Chapter 77: vitality

When the doctor came, he was accompanied by people from the Cheng family. Even Mi Hong, who refused to go out all year round, came with them. They filled the small single room where Mi Yang lived. Bai Luochuan held the hand of old lady Cheng and stood closest to the doctor. The old woman watched the doctor treating her grandson nervously and whispered to him not to be afraid.

The doctor looked at him for a while and said, "It's okay. It might be a fever caused by shock. It's not a problem now, but for safety reasons, let's observe him for another day. If the condition is good, he can be discharged tomorrow."

Old Mrs. Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and touched Mi Yang's little face, and forced a smile and said, "I told you that my Yang Yang would be fine. What do you want to eat? Grandma will make it for you."

Cheng Ru also said: "Yes, our home is close to here, and Third Aunt will drive here and bring it to you in a while."

After the examination, the doctor wrote me a prescription and told me to take some simple anti-inflammatory medicine.

Cheng Ru said to the old lady, "Mom, you stay here and talk to Yangyang. I'll go get the medicine and send her to the nurse's station. Yangyang will need an IV drip later."

The old lady agreed and looked at her grandson with eyes full of pity.

Bai Luochuan also followed the doctor out. Mi Yang's blood vessels were relatively thin, and ordinary needles always bulged. He wanted to ask if there were any thinner or softer needles for children.

Mi Hong looked at his grandson for a while, and seeing that someone was taking care of him, he went out silently.

After a while, he returned to the ward, left some money for Mi Yang, and told him: "I have already paid the hospital bills, you don't have to worry about anything, come out after you get well, and you don't have to come to see me during this period, it's not too late to learn the craft after you get well at your grandma's."

The old man probably hadn't communicated with anyone for a long time, so his tone was a little stiff. He only slowed down a little when talking to Mi Yang, but he was not a talkative person. After he finished speaking, he put down the money and left.

Old Mrs. Cheng did not refuse. She looked at the money on the small cabinet next to her and smiled. She touched Mi Yang's hair and said, "Your grandfather loves you."

Mi Yang also smiled and nodded: "Well, I know, you are good to me too."

Old Madam Cheng tapped his nose, looking distressed, and said, "I was so scared yesterday because you didn't wake up. I was wondering how I would explain to your mother if something unexpected happened!"

Mi Yang asked: "Grandma, have you told my mom?"

Old Madam Cheng said, "I wanted to tell her last night, but I was afraid she would be anxious and come over overnight. Your third aunt said she would call after the doctor examined you this morning. The doctor also kept comforting us, saying that you were just tired... I just told your mother a little while ago, and she is also very anxious. She will come over in two days!"

As the old lady spoke, she mentioned a few dishes and insisted that Mi Yang choose. Mi Yang thought for a while and said, "Grandma, I want to eat white porridge and some spicy pickles."

Old Mrs. Cheng said, "Little sweetheart, white porridge is fine. The doctor said you can't eat anything too spicy right now. Can grandma make you some pickles? The sweet kind?"

Mi Yang said: "Okay."

When Old Mrs. Cheng got his confirmation, she was happy and waited for Cheng Ru to come back and followed her car back to cook.

Bai Luochuan did not leave, but stayed in the ward with him, saying, "Just now I saw grandpa go to pay the hospital bill. I paid it yesterday, and he paid so much that it can't be used at all. I asked the doctor and he can go back tonight. I will help you refund it then."

Mi Yang nodded and said "OK" to everything Bai Luochuan said. He was obedient and trusted him.

Bai Luochuan took an apple and sat aside to peel it for him. He looked at him and saw that Mi Yang's eyes were following him like a baby bird waiting to be fed. Wherever he went, the child on the hospital bed followed his gaze.

Bai Luochuan cut a piece of apple and fed it to him. Mi Yang chewed it slowly and ate it. He kept eating after feeding him half an apple. When Bai Luochuan reached out to touch his belly, he was obedient and didn't resist at all. He was very well behaved.

Bai Luochuan sat on the bed and looked at him thoughtfully. He raised his hand and tapped the child on the forehead, saying, "Are you scared now?"

Mi Yang reached out and hugged him, saying, "I'm scared."

Bai Luochuan's heart had softened, but he still said in a firm voice: "Will you dare to do it again next time? This is simply nonsense. I asked you to blow the whistle on the shore, and you dared to go into the water. The water level is higher than you!"

The little head in my arms shook slightly and whispered, "I don't dare anymore."

Bai Luochuan grabbed the man and stared at him, pinching his chin. Mi Yang's hair was probably a little messy because he had just woken up. He tried hard to think of the correct answer and added, "There won't be a next time, really."

Bai Luochuan was slightly satisfied, so he let him go and said, "I'll get you a glass of water."

Mi Yang felt a little flustered now that he couldn't see him, so he sat up and said, "No, I don't want to drink water."

Bai Luochuan asked: "Then what do you want?"

Mi Yang pinched the corner of the quilt and said, "Please stay with me for a while."

Bai Luochuan lifted the quilt and lay close to him. He suddenly laughed, hugged him and said, "Are you so afraid that I will leave? I won't leave. I will stay here with you for the whole day. When the doctor says it's okay tonight, I will take you home... Come back to my house, okay? There is a doctor at grandpa's place. I am really worried. Let's observe for two more days, okay?"

Mi Yang sat next to him, thought for a while and said, "I have to tell grandma."

Bai Luochuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go tell grandma."

Mi Yang leaned on his shoulder and closed his eyes, his mind still thinking about the thrilling things in the dream. His heart was beating too fast and he seemed a little sluggish. When Bai Luochuan talked to him, it took him a while to think clearly and respond slowly.

Seeing that he looked listless after waking up, Bai Luochuan held his hand and spoke to him in a low voice: "You know, the girl you and Zhao Haisheng pulled up is fine, and Fu Qisheng has also been rescued."

Mi Yang moved slightly and asked, "Are they all safe? Are they also in this hospital?"

Bai Luochuan said, "Yes, they are out of danger. The girl broke two arms, and Fu Qisheng's injury was more serious, but he was rescued yesterday. He has a strong desire to live, and his family is with him, so he will be fine." Probably to comfort Mi Yang, he said a little more, "I asked grandpa to give Aunt Zhao a few more days off to take care of Fu Qisheng, don't worry."

Mi Yang thought for a while before he realized that Bai Luochuan was talking about the aunt who cleaned the courtyard and whom he met at the Bai family's old house last time, who was Fu Qisheng's mother. At that time, the aunt asked him to help bring White Rabbit milk candy to the town.

Mi Yang nodded and said, "Okay."

Bai Luochuan hugged him, patted his back gently, and talked to him: "The city attaches great importance to this matter this time, and specially arranged people to come to see you. They want to present you, Zhao Haisheng, Fu Qisheng and others with silk banners, and there should be bonuses or something. Anyway, just take it when the time comes. The city has already decided to build a tourist attraction, and they want to rate it 5A. If something really goes wrong this time, there will be nothing left. You really helped a lot."

Mi Yang was stunned for a moment: "Tourist attractions...?"

Bai Luochuan knew a lot of information and said, "Yes, I heard that area of the town also needs to be replanned and rebuilt. Maybe all the houses will be demolished. Someone will come to measure the area of the houses in a few days."

Mi Yang's hands holding his clothes tightened, his Adam's apple rolled, he thought of the accident in his dream again, and the rolling boulder... With such a force, if the Bai family's old house, which was close to the foot of the mountain, was the first to be covered by it, the whole Shanhai Town would probably be destroyed.

After he woke up, he had not yet recovered from the shock and was confused about many things for a while, but the fear was still there.

Bai Luochuan's word "demolition" gave him a glimmer of hope in this fear, and it expanded little by little, like light breaking through dark clouds, which quickly illuminated the ground and dispelled the haze.

Mi Yang was stunned and asked, "The whole town is going to be demolished? Move to another place?"

Bai Luochuan said, "I heard from my grandfather that the city is planning this. Because my old house occupies too much land, and there are two small mountains behind it, I came to talk to my grandfather first."

Mi Yang sat up and asked seriously, "Grandpa Bai, do you want to move?"

Bai Luochuan said: "Grandpa doesn't think it's a big deal. Although he is old, he doesn't care about these things. But I don't know if anyone in the town objects. After all, every demolition is difficult to handle."

Mi Yang breathed a sigh of relief. If the Bai family took the lead, things would not be difficult to handle.

If a scenic spot is built, there will be people to maintain it, which can prevent all sources of tragedy, and the demolition of the town can avoid all misfortunes... Thinking of this, Mi Yang felt a heavy stone in his heart, and his eyes regained their luster. At this moment, he also felt hungry, touched his stomach, and said, "Bai Luochuan, I'm hungry."

Master Bai reached out and touched it, and said, "I must be hungry. I've only eaten half an apple since yesterday noon. What do you want to eat?"

Mi Yang said: "I want to eat chicken legs!"

Bai Luochuan nodded and went out. After a while, he came back with a bowl of porridge and a plate of cakes. At this time, he still had to eat the light hospital meal. He was not given any chicken legs, but Mi Yang ate it very happily.

Bai Luochuan looked at him eating with big mouthfuls and said dissatisfiedly: "You look quite normal when you eat, but how can you be so heartless? You were so scared just now, but you're fine now?"

Mi Yang swallowed the cake in his mouth and said with a smile: "I just think that doing good things will be rewarded, I am very happy."

Bai Luochuan sneered: "What kind of reward is this? A broken silk banner?"

Mi Yang pursed his lips and smiled, "Do you believe in cause and effect?"

Bai Luochuan looked at him for a while, then sighed and said, "Believe me, how can I not believe you? I will accompany you to be a good person and do good deeds in the future, okay? If you have the ability, take care of me for the rest of my life, don't get sick, and don't let anything happen to me again."

Mi Yang nodded, and smiled again, not knowing what he remembered.

After a while, someone knocked on the door. Bai Luochuan got up and opened the door. He saw two half-grown boys standing outside. One was supporting the other. Their injured legs were bandaged. They rolled up their hospital gowns and jumped over tenaciously with crutches and shoulders. When they saw Bai Luochuan and Mi Yang, their eyes lit up and they grinned, "I, I came to see you! I hope you're awake!"

Mi Yang recognized him and waved for them to come in and sit down: "Wang Bing, why did you help Zhao Haisheng over here? Come and sit down quickly, don't hurt yourself anymore."

Bai Luochuan gave them the chairs to sit on, and sat next to Mi Yang on the bed, coaxing him softly to finish the remaining half of the cake.

Mi Yang took a bite from his hand and chewed it. Seeing the two people sitting in silence on the opposite chair, he asked curiously, "What's wrong? What are you doing here?"

Zhao Haisheng was not good at speaking, but his face was full of gratitude, and his sincerity could be seen without words. Wang Bing felt a little embarrassed when he saw Bai Luochuan. He had some prejudice against the young master of the Bai family before, but he put aside his grudges and helped them in every way, and even saved Fu Qisheng's life. He felt very uncomfortable and spoke first: "We want to say thank you, really, Mi Yang, this time it is thanks to you and Bai Luochuan, if it weren't for you, not to mention Qisheng, even Haisheng might not be saved, thank you very much!"

Zhao Haisheng was more direct than him. He sat there and said, "My brother and I were saved by you. If you have any problems, just tell us. We will never say a word."

Mi Yang laughed but didn't take it to heart. However, Bai Luochuan next to him looked up at him, re-examined the man, and was silent for a while as if thinking about something.

Mi Yang asked again: "Where is Qisheng? I heard that he is out of danger. Is he awake now?"

Wang Bing said, "I woke up, even earlier than you did. I opened my eyes at about six this morning. I was hungry first. You don't know Qisheng's small body. He looks so skinny and frail, but he's very strong and can eat. As long as he can open his eyes and eat, he'll be fine. He usually eats more than the three of us, haha!"

Zhao Haisheng smiled and said, "My brother has a tough life."
