Chapter 33 Yellow leaves falling in the autumn wind (17)

This year's first cold snap hit the vast and boundless Loess Plateau from Siberia through the Mu Us Desert. The wind immediately became cold.The dark green sweet potato leaves in the field were black and wilted by the cold wind and frost, and they were lifeless. The peasants who came out of the mountains in the morning had already put on their cotton-padded jackets.The sun sometimes disappears, the weather is sunny and cloudy.Gao Guanghou and Lu Ruoqin were busy lighting fires in each classroom.In order for the children to go home early, extracurricular activities in the afternoon were also cancelled.

At night, Bingbing coughed a little.Gao Guanghou didn't care, he undressed the child and let him get under the covers.He lit the lamp on the table, ready to devote himself to a job that was more intense than the daytime as usual. After Bingbing lay down, his cough became more and more intense.Only then did Gao Guanghou realize that the child was ill.He hurriedly found some cold medicine in the drawer, poured a glass of water, wrapped the child in a quilt, and asked him to sit up and take the medicine. Bingbing cried for a long time, just swallowed the medicine, coughed, and vomited it all up with a "wow".Then, he coughed intermittently and spit out all the food.

Gao Guanghou panicked, threw aside the spitting quilt, and hurriedly dressed Bingbing.He touched the child's head with his hand, and it was as hot as coals! Bingbing was coughing non-stop, his small body convulsed into a ball in pain, and he was crying and swearing at the same time. Gao Guanghou was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, not knowing what to do.There is no medicine at home.It's so late, where can I go to see a doctor for my child? Bingbing's cough became more and more serious, and there was hardly a minute or two in between, and each cough could not stop for a long time.

The child gasped into a ball in Gao Guanghou's arms! Seeing his son sick like this, Gao Guanghou was almost in a state of confusion.He cursed that the damn sickness just happened in the middle of the night!If it was during the day, he could immediately arrange the school affairs and run to the city with Bingbing in his arms.Now he is holding the child in his arms, and he keeps telling him cute things-even he himself doesn't know what he is muttering!Lu Ruoqin broke through the door!She walked up to the rock on the kang, touched the child's forehead with her hand, and shouted anxiously to Gao Guanghou: "The child has been burnt to such a state, what are you doing sitting here! Hurry up and hug him in the city!" Gao Guanghou woke up suddenly, and felt some strength in his body, so he quickly put Bingbing down and jumped off the kang.After jumping down, he didn't know what to do, he grabbed here and then there, grabbed this one, and lost that one!

Lu Ruoqin told him to calm down, and pointed out what he should take and what not to take.After she finished speaking, she ran back to her cave. She came running again in no time.Taking one of her short cotton coats, she wrapped Bing Bing up.She stuffed the child into Gao Guanghou's arms, and snatched the bag from him.The two hurried out the door, and the cold wind howled and hit them head-on, making it difficult for the two nocturnal people to walk. In addition, it was dark, and they stumbled and staggered on the simple road from time to time. Bingbing coughed, groaned, and cursed (actually cursing and coughing) in Gao Guanghou's arms.Gao Guanghou whispered his son's name from time to time, spreading his long legs and running.

Lu Ruoqin chased after him with a bag of things. When he was about to reach the city, Gao Guanghou tripped over a stone and threw all the Bingbing in his arms aside!Bingbing yelled in horror, then cried and coughed and panted.Gao Guanghou got up in a flash, beat his head hard with his fist, and quickly groped to pick up his son.Lu Ruoqin ran forward, snatched the child from Gao Guanghou's hand, and said, "Let me hug you for a while! You are so tired!" Lu Ruoqin herself was so tired that she staggered around, but she was still running with Bingbing in her arms. Gao Guanghou sprained his ankle and ran behind with a limp.He heard Lu Ruoqin in front of him screaming "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" in the throat, making a sound almost like vomiting.Tears welled up in his mouth along with sweat, bitter and salty.

When they got to the bridge beside the city, Lu Ruoqin was so tired that she leaned against the railing of the bridge.Gao Guanghou rushed up and took Bingbing from her arms. Lu Ruoqin seemed to be going into shock—her strength had been used to the limit.Under the dim light of the street lamp at the head of the bridge, Gao Guanghou saw that there was no blood on her face.She closed her eyes and opened her mouth, like a fish resting on the beach. She couldn't even speak for a while, but waved her hand weakly to let him go first.Bingbing kept coughing, panting and moaning in Gao Guanghou's arms.

The child has also exhausted his calf-like energy, and now he is lying softly in his arms... until Lu Ruoqin struggled to stand up again, they slowed down a little and entered the silence The county seat, across the street, walked to the county hospital located in Nanguan.
