Back To The 80s-Chapter 573 - 565: Fever_1

Lu Zhanguo and Ji Xiangdong left Shen Heng’s office, with Lu Zhanguo walking forward in silence the whole way.

"What are you planning?" Ji Xiangdong looked at Lu Zhanguo and asked.

"Planning? What planning?" Lu Zhanguo pretextually asked back.

"You secretly took a gun out of the troop and even fired it. If they pin you down now, you will leave the troop disgracefully." Ji Xiangdong calmly analyzed.

Lu Zhanguo stopped suddenly, stared at Ji Xiangdong and said, "I have now caught into their plot. They kill two birds with one stone, successfully gaining the trust of the drug traffickers, and Wang Wenbing can also take me down. But I won’t let him easily succeed."

"Do you have a grudge against Wang Wenbing?" Ji Xiangdong asked, puzzled.

Lu Zhanguo frowned, "I have no grudge against him, but his boss’s two sons, the adopted son Du Chengjiang, I caught him personally, because of this, his biological son, Du Chengwen, was somewhat affected. He had a good future in the troop, but he had to retreat and returned home."

Ji Xiangdong sighed, patted Lu Zhanguo on the shoulder, and asked, "What are you planning to do now? If Wang Wenbing is determined to deal with you, whether you die or not, it would be difficult for you."

Lu Zhanguo slightly raised his eyebrows and firmly said, "I have made all the arrangements, don’t worry."

Underneath the dim street light, with Lu Zhanguo confidently and steadfastly declaring his plan, Ji Xiangdong felt some sense of reassurance.

Whether it was in the local area or the troop, whether it was in the past or the present, the secret disputes among small groups never ceased.

Gu Xiaobei cried madly in Mo Wang’s arms for a while before she pulled away from Mo Wang and asked concernedly, "Did you get hurt, son? Did the bad guys hit you?"

Mo Wang shook his head, "Mom, I’m hungry." He didn’t want his mother to cry anymore, because it made him want to cry too.

Seeing this, Wen Xiuqing couldn’t help but cry and laugh at the same time, "Mo Wang hasn’t eaten for a day. Grandma will go and make something right away."

None of the family members had eaten at all that day.

Li Fengmei was already cooking a pot of millet porridge in the kitchen, and she also made some thin pancakes.

"Aunt, let’s give Mo Wang some porridge first." With tears in her eyes, Li Fengmei said with a smile.

While eating the porridge, Mo Wang’s hand was tightly clutching Gu Xiaobei’s finger. He was still very scared.

Gu Xiaobei stroked Mo Wang’s head. Her eyes hurt from crying so much.

Xiaopang stuck closely to Mo Wang, watching him eat the porridge. With a nasal voice, she said, "Brother, let me blow on it for you."

Gu Xiaobei found that Mo Wang’s palm had started to feel hot and his face appeared unusually red. When she touched his forehead, it was hot, and she started to panic, "Mom, Mo Wang has a fever, why has his temperature risen so high all of a sudden?"

As soon as Wen Xiuqing heard this, she became flustered. She quickly came over, lightly touched Mo Wang’s forehead with her lips, and felt his temperature from the back of his neck. His temperature was very high, and it felt hot to her mouth.

"Quickly, take him to the hospital. If his temperature rises again and causes infantile convulsion and shock, it will be terrible." Wen Xiuqing said hurriedly. She felt that Mo Wang’s sudden fever was influenced by today’s freezing and fright. The symptoms became apparent when his mood relaxed.

Gu Xiaobei wrapped Mo Wang up in a small quilt while Zhang Lijun held him. Li Fengmei assisted Gu Xiaobei, and the three of them rushed to the hospital.

Seeing her brother being taken away, Xiaopang started crying loudly, "Brother, I want my brother. I’ll be a good girl. I want my brother!" She tried to crawl down from the bed.

With her tears streaming down, Wen Xiuqing held Xiaopang and comforted her, "Xiaopang, be good. Your brother has a fever and has gone to see a doctor. He’ll be back when it’s daylight, okay?"

Xiaopang continued crying, unable to stop, "I’ll be a good girl, I want my brother. I will always listen in the future." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Xiaopang vaguely felt that everything that happened today was because she didn’t listen to her brother. When her brother asked her to go home, she didn’t, otherwise, the bad guys wouldn’t have taken her brother away. Now that Mo Wang was taken to the hospital, she feared that her brother would disappear again.

When Lu Zhanguo and Ji Xiangdong arrived home, it was almost dawn and Xiaopang had cried herself to sleep.

Wen Xiuqing and Lu Songyuan sat on the couch in the living room, worried.

"What happened?" As soon as Lu Zhanguo entered and saw the tense atmosphere, he immediately asked.

"Mo Wang has a fever. Xiaobei and the others have gone to the military hospital." Before Wen Xiuqing had finished speaking, Lu Zhanguo had already rushed out.

When he arrived at the military hospital, Lu Zhanguo asked a nurse and went forth to the ward’s door. There, he heard Gu Xiaobei’s hoarse voice coming from inside, "Mo Wang, Mommy will stay home with you from now on. When you get better, Mommy will take you and your sister to the zoo to see giraffes every week, okay?"

"Mo Wang, you never told Mommy what your favorite food is. You see, Xiaopang loves candies and meat, doesn’t like cabbage, and doesn’t like radishes. What about you? What do you like? Every time Mommy gave you something, you would eat it. I just realized that Mommy doesn’t even know what you like and dislike." As she spoke, Gu Xiaobei couldn’t help but cry again.

Everybody praised Mo Wang for being good, sensible, and not picky about food, but they forgot that he was just a little over three years old and it was impossible for him not to have likes and dislikes.

The more Gu Xiaobei thought about it, the more guilty she felt. She laid on the side of the bed and cried heartily.

After getting the IV, Mo Wang had fallen into a deep sleep and would occasionally cry a few times in his dreams.

Lu Zhanguo watched all of this through the crack of the door, his eyes reddened.

Li Fengmei brought a basin of hot water from the water room. Seeing Lu Zhanguo standing at the door of the ward, she said in a low voice, "Why don’t you go in?"

Lu Zhanguo glanced at the basin in Li Fengmei’s hand, took it and said, "Let me do it."

Li Fengmei whispered, "This is warm salt water. The doctor said to apply it to Mo Wang’s feet, fearing the child might have frostbite."

Lu Zhanguo nodded and went into the ward with the basin.

He put the basin on the ground, went over and squatted next to Gu Xiaobei. Ignoring Li Fengmei who was behind him, he pulled Gu Xiaobei forcefully into his arms, holding her tightly and whispering, "Stop crying. As long as I’m here, I won’t let anything happen to you."

Gu Xiaobei buried her face in Lu Zhanguo’s chest and sobbed.

From behind, Li Fengmei was wiping away her tears. Thinking about what had happened today still made her shudder in fear.

Lu Zhanguo gently patted Gu Xiaobei’s back until her emotions gradually stabilized. Then he told her to rest on another empty bed while he helped Mo Wang warm his feet.

As soon as Mo Wang’s feet were wrapped in the warm towel, he couldn’t help but shrink, and said in his dream, "Daddy, come here quickly, I’m scared."

Listening to Mo Wang, Lu Zhanguo felt extremely distressed. He promised himself that he would make those responsible for this pay dearly.

Mo Wang stayed sick in the hospital for a week. His fever would coincide and recede, especially at night when it would rise sharply, scaring everyone. His little face was sallow, lacking spirit, and his head tilted to one side.

Gu Xiaobei was heartbroken. No matter day or night, she held Mo Wang tightly, and she herself lost a lot of weight.

He Qin was also clueless as to what caused Mo Wang’s illness. The blood test showed no inflammation. Everything seemed normal.

Wen Xiuqing also turned to superstition this time. She believed that Mo Wang had lost his soul because of the shock.
