Chapter 78: Thousands of love

Zhao Haisheng sat for a while, then said, "About the fight before, we didn't, it's not right, I asked Qisheng, wait two days, and let him tell you in person."

When Mi Yang heard him say this, he stopped eating his cakes and was about to ask more questions, but Bai Luochuan broke off a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "I was also wrong. Let's sit down and talk about it later. Compared with yesterday, everything is a small matter."

Zhao Haisheng grinned and said honestly, "I'll listen to you."

After they left, Mi Yang looked back at Bai Luochuan and asked, "You never told me what happened?"

Bai Luochuan finished feeding Mi Yang the small piece of cake in his hand, and when he saw Mi Yang eating it up obediently, he said, "It's nothing. It's just that one time when you went to stay at your grandma's house, I heard some noise outside, so I went to check and saw that the glass of the room on the first floor was broken, and Fu Qisheng was standing outside looking at it in a panic... I thought he stole something, so I had an argument with him. Later, I ran into him outside again, and Wang Bing and his group came with more people, so we started fighting without saying a word."

Mi Yang was a little surprised: "What did he steal?"

Bai Luochuan frowned and said, "That's the weird thing. Nothing was lost in the house, only the glass was broken."

Mi Yang said: "No wonder you refused to tell me no matter how I asked."

Bai Luochuan nodded and said, "Yes, I called him a thief before, but he didn't lose anything, and I never said anything about him when I met him again. This man is very stubborn and tight-lipped. He stood there with his neck stiff and didn't explain anything. Now I think I must have misunderstood him." After thinking for a while, he laughed and said, "These two brothers are quite interesting. Zhao Haisheng looks honest but also a little shrewd. Fu Qisheng looks weak but very stubborn. He is very strong and stubborn. But they are both very brave."

Mi Yang has always had a very good impression of Zhao Haisheng, and nodded and said, "They are very nice. When Fu Qisheng is well, I will go with you to ask him about it. Once the misunderstanding is resolved, everything will be fine."

Bai Luochuan said: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

He imitated Zhao Haisheng and said something, but his tone was not as steady as Zhao Haisheng's. He said it with a smile as if he was coaxing a child, doting on him to no end.

Old lady Cheng went to the hospital twice a day and brought a lot of food. Mi Yang couldn't eat so much, so Bai Luochuan ate most of it for him, but there was still a lot left. Mi Yang felt sorry for her and didn't want her to toss and turn anymore. Old lady Cheng stayed with him until the evening, and only after hearing the doctor say "you can be discharged from the hospital" did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Bai Luochuan discussed it with the old lady. Because the Bai family had a family doctor, and Old Lady Cheng trusted them, they had known each other for so many years. When she heard Bai Luochuan say that he would take Mi Yang to live there for a few days, she immediately agreed. She said to Bai Luochuan, "I would be very grateful to your family if you can help me take care of Xiaoguai. I will have someone send the food over when I cook it. You and Xiaoguai can eat together. Don't think I'm annoying."

Bai Luochuan smiled and said, "How could that be? I want to eat the food you cook, too."

Old Madam Cheng smiled and said, "That's no problem. When I make it for Xiaoguai, I'll bring an extra portion for you."

After sending Mi Yang to the Bai family's car, Old Mrs. Cheng was reluctant to let him go. It was only after Bai Luochuan repeatedly promised to call her every day to report his safety that the old lady finally let them go together.

Mi Yang was only slightly choked by water and was discharged from the hospital quickly, but Fu Qisheng suffered multiple injuries, including many external injuries, and three ribs were broken. Now he can only lie in the hospital to recuperate.

Fu Qisheng's mother wiped her tears as she took care of him. She felt distressed seeing her child wrapped in bandages, especially since the doctor almost had them transferred to another hospital yesterday. Later, the doctor from the Bai family came and consulted together, and only then was the rescue plan determined and his condition began to improve.

The doctor said that a rib almost pierced the lung and he was only one step away from death. It was truly a life that was saved.

Fu Qisheng was young, and although he was injured, he was able to muster up the energy to comfort his mother: "I'm fine, just lie down, mom..."

Fu's mother walked over and approached him to make him speak less. As soon as she got closer, she heard Fu Qisheng whisper, "Mom, please take me home. I don't want to stay in the hospital. It costs a lot of money."

Fu's mother burst into tears and said to him, "What's the use of money? My son is almost dead. What do I need them for? Qisheng, listen to your mother and take good care of yourself in the hospital. We will leave when you recover."

Fu Qisheng looked at her and said after a while: "But you have to go to work..."

Mother Fu said, "It's okay. The Bai family specially gave me some time off, and told me to take care of you for a few more days. It won't be too late to go back after you get better." She tucked the corner of Fu Qisheng's quilt and muttered, "Their family is really nice. They gave me half a year's salary in advance. Mom has money now, so you can rest assured and recover. As long as people are around, you have everything."

Fu Qisheng said slowly: "Is their family good to you?"

Mother Fu smiled and said, "Great, this is the best customer I've ever met."

She fed Fu Qisheng some water to moisten his mouth, then sat beside him to accompany him.

Fu Qisheng has always been very silent. When he occasionally feels pain, he only sweats on his forehead and doesn't cry out easily. Fu's mother feels sorry for him, but every time she asks, her son comforts her instead, and a few words make her cry. She has a bad life. Her husband has been bedridden for years and is very sick. When her son first started to understand things, he knew to help her with work. The mother and daughter have always supported each other and survived like this. When other children were young, they had delicious food on their birthdays, but her family was poor. Even if there was a good one, Qisheng would break it open and force it into her mouth. Only after she ate it, he would be willing to eat it...

She had already lost her husband, and Qi Sheng was her last hope. If she lost her son, she really didn't know how to live.

On the afternoon of the day Fu Qisheng woke up, someone sent him a bouquet of flowers and a fruit basket. The person who came was a girl, accompanied by her parents. Her arm was fixed in a plaster cast, and her face had some abrasions that had begun to scab over the medicine she had applied.

Fu Qisheng did not recognize her. He just glanced at her while lying on the bed without saying a word.

The girl stood there and moved her lips, then bowed to him, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you... Thank you, my name is Xu Ran, and I'm the one you saved. I really, really don't know what to say. It's all my fault. I got you into trouble..." The girl started crying as she spoke, and was afraid of disturbing the patient's rest, so she bit her lip and was so emotional that her shoulders were shaking. She thanked him incoherently and said sorry.

Her mother supported her. She and her husband both looked like intellectuals. She adjusted her glasses and her eyes were red. She spoke slowly, "My wife and I are very grateful to Fu Qisheng. Without him, I'm afraid my daughter would not have come back. We are willing to bear all of Fu's medical expenses. Please agree to let us do our part."

Fu Qisheng and his mother obviously did not expect them to say such words. After a moment of silence, Fu's mother stood up and stammered, not knowing what to say. They had been honest and dutiful all their lives, and even though they risked their lives to save people like this, they had never thought about asking for any reward from the other party.

The Xu family insisted again and again, and the Zhao family happened to be there, so they took Fu's mother and the Xu family out to discuss the matter, leaving only Zhao Haisheng in the ward to accompany his cousin who had just woken up.

Fu Qisheng was still looking at the door, without moving his eyes away for a long time.

Zhao Haisheng also looked up and said to him, "Don't look at it. This is what they should do." He stretched out his hand to cover Fu Qisheng with a blanket and said coldly, "My brother only has one life. They are paying money to compensate. It's too cheap for them."

He looked down at Fu Qisheng's ten bandaged fingers. Qisheng and the girl were not caught by the dead tree that day. It was Qisheng who held on to the glimmer of hope with his fingers. Fu Qisheng was not a good swimmer, but fortunately he had brute force. He dug his fingers into the dead tree. When he was rescued, the nails on his ten fingers were cracked, and the bright red flesh was soaked in the water.

Zhao Haisheng had an unpleasant expression on his face, but Fu Qisheng looked at him and grinned.

Zhao Haisheng said: "Laugh, laugh your ass off."

Fu Qisheng was still grinning, and said in a muffled voice: "Brother, I knew you would come to save me."

Zhao Haisheng wanted to scold him, but his mouth was not sharp enough. The angrier he got, the less he could say. He couldn't hit his cousin Shangcheng in such a horrible state, so he could only say with a dark face: "Get lost, bastard! If Mi Yang hadn't been here this time, you would have died! No one can save you, you almost died, and you're still laughing, what a joke!"

Fu Qisheng was scolded, but he was not upset at all. When the sunlight fell on him, he felt warm all over and returned to the world.

Fu Qisheng said: "Brother, no, I will definitely cherish this life."

Zhao Haisheng stopped cursing, panting and looking at him, his eyes red as he said, "You're going to die, how can I explain to my aunt? She must, must go with you."

Fu Qisheng was silent for a moment, then said, "I promise that I will live well."

Zhao Haisheng said: "Next time, think about your mother."

Fu Qisheng said: "Hey."

The students who were sent there together are also in the hospital now. Some of them are waiting for their parents to pick them up, and those who are injured have been arranged to go for examination. Except for Fu Qisheng and the girl named Xu Ran, the others only have some superficial injuries and are mentally frightened, and nothing is wrong.

Xu Ran's parents were worried about their daughter, so they asked her to stay in the hospital for another day for observation. Although several other people in the mountains were clamoring to go home, when they saw Xu Ran staying in the hospital, they also stayed in the hospital for a day for observation. One boy said he felt dizzy and was given some glucose.

By the afternoon, when they are sure that there is nothing wrong, they will be discharged from the hospital.

The rescue team and the hospital people stopped them for one reason only: to ask them to pay the money before leaving.

Those parents thought they only needed to send a banner, and they never expected that they would have to pay money. They were dumbfounded. Only Xu Ran and the other two families were seriously asking how much they should pay. When the parent of a boy nearby heard the rescue team report the amount of thousands of yuan, his eyes widened and he asked, "How is it possible? How can it be so much!"

Another parent also hesitated and said, "Yes, it is a basic human right for citizens to be rescued when they are in danger. Isn't it irresponsible for you to make a profit like this?"

"Can you charge any search and rescue fee? Why is it so much? I just got lost in the mountains and couldn't get down..."

Captain Wang of the rescue team was a dark-skinned man. He frowned and looked at the parents around him. Half of them wanted to pay, while the other half were still grumbling. He sneered and said, "Lost? Look at them yourself. Where were you rescued yesterday? Let them decide for themselves whether the situation is dangerous or not! There is a cliff ahead. If a local child hadn't stopped them, they would have fallen down and died!"

The word "death" was too strong, and the parents around immediately fell silent.

Captain Wang said, "We are doing this on a voluntary basis, and there is no charge. The money you are asked to pay is a fine paid to the forestry department for cutting down some trees and clearing road obstacles when we mobilized vehicles into the mountains to prevent accidents."

After finding out how much money this was, the parents had no choice but to accept it.

At this time, someone from the nearby hospital also stepped forward and said, "Then please settle the hospital fees as well."

There was a boy who had received glucose injections. His father took out several dozen yuan and was about to pay for the money, but was stopped by the hospital staff, who said, "It's not enough."

The parent was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are there any other expenses?"

The hospital staff said, "Yes, let me start from the beginning. Your child came here by ambulance last night. The ambulance charges are calculated based on the total round-trip mileage, 2 yuan per kilometer, plus a 10 yuan visit fee. The round-trip fee from the hospital to the mountain is 200 yuan per person... Oh, and a few students used stretchers, so there is also an additional charge for that."

The parent said with a bad face: "I have also taken an ambulance, but I have never encountered one so expensive. I will find your leader and ask what kind of car it is!"

The man from the hospital said, "No need, I'm the leader. They were in a CPR rescue vehicle. The situation was critical, and we made arrangements to save lives as soon as possible. This one was specially transferred for you." He didn't want to say anything harsh in front of the child, but he couldn't help but say, "You gave birth to them, so you have to educate them and be responsible. Otherwise, don't blame society for teaching you how to be a citizen!"

Xu Ran's father apologized to the doctor and the rescue team, and took the lead in saying that he would pay the money. He then asked in a low voice: "The child had a check-up yesterday. I want to pay the extra money for this part. Can I pay it all together?"

The hospital staff's expression eased a little and said, "Yes, it's together. I'll go get the bill for you."

Xu Ran was the most seriously injured one besides Fu Qisheng, and the cost was the highest. Some parents nearby felt that it had nothing to do with them and were still calculating the two sums of money. The doctor turned to them and said, "You guys came too. When you arrived yesterday afternoon, you also insisted on checking the children, right?"

Those parents were speechless. Some of them looked embarrassed when they saw the doctor's expression, and one or two others were still dissatisfied.

But this time, the dissatisfaction was directed at the Xu family. Xu Ran remained silent and did not make eye contact with these classmates and parents. She will always remember the moment she fell, and the eyes of others shrank back and avoided her like snakes and scorpions.

Because Fu Qisheng and Zhao Haisheng were among those who went up the mountain without permission and needed to be rescued, they also needed to bear this part of the cost. Xu Ran's parents took the initiative to pay for them. He also asked the boy who rushed to save Xu Ran yesterday if he could also pay for the ambulance. Their family saved their daughter's life and they cherish it very much.

The other party said, "Mi Yang, right? No need, he has already paid the money and has been discharged from the hospital."

Xu Ran's father asked again: "Where is his home? We want to go to his house in person to thank him."

The other party said: "I don't know much about this, but the one who sent him here is from the Bai family. You can go to Shanhai Town and ask around and you will know."

After Xu Ran's parents took their daughter out of the hospital, they actually went to ask around. The Bai family's old house was very easy to find. There was only one Bai family in the whole town. When Xu Ran's family went there, they didn't see anyone. Only a family doctor who usually took care of Mr. Bai came out and said coldly, "Mi Yang is still recovering and needs quiet time. There's no need to come here specially. I understand."

Only then did Xu's parents give up.

Mi Yang knew nothing about this, he was very busy at the Bai family.

Old Master Bai watched the two children grow up together. He finally saw them almost become teenagers, but suddenly one of them almost lost. The old man himself was frightened and wanted to take out all the supplements and ask the kitchen to make it and feed it to Mi Yang.

On the other side, Old Lady Cheng was in the same mood. She asked Cheng Ru to drive to deliver soup every two or three days, and made Mi Yang's favorite side dishes and snacks every day. Mi Hong didn't do this, but a few days later, he also sent a small box wrapped in brocade to the Bai family. Inside was an old mountain ginseng. No one knew where he got it from. Even the doctor who took care of Mr. Bai was amazed and said that he hadn't seen such a good and intact ginseng in many years.

Mr. Bai thought for a moment and said, "Slice the ginseng and let Yangyang eat it?"

The doctor laughed and said, "That won't work. They are young and have a lot of internal heat. They can't be nourished like this. I'll talk to the kitchen and ask them to add a little when stewing the chicken soup."

Mr. Bai said, "Okay, you decide."

Then, chicken soup was added to Mi Yang’s daily meal.

Skimming off the excess fat, and discarding the chicken that had been stewed until the meat was tender and the bones were crispy, all that was left was this bowl of clear chicken soup, which had been simmered on the fire for several hours. The large pot was condensed into two or three small bowls, just for him to drink. The chef was very skilled, and even with the addition of medicinal herbs, you couldn't smell anything. The soup was delicious, and when you drank it while it was hot, it started to warm up from the stomach, and in a moment, your whole body was warm.

Mi Yang drank the chicken and ginseng soup sent by his grandfather, ate the snacks sent by his grandmother, and ate three meals a day under the concerned gazes of everyone in the Bai family. If he ate one more bite, everyone around him would want to applaud him.

Mi Yang stood up with the help of the dining table, his eyes were already a little straight, and he said: "No, I really can't eat anymore..."

Bai Luochuan also put down his chopsticks and said, "Then I won't eat."

Mi Yang took two steps holding the table. Before he left the restaurant, he heard Bai Luochuan say to the kitchen, "Bring out the bowl of chicken soup." Young Master Bai turned his head and looked at Mi Yang's face, which looked like he had eaten so much that he had no desire to live. He suddenly smiled and said soothingly, "Just a small bowl. After you drink it, I'll let you go back to your room to read or do anything else. Okay?"

Mi Yang: “…”

Mi Yang felt that all this love and care was too heavy a burden. What could he do when his belly was not growing
