Su Yuehua didn't dare to meddle in other people's business at this moment. She just walked past the woman and walked out of the ward.
When she came back from the bathroom, the woman was already feeding the man mouthful of braised pork.
As soon as she sat down, Gao Chunhai came back from outside, "Sister-in-law, I just asked the doctor, Chengyi can go home to recover from his injuries and can be discharged at any time. What's that smell in this room?"
He smelled a foul odor as soon as he walked into the ward, but it was not obvious and it would get stronger.
Su Yuehua also smelled it at this moment. She was about to open the door of the ward while holding her nose when she heard the scream of the woman in the bed next to her, "Oh my God, how could you go to the toilet without making any noise? How come you..."
"Wife, I wanted to tell you something, but I just couldn't help it. I didn't want to, I..." The man held the woman's hand with a look of grievance and refused to let go.
Su Yuehua didn't want to stay and continue to smell the stench, so she covered her nose and said, "Chunhai, let's go now. You help Chengyi get discharged from the hospital, and I'll pack my luggage."
Gao Chunhai and Su Yuehua had the same idea and nodded, covering their noses.
As they were talking, the room was already stinking. Su Yuehua quickly packed up her things and helped Shen Chengyi out of the ward.
The two stood outside the ward for a short while before Gao Chunhai's discharge procedures were completed. "Sister-in-law, why aren't you and Chengyi waiting for me in the room?"
Shen Chengyi glanced at the ward he had just stayed in, and said with some disdain: "The smell in the room is as bad as a poison gas bomb. I can't stay here at all. Have you completed the discharge procedures?"
"It's done. We can leave now. The car is waiting downstairs." Gao Chunhai took the luggage from Su Yuehua with a smile.
Su Yuehua helped Shen Chengyi get into the jeep, closed the door casually, and said to the young soldier driving in front: “Xiao Yang, let’s go to the supply and marketing cooperative first, I want to buy some things.”
I'll go and thank the father and son who saved Shen Chengyi later. It would be rude to come empty-handed for the first time, not to mention that the two of them saved Shen Chengyi's life.
The county town is not big, and it only takes one step on the accelerator to get there. After the jeep stopped, Su Yuehua opened the door and got out of the car. Shen Chengyi wanted to follow, but was pushed back by her. "Your injuries haven't healed yet, just let your brother accompany me."
To save Shen Chengyi's family, which was in poor condition, Su Yuehua thought about buying some practical things and wanted to call Shen Chengzhong to discuss it.
"Brother, is there anything missing at home in the countryside? I heard from Cheng Yi that you can save his family. They are in financial difficulty and the old man has a strange disease."
Shen Chengzhong thought for a moment and said, “There is a shortage of everything in the countryside, grain, salt, sugar, matches…”
As they were talking, the two had already walked into the supply and marketing cooperative. The supply and marketing cooperative in the county town was not big, but the goods were very complete. Su Yuehua followed Shen Chengzhong's advice and "bought ten catties of white flour, ten catties of corn flour, two catties of brown sugar, one catty of salt, and two packs of matches."
She would have no more tickets if she bought more. The ticket for the two kilograms of brown sugar was issued by the company where she gave birth. She brought it out thinking that it might be useful since Shen Chengyi was injured.
Su Yuehua looked at the things she had bought and felt that the gift was a little light, so she bought two bottles of malted milk, which was just enough to nourish the patient.
After buying things, the two got in the jeep and drove all the way to the village where Shen Chengyi was rescued.
The jeep drove for more than two hours and was still circling on the winding mountain road. The road conditions were very bad and we had to avoid falling rocks from the cliff at any time.
There was a deep abyss under the road. Su Yuehua was sitting in the jeep and her heart ached when she looked down.
The jeep drove for more than half an hour and finally saw a village, or more accurately, a stockade.
Su Yuehua had only seen the small wooden houses and the clothes worn by the people inside on TV.
As soon as the jeep drove into the village, it was surrounded by a group of children.
Shen Chengyi saw an old man wearing ethnic minority clothes and holding a hookah coming over, and rolled down the window and shouted, "Old man."
When the old man saw Shen Chengyi, his gray eyes suddenly lit up, “Child, your injury is healed.”
Shen Chengyi opened the car door and walked down, “Okay, I brought my wife here today to thank you and your son for saving my life.”
"I don't deserve your life-saving grace. I'm relieved to see that you're okay. I'll go call Heida. He will be very happy to see you back." After the old man said this, he ran behind the mountain.
Not long after, a young man who was also wearing ethnic minority costumes came back with the old man. When he saw Shen Chengyi, he smiled with his teeth showing, “Chengyi, Dad said you’re back, I thought he was teasing me, come in quickly.”
Su Yuehua carried the things and followed Shen Chengyi into Heida’s house.
Heida's family can be described as extremely poor. There are two bamboo beds in a small room. The woman lying on one of the beds cannot be seen clearly, but from her round belly, it can be guessed that she is a pregnant woman.
The old man was embarrassed when he saw Shen Chengyi brought so many things, “Kid, why did you bring so many things, take them back quickly, we can’t have them.”
Su Yuehua smiled and said, "Old man, these are a little gift from my husband and me, you must accept them. Compared to you and your son saving Cheng Yi, these things are nothing."
"I really can't imagine what the children and I would have done if Cheng Yi hadn't met you and your son."
"Cough cough." The sudden cough of the woman lying on the bed interrupted the conversation of several people.
Heida brought a bowl of water to the bed and said, "Mom, drink some water to moisten your throat."
After that, he explained to the others, "My mother went into the mountains and got caught in the rain two days ago, and she has a cough."
At first, Su Yuehua thought that the person lying on the bed was Heida’s wife, but she didn’t expect it was his mother. She was even more surprised. How could she still get pregnant at such an old age?
As a nurse, it was her professional habit to always carry some essential medicines in her bag. This time when she was going on a long journey, she specially brought some more with her.
I’m afraid someone might get hurt on the road.
She took out the medicine from her bag, walked to the bedside and handed it to Heida. She explained patiently for fear that he could not read, "Heida, this is the medicine for treating colds that I brought from home. This small bottle is for coughs. Take three tablets three times a day. This white medicine is for reducing fever. Take it when you have a fever. Don't take it if you don't have a fever."
"Thank you." Heida took the medicine, said thank you, and immediately fed the medicine to the old lady.
Because she was close, Su Yuehua could take a closer look at the old lady's belly. She was definitely not pregnant, nor was she fat.
"Heida, Auntie's belly."
When Heida heard Su Yuehua asking, his face changed drastically and he looked like he didn't want to say anything.
Su Yuehua was afraid that they didn't understand and would mistake the illness for the real reason. "Heida, I am absolutely sure that Auntie has a tumor in her stomach."
"What is a tumor?" Heida had obviously never heard of it before, and looked at Su Yuehua with wide eyes.
Su Yuehua didn't know how to explain it to him for a moment, saying that they would definitely not understand her professional knowledge, so she could only explain it directly, "It's just a big lump of flesh swollen in the stomach, and it needs surgery to take it out. It's a disease."
