Chapter 156 Malnutrition
Mu Wanwan squatted down and placed her fingers on Li's mother's pulse. Li's mother's arm was so thin that only skin and bones were left, but her pulse was still beating weakly.
Li's mother's face was pale, but she still had a breath.
"Your mother was severely malnourished, and coupled with hunger in the past, she fainted."
The patient now shows no signs of waking up and cannot be fed, otherwise he will choke.
At the moment, the only thing we can do is give her some glucose to maintain her strength.
"Boss, is there any way to save her?" Li Shu looked at Mu Wanwan anxiously, his eyes full of pleading.
"Miss Li, don't worry, I have a way. It's just that the current environment is not suitable for treatment. Our supermarket provides accommodation. You can bring the two of you into the store to apply for membership cards, and then arrange for accommodation." Although the environment requirements for infusion are not as high as those for surgery.
But the patient's body was too dirty, and there were all kinds of natural disasters in the ancient end times, so there might be some unknown germs.
"Okay, thank you, boss." When Li Shu heard Mu Wanwan say that she could save her mother, the heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"Dad, let's follow the boss into the store first. Trust me, there's nothing wrong with this store."
Father Li nodded, and he and Li Shu carefully carried Mother Li into the supermarket.
Si Yuan took out the spiritual spring water from the space button, and then took out a clean handkerchief to wipe Mu Wanwan's fingers one by one.
"Dad, do you and Mom have any valuable jewelry on you?" Li Shu explained the supermarket rules to his father.
Father Li hesitated for a moment, then took out a jade pendant from his pocket. This was the jade pendant that he and Mother Li had given as a token of their love.
Li Shu was stunned. She knew how important the jade pendant was to her father, but she also understood that the most important thing now was to save her mother.
"Ms. Li, you can transfer part of the money in your card to your parents' account." Xiaoyou reminded.
"No need...just deduct the money from this jade pendant. Thank you for your help, young lady." Father Li placed the jade pendant on the membership machine.
No matter how important this jade pendant is, it is not as important as Li's mother's life. Moreover, they are short of money now, and the money Shu'er has is not enough for the expenses of their family of three.
Li's mother is now in a coma, so only her fingerprint can be used to apply for a membership card.
The membership cards for the two people were quickly processed, and Xiaoyou booked two guest rooms for them.
The deeper they went into the supermarket, the brighter Li Fu and Li Shu's eyes became. There was white rice, fresh vegetables, and all kinds of fruits they had never seen before.
But he was not in the mood to go shopping at the moment, so he carried Li's mother upstairs to the room.
"This is your guest room. To open the door, just swipe your membership card on this black area." Xiaoyou explained.
"Okay, thank you, young lady." Father Li replied.
Mu Wanwan followed the three people into the room. After entering the room, Mu Wanwan turned on the light.
The sudden light startled the two of them. The big white bed was covered with a soft quilt. Li's father and Li Shu carefully placed Li's mother on the bed.
The three of them were all very dirty, and the bed was immediately stained. Li's father and Li Shu lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"Xiaoyou, go to the bathroom and get a basin of hot water." Xiaoyou took the washbasin that Li Shu had just bought and went to the bathroom to get a basin of hot water.
"Clean her arms first." Mu Wanwan said.
Xiaoyou dipped a towel in hot water and said, "Miss Xiaoyou, let me do it." Li Shu took the towel from Xiaoyou's hand.
This towel is different from the handkerchiefs they usually use. It is very thick but very soft.
Li Shu took a hot towel and gently wiped Li's mother's arm, fearing that he would hurt her.
Xiaoyou helped change the water two or three times before wiping the stains off Li's mother's arm.
Mu Wanwan took out the glucose from the space, wiped Li's mother's wrist clean with alcohol cotton, and then inserted the needle.
"This is an IV drip for your mother. She'll wake up soon, so don't worry," Mu Wanwan explained. "Stay here and call me when the water in this bottle is almost gone."
Father Li watched quietly from the side, his heart filled with worry. He had never seen a doctor treat like this before.
"Dad, go eat something. I'll stay here with Mom." Li Shu opened the chicken soup and rice he had just bought and asked his father to sit down.
There was a coffee table and two sofas in the guest room. Mr. Li was very dirty and was embarrassed to dirty the sofas.
He started eating while standing. Li Shu felt uncomfortable when he saw Li's father's reserved look.
Looks like I need to buy some clean clothes.
The takeout box produced by Star has an insulation function. After being delayed for so long, it is still steaming hot when I open it.
Father Li ate the white rice and drank the rich chicken soup. It had been so many years since he had eaten this!
He didn't care about his image and ate the rice in big mouthfuls. He didn't drink much chicken soup and just gnawed a few bones.
The chicken soup was to be saved for Li's mother to drink after she woke up. There wasn't much meat on the bones, but it still made him feel very satisfied after not having eaten meat for a long time.
"Miss Li, this is the light switch. Just press it here to turn it on." Xiaoyou pointed to the switch on the wall. Then he took Li Shu to the bathroom, explained how to use the toiletries in the bathroom, and demonstrated how to turn on and off the hot water.
Li Shu listened carefully, and was already shocked.
No wonder Miss Xiaoyou was able to fill several basins with hot water so quickly just now, it turns out that these things are so convenient.
"Sorry to bother you, Miss Xiaoyou." Li Shu bowed to Xiaoyou.
"You're welcome. Miss Li, feel free to call me if you need anything."
Li Shu sent Xiaoyou away, turned back to his mother's bedside, and gently held her hand. "Mom, you will definitely get better. We have found food now, and our lives will get better and better in the future."
"Shu'er, I'll keep watch." Father Li walked to the bed after finishing his meal. "You should go wash up properly too."
His daughter has loved beauty since she was young, but since the natural disaster, she has rarely been seen dressing up.
"Dad, I'll go downstairs to buy some clean clothes. When Mom wakes up, you should also wash them." Li Shu looked at the dirty clothes and touched his messy hair, feeling that he really should clean up.
"Miss Xiaoyou, are there any clothes for sale here?" Li Shu came to the first floor, wondering if the money in his membership card was enough to buy the clothes.
"Miss Li, please follow me." Xiaoyou took Miss Li to the clothing area.
This time she traveled to ancient times. Before coming, Mu Wanwan specially bought a large number of ancient costumes in Ruilan's clothing shop.
The fabrics are not particularly good, but are what ordinary people wear. They come in all styles and have everything from inside to outside.
Each piece of clothing has a price tag, and the most expensive one is only three hundred coins.
