Chapter 21: The Dead
Xia Mei was taken aback: "What did you say?" Dead person?! β
When the old man who was driving the car heard this, he immediately pulled the reins, stopped the ox cart, and turned his head to look at Wen Xi in surprise.
Wen Xi's apricot eyes were full of fear, and he said in a fluttering voice: "I saw it...... It's in the grass over there...... And the blood ......"
The old man was also a little stunned for a while, and looked at Xia Mei.
Xia Mei frowned deeply, and she was a little unsure of paying attention.
After hesitating for a while, Xia Mei finally sighed: "Let's go and have a look......
The old man who was driving the car stopped Xia Mei from getting out of the car: "Madam, let's go!" β
After speaking, he picked up a stone on the ground to cheer himself up, and walked to the place where Wen Xi said nervously.
Moving to the front step by step, seeing the blood stains on the ground, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, carefully brushed aside the grass, and the scene in front of him made him frightened!
A child of about seven or eight years old was lying on the ground, his ragged clothes, stained with blood, and the marks left by the leather whip could be seen everywhere, and his face was full of blood, which was difficult to identify!
Heartache and resentment flashed in the old man's eyes, how could there be such a person as evil as a jackal in this world, even a child would do it!
The old man gently stretched out his hand to probe his snort, but unexpectedly found that there was still a trace left, and he immediately ran back, "Madam, girl, it's a child, and it's still angry!" β
Xia Mei was also shocked when she heard that it was a child, and immediately put aside her previous worries and said to the old man: "Quick, hug it, let's go back quickly!" β
This place is not long away from the village, so it's good to go home first to deal with the injury.
The old man took off his coat, picked up the child and gently put it on the cart, and hurriedly drove the ox cart towards the village.
Wen Xi had already found out that it was a child about the same age as himself at this moment, and most of the fear in his heart had dispersed, but he was still a little afraid of the blood all over his body.
Xia Mei only carefully supported his body to reduce the shaking, while looking anxiously ahead, praying to get home soon.
Under the old man's deliberate acceleration, the ox cart soon arrived in front of Xia Mei's door, Xia Mei carefully picked up the child, and said to Wen Xi: "Wen Xi, you take Tang Bao to the next door first, I didn't tell not to come back, and then see that my aunt is not at home, ask her to come over." β
"Madame...... Let me stay......"
"Go! Take care of Tang Bao, don't let him run back! β
Before the words fell, Xia Meiren had already entered the courtyard, and after a while, she came out and said to the old man who was driving the car: "Uncle, can you please help me run again?" I'll pay double the price of the car, please go to the pharmacy in the town and buy some medicine and come back. β
"Where's the word, ma'am, how can I ask you to pay twice the price of the car?! The old man is not a person without conscience, you wait, the old man will run. After saying that, he drove away in a hurry.
Wen Xi saw that Xia Mei was firm, so he had to stomp his feet, ran next door in a few steps, and went to invite Chen.
Xia Mei put the child on the kang, restrained her slightly trembling hands, and carefully stripped off his clothes, only to find out that it was a girl!
Xia was about to go to the kitchen to boil hot water, and Chen walked in: "Xia's, you are looking for me...... Yikes! This is? β
Chen was startled by the blood-stained clothes on the ground.
Xia Mei didn't care about explaining at the moment, "Auntie, don't worry about it so much, people's lives are at stake, please go to the kitchen and boil some hot water!" β
Chen immediately came to his senses, answered, and ran to the kitchen.
Xia Mei looked at the child in front of her anxiously, a small face was stained with blood and couldn't see it, the skin and flesh on her chest turned outward, there was no blood under her eyes, but the previous blood stains dried up on the wound, which was extremely terrifying.
After a while, Chen came in with hot water and a handkerchief, Xia Mei hurriedly dipped in water to clean her wounds, and when she touched it lightly, the child snorted softly, and Xia Mei was more careful.
Chen was terrified as he watched from the sidelines, how did this kid survive, he was injured like this! At the same time, in my heart, the dog who scolds the evildoer is bloody.
Chen asked in a low voice: "Xia family, I have some trauma medicine in my house, which is usually used by your eldest brother to hurt his hands, do you want to bring it?" β
Xia Meixi said: "Auntie, take it quickly!" β
So Chen went back to get the medicine, and when she came back, Xia Mei had already wiped the blood on the child's body, revealing a white little face.
Chen and Xia Mei carefully sprinkled some medicinal powder on the wound, then took Wen Xi's clean clothes and put them on for her, Xia Mei also dipped a cotton cloth in water, and carefully moistened her lips.
After more than half an hour, the voice of an old man driving the car came from outside the courtyard: "Madam! β
Xia Mei hurriedly took the money bag and handed it to him, thanked him, asked him to pick her up tomorrow, and went into the house to boil medicine.
Xia Mei asked Chen to help people, and she fed her medicine little by little.
Chen then asked in a low voice, "Xia family, what is going on?" Do you know this kid? Why did it hurt like this? β
Xia Mei glanced at the person on the bed, sighed, and said helplessly: "I don't know, we met on the way back." β
"Huh?! And you brought it back? In case you get into any trouble......"
"But after all, it's a human life, not to mention that it's still such a young girl, how can I see death and not save it......"
Chen Shi was silent, looking at the child's pale face, and said with hatred: "I don't know if those who killed a thousand knives did this kind of poultry meat!" β
Xia Mei didn't talk, just sat there worriedly, checking her temperature from time to time to prevent her from having a fever.
After a while, Chen went home and cooked a meal for Xia Mei, telling her that Wenxi and Tang Bao would stay at her house tonight, Xia Mei was grateful, and the two sighed for a while, and Chen left.
Xia Mei has been guarding the child on the bed, for a while to see if her body temperature is normal, and then worried about the things in the restaurant, so after half the night, the child really started to heat up in the second half of the night, Xia Mei kept using a handkerchief dipped in cold water to compress her, until the day was almost dawn, the temperature dropped, Xia Mei's heart was relieved, and she fell asleep on the bed in a daze.
It wasn't until Chen came over with two bowls of porridge that she woke up, and immediately probed the girl's forehead with her hand and found that the temperature was normal, so she was relieved.
Xia Mei turned her head to Chen and said apologetically: "It's really troublesome...... aunt"
"Where, eat quickly, I'll take good care of her when you're gone."
Xia Mei drank porridge in a few sips, and fed the girl with Chen, Xia Mei asked Chen to help boil the medicine, and she sprinkled the medicine powder on the wound on her body.
After this qiΔ, the child's condition looked much better.
Xia Mei hurriedly came to the restaurant again, and Wen Xi stayed at home to help Chen take care of the injured.
Knocking on the door, Xia Mei saw Wen Hao with a tired face, frowned, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" What about Liu Quan? β
