222. Sister
She's not that kind person and will take home someone who is dying when she sees her.
Even most of the time, she walked away from trouble, because she knew that she was just an ordinary person, neither a reformer nor a transcendent, and it was better not to get into a little trouble.
But.
Without thinking about it further, the woman gently avoided Xu Zhi's wound, frowned and returned to the room to find a bottle of ointment in the locked drawer, this is the "life-saving medicine" of the scavengers, a more versatile trauma plaster, the black doctor in the plain area will prescribe this, the price is not too expensive, mainly practical, of course, this "not too expensive" is for ordinary people.
For them scavengers, even such a plaster can be regarded as "golden".
She doesn't usually use it much, because she is very cautious and rarely gets hurt, but almost all of this small half bottle of plaster is used on Xu Zhi's body at this time.
After wiping the medicine and putting on the girl's own clothes, she put her on the bed and covered the quilt, the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Xu Zhi's pale lips and abnormal flushing on her face, she raised her hand and touched Xu Zhi's forehead, sure enough, it was hot.
This is not good news, the wounds on her body are simply terrifying, it is hard to imagine that the girl who has been injured so badly is still alive, but at this moment she has a high fever.
This high fever is almost like it is here to ask for your life.
But she didn't have fever reducers at home.
After thinking about it, the woman could only silently take a basin of cold water soaked towel, wring it out and putting it on Xu Zhi's forehead, the cool breath seemed to make the girl who was in a high fever feel better, and the frowning brows that had been frowning were slightly loosened.
Then she took half a glass of water and fed it to the unconscious girl little by little, but fortunately, even in a coma, the basic swallowing function was still there, and she seemed to be very thirsty, and she took the initiative to swallow it as soon as she came into contact with the water.
The desire to survive is still there, which makes the woman breathe a sigh of relief.
Xu Zhi put the towel back on her forehead to make sure that there would be no one around her for the time being, and the woman left the bed and walked to the locked cabinet.
There wasn't much in it, the ointment had been used up, and there was no need to put it in anymore, and in addition, there were some "garbage" she had picked up that she could exchange for money.
The woman took out an iron skewer hidden in the corner and pried open the mezzanine of the cabinet, there was a blue cloth bag inside, took it out and opened it, it was the money she had saved for a long time.
She looked back at Xu Zhi lying on the bed, gritted her teeth, and took out the cloth bag.
I don't know if the money is enough
"Buckle up."
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
The woman's movements paused, quickly restored the drawer, put the cloth bag into the closet, looked at Xu Zhi, and then went to speak.
She knew who would knock on the door at this point, but she didn't open the door directly, but asked, "Who?" ”
"Sister Yanxin, it's me, Xiao Ran."
A young female voice sounded, and the woman opened the door, and it was the daughter of the neighbor's family, Ye Ran, standing outside the door.
"Sister Yanxin, I saw that the lights in your house were on, why did you come back so early today, did you encounter something?"
There are doubts and worries in the girl's eyes, the woman in front of her saved her life last year, so her family always takes care of her after that, tonight I know that she went to the garbage dump, but she came back quickly, worried that something had happened, so she came to ask.
The woman hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes, I found my sister and just brought her back." ”
This is actually a lie, she doesn't know the girl she brought back, but, if she can survive, she needs a reasonable identity.
"Huh?!"
The girl was a little surprised, and then showed a happy expression: "That's great! Sister Yanxin, you've been looking for your sister for so long, and you've finally found it! ”
In fact, there are also doubts, how can it be so coincidental, but the emotions of doubts are not as many as surprises, not to mention, it is too bad to ask these now.
"But she's had some injuries, and I haven't been able to go to work for the last two days, so I may need to take time off work to take her to the doctor."
In addition to picking up garbage at night, they will also work in the industrial area to earn a stable living allowance by doing some black work in the industrial area during the day.
"Okay, I'll ask my dad to take a leave of absence."
The girl's father has a small position in the black factory, and he can usually do a convenient job, so the surrounding scavengers are quite polite to his family and Qi Yan, who is sheltered by his family.
"Is Sister Yanxin's money enough? Going to the doctor is precious. ”
In the slums of the Plains, the most expensive thing is to see a doctor.
"I've saved some."
"Okay, if it's not enough, remember to tell us, Sister Yanxin's sister is also my sister!" The girl patted her chest.
The woman smiled when she heard this: "She's older than you, you should probably call her sister." ”
"Huh?" The girl's tone was a little disappointed, but she cheered up again: "Okay, that sister Yanxin's sister is also my sister!" ”
"It's not early, you go home first, I don't have anything to do here." Qi Yanxin smiled at her, and the girl also said goodbye in a very measured manner.
The girl's back quickly disappeared into the drizzle, there were few lights in the slums, and there were almost no public facilities, and the light at night was all due to the leaks from the nearby industrial area, which was very faint, and the red light that represented danger mixed with the blue light of indifference penetrated the cracks in the slum from time to time, like the light of the human world entering the sewers.
Qi Yanxin's expression also looked a little depressed in the flickering cold light, and the conversation with the girl reminded her of her sister.
It's not that she didn't find it, but when she found it, her sister was already dead.
Just like the scene when I saw Xu Zhi today, my sister died on a garbage heap, but the difference is that Xu Zhi is still breathing, and my sister has not even breathed at that time.
She didn't even have time to take her sister out of the garbage mountain, the huge garbage removal machine had swallowed the garbage mountain, she was thrown out because she was a living person, and her sister's bones were completely melted away.
Since then, she has been investigating this matter, but she has no clue, she has no power, no power, no ability, almost predictable, probably a lifetime of poverty, it is difficult to find out the "truth", many times, Qi Yanxin feels that she is about to hold on, she is even a little at a loss What is she doing, what's the point?
The moment she saw Xu Zhi on the garbage mountain tonight, she seemed to have returned to that night again, and it was also like this with a light rain, and her sister fell on the garbage mountain with a pale face.
The difference is that the girl still breathes.
Like the guidance of fate, she didn't hesitate for too long and saved Xu Zhi.
Because of a moment of compassion, she brought Xu Zhi back, but since she had already made a decision, she would not regret it.
She'll find a way to save her.
Closing the door and returning to the room, the woman first poured half a cup of warm water before entering the room, when she looked at the head of the bed, but the hairstyle, so badly injured and with a high fever, it stands to reason that the girl who had been in a coma for at least a few days was a little difficult to open her eyes at the moment, looking in her direction with a blank face.
