Chapter 40: Jumping into the River
After more than ten days of procrastination, Sister Zhu'er's condition not only did not improve but worsened, and when Zhang Ye was about to reach the edge of the Yellow River, Sister Zhu never survived. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This day and night, Aunt Qian was carefully feeding Sister Zhu the medicine spoonful by spoonful, when suddenly the child in her arms coughed sharply, and the medicine in her throat splashed out with the coughing sound, and the child's whole body began to cramp.
Aunt Qian dropped the medicine bowl in her hand, hugged the child tightly, and screamed in her mouth.
"Ah, my son, mother's pearl, are you like this? Woo woo, doctor, doctor, help me find the doctor! My pearls! Please, any of you will help me, help me! Help me find a doctor, please ------"
Hearing the screams, Li Yunbao hugged his son and followed Shen Xingnan out of the house, and the two looked at the room where Shen Xingdong's concubine was making a commotion at the same time.
Shen Xingnan thought for a while and said to his wife: "Bao, you take the child back to the room and don't come out, I'll take a look."
As he spoke, he pushed the two into the room and closed the door, walking briskly towards the room without pause.
Li Yunbao had no choice but to listen to the movement outside, hoping that Shen Xingnan would come back and tell her what was going on.
At this time, Shen Xingnan entered the house together with Shen Xingxi, who was attracted by the screams, and saw Aunt Qian sitting by the kang with Sister Zhu'er in her arms, and her mouth was constantly muttering - Zhu'er wake up, Zhu'er is good, Zhu'er has taken medicine, Zhu'er -------
Seeing this situation, Shen Xingnan said to Shen Xingxi, "Second brother, you are watching here, I'll ask if there is a doctor in this station." As he spoke, he was about to go out.
"Third brother, don't go, the child is already out of gas." Shen Xingbei, the fourth child who looked very decadent during these days, opened his mouth to stop Shen Xingnan from going out.
Shen Xingnan didn't stop and went to the front of the courtyard, and he didn't take a middle-aged man into the house, and the man didn't say much and was about to come forward to check on the child, but Aunt Qian only cared about hugging the child tightly and didn't listen to anything.
Seeing that the middle-aged man's face had already shown impatience, Shen Xingnan stepped forward and slashed Aunt Qian with a knife, and Shen Xingxi took the opportunity to hold the child and came to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged doctor took the pulse first, then frowned tightly, then lifted the child's eyelids and looked at it, then probed the child's snort and shook his head, and finally listened to the child's heart and spoke.
"It's too late, the child has no pulse, no heartbeat, you mourn."
Seeing the doctor away, Shen Xingxi gently placed the child beside Aunt Qian, reached out and gently touched the child's pale cheeks, and opened his mouth leisurely.
"Good boy, have a good baby in the next life, don't be reborn to someone like us."
After speaking, he blinked vigorously, raised his legs and followed Shen Xingnan, who had already walked out of the house.
"Dong'er, you hurry up and find a bed mat to wrap the child, and go out to find a place to bury Aunt Qian before she wakes up, Bei'er and Wulang, you two will accompany your eldest brother. Hurry up, otherwise Aunt Qian will be hysterical and hold the corpse for a while. Jia Furong was angry and hurriedly instructed her son to dispose of Sister Zhu'er's body.
Shen Xingnan returned to his room expressionlessly, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw two pairs of eyes staring at him.
He looked at his wife and children and straightened their emotions, stepped forward to Li Yunbao and said, "Sister Zhu has gone-----
Forget it, no matter how innocent the child is, it is not his child, there is no need to be in a bad mood for irrelevant people, besides, after so many years of wandering in the underworld, his heart has already been refined as hard as iron? What he wants in this life is only his wife and children in front of him, and nothing else matters!
"What? Are you talking about Aunt Qian's Sister Zhu? Go? How come?" Li Yunbao asked Shen Xingnan several times in succession.
How so? How could it be Sister Zhu? In my memory, Sister Zhu went to the far north well. But now I haven't even crossed the Yellow River, is this my own butterfly wings to fly?
"Well, don't think about it, we just need to take care of Brother An, as long as our family is well together, nothing else matters, Bao."
On the road the next day, Li Yunbao really didn't see Sister Zhu again, she just saw Aunt Qian, who was like a teenager in an old age, with messy sideburns, pale face, and red eyes, she was holding a small dress of Sister Zhu with both hands, and she was still talking to the clothes with her head down as she walked, as if she was talking to Sister Zhu.
Li Yunbao looked sad, she lowered her head and kissed her son's little face in the cloak, and rubbed her son's little head with her head to be extremely happy, Brother An is fine, it's so good!
After walking for a long time, they arrived at the ferry and saw that the river in front of them was yellow, Li Yunbao knew that this was the Yellow River, and they were about to cross the river by boat.
Shen Xingnan took Li Yunbao to sit on the bow of the boat, and now he took out the water bladder from the back basket and handed it to his wife.
"Drink saliva, and then we will have to continue to rush after we eat and get off the boat, I estimate that we will not stop and rest in the second half of the day, and we will definitely rush to the realm of Qiyang in one go."
"Okay, then let's eat eggs and pancakes, okay. I've been eating steamed buns for almost a month, and I'm tired of eating them. Li Yunbao whispered to Shen Xingnan.
"Yes, don't eat, don't eat bags, Brother An wants to eat something delicious." The little one spoke up against his mother.
"Stinky boy, you know how to eat delicious." Shen Xingnan also stretched out his clutches to ravage Brother An'er's little head as he spoke.
"I said that as long as it is the day of rest in the station, I will spend some money to get some delicious food for you to eat, who would not want to? Who said that if you waste money, you can't get it?" The stinky man made fun of himself while ravaging his son.
"Then don't I sometimes ask you to buy some chicken soup and braised pork to eat?" Li Yunbao returned the favor unconvinced.
"I bought it, but those were all for Brother An'er to eat, and you didn't eat them." Shen Xingnan stinks her.
A family of three was talking and eating, when there was a noise at the stern, and the two craned their necks to look at the stern.
Aunt Qian stood on the plywood, not far from the stern, where she was crying and shouting.
"You, you, are not good people, you bully me as a weak woman and make me commit to other men, you watch my sister Zhu die of illness, you pigs and dogs are not as good! Woowoowoooooooo......oo
She held Sister Zhu'er's little clothes in both hands, buried her tearful face in her clothes, cried for a while, and then raised her head and continued to speak loudly and sharply.
"If you don't give me a way to live, I can't do anything to you, but people are doing it, and the sky is watching! Today, I curse you with money lotus, curse you Jia Furong will not die well, and everyone will betray and leave; curse you Shen Xingdong to cut off his children and grandchildren, and no one will send him to the end; curse you Cao Ruxue, your children will die; Curse you Jia Meimei, it's better to be a prostitute! Hahaha, I curse you!"
After saying a few steps, he rushed forward, and jumped into the boiling Yellow River with a 'poof'.
The people around got up and wanted to stop her, but Aunt Qian's movements were too fast, and she was bent on dying and didn't leave any room for herself.
At this time, Shen Xingnan looked at all this in front of him coldly, and he understood it deeply.
In this life, history has been changing as early as when he led the group back to the broken temple to shelter from the rain, but no matter how the course of history changes, he is confident that he can take his wife and children around him to go on well!
He clenched his hand on his knee and looked into the distance.
