A week later, Chen Qian and Zheng Jun were both discharged from the hospital and returned to their rental house on Huayuan Road. Their bodies have not fully recovered, at least Zheng Jun is still in pain, the long-term lack of oxygen in the brain has caused his functional areas to suffer great damage, the reaction is very slow, and his memory has begun to decline, according to the doctor, if he is rescued five minutes later, he will be irreversibly damaged, and even if he can save his life, he can only be a vegetative person, so the current situation is already a blessing in misfortune.

In the case of Zheng Jun's body, he still needs to receive systematic treatment in the hospital to help him recover his brain function as soon as possible. But the couple was reluctant to spend all the tens of thousands of dollars they had saved from their part-time jobs, and they had to stay to live, not to mention that there were still old and young people who needed to be taken care of, so they totaled that the cost of hospitalization was too great, so they still prescribed some medicine to come back and take it.

Zheng Jun and Chen Qian are both in their fifties, and there are four old people to support, and there is a son under their knees, who is almost thirty years old. It stands to reason that supporting the elderly is a matter of course, but the sons are so old that they shouldn't have to worry about it anymore. However, their son is disabled, he has had polio since he was a child, let alone earning money to support his family, and even the basic life is difficult to take care of, and he needs the help of the elderly who stay in his hometown to take care of it. Now, the couple's parents are also old and have difficulty taking care of themselves, so they proposed to send their disabled son to the city and let Chen Qian take care of them. Considering the actual situation of their parents, although Chen Qian and Zheng Jun also had hardships, they had already agreed, and planned to take their son after a while, waiting for us to save some money, but they didn't expect such a thing to happen, and they almost lost their lives, and now Zheng Jun's health is also not ideal, so he doesn't dare to let his son come over again.

They sat on their beds at home, facing the empty house, and their mood was very low. In addition to not feeling well, there is another thing that makes them even more uncomfortable, that is, the construction site where they work together has fired them. When she was in the hospital, the foreman of the contractor was sent to visit and brought condolences, which really moved Chen Qian for a while, but the good times did not last long, and she was soon notified that she and her husband needed to recuperate for a long time, so they were temporarily asked to leave their jobs.

From the perspective of the contractor, these two people escaped death, but their physical fitness has not recovered for the time being, and they must be very bad to use, and they have to take risks, in case of another accident, the responsibility will not be clear. But from the perspective of Chen Qian and Zheng Jun, although they were not injured at work, they were just physically damaged, and their spirits were stimulated again.

Chen Qian was very sad, she saw through the warmth and coldness of the people in the city, but she couldn't tell her bitterness, her husband still had to rest in bed, and the heavy responsibilities of the family fell on her as a woman, which really felt heavy. Just sat like this until the middle of the night, Zheng Jun was already asleep, Chen Qian didn't have a trace of sleepiness, suddenly, she seemed to smell a pungent smell, yes, it's the smell of gas!

In view of the lesson last time, Chen Qian is very sensitive to taste, and is always worried about the nightmare appearing again, so she is particularly concerned. She immediately got out of bed, walked to the kitchen, and touched the gas valve underneath, it was closed, there was no fire to cook today, and the gas was not turned on at all. But she was still not at ease, and she was afraid that there was a problem with the pipeline, and after watching it for a long time, she couldn't see the reason with the naked eye.

Chen Qian had no choice but to close the kitchen door so that even if the gas leaked, it would not leak into the room. Turning around, her eyes were fixed on the red-hot stove next to her, the weather was still very cold, and the couple who were reluctant to turn on the air conditioner relied on the stove for the night on weekdays. But Chen Qian remembered again that the reason why the accident happened last time was because the stove released too much carbon monoxide, and the room was not ventilated, and finally a tragedy happened.

But if she didn't light the stove, it was very cold, Chen Qian hesitated, and simply pushed the window of the room open halfway, letting the cold wind blow in outside, so that she was not afraid of the poisonous gas remaining in the house.

Chen Qian thought so, but as soon as the window opened, the cold wind was biting, and the temperature in the whole room dropped rapidly, and people couldn't hold on to it at all. Zheng Jun was immediately woken up by freezing, he complained that he finally slept and was disturbed by the wind, and his attitude towards Chen Qian was very bad. Chen Qian is used to all this, since he woke up from a fainting death, his mental condition has been very bad, and now when he goes home, he is sometimes crazy and screaming, sometimes delirious, and sometimes he throws things and even beats people.

Zheng Jun's anger frightened Chen Qian and quickly closed the window again, and her husband continued to sleep, but in this way, Chen Qian was even more afraid to sleep. Her eyes, staring directly at the stove, as if she could see the carbon monoxide coming out of it, involuntarily covered her nose with her hands.

Even so, she was still very uneasy, as if she could still smell the gas, in fact, the kitchen was closed, and even if there was a kiss inside, she couldn't smell it. And the gas emitted by the stove, even if it is filled with carbon monoxide, people can't smell it, and this is completely psychological.

Chen Qian dozed off, but whenever she decided to sleep, another voice would ring in her head, reminding her that there was poisonous gas in the house, and she had to wake up quickly, otherwise it would be over. In this way, the repeated process made Chen Qian fall into a collapse, unable to sleep well, and really unable to persevere.

In the end, Chen Qian couldn't stand it anymore, so she simply went to extinguish the stove again, and then got into the bed, relying on her body temperature to warm each other with her husband, trying to barely survive the difficult second half of the night for the time being. However, Zheng Jun is very sensitive to changes in temperature, and not long after, Chen Qian, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by Zheng Jun's noise, and her husband was very irritable and shivering from the cold, but he also exposed his arms outside and kept waving. Chen Qian felt that in the quilt, she could actually make do, but Zheng Jun's reaction made her helpless, so she had to try her best to appease, and dragged Zheng Jun's arm back into the quilt with all her strength. She knew that her husband was not cold, but that he could not be stimulated by any kind, and once he noticed something that made his body uncomfortable, Zheng Jun would naturally react similarly, which was also the situation that he had been accompanying since he woke up from the carbon monoxide poisoning incident, and even the doctor had no good way but to calm it with medicine.
