Plague Doctor

Thinking of what happened on the bus, Shen Haoxuan felt lingering fear.

If they hadn't been able to hold down the aunt in time and let her grab the steering wheel and cause the car to crash, their lives and those of everyone in the car would have been hanging in the balance.

When the driver regained control of the car and stopped on the side of the road, everyone scrambled to get out of the car. The driver called an ambulance for the uncle and the police to deal with the aunt.

Because he was in a hurry, Shen Haoxuan left immediately and had no choice but to pay for a taxi to go to the stadium where the comic exhibition was held.

"It was so thrilling when I came here just now." He told a few friends about this, and it was still unbelievable. He didn't expect that what was in the news would happen to him.

"You're bragging." "You don't believe it!" Several friends shouted in disbelief, "You are the only one who dares to take action? My aunt just knocked you down with one hand."

"Really." Shen Haoxuan didn't think he was a hero, but he was always a little excited. At least he had done something good.

The gymnasium decorated in an anime style was full of people. There must have been several thousand people, and most of them were tourists from the city who came from the surrounding towns to enjoy themselves.

Shen Haoxuan and his friends traveled around and took photos with their mobile phones.

Several internet celebrity influencers were present, and they even managed to get a photo taken with one of them, a beautiful young lady. This made the trip worthwhile.

Shen Haoxuan has not had a girlfriend yet. Some of his classmates have had several, but he has not. When he gets to college, he thinks that he must have a girlfriend and have a relationship... However, he also has a girl he has a crush on.

"Look at WeChat!" While eating at a restaurant next to the gymnasium at noon, his friend Liu Hui suddenly exclaimed: "Deng Nuotong has really gone to apply for admission to the National Normal University."

"Ah?" Shen Haoxuan quickly pressed the phone and looked at Deng Nuotong's circle of friends. Sure enough, they were in the same university!

Only Liu Hui knew about his secret crush on Deng Nuotong. He didn't know how to flirt with girls, and he only added her on WeChat as a classmate's address book. Although Deng Nuotong was not the most beautiful person in the class, he was always the one he remembered. I wanted to confess my love when I graduated, but in the end I lost the courage...

Later, I heard that everyone had similar scores and similar aspirations, and Shen Normal University was close to here, so I wondered if we would all go to Shen Normal University together.

Results now! The thought of meeting Deng Nuotong again in college, and even taking the car together to report to the school.

I'm still worried about what topics to talk to others about. Isn't this the best topic now?

Probably because he was too excited, Shen Haoxuan felt like retching and coughed a few times: "Cough... haha, cough..."

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" "There's a story!" Several other friends asked one after another, "Haoxuan and Deng Nuotong? Are they hiding so deeply?"

Shen Haoxuan was so happy that he didn't even stop Liu Hui from chewing his tongue, and just smiled at his friends.

This incident made the afternoon comic show boring. His mind was not here anymore, and all he was thinking about were irrelevant things: getting to know Deng Nuotong on WeChat, successfully confessing his love, going to university together, and being in university together. ...He felt that Deng Nuotong was interesting to him.

The way Deng Nuotong looked at him and the tone of voice she spoke to him seemed to be different from others. Sometimes she would smile at him inexplicably.

It seemed like seeing him would make her inexplicably happy. That should be it...he felt...

"Ahem..."

I was very happy, but also a little uneasy.

Since coughing once at noon, Shen Haoxuan's coughs have become more and more frequent. He didn't take it seriously at first, but later on the bus on his way home, he broke into a series of violent coughs and was looked at a few times by the passengers around him.

His heart thumped, no matter what, he couldn't have been infected with the flu by that uncle...?

With an anxious mood, Shen Haoxuan returned home, a mid-rise unit in a residential apartment building. At this time, he felt a little uncomfortable. He covered his forehead and his palms were hot. He remembered the weird look of the uncle who was still sweating profusely in the air-conditioned car...

Shen Haoxuan went to take the mercury thermometer at home and took his own temperature. When he saw it, he had a fever of 38 degrees.

"What's wrong?" Shen's mother, who was cooking in the kitchen, came over, took the thermometer and took a look at it, and suddenly said in surprise: "38 degrees? It was exposed to the sun outside. The weather is so hot, please be careful not to suffocate." Take some fever-reducing medicine quickly!"

Father Shen, who was watching TV, heard this and came over. "Take the medicine. You can go to bed early tonight and stop playing with your phone."

"Dad, Mom..." Shen Haoxuan stopped talking a few times and coughed again, "I may have to go to the hospital... it may be the flu."

"Bah, what does the cold feel like?" Shen's mother stopped him, "Take some medicine and it'll be fine."

"I met an uncle who had a bad cough on the bus in the morning." Shen Haoxuan said this in a daze, "Then I started to cough at noon, and it became more and more serious."

Mother Shen and Father Shen's expressions suddenly changed. This kind of thing can be big or small.

"It must not be tuberculosis."

"Go to the hospital now."

It was already evening and they hadn't eaten yet, but they were nervous about their son, so they ate something and then set off, driving the family car to the hospital. Because there might be a fasting requirement, Shen Haoxuan was not allowed to eat anything, just drink water.

Along the way, Shen Haoxuan's cough became more severe, and because his muscles were sore and weak, it was uncomfortable even to sit.

Seeing her son like this, Shen's mother was so anxious that she took his temperature again and found that it had already reached 40 degrees!

Father Shen drove the express train and arrived at the town hospital as quickly as possible to register for emergency treatment.

Their family doesn't come to the hospital many times at night. I don't know how many years ago the last time was, but I felt that there were a lot of people visiting the emergency department tonight. The waiting chairs in the corridor were filled with patients and family members, forty or fifty people, some receiving intravenous drips, some queuing up to see a doctor, mostly the elderly and children, and some young adults.

Many of these people were coughing and looked very bad.

"When will it be our turn?" After standing for a long time, Shen's mother couldn't help but asked the passing nurse anxiously, "My child's fever has reached 40 degrees."

"It's coming, it's coming." The nurse gave them an ice pack and hurried away, "Let him apply it first."

"Mom and Dad, don't make things difficult for me." Shen Haoxuan coughed, still conscious, "They will naturally call us when it's our turn."

Mother Shen and Father Shen sighed anxiously, muttering why they haven't arrived yet? Why are there only one or two doctors on duty?

"Going to so many clinics in one night, ahem...it's hard for doctors too." Shen Haoxuan tried to persuade him a few more times, but he couldn't do anything, so he had to lower his head and continue playing with his mobile phone.

Too bad the message hasn't been sent to Deng Nuotong yet. Tomorrow, tomorrow... wait until the fever goes away...

Suddenly, Shen Haoxuan coughed violently, and there seemed to be a bit of blood smell in his mouth.

Love the Plague Doctor.
