The heavy rain came intermittently, lasting for a whole day and night. Finally, on the next morning, it stopped.
The sunlight pierced through the clouds, leaping out from the horizon and casting its glow upon the earth. The branches and leaves, washed by heavy rain, radiated a brilliant light. The air was refreshingly clean, carrying a fragrant scent that invigorated the soul.
In the damp cement pipe, a bulge moved and a fluffy little head emerged from inside.
Yi silently blinked her big eyes, feeling around in all directions. Finally, when she confirmed that the rain outside had stopped, she crawled out from under the covers.
"Brother Chen, it's not raining anymore. Hurry up and wake up," Yimo's face was streaked with black and white, like a little calico cat. She shook him for a while, but there was still no sign of Gu Zechen waking up.
"Chen Gege, Chen Gege!" Yi Mo couldn't wait for Gu Zechen to wake up, so she started crying loudly. After crying for a while, she climbed out of the cement pipe with her little short legs.
"Brother Chen, don't worry, Momo will go find a doctor." The cement pipe was quite high, and previously it was Gu Zechen who carried people down. However, this time, Yi Mo fell down from above. Thankfully, the ground had been softened by the rain, so she wasn't injured from the fall.
Ignoring the dirt and mud on her body, Yi Mo got up from the ground, wiped her face, and ran towards the direction she often went to.
Mrs. Zhou was thinking about Gu Zechen and Yi Mo. She wanted to bring them some food while the weather cleared up. She didn't know if these two ate anything yesterday.
Thinking about it, Aunt Zhou couldn't help but quicken her pace. Just as she turned the corner, she saw a little clay figure running towards her.
"Momo!" Aunt Zhou recognized the little clay figure in front of her as Yi Mo. Astonished, she barely managed to catch Yi Mo, who was about to run away uncontrollably.
"Momo, what's wrong? Where is your brother Chen?" Zhou Auntie looked behind Yi Mo and noticed that there was no sign of Gu Zechen. She asked anxiously.
"Mrs. Zhou, Chenge gege is sick, and I can't wake him up," she said, as tears welled up in her eyes and she started crying uncontrollably, her muddy face becoming even more pitiful.
"Let's go, take Aunt Zhou out and have a look!" If it wasn't for the fact that the family could barely support two children, Aunt Zhou really wanted to take the two children away. However, it was not possible. Their family could only barely afford to feed themselves.
Inside the hallway, Gu Zechen maintained his previous posture, his face turning intensely red. Even without making contact, he could feel the scorching heat radiating from this person's body.
Aiyo, if this keeps burning, my brain will go bad." Aunt Zhou thought for a moment, then asked I Mo to help her, dragging Gu Zechen to the entrance of the pipe, and then carrying him on her back.
"Momo, I'll take Chen gege to see the doctor. You stay here and wait, okay?"
"Aunt Zhou, I'm going too," Yi Mo said as she once again fell down from above and hurriedly followed behind. Aunt Zhou walked quickly, and Yi Mo could only jog in order to keep up.
There isn't a hospital here, only a small clinic, and it's closed.
Aunt Zhou knocked for quite a while before hearing the sound of rummaging inside. A voice came from within, "Who's there? What are you doing so early in the morning?"
"Wang Shu, quickly open the door, someone has a fever," Zhou's wife anxiously said. Even through two layers of clothing, she could still feel the scorching temperature emanating from Gu Zechen's body.
Wang Kui checked Gu Zechen's body temperature and asked Yimo a few questions. He touched his beard and shook his head, then took a while before finally saying, "There's nothing serious, as long as the fever subsides. However, whether it will affect his intelligence, I don't know."
