Tang Li's lips were pale, and she felt dizzy. She collapsed into Yan Hui's arms.
Bai Jingyue panicked upon hearing this.
If I had known, I should have let Tang Li sleep in the same room with her.
No one expected that there would be snakes in that house that had been uninhabited for so long.
Tang Liming had already cleaned everything up, but after moving in, the increased indoor temperature caused some trouble instead.
"Auntie, you should go back to sleep early. I'll take her to the nearest hospital. How far is the nearest hospital from here?"
Bai Jingyue was also worried, as the snow outside probably hadn't stopped yet.
"You two go to the hospital now. The nearest township hospital is seven miles away, which will take at least two hours. The roads are difficult to travel on this snowy day, so it may take even longer!"
Yan Hui looked worried. Tang Li's condition was already very bad; the snake was probably poisonous.
Her condition cannot be delayed for even a moment.
Besides, the weather is bad, and even if we wait until tomorrow morning, the snow might not stop.
If we wait any longer, the snow will only get thicker.
"Auntie, let me take her out first. The snake might be poisonous, and she can't hold on much longer."
Without saying a word, Yan Hui carried Tang Li on his back.
Tang Li has fallen into a coma.
After the jolt by Yan Hui, she became much more awake, but her head ached, her vision was blurry, she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, and she even started to have hallucinations.
Tang Li's voice was low and deep, "Yan Hui, the roads outside are very slippery, are you really sure you can handle it?"
Even if it doesn't work, we should still give it a try.
Are we just going to watch Tang Li wait here to die?
Medical conditions in the village are not as good as in the city, and in this heavy snow, we have to rely on ourselves.
My biggest worry is that the local hospitals won't be able to cure the snake venom; I hope that won't be the case.
Yan Hui carried Tang Li out the door, and the howling cold wind outside chilled Tang Li to the bone, making him mostly sober.
She whispered, "Yan Hui, put me down. I can walk by myself."
Yan Hui stubbornly and persistently carried her on his back.
“I’ll carry you on my back, it’s fine. That way we can get there faster and you won’t be too cold.”
The north wind was bitingly cold, and Tang Li looked around at the pitch blackness, feeling as if it were the end of the world.
She was dizzy and even hallucinating; perhaps this was just her own personal doomsday.
"Yan Hui, do you think I might just die like this?"
Yan Hui showed obvious resistance when he heard the word "death".
“It’s impossible!” he told Tang Li firmly. “You’ll be fine. We’ll be at the hospital soon.”
The roads were already difficult to walk on a snowy day, and Yan Hui was carrying Tang Li on his back, so his trouser legs and shoes were already soaked through, dripping wet.
Her feet were so cold they were almost numb, but Yan Hui seemed oblivious, continuing to walk forward.
“I studied abroad for four years. When I came back, my home was gone, and my sister was gone too. They kept everything from me so that I could have peace of mind while I was abroad…”
Yan Hui took the initiative to tell his story, which surprised Tang Li.
"When I first met you, I thought you were some kind of delinquent youth, a rebellious teenager who had a conflict with his family and ran away from home."
Yan Hui chuckled softly upon hearing Tang Li's speculation.
He whispered, "If that's the case, then at least I still have a home."
Tang Li hesitated before saying, "If you don't mind, you can treat me as your older sister. Didn't you say that I look a lot like your older sister?"
I just don't know if she can make it through tonight.
"Sister, have you ever regretted anything in your life?"
Tang Li thought for a moment, would concealing the cause of Tang's mother's death from Lu Jianshen count as such?
If they had told Lu Jianshen sooner, it would have meant that their fate would have run out sooner.
Does she regret giving birth to A-Lu?
She has no regrets; from now on, the world will have one more relative who is connected to her by blood.
If I had to say what I regret, it seems there isn't anything, just some regrets.
It's a pity I couldn't spend more of my mother's final days with her.
Tang Li had a splitting headache, but she still answered, "There are some minor regrets, but isn't that how life is? Nothing is perfect."
Yan Hui smiled, realizing she hadn't regretted her decision. That was good.
"Sister, I regret studying abroad. If I hadn't gone abroad, I could have stayed with my family and been with them. I wouldn't be all alone now."
Tang Li closed her eyes tightly twice, then opened them again. Her breathing became rapid, and her limbs gradually became weak and limp.
Even if we put her down now, she won't get very far.
"Yan Hui, don't regret it. This is a decision your family made for you. They hope you live well, complete your studies, and achieve great things."
This wasn't Yan Hui's own decision. If his family wanted him to come back, they would have notified him long ago.
Yan Hui was simply following his family's decision; he was to stay abroad and live a good life.
"This is what your family expects of you... They hope you can live well and face life positively..."
Tang Li's voice grew softer and softer.
She felt like she couldn't breathe.
Death seems to be getting closer and closer. So this is what death is like. It doesn't seem so scary after all.
What will happen to Ah Lu if she's gone?
A-Lu is only 6 years old this year. He can't live without his mother. Tang Li suddenly became determined.
Yan Hui also sensed that the life force of the person he was carrying was gradually being drained away.
He felt anxious and quickened his pace, but they had only covered half the distance.
