Chapter 43 People will die, do you know?
When they reached the other side, the group went to the town, and when they got to the town, there were chariots and horses.
"Chunxiang, let's eat something and then go to the county, Hengzhu will sell things tomorrow morning, and you can go to Funing before dark."
"Ravioli, hot ravioli, fresh ravioli." At a small stall on the side of the street, a neatly dressed aunt with a cotton-white apron raised her voice, and felt that her voice could be heard on the street.
This street they are talking about can be seen at a glance, and those who are fast can walk around in half an hour, and there are not many people on the street.
There are only a few scattered shops on the street, a small pharmacy, a grocery store, a grain store and a fabric store, not even a restaurant.
Ah Yue's father and mother heard the cry of the eldest aunt, and thought about ordering a bowl of wontons for their daughter, and the two of them could eat some dry food and cold water for lunch.
He followed his parents, and when he saw the woman carrying the child to the drugstore, he withdrew his gaze.
"Sister-in-law, let's have a bowl of wontons." Tang Yuehua's mother took out the money bag, took out two copper coins and handed them to the proprietress.
"It's good, a bowl of wontons costs two pennies, it's delicious, not expensive and cheap." The cry in the mouth of the aunt who sells wontons is far and long.
The eldest aunt bent down and added a handful of firewood to the stove, picked up the bamboo tube next to the stove and blew air into the stove, squinted slightly to see the firewood ignited the flame, and then went to the side of the basin to wash her hands.
The rough hand pressed on the apron a few times, lifted the wooden lid of the pot and stood aside, grabbed a few wontons, and waited for the water in the pot to churn so that he could throw it in.
After turning around in the pot a few times, he put it aside, and began to put salt, shrimp skin, soy sauce and some seasonings into the white and blue-edged clay bowl, scooped a large spoonful of boiled white, fragrant bone broth and poured it into the white clay bowl, and the bamboo claw fence scooped up the wontons in the pot, poured them into the bowl, and sprinkled with green green onions.
And put two bowls of white soup on the plate, and brought them together, "The wontons are ready, and the soup is not enough, you can add more." ”
A family of three sat on the table and chairs of the stall, and Tang Yuehua ordered one without paying attention to her father and mother for a while, until she saw the bowl of wontons with full color and flavor and the two bowls of monotonous white soup on the table.
The bowl of wontons was placed in front of him by a big hand, and his mother thanked the aunt who sold the wontons, "This, sister-in-law, we want a bowl of wontons, how embarrassing is this." ”
"It's just a little soup, it's not worth anything." The eldest lady said with a smile.
"This, this." After saying two of them, she took out some dried sweet potatoes and a persimmon from her bag and stood up.
"Sister-in-law, this is a little food we made ourselves, you can taste it, I don't know if we can eat it."
"No need, you should be going to sell it in the county for some money, I can't take it, that little soup is not worth such a thing as you." She excused herself and didn't answer.
The two of them just pushed me back and forth, but in the end, I couldn't do it, so the eldest aunt accepted it, that is, the two bowls of white soup on the table were more green.
Without saying a word, she scooped the wontons from the bowl into the other two bowls, picked up the bowl with the remaining three wontons, lifted the corner of the fence, and began to eat.
The couple wanted to say something, "Daddy, if you don't eat again, it will be cold, and we will have to hurry in a while." Tang Yuehua said in advance.
They glanced at each other, knew what the boy meant, and did not speak again, and the two of them ate a few wontons in the bowl, and then ate some pancakes, and then got up and set off.
"Please save my child, we will have the money for the medicine when we come back." The woman pleaded with the people inside.
"Why can't you understand the words, our master can't cure your child's disease, hurry up and take the child to the county seat to see, maybe it's still too late!" A medicine boy said helplessly.
The woman knelt down at the door of the pharmacy with the child in her arms and kowtowed desperately inside, "Save my child first, I will definitely pay for the medicine and the consultation fee, our child is suffering from the cold." ”
The surrounding people were standing not far away, looking at the woman who kept kowtowing, pointing and saying something, but no one stepped forward to help, if someone in the family was sick these days, the consultation fee and medicine money could crush a family.
Listening to this woman's words, the man in the family is not at home, and no one dares to come forward to wade into this troubled water.
"Your child is burning too badly, and there are other diseases, they all said that you should find a doctor in the county, maybe there will be help, I'm afraid of you, here are ten cents, you can take the hired car to the county." The medicine boy painfully took out the ten copper plates and put them in the child's quilt.
"This lady, why don't you hire an ox cart with us to go to the county." His mother-in-law looked at the woman's appearance was really a little pitiful, they were all mothers, and the children were the flesh of their hearts, thinking that they were just going to Funing County, or they would take her with them.
My father hurriedly went to the carriage and horse shop to rent a donkey cart and came over, "Let's hurry up, it shouldn't be too late to get to the county seat." ”
"This lady, hurry up and get into the car with the child." The people around them persuaded the people who were still kneeling on the ground
The woman suddenly came to her senses, "Go to the county, let's go to the county." As if he had grasped a life-saving straw, he thanked him again.
The group, their father and mother sitting on the board outside, she, the woman and the child were in the carriage together, and of course what they had brought.
Maybe it's because the speed of the donkey cart is a little fast, and the road is very bumpy, the child's wheezing began to be a little anxious, and he cried uncomfortably, crying like a little milk cat, and he had no strength, and he was about to lose his breath.
It seems that the person who is tightly wrapped in that layer is not the child, but himself, no matter what. I didn't want to be nosy.
"Unwrap the child's bag." Tang Yuehua couldn't help but speak.
"I said open the child's forehead. If you don't want your child to die. Her calm voice came from under the fence.
The woman who was looking at the child immediately raised her head and looked at herself with some viciousness, and then thought that she was riding in the car they had hired, and had to hold back her anger, and her sallow face was unnaturally flushed with anger.
The woman stared at her for a moment, then tilted her head to one side, as if she did not want to make eye contact with herself, and did not intend to do anything with her little child.
"Your child has a high fever to this point, and it has a lot to do with you, don't believe it? If you don't untie the covers, your child will have convulsions in less than a quarter of an hour. ”
