Chapter 004: Suffocating the Hero to Death

Zhang Hongliang poured another cup of boiling water for Xin Yu and let it dry. He turned around and was about to ask Liu Xinyu what she wanted to eat, but Liu Xinyu had already closed her eyes, and there seemed to be crystal tears in the corners of her eyes. She couldn't help but sigh slightly.

At sixteen, she is still just a little girl.

I don't know if Liu Xinyu fell asleep or not. Zhang Hongliang stood in front of the hospital bed and stood stunned for a moment. He looked up at the sling bottle and found that there was still more than half of the bottle of medicine, so he turned around and left the ward.

It's past three o'clock in the afternoon, and I don't know what happened at home. Even lunch hasn't been delivered yet.

As soon as he entered the village after returning home from the provincial capital, he met his two sisters. They said that Liu Xinyu had not been seen since last night. Although he felt a little irritated, he quickly put down his luggage and his two sisters took him around to search for her.

After searching several places where Liu Xinyu was most likely to appear, no one was found. Only at Zhang Hongyun's insistence did they go to Liu Qingshan's grave, where they found Liu Xinyu who was unconscious due to high fever.

In order to avoid suspicion, he followed Zhang Hongxia's arrangement. However, he was still worried and rushed to Zhang Hongxia's side from the other direction when they entered the village.

Liu Xinyu's scream was really miserable. It made Zhang Hongxia tremble with fright and almost threw Liu Xinyu to the ground.

If he hadn't reached out to catch Liu Xinyu in time, I'm afraid there would have been bloodshed.

At that time, Zhang Hongliang didn't dare to think about anything else. He quickly picked up Liu Xinyu and only had time to tell his sisters to go home and tell their parents about the situation. He carried Liu Xinyu on his back and ran for four or five miles to send her to the commune.

Health center.

Although Liu Xinyu didn't really weigh much, running four or five miles like this in one breath was really tiring him out.

What Zhang Hongliang didn't expect was that neither of his two sisters came to town with him. In desperation, he had to stay in Liu Xinyu's ward. It was only after Liu Xinyu hung up the water that he had the opportunity to pour himself a glass of water.

Moisten your thirsty throat.

He hadn't had a bite of food for more than ten hours since he got on the bus in the provincial capital. He was so hungry!

Even if he is not hungry, Liu Xinyu, who is sick and hanging on water, should be hungry.

My younger sister Zhang Hongyun said that Liu Xinyu ran out yesterday evening.

After all, she hadn't eaten for twenty hours, so she had to give her something to eat.

Since he couldn't wait for his family to bring food, Zhang Hongliang thought about asking the nurse if he could buy something to eat in the hospital cafeteria or nearby, even just a mouthful of porridge.

"Comrade, does our health center have a canteen? I want to buy some food for the patients." A nurse who happened to be coming from the pharmacy carrying a medicine tray, Zhang Hongliang hurriedly approached and asked.

"How can there be a canteen in such a small health center? Patients are served by each family." The nurse shook her head, but quickly pointed out a clear path to Zhang Hongliang: "Exit the health center, turn left and walk forward for about fifty meters.

It’s a restaurant run by a supply and marketing cooperative. You can go there to have a look, but I don’t know if there’s anything to eat in the restaurant at this time.”

After thanking the nurse, Zhang Hongliang went back to the ward and took another look. He found that the medicine seemed to be dripping a little too quickly. He was worried that Liu Xinyu wouldn't be able to bear it, so he hurriedly adjusted it.

After confirming that the drip speed was appropriate, he quietly begged the family members of the patients in the same ward to take care of Liu Xinyu and prepare to go out to find food.

At this time, Zhang Hongliang was a little annoyed at his mistake. If he had a bag on his body, why would he have to go out to find food now?!

He always kept a few compressed biscuits in his shoulder bag. Although they were not good things, they were very hungry and tasted delicious when soaked in water. However, he had left the bag at home.

Thinking of the satchel, Zhang Hongliang couldn't help but pause in his steps.

You must use food stamps to eat in the restaurant. He didn't have any food stamps with him. He had all the food stamps in his bag.

Also, the money he brought with him was used to pay for Liu Xinyu's medicine, leaving only a few small 10-cent bills.

If you don’t have food stamps and only have a few cents, what can you buy at a restaurant?

One dime per ticket will kill a heroic man!

Just when Zhang Hongliang was in a dilemma, there was a rush of footsteps, and then a slightly panting but still crisp voice: "Brother, I'm sorry, we're late! Where are you going?"

Zhang Hongliang looked up and saw that it was his younger brothers and sisters who came.

The third brother, Zhang Hongwei, was carrying a bamboo basket in his right hand and a small baggage in his left hand.

The eldest sister Zhang Hongxia also carried a small baggage in her hand.

When Zhang Hongliang's eyes fell on his younger sister Zhang Hongyun, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhang Hongyun was indeed his good sister and actually brought his satchel for him.

"I'm so hungry that I'm planning to go out to find something to eat." Zhang Hongliang showed his white porcelain jar to his brothers and sisters.

"Brother, how is Xinyu? Are you feeling better?" Zhang Hongyun handed the bag to Zhang Hongliang and asked eagerly about the condition of her good friend Liu Xinyu.

"I woke up once before, drank some water and fell asleep again. The fever has gone down a bit, and I'm hanging on to the water." Taking the satchel handed over by Zhang Hongyun and slinging it on his shoulder, Zhang Hongliang smiled and touched Zhang Hongyun's head.

He reached out and took the bamboo basket carried by Zhang Hongwei.

There must be food in the basket. The portion is not light. I don’t know what was given.

When you open the lid, you will see seven or eight scallion pancakes neatly stacked on the green lotus leaves.

It’s so fragrant, it’s my mom’s handiwork!

Under the lotus leaf is a clay pot, which should be porridge. Next to the clay pot is a glass bottle, which contains cucumbers.

"Brother, there are two boiled eggs at the bottom." Zhang Hongyun pointed to the basket.

Zhang Hongliang was stunned for a moment, then showed a faint smile.

He nodded to his younger brothers and sisters and led them back to the ward.

Zhang Hongyun is the original owner's best friend and the first voice Liu Xinyu heard when she came to this world.

Although at first, Liu Xinyu thought the little girl's chirping was a bit noisy, but when she heard Zhang Hongyun's voice again, she felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy and reality from the bottom of her heart.

Opening her eyes and looking silently at the Zhang brothers and sisters who followed Zhang Hongliang in, Liu Xinyu felt that Zhang Hongliang was really blessed.

As brothers and sisters, although their facial features are somewhat similar, none of them are as handsome as Zhang Hongliang.

Zhang Hongliang's appearance is comparable to that of Xin Yu's young men of that era.

"Xinyu, you're awake, are you feeling better?" Zhang Hongyun met Liu Xinyu's foggy eyes as soon as she entered the ward. She was pleasantly surprised and sat down on the edge of Liu Xinyu's hospital bed, greeting Liu Xinyu very affectionately.

Zhang Hongxia just glanced at Liu Xinyu indifferently and turned away silently. She helped Zhang Hongliang open the bamboo basket and take out the clay pots, bowls and chopsticks inside.

"I didn't have much preparation at home today, so I spread out some cakes, cooked some porridge, and mixed in a cucumber. Second Grandma Liu had something to do at home, so she asked Uncle Liu's Xinju to send two boiled eggs. Here, they are all here

Here, you can just eat." Zhang Hongxia took out everything from the bamboo basket and placed it on the bedside table, still not looking at Liu Xinyu when she spoke.
