Chapter 91 -91: Speed of Life and Death
Baoguo Liu was frantic, rushing forward to bang on the door.
“Open up! Open up!”
Suddenly, the lights inside went out.
Baoguo Liu became even more desperate.
“Open the door, do you hear me? Open the door! Liu Hong, Liu Hong! Dad is here, answer me if you are inside.”
Suddenly someone came out in the yard and shouted loudly, “What are you yelling for? There’s no Liu Hong here! Get lost now or I will call out, and when I do, the villagers will grab you thinking you’re that thief!”
Baoguo Liu violently pounded the door, making the door panels bang loudly, “You open the door! If anything happens to my daughter, I swear I will take your life.”
But that person became silent and didn’t open the door.
Inside came a woman’s cry of alarm, the sound of a washbasin hitting the ground, “Her dad, come quick; this woman is in bad shape!”
This shout was heard clearly by everyone outside; the footsteps in the yard hurriedly disappeared further inside, twisting Baoguo Liu’s heart. These words made him think of all possible consequences! Each one was a horrifying image of Liu Hong lying in a pool of blood.
“Open the door! Open the door!” Baoguo Liu banged on the door forcefully, but unfortunately, the door was very sturdy.
“Move aside!” They heard Zhiyuan An shout sternly.
Baoguo Liu couldn’t hear anything, his ears seemed already to have flown inside the yard.
Inside was chaos, “Her dad, what do we do?”
“Blood… so much blood…”
Bai Xiao made a quick decision and shouted, “Quick, pull the village chief away.” She knew what Zhiyuan An was about to do.
Li Guoqing and a few others went to pull Baoguo Liu aside; Baoguo Liu still tried to rush forward, only to see Zhiyuan An kick the door with a flying kick, making a thunderous noise as it fell.
Everyone was stunned.
That kick from Instructor An was too powerful, it was just a door; had it been a person, they would surely have been killed.
Everyone shuddered.
Bai Xiao was first to rush in, only for her collar to be abruptly grabbed from behind, “Get behind me.” Someone flung her to the back.
Bai Xiao was indignant, but before she could get angry, Zhiyuan An had already rushed in with others.
The curtain of the inside door swung open, and a man inside, his hands covered in blood, blocked their way, “What are you doing? This is breaking and entering; get out!” His eyes, filled with panic, inadvertently revealed the situation inside.
Zhiyuan An looked back briefly; Xiaowu and the others rushed forward to pin the man against the corner of the wall. Baoguo Liu, Zhiyuan An, and Bai Xiao rushed in, and though they hadn’t seen anyone yet, Bai Xiao could already smell the blood filling the room, a scent so intense it was alarming.
Bai Xiao knew it was a bad sign, Liu Hong had encountered what she did in her past life – a severe hemorrhage.
There might still be a chance to save her; if Liu Hong died, Baoguo Liu and Li Chunmei would completely lose their minds.
Baoguo Liu immediately saw Liu Hong collapsed on the bed, her lower body covered with a bedsheet, but the flowery sheet was completely soaked in blood, the heavy staining blending with the flowers on it, each blooming gruesomely, as if sneering sinisterly at Baoguo Liu.
Baoguo Liu suddenly rushed over and grabbed Liu Hong’s hand, “Daughter, daughter, Hong, my daughter, why are you so foolish?”
When Liu Hong heard Baoguo Liu’s voice, she slightly opened her eyes. Bai Xiao saw the disperse look in her eyes, indicating that Liu Hong was breathing less and expiring more, a very bad sign indeed.
“Dad… Dad… I’m… sorry, next life… daughter will… be filial… to you!” Liu Hong’s intermittent words suddenly cut off in her throat, and her head tilted as she passed out.
Baoguo Liu frantically shook Liu Hong, “Hong, Hong, wake up, wake up, Dad will take you to the hospital, just you wait.” He was about to pick Liu Hong up when Bai Xiao stopped him with a firm grip.
Baoguo Liu’s eyes turned red, glaring at Bai Xiao. At this moment, anyone who hindered him from saving his daughter could be killed by him.
“Get out of the way!”
Bai Xiao sighed. She truly didn’t blame Baoguo Liu; this was a father, a father with a deep love for his daughter. No wonder in their former life, Baoguo Liu and Chunmei Li finally became feeble and listless; the two of them loved Liu Hong wholeheartedly.
“Uncle, even if you take Liu Hong to the hospital like this, it probably won’t work. The hospital is at least three hours away from here by car. Can Liu Hong hold on until then?”
Everyone had lost their reason.
Baoguo Liu turned back to look at Liu Hong; sorrow rose from his heart. Yes! This is Shili Shop, so far from the county town. Would she even have a breath left by the time we get there?
But to watch his own beloved daughter die right before his eyes, he couldn’t bear it.
Suddenly, Baoguo Liu turned around and knelt down before Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao, quick to react, pulled him up immediately.
She sighed, “Uncle, I’m here to save her. You should take everyone out; it’s not convenient with so many people here.” She had come to save a life; why should Baoguo Liu kneel down and beg her, also causing Baoguo Liu to possibly remember one day that she took advantage of his desperation.
Baoguo Liu gripped Bai Xiao’s hand tightly, “Xiao, Uncle has only this one daughter. I beg you, you must save her! If you save her, from now on, our Liu Family will do anything for you, I beg you.” At this moment, Bai Xiao was his only hope. Baoguo Liu couldn’t remember if he had felt this way when he was at Li Guoqing’s place, but now it seemed like if Bai Xiao didn’t agree, Liu Hong would lose her life immediately.
“Hurry and take her to the hospital, your daughter is bleeding profusely, she’ll run out of breath soon, stop making a fuss!” The man pressed against the wall shouted. He couldn’t bear the responsibility; if someone really died, he would be the one facing jail. The man was desperate.
At that moment, a crowd of people rushed in; after all, so many people suddenly bursting into their village late at night making such a commotion, the nearby neighbors and villagers couldn’t possibly be unaware, so the people in the village gathered to drive these intruders away.
“What are you doing? Breaking into a private home late at night, get out now, or don’t blame us for being rude.” The speaker was the village chief.
The man pressed in the corner saw the villagers as if seeing a lifesaver, “Chief, quick, call the doctor, this girl is bleeding profusely, she’s in bad shape!”
These words made the village chief’s heart quiver, realizing this was a matter of life and death.
“Xiaowu, quickly check on her, you are the village doctor, and you’re also a university student helping in the countryside, please check her,” he urged, knowing a life was at stake.
A nerdy-looking young man with glasses was pushed forward and hurried over to Liu Hong. Baoguo Liu was about to stop him, having just pleaded with Bai Xiao, and besides, he had witnessed Bai Xiao’s abilities. At this time, every minute delayed could harm his daughter.
The doctor checked the pulse and eyelids with practiced skill.
While examining, he shook his head, “It’s no use, she’s lost too much blood, she’s already in shock, our facilities here are inadequate, we must get her to a major hospital, otherwise she’s done for, I can barely feel a pulse now; even if we get her to the hospital, she… she…” Everyone fell silent.
With one kick, Baoguo Liu sent the man flying, not bothering to be nice about it. The four-eyed man fell to the ground, and some villagers hurriedly helped him up, “What are you doing? Speak if you want to speak! Why resort to hitting people?”
Bai Xiao looked at Baoguo Liu and nodded.
