Xiao Bing felt as if his body was being torn apart. His head was buzzing. He wanted to open his eyes, but he could not. His body was burning hot, but Xiao Bing could vaguely hear voices in his ears.
A young girl said anxiously, "Grandpa, why hasn't he woken up yet? How long is he going to sleep? Why don't we send him to the hospital?"
A voice that sounded a little old said, "Yesterday, the doctor from the clinic came over. He said that his injuries were too serious, and it was not suitable for him to travel long distances. This place is not too far from Jingdu, but if we want to walk out of this village, there is such a long dirt road. If we go all the way out, he will probably die even if he has half his life left."
"But … but he has a very bad fever. His forehead is boiling hot. What should we do? Nothing will happen to him, right? Why didn't the antipyretic prescribed by the doctor work at all? "The girl said anxiously.
The old man's voice seemed to be a little hesitant. He was not as confident as before. "Then … then let's wait and see. If it doesn't work, I will drive the tricycle and take him to the city at night. But … alas, I don't know how much it will cost. We don't have enough money at home. "
The girl said innocently, "Don't you have … some money in your bankbook?"
The old man did not know whether to laugh or cry. "The money in the bankbook is your dowry. How can you touch it? Your father saved it for you before he passed away. I didn't dare to touch it for so many years. "
The girl said, "But money is not as important as life."
Xiao Bing's head was heavy. He could vaguely hear these words. Then the voice became more and more vague. He began to pass out again.
Xiao Bing did not know how long he had slept. Suddenly, he felt a slight chill on his forehead, and his body was not as hot as before. It seemed that someone had gently put a wet towel on his forehead. Then Xiao Bing could clearly hear the voice of the girl who had spoken to him before he fainted. "Big brother, big brother, wake up. But don't worry, don't be afraid. My grandpa has promised that if you don't wake up, he will find a way to send you to a hospital in a big city for treatment. My grandpa said that he doesn't want to use my dowry, but I can earn it again if it's gone. At most, I won't have a dowry. But we can't delay saving people. "
"We fished you out of the ice river. No one has ever dared to swim in the ice river. The water in the pool is too cold, and you were covered in wounds. When we fished you out, we thought you were going to die. Big brother, how could you be so careless? You actually fell into the pool. "
Only then did Xiao Bing understand why he didn't die. It turned out that there was a river in the abyss. He fell into the river and was lucky to be rescued. Then he lay here. It seemed that it was this pair of grandfather and granddaughter who saved him. And this little sister even gave up her dowry to save his life. What a kind family.
When the girl was talking, Xiao Bing had already opened his eyes. When he woke up this time, Xiao Bing knew that he was fine. Although he was awake for a short time before, his ears sounded dizzy, and it was impossible for him to open his eyes. This time it was different. Although he was also weak, he felt very clear when he heard the girl's words. Xiao Bing knew that he should have passed the most dangerous stage.
The girl was still talking to Xiao Bing. When she suddenly saw Xiao Bing open his eyes, she screamed and hurriedly jumped off the bed. She took two steps back and accidentally sprained her ankle. She directly sat on the ground with a painful expression on her face.
Xiao Bing could not help but smile bitterly. He had only opened his eyes, but there were so many chain reactions. But this girl was really very cute. Her skin was wheat-colored, but very healthy. She blinked her eyes, and her eyelashes were very long and charming. She was slender and had two small dimples on her face. She looked very beautiful and lovely.
At this moment, she was sitting on the ground with both hands covering her ankle. Her teeth were gently biting her lips, and it seemed that she was in pain.
Xiao Bing asked with concern, "Are you … all right?"
"I'm fine." The girl took two cold breaths, and then slowly stood up. It seemed that her feet were not very daring to touch the ground.
Xiao Bing said with a bitter smile, "Uh … I scared you."
"No." The girl stuck out her tongue and smiled. The girl stuck out her tongue and laughed. "I scared myself. That's just how I am. I like to talk to myself when there's no one around. It just so happens that there's a living person next to me. Although I'm unconscious, I can't stop talking. When I saw you suddenly open your eyes, I was shocked. I was too focused."
Xiao Bing laughed and said, "You're so cute."
The girl blushed, but her skin was wheat-colored, so it did not look particularly obvious. She was not as shy as Liu Kexin. Although her face was red, she suddenly giggled and said, "Actually, I think so too."
Xiao Bing smiled. This girl was very interesting, and her character was very in line with Xiao Bing's taste.
Xiao Bing asked, "How old are you this year? What's your name? You were the one who saved me, right? "
"Yes, Grandpa and I saved you from the Glacier River. Oh, by the way, the Glacier River is the name of a river here. We locals named it Glacier because the river water is very strange. It's always cold no matter if it's spring, summer, autumn, or winter."
Xiao Bing said, "That's really strange. Then I … Where am I now?"
"At my home. Oh, by the way, our village is called Du Village. Everyone in the village, regardless of gender or age, has the surname Du. My name is Du Xiaoyu, and my grandpa is Du Wong."
Xiao Bing smiled and said with emotion, "Thank you and your grandpa for saving me."
"You're welcome. We were also strolling by the Glacier and happened to see you. At that time, you were floating on the river. It was a little strange. There seemed to be a red light on your body, so we saw it very clearly. Then we found a boat and rescued you. By the way, how did you fall into the Glacier? And how did you get hurt? "
Xiao Bing said with a wry smile, "This … It's a long story. Anyway, I was hurt by bad people. By the way, Du Xiaoyu, can I call you Xiaoyu? "
"Yes, my grandpa also calls me that." Du Xiaoyu said happily, "Usually, people from our village rarely come here."
Xiao Bing asked, "How far is your village from the Spirit Mountain? How far is it from Jingdu? "
"It's not very far." Du Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, "We are more than 10 kilometers away from the Spirit Mountain, and a little farther from Jingdu, about 20 kilometers."
Xiao Bing was surprised and said, "Is this Glacier very long?"
"Well, very long. The other side of the Glacier is under a few cliffs that you can't see the end of."
Xiao Bing sighed and said, "It seems that I was washed here by the river. It's really lucky that I can be rescued."
Xiao Bing thought of what happened before. He actually almost died. Now he still had a lingering fear. If he really died this time, what would happen to Ye Xiaoxi? What about Su Xiaoxiao? What about the others?
Xiao Bing still felt a little scared until now. But did he regret it? Xiao Bing did not regret going to the Spirit Mountain. He just regretted that he was a little careless this time. In fact, he should have let Mo Long and the others wait for him at the bottom of the Spirit Mountain. But maybe this was also a good thing. According to the enemy's preparation, if Mo Long and the others came, they might be caught in one net, which would be more troublesome.
Du Xiaoyu asked, "Big brother, what's your name?"
"Me? My name is Xiao Bing. "
The people in this village seemed to be relatively isolated. Otherwise, the grandfather and granddaughter should have recognized his identity at first glance. After all, he was a big star. Of course, even so, there was a certain risk in saying his name, but Xiao Bing did not care. Mainly, Xiao Bing felt that he should not deceive his savior on the most basic question, not to mention that she was willing to pay her dowry to save his life.
Xiao Bing struggled to try, but his whole body was weak and painful. In the end, he had to smile bitterly and lie down again.
Du Xiaoyu advised him, "You'd better not move. You have just woken up, and you have to pay attention to your body. You have a lot of injuries. We found a doctor in the nearby county to bandage you and gave you antipyretics. But your fever did not go down, so we wanted to send you to Jingdu for treatment. After all, Jingdu is the national capital. I heard that the doctors there are very good. Maybe they can cure you. I didn't expect you to wake up now. "
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Yes, I know. Thank you."
"Oh, don't thank me. My life is more important than the sky. It's what I should do."
Xiao Bing looked around and found that the house looked very dilapidated. The walls were a little old, and there was no air conditioner or refrigerator in the whole house. Of course, he did not know if there was only one in the room where he lived. But in any case, he could see that this family was really very poor.
Du Xiaoyu said with some embarrassment, "Do you think our house is too shabby?"
"No, I feel very warm." Xiao Bing said with a smile, "This is what a home looks like. It's really very warm."
"Of course." Du Xiaoyu believed Xiao Bing's words and said proudly, "It's really very warm. Most of the people in our village are like a family!"
But at this time, there was a sudden noise outside the house. Someone shouted loudly, "Bad old man, come out!"
