Chapter 162: Persistent High Fever, Life or Death (2)
She spoke while placing the cold towel on his hot forehead. She replaced the towel over and over again.
Zhong Shenghao once said that there was hope as long as the high fever had gone down.
The towel was changed over and over again. Half an hour later, the fever still had not gone down but had gone up to forty-two degrees!
Zhong Shenghao frowned. This would not work at all!
The basin of ice water soon became warm. Zuo Weiyi was stopped by Zhong Shenghao when she was trying to go downstairs to get the ice cubes.
“This method won’t work anymore. You don’t have to go.”
“But…”
“Go and take one of your brother’s down jacket. I will take him to the ice cellar in the backyard!”
The situation was urgent and imminent. Zhong Shenghao had no choice. He just hoped that Shi Yuting’s high fever could go down a little after he entered the ice cellar that was below zero degrees!
Shi Nuannuan and Zuo Weiyi were stunned listening to him.
“Go to the ice cellar? But shouldn’t someone with a fever stays in low and moderate temperature?” Shi Nuannuan was worried.
Although Brother’s body was hot, usually the normal reaction was that the hotter the body, the colder the body would feel.
“We have no choice. We have to try it!”
Zhong Shenghao said and carried Shi Yuting on his back carefully. He then walked outside the door.
If there was imminent death, he had to take the risk. He had no choice!
Tengtang Xi was sitting in the living room with an angry face. She had nowhere to vent her anger. She then suddenly heard footsteps coming from the stairs.
She looked up and saw Zhong Shenghao carrying Shi Yuting downstairs.
She stood up and wanted to vent her anger. However, she saw them walking toward the back door.
She frowned and followed them angrily.
“The temperature inside is very low. You don’t have to go in.” Zhong Shenghao looked at Shi Nuannuan and Zuo Weiyi when they reached the ice cellar. He was worried that they would not be able to withstand that kind of low temperature.
“No. I’m going in.” Zuo Weiyi refused. She wanted to go in and watch him wake up safely.
“Me too! I’m not afraid of the cold!” Shi Nuannuan was also determined.
“What are you planning to do?!”
Tengtang Xi came over and looked at the three of them.
However, the three of them just ignored her. They looked at Zhong Shenghao anxiously.
Zhong Shenghao glanced at the two of them. He did not have much time to waste on this matter. So, he said, “Just do whatever you want.”
Perhaps they would know how cold it was after they entered the ice cellar.
Once they entered the ice cellar, Zhong Shenghao immediately felt a burst of cold air all over his body as he trembled while carrying Shi Yuting on his back.
“I forgot to bring my winter clothes.”
Shi Nuannuan walked into the ice cellar and was immediately shivering due to the cold. She involuntarily raised her hands and started rubbing them, hoping that it would relieve the cold.
Zuo Weiyi also felt the icy coldness. However, all of her thoughts were on Shi Yuting. She could not care too much about it.
This ice cellar was completely artificial, a bit similar to the ancient ones. There was a giant ice bed in the center of the ice cellar.
Zhong Shenghao placed him on the ice bed. He then took out his tools and began to check Shi Yuting’s vital signs.
“I can’t stand it. I’m going to get my winter clothes!”
Nuannuan was already shivering and her lips had turned darker in less than five minutes after they had gone into the ice cellar.
