"Little Xi!"
"Dad, why did you guys follow?"
In her haste, she had forgotten her father and younger brother were still behind.
"You little brat! Trying to anger me to death!"
Why wouldn't they come?
After hearing everything her son said along the way, he didn't know what to say.
This little rascal, when something like this happened, her first thought wasn't to call for him, an adult inside, but to rashly charge forward.
Fortunately, it was just an accident. If it had been kidnapping or fraud, she might have fainted the moment she went in!
"Alright, Dad, I was just anxious to save someone!"
"Don't be angry~ Don't be angry~"
"You! You just wait until we get home, I'll have a good talk with you!"
"How are the people inside?"
"There shouldn't be any major issues. The doctor in the ambulance took a preliminary look."
"That's good, that's good!"
"Yes, we'll wait a bit to see if the person wakes up. The nurses have already notified the family."
"Okay."
As soon as she relaxed, Dad Qiu slumped into a nearby chair.
The entire journey here, if he hadn't braced himself, he probably would have been the one lying on the ambulance stretcher next.
"Here, Dad, rest for a bit."
"Little Pigeon, you come here too, sit down."
"Ah?"
"Oh..."
"..."
Alright, this one was also scared silly.
...
"Doctor! Doctor!"
Not long after Qiu Xi and the others had sat down, an old woman's anxious voice was heard from the emergency room entrance.
"Ma'am, please don't be anxious, tell us what's wrong slowly."
The commotion immediately drew a nurse.
"My old man, is he alright?"
Like a drowning person grabbing a life raft, the old woman grabbed the nurse and started asking questions without any coherence.
"Yes, you're talking about Du Bin. He's still being examined and hasn't come out yet. Please don't worry, he'll be fine."
"Okay, okay, okay..."
Even though the nurse said so, the old woman was still very anxious. As long as she couldn't see him, she couldn't be at ease.
In this world now, they were the only two relying on each other.
Old Du couldn't have another accident, otherwise, how would she live?
"Ma'am, it's alright, please go over there and rest for a bit."
"Those people over there, especially that young lady, she was the one who accompanied him. You can go chat with her."
Seeing the old woman like this, the nurse had no better solution and thought of the young lady who had just been there, so she pointed the old woman in that direction.
"Okay... I'll go take a look."
"Yes, come, I'll help you over."
So, the waiting trio gained another old woman.
"Young lady, this old woman is the old man inside's wife. Can you try talking to her?"
"Okay, I'll try."
"Grandma, are you Grandpa Du's wife?"
"Yes."
"Then why don't I see any other family members?"
Qiu Xi was confused. With such a serious matter, why did only the old woman come?
"Family... they're all gone..."
At this, she suddenly thought of the old man still inside, and Li Minglan's sorrow returned.
"Ah, I'm so sorry, that..."
"It's alright, you didn't know."
"Actually, it's fine to tell you..."
Thinking that it might distract the old woman, Qiu Xi fell silent and just listened to the old woman ramble on.
After listening for a long time, Qiu Xi had a general understanding.
However, the more she listened, the heavier her heart became.
Her master, whom she hadn't even formally apprenticed with yet, truly had a difficult life.
He, a scholar, had already gone through the storms of that era.
He originally had a son and a daughter. The son even worked for the country and had a bright future, but over ten years ago, he died on the front lines.
There was also a daughter who, a few years ago, for some unknown reason, also passed away from illness.
Although the daughter left behind a child, that child was with the husband's family. It could be said that only these two lonely old people were left in the entire Du family.
"..."
After listening, Qiu Xi already felt sorry for her master. But at the moment, she couldn't do anything else, so she could only try to comfort her.
"Grandma Li, please don't worry, Grandpa Du will be fine."
"Yes, old lady, when we just arrived, we already inquired..."
Dad Qiu had heard everything. At this moment, besides feeling empathetic, he also felt a sense of sympathy or even admiration for these two old people.
They were in their eighties and had contributed to the country.
Their entire lives were dedicated to national teaching and research, and in the end, they even sent their son to the country.
"It's okay, it's alright..."
After saying this, Li Minglan felt a little more at ease.
But thinking of her old partner inside, she was still a bit worried and couldn't let go.
...
"Where is Du Bin's family?"
After waiting for a long time, they finally heard a call.
"Doctor, here!"
Qiu Xi helped the old woman, and they walked over together.
"Doctor, how is the person inside?"
"Very good. We ran a lot of tests and found it was just some elderly issues."
"Today, it might have been caused by heart palpitations, but he has already recovered."
"Pay more attention in the future, and don't forget to prepare your medication and carry it with you."
"Yes, yes, yes, we'll remember."
"Alright, take this prescription, get the medicine later, and after a period of observation, if there are no problems, you can go home and rest well."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Doctor."
"Alright, let's go see him later."
After the doctor finished speaking and confirmed there were no issues, he left.
Then, Qiu Xi led them towards the ward.
"Old Du, you're finally awake."
"Yes, I'm fine, don't worry."
"You really have a big heart. If it weren't for that young lady here today, I don't know if you'd be able to talk right now!"
Now that the person was confirmed to be fine, the old woman had the mood to criticize the old man.
Seeing her happily scolding and him willingly accepting it, Qiu Xi's mood also improved.
As expected, Xiao Hua didn't lie to her. This Yangxin Pill was used well, and her cheap master was alive.
