Chapter 30 30

From then on, the Zhou family never sent anyone to invite Juexin to discuss Hui's matter. From time to time Juexin sent people to Zhou's house to inquire about Hui, and sometimes he went by himself.Completely beyond his expectation, Hui's illness gradually improved.Wang Yunbo's medicine is effective.Therefore, Zhou Botao often boasted of his own foresight in front of people with satisfaction. Hui's illness recovered slowly.But everyone could see that the symptoms of the disease were gradually abating.Later she could get up and sit for two or three hours every day.The old ladies of Zhou were very happy about this matter.Juexin even thought with relief that the crisis that often threatened Hui could be lifted from now on.

But this hope finally came to naught.One morning in late September of the lunar calendar, Mrs. Zhou suddenly sent Zhou Gui to ask Juexin to come over, saying that she had something urgent to discuss with him.Knowing that Hui's illness had taken a turn for the worse, Juexin was very anxious.He immediately took a sedan chair to Zhou's house. Juexin arrived at Zhou's house and saw Guoguang there.After greeting everyone, he sat down.Guoguang then told him that Hui's illness had returned.Hui started to have a fever since the afternoon of the day before yesterday, and she had continuous diarrhea. "She had diarrhea twenty or thirty times a day. Although Zhang Puchen, Luo Jingting, and Wang Yunbo were still invited to see the doctor, they vomited out immediately after taking the medicine. She couldn't take any other food. She was so thin that she was only a layer. My limbs are cold, and I sweat frequently. The Chinese medicine practitioners are helpless. Looking at the situation, there is no other way to think about it except to forcefully invite a Western doctor to see the doctor....I never expected that her illness would turn so fast this time..." Guoguang said in horror.Chen buried her head and wiped her tears beside her.Bo Tao kept his face sullen and didn't express his opinion.Before Juexin could answer, Mrs. Zhou said a few more words in a trembling voice.She begged Juexin to accompany Guoguang to invite medical officer Zhu.Juexin agreed without hesitation.He and Guoguang immediately rushed to Pinganqiao Hospital in a sedan chair.Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Chen went to Zheng's house to see Hui.

When Juexin and Guoguang arrived at the hospital, they heard that Dr. Zhu had been invited to another county.They waited for a while to see Medical Officer Ren, knowing that Medical Officer Zhu could come back tomorrow.However, Medical Officer Ren will go to the province on leave the day after tomorrow.He said that he was very busy today and could not go to the doctor.Later Juexin pleaded anxiously and repeatedly, and he agreed to spare some time to visit Zheng's house in the afternoon. Juexin followed Guoguang to Zheng's house.Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Chen were both there.Bo Tao also came, he just left.Loh moaned softly from time to time on the bed.His face was very ugly.A pair of big eyes looked at the person absently.This is the Hui that Juexin misses day and night.

Standing in front of the bed, Juexin tried his best to hold back tears and grief, and softly called out, "Cousin Hui." His eyes caressed her face tenderly. Loh nodded slightly, her eyes immediately filled with tears.She looked at Juexin as if asking for help, and called weakly: "Big cousin." She wanted to laugh.But as soon as the mouth moved, the flesh on her cheek twitched in pain, and she let out a weak moan.Then she struggled to say a word: "Hello." Juexin buried her head and did not dare to look at Hui's face, did not dare to let Hui see his tears.There was a pain in his heart, as if thousands of needles had pricked it.But he managed to comfort her softly and said, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern. Your illness is nothing to worry about, you should take good care of it." Hui nodded her head.But she frowned again and said irritably, "I feel very sad and have a fever." Juexin raised her head and looked at Hui.Knowing that his tears were rolling down his cheeks, he quickly lowered his head to comfort her and said, "Cousin Hui, please bear with me, Medical Officer Ren will be here soon." Hui was moaning, but when she heard Juexin's words, she closed her mouth.She raised her eyes and looked at Juexin, still wanting to say something.But Guoguang said beside him: "Big cousin, please come and have a seat." Juexin had no choice but to leave the bed.He talked to Guoguang for a few words, then took his leave and left.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, Juexin went from the office to Zheng's house.Doctor Ren has not come yet.The crowd waited anxiously.Guoguang sent his servants to the hospital to urge him. It is said that Medical Officer Ren left around two o'clock in the afternoon. No one can know when he will come here. Loh groaned in pain from time to time.Luo Jingting, Wang Yunbo and Zhang Puchen came here successively.Their medicine still didn't ease her pain.She had just drank the bowl of bitter juice and had to spit it out again.She also hoped that the medical officer Ren would come sooner so that she could sleep peacefully for a while.

The wall clock struck five times, adding to Loh's irritability and everyone's terror.But Doctor Ren suddenly arrived.Juexin and Guoguang politely took him into the room.He examined the patient carefully, and injected the patient with Yibigedong, a special drug for treating dysentery. Afterwards, he told Juexin and Guoguang seriously: This disease is a bit dangerous, because the patient is weak, blood-deficient, and body temperature drops. Fearing that he could not sustain it and might collapse, he asked them to send the patient's stool to the hospital for examination the next morning.

After Juexin sent the medical officer away, he set off to go home.Mrs. Zhou sat with Mrs. Chen for a while, and then went back to Zhou's house. Juexin went home and talked with Mrs. Zhou for a while.Shuhua heard their conversation from the side.She immediately went to tell Qin and Shuying.Qin and Shuying came to Juexin again and asked many questions. Juexin returned to his room after lunch, feeling very uncomfortable being alone.When he thought of Hui's illness, he became even more anxious.He suddenly walked to the front of the bookcase.I took out "Contagion Divination" written by Yu Yunxiu, and opened "Red Dysentery" and read it twice.When he saw that what was said in the book was the same as that of the medical officer, he knew that Hui's condition was indeed serious.This made him even more worried.He was also afraid that Guoguang would not believe in Western medicine, or that he would not take good care of the patients, so he sent someone to send the "Contagion Divination" to Guoguang for reference.He was alone in the room thinking about it, fidgeting.Later, the servant who delivered books to Zheng's house came back and said that Miss Hui's diarrhea had decreased and her vomiting had stopped a little, so he was relieved.That night he had many strange dreams, and there was always Hui's shadow in these dreams.

The next morning, Juexin was about to send someone to Zheng's house to ask a doctor, when Zhou Botao accompanied Zheng Guoguang.From their conversation, he learned that Guoguang had sent Hui's stool to the hospital for examination. According to the medical officer, there were a lot of dysentery bacteria in the stool, and the patient was weak, so it might not be easy to treat, so it was better to send the patient to the hospital. Doctors can check at any time, inject at any time, and may be able to avoid danger.Juexin naturally tried his best to persuade Guoguang to send Hui to the hospital immediately.But Guoguang and Bo Tao were not very willing.

Guoguang also said that Mrs. Zheng would not approve of this approach.Juexin knew that although they came to discuss things with him, they were still stubborn and refused to listen to his advice. He didn't say anything more.He was very angry when he sent them out.He angrily told Zhou that he would not care about this matter anymore. Juexin lived a day of anxiety with fear and fear.But Zheng Guoguang came alone at nine o'clock the next morning.He told Juexin: At present, there is no other way but to send Hui to the hospital, and Chinese medicine has refused to prescribe prescriptions.He also said: "After my pleading, my mother also said, let's treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor and send it to the hospital for a try." Juexin smiled wryly when he heard this, and said nothing.

Later, Guoguang mentioned that Medical Officer Ren had left the provincial capital, and that Medical Officer Zhu came back yesterday, and now Medical Officer Zhu is in charge of the hospital's diagnosis.Juexin readily agreed, and left with Guoguang without delay. When Juexin arrived at Zheng's house, he saw that Hui was getting thinner and weaker. She looked at him and couldn't say a word but just cried. He felt as if many knives were cutting his heart.But he dared not show his feelings in front of people.He only said a few words of comfort.He wished he could send Hui to the hospital a moment earlier.When he arrived at Zheng's house, he thought Mrs. Zheng was ready and told Hui to go to the hospital immediately.However, now that he heard Mrs. Zheng's tone, he knew that Mrs. Zheng planned to go out at two or three o'clock in the afternoon.He was very angry, but he didn't dare to argue with Mrs. Zheng or Guoguang.He couldn't sit here for a few hours, so he went away disgruntled.He made an appointment with Guoguang to meet at the hospital.

Juexin went from Zheng's house to Zhou's house.He told the old ladies of Zhou about what had happened in the past half day.The old ladies of Zhou were very anxious, and Yun actually shed tears.But Zhou Botao seemed indifferent to Hui's condition. He heard Mrs. Chen complaining about Mrs. Zheng, and even defended Mrs. Zheng, saying that Mrs. Zheng had handled it well. Juexin was left at Zhou's house for breakfast.He went to the hospital at two o'clock in the afternoon.It was drizzling, and the Guoguangs hadn't arrived yet.He waited for a long time before he saw Mrs. Zheng, Guoguang, Hui, and Mrs. Yang coming in four sedan chairs in the rain.He accompanied them to see Doctor Zhu. Doctor Zhu gave Hui an injection of "Yibigetong" first, and then checked her body and symptoms. His diagnosis was similar to that of the medical officer, but he regretted that the patient was sent too late, and now it is even more difficult to save her. Difficult. He said that the patient's body is too weak, and the hope of recovery is very small. However, he will try his best to kill the bacteria in the shortest possible time, or save Loh's life. He also said that the fetus is fine, which is good The phenomenon. He signed a letter to let Hui stay in the hospital. Juexin saw that everything was ready in the ward. He took out his watch and saw that it was already past four o'clock.He remembered that the old ladies of Zhou were waiting for him to report the news at home. He was afraid that they might be in a hurry, so he said goodbye and left.Before leaving, he managed to put on a smile and told Hui to take good care of her so that she would not know that her illness was dangerous.Hui nodded tiredly, looking at him with longing eyes, two big teardrops were hanging from the corners of his eyes.Juexin had already turned around, when she suddenly called out "big cousin" in pain.He turned his head quickly, stood in front of the bed, lowered his face, and asked her softly what was the matter. "Mother, are they coming today?" Hui struggled to say this sentence. "I probably won't come today, it's too late," Juexin replied gently.Seeing the disappointed expression on Hui's face, he changed his words and said comfortingly, "Don't worry. I'll go to your house right now. I'll invite them to come and see you." "No, don't invite them. Come tomorrow." It's the same," Loh said with a sob, and she began to gasp again after she finished speaking. Juexin didn't dare to stay any longer, so he had to hold back his grief to bid farewell to Guoguang and Mrs. Zheng, and left the hospital in a sedan chair. Juexin came to Zhou's house again.Zhou has already arrived there.Everyone anxiously waited for him to report the news of Hui.He told all he knew.He also told about Loh's longing to meet his grandmothers and mothers.His account brought tears to everyone's eyes.Only Zhou Botao frowned without any expression of grief. "I'm going to see her now, and I will stay with her even if I die." Chen cried hysterically. "It's too late today, so it's not easy to go. It's the same if we go tomorrow morning. Aunt Yang will accompany her anyway," Bo Tao stopped him from the side. "I won't go to see her. I'm worried tonight. I'm really worried that my own daughter will be taken care of by others. Thinking about it, it's really not worth it." Chen cried resentfully. "I think Hui'er's illness is caused by anger. If she hadn't married into Zheng's family, she wouldn't have had this kind of result," Mrs. Zhou said angrily. "Actually, my wife treated Hui'er very well. Boxiong is still a genius of the present age, and I can only blame Hui'er for his poor fortune," Bo Tao argued displeasedly. "I don't want to listen to your words. Fortunately, you have also studied and worked as an official. You don't understand human relations at all." Mrs. Zhou scolded angrily.She stood up and walked away tremblingly alone. On the morning of the second day after Hui entered the hospital, Juexin and Zhou were worried about Hui's illness, so they sent Yuan Cheng to the hospital to inquire.Yuan Cheng came back to report: Ms. Hui is a little better now, she has not vomited since seven o'clock in the morning, but often complains of "stomach pain", according to the doctor, this is a good sign.They were also a little relieved. Juexin went to the company first after breakfast.He intends to be at the hospital by three o'clock.At around two o'clock, he was sitting in front of the desk and adjusting the abacus, when he suddenly saw Zhou Gui come in with the door curtain lifted, and said dejectedly, "The old lady called me to invite the eldest young master. The young lady will not move after half-birth." This kind of thing? I'll go right away." Juexin said in panic, he immediately put away the account books, walked to the back door of the commercial site, got on his sedan chair, and told the bearer to lift it up and run away. When Juexin arrived at the hospital, he saw Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Zheng gathered in another room to talk.He questioned them.The old lady Zhou said to him with a sad face: "Hui'er had a miscarriage, and it was picked up by the medical officer Zhu. The medical officer said it was dangerous, because Hui'er was too weak and couldn't restrain it, so the miscarriage happened." He took an injection and said it would be after today." "I'll ask medical officer Zhu to see if Cousin Hui's condition will change," Juexin said hastily.He didn't ask any more questions, so he went out to find Doctor Zhu. Medical officer Zhu has gone back to the apartment and will not arrive at the hospital until four o'clock.Juexin couldn't wait, so he immediately took a sedan chair to Dr. Zhu's residence. Medical officer Zhu received Juexin politely, and he told Juexin in his unproficient Chinese: He never expected this kind of thing; the fetus suddenly fell, not to mention that Hui's health was not good or that he was still sick, it was It is difficult for a person who is not sick to give birth like Hui, and it is difficult to save his life; because the heart is weak to the extreme, the heart stops, and the fetus will fall by itself.He added: "I will come to see her six times today: four o'clock, eight o'clock, ten o'clock, twelve o'clock. Tomorrow morning at three o'clock, six o'clock. There is no danger now, I have already called A life-saving injection. Please go back and pay attention to her pulse and breathing rate. I will come back at four o'clock." Juexin returned to the hospital and told the old ladies what Dr. Zhu said.At this time, Hui's condition did not change.She fell asleep in a daze.Everyone watched her with concern, asking her to take medicine every hour. At four o'clock, the medical officer Zhu came.He had seen the patient, and there was no unpleasant color on his face.He told Juexin and Guoguang: At this time, his condition was stable, but his temperature dropped.It is now possible to protect the body temperature by surrounding the patient with hot water bags. He has to go to see a doctor elsewhere, and he won't be able to come back until eight o'clock. After the medical officer Zhu went, Hui's condition was still very stable.Everyone was gradually relieved.After five o'clock, Juexin was about to go home when Hui woke up suddenly.Her complexion became very ugly, her breathing was short, she was unconscious, and her limbs were cold.Everyone was in a hurry and looked at Hui not knowing what to do.Doctor Zhu is not in the hospital, and there are no other doctors here.Zheng Guoguang advocated asking a Chinese doctor to see him temporarily. Wang Yunbo is here.He checked his pulse and said that the condition was very dangerous, so he prescribed a random prescription and told him to mix it with western medicine.But Hui took the medicine, and her condition did not decrease at all.Seeing this situation, Juexin knew that something was wrong, and felt that it was inappropriate to leave Mrs. Yang alone with Hui overnight, so she discussed with the old ladies of Zhou, and Mrs. Chen decided to stay in the hospital.Mrs. Zhou is also willing to stay with Mrs. Chen, and she wants Mrs. Xu to accompany Mrs. Zhou back first.Juexin is also going to spend the night in the hospital. After deciding in this way, Juexin went home first to get his things.When he went to the hospital again, he saw Hui sleeping peacefully, and then he realized that medical officer Zhu had come and gave Hui three life-saving injections, so she was still sleeping soundly.Juexin's heart was a little quieter. About half an hour later, Hui woke up suddenly, and began to pant for breath, all the symptoms of the previous symptoms were fully revealed.Everyone panicked and discussed for a long time, so they asked Juexin to ask medical officer Zhu.Juexin didn't refuse, and went in a hurry. After a while, he accompanied Medical Officer Zhu into the ward. Medical officer Zhu took a look at the patient, then shook his head and said: The dose of medicine is too much, and it only works for a moment, which shows that the medicine is powerless.Guoguang begged him for another injection.He shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, shook his head and said, "There's no way. You can't get another injection now. If you get another injection, you'll die immediately." Guoguang desperately begged the medical officer to do something, and Juexin also asked him to use other medicines cure.The medical officer had no choice but to tell them the usage and efficacy of various cardiotonic agents and stimulants, and said frankly: "There is really no way now. You must give me an injection, just to make the patient die early." The medical officer Zhu went out At that time, Juexin sent him outside the door.Seeing that there was no one else around, he whispered to Juexin: She won't live until one or two o'clock.If you don't want to die in the hospital, it's best to send her home immediately. These two words hit Juexin's head like thunder on a sunny day.He nodded blankly, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.When he returned to his room, he discussed with Chen, Zhou and Guoguang. "I think it must not be moved. If the vibration on the road makes her lose her breath, what should I do?" Mrs. Zhou was the first to express her opinion.Everyone agrees with this view.They had to stand by and wait for death to come.It was half past ten, and the hospital had closed its doors.Loh breathed faintly on the bed.Zhou and Juexin are always mixing medicine.Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Yang sat quietly beside the sick bed to guard the patient, refusing to take their eyes off Hui's bony face.Guoguang sat on the chair and dozed off. It was eleven o'clock, and Hui had just taken the medicine and fell asleep.She had no terrible signs of illness, and seemed to be still sleeping peacefully.Everyone was a little relieved, thinking that they could spend the night safely.Guoguang was still dozing off.Mrs. Zhou has something to go outside.Aunt Yang gently rummaged through the boxes in the corner of the room.Chen Shi and Juexin looked at each other silently.A gust of wind blew outside the window, and the sand was rolled up and danced, which surprised the people in the house.Guoguang opened his eyes and saw that there was no change on the bed, so he lowered his eyelids tiredly.Juexin raised his head to look at Hui.Loh slept there with her eyes closed.His face was whiter than paper, and his lips were withered.The dipping of the cheeks makes the cheekbones appear high.He looked at the face attentively, tears welling up in his eyes.He wondered if this was a dream, he couldn't believe that this face was Loh's beautiful face, he couldn't believe that everything in front of him was real.His tears blurred.He seemed to see that face lifted from the pillow, eyes slightly opened, staring at him for help.He reached out and rubbed his eyes, then fixed his eyes to look again.The face was still on the pillow and hadn't moved a bit.He looked at it attentively again.He felt that Loh was silent. He was surprised, and whispered to Chen Shi in horror: "Auntie, why is Cousin Hui sleeping so silently?" Chen quickly went to the bed and reached out to touch Hui's cheek and hand, completely cold.She called out in panic: "Eldest young master, come quickly, come quickly." "What's the matter? What's the matter?" Guoguang woke up from his dream and exclaimed in a low voice.He also went to the bed.As soon as Mrs. Zhou walked in, she followed everyone and stood in front of the bed.Loh's breathing had stopped.She died quietly.Chen was the first to burst into tears. The crowd cried for a while around the corpse.Juexin stood beside him, tears streaming down his face, but he couldn't cry.His heart ached badly.He hid in the corner of the room for a while, and then he stopped crying and went to the bed and said to Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhou: "Auntie, Mom, don't be sad. It is important to deal with cousin Hui's funeral. Hurry up and take care of Mrs. Yang." Purify cousin Hui. I will go out and send someone to report to Zheng’s residence and uncle.” Seeing that Juexin was about to go out, Guoguang grabbed him by the arm and said with tears in panic, “Big cousin, don’t Let's go. Please help her a little bit. I don't know what to do." Juexin gave Guoguang a disgusted look.The broad square face wavered feebly.He thought contemptuously: "This is the so-called genius." He thought angrily again: "If it wasn't for you, how could she have ended up like this? You have come to cry for her now." But he immediately said all this Buried his feelings in his heart, he replied straightforwardly: "Don't worry. I will try my best to help. I won't leave. I will go out now and send someone to report to your house." After he finished speaking, he threw Guoguang off angrily hand, and strode out of the ward.
