Chapter 396: The Barbed Wire Specializes in Selecting Pieces to Finish (Ch 396)

Feeling that something was wrong, Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan came to the hospital where the little girl went in.

As soon as the two entered the door, a figure holding a mobile phone followed them in.

Linlin looked at the number of people online in the live broadcast room. At this time, there were more than 10,000 people, and the barrage area urged,

“Hurry up, host!”

“Wow, this is indeed my favorite couple. They both have such kind hearts.”

“Brother, I see that you have such a good heart. I admit that you are indeed worthy of Zhang Ruonan.”

“Ah!!! The little girl is so pitiful. I hope Qi Bao and Zhang Bao can help her.”

“…”

Linlin followed the two people in front of her closely, with an excited look on her face. She felt that she was going to become completely famous tonight!

“Hello, where did the kid who was carrying this woven bag go?”

Although it was late at night, the lights were still on in the hospital. People were coming and going to register and pay their fees. The smell of disinfectant filled the air.

After Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan came in, the little girl disappeared.

As I was looking around, I saw the familiar woven bag behind the security guard at the door.

The thin security guard looked at the young couple who were asking for directions with caution. Although they were both wearing hats and masks, they looked like they were not bad people. So he pointed at them.

“Take the elevator to the third floor and ask the nurse at the desk. She will tell you.”

“Thank you.” Qi Jia nodded to him and took Zhang Ruonan to the third floor in the elevator.

In the elevator, besides them, there were several men and women who were probably family members, all in their thirties or forties.

Some people were looking at diagnosis forms they couldn’t understand, some were looking at bills, and some were staring at the elevator door silently, wondering what they were thinking.

Everyone is doing different things, but the same thing is that everyone has a sad look on their face.

Arriving at the third floor, the two followed the crowd out of the elevator.

Qi Jia noticed that after getting out of the elevator, some people forced a smile on their originally sad faces.

Zhang Ruonan walked to the nurse’s desk and asked politely,

“Hello, nurse. I would like to ask if there is a little girl with a woven bag living on this floor?”

The nurse on duty was about 20 years old. She was filling out something. When she heard someone asking, she didn’t rush. She only looked up after she finished and looked at the two people in confusion.

“Who are you?”

The nurse’s tone was a little stiff and not very friendly, but Qi Jia didn’t care, so he repeated what had just happened to her.

“So that’s how it is.” After hearing this, the nurse’s expression softened and her tone became less harsh.

She walked out of the nurse’s station and said to the two, “Come with me, I’ll take you there.”

Qi Jia pulled Zhang Ruonan and followed with a serious look.

Judging from the attitudes of the nurse and the security guard, they were obviously very familiar with the little girl. The security guard even helped her look after the bottles she had picked up.

This can only mean one thing, that the little girl has probably been in the hospital for quite some time.

The young nurse stopped in front of a ward, opened the door and walked in.

There were three beds in the ward. A woman in her forties was lying on the left bed, an old man in his sixties was lying on the middle bed, and the one on the right was empty.

Hearing the door open, the two people on the bed looked over.

His gaze only stayed on the nurse for a moment, then shifted to Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan.

“Uncle, where is Xiao Bai?” The nurse walked up to the old man and asked,

As soon as he finished speaking, a head popped out from the balcony outside. It was the little girl.

“Sister Nurse, are you looking for me?”

After she asked, she saw Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan, her eyes lit up, and she shouted happily,

“Brother and sister, why are you here?”

As she was talking, she came in from the balcony, her arms covered with foam, probably from washing clothes.

Seeing that the three people really knew each other, the young nurse was relieved. She could see that these two people were definitely not ordinary people. If they could help, maybe the little girl’s illness could be cured.

“Then I’ll go back first. Call me if you have anything else.” The nurse said to Qi Jia.

“Wait a minute.” Qi Jia glanced at the little girl who was happily talking to Zhang Ruonan, and walked out the door with her before asking in a low voice, “What disease does she have?”

“In the late stage of uremia, one kidney has died.”

Qi Jia was shocked and frowned as he asked, “What about her family? Don’t they care about her?”

Unexpectedly, the nurse pointed at the old man.

“That’s her grandfather, her only relative. He was also admitted here last year due to a stroke.”

The nurse’s plain words were like a sledgehammer, hitting Qi Jia’s heart hard, causing him to feel a pain in his chest.

No matter how rational he was at this moment, he couldn’t help but feel a sore nose and hot eyes.

“Then how do they usually pay for their hospitalization and their daily living expenses?”

“The government has provided them with a minimum living allowance of 600 yuan per month, and the hospital has also reduced some of their expenses. Xiao Bai also goes out to pick up bottles and sell them for money.”

The nurse didn’t finish her words, but Qi Jia knew that this amount of money was definitely not enough. Judging from the little girl’s figure, it must have been caused by malnutrition for a long time.

“Do you have anything else you want to ask?” The nurse asked when she saw Qi Jia didn’t say anything.

“You just called her Xiaobai, what’s her name?”

“Chen Selaginella”

Chen Juanbai? Why does this name sound like a boy’s name? The nurse saw Qi Jia’s confusion and explained.

“This is the name she gave herself. Selaginella, also known as the Nine-Death Resurrection Grass, is a Chinese medicinal herb.”

Qi Jia’s heart trembled, and he said to the nurse: “I understand, thank you.”

“Yes,” the nurse responded and was about to leave. Suddenly, she turned around and asked hesitantly,

“You will help her, right?”

Seeing Qi Jia nodded seriously, she left with peace of mind.

When passing through the corridor, I saw a sexy young woman sitting on a chair, holding a cell phone, and looking over here.

“What do you do?” the nurse asked stiffly.

Linlin had already seen the ward where Qi Jia was. Facing the nurse’s reply, she said calmly,

“Can’t I just sit here and wait for someone?”

The young nurse looked at her suspiciously, didn’t find anything wrong, warned her not to take pictures recklessly, and then left.

As soon as she walked away, Linlin immediately rushed to the door, holding up her phone and scratching her head anxiously. She wanted to go in and take a look, but she couldn’t find a reason.

At this time, since Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan disappeared from the live broadcast room, the number of online people dropped sharply, from more than 10,000 to more than 1,000, and it is still decreasing.

Just as she was racking her brains to think of a way to get in, a phone call suddenly came in.

When she found out it was the operation of her own MCN, she immediately picked up the call.

“Did you capture Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan during the live broadcast?” the person on the other end of the line asked anxiously.

Linlin nodded excitedly: “Yes, it’s a pity that we can’t take pictures now.”

After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, he said decisively,

“Stop the live broadcast immediately, cut out the live broadcasts about Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan, and publish them using your own account. The company will help you subscribe to Douyin.”

Linlin’s eyes lit up immediately, and she agreed without even thinking about it.

After hanging up the phone, she took another photo of the ward number and planned to come back tomorrow to check, maybe there would be any follow-up.

After leaving the hospital, Linlin prepared to take a taxi home to edit the slices.

When I got to the intersection, I saw a black Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle parked on the side of the road. Two girls about my age were standing next to the car, talking on the phone and looking around.

Linlin looked at it enviously and wondered when she would have the chance to afford it.

Liu Yiran glanced at Linlin casually, then turned his attention back to the WeChat chat interface with Qi Jia, confirmed the location again, scratched his head,

“Strange, the location is correct, why is there no one there?”
