He would leave nothing behind but a mound of soil and pieces of memories. After all, he would die away in the long course of history, just like everyone else.
She stepped on the accelerator again, speeding up the car and leaving the place. Under the glare of the street lights, the road in front seemed quiet and deserted. A flurry of snow began to fall.
Why is it snowing again?
Yan Huan continued to drive. Under the street lights, the falling snow could be clearly seen. Previously, she had thought that the snow had stopped for good, but it was now snowing. The snowflakes fell slowly, gradually covering up the bloodstains on the side of the road. The snow seeped into the blood, and the blood blended into the snow. Eventually, the snow piled up and the blood vanished under the blanket of frost. The whole world was once again silent and pure, the land covered in thick snow.
Yan Huan stopped the car and came out of it. She then wrapped her coat tighter around herself and ran into the Classical Garden. As expected, Old Master Lu was still there.
“You’re back?” Old Master Lu raised his eyes. “Why are you so late?”
“Well, there’s a traffic jam as someone had gotten into an accident,” said Yan Huan as she rubbed her hands together. As soon as she came in, her whole body began to warm up. However, her fingers were suffering from frostbite and were now hurting. They were swollen and painful. Thus, she was looking forward to spring, so that her hands would not continue to suffer.
“Ask the housekeeper for some food. You’re really good at making people worry.” After saying that, Old Master Lu stood up and went back to his room to rest. “Youngsters nowadays are so inconsiderate. How can such an adult still make a senior citizen worry for her like this?”
Yan Huan rubbed her hands together again. At that moment, her heart felt warm, even though the snow out there was cold. In fact, there were still a lot of people in this world who cared about her.
Meanwhile, she did not know that the hospital was a mess. It looked like the aftermath of a vicious battle.
“Doctor He, the patient is suffering from extensive blood loss. He needs an immediate blood transfusion.”
Following that, the emergency doctor urged, “Please prepare the blood immediately.”
“I got it,” He Yibin had put on his surgical gown and was ready to carry out the surgery. When the nurse came over to carry out a blood test, He Yibin extended his hand and stopped her. There was no need for a test.
“His blood type is RH-negative AB, and we still have enough of it stored in the blood bank.”
He accidentally saw it today. Since Lu Yi had such a rare blood type, thus he had always kept tabs on it. He had looked through their blood reserves today and found out that there was still this type of blood kept in store. This guy was indeed lucky. Even the flood could not bring him away, and hence it was impossible for such a small accident to do him in.
Furthermore, that guy was still conscious when he was sent here. This proved that there was no internal damage to his head. As long as the head was not damaged, fractures and other injuries were just a small matter, as they would recover.
When the nurse heard this, she quickly ran out to get the blood.
However, she came back after a while.
“Doctor He, there is no blood left.”
“What are you saying? No blood?” He Yibin’s voice suddenly turned irascible, “How can there be no blood? There are no patients with such a blood type in the hospital. Even if there is, I will be notified in advance. How can there be no blood within such a short period of time?”
“There is indeed no blood left,” the nurse was also anxious. “There was a patient with thalassemia who came over for a blood transfusion.”
“Thalassemia?”
He Yibin frowned. “Talk to them and see whether they can let us use the blood first. After all, we are here to save people’s lives. It’s still acceptable for them to skip the blood transfusion for a day or two.”
“Okay,” the nurse agreed as she ran out again. However, she came back after a while, empty-handed.
“Doctor He, what can we do? They disagreed with it.”
“They disagreed?” He Yibin took off his mask. “Have you told them that they will not encounter any problems even if they don’t undergo the blood transfusion today, tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow? Our blood storage will arrive in a short time. They can still afford to wait for another two or three days, but the patient here can’t even wait for half an hour. If there is no blood, Lu Yi, this man right here, will die due to excessive bleeding.”
“I’ve told them about this!” The nurse was so anxious that she almost cried, “I have repeated that a lot of times, so much that even my mouth is going to be worn out. The doctors on that side are also helping me. But, the patient just refused to do so.”
“I will go check it out.” He Yibin threw his mask away and quickly walked out. No matter what, he must bring the blood back. Otherwise, Lu Yi’s life would really end here.
He strode to the room and walked straight in without knocking on the door.
“Sorry, I…”
However, he felt unhappy as soon as he saw the people in the room. Why must it be them?
He looked back and saw the nurse who ran in after him. “They’re the ones insisting on using the blood?” he asked again, as he could not believe it. “It’s really them?”
The nurse quickly nodded, “Yes, Doctor He. It’s them. The one using the blood is Miss Su.”
The volume of the nurse was getting softer as she spoke.
He Yibin’s gaze fixed on the blood bag. With his current eyesight, he could clearly identify that the blood type written on the blood bag was RH-negative AB type.
Another person with that rare blood type. Anyway, it was clear that both Su Muran and Lu Qin would be more than happy to stand aside and watch Lu Yi die. After all, the grudge between Lu Qin and Lu Yi had formed since their early days.
If it was any other person instead of them, he could still persuade them to give up a little blood. However, if it was Lu Qin, then he really had no confidence in persuading him, not to mention anything about brotherhood. Even though Lu Qin and Lu Yi were brothers and cousins, they held no affection toward each other. Perhaps, it was better to say that they treated each other as enemies.
“Lu Qin, I have something to tell you,” he took a step forward. Anyhow, they had to try.
Lu Qin calmly raised his eyes and glanced at He Yibin. “You want the blood?”
“Yes,” He Yibin nodded. “Your brother had gotten into an accident and he needs blood. You should have known about his rare blood type. Thus, can you please give us some blood?”
Lu Qin slightly raised the corner of his lips. He was neither worried nor anxious. Since there was no brotherly bond between him and Lu Yi, it was ridiculous that they expected him to do them this favor. He wanted Lu Yi to die like this. Why would he want him to be alive? To continue being an obstacle in his way?
Lu Yi should have died long ago. Nevertheless, he was really tough, so much so that even the flood did not kill him. But now, he should be dead. How could a person be so lucky all the time? It was impossible for a person to get all the good luck.
“Lu Qin.” He Yibin continued to cajole, “It’s a matter involving life and death, so can you please put your personal grudges aside? It is more important to save him. Moreover, he is not someone else. He is your big brother.”
