Who knows that when Li Xiaorou was about to leave after dinner, there was a heavy rainstorm. It seemed that it would be impossible to stop for a while. There was no way I had to stay in her lodging and let her sleep in a small guest room.
Without the success of the seal, both the old Taoist and I felt uneasy, so we decided to continue in the middle of the night.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the ceremony, it was interrupted by Li Xiaorou again, and the reason for her desperate knock on the door was that she heard a strange sound, thinking it was a rat or a thief.
I was made to laugh or cry, because standing at the door did not let her discover what was in the house.
"This girl, it doesn't seem to be that simple!" When I closed the door, I saw the old Taoist priest with a thoughtful expression and whispered in his mouth, as if talking to himself.
"No, I think a pretty normal girl." Scratching my head, I subconsciously defended.
The old Taoist smiled at me and said, "Forget it, there is no way to seal it tonight. Go back and rest."
Shrugging, I had no choice but to return to the room to rest.
By the next day, I understood a little bit what the old Taoist said. Li Xiaorou said in the kitchen that he was helping with breakfast, but was bitten by a snake, and a big red and swollen calf immediately appeared on her calf.
I was so scared that I didn't say anything, so I rushed her to the nearest hospital nearby.
"Doctor, doctor, save someone, she was bitten by a snake!" After getting out of the taxi, I immediately rushed into the emergency room with Li Xiaorou in his arms, looking around anxiously.
A nurse leaned over and pointed to the hospital bed not far away and said, "Quickly, put her there and lie down. I'll call a doctor."
I hurriedly put Li Xiaorou up obediently. At this time, Li Xiaorou's eyes had been closed tightly, and she had passed out in a coma.
Within two minutes, the previous nurse immediately led a doctor wearing a white lab coat and a mask over. The doctor motioned me to step aside before I could speak, and he started to give Li Xiaorou with a stethoscope. Do check.
At this time, Li Xiaorou's calf was already swollen, and it looked scary.
"It's snake venom. Fortunately, it's not that kind of venom. It's not life-threatening for the time being." After checking, the doctor came to a conclusion, then turned to me and said, "You, go and pay the fee first, this kind of snake venom The serum is not cheap. After bringing the list, hand it to her to get the serum from the pharmacy."
As he said, the doctor lifted his chin and pointed at the little nurse next to him.
"Oh, okay, okay, I'll go right away." I was relieved to hear that Li Xiaorou was not in danger for the time being, and hurriedly agreed, and went to pay the fee under the guidance of the nurse.
The hospital is a place I have never liked to come to. The smell of disinfectant is everywhere, the endless white color, where the boundary between life and death always attracts those hidden in the dark.
During the day, the hospital was noisy. It was crowded with people who came to see the doctor. Especially the line in front of the window that pays the fee is even more anxious. After paying the fee, I feel that I am better than someone else. One was still tired, and went back to the clinic with vain steps, and handed the list to the nurse who was waiting.
"The poisonous blood around her wound has been released by the doctor just now after a minor operation. As long as she is injected with the serum, she will wake up soon." Seeing me back, the little nurse immediately told me kindly. I.
Looking at the white bandage on Li Xiaorou's calf, I thanked the little nurse in gratitude: "Okay, thank you so much!"
"Wait, I'll get the serum. You can inject her in a while. Don't worry, the doctor has already told me the amount of injection." The little nurse nodded politely, then comforted me. Go out with the list.
There are a lot of people in the emergency room, I see nurses and doctors coming and going in a hurry, there are
Some of them trot in and out, their busy feet not touching the ground.
To be honest, the profession of nurses and doctors is very tiring, not only physically exhausted, but also emotionally exhausted. More importantly, there are too many negative emotions gathered here. After reading too much, it will have a great impact on people’s spirits. Many people's tempers have also become bad, which is one of the reasons why I can't come to the hospital if I don't.
Fortunately, the attitude of the doctors and nurses in this house is quite good, like an angel in white, looking at Li Xiaorou's peaceful face and obviously a lot of calves that have disappeared, I thought to myself.
"Sir, let me give your girlfriend a serum injection." Suddenly, the little nurse's voice sounded behind me.
I was taken aback. I hurried to the side and pushed it to the end of the bed. Then I remembered and explained: "No, no, you made a mistake, Miss Nurse. She is not my girlfriend, or a friend of mine. I haven't known each other for long."
The little nurse fiddled with syringes and the like, and gave me a grin. "It turned out not to be. At first I saw you holding her and rushing in, we all thought it was your girlfriend. Yeah! See how beautiful this young lady looks!"
"Haha." With a smirk, I don't know how to answer. Do you want me to say that it's because this woman was bitten by a snake in my house, so I'm so nervous because I'm afraid of killing someone
Before I think about a good reason, the nurse here just finished the serum injection, and there was a patient over there immediately calling the little nurse: "Nurse, nurse, the potion is finished, come and have a look!"
The little nurse replied, and turned around and told me: "Wait here. After your friend wakes up for a while, do another check. If there is no problem, you can leave."
"Okay, thank you!" I quickly bowed slightly to thank, and watched the little nurse leave.
At this time, I can take a break. I pulled a chair next to me, leaned on the railing of the bed, closed my eyes and started sleeping. In fact, I was thinking: This is so good, why is it in the kitchen? Suddenly a snake appeared? Still missing after biting someone? This is really the first time I have encountered this kind of thing. After all, the old Taoist priest has the hobby and habit of catching snakes and playing with it. I rarely use the kitchen, and the house decoration is very strict. Where did the snake drill? from? Where did it go
A series of questions lingered in my mind, but I couldn't understand any of them. On the contrary, it almost didn't make my head explode and couldn't sleep anymore. I opened my eyes distraughtly, just to meet a pair of clear eyes.
"What are you thinking? Frowning, is it because of me?" Li Xiaorou lay flat, blinking at me, her face was restless and wronged, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hou, I wanted to thank you for your help. Yes, I have troubled you again. Don't worry, I will pay you back as soon as possible."
"Don't, don't cry, it's not your fault when you say it, who knows how a snake appeared in the kitchen? By the way, do you see that snake clearly?" I looked at Li Xiaorou's eyes She started to flush, for fear that she would cry, and quickly changed the subject.
Speaking of this, Li Xiaorou shuddered immediately, and shook her head as if thinking of something terrible: "No, the snake is too fast. I was frightened again and saw a black tail."
Yeah, what you said is the same as what you didn't say.
In order to divert Li Xiaorou's attention, I raised another question: "By the way, do you want to tell your parents about this? After all, such a big thing has happened, do you want to inform them that they also live in the city? I have something to do, and I have to hurry back!"
I have known Li Xiaorou for so long, and I haven't heard her talk about her parents, nor have I seen her talk to her relatives on the phone, so I was curious and asked.
Unexpectedly, as soon as my voice fell, Li Xiaorou's face sank instantly, and she said coldly: "My life and death have nothing to do with them. If you have something to do, you can go first and leave me alone."
What do I say, how can I go
"What's the matter? Are you having trouble with your parents?" I didn't expect to get such an answer. After thinking about it, I sat back in the chair and asked softly.
"Humph. What's up with you!" Li Xiaorou snorted from her nose, obviously a little angry.
I had no choice but to continue to coax: "Don't say that. We are friends anyway. If there is something difficult to talk to a friend, I feel more comfortable."
Turning over, Li Xiaorou turned her back to me, and her muffled voice came: "I used to have an older sister who passed away when I was very young. I heard from my parents that it was my reason that my sister would leave. Therefore, my parents didn’t like me since I was a child, and when I was an adult, they threw me out of the house and ignored them. Over the years, I have been working outside alone, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will be alone. Yes. That's why I am so grateful to you, thank you for always helping me."
Hearing this, my heart suddenly jumped and sighed, how difficult it is for a girl to live in a strange city.
"Ahem, what are your plans next? The doctor said that you only need to have another checkup in a while and you can leave the hospital without any problems." I coughed embarrassingly and quickly changed the subject.
Li Xiaorou suddenly turned over and looked at me again, with a smile on his face: "Really? I thought I would live for a few days. That's great, and I can save a lot of money!" After a pause, she stretched out one. I gestured, "I will think about it when I come back. When I come back from this trip, I want to go to the supermarket to do shopping guides. There is a commission and it is not too tired, so there is no need for wind and sun!"
The corners of her mouth twitched. I thought she would at least find a promising career. I didn't expect it to be this way. Forget it, for the sake of a friend, let's help this strong girl.
"If it's just a shopping guide, I think I can introduce someone to you. He happens to be in charge of a large supermarket. I shouldn't mind recruiting an extra shopping guide." I thought about it, patted my chest and agreed to the matter.
"Really? Thank you so much. When I pay my salary, I will definitely invite you to dinner." Li Xiaorou sat up happily and took my hand tightly.
My hand was held by a pair of soft, boneless hands, and I was stunned.
"What did the young couple say? Come on, it's your turn to have an examination." At this time, the doctor came over and teased him, calling Li Xiaorou out of bed for an examination.
An hour later, I took Li Xiaorou out of the hospital. At Li Xiaorou's insistence, I stopped a taxi and went directly to the supermarket.
The next thing went smoothly. Li Xiaorou was born beautiful and lively and lovely. So, without any further effort, my friend agreed to let Li Xiaorou come to work tomorrow.
Afterwards, I escorted her back to her rented house and saw her upstairs before returning to her residence.
As soon as I walked in, before I had time to drink, the phone rang.
"Hey, Mom, I'm calling at this time, is there something at home?" I looked at the caller ID, and I immediately pressed the answer button and asked nervously.
My mother's steady voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's okay, three, your boss is no longer young, and the old Wang on the opposite side has his grandson on his head. When will you bring mom a daughter-in-law back?"
"Smelly boy, you must start immediately if you are fancy, don't be persuaded." My dad grabbed the phone and plugged in at this moment.
I rolled my eyes helplessly, I had a MMP in my heart, I don't know if it is inappropriate to say it!
