When the autumn wind blows, the locust tree will drop its leaves all over the ground, and when there is only one branch, it will be winter.Not long into winter, Xie Tian caught a cold. When I went to see him, he was still washing clothes, and his forehead was scorchingly hot.

I hurriedly dug out the cold medicine I brought him earlier and asked him to take it and sleep.Unexpectedly, he slept until the afternoon, his forehead was getting hotter and hotter, and his body was getting colder and colder. I covered him with the quilt for a long time, but it still couldn't keep him warm.I had no choice but to carry him to the hospital.

I didn't know the way, so I asked around to find a small clinic before dark.The doctor asked me to put the patient down, and I did so, and then he saw Xie Tian's face clearly, and retracted the hand that was about to take the pulse.Said: "We can't save this child. Take him away."

I said he just had a cold and a fever, you just need to prescribe some medicine.

The doctor waved his hands and said that he couldn't save him, got up and walked into the inner room, Xie Tian's little dog jumped forward, bit his trousers and dragged him out, and was kicked away by him.

We were kicked out.Before I could stand still, the door slammed shut.The little flower dog yelled at the door, but the door didn't budge.

It was already dark at that time, and the lights in the clinic behind me were on, but I still couldn't see the road in front of me, and I didn't know where to go.

Xie Tian on his back was so burned that he was a little delirious. He woke up and fell asleep. He would ask me where I was when I was awake. It's hot.I was afraid that he would be cold, so I took off my coat and wrapped it around him.

After that, I paid a high price and finally found a tricycle to go to the hospital. I hugged Xie Tian the whole time, and no one recognized him.The hospital is not big, and it looks like a regular hospital.

I didn't want to say that Xie Tian had AIDS, but when I was asked if I had any medical history, I still told the truth.

The doctor paused and asked me to wait outside, saying that Xie Tian's illness was a bit special and he needed to discuss it with several other doctors.After waiting for more than ten minutes, I got some medicines for cold and fever, and said I could go.

I asked if it was time to check.

They said it was unnecessary, it was just a high fever.

Didn't you just say that you need to draw blood and get an injection?

The doctor hesitated for a long time, saying that AIDS patients are special, so please don't mess around.

After we came out, it started to rain, so I called Zheng Lin and asked him to pick us up.

Xie Tian fell asleep after taking the medicine. I sat down on the steps at the entrance of the hospital, wrapped him in my clothes and held him in my arms, so as not to let him get wet in the rain.It was raining heavily when Zheng Lin arrived, and he was still in his pajamas.

He walked up to me with an umbrella and asked, "Are you crying?"

I wiped the water off my face: "No, rain."

The water dripped down his face and onto his body, it was bone-chillingly cold and heart-chilling.

I know it's not just rain.

When we arrived at Chengdu No.1 People's Hospital, Xie Tian was transferred to the intensive care unit, and Zheng Lin and I were guarding him by the bedside.After tossing all night, it was already dawn when Xie Tian's fever subsided.

Maybe because it was cloudy, there was no light at dawn.
