Everyone bent down to look for it, and the more they searched, the more cold their hearts became......

"There's a live baby here." Ruyi suddenly shouted.

Su Zhiyuan and the others walked quickly, and a naked child covered in mud lay there quietly.

Su Zhiyuan took off his robe and wrapped the baby: "Let's go back first." ”

"Is there a doctor in the village?" Banxia looked at Uncle Ma.

"There's a barefoot doctor, you send the child to my house first."

Several people hurried away, and the wind mixed with the smell of corpses wafted towards the villagers on the side of the road, and the villagers who had good deeds followed them without saying a word when they noticed the children in their hands.

"Chun Niang, Chun Niang." Hearing Uncle Ma's eager voice, Chun Niang hurriedly came out of the house.

"Boil some boiling water and give this kid a bath."

Chun Niang noticed the weak and suffocating baby in Su Zhiyuan's arms, and without saying a word, she immediately prepared boiling water and found some clothes from Bao'er's childhood by the way.

Uncle Ma walked outside the courtyard gate: "Who will help find the barefoot doctor in the village." ”

A kind old man stood up: "I'll go." ”

The others stood quietly outside the courtyard, sympathetic and curious......

Finally, someone couldn't help but speak: "Old Ma, what's going on?" ”

"Why did you come back with a child? There is still a smell on your body, looking at the direction you came back, could it be that you picked it up from the abandoned pit? ”

"Don't be stupid, you can't support your own children these days, and you're still rushing to support other people's children?"

Everyone, you and I are talking word by word.

Lao Ma looked at Su Zhiyuan and the others, and couldn't figure out what they meant: "Okay, okay, I know, you go home first, you don't do any work in the fields, and you are all here?" ”

Although the child is innocent, most people advise Lao Ma not to meddle in his affairs, and to have the ability to match his love, otherwise, it will be a burden for anyone.

Most of the people dispersed, and only a few people were still standing at the gate of the courtyard to watch the excitement.

With the arrival of the barefoot doctor, the courtyard door "snapped" shut, isolating the sight of outsiders at the courtyard gate.

Chunniang took a few sets of clean and shabby clothes: "The child is handed over to me, I boiled the water, you also go to wash it, the clothes are clean, you will wear them." ”

Everyone thanked Chunniang, but they all stood still and didn't move, and everyone's eyes were focused on the barefoot doctor.

"This child is mainly hungry, and she has been outside for a long time, and she is frozen, so first give her a bath, feed her some food, and then go to the city, find a good doctor to show her, and her body is still burning!"

After the barefoot doctor finished speaking, the old horse began to come up with bad ideas: "There is a half-immortal in the village, why don't you invite her to ......?"

Su Zhiyuan interrupted him: "Those are useless, everyone clean up and leave in a while." ”

Chunniang gave the baby a bath and wrapped it in a layer of cloth that Bao'er used when she was a child.

The group took a shower as fast as they could, and the group set off for the city.

Lao Ma stared at Su Zhiyuan for a while: "I don't think you are whiter than just now." ”

Banxia and Su Zhiyuan glanced at each other, lowered their heads silently, and took a bath, the two of them were already paying attention, so they simply dealt with it, but they didn't expect it......

Su Zhiyuan changed the topic: "Go to Dr. Zhang in the city, this kid is too burned." ”

"Holo." The old horse sped up.

"How many such outcasts are there?" Su Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.

"There is one near almost every village," Lao Ma was helpless when he mentioned this matter, "the harvest has not been good these years, many people have starved to death, and they can't afford to raise children......

Banxia didn't understand: "Then you can't give birth, since you can't afford it, you have to give birth again, and you have to throw it away if you give birth, what is the reason?" ”

Lao Ma shook his head: "Most of the girls in the abandoned pit are baby girls, and many people only need boys, and if they give birth to girls and can't afford to raise them, they will throw them away." ”

"The children in the abandoned pit were all discarded by the people of Changshou Village?"

Lao Ma shook his head: "No one in our village has ever lost a child. ”

Speaking of this old horse, he showed a faint pride: "Although our village is poor, some families criticize girls, but no one discards their children, none of them." ”

"There are so many ...... in that abandoned pit" Thinking of those tragic deaths of the little corpses, Banxia choked for a while.

"There is a small forest between Changshou Village and Changfu Village, at first some people threw their children in the small forest, and then they didn't know who dug a pit in the woods, and some people threw their children into the pit, and over the years, the pit in the grove became bigger and bigger...... "Lao Ma said here and became more and more depressed, "Most of the babies discarded in it are from Changfu Village, and there are other villages." ”

"Don't the people in the government care?" Su Zhiyuan said.

"The people of Changfu Village are not afraid of the government," Lao Ma recalled the past, "Last year was the year before last, and the government came to fill up the abandoned pit, and the people of Changfu Village rushed through with knives and plows, and then fought with the officials." ”

Su Zhiyuan frowned: "Who behind them can't support them?" ”

"That's not it, there are more than 50 families in Changfu Village, basically every family is related to each other, there is some relationship, their village is united, it is a difficult bone to gnaw, as long as it is not a matter of human life, the people of the government will turn a blind eye."

Su Zhiyuan sneered: "Isn't it life to abandon the pit so many lives?!" ”

The cold flowed freely in the carriage, and the horse wheel spun quickly, quickly heading towards the medical hall.

Dr. Zhang from the medical hall was surprised when he saw Su Zhiyuan and others: "It's you again?" Who's sick this time? Seeing each other twice a day is fate. ”

If you want to take a step forward, lift the child up in front of Dr. Zhang's eyes.

Dr. Zhang touched the baby's red face: "It's so hot!" What do you adults think of children! ”

After speaking, without waiting for Su Zhiyuan and them to answer, they hurriedly hugged the child and worked all the way.

As the sun sets, the shadows of people are stretched for a long time and overlap with the shadows of the trees on the street.

In the past, there were a lot more people in the deserted medical hall today, Su Zhiyuan and others have been standing outside, and the young man thoughtfully brought tea.

Finally, in everyone's expectant gaze, Dr. Zhang came out.

Uncle Ma said, "Doctor, how is the child?" ”

"The fever has subsided, but the child is still young after all, and after such a big trauma, his body bones will be weaker than normal people in the future, and he must be carefully raised in ordinary times, otherwise he will ...... Alas. ”

The result was better than everyone expected, and everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

Su Zhiyuan paid for the medicine, and took out a tael of silver from his arms to Lao Ma: "You have worked hard today, this is the car money." ”

The old horse's eyes widened, and his hands rubbed the corners of his clothes restlessly: "This, this is too much." ”

"Take it, I'll look for you when I have a job in the future."

After some excuses, the old horse accepted it: "Where do you live, I'll send you back." ”

"We live nearby, it's close, just walk back by ourselves."
