Chapter 37: The Scourge (II)
He jumped out of bed, took his coat, pulled on his shoes, and ran out the door in desperation. Thinking of the appearance of those mice after being bitten by Xiaoqing, and thinking of the scene on the north mountain, after the person surnamed Qian was poisoned by snakes, I only thought in my heart: I was bitten by Xiaoqing, and I must rush to the hospital as soon as possible.
When I came out of the building, I don't know when it was snowing, and a thin layer had accumulated on the ground.
The community where he lives is relatively remote, and it is late at night, and there is no taxi nearby, but fortunately, the distance between a hospital and this community is not too far, only two or three miles away, so he immediately ran in the direction of that hospital.
He has no first aid experience, and he doesn't know that after being hit by snake venom in the road, the more he runs, the faster the attack will be, and he is anxious, just a vigorous run, while running, his heart beats and his ears are hot, and he is even more afraid, thinking: It must be a snake venom attack, if I can't feel the hospital in time, I will die of poisoning like the surname Qian.
The more anxious he was, the faster he ran, and it took him just over a few minutes to get to the hospital.
The hospital was working day and night, and the doors of the hall were open. He didn't bother to catch his breath, so he went straight in and went to the lobby of the hospital.
Glancing into the hall, the nurse on duty at the guide desk was napping, he gasped and asked urgently, "Nurse, I was bitten by a poisonous snake, which department do I want to go to?"
The nurse didn't open her eyes, so she replied indifferently, "Third floor, hematology department." ”
In fact, in a situation like his, it is best to go to the emergency department, but he didn't ask carefully, the nurse was napping, and the answer was naturally not clear.
He lived in poverty, he had never had a serious illness, and he either suffered from minor illnesses, or bought some medicine in the pharmacy by himself, so he was not familiar with the process of the hospital, and after listening to the nurse's words, without thinking, he ran to the third floor.
Follow the stairs up to the third floor and follow the door number to find the hematology. The doctor on duty in the hematology department was a chubby man in his thirties with glasses, looking down at the medical records.
When Xu Mo saw this doctor, his heart suddenly relaxed, he broke into the door, and said hurriedly: "Doctor, I was bitten by a poisonous snake, please show me." The finger stretched out and passed it to the doctor.
The doctor looked up at him and asked, "Are you registered?"
Xu Mo was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he had forgotten to register, and hurriedly said: "I was bitten by a poisonous snake, I'm afraid it will attack in a while, you help me take a look first, and I will go to register immediately when I turn around." ”
The doctor waved his hand and only said, "Go and register first." ”
Xu Mo didn't react to what was going on, and said earnestly again: "I'm afraid I won't be able to last that time, doctor, please help me see if it's okay first, I'll go to register immediately." ”
The doctor turned his head away, looked down at the medical record again, and ignored him.
Xu Mo was panicked and scared, and said again: "I'm sorry for you, doctor." Hold out your finger again.
The doctor suddenly slammed the table and shouted unhappily: "Don't you have long ears?
Xu Mo was angry in his heart and wanted to get angry, but he had to forcibly hold back and asked anxiously, "Where is the registration?"
The doctor replied impatiently, "First floor." He ignored him again.
Xu Mo had no choice but to come down from the third floor and run back to the first floor, as soon as he returned to the hall, he saw a security guard standing nearby, so he hurriedly asked, "Master, where is the registration?"
The security guard gave him a point. Xu Mo hurriedly didn't forget to say thank you, and then rushed to the registration window.
Since it was late at night, there was no queue in front of the registration counter. Xu Mo walked quickly to the window, and when he saw someone inside, he said loudly: "Register." ”
The one on duty at the window was a young male nurse, who was sitting in his seat writing something with a pen, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words, and asked coldly, "What department?"
Xu Mo hurriedly replied: "Hematology." ”
"Five!" said the young nurse, then held out his hand to the window.
Xu Mo stretched out his hand to take out the money, and as soon as he touched his trouser pocket, his face changed color, and he hurriedly ran out, forgetting to bring his wallet.
After he was bitten by Xiaoqing, he was panicked and confused, shocked and scared, only knowing that if Lu Dao was not treated in time, he would be poisoned and die, where could he still think of these details?
At this time, in the face of this result, I was instantly frightened, and I thought to myself: Where is it too late to go back at this time? I'm afraid that I will die of poison while I am still on the way.
Raise your head and look out the window. The male nurse had already withdrawn his hand when he saw that he had not handed over the money for a long time.
Xu Mo had no confidence in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "I forgot to bring my wallet, can you help me register first?" I will return the money immediately when I turn around. ”
The male nurse didn't respond, as if she hadn't heard.
Xu Mo then said, "Can you lend me five yuan first?" I'll pay you back in a while." He was hard-hearted, and he was never good at begging, but his words were hard, but his tone was almost pleading.
He really doesn't know much about the process of the hospital, and at this time he only thinks about registration, but he doesn't know how to do it, even if he registers, he has to pay the money first, and the hospital will treat him.
The male nurse ignored him.
Xu Mo didn't want to say more, thinking of the tragic situation after the death of the surnamed Qian, his heart was cold, and he said loudly: "I have been poisoned by snakes, and if I don't heal it, I will die soon." ”
The male nurse looked indifferent, did not blink his eyes, picked up the pen, and wrote on the paper again.
When the people nearby heard his voice, they all turned their heads to watch, Xu Mo glanced over one by one, and these people immediately turned their heads when they touched his gaze.
When Xu Mo saw this scene, his expression became extremely discouraged in an instant, and he wanted to beg bitterly, but he didn't know which one he wanted to beg. Moreover, what little pride he had left sustained him, so that he could not utter the words of supplication to others no matter what.
He was sad in his heart, he wanted to scold, but he had no strength, he wanted to resent, and he didn't know who to complain about. After the last day, he gritted his teeth and quickly made up his mind: I will go back and get the money, and I will die of poison on the way, and I will never pray to others.
I didn't think about it anymore and ran in the direction of home. He was anxious, unsteady on his feet, and when he ran to the steps of the hall door, he tripped and fell to the ground, and fell forward.
This fell very badly, and the limbs landed on the ground first, only to feel that the whole body seemed to fall apart, and the numbness and pain were extreme.
He struggled to get up, but he inadvertently glanced at his bitten finger, and couldn't help but let out a 'huh' and scream.
He was bitten by Xiaoqing on the middle finger of his right hand, Xiaoqing's teeth were finely broken, and one bite left two extremely small wounds on his right middle finger.
At this time, with the light of the street lamps in the hospital and the snow in the sky, I saw that the two extremely small wounds on my fingers had actually scabbed and healed during this period of time.
He slowly got up from the ground and pressed his thumb lightly on the scabbed wound, but there was nothing unusual except for a slight pain.
He suddenly felt that something was wrong, it stands to reason that after being bitten by a poisonous snake, the wound should be blackened and numb, and then spread to other parts of his body, but at this time, his feeling was not like that at all.
Strange, he pressed the scabbed wound, and the wound opened again, and the blood flowed out, and he returned to the hall and leaned into the light to take a closer look, and the blood was also red.
"Could it be—" He suddenly felt happy in his heart, and couldn't help but guess: "I'm not poisoned?" Although Xiaoqing feeds on the poisonous sacs of other poisonous insects, he is not poisonous?"
His guess was not entirely correct, although Xiaoqing fed on the venom glands of other poisonous insects, after eating, it was secreted through snake saliva. For a period of time, it has been feeding on colored poison powder, and what it secretes is dream powder.
That dream powder is also a kind of poison, but the toxicity is a hallucinogenic effect, and it naturally does not cause him any harm.
It was also after he was bitten that he was so flustered that he lost his bearings, otherwise, if he looked closely, nothing like the one just now would have happened.
He knew that he had nothing to do, so he was relieved, quickly settled down, and secretly rejoiced. Immediately made up his mind, he went home.
At this moment, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded in front of him, and the whole earth seemed to shake. Xu Mo was taken aback and almost fell to the ground again.
I couldn't help but look up, the fire flashed in the distance, and half of the sky seemed to be lit up, like day, and in the white light, there was black smoke billowing out, and a strong pungent stench quickly spread over.
He took a closer look in the direction of the firelight, and a strong feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart, which was the direction where he rented a house.
When the people in the hospital hall heard the movement, they all ran out and watched in that direction.
Xu Mo thought of Xiaoqing, worried about its safety, didn't dare to stay, and quickly ran back. Along the way, many people put on their clothes and came out of their homes, or looked in that direction, or rushed in that direction.
The sound of police cars and fire trucks rang out, quickly overtaking him and gathering in that direction.
Seeing this scene, Xu Mo's heart became more and more anxious, as he ran, the closer he got to his residence, the greater the firelight, the thicker the black smoke, and the stronger the pungent stench.
He returned to the rented community, and in the square outside the community, he saw a large group of people gathered at the intersection from a distance, and the police set up barricades to block the group of people from the outside, unable to approach.
He approached, squeezed into the crowd, stood on tiptoe, and looked inside, where several fire trucks were parked and countless firefighters were busy putting out the fire.
And the house he rented, which was on fire, had long since turned into rubble. Not surprisingly, the place where the explosion occurred just now was the house he rented.
He was furious, shouted "Xiaoqing", and then fainted.
