The children looked at each other, and no one recognized the man in front of them.
A child stepped forward and asked bravely, "Who are you? Are you Li'er's father?"
Pei Zheng held the baby in his arms and glanced down at the child. His eyes were indifferent and without any emotion, but the child was still a little scared.
Seeing that Pei Zheng didn't say anything, the other children dared not ask any more questions and they ran away muttering to themselves.
Li'er lay on Pei Zheng's shoulder and saw the child who had pushed him just now. He pouted and waved his little fist at the child.
After everyone had left, Li'er got down from Pei Zheng's arms, and then walked towards her own yard with her short legs without looking back, ignoring Pei Zheng.
Pei Zheng pulled him back, half squatted down and asked him, "What's wrong? Huh? You're ignoring me?"
Li'er turned her face away, her cheeks puffy, and her round eyes looked around, except at Pei Zheng.
"snort!"
Pei Zheng squeezed his little hand and said, "I was delayed by something else yesterday. I didn't mean to not come to see you. Are you angry with me?"
"snort!"
Li Er said aggrievedly, "I, I have been waiting for you for such a long time! Why do you come to play with me so late? I should go home! Humph!"
Pei Zheng hurriedly coaxed her softly, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Li'er, don't be angry anymore. I'll buy you some candied haws, okay?"
"But I don't like candied haws. It's Xiaoer who likes it." Li'er took Pei Zheng's hand again and looked up at him. "Come home with me. We'll go meet Xiaoer. He's very handsome. You'll definitely like him!"
Pei Zheng wanted to say yes with a smile, but after he stood up, he felt the overwhelming dizziness again, followed by a feeling of needles pricking his head.
He was in a coma for the whole day yesterday and only woke up today. He was not supposed to get out of bed, but he still took advantage of the fact that no one was at home and went out to keep the appointment.
During the whole day of being in a coma, he vaguely remembered many things. Those memories had been frozen for four years, and when they suddenly came back to him, he felt very painful, but among the pain, there was also a little sweetness.
"What's wrong with you? Do you have a headache?" Li'er noticed that something was wrong with Pei Zheng and immediately asked worriedly, "Well, then I'll let Xiao'er come and check you out. You'll be fine after he takes a look at you!"
Li Er turned around and was about to run back, but Pei Zheng stopped him, his face pale, and he shook his head, "No need for me to go back, take a rest, eat."
Take some medicine and you'll be fine, don't worry about me."
Li Er nodded obediently, "Then you should go home and rest quickly, lie down on the bed, and cover yourself with a blanket."
Pei Zheng nodded, "Okay."
"You, don't be afraid to go home alone. There are no ghosts in the world. Don't run out to play anymore. It's so dark and there are no children.
"I'm here to play with you"
"good."
"You have to take medicine when you are sick. You won't get better if you don't. You can't refuse to take the medicine because it tastes bitter." Li Er covered her mouth with her hands and whispered.
"Don't pour out the medicine secretly."
Pei Zheng agreed to all of them. "Okay."
Li Er waved at him, "Then go home quickly!"
Pei Zheng smiled, his lips were already bloodless, "You go first, I'll watch you."
"Oh well."
Li'er turned around and ran back home, running straight into the house.
After a while, a little head popped out from the door again. Seeing that Pei Zheng had not left yet, he immediately smiled.
Pei Zheng also smiled at him.
Li'er retracted his head, and after a moment he showed his little head again, but there was no one outside.
Two days later, there were many people in the clinic and a long line formed at the door.
Shen Shijiu was taking everyone's pulse and examining their patients in the cubicle inside, but suddenly there was a loud noise outside the clinic.
It turned out to be the old lady who had come before, and was making a scene at the door.
"It's this clinic. They say there are miracle doctors out there, but they're all liars! My family member took the medicine he prescribed, and he unexpectedly, unexpectedly fell into a coma for several days!"
The old lady pointed at the entrance of the clinic and shouted, attracting passers-by on the street to watch as if they were watching a good show.
When Shen Shijiu came out, he saw Chengfeng looking at the old lady with his arms folded, frowning, looking extremely impatient and helpless. Jiang Yubai was out buying medicine and was not in the clinic now, otherwise he would have quarreled with the old lady.
When the old lady saw Shen Shijiu, she became even angrier and pointed at him unreasonably and shouted, "It's you! You must give me an explanation today! How could a person who was originally alive fall into a coma after taking your medicine!"
Cheng Feng said coldly, "Can you point it out again?"
The old lady was a little scared and put her hands down, but she was still aggressive and insisted on forcing Shen Shijiu to give her an explanation.
Shen Shijiu really didn't know what happened to the patient. "Grandma, how about this? I'll go home with you and see what the patient's condition is. There are many different types of coma, and there's no way to save him. Let me go and see for myself, okay?"
The old lady seemed to hesitate for a moment.
The people around knew the old lady and knew that she was aggressive and sometimes unreasonable, so they all said, "That's right, let the miracle doctor take a look himself. Maybe it's not about the medicine at all!"
"That's right, maybe you are trying to blackmail me!"
The old lady glared at those people and said, "Okay, go and see him. You must cure him for me, otherwise I will definitely destroy your reputation as a miracle doctor!"
The clinic had to close temporarily. Chengfeng accompanied Shen Shijiu and followed the old lady through the winding alleys and arrived at the door of an ordinary family.
The old lady glanced at Chengfeng, and seeing that he was also looking at her, she quickly retracted her gaze.
"You, just come in by yourself." She pointed at Shen Shijiu.
Cheng Feng said, "No."
The old lady was a little anxious. "You have too much bad luck. If you enter my yard, you will definitely attract bad luck. Anyway, you can't come in."
Chengfeng wanted to say something else, but Shen Shijiu quickly stopped him and said softly, "Afeng, it's okay, just wait here for me. If anything goes wrong, I will call you loudly."
Chengfeng glanced at the house and nodded.
Shen Shijiu followed the old lady into the gate. He had never been to anyone's home for outpatient treatment before. He could not help but clutch his sleeves tightly and hugged the doctor tightly.
Mutually.
The further he walked in, the more nervous Shen Shijiu became. For some reason, he felt uneasy and his palms were slightly sweaty.
The structure of this small courtyard is a bit strange. The houses around it block the light, making it look a bit gloomy.
Looking at the old lady again, although she was leading the way in front, she was hunched over and kept looking back from time to time, glancing at Shen Shijiu with the corners of her wrinkled eyes. Her eyes were a little strange, as if she was on guard against something from him.
When they reached the room where the patient was, the old lady went in, but Shen Shijiu stopped at the door.
He looked into the dim room, his breathing became heavy, and his heartbeat quickened involuntarily, as if some force was pushing him, attracting him to go inside, as if there was some huge ** waiting for him inside.
His heart suddenly shrank for no reason, Shen Shijiu covered his chest and frowned.
"Grandma, who is that person inside?"
There was a pause inside, and then the old lady's voice came, "Yes, it's my grandson-in-law."
Shen Shijiu stepped forward and walked in.
But the closer he got to the bed, the more rapid his breathing became, and his heart ached, as if he could empathize with the pain suffered by the **.
I walked to the bedside. It was so dark around me that I couldn't see the man's face clearly, but I knew he must be very pale.
But the medical box in Shen Shijiu's hand fell to the ground in an instant. He stared at the naked man without blinking, letting his vision blur and the tears roll down his cheeks. He was not willing to blink, his eyes were extremely tender and almost greedy.
This is the person he has been thinking about day and night.
Once, he actually thought that they were separated by life and death, but he didn't expect that he would appear here now, in the Northern Territory, and look so weak.
There are so many things I want to say, and so much love and longing to express, but what happened to him? He is not dead, so what did he go through
Whatever it was, it must have been painful, otherwise why would he fall into a coma again after waking up
With trembling fingertips, Shen Shijiu reached out and touched the back of the ** man's hand.
It’s hot, it’s warm!
Shen Shijiu relaxed as if all his strength was gone, but the tears in his eyes just wouldn't stop flowing.
Brother Pei, his Brother Pei, woke up!
Shen Shijiu was enveloped in a huge state of shock and joy. He was crying and laughing at the same time.
Jiang Yubai said that when he was treating Pei Zheng, Pei Zheng's body was colder than that of an ordinary person. Although he had very weak breathing and heartbeat, he could not be said to be a living person.
Moreover, because his heart is damaged and gradually failing, his chances of waking up again are slim, his vital signs are gradually disappearing, and he will eventually fall into a deep sleep forever.
Instead of standing on the edge of a cliff, holding on to a thread of hope that may break at any time, and living in fear of anxiety and despair every day, it is better to cut off this idea from the beginning.
A short pain is always better than a long pain that lasts day and night.
Jiang Yubai was reluctant to let Shen Shijiu, who was pregnant at the time, suffer such sadness and torture, so he disappeared and stayed alone, for that ridiculous hope.
But seeing that Pei Zheng showed no signs of life, Jiang Yubai entrusted Pei Zheng's funeral to others, because he couldn't bear to see Pei Zheng buried with his own eyes, and then came to the Northern Territory alone.
I just don’t know what happened later. Maybe it was God’s blessing that Pei Zheng appeared here!
Unexpectedly, when the old lady saw Shen Shijiu crying and laughing, she was immediately shocked. She and her granddaughter didn't want Pei Zheng to go out because they were afraid that he would be recognized by old friends. He was such an extraordinary person, he would definitely not have anything to do with people like them. Then, it would be even more impossible for her granddaughter to have anything to do with Pei Zheng.
The old lady ordered them to leave, and her granddaughter Xiaowan ran out with her. Before Shen Shijiu could even take Pei Zheng's pulse, he was kicked out of the house by the two of them.
Chengfeng saw tears on Shen Shijiu's face and asked him what happened.
Shen Shijiu grabbed Chengfeng's sleeve tightly, "Ah Feng! Ah Feng! I, I saw Brother Pei! I saw Brother Pei! He is inside! The patient lying inside is Brother Pei! He is not dead, he is not dead!"
When the two men heard this, they hurried to close the door.
But Chengfeng kicked the door open with one foot, and Shen Shijiu stumbled in from behind him and ran straight to the dim room.
Pei Zheng was taken back to the small courtyard behind the clinic by a carriage. He was still unconscious, but not motionless and unresponsive. At least when Shen Shijiu held his hand and talked to him, he frowned.
With Chengfeng here, he took the pair of grandchildren to see the official. Before those evil people filed a complaint first, it would be better to sue them for murder and robbery.
Pei Zheng lay on the bed where Shen Shijiu was sleeping, his face as pale as paper.
Shen Shijiu checked his pulse and found that it was actually very calm. The reason he was unconscious now was probably because the medicine he had been prescribed was too strong and needed time to wear off.
The unconscious Pei Zheng had been holding Shen Shijiu's hand tightly. If Shen Shijiu moved even slightly, he would frown uneasily, and then Shen Shijiu would obediently let him hold his hand without moving.
The door was pushed open, and a childish voice came in and shouted, "Child, it's time to eat!"
Shen Shijiu put his index finger against his lips and made a "hush" sound at him.
"Li'er, please keep your voice down."
The little baby nodded obediently, tiptoed to the bed, and lay on tiptoe to look at the person lying in bed.
He opened his eyes wide in surprise, "I, I recognize him! Son, I, I recognize him! He is the one who sent me home! He also made those kids dare not bully me! I really recognize him!"
After hearing this, Shen Shijiu touched Li'er's hair and asked him seriously, "Who bullied you? Was it the kid from the neighbor's house?"
Li Er pouted and nodded, "They bullied me, saying that I had no father and was a poor little creature."
Shen Shijiu was so distressed that tears came out immediately, "Li'er, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I made you feel wronged. But you don't
There is no father."
He glanced at Pei Zheng, whose eyes were slightly closed, and said, "Your father is back. He has come back to us."
Li'er rolled his eyes, suddenly realized, and asked excitedly, "Is it him! My son, is he my father? Is he? Is he?"
Shen Shijiu curved his eyes and nodded slightly.
Li'er immediately covered her mouth and laughed secretly, then crawled to the bed, lay down beside Pei Zheng, and whispered in his ear, "Daddy, I'm Li'er, please wake up quickly, don't sleep in anymore."
