While Yu was staring at the bottle of intravenous fluid in a daze, time passed slowly into the evening.
The flow rate of this drip was adjusted very slowly. Even though it was about the same amount as a small bottle of 200 ml mineral water, Yu stared at it for several hours and still had not finished the infusion.
Yuyou wanted to speed it up, but he was afraid that if it was too fast, air would enter and kill the cypress.
To be honest, she didn't know what would happen after the adjustment, so she didn't do it.
Although she didn't mind giving it a try, she would still feel a little guilty if she let other creatures that were not cultivated as food lose their lives because she was just curious.
If it was intentional, I probably wouldn't feel that way.
In short, this kind of thing cannot be touched casually unless you have the awareness to face the worst development.
-
In front of Hinoki's bed, Yu found a push-button call bell like the one used at the waiting table.
So she pressed it.
But except for a small sound, nothing else happened.
-
When Yu was packing his luggage in Hinoki, he took some of his money out of his clothes and put it into the bag, lest it would be discovered later that there was nothing inside, but the rest was still in the pocket of his clothes.
There was nothing else in her bag except some daily necessities and money.
But although she has a lot of money now, she can't sneak out of the hospital to buy anything. She can only stay in the hospital doing nothing, staying with her cheap brother, waiting for him to wake up. .
-
Ten minutes after she pressed the bell, someone opened the door of the ward from the outside, pushed a small dining cart, walked to the other bed where there was no patient on it, and lowered the small table beside the bed. Little by little, the food, bowls, plates and trays were brought to the table.
"Your brother needs a good rest. Even if he wakes up, he can't eat anything else for the time being. There is gruel in this thermos cup. If he wakes up, give it to him. If he doesn't wake up, he won't be able to eat anything else until tomorrow morning. It's hot, so if you want to eat it then it won't be cold."
As the sister dressed as a nurse said, she put the thermos cup on the bedside table, then took out a few pieces of candy from a small box on the dining car, placed them on Yu's palm, and touched her hair.
"...Thank you sister."
Yu was a bit speechless about the fact that everyone likes to touch children's heads.
The nurse sister then fine-tuned the IV roller and walked away.
But she left the dining car here.
[Maybe you need to put the utensils back after eating, and then ring the bell?]
Yu stopped thinking about the mess. He ran into the bathroom and stepped on a stool to wash his hands and face carefully. Then he took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed where the food was placed. He sat at the small table and started eating.
-
This table is very stable and will generally not tilt or move due to shock.
Even if a patient with a bad temper lifts the table, he may not be able to lift it up instantly and can only move it back bit by bit.
-
After finishing the simple but nutritious hospital meal, which was nothing special in general, Yu packed the tableware back to the dining car, wiped the small table with a paper towel, and lay down on it.
The whole bed shook slightly, but the table was still very stable.
Is it because the table is very stable that the bed is shaking?
Otherwise, it may collapse directly.
The width of this desktop is about 40 centimeters, the length is almost the height of a one-year-old child, and the thickness...
Yu left the small table and squatted on the bed to measure it with his fingers.
It is equivalent to the length of her entire index finger when she was five years old.
Yu twisted his wrist so that his palms were facing up. He stared at his hands while doing a stretching motion.
It's small and a little fleshy.
It reminded her of the meaty chicken feet she had eaten before.
She got out of bed, put on her shoes, ran to the bathroom to wash her hands, then returned to the ward and bit her finger.
No effort.
Just like an old man puckering his mouth, he bit it through his teeth.
Of course it doesn't taste good when eaten, but the texture is okay.
Just when she tried to take a second bite, a piece of messily opened bread was suddenly stuffed into her mouth.
"Are you... not full?"
The big sister who delivered the food before wiped the sweat from her forehead and stopped her before squatting down and slowly and completely tearing open the package of the bun.
"Just...just curious..."
Yu felt that it was embarrassing for someone to see him doing such a stupid thing.
"If you feel bored, you can read these picture books."
The nurse sister found two or three children's books from the mezzanine of the dining car and placed them on the hospital bed on the other side. Then she took off Yu's shoes, picked her up, and sat with her.
"I still have some time now, shall I read a little to you?"
The nurse sister glanced at the dots of juniper trees in the distance, turned her head and picked up a picture book with a smile, pushed the tabletop back, and read a story to Yu who was sitting in her arms.
"..."
[…………]
Yu's mind was not on the picture books at all, and even those silly-looking stories about young children facing young children were not in the mood to complain in his heart.
-
Time passed while Yu and the nurse sister were reading stories to clear their minds.
Halfway through reading the picture book, the nurse sister put the book and Yuan aside. She stretched herself first, washed her hands, and went to finish the last few drops of the cypress and unplug it.
"If anything happens, you can continue to ring the bell. I will come again. Don't read too late and go to bed early -"
The nurse sister smiled gently at Yu again, put the empty bottles and disposable needles and tubes into the waste bin of the dining car, and pushed them out.
"..."
Yu waved to the nurse sister with a complicated mood, got out of bed and put the picture book next to Hinoki's pillow. Then he changed out of the outer clothes he had worn for several days, turned off the lights, closed the curtains, and wore some thin underwear.
, spread out the quilt and got in.
The quilt is not thin, but if compared to the climate temperature in autumn or spring, it is still a bit cold.
Fortunately, there is some kind of heating facility in the hospital to keep me warm. Even in winter, it's not that cold.
She put the pillow up and hugged her while pillowing it.
"..."
[……no the same.]
...Well, it’s different.
It's also different from the warm embrace I felt a long time ago.
-
At dawn, Yu got up, but Hui didn't wake up yet.
After Yu took a shower, he ran to Hinoki's bedside, rang the bell, and then opened the thermos cup.
The nurse sister was right. Even after one night, the large cup of porridge was still very hot.
Yu silently put the opened thermos aside, planning to wait until it cooled down before eating.
-
"Good morning, I'm here again. How was your rest last night?"
The nurse sister pushed the dining cart into the ward, gently helped Yu put down the tabletop on the bed, put the tray with breakfast on it, then picked up a feeding bottle that seemed to be for babies... and poured some new insulation There was still a faintly fragrant drink in the cup. After twisting it, he took it and walked towards Hinoki's hospital bed.
"Sister, I want to give it a try, is it okay?"
Yu grabbed the hem of the nurse sister's uniform.
"Of course, are you worried about my brother?"
The sister put the bottle in Yu's hand.
The mild milky flavor is like the goat's milk I used to drink when I was a kid. Perhaps because cypress also needs to replenish water, there seems to be a lot more hot water in the mixed drink.
It’s such a dilution that you can vaguely see the thing on the other side through this transparent bottle.
Yu held the bottle and stood on tiptoes in front of Hinoki's hospital bed. After opening the second cap on the bottle, he inserted the feeding tube into Hinoki's mouth. While squeezing it slightly, he reached out and stroked it from top to bottom. The throat part of the cypress allows him to replenish water smoothly even when he is sleeping.
There were no choking accidents along the way. Hui looked like a child younger than her, replenishing the energy her body needed without much consciousness.
This reminded her of the scene when she visited a ranch and fed newborn cows and sheep with a bottle.
It's really similar.
"Just start with these. If your brother doesn't wake up at noon, just feed him the rest."
The nurse sister took the bottle out of Yu's hand, placed it on the bedside table, and then touched her hair.
"Someone will be here in a while. If you feel that staying in the hospital is boring, you can follow him for a walk."
The nurse sister smiled gently, walked to the window, tied the curtains, and then opened the window to slowly refresh the air in the ward.
Winter in Konoha is not very cold, and many people will wear summer clothes as usual during this period.
But this is only a reality for awake people. People who have fallen asleep like Hina cannot regulate their own temperature well.
The bodies of most living things have the ability to adapt to the temperature of the surrounding environment. When they feel cold, their skin temperature tends to rise. This is the case for many people with fevers.
Sometimes when you feel hot, your palms will be warm, but the back of your hands will be cooler.
But these situations are normal. Situations that are so hot that you will suffer from heat stroke and those that are so cold that you will freeze to death are not included, because the temperature in these two situations is much higher than the upper limit that you can adjust, but it is not too hot. You will feel cold, and you will also feel hot when you are cold, but the body energy dissipated simply cannot supply the amount consumed by the surrounding environment, so you may faint to death from heat or freeze to death.
Yu saw a layer of goosebumps forming on Hinoki's arm outside the quilt.
[No matter, let’s eat first.]
Yu touched his arm and felt a little cold.
She found her coat and put it on her body. After washing her hands, she returned to the small table on her bed and opened the handle of the lunch box.
A cute little bun, a piece of bread with a small children's meal flag, a star-shaped fried egg, and some mixed vegetable salad.
She first took the thermos cup from before.
The porridge is still hot, but not as hot.
"……tasty."
Yu said this to the nurse sister who had not yet left, then lowered his head and concentrated on destroying the breakfast prepared for himself.
[Although it is quite ordinary and delicious...]
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
19.12.19.-20-
Yesterday I sorted out my previous drawings and changed the character portraits at the polka dots, and then I suddenly realized that the characters I drew were so cute (?)
...Yesterday, I was very angry about something I said before. How should I put it? After I finished what I said, I put it there and I could see that it was me who said it. I knew it very well, but no matter how I saw it, I felt uncomfortable (.)
There were times when I was angry with myself, and I even wrote two plots in which I was fighting with myself, and then in one of them I killed the other one, who was earlier in time, and in the other one it was the other way around, and then I mocked myself.
.
The second paragraph says: I know that what I said is not for myself, but about other things, and I am not talking about others, but I really feel very unhappy when I see it (only a dozen words)
Speaking of which, I remembered that there were still a few characters that had not been added. They were full, so I deleted Shima, Indo, and Ebizo, and added Hanabi, Izumi, and Saai (Sai Kazushiro, the blue one next to the avatar).
This thing was drawn by me as the male protagonist in 2017. I changed the shape of the face (it used to be quite round))
When I checked the birth date of the characters in the original work, I found that Hiruzen (Third Generation Fire)'s wife was also killed by Obito. She had never known it before because she didn't pay much attention to other people, and it was also because there were too many people without Kyuubi that day...(
Manual emoticon package: The fourth generation frowns and beats the young man's sleeves.jpg)
-I want to go to school as soon as possible, and I really want to write down the interesting (in my opinion) plot that happened.
I have been making changes these days, and then today I dreamed that the screen automatically unlocked when there were only a few chapters left. I was happy. After that, I woke up.
