8. Brave children are also afraid of needles(1/2)

The raindrops fell along the eaves, causing high splashes of water.

The heat accumulated all day long has been washed away without a trace, and the wind blowing in from outside the door brings a chill.

Best for a good night's sleep.

But in the middle of the night, Liao Chu was suddenly awakened by the sound of vomiting in the opposite room.

When he rushed in, he saw Guoguo looking pale and lying next to the bed vomiting.

Seeing him come in, the little girl blinked and tears fell down.

"Uuuu, uncle..."

Before he finished speaking, he vomited again.

There was a buzz in Liao Chu's head, and he didn't care much. He quickly grabbed his ID and mobile phone, hugged her and rushed down.

When I walked to the counter, I grabbed a handful of paper bags.

The child was obviously very uncomfortable, but he didn't cry or fuss. He just looked at him pitifully with a pale face:

"Uncle, am I going to die?"

Liao Chu quickly tied her into the safety seat, "Don't talk nonsense!"

The child hummed weakly before opening his mouth to say something, but he spat it out again with a whoosh.

Just a few times upstairs, I had already vomited all my dinner and even the undigested bits of lunch, and now all I vomited was yellow water.

what happened?

Why did you suddenly become ill?

"Don't be afraid, uncle will take you to the hospital right now. You'll be fine soon, you'll be fine soon..."

When Liao Chu touched the steering wheel, he realized that there was already a layer of cold and sticky sweat on his palms.

Even with these words, I don’t know if I am comforting the child or myself.

The road from the shop to the hospital seemed extremely long that night. Liao Chu even felt that the red lights in the middle were against him.

Looking in the rearview mirror, Guoguo's face has lost all color...

Always abiding by the law, he ran a red light for the first time and rushed all the way to the hospital emergency room.

The little girl had no strength left, her hair was wet with cold sweat and stuck to her pale cheeks.

She half-closed her eyes and huddled in the safety seat like a pitiful day lily. When Liao Chu picked her up, she cried and apologized, "I'm sorry, Guoguo soiled the chair."

Liao Chu's heart felt as if someone had pinched it hard. It was sore and painful, and he was so suffocated that he couldn't breathe.

After entering the emergency room, I looked up:

Why are there so many people in the hospital in the early morning?

A nurse noticed the young man running in with a child in his arms and came to help, "What's wrong with the child?"

Liao Chu almost didn't know how he got here in the past few minutes.

He was like a walking zombie, mechanically and nervously following the nurse to register and fill out forms for consultation.

"Acute gastroenteritis, maybe a little heat stroke," the doctor quickly wrote the medical records, and glanced at Liao Chu from above the lens. He found that his face was no better than the little patient in his arms, and comforted him, "The test results

It's all quite normal, don't worry too much, just put some water on it and it'll be fine. Children with weak spleen and stomach are a common sudden disease in summer."

Gastroenteritis?

"Is it something wrong with the food? I just gave her cold noodles today."

The doctor paused while writing the medical record, "Cold noodles? How cold?"

Liao Chu recalled carefully, "The kind that's not hot."

He didn't dare to give the little girl anything that was too cold. He just poured cold water over it, and when he got it, the heat inside had already come out again.

The doctor smiled and said, "That's okay. It's been hot and stuffy these past few days, and adults can't eat hot meals. The main reason is because the little girl's digestive function is not very good. It's hot and rainy recently, and she has a bit of heat stroke. It's cold and uncomfortable tonight.

After getting cold, the mixture of hot and cold comes back all at once.

Eat something light and easy to digest in the next few days, and nothing greasy within 24 hours.

In addition, there has been a lot of rain recently and the temperature difference is large, so be careful not to give your children a cold stomach."

After hearing the diagnosis, Liao Chu felt his body temperature and consciousness gradually return.

He had taken care of many children in the orphanage, many of whom had been sick, but he had never been as panicked as he was now.

Perhaps, this is the power of blood connection.

The number of emergency room visits at night in pediatric hospitals is unimaginable.

Liao Chu held the child and went to pay the fee first, then inquired all the way to the infusion hall.

In just one short trip, he saw all the joys and sorrows of life.

This is a maternal and child health hospital, where both mothers who are about to have a new baby and children who are seriously ill and have died are treated here...

Ecstasy, despair;

Joy, sadness...the two extreme emotions are intertwined with each other, like a thick cloud.

After receiving so many high-concentration emotions at once, Liao Chu felt suffocated for a moment.

But out of professional habit, he instinctively collected many emotional fruits.

The dark despair and the pure white new life are clearly defined in the palm of your hand, but there seems to be some connection between them, like the two poles of yin and yang.

So shocking.

He decided to brew a special wine, the name of which is: Born to Die...

Compared with the number of patients, the space in the infusion hall is not particularly large, and when a child is sick, it often affects the hearts of four or five parents, and at least two people must accompany him.

Many elderly people couldn't bear it, so they had to occupy a few seats to rest.

From time to time, radio broadcasts remind unnecessary parents to leave as soon as possible, but with little effect.

Liao Chu turned his head and looked around several times, and found that all the positions were occupied, so he simply continued to hold him.

In just a short while, the little girl vomited again.

Before the infusion, Liao Chu didn't know what else to do to ease the other person's pain, so he had to pat her back gently over and over again.

I don’t know how long it took, but a nurse called out: “No. 38, No. 38, where is Liao Guo?”

Liao Chu immediately raised his arms, "Here!"

The nurse came over with an intravenous drip bottle, first scanned the barcode on the little girl's wrist, and then checked with Liao Chu again to confirm that her identity was correct before saying: "Come on, get ready for an intravenous drip. Where do you want to be?"

I heard an aunt next to me say: "We have the last bottle left, hang it here!"

You don’t have to count on seats; even the IV stand has to be shared by several people.

Liao Chu thanked her and carried the little girl over.

The nurse quickly attached the rubber band to the little girl, disinfected it, patted the blood vessels, and prepared for the injection.

The child trembled and instinctively shrank into Liao Chu's arms.

She couldn't cry, she cried silently and retched, looking extremely pitiful.

Liao Chu rubbed her head with his chin, "Don't be afraid, it'll be fine if it hurts for a while, it's okay."

Guo Guo sniffed and snorted, holding her other little hand tightly around Liao Chu's neck.

Guoguo is a brave child.

The nurse's movements were very quick, and the blood returned immediately after the injection. She was a little surprised when she saw this, "This child is so good, he doesn't cry or make trouble."

Nowadays, most children are extremely pampered and will cry and howl at the slightest disturbance. She has not seen such well-behaved children in some days.

Liao Chu said nothing.

Most children act based on instinct. The reason why they are well-behaved is because they understand that even if they cry and act like a spoiled child, no one will come to comfort and love them...

As a child, he had envied countless children outside the orphanage who could cry loudly and unscrupulously.

Through the fence, he saw those peers being indulged by their parents, crying and making trouble...

He didn't have such a childhood.

As for Guoguo, there was none before.

The nurse quickly took notes and said without raising her head: "At about the same time, someone will come over to change the dressing, but parents themselves had better pay attention..."

After all, there are too many people.

She had probably been working for too long, her voice was hoarse, and her face showed obvious fatigue.

Liao Chu asked how long a bottle of medicine would take, and immediately took out his cell phone to set an alarm clock.

Then he said to the little girl: "We can go back after finishing this, and we will make delicious food for you when we get back."

The little girl responded weakly.
To be continued...
