For a long time, Qiu Tong's body began to turn, began to gently shake off the snowflakes, lowered his head for a long time, wiped his cheeks with his hands from time to time, and then slowly turned around and began to look for me. It seemed that he had just returned to reality from illusion.

I walked to Qiu Tong and approached Qiu Tong. Although she had wiped her cheeks, I could still see the wet tears on her face, as well as the sadness and melancholy that had not been healed

I bit my lips tightly, tried to control my emotions, and smiled at Qiu Tong: "President Qiu, is the Olympic Sailing Base in the snow good-looking? Is the sea beautiful in the snow? "

Qiu Tong nodded slightly and said softly, "good-looking, beautiful!"

Obviously, Qiu Tong's answer is perfunctory and absent-minded.

"President Qiu, I was standing here just now. It seems that I heard you shouting something? It seems to be a name. What's your name, guest? Are you calling someone? " I suddenly said to Qiu Tong.

Qiu Tong's body trembled and her facial expression twitched slightly. She seemed to realize that she had forgotten my existence and where I stood just now. She looked up at me: "your hearing is good. What guest? Where did I shout? I was just stimulated by the cold wind. I coughed twice... Coughed. "

"Oh... Well, I thought you were shouting someone!" I said.

"There's no one around here except you. Who else can I call?" Qiu Tong gave me a lonely look and said, "I want to go back... I don't want to visit again."

As she said, Qiu Tong went straight back and made a slight click on the snow, accompanied by her sigh.

I followed in the direction of the hotel.

We cut back to the hotel and crossed a curved road. None of the roads in the old urban area of Qingdao runs north-south, east-west, or straight. They are all winding. Many intersections are not intersections, but three, five, six or even seven. The roads are not wide. Many are one-way streets.

There are few pedestrians on the road, and the wind and snow are still raging. Qiu Tong and I are walking on the road, but we don't want to see the scenery. We keep silent with our minds.

Suddenly, Qiu Tong stopped and looked straight at the direction of the ATM across a bank

I looked down Qiu Tong's eyes and vaguely saw a dark thing. It seemed that someone was lying there.

"President Qiu, you --" I looked at Qiu Tong and said.

"On such a cold day, lying outside will freeze to death -" Qiu Tong said, "look, there is a man lying on the ground."

"Either a tramp or a drunk." I said.

"The severe winter in the north is fatal to tramps and drunks. Many people freeze to death outdoors every year." Qiu Tong sighed, suddenly frowned again, raised his feet and walked across the road.

"President Qiu, you have to help him -" I followed.

"Well... You see, this is not a drunk, this is a tramp. It seems that there is a child lying next to him!" Qiu Tong said as he walked.

While talking, we crossed the road and walked to the ATM. Sure enough, it was a tramp with wrinkles and beard. The beard on his chin was very long and old. He was wrapped in a black quilt with cotton wool, and lay there motionless.

In his arms, there was a child about 4-5 years old. His hair looked like a girl and his face was covered with dirt. The child was lying in the arms of the old man, covered with a thin rotten quilt, shivering with cold, coughing from time to time. Next to him was a porcelain bowl with a piece of rice ball frozen into ice and several pickles

Near them is the brightly lit high-end hotel, which is full of laughter, singing and dancing, drinking and preparation, and people come and go. However, no one will look up at the tramp with a little girl, and no one will even stop to give them some food

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and the road is frozen to death. I deeply appreciate this.

Qiu Tong walked over a few steps, squatted beside the old man and the child, first reached out and touched the child's forehead, startled: "it's hot, the child has a high fever!" Qiu Tong said a word, and suddenly opened the zipper of his down jacket, opened the quilt, and took out the ragged child. Regardless of the child's dirty dirt, he took the child into his arms, wrapped the down jacket tightly and held the child tightly

I looked down at the old man, reached out and gently pushed his arm: "Grandpa, Grandpa, wake up -"

The old man didn't move at all. He seemed frozen.

"Children, is this your grandpa?" Qiu Tong asked the girl while holding the child to keep warm.

The girl kept coughing and said vaguely, "my grandpa is ill... My grandpa is dying... Aunt, please help my grandpa."

Hearing the child's crisp, tender and helpless voice, my eyes were wet immediately, and tears gushed out of Qiutong's face immediately.

I knelt down, reached out and touched the old man's nostrils. I tried my pulse again. It seemed that there was a weak beat and breathing.

I said to Qiu Tong, "her grandfather seems to be breathing and can be saved."

"You call 120 and send them to the hospital. The child is also having a high fever!" Qiu Tong said hurriedly, hugging the child and comforting: "good boy, good boy, uncle and aunt, I'll take you to the hospital. Your grandfather won't die, won't."

I hurried out my cell phone and called 120. It will be through soon.

"Next to ATM machine 42 Zhongshan Road, there is an old man and a child. The old man is dying and the child has a high fever." I said hastily.

"Are you their relative?" Asked a female voice over there.

"I'm passing by. They're tramps." Before I finished, I said, "then call the civil affairs department. We are hospitals. If tramps can't afford medical expenses, you can find the civil affairs department to help."

I suddenly got angry and yelled: "if you don't send an ambulance, I'll go to the news unit to expose you tomorrow. If you don't believe it, you can try -- hurry up and send an ambulance. I'll pay for the doctor --"

I don't know whether it was because someone paid or was frightened by the threat I wanted to expose. The other side immediately replied, "OK, let's go to the ambulance -"

After hanging up the phone, I sat on the ground, half picked up the old man, took off my cotton padded clothes and put them on him, then let him lean against my arms and shouted to him, "Grandpa, wake up -- wake up --"

After shouting for a while, the old man's body suddenly moved, and then his lips began to wriggle.

I hurriedly put my ears close to his mouth, and Qiutong squatted down with the child and approached him.

"Good man... Good man... Please save the child." The old man said intermittently in a weak voice. His eyes slightly opened a gap and looked at me and Qiutong.

"Grandpa, don't worry, we'll save you and the child now, and the ambulance will arrive soon -" Qiu Tong said, holding the old man's left hand, and my hand is holding the old man's right hand.

The old man's hands were cold. It seemed that the blood was no longer flowing, and the breath of life was getting farther and farther away from him.

"Good man... Thank you... I... I can't... I can't survive this winter." The old man's voice became weaker and weaker: "this child... This child... I picked it up in the dustbin when I was picking up waste in Xinghai five years ago and was thrown away... I took this child to beg for food and wander everywhere... Xinghai is too cold this winter to endure, so I took the child all the way south begging to find a warm place to spend the winter... Unexpectedly, I just arrived here, It was a snowstorm. "

Hearing this, I was heartbroken. The child had such a similar fate with Qiu Tong. He was an abandoned orphan.

Look at Qiu Tong. Tears are pouring in and his body is shaking.

"Good man... Please pity my old man. Please take the child in and save the child... The child's name is Xiaoxue. It snowed all over the sky the day I found her." The old man's voice became lower and lower. Suddenly there was no sound. Then his head tilted, closed his eyes and died.

"Grandpa - grandpa -" the child in Qiu Tong's arms screamed and burst into tears, powerlessly waving her thin little arm. This is her only family member and source of warmth in the world for five years, and all the support of life in her young heart. Now, how sad the child's heart should be when the only family member leaves her.

"Grandpa - grandpa -" I shook the old man's body, but there was no response.

The old man's body finally became cold. On this ruthless snowy night, after experiencing the hardships of the world, he gave up.

Qiu Tong held the child tightly in one hand and the old man's cold and stiff hand in the other. His body shook violently and was extremely hurt

Soon, the ambulance arrived and came down with some white coats.

Qiu Tong hurried to get on the bus with Xiaoxue in his arms. I asked several white coats to carry the old man on the stretcher. A doctor like man reached out his hand to touch the old man's nostrils, tried his pulse and said, "don't carry it. He's dead. Throw it here and wait for the civil affairs department to deal with it at dawn!"

Then the doctor stood up and left.

"No, he's not dead. He's still alive. You can carry him up -" Qiu Tong shouted in the car: "doctor, please, the old man was talking just now."

"When Mingming is dead, you have to talk and pull him to us. Do you want to improve the mortality of our hospital?" The doctor looked at Qiu Tong unhappily and said coldly.

I stood up at once and held the doctor's arm behind me. The doctor was startled and looked at me: "Hey - what are you doing?"

"Carry the old man into the car!" I looked at the doctor fiercely: "margobi, if you dare say 'no' again, I'll abolish you immediately!"

As I said this, the doctor cried out in pain and didn't dare to say anything. He quickly ordered the people to carry the old man on a stretcher, get on the bus and rush to the hospital.

When she got to the hospital, Qiu Tong went straight to the emergency room with her child. Several nurses and I carried the old man into the emergency room for rescue.

The old man really died and was already out of breath. The doctor soon came to this conclusion.

The old man's body was sent to the morgue, which I accompanied myself.

Then, I found Qiu Tong. Xiaoxue was diagnosed with acute pneumonia caused by fever. The fever reached 41 degrees. His heart power had begun to fail and he was in a coma.

The hospital quickly began to rescue Xiaoxue. Soon, I hung up the bottle and gave a fever reduction needle. Then I went to go through the hospitalization procedures and paid the hospitalization deposit.

Qiu Tong listened to me and said nothing about the old man. He sighed deeply.

Then, Qiu Tong looked at Xiaoxue lying on the hospital bed, who was infusion. After watching for a long time, he suddenly leaned over and put his face close to Xiaoxue's face, motionless

Looking at Qiu Tong's move, my heart trembled and moved

This night, Qiu Tong and I didn't go back to the hotel. We were together in the ward with Xiaoxue. Qiu Tong held Xiaoxue in his arms and sat against the head of the bed.
