Chapter 4 Abandoned Babies by the River

Xiao Wuwa's home is in the middle of the village, and there is a sixty-year-old mother at home, and he and Zhao Liumao have to pass a small river at the edge of the village when they go back to their own house, which is not deep, but one or two people drown every year. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info has a lot of rain in summer, and the river has skyrocketed in the past two days, Xiao Wuwa can hear the noise of the river in the place where she can't see clearly, and her heart is even more timid. Seeing that Zhao Liumao was walking faster and faster, Xiao Wuwa couldn't help but spread her feet and chased after him.

"Huo Hao!"

A bolt of lightning cut through the sky without warning, and Xiao Wuwa was so frightened that she sat under the willow tree by the river: "Ah! ”

Zhao Liumao stopped in the rain, turned around and shouted, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, I fell a little!" Xiao Wuwa wiped her face and replied loudly, pulling around with both hands trying to find something to borrow, and inadvertently grabbed a wooden plank. The wooden board felt a little strange in his hand, and he couldn't think too much about it, so he pulled it with his hand, but he didn't expect to pull out a wooden basin.

"Huo Hao!"

Another lightning bolt lit up the night sky, Xiao Wuwa glanced at the wooden basin in her hand, and her head, which was a little numb by the heavy rain, exploded instantly: "Ah! Ahh

Zhao Liumao didn't know why, and shouted again: "What's the matter-"

"Ahhh ”

"What's that?"

"Noβ€”something that's not clean!" Xiao Wuwa didn't dare to spit out those two words, but desperately urged Zhao Liumao: "Hurry upβ€”go quickly!" ”

"What's in that pot?"

Xiao Wuwa was anxious, jumped to her feet and shouted: "Water-water ghosts!" ”

Since the death of the big man, Zhao Laotie did not believe in ghosts and gods in his life, Zhao Liumao naturally did not believe it, he saw that the wooden basin was just a bath commonly used by large families, and he wanted to go up to see what was going on, Xiao Wuwa dragged him and said: "Don't go, let's go quickly!" ”

At this moment, there was a sudden explosion of thunder in the sky, which was deafening, and both of them were a little dizzy by the thunder, and they heard a thin cry vaguely.

"Wow-"

The two looked at each other and listened carefully, yes, it was the cry, or the cry of a toddler.

"Wow-"

That cry came from the wooden basin that Xiao Wuwa pushed open!

"Ahh Xiao Wuwa was so frightened that she ran away, but Zhao Liumao raised her legs and walked under the willow tree as if she had lost her soul.

The electric mother opened a series of lightning bolts on the canopy, and with the electric light, Zhao Liumao saw the contents of the basin clearly - a baby more than a foot long was lying in the basin, the rain had flooded under the ears, the eyes were closed and the face was pale, as if he had just been awakened by this thunder, his hands and feet were weakly paddling in the basin, and his cry was out of breath.

"Oh my God!" Zhao Liumao exclaimed, and immediately picked up the baby from the wooden basin, and started a wet and cold lump, creating evil! Zhao Liumao hurriedly put the baby carefully under the robe, the baby was a little hot, his hands and feet were separated, as if he knew that he was saved, he obediently let Zhao Liumao hold him in his arms, his mouth pouted twice, and gradually stopped moving. The wooden basin should have flowed down the river, and the intertwined old willows stopped the wooden basin, and the wooden basin was pushed up by the river, and was inadvertently caught by Xiao Wuwa, which was discovered. There seems to be something in the basin, Zhao Liumao put his arm around the child in one hand and took it with the other, so he might as well go down the river under his feet, and the wooden basin was pushed away. The river that spread up was pushed and sent again, and the wooden basin was gone.

I don't know whose doll was ruthlessly discarded, so I can only talk about it tomorrow.

Zhao Liumao took the abandoned baby back to the house, first turned out an old coat and wrapped it with the doll, only to find out that it was a male baby. Zhao Liumao took out the winter quilt and carefully covered the abandoned baby, then hurriedly found some dry firewood to boil water, and grabbed a handful of brown rice and threw it in the jar to boil it into rice soup.

This abandoned baby has sound limbs, and the small clothes, pants and socks taken off are all fine cotton, and the stitches are neat, not like ordinary children, why should such a good doll be thrown away?

As if sensing something, the abandoned baby's hands and feet suddenly trembled, Zhao Liumao hurriedly lifted the quilt and held him in his arms. Zhao Liumao thought he was hungry, so he blew the rice soup to half warm and fed it to the abandoned baby little by little with a scoop. The little man also knew that this was a life-saving thing, ate a little and vomited a little, finally swallowed a small half bowl of rice soup, and then fell asleep groggy.

Zhao Liumao worked hard for a day, tossed for half a night, and fell asleep nervously when he was young, thinking that he would wait for tomorrow to ask along the river to see if he could find his biological father and mother for the child.

This night, Zhao Liumao slept very unsteadily, and when a woman came into the house, he could see it clearly, but his body couldn't move at all. The woman kowtowed to him three times and said a few words, to the effect that Zhao Liumao was a good person, and she would thank him in the next life. Zhao Liumao couldn't understand, he was about to ask who the woman was, and the woman disappeared. Zhao Liumao struggled twice and suddenly found that he could move, and immediately got up from the bed to chase the woman, but there was a sharp pain in his arm, and Zhao Liumao woke up immediately!

"Ho-" Zhao Liumao gasped for breath, and found that he was drenched in sweat, and there was a bruise under his right elbow, which looked like he had just been knocked on the bedstring - it turned out to be a dream. Zhao Liumao poured a bowl of cold tea to suppress the shock, and went to see the abandoned baby again, only to see that his little face was red and his body was hot. Oops, this doll is sick!

It was not yet dawn, and although the rain had stopped, it was wet everywhere outside, and now I was going out to find a doctor, so I was afraid that I would get sicker. Zhao Liumao was so anxious that he suddenly remembered that when he had a fever when he was a child, his father soaked a hand towel in cold water on his forehead to dispel the fever for him, and immediately followed this method. The abandoned baby was also well-behaved, not crying or making trouble, but scratched in the direction of the door. Zhao Liumao was anxious, but he didn't notice it, and he was afraid that the baby would be hungry, so he started a small fire to warm last night's rice soup, tossed and turned, and fell asleep leaning against the stove.

"Giggles-oh-" I don't know which rooster sang, Zhao Liumao woke up from his slumber with a spirit, and hurriedly went to see the abandoned baby again, his forehead was a little colder, but the person looked even weaker, like a newborn rat, with weak limbs. Zhao Liumao panicked, he couldn't even wash his eyes, and hurriedly took the abandoned baby to find the old doctor Huang in the village.

"Doctor Huang, Doctor Huang-" Zhao Liumao knocked open the door of Doctor Huang's house, and Doctor Huang, who was over seventy years old, was wearing a piece of clothing, squinted at the crack in the door, and asked, "Who is it so early?" ”

"I, Zhao Liumao! Doctor Huang, hurry up and show this baby! ”

"Oh, come in!" Doctor Huang got up to go through the herbal medicine box for the abandoned baby, and asked, "Liumao, where did you pick up this doll?" ”

"Right under the old willow tree by the river! When I went back to the house after work yesterday, I found it, and I don't know where it came from, so I took it back because I was pitiful. Why don't you want such a good doll? ”

"Alas, the way of the world!" Doctor Huang found some gardenia reed roots and confessed: "If you come a little later, this doll will burn out!" Take this herb back and fry it, mix it in the rice soup and feed it to him, half of it will be used to wipe his body, three times a day, and the rest will depend on his creation! ”
