Chapter 21 Isolation Wards
The light rain began at four or five o'clock in the morning and continued to rain all day.
Zheng Qing leaned on the hospital bed, looking at the blurred scenery outside the window, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the stone slab, his eyes were half-closed and half-open, and his spirit was hazy.
This environment has dulled his thinking a bit – of course, this sluggishness may also be due to drugs.
He couldn't even remember what day of the week it was.
Because of the accident of the wild demon last night, before the patrol mission was completed, he and Lin Guo were stuffed into the school hospital by the professors. The school doctors on the night shift were also like enemies, opening a separate isolation room for the two young wizards, and confiscating all the belongings of the two freshmen in strict accordance with the rigid dogma.
Including Zheng Qing's gray cloth bag, black donkey hooves, and Lin Guo's small schoolbag, as well as all the clothes of the two.
It is said that these items will be sent to a professional laboratory and subjected to a series of safe treatments according to the relevant desensitization rules.
The black goat didn't follow him into the hospital with him, but Thomas said it would be quarantined for a while by the school staff in case anything unexpected happened.
Zheng Qing leaned softly on the cushion behind him, dumbfounded, motionless, like a patient with advanced Alzheimer's disease, his mouth was half open, and a trace of transparent saliva slowly drooped from the corner of his mouth.
It's not that he's too lazy to move, it's that he can't move now.
In order to prevent him from being attacked by demonic energy, the doctor on duty last night unceremoniously fed him all the preventive medicines, as long as they did not conflict in terms of medicinal properties.
So until now, his muscles have been a little soft, and he can't lift the slightest strength.
A little elf in a white coat fluttered its wings and landed on the shoulders of the young scholarship student, and then raised the towel in his hand to help him wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
This made the young public student die of shame and indignation.
Thankfully, no one saw it.
He couldn't help but express his highest respect and sincerest greetings to the wizard who set the quarantine policy in his heart.
"Click!"
The lock on the door of the isolation ward is unscrewed.
Several wizards in wide white robes walked in.
The elves who were in charge of caring for the sick cheered and rushed to the hospital bed, lifted the young public scholarship student, and straightened his body.
Zheng Qingyu rolled his eyes, trying to see the figure in front of him.
"Don't bother!" a familiar voice rang in his ears, "Your eyes now look like chameleons under the zombie spell......"
The person who spoke was Mrs. Bella, the head nurse of the school hospital.
In Zheng Qing's impression, this lady has always been unsmiling and very strict, and she didn't expect her to complain.
At the same time, he felt a cold glass be stuffed into his mouth: "Drink it!"
The sweet liquid flowed down the mouth of the glass and into Zheng Qing's mouth.
The elves held up their towels and kept wiping the spilled liquid.
"Don't be in a hurry, you should be able to regain some mobility in a minute. Lady Bella's voice floated toward the other corner of the ward.
Zheng Qing remembered that Lin Guo's hospital bed was in that location.
When Dr. Ma came to the bedside to review Zheng Qing, the young public-funded student could already use his two arms to support his upper body and do some simple activities.
This exhilarated him, and he couldn't help but writhe from side to side on the hospital bed.
"Anfendian, you haven't been discharged from the hospital yet...... Lady Bella looked at the young public scholarship student with a straight face, "If it weren't for your robe, I would definitely not suspect that you are a freshman of the Star Academy." I came to the hospital for three days and lay down...... I've never seen a student who doesn't care about his body so much!"
Zheng Qing laughed dryly twice and leaned obediently on the hospital bed.
"Disasters are inevitable...... Some people just have more luck. Doctor Ma glared at his pair of blistered eyes, pulled his voice, and said weakly: "Lying in the hospital, thinking about it is not his intention." ”
Zheng Qing smacked his lips, not knowing whether he should agree with Dr. Ma's explanation.
But he soon lost his right to speak.
Doctor Ma took out a flat, transparent stone from the medicine box and stuffed it into Zheng Qing's mouth.
"Bite...... Clench. He commanded, then twisted the measuring instrument next to him, and kept recording the data on it in his notebook.
While writing, he babbled and advised:
"Recently, I have been paying attention to a light diet...... Eating too greasy can easily cause the turbidity in the body to rise, and the demon qi is easy to develop and grow under the stimulation of turbidity. ”
"Of course, because you didn't actually kill that demon, the demonic energy attack was minimal...... But this does not mean that you can eat unscrupulously, there is always a benefit to eating lightly when you are sick or not. ”
"Also, be careful not to overuse your right eye...... Now there is only some bruises in it, which should melt away soon. If you don't pay attention, tired eyes can lead to certain unpredictable complications. ”
Zheng Qing whined in his throat.
Dr. Ma nodded repeatedly, indicating his understanding: "Yes, yes...... Most people think this way...... Since magic is omnipotent, why not use magic to remove the blood from your eyes and dissolve the demonic energy in your body?"
Zheng Qing nodded repeatedly.
Doctor Ma changed the notepad in his arms to an arm, raised the brush in his left hand, and emphasized, "This is the difference between a real healer and an ordinary wizard." ”
"We don't always recommend using magic to treat such lesions that involve the more delicate parts of our bodies...... The human body is a very delicate structure with little redundancy...... Magic, on the other hand, represents great uncertainty. ”
"Any use of magic to heal human injuries is an act of blindness and without the concept of a healer. ”
"So I suggest you wait quietly for the bruise to dissipate. ”
Zheng Qing bit the transparent stone, his Adam's apple moved, and he swallowed deeply.
When all the review work was over, Zheng Qing couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and threw out a question that had been brewing all day.
"What are the after-effects of hunting demons, and why are we being put in isolation wards?"
He always felt that other people were making a fuss.
Or, something else didn't let him know.
"You don't know?" Dr. Ma looked a little surprised, but quickly realized, "Oh, I almost forgot, you're a freshman...... Few first-year students consider these questions...... To put it simply, wizards hunting demons will be attacked by demonic energy, so they need to regularly clean up the poison in their bodies...... If left untreated, these demonic auras will accumulate over time, and these demonic spirits will cause the wizard to metamorphose into a lich. ”
What a creepy answer.
Zheng Qing thought of those scarlet eyes and those greedy aura, and couldn't help but shudder.
"But...... There are so many wizards who hunt demons, every time they kill the wild demons, they will ...... like this" Zheng Qing stretched out his hand and compared his encounter with Lin Guo, his face full of helplessness: "Will you do it all over again?" ”
"Of course not. Doctor Ma sniffled and raised his eyelids slightly: "The wild demons killed at the school hunting meeting are all mature demons, and the school has been 'disinfected' many times before putting them into the hunting ground. As for the demons outside the school......"
Speaking of this, he paused and explained in a mocking tone: "Do you think that the wizards who can hunt demons outside will be comparable to those of you who have been enrolled for less than half a year? ”
Zheng Qing sighed deeply, and his shoulders collapsed.
The doctor's words were a bit harsh, but the truth was clear.
In the final analysis, it's because I'm a rookie.
"Can you help me bring two books," Zheng Qing finally asked before several white-robed people left: "Lying in bed all day, I feel like the whole person has become stupid......"
"It's too bad, it's already stupid ......," the little nurse next to her let out a string of silver bell-like laughter.
Even Lady Bella couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
Zheng Qing rolled his eyes pitifully.
"There's no need for that. Unexpectedly, Dr. Ma rejected Zheng Qing's request, he raised his wrist, looked at the time, and explained, "After half past six, your quarantine will be lifted...... But you can't be discharged from the hospital until all the effects are gone. ”
"Of course, after the quarantine is lifted, we will accept some requests from family members and friends of the patients...... According to the applications received now......" said the head nurse next to him, flipped through the folder at hand, and shook his head: "You should be prepared to be watched." ”
"By the time the visitors left, it should have been time for the lights to go out in the ward. The little nurse lost no time in complaining: "In other words, even if you are given two books, you don't have time to read ......."
"Then when will we be discharged from the hospital?" Zheng Qing couldn't help but ask.
"Tomorrow morning. Doctor Ma said, with a certain evil expression on his face, which made his long horse face look particularly hateful: "Don't worry, the hospital will not delay your first class on Monday...... This is a practice that is accountable to each student. ”
