Chapter 54: The Downpour (4)
After communicating with Wang Liuzhi about the flood defense measures and sending Qingying to Shangyuan City, Yun Moxi came to Shen Ling's room again, and Lu Qianmo heard his footsteps as early as before.
"How's he doing?"
"It's still the same."
Hearing that the other party's mood was not high, he comforted: "With me, he will be fine." When he said this, Yun Moxi was a little surprised, in fact, he knew very well that he was not sure, why would he involuntarily say that word of assurance.
"Thank you."
"You have said thank you many times in the past two days, if you want to thank me, you will thank you after Shen Ling has completely recovered." Because, I'm really not used to you being so polite.
"I really thank you."
"I know. Let me take his pulse first, and there is no need to say more words of thanks. ”
Lu Qianmo tied the silk thread around Shen Ling's wrist, "It's okay." ”
Yun Moxi carefully analyzed Shen Ling's pulse, and after repeated confirmation, his brows furrowed slightly.
Seeing that Yun Mo didn't react for a long time, Lu Qianmo asked, "What's wrong?" Has the situation deteriorated? ”
"I'll improve the prescription again and let someone bring it over."
Although Yun Moxi didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was obvious. Lu Qianmo sighed in her heart, would Ling Er be like this...... No, it will be fine. He is only seven years old, and his life has just begun, how can there be anything, it must be fine, she will not allow it!
"Mother......
This was the first time Shen Ling had spoken since he was sick. Lu Qianmo heard the voice and walked back quickly.
"Ling'er, can you hear your sister talking?"
"Mother, Ling'er is very uncomfortable."
Lu Qianmo found that Shen Ling did not wake up, but began to talk nonsense.
"Ling'er is good, Ling'er must be strong, my sister will not let you have anything to do, Brother Moxi will definitely cure you."
"Mother, Ling'er misses you."
……
Yun Moxi heard the sound in the room clearly, heard Shen Ling's whispering, and heard Lu Qianmo's worry and trust in himself.
The footsteps of the subordinate pulled Yun Moxi's thoughts back, he shouldn't be distracted here at this moment, he still has important things to do, Shen Ling's illness and the possible flood.
In the evening, Wang Liuzhi sent someone to send his son and wife to the courtyard, because Yun Moxi had mentioned before that he didn't want too many people to disturb the courtyard, so Wang Liuzhi only arranged a maid to come and serve.
In addition, Wang Liuzhi sent about 20 people as a short-term worker and brought in a lot of building materials. Although Wang Liuzhi's annex is not large and is a one-story building, there is a two-story right-angled wooden cloister on the northeast side. According to Wang Liuzhi, this corridor was built by his wife in order to overlook the entire Hexiang Town, because this is the highest terrain in the town, so the cloister built is about two stories high and can have a panoramic view of the entire Hexiang Town.
Due to the ventilation of this corridor on all sides, the long-term workers sent by Wang Liuzhi were requested by Yun Moxi to transform the corridor into a shelter from the wind and rain in the shortest possible time, and to strengthen it to prevent it from collapsing due to water accumulation.
Yun Moxi checked the pulse of Wang Liuzhi's son, and determined that he was only infected with wind and cold, just because his body was weak, so it was more serious than normal, and because of the weather, his condition recurred. He prescribed a prescription and asked the maid to give it to him on time, and if nothing else, his condition should improve tomorrow.
Lu Qianmo sent the latest prescription to Shen Ling, although Yun Moxi's reaction just now made her guess that Shen Ling's condition had worsened, but at least he could still drink the medicine, Lu Qianmo continued to build himself psychologically, and he couldn't despair or give up.
The original rescue of Ling'er was out of justice, and she agreed to Dongfang Yi to raise Ling'er because she couldn't bear it, and her life life was similar to Pei Ke's, which inexplicably made her empathize. Now, although I haven't been with Ling Er for a long time, this appearance mark, with a high IQ, a cute and sensible personality, will cry because I am worried about myself, and will sweetly call myself Sister Mo, a little kid who loves meat like myself has won my heart. I really like Ling'er, this child, I really want to love him, and I want to raise him.
Besides, Ling Er was only seven years old, and his life had just begun. Even though God played a 'joke' on him when he was seven years old and took all his family away from him, I believe that Ling Er still wants to live after this incident, even if it is because of hatred. And I know that Ling Er's strong life is not just because of his blood hatred, because there is not only hatred in his eyes.
Since Ling Er wanted to live, she couldn't let him die, she couldn't give up.
"Sister Mo~"
"Ling'er?" Shen Ling's faint voice made Lu Qianmo think that he was hallucinating. But when he turned around, Shen Ling was really awake, which made Lu Qianmo overjoyed. "Ling'er, you're awake, is there anything uncomfortable?"
"Sister Mo, is Ling'er dying?" At the age of seven, he became precocious due to the loss of a loved one, and understood the word death prematurely before his peers.
"Nonsense, I won't let you have anything, and your brother Moxi won't let you have anything to do, you know? We're all waiting for you to get better. ”
"Sister Mo, Ling'er misses her father and mother very much......"
"Well, my sister knows. Your mom and dad miss you too, so they all turn into stars watching you in the sky. But they don't want you to go to them now, but they want you to live well, live a healthy and happy life, and they will always be with you. So, don't you give up knowing? Lu Qianmo didn't know if the other seven-year-old children could understand her words, but she knew that Shen Ling would definitely understand.
"Well, Ling'er understands. Although Ling'er misses her father and mother very much, Ling'er also knows that her father and mother want Ling'er to continue to live, so I will do my best. Moreover, I am reluctant to leave Sister Mo......"
Lu Qianmo's eyes were full of tears, but he tried his best not to let it fall. "Good Ling'er, really good. I can't bear Ling'er, so Sister Mo won't let Ling'er have anything to do. ”
"Sister Mo, Ling'er is tired."
"If you're tired, go to sleep, and Sister Mo will always be with you."
At night, Shen Ling woke up and fell asleep again and again, and slept and woke up again. Yun Moxi still came to the follow-up clinic every half an hour, and changed the prescription twice during the period. Finally, Shen Ling's condition was stabilized and did not continue to deteriorate.
Early the next morning, Yun Moxi came to check Shen Ling's pulse again, and the situation was exactly the same as the previous one. After checking the pulse this time, Yun Moxi said to Lu Qianmo that Shen Ling's condition was stable, and his life should not be in danger for the time being. And he needed to go out for half a day, so he found a doctor in the town, who would let him temporarily take charge of Shen Ling's condition. If Shen Ling's condition deteriorated, he would send someone to the nearby ancestral hall, where someone would know his whereabouts, and he would rush back as soon as possible.
Lu Qianmo was speechless.
"I know what you're worried about, but I have to go. So ......"
There was still no sound coming from inside the door, but Yun Moxi knew that Lu Qianmo was behind the door at this moment.
"Lu Qianmo?"
……
Lu Qianmo still didn't respond, Yun Moxi opened his lips again, "Please believe me, I'm the same as you, I don't want anything to happen to Shen Ling." ”
……
"That's it, that's it, since you don't want to talk, don't talk about it, I'll be back as soon as possible." After that, Yun Moxi waited outside the door for a while, but still didn't get a response, and finally could only leave silently.
In fact, Yun Moxi didn't understand why he wanted Lu Qianmo's understanding, and he didn't want the other party to misunderstand him. I don't understand why I feel a little lost because I didn't get a response from the other party. It's not like my style at all.
Inside the house, Lu Qianmo heard Yun Moxi's departing footsteps, walked back to the bed in despair, and then sat down in front of the bed. She didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment, and Yun Moxi's words made her heart fall short all of a sudden. She was afraid, afraid that if there was any emergency in Ling Er during Yun Moxi's absence, what should she do? Yun Moxi said that he would rush back as soon as possible, but could he guarantee that Ling Er would be able to wait until he came back?
But she couldn't open her mouth to ask the other party to stay, she could have asked for it, she should have asked for it. She could obviously use Yun Moxi's favor and life owed her in exchange for asking him to stay, but she couldn't say a word, did she clearly know in her heart that this kind of favor and life-saving grace between them had their own purposes?
The favor was shoehorned into her by Yun Moxi in order to get close to herself, and the life-saving grace was specially done by herself in order to get close to Yun Moxi. Lu Qianmo's clear understanding of this kind of kindness and affection with interests made her unable to ask the other party. However, at this moment, she regretted it very much, regretting why she didn't open her mouth just now, for the sake of Ling Er's life, how could she not tell which was more important just now?
It's a pity that Yun Moxi is gone. And it is impossible for her to leave Ling Er here alone, and then go and find Yun Moxi back, everyone else is hired by Yun Moxi, it is impossible to listen to her, this kind of helplessness makes Lu Qianmo a little crazy.
At this moment, the stagnant water has already submerged most of Hexiang Town, if it weren't for Yun Moxi's early deployment of defensive measures, I am afraid that the whole town would have been flooded at this moment. The water of the Nanjiang Canal had long exceeded the warning line and did not reach the riverbank, but fortunately, Wang Liuzhi promptly sent people to raise the embankment with sandbags, which temporarily prevented the phenomenon of river water backflowing. But if the rain doesn't stop, then it will be a matter of time before the river backs up, because they don't have enough sandbags to continue to use to raise the embankment.
The ancestral hall in the town was already crowded with people, but everyone was orderly to let the elderly, women and children stay in the innermost shelter from the rain, some of the young and strong men were sent by Wang Liuzhi to prevent floods, and the rest of them also volunteered to defend the 'weak', because these 'weak' also had their families. And at this moment, the people of Hexiang Town, everyone's face is full of heavy emotions. Some of their homes have been destroyed, some are about to be destroyed, and there is a high chance that they will die.
Qingying set off from Hexiang Town to Shangyuan City yesterday afternoon, and should have arrived at this moment at a normal speed. It's just that everyone doesn't know if Qingying's trip will be smooth sailing, and whether there will be any obstacles on the road, and the time will be delayed.
