206 206 Going to the hospital
Old Master Lus health fluctuates a lot. When he fell into a coma, Lu Qing stayed by his side and did not leave for a moment. Lu Qing would only leave when he was awake.
The dispirited old man on the hospital bed looked at his young grandson. He was really unwilling in his heart. His son and daughter-in-law had pa.s.sed away early, and his grandson was still in high school. Although Lu Qing was very sensible, he was still a child after all. How could he leave Lu Qing behind and die now?
Grandpa, dont worry. Lu Qing hadnt had a good meal or a good nights sleep for the past few days. His originally handsome face had lost its youth and there were dark circles under his eyes. You will get better.
Dont worry, Grandpa can live for another 20 years. Old Master Lu tried his best to open his eyes wide and speak. But, I just want you to be well now. I want you to get into university, start a family, and then
Old Master Lu started coughing continuously.
Grandpa! Where do you feel uncomfortable? Lu Qing asked nervously.
Its fine! Its fine. Old Master Lu waved his hand and changed the topic,You havent eaten, have you? Quick, you should have something to eat.
No! Lu Qing said, shaking his head.
How can you skip meals? When I was a soldier, I would thank the heavens if I could even get one meal a day. Now that you have something to eat, you shouldnt starve yourself.
Lu Qing could tell that his grandfather wanted him to leave. Im not leaving!
Are you not going to listen to your grandfather? Old Master Lus temper was still very bad. Even though he had been lying in bed for so long, he still had his strong military sura. Dont worry, its not time for me to go yet. Grandpa can hold on so that you have the time to eat.
Lu Qing frowned.
If you dont eat, I wont take my medicine. Old Master Lu continued.
Alright, Ill go. Lu Qing wanted to return quickly.
Just as Lu Qing stepped out of the door, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu rushed to the hospital. Xiao Mo was entrusted with the task of holding Lu Qing back.
They had been here before and Old Master Lu had also said that there was no need to report their arrival in the future, so the guards let them in directly.
Old Master Lu was very happy to see Tan Rou. Young girl, youve come to see this old man again.
Tan Rou brought a small gift over and sat on the edge of the bed quietly. Yes, I thought I should come and visit you.
Old Master Lu looked to the other side. The Zhuang familys third young master is here too.
Zhuang Liu deliberately talked to him to attract his attention. Mr. Lu, you can just call me Zhuang Liu. Calling me the third young master is making me feel distant from you.
Old Master Lu sized him up. You look much better than last time. I heard people talking about you a while ago He didnt finish his sentence. Third young master Zhuangs illness was not a secret in the society but it wasnt something that Zhuang Liu had announced to the public. However, he felt that he was getting more and more energetic and didnt look like he was in an incurable state.
Tan Rou didnt want to be exposed so she put the credit on Bai Jing. The doctor at home changed the treatment plan.
Thats good. Old Master Lu felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier. I cant take it anymore. Im already feeling sleepy.
Tan Rou gave Zhuang Liu a look. After Zhuang Liu received the signal, he immediately said, You shall rest then. Well call the guards for you.
Old Master Lu slowly closed his eyes. Alright. Thank you.
Zhuang Liu didnt call for the guards because this was Tan Rous plan. Tan Rou had not been idle just now. She had been setting up the incense.
Ive already told them to block the surveillance. You should hurry. Zhuang Liu reminded her.
Sure. Tan Rou took out the sterilized silver needles from her bag and arranged them on the table beside the bed. She took out a thin needle and inserted it into Old Master Lus body. Old Master Lu did not feel anything in his sleep and he did not make a sound because of the pain.
The silver needles in Tan Rous hands danced in the air, and in a short while, Old Master Lus body was pierced with countless needles. Suddenly, Lu Qings voice came from outside.
It seems like Xiao mo didnt manage to hold him back for too long. Zhuang Liu operated the wheelchair. Just focus. Ill hold them outside.
Ill be done in two minutes. Tan Rou said.
Zhuang Liu couldnt hold Lu Qing back for too long but he definitely could for two minutes. Just a simple conversation and two minutes would have pa.s.sed. While they were talking, Tan Rou removed the needle and lit up the antidote fragrance.
The antidote incense quickly burned out. She opened the windows and the ventilation system to disperse the smell so that the incense would not be discovered. After waiting for a few minutes, Zhuang Liu still hadnt come back, so she decided to leave and wait for him outside the room.
This is the tonic that the third young master Zhuang brought for the old man. Tan Rou handed the prepared herbal dish to the guard. If Old Master Lu is hungry, you can give this to him.
The guard accepted her herbal dish, but he didnt think that the chief would be eating it. Recently, his appet.i.te had been getting worse and he couldnt keep anything in his system.
