Chapter 243 Township Secretary Xie Qinfeng
Cui Jiani frowned, her eyes full of worry and anxiety. She gripped the steering wheel of the black Volkswagen tightly with both hands, her knuckles turning slightly white due to the force.
Luo Jinxi almost pressed his face against the car window, his eyes wide open, not missing any corner where Jiang Chengyu might appear.
The car was driving slowly along the roads where Jiang Chengyu might have walked. They didn't know how many times they had turned around, checking every street and every intersection, but they still didn't see him.
The afterglow of the setting sun was like a blazing sword of fire, piercing through the car window glass and piercing into the two people's bodies, making them feel more and more exhausted.
The long search and high tension made the feeling of hunger even stronger. Luo Jinxi's stomach kept growling, and the sound was particularly abrupt in the quiet car, as if protesting to the owner.
She slumped in her seat with a tired look on her face, her eyes still searching aimlessly outside the car window, and she couldn't help mumbling:
"Jiang Chengyu, where on earth have you been? If I find you, I'll skin you alive first. Wouldn't it be better for you to stay in the hospital? You have to run out like this, starving and cold. It's really annoying."
At this moment, the sudden ringing of a cell phone broke the somewhat dull atmosphere in the car.
Luo Jinxi was like a startled rabbit. She hurriedly took out her cell phone and saw that the caller ID was Mu Xiaoji. She quickly answered the call and said, "Hello..."
Mu Xiaoji's trembling voice came from the other end of the phone, asking, "Have you found him?"
"No! You two have been together for so long, do you know where he would go?" Luo Jinxi asked anxiously.
Mu Xiaoji fell silent for a moment, and countless images flashed through his mind in an instant; Jiang Chengyu followed him and came here to save him without fear of the pain of his soul and body being separated.
He had no relatives here, and he didn't really miss any of the little things he had spent with Jiang Chengyu. At this moment, it was like a needle dropped into the ocean, with no clue where to go.
Luo Jinxi didn't hear a response for a long time, and couldn't help but raise his voice: "Hey, Mu Xiaoji, are you listening?"
"Yes." Mu Xiaoji's voice sounded somewhat lonely, as if it came from a distant place.
Luo Jinxi continued to ask: "Where will he go?"
"There's nowhere to go." Mu Xiaoji replied. As soon as he finished speaking, his little heart seemed to be pinched hard by an invisible big hand.
The words left on the big rock by the sea in Kuncheng appear in my mind like clear pictures: The world is vast, the mountains and rivers are vast, but there is no place for me to live; I have no one to rely on in this life, so where can I rely on?
That was what Jiang Chengyu had left when he was in extreme pain. He left the words and disappeared for two years. Mu Xiaoji was tortured physically and mentally for two years. This sentence was like a curse, and it was the deepest fear in his heart.
Thinking about it now, I feel very distressed because Mu Xiaoji is afraid that history will repeat itself and I will not have a chance to find him.
Luo Jinxi asked softly: "Mu Xiaoji, are you okay?"
Mu Xiaoji said in a voice so weak that it was almost inaudible, "I'm fine." After that, he hung up the phone in a hurry. He didn't want Luo Jinxi to hear the trembling in his voice.
On the other side, Xiao Huo cleverly drove the jeep slowly into the military hospital. As soon as the car stopped, he quickly jumped out of the car, walked quickly to the back seat and opened the door.
He looked at the unconscious Jiang Chengyu and Professor Cao, and said with great insight: "Professor Cao, carry him on your back."
Professor Cao carefully supported Jiang Chengyu and said, "Xiao Huo, be careful; send him to the dormitory next to my office."
"Okay, professor." Xiao Huo carried Jiang Chengyu on his back, and Professor Cao supported him from the side. They hurried into the building and went straight to the dormitory next to the office.
Professor Cao rushed to the dormitory door, took out the key from his pocket and opened the door. Xiao Huo walked a few steps to the bed and gently put Jiang Chengyu down. The movement was so gentle that it seemed like putting down an extremely precious and fragile treasure.
Cao Guohua quickly took out a thick quilt from the cupboard and gently covered Jiang Chengyu with it, then ordered: "Xiao Huo, go get some hot water and help him wash up."
"Okay!" Xiao Huo turned around and left the dormitory quickly.
Professor Cao walked quickly into his office, opened the cabinet, searched carefully inside, took out a brand new infusion tube and antipyretic liquid, and carefully mixed the nutrient solution.
After everything was ready, he returned to the ward with these things, picked up Jiang Chengyu's arm skillfully, carefully found a suitable blood vessel on that strong and veiny arm, and gave the injection and infusion in one go. His skilled movements showed his many years of medical experience.
After a while, Xiao Huo came in with a basin of steaming water. He placed the basin on the stool beside the bed, took a towel, and began to wipe Jiang Chengyu's face and hands simply and carefully.
His movements were very gentle, as if he was treating his own family. After wiping his face and hands, he gently lifted Jiang Chengyu's feet and carefully washed them, cleaning the dust and stains on his feet bit by bit.
Professor Cao brought medical scissors and iodine. He looked at the shocking blood blisters on Jiang Chengyu's feet and frowned in pain.
He first carefully pricked the blood blister with scissors, and then gently disinfected it with iodine. He performed each step extremely carefully and cleaned the wound simply, hoping to relieve Jiang Chengyu's pain.
Professor Cao carefully placed Jiang Chengyu in a safe position and adjusted the pillow for him to make sure he could lie more comfortably. He then carefully checked the IV tube before looking up and telling Xiao Huo, "Watch him here. If anything happens, come to me immediately. I'll go to the hospital in front to see the injured."
Little Huo nodded smartly, showing a confident smile, and patted his chest and said, "Okay, leave him to me, you can go ahead and do your work, I will take good care of him."
Cao Guohua walked out of the dormitory and came to the corridor. His steps were fast but steady, and every step was carried out with a sense of mission.
He walked straight to the lobby of the military hospital, where the wounded were being treated and it was also the place he was most concerned about.
As soon as he walked into the front ward area, the sound of painful groans one after another came into his ears. The sound was like sharp needles, piercing Cao Guohua's heart.
He quickened his pace and walked into a ward. What caught his eye were the wounded lying on the beds. The scene made him frown instantly.
Some of the wounded had their heads wrapped in thick bandages, blood could be faintly seen seeping out, and the white color of the bandages was particularly glaring;
Some had their legs in plaster casts, hanging high up, their legs were severely swollen, and their skin was purple due to bruises;
Some of the wounded had injuries to their arms and legs, and looked weak and helpless.
The injuries of these wounded soldiers varied, but without exception they were all very serious. Their bloody appearance made Cao Guohua heartbroken. A trace of reluctance and determination flashed in his eyes. He knew that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
At this moment, a young doctor walked in from outside. His face was a little solemn. When he saw Cao Guohua, he seemed to have seen a savior.
He hurriedly said, "Professor Cao, you are back. There is a special person with a special situation. He was injured in the house collapse accident. The initial examination found that his ribs were fractured in many places.
We have already performed bone restoration treatment, but subsequent imaging examinations revealed that one of the broken bone fragments was in a very tricky location, in a sensitive area inside the chest cavity close to the heart and large blood vessels.
If surgery is performed now to remove the tumor, any carelessness during the operation may damage these important organs and blood vessels, causing severe consequences such as heavy bleeding or cardiac arrest.
But if it is not removed, the bone fragment may move with the patient's body movements, further scratching the surrounding tissue and even risk causing infection.
We are in a dilemma now. Should we wait for Professor Luo to come back and discuss the case together before making a decision? After all, this case is too complicated. "
Cao Guohua frowned tightly, forming a deep "chuan" character between his eyebrows. He said solemnly: "Liao Jiancheng, show me this special medical record."
Liao Jiancheng quickly responded, "Okay, Professor Cao, please come this way." After that, he quickly walked out of the ward, and Cao Guohua followed closely behind him.
The two men walked through the long corridor towards the injured meeting room, each step carrying a sense of urgency.
Walking into the conference room, the medical staff inside were busy discussing various cases.
Liao Jiancheng immediately spotted Nurse Ma who was sorting documents in the corner. He raised his voice and shouted, "Nurse Ma, show Professor Cao the medical records and films of that special patient."
"Okay." Nurse Ma responded. She put down the documents in her hand and walked quickly to the cabinet by the wall.
Her eyes quickly scanned the rows of folders in the cabinet, and soon found the target. She quickly took out the medical records and films, then walked towards Professor Cao, with a polite smile on her face, and said, "Professor Cao."
Cao Guohua took the medical records and films, walked into the light of the conference room, and began to look through the medical records with a focused expression, carefully checking every examination data and record.
When he picked up the film and looked at it carefully under the light, his brows furrowed even more tightly, his eyes revealed deep worry, and he murmured:
"This problem is not as simple as you said. The location of the broken bone is too tricky. The surrounding blood vessels and nerves are intricate and close to important organs. If there is any mistake, the consequences will be disastrous. I'm afraid that the operation cannot be started!"
Liao Jiancheng said anxiously, "What should we do? He is not an ordinary person. He is the newly appointed township secretary Xie Qinfeng, who was sent to Xiaoyang Village by the provincial party secretary to be in charge of the major project of drilling tunnels!
This tunnel collapse accident has already caused a great sensation and resulted in so many casualties. If anything happens to him again, the impact will be particularly great.
The entire project could come to a standstill, and public opinion would overwhelm us.”
Liao Jiancheng's voice was trembling slightly. He knew very well that the seriousness of this case was not only in the medical aspect, but also involved social impact.
