Chapter 29: The Child
Ji Yu knew that her current situation was not suitable for meddlers, she wanted to ignore it, but she only hesitated for a moment, and then turned around and walked towards the earthen house.
What if, what if it's child abuse?
There was no yard in the earth house, so Ji Yu came directly to the door, raised her hand and knocked on the door panel: "Is there anyone?" ”
No one replied.
Although the voice was faint just now, it didn't stop, Ji Yu heard it, it was indeed a child's voice, but it was already dumb, shouting hungry.
Ji Yu didn't care about being polite or impolite, and began to bang on the door.
My hands hurt, but no one answered.
That's when she realized something wasn't right.
The door was not locked, but bolted from the inside, indicating that there were adults in the house.
Someone didn't respond, and starved the child like this......
Ji Yu looked around and caught a glimpse of a wooden lattice window on the west wall, she didn't pause, she walked straight over and poked the window paper, held up the oil lamp, and wanted to see what was going on inside by the light.
This saw that he suddenly gasped, and the oil lamp in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Calm as Ji Yu, she ran out with her legs.
Hu Liang was helping to clean up the broken shack, and Hu Dacheng pulled the car back alone, planning to go home to pick up Ji Yu.
I saw a person running here from afar, and when the person ran to him, he was stunned: "Sister Xiaoyu, how are you ......?"
"Follow me!" Ji Yu grabbed him and ran back to the earthen house, pointed to the wooden door and asked him, "Can you open it?" ”
As she spoke, she kicked him out, but the force was too small for the plank to move.
"W-Isn't this okay?" Hu Dacheng was confused, and he didn't understand why Sister Xiaoyu had to run to kick the door in the middle of the night.
Ji Yu didn't have time to explain to him: "If you kick it, you can kick it, I'll take care of everything, quickly!" Anything else will happen if it's too late. ”
Hu Dacheng was a little confused and a little afraid, but he was willing to believe Ji Yu, and his mother said that whenever Sister Xiaoyu needed help, they must help.
Although he himself is still a half-grown child, the child without a father is in charge early, and he does a lot of work in the fields, and he has a brute force in his body.
Step back to a distance and stand, take a deep breath to run, and raise your leg and kick it right in the middle of the door. After going back and forth a few times, the closed door panel finally loosened a crack, and Hu Dacheng flexibly put his hand in and tinkered with it a few times, and the door bolt was opened.
Ji Yu quickly blocked in front of him, not letting him push the door to see the situation in the house: "Dacheng, I'll stay here, you go and call Li Zheng over." ”
Hu Dacheng is really confused now.
Ji Yu followed up with another sentence: "You just tell Li Zheng that there are dead people here." ”
Her understatement once made Hu Dacheng suspect that he had heard it wrong.
"Hurry up, what are you doing in a daze?"
Hu Dacheng was stunned and turned around by Ji Yu, and ran a long way before he really reacted to what was happening.
ran to Li Zheng's house in one breath, and when I saw Li Zheng, my legs were weak and I almost didn't kneel on the ground.
"Hu family boy? What's going on? Li Zheng asked by holding him up.
"Dead ...... Dead. Hu Dacheng was so shaky that he was almost speechless, "Sister Xiaoyu, I said yes, yes...... Dead Man......"
After sending Hu Dacheng away, Ji Yu held the lamp in one hand, pushed the door and walked in.
The scene inside the house can only be described as shocking.
The hoarse and hungry child guarded a cold corpse, one of which had a badly broken hand and a blur of flesh, apparently caused by a human bite.
Ji Yu looked at the child's bloody mouth again, and for a while she didn't know if the deceased took the initiative to break her finger in order to let the child live, or the child himself......
She endured the fright, walked over and squatted down, silently recited "don't blame" in her heart, and began to conduct a simple examination of the corpse.
The mortis has subsided, and the corpse spots are in the spreading phase, apparently more than twenty-four hours after death. However, there has been no decomposing corpse, that is, less than seventy-two hours.
The deceased was in his sixties, and there were dried blood stains in the mouth and nostrils, and there should have been bleeding before his death, but it was not caused by poisoning. The bruising of the subcutaneous tissues after oozing blood, coupled with the purple color of the corpse and the purple swelling of the face, preliminarily determined that it should be caused by sudden cerebral hemorrhage and other diseases.
As she observed the corpse, the child remained crouching next to him, as if he hadn't noticed him at all, just shouting at the corpse, mechanically, "Hungry...... Hungry ......"
The little face is expressionless, not crying or making trouble.
Ji Yu frowned, could it be that this kid is mentally deficient?
But whether he's a fool or not, his future path ...... I'm afraid it's not easy to walk.
The reason why Ji Yu sent Hu Dacheng to invite Li Zheng was that when he died, he really needed Li Zheng to preside. There is also the fear that Hu Dacheng will see this scene and accidentally say it.
In this ancient society that fears ghosts and gods, even scholars who are "silent and confused" are inevitably superstitious, let alone villagers in a state of ignorance.
As far as Ji Yu knows, there was a coffin in the neighboring village, his mother gave birth to him in childbirth, the person had lost his breath, and the family began to mourn, but a baby's cry suddenly sounded in the delivery room, and he was born.
There is a medical distinction between clinical death and brain death.
Clinical death refers to the arrest of heartbeat and breathing, and the human life activities have disappeared from the appearance, but the weak metabolic processes in the tissues are still going on; The brain center is not functioning normally, but it has not yet entered an irreversible state.
Brain death, on the other hand, is an irreversible state in which the whole brain, including the brainstem, is lost. At this time, although some cells of the body are still alive, the human being as a whole is a thing of the past, and it is only a matter of time before all the body's functions are lost.
Ji Yu felt that the pregnant woman should not have died completely at that time, either she was brain dead, her cardiopulmonary function had not completely failed, or her cardiopulmonary function had just stopped, but the fetus was still alive...... Either way, it's a miracle for a pregnant woman who dies and a baby who is born.
But the truth is that the life that was born after all kinds of difficulties was not treated by anyone.
The people of the village called him a coffin, saying that he had crawled out of the belly of a dead man, and that he would be unlucky if he touched him, so that no one played with him, or everyone threw bricks when they saw him.
A child who was born by his mother who used up the last bit of life force is still treated like this, if people know that the child in front of him dares to take the dead......
Ji Yu didn't dare to think deeply, so she hurriedly took out a handkerchief and cleaned up the blood and dirt on the child's mouth before Li Zheng arrived.
The child was at her mercy and did not move.
Li Zheng hasn't come yet, but Hu Liang has found it.
He waited for no one in the shack for a long time, but he saw his cart lying on the side of the road at the intersection, and found it along the way.
The corpse in the house scared him a lot, but seeing that Ji Yu didn't change her face when she saw a girl, she didn't behave too badly.
Ji Yu looked at his stiff appearance, knowing that he was uncomfortable here, and he just had something for him to do, so he said: "Brother Liangzi, you go back and help me bring me a bowl of light salt water, and bring some food, the kind that is easy to restrain ." ”
Light salt water can quickly replenish the body's missing water, and can also remove oral bacteria, the child is hungry for several days, and he can't come up to give him something to eat, which will hurt the stomach.
Hu Liang knew that Hu Dacheng had gone to inform Lizheng, and when he saw that she was really not afraid, he went with confidence.
As soon as he walked on the front foot, Hu Dacheng brought Li Zheng to.
There are many villagers who come with the inside, and there are many villagers who are watching the excitement.
