In the middle of the night, she was awakened by a violent cough, and quickly opened her eyes.
It's grandpa. Is grandpa coughing again
But this time it seems to be more serious than before!
Old man Shen was coughing violently, he was out of breath, as if he would lose his breath at any moment. Shen Zhile was also awakened. Seeing that Fu Bao had woken up, he got out of bed first, and then hugged Fu Bao down.
The two children hurried to Old Man Shen's room. Through the dim light, Fu Bao saw Mrs. Shen sitting beside Old Man Shen's bed. His voice trembled because of worry, "Old man, how are you? How about we go to the health center, now!"
"Don't... waste money!" Old man Shen said with difficulty, coughing violently again.
This cough actually coughed up a puddle of blood!
Blood spilled on the light-colored sheets, shocking.
Fu Bao was taken aback. It seemed that Grandpa's illness was already very serious!
Old Mrs. Shen was also frightened, and all the blood on her face disappeared. Although the old man usually coughs frequently, he has never coughed up blood like this before! Even if she doesn't know much about medicine, she knows that coughing up blood is fatal!
Seeing Old Man Shen having difficulty breathing and his pale face, Fu Bao became frightened, and his eyes suddenly turned sour. Although grandpa can't go to the fields on weekdays, he is very good to her. He often tells grandma to cook more delicious food for her, saying that she should not be wronged, but he never thinks about himself.
Fu Bao's eyes became more and more red, she ran over immediately, whimpered and said, "Grandpa, you have to go to the health center, Fu Bao doesn't want you to have something to do, woo..."
"Yes! Old man, I'm going to call for help now and send you to the health center. There's no need to delay any longer!" Mrs. Shen's eyes were also red, she stood up quickly after she finished speaking, pulled Shen Zhile who was also terrified, and walked quickly outside, intending to ask a nearby family for a car.
People in the village are generally poor, and it is impossible to borrow bicycles and motorcycles, only ox carts. It just so happened that Mrs. Hu's house was there, and they were very close, so Mrs. Shen came to his house with her children.
Seeing that it was Shen's family who came to ask for help, Mr. Hu agreed without saying a word, and drove the ox cart to Shen's house, and helped to carry old man Shen out and put him on the ox cart.
Old man Shen seemed to be on the verge of dying at the moment. He was unconscious, had difficulty breathing, and kept coughing up blood. He couldn't even open his eyes, so he could barely open them.
Seeing that the old Chinese tunic suit he was wearing was stained red by the blood he coughed up, Fu Bao cried in fear, "Grandpa, the hospital will be here soon, hold on, grandpa...don't scare Fubao... woo..."
"..." Old man Shen hated her crying the most, and her heart ached when she cried.
His pale lips moved, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word. He could only tremblingly stretch out a hand and hold Fu Bao's little hand. He didn't let go all the way, as if it was his last support!
"Grandpa... Woohoo, grandpa!" Shen Zhile also cried loudly, he didn't expect his grandpa's illness to be so serious!
Old Mrs. Shen had tears in her eyes, she tightly held the other hand of Old Man Shen with both hands, and said with a choked voice, "Old man, do you hold on to me? When I married you before, you promised me that you would live with me for the rest of your life, and you would not leave me alone. You...don't count your words!"
