Chapter 14: Good Morning
Time was just when Yu was staring at the bottle of drip in a daze, and little by little it went to the evening.
The drip rate was adjusted very slowly, even if it was about the same amount as a 200 ml bottle of mineral water, Yu stared at it for hours and still didn't finish it.
Yuyou wanted to speed it up, but he was afraid that it would enter the air too quickly and kill him.
To be honest, she didn't know what would happen after the transfer, so she didn't do it.
She didn't mind trying it out, but she would still feel guilty about losing life to other creatures that weren't cultivated for food because she was just a direct result of curiosity.
If it was intentional, I probably wouldn't think so.
In short, this kind of thing is not something that can be moved around casually, unless there is already an awareness of the worst development.
-
Yu found a push-button call bell in front of Yuzai's hospital bed, which looked like waiting for a dinner table.
So she pressed it.
But nothing happened here except for a small sound.
-
When Yu was packing his luggage, he took out a little of his money from his clothes and put it in his baggage, so as not to find out that there was nothing in it when he got it, but the rest was still in the pocket of his clothes.
She had nothing but some daily necessities and money in her baggage.
But now although she has a lot of money on her, she can't sneak out of the hospital to buy anything at the moment, so she can only hide in the hospital like this, stay with her cheap brother, and wait for him to wake up.
-
Ten minutes after she rang the bell, someone opened the door to the ward from the outside, pushed a small food cart, walked to the other bed, and lowered the small table on the side of the bed, and brought the food to the table little by little, along with the dishes and trays.
"Your brother needs to have a good rest, even if he wakes up, he can't eat anything else for the time being, there is gruel in this thermos cup, if he wakes up, give it to him, if he doesn't wake up, it will be hot tomorrow morning, and it won't be cold if you want to eat at that time."
The nurse's sister said, placing the thermos cup on the bedside table, then twisted a few pieces of candy out of a small box in the dining car, placed them on Yu's palm, and stroked her hair.
“…… Thank you, sister. ”
Yu is a little speechless about the fact that everyone likes to touch children's heads.
The nurse sister then fine-tuned the drip roller and walked away.
But she left the food truck here.
[Maybe you have to put the utensils back after eating, and then ring the bell?] ]
Yu didn't think about the mess anymore, ran into the bathroom, stepped on a stool, washed his hands and face seriously, then kicked off his shoes and climbed onto the hospital bed where the food was placed, sat down at the small table and began to eat.
-
The table is very stable and generally does not tilt or shake by vibrations.
Even if a patient with a bad temper lifts the table, it may not be able to lift it instantly, but can only move it back little by little.
-
After eating a simple but nutritious meal, all in all, there was nothing special in the hospital, Yu packed up the tableware and returned to the dining car, wiped the small table with a paper towel, and went up.
The whole bed shook slightly, but the table was still steady.
It's because the table is stable that the bed will shake, right?
Otherwise, it may collapse directly.
The width of this table top is about 40 centimeters, and the length is about the height of a one-year-old child, and the thickness is ......
Yu left the small table, squatted on the bed and measured it with his fingers.
The length of her entire index finger at the age of five.
Yu twisted his wrist so that his palms were facing up, staring at his hands while doing a palm-closing + stretching motion.
Small, and a little fleshy.
It reminded her of the meaty chicken feet she had eaten before.
She got out of bed and put on her shoes, ran to the bathroom to wash her hands, and then returned to the hospital room and bit her finger.
Didn't force it.
It was like an old man pursing his lips and biting it through his teeth.
Of course, it's not tasty, but it's okay to the touch.
Just as she tried to bite a second time, a small piece of opened bread was suddenly stuffed in her mouth.
"Yes...... Not full? ”
The big sister who delivered the food before wiped the sweat on her forehead and stopped her before squatting down and slowly and completely tearing open the package of the small bread.
"That's it...... Curious......"
Yu felt that he had done such a stupid thing and was still being seen...... It's a shame.
"If you don't find it interesting, you can check out these picture books."
The nurse took out two or three children's books from the mezzanine of the dining car, put them on the hospital bed on the other side, then took off Yu's shoes, picked her up, and sat down with her.
"There's still some time, can I read it to you?"
The nurse sister glanced at the bits and pieces in the distance, turned her head and smiled lightly, picked up a picture book, pushed the table back to the sideways, and read the story to Yu who was sitting in her arms.
“……”
[…………]
Yu's mind is not on picture books at all, and even those children who seem to be a little stupid are in the mood to spit out anything in their hearts.
-
Time passed in the process of reading the story of Nurse Yuhe, who had let her brain empty.
Halfway through the picture book, the nurse sister put the book and Yu'an aside, stretched her waist first, washed her hands, and went to process the last few drops of the picture book and unplug it.
"If there's anything you want, you can keep ringing the bell, I'll come again, don't read too late, rest early-"
The nurse smiled gently at Yu again, put the empty bottle and disposable needles and tubes into the waste bin of the dining car, and pushed them out.
“……”
Yu waved at the nurse sister in a complicated mood, got out of bed and put the picture book next to the pillow of the house, then changed the coat he had worn for several days, turned off the lights, drew the curtains, put on a somewhat thin underwear, spread out the quilt and got in.
The quilt is not thin, but if you compare it with the climate temperature in autumn or spring, it is still a little cold.
Fortunately, there are things in the hospital that I don't know what kind of heating facilities are to keep warm, even if it's winter, it's not so cold.
She put the pillow up and hugged it as she held it.
“……”
[…… It's not the same. ]
…… Well, it's not the same.
It's not the same as the warm embrace I felt a long time ago.
-
It was dawn, Yu got up, and Yu hadn't woken up yet.
After Yu washed up, he went to the bed, rang the bell, and then opened the thermos cup.
The nurse sister was right, even after one night, the big cup of porridge was still very hot.
Yu silently put aside the thermos cup with the lid open, intending to eat it after it became cooler on its own.
-
"Good morning, I'm here again, how was your rest last night?"
The nurse's sister pushed the dining cart into the ward, gently helped Yu lower the table on the bed, put the tray with breakfast on it, and then picked up the ...... that seemed to be for babies After eating the bottle, I poured some drinks that still smelled faintly from the thermos cup, wrung it and held it in front of the hospital bed.
"Sister, I want to try, is that okay?"
Yu grabbed the hem of the nurse's sister's uniform.
"Of course, are you worried about my brother?"
The sister held the bottle in Yu's hand.
The not-so-strong milky flavor is like goat's milk that I used to drink when I was a child, perhaps because I also need to replenish water, and the hot water in the mixed drink seems to be much more.
It's through this transparent bottle that you can faintly see the dilution of the thing on the other side.
Yu picked up the bottle and stood on tiptoe in front of Hiru's hospital bed, opened the second cap on the bottle, and shoved the feeding hose into Hiru's mouth, squeezing it slightly while reaching out and stroking Hiru's throat from top to bottom, so that he could drink smoothly even when he was asleep.
There were no choking accidents in the middle, and she was like a child younger than her, without much conscious energy to replenish her body's needs.
This reminded him of the scene when he used to visit the pasture, holding a bottle to feed the newborn cows and sheep.
It's really quite like that.
"That's fine for now, and if your brother hasn't woken up at noon, just feed him the rest of it."
The nurse sister took the bottle out of Yu's hand, put it on the small bedside table next to her, and touched her hair again.
"Someone will come here in a while, and if you don't think it's interesting to stay in the hospital, you can go out with them."
The nurse smiled gently, walked to the window, tied the curtains, and then opened the window to let the air in the ward slowly change.
The winter in Konoha is not very cold, and there are many people who wear summer clothes as usual during this period.
But this is only the reality of people who are awake, and people who have fallen asleep like Tsuki can't regulate their temperature well.
Most of the bodies of living beings have the ability to adapt to the temperature of the surrounding environment, and when they feel cold, the temperature of their skin tends to become high, and many people with fever are like this.
And sometimes when it feels hot, the palm of the hand will be hot, but the back of the hand will be cooler.
But these situations are all normal circumstances, hot to heat stroke and cold to freeze to death are not counted, because the temperature of these two conditions is much higher than the upper limit that they can adjust, but it will be cold when it is hot, and it will be hot when it is cold, but the divergent body energy cannot supply the amount consumed by the surrounding environment at all, so there will be heat fainting to death or freezing to death.
Yu saw a fine layer of goosebumps on his arm that was placed outside the quilt.
[Anyway, eat first.] ]
Yu touched his arm and felt a little cold.
She found her coat draped over her, washed her hands and returned to the small table on her bed, breaking the handle of the lunch box.
A cute little bun, a small loaf of bread with a small flag for a children's meal, a fried egg in the shape of a star, and some mixed vegetable salad.
She took the thermos cup from before first.
The porridge is still hot, but not as hot.
“…… Delicious. ”
Yu said this to the nurse sister who had not yet left, and then lowered his head and began to destroy the breakfast he had prepared for himself.
[It's quite ordinary and delicious......]
