Chapter 16: Dehydration
Chen Qiong knows why she doesn't like to eat mutton, because others eat mutton for enjoyment, and she suffers for eating it.
Probably because she has been uncomfortable with the water and soil since she came here, her stomach and nerves are also sensitive, and she can't accept the taste of mutton, so the symptoms have worsened a lot, and after returning to the dormitory that night, she vomited bitterly, vomited everything she ate clean, and vomited until the end of the whole person was retching.
In the middle of the night, she had a stomach again, stayed in the toilet for more than an hour before coming out, and lay on the bed for not long, the sky also brightened up, she immediately got up and went to the toilet, and when she washed her hands, she saw herself in the mirror who was so white that she looked like a ghost, and sighed without tears.
If Zhang Xiaomao saw it, she might not just ask with concern, but would have to invite the Eighteen Arhats to collect her.
Chen Qiong washed up briefly, and the dead horse was a live horse doctor who took a few more tablets of gastrointestinal medicine, and it was rare to put on a light makeup after coming here.
For a week, Chen Qiong was no different when she was an assistant with the old man during the day, but she had a stomach upset at night, and she almost collapsed every night, and almost fell to the ground after going to the toilet several times.
Chen Qiong slumped on the bed softly, and let out a long breath, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning, she was sleepy and tired, but every time she felt sleepy, she would be awakened by the pain in her stomach, and then she had to run to the toilet as fast as possible.
Because He Baihe was not in Dunhuang today, she didn't have to follow her to the cave, and the burden in her heart was less, and she fell asleep listening to the sound of fireworks downstairs at dawn.
Today, not only is the old man not there, but also Guanji.
After the report was handed over, the Cultural Relics Bureau soon sent several experts from relevant aspects to Dunhuang to do value verification, and after a few days, they all agreed that the murals on the bottom floor of the west wall of Cave 496 have a certain historical research value, but some experts believe that the murals are not harmful at present, and the preservation is relatively complete, and there is no need to uncover, and some experts think that they can be uncovered together, so as to carefully examine and study the protruding part of the mural, and make better protection for it.
The opinions of the expert group were different, and the Cultural Relics Bureau decided to hold a discussion meeting to listen to the situation of the mural, such as sampling to observe whether the structure of the mural will damage the overall sense and value of the mural, how much sample area will be taken, and what the specific plan is.
Originally, Guan Ji and Wang Liang were going to go to the Cultural Relics Bureau together, but Wang Liang felt that his ability in this area was not as good as Guan Ji, but it was better than the apprentice, and he couldn't help if he didn't know the bottom of his heart.
Yesterday at noon, we set off from Dunhuang to Lanzhou.
Chen Qiong slept until seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and after relieving herself, she turned over lazily on the bed, her whole body was sore and weak, and her head also had a faint pain, and she struggled to get up and eat something and lay down weakly.
Because Guan Ji and He Baihe have not come back from Lanzhou, she also lay in the dormitory for two or three days, to be precise, lying down after having a stomach, the daily nutritional supply is some snacks brought from Beijing, and Zhang Xiaomao also asked on WeChat why she didn't see her.
When she saw Zhang Xiaomao's WeChat, she only had one feeling, that is, no one would find out if she died.
On the third day, Chen Qiong's dizziness and headache became more and more serious, and the weakness of her limbs also made her feel panicked.
It should be said that it is dragged with support.
After the hospital examination, it was said that she was dehydrated due to excessive water loss due to diarrhea and vomiting, and needed intravenous fluids.
"Go back quickly." Chen Qiong took the milk and bread that Zhang Xiaomao bought for herself, and looked at the time in the hospital corridor, "Otherwise, the shuttle bus back to Mogao Grottoes will be gone." ”
Zhang Xiaomao also looked at the time, there was not much time left before the last train back to Mogao Grottoes, he rubbed his hands a little crampedly: "Teacher Chen, can you be alone?" ”
Chen Qiong inserted the straw into the milk carton and nodded, feeling a little funny: "This is a hospital, and it's not a wilderness, I'm fine, I can only have a single infusion, I've delayed you for a few hours today, it's troublesome." ”
"Then if there is anything wrong with Mr. Chen, remember to call or send me WeChat." Zhang Xiaomao was afraid of his master, and finally he was able to enter the research institute to study, and this time the master only gave him a few hours of leave, or he was soft-hearted and tolerant when he heard that Chen Qiong was sick and needed someone to send him to the hospital.
Chen Qiong was afraid that Zhang Xiaomao would be worried, so she nodded solemnly, and by the way, she reached out and handed over the milk with a straw in her hand, half-jokingly: "Your great kindness, my sister will definitely repay it in the future." ”
"Haha, then I wrote it down again, sister, you are here to have a good infusion, I'll go first." Zhang Xiaomao's expression was full of the naughtiness of a big boy, so he just took out a small notebook to memorize, shouted to his sister, and took the milk without any twisting, and after aggravating the previous words, he drank milk through a straw all the way downstairs.
Chen Qiong spread out her hair tied up with a silk scarf, adjusted her sitting posture, and she fell asleep in a daze not long before the symptoms of physical discomfort disappeared, but the swollen back of her hand made her wake up at eleven o'clock at night.
The nurse on duty at night said that the temperature dropped at night, which caused the blood to circulate, so she kindly took her own blanket to cover her, and put a hot water bottle under her hand to relieve the edema.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Chen Qiong, who was bored and scrolling through Weibo, clicked on the screen with one hand, it was a video call that came in, but she chose voice answering, frowned a little unhappily when she spoke, and lowered her voice, "It's past eleven o'clock, my cousin just told me before, you have been in poor health for the past few months, and you lied to me." ”
Seeing that his past video call was rejected, Chen Jishan, who wanted to see his daughter, wanted to say something, but when he heard Chen Qiong's words, he could only pretend to be pitiful: "You kid is really, don't be in a hurry to criticize me first, it's your aunt and your cousin who said that they couldn't contact you all day, let me quickly look for you, don't have anything wrong, you flip through your phone to see how many missed calls there are." ”
Chen Qiong shrunk the WeChat call page and flipped through the phone, showing that there were a lot of missed calls, because she had a bad headache last night, and the noisy prompt sound of the mobile phone made her more painful, so she made it into silent mode.
"Little lady, you're fine, right?"
I guessed it right at once.
Others are mother-daughter hearts, but to her this is father-daughter hearts.
Chen Qiong wanted to raise her hand and rub her temples, but the hand of the infusion would hurt more when she moved, so she could only give up, ease her emotions, and deliberately laughed in order to comfort the old man's worries: "I am a young man, what can happen to my body, but Dad, you have to pay attention to your body, if you are uncomfortable, let your cousin send you to the hospital, you don't have to care about the favor, I will pay it back." ”
After getting busy with work, Chen Qiong could only ask her cousin in Suzhou to help her look at home from time to time.
She also remembered the favors that should be repaid in the future.
"Your cousin and sister-in-law also said that if I feel uncomfortable, call them." Chen Jishan laughed, "Don't worry, I'm doing well, you're outside the area where I should be worried." ”
Chen Qiong froze, bit her mouth, and the last sentence made her cry at once, as if her tenacity has reached a certain expansion point, as long as a little warmth will make all emotions explode, there is no doubt that from childhood to adulthood, her father will always be her warmth and harbor.
The unstoppable tears made her eyes blur, she ignored the swelling and pain, raised her hand to wipe her tears, and didn't dare to cry out to make Chen Jishan worried, so she just sniffed and said what she had been thinking about for the past few days: "Dad, I'm going back to Suzhou." ”
"Okay, if you're busy with things in Dunhuang, you can go back to Suzhou to have a look." Chen Jishan didn't doubt it, "It just so happened that your grandmother was talking about you, I remember that you have to stay there for four months, and when you come back at that time, your favorite chestnut can also be eaten." ”
Chen Qiong said vaguely: "I don't want to stay in Dunhuang anymore." ”
Chen Jishan didn't speak, and a sigh came after a long time: "Is it because of your mother?" ”
didn't get Chen Qiong's answer, Chen Jishan thought it was a tacit acquiescence, moved with affection, and persuaded with reason: "You are already troublesome to others when you go to the research institute, what will people think if you suddenly want to leave?" And what will Beijing Head Xu think of you? People in their twenties, and they are not little girls who don't know the world, they should think about the consequences when doing things, and they should start and finish well, you have always understood things earlier than your peers, and many truths are usually understood without your father. ”
Immediately afterwards, Chen Jishan asked intimately: "Didn't you go over there to collect the style for the next dance drama to be performed, you love dancing and this career so much, why don't you want to stay?" ”
"You still call me a little girl, why am I not a little girl." Chen Qiong smiled without showing emotion, not wanting Chen Jishan to worry, so she revealed it in a few words, "I know, I will think about this matter again, Dad, you should also go to sleep quickly, and take care of your body more." ”
Hung up the phone, Chen Qiong curled up, curled up in a small ball on the chair, folded her hands on her knees, buried her whole head in it, and didn't feel like crying, the reason why she wanted to leave here didn't even know what it was, there was only one reason for her to stay, but there were too many reasons to leave here, maybe because she didn't have much interest in everything here, she didn't know the taste of food, and it didn't make much sense to continue to stay, maybe it was because she had been unaccustomed to the water and soil.
She can endure any degree of external pain on her body, but she can't endure the mental pain of not being able to adapt to the soil.
It was none other than Ling Chi's execution.
Chen Qiong raised her head, held her mobile phone horizontally and watched her dancing video, and she didn't feel sleepy until dawn, and wiped her tears in the middle because of the hand that was moving the infusion in front of her, which caused edema of the running needle, and called the nurse on duty to come over and help re-prick the needle.
"Chen Qiong, your family has come to see you." The nurse's desk opened was a new nurse, who had just arrived and finished the shift with the one on duty last night, who was full of energy and spoke loudly, which made people happy to listen.
Chen Qiong, who had not slept all night, just closed her eyes and was about to sleep for a while, she was so tired that she didn't want to move anymore, she didn't have any movements and words to respond to the nurse's words, she could only find a reason for herself to open her eyes, such as to see who this family member who suddenly appeared was.
As soon as Chen Qiong opened her eyes, she saw the person who had already stood in front of her.
She blinked, a man, a dusty man.
It is a shut-in.
