Sun Laowu, the night watchman, lay feverish and delirious on his bed. His room was plunged in dim gloom; even at high noon, it remained dark and damp.
Wrapped in a quilt, Sun Laowu collapsed onto the bed, gasping heavily, occasionally racked by a heart-wrenching cough.
The sister-in-law led Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing into the room, saying, "Doctor Li, please check on Laowu first. I'll go boil some water at home and bring some coarse tea back for the two of you."
