Curse of the Eye of the Dead

Chapter 17

On school days, because Chacha’s stroller will pick up people at around 07:30, Uso will go out early, deliver hot and fresh breakfast and lunch boxes to Fuhei’s house at seven o’clock sharp, and then go home quickly.

The dinner was delivered around [-] pm, and the lunch box was picked up the next morning.

If it is a weekend off day, breakfast and lunch will be delivered separately, and Mr. Curse Spirit will visit once more.

Breakfast at seven in the morning, lunch at twelve noon, and dinner at six in the afternoon.

Because they are not limited to the condition of eating at school, the meals prepared for them on weekends will be more substantial, often accompanied by delicious handmade desserts that need to be refrigerated.

It can be said that except for the first few days when they didn't get used to it and reached a tacit understanding, the balance between the two children of Fuhei's family and Mr. Cursing Spirit has always been maintained very well.

The time for them to put out bento and collect bento boxes is very fixed. Even if there is a delay in something, they will explain in advance through sticky notes.

Fu Heihui no longer walks alone at night to buy special ingredients at the fresh food supermarket far away.

Tsumiki no longer stepped on a short chair, and carefully started cooking for herself and her younger brother at an immature age.

As a result, even the neighbors who had some doubts about the situation of the Fukuro family, and who were somewhat skeptical about Megumi and Tsumiki's statement that "Mom went to work, so she is busy during the day and is not at home", all withdrew their attention.

Uno has become a habit of remote feeding, and even thinks there is nothing wrong with going on like this... until the reality slaps him.

Generally speaking, taking care of children is not that easy, at least not just feeding and chatting.

Especially as an adult, he couldn't [show up] for various reasons, and he didn't see those two children directly often, and those two children were different from Chacha who completely trusted and relied on him, they liked to report good news and not bad news sensible character.

Children who are only six or seven years old, especially those who have not been carefully cared for by their guardians before... will always have weaker resistance.

.

weekend.

Twelve o'clock at night.

It was already time for the two children of Fuhei's family to go to bed obediently.

Tsumiki has a fever.

She had a terrible headache, her whole body was aching, she was sweating non-stop, and she was abruptly woken up from her sleep.

Getting out of bed in a daze, Tsumiki staggered towards the kitchen with a flushed face.She can't think about her own situation in her head anymore, she just feels uncomfortable, and has a vague consciousness that she is sick.But because there is no adult in this family who can confide and rely on, and as the eldest sister, she doesn't want to make the younger Hui worry, so she didn't say anything.

She just wanted to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water to drink, and to look through the thermometer and medicines in the medicine cabinet at home.

But she obviously overestimated her situation.

With a weak and limp body, he staggered out and only got a glass of water. Before he could drink it, he fell to the ground because of dizziness.

"Clap-"

The glass fell to the ground, and there was a loud noise in the silent home.

Megumi who fell asleep in the other room was suddenly awakened.

He widened his green eyes vigilantly, pricked up his ears and listened for a while, but did not hear any further movement.

If Tsumiji accidentally broke something when he came out, he would definitely go to get a broom to clean it now, and there would definitely be subtle footsteps and movements of cleaning up the debris.

Nothing now.

Fu Heihui immediately became nervous.

He turned over and got out of bed, raised his hand to summon the two big dogs, touched the black one, and told him to go to Tsumiki's room, while he himself took the white one to the direction where the sound came from .

Then, Hui's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Tsu Miki!"

He hastily turned on the light, and ran over to pick up the upper body of the girl who fell on the ground, letting her head rest on his lap.

Kei reached out and touched Tsumiki's forehead, her face turned pale from the exaggerated temperature.

.

In Japan, private clinics are the first consideration when seeing a doctor.

Internal medicine, pediatrics, ENT, dentistry... The main responsibilities of each private clinic are very detailed, and you can basically find them all.Therefore, ordinary people seldom go to those large hospitals that are relatively remote from residential areas to see a doctor.Unless you need to be hospitalized or have a serious illness.

However, the convenience of private clinics in Japan is not very high.

Doctors are basically only open until 1 pm, and get off work after [-] pm. If the general working party and overtime party want to see a doctor, most of them can only ask for leave.On weekends, the doors are not even open, and even if they are open, most of them are only open in the morning. *[-]

Therefore, between the time when the doctor is off work and at night, if you need to see a doctor anyway, you can only choose to go to an emergency center or a large hospital.

However, the remaining two options are still unfriendly to Hui.

He is so young that he will definitely be asked to contact a parent.

Especially in situations like nighttime emergencies.

He couldn't use the excuse of [parents are at work so he brought his sister to see a doctor] to get away with it. It might be possible to go to the clinic during the day, but it is definitely not possible to go to the emergency room at night.Of course, you will not be refused treatment, but you will definitely be asked to receive it from your parents.

If the parents cannot be found, the hospital will take the initiative to contact the two of them and report to the police, and then they will be sent to the orphanage by the child protection mechanism.

Drag it until daytime?

Megumin took Tsumiki's temperature, and instantly dismissed the thought.

40.2 degrees.

It is no longer a level that can be generalized by a simple fever, but a high fever that will leave serious sequelae if you are not careful.

Hui couldn't care about anything.

The big hospital was too far away, and there was no way to go there without an adult, and it was too late to wait for the ambulance to come, so Hui took the lead in choosing the emergency center. He called to make an appointment according to the procedure, and after a hasty explanation of the situation, he carried Tsumiki, Taking all the money in the family, he sent his sister there with his small and immature body.

.

Unlike daytime outpatient clinics, Japan's nighttime emergency centers have limited facilities and generally cannot perform in-depth inspections, but only for emergency treatment.

Fortunately for Hui only, it was not too busy tonight, so Tsumiji got the diagnosis immediately.

The doctor on duty was also taken aback by Tsumiji's body temperature.

Compared with Hui's temperature at home, it is now a little higher.

They hurriedly carried the little girl in for emergency treatment, while Hui, who was panting all the way, was taken to the service desk by the nurse.

"...This body temperature is too scary!"

The nurse muttered worriedly, and knelt down to communicate with the patient's little family members.

"Kid, where are your parents?"

"My sister and I are in a single-parent family. My mother works night shift and has to stay up all night. I can't make it now, but I have already contacted her."

Fu Heihui's face and forehead were covered with hot sweat, and his face was still flushed physiologically after exercise. He said the excuse he had thought of long ago.

"Please don't worry, I have enough money with me to register the medical records for Tsumiji."

The nurse frowned: "However, your sister's situation is really urgent, so I still asked the parents to come over..."

"She can't spare no matter what."

Hui said as sincerely as possible, trying his best to act awkward and bewildered, but he is obviously not very good at acting, his small face is tense, but because of his age advantage, he vividly expresses the impression of a sensible child in a single-parent family: "Mom It's hard to find a job, so..."

The nurse was at a loss for words.

Most single mothers in Japan live in poverty and are vulnerable to job discrimination, and it is almost impossible to find a formal job. They can only work as low-paid temporary workers. It is very difficult to maintain their lives.She probably knows a thing or two about this.

She sighed: "Then go register with me first, and then give me your mother's mobile phone number..." She wanted to communicate with her parents as much as possible, but she couldn't really treat this little guy in front of her as a patient's family member Bar?

Hearing this, Fu Heihui's body tensed up.

Mother's phone number?

His stepmother had changed her cell phone number a long time ago, so she couldn't be reached at all.

How to do?

Who should I call?

Fu Heihui broke out in a cold sweat, and his hands and feet became cold.

Just at this time, another nurse from the diagnosis room came out.

She interrupted their conversation and explained the situation to the nurse in a low voice.

"Suspect it's seasonal flu?"

"Ah, the doctor said that the child should be observed here and transferred to a special hospital for testing after daytime."

"Then you have to contact the parents!" The nurse covered her mouth and exclaimed.

Fu Heihui, who was racking his brains, quickly took the opportunity to speak: "My mother has already said that she will come over immediately after get off work during the day. Before that, my sister is counting on you!"

The nurse hesitated for a long time, and finally gave in, no longer obsessed with contacting the parents of the child now, "No way, let's wait until daytime, go to register the basic information first, and the bill of payment has come out, I will take you to pay... "

Fu Heihui, who lied temporarily, reluctantly nodded and gave the money. The nurse obviously relaxed a little.

She had to admit that just now she was a little worried that the child would not be able to pay for the medical expenses.

The money is enough, and other things are pretty easy to talk about.

Hui sat in a chair outside Tsumiki's ward in a daze.The nurse brought him a small blanket so that he could have a rest, Kei just thanked him politely, then continued to keep his head down and distracted.

Day... not long left.

Where was he going to find a grown-up to pick them up who could help conceal the fact that they were orphans without guardians?

Is there no one to choose?

No, it is not.

In fact, there is a candidate [as long as Hui is willing to ask for help, he will definitely get a response].

That "Mr. Air".

After Fu Heihui noticed that Tsumiji had a fever, he immediately thought of him.

He and Tsumiki are very fond of "Mr. Air".

Even the slightly twisted Fu Heihui couldn't deny this.

But just because I like it so much, I don't want to cause more trouble to the other party.

Unless it is an emergency, neither Kei nor Tsumiki will take the initiative to trouble the other party.

But Hui had no choice.

That gentleman... is the only lifeline for the helpless Fuhei siblings.

He took a deep breath, and borrowed a mobile phone from the nurse on the pretext of "contacting his father".

"If you call, is there a landline over there?"

"I don't have my father's phone number, only my email address." Fu Heihui made up a lie in a low voice: "I want to try sending an email. If he can see it, maybe he can come and pick me up and pick up my sister earlier."

I don't know why "Mr. Air", who was unwilling to leave his mobile phone number, gave his e-mail number as a contact information to the two children.

Hui didn't know if the gentleman would be able to see the message when it was almost one o'clock in the evening, but he tried anyway.

[I am Fu Hei Hui. ]

[Jin Meiji has a fever, and is now receiving treatment in the emergency center of XXX Street. The doctor said that it may be seasonal flu, and she needs to be picked up by her parents tomorrow morning, and Jin Meiji will be sent to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. ]

[Please, please help us, we need an adult to help with the formalities. ]

After Hui sent the email, she pursed her lips and deleted the history, then returned the phone to the nurse.

Email is nothing like a phone call.

Can the gentleman see it soon?

Fu Heihui was sitting in Jin Meiji's ward, holding the blanket that the nurse kindly brought him in his arms, full of anxiety.

.

the other side.

Mr. Curse Spirit, who doesn't need sleep, is working hard to write the latest manuscript.

He heard the phone vibrate, picked it up, and clicked on the email.

In less than a second, the black-skinned, white-haired man immediately stood up with a dignified expression, picked up his coat at one o'clock in the morning, checked the "safety measures" on Chacha as usual, and then hurried out the door.
