Chapter Twenty-Seven: Abandoning Parent-Child
"Look, it's still a fat white boy, and I don't know what kind of sin that family has created to throw away such a young child!" As soon as Wen Zhesang stepped into the back hall, he saw several women from the good hall talking in a circle. Looking around, there was no trace of the child.
The one who found the baby was a thin aunt, and many people called her "Aunt Chun". Her family was persecuted by the Shang family many years ago and her husband died, and her mother-in-law was angry and followed. Later, she pulled the child alone until she was twelve years old, but a sudden illness in the middle of winter killed her only son. Since then, she has lived alone. may be thinking of her child who died young, and Aunt Chun is full of love and pity for the hard-working child she picked up.
Aunt Chun came with Gouzi Niang and the rest of the people. Aunt Chun sighed for a long time, and then said, "If this is my child...... I don't put it on the tip of my heart and it hurts, how can I throw a living child out? β
The dog girl nodded in agreement, "Thanks to your sharp eyes for spotting him - the back door was not taken care of, and the child was thrown in the grass again, which is not easy to see." β
The people who came with him said the same thing. As he was talking, he saw Wen Zhesang coming, and several people hurriedly said hello and explained the situation.
It turned out that they were worried that the child would be thrown out at night and that he would catch a cold, so they temporarily placed the child in the yamen guest room. In addition, Jiang Weixi went to the doctor non-stop after finding Wen Zhesang and the others, and the kung fu also arrived a while after Wen Zhesang came back.
"It's coming, pediatric holy hand - Dr. Wang Wuji!" Jiang Weixi shouted in a loud voice.
"It's good to be here!" Aunt Chun was overjoyed.
Seeing that everyone was worried and worried, Wen Zhisang retreated a little to make way for Wang Wuji. This pediatric holy hand was over half a hundred years old and in good spirits, nodded to Wen Zhesang as a greeting, and then took the boy behind him into the guest room.
Several people stood at the door, afraid that entering would disturb the doctor's consultation. While everyone hesitated, Wen Zhesang raised his foot and stepped in.
Wang Wuji's figure blocked the child tightly, and Wen Zhisang took two steps forward to see a swaddling baby. There is a lily of the valley flower on the light blue swaddling clothes, isn't it embroidered with a longevity as Jiang Weixi said?
"Adults think this kid ...... How should I place it? The dog lady also came in and whispered to Wen Zhesang.
The infant child was sleeping peacefully, his soft little face was as smooth and lovely as jade, his small mouth was slightly open, and there were some saliva stains on the side of his mouth. Wen Zhesang had seen the baby of a poor family in the county, the child was about to be three months old, but he was born with yellow face and thin muscles, which was very different from the appearance of this child.
Therefore, in Wen Zhesang's view, the child's abandonment is probably not due to the poverty of the family. But to say that this child was accidentally lost by the family - in such a desolate place as the back door of the good hall, who would take a baby for a walk? Then there must be other reasons for the child to be abandoned.
"Huh......" Wang Wujian smacked his tongue quietly and called Wen Zhesang, "My lord doesn't have to think about it, isn't this the reason?" β
Wen Zhesang walked over and looked in the direction of Wang Wuji's finger...... Her brow furrowed instantly. It turned out that the boy's leg was broken.
"Oops...... He's this leg! The dog girl covered her mouth and shouted, then frowned and said, "This child's leg is injured like this, if the god doesn't send it to the hospital, he just throws it into the grass!" β
The child's right leg was swollen and purple, and it looked like it was broken.
Wang Wuji shook his head and sighed, and checked the child again, "Didn't you check the child when you found it?" β
The dog said: "There is an extra child for no reason, and we are also panicking, this child's swaddling clothes are still changed by Sister Chun, and I came to the yamen just after the change, this ...... I didn't hear her talk about it. β
At this time, Aunt Chun, who was mentioned, hurriedly came in and explained ashamedly: "I, I'm also in a hurry, so I forgot about it." My lord, my lord, blame me for this...... Doctor Wang, you must cure the child, this leg is gone, and it will be ruined for a lifetime! β
She was afraid that she knew that she had made a mistake, and her face was full of eagerness.
Seeing this, the dog mother hurriedly took her hand and comforted her. Wen Zhesang also said: "Don't be impatient, now that you know, let's listen to Dr. Wang's opinion." β
With her words, the two seem to have a backbone.
Wen Zhesang turned his head and saw that Wang Wujian was taking a pen and paper to write a prescription, but looking at his sad appearance, he didn't know if there was a way to save the child.
Squeezing in the guest room was not a problem after all, so Wen Zhesang retreated with the two of them. Before leaving, he asked Wang Wuji what he wanted to give the child to eat, and Wang Wuji accosted him while writing the prescription. On the other hand, Aunt Chun heard it, and hurriedly took the work to herself, and pulled the dog mother to busy.
Wen Zhesang asked a few people in the good hall to go back first, and once the children had anything, they would send someone to inform them. In addition, they were also asked to pay more attention to the people around Shantang in the past few days, and if there were any suspicious characters, they would also be asked to go to the yamen to reply.
The group was extremely convinced by Wen Zhesang, and returned to the good hall with peace of mind.
"Dongxue, go and brew the tea, don't neglect Dr. Wang." She commanded.
Winter Snow took the order and left.
For a while, there was no one around. Xie Yikou and Jiang Weixi disappeared without a trace, and her ears were quiet, but she reflexively wanted to find that familiar figure.
She sat in the court for a while before she saw Xie Yikou coming back from outside.
"What are you going to do?" She asked.
Xie Yikou laughed when he heard this, as if he had seen a visionβwhenever he returned, that person was sitting under the peach blossom tree, with a dependence in her eyes that she had not even noticed.
"What, what's wrong?" It's a pity that Wen Zhesang blinked, and his face became serious.
Xie Yikou secretly scolded himself in his heart for being "foolish", and then replied: "The shopkeeper Hu came just now, and he didn't bother when he saw that the adults were busy." I happened to be fine, so I went with him. β
He walked to Wen Zhesang's side, leaned on the peach tree that had fallen flowers, and said, "Recently, the rich family's business has been divided by the shopkeeper Hu, and they are in a hurry. I thought of a bad idea, and found a few bastards to go to the shopkeeper to make trouble. Shopkeeper Hu had been on guard for a long time, and as soon as those people made a move, they were beaten down by the people hired by Shopkeeper Hu. I just went over and took a look, and then I came back and asked some of my brothers to arrest me. β
After some explanation, he didn't feel like himself anymore. How did the former mountain bandit leader become an old mother now?
Xie Yikou was puzzled, so he simply didn't think about it.
"They can't stand it?" Wen Zhesang didn't notice that Xie Yikou was wrong, she thought to herself, "It's time for Qiuhe to come back soon, so it's time for us to close the net." In the past two days, you have the account book that the Shang family and Wang De colluded with each other in private and gave and received privately, and you also got evidence that the Shang family and several other rich families were rich and unkind, and they were in the fish and meat township. β
Xie Yikou raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it dangerous for adults to do this?" I mean, they're going to jump off the wall. β
Wen Zhesang chuckled, his eyes were calm, as if he was fearless, "I've let them go for so long, it's not because I'm afraid." I don't have time to fight with them, and I want to take advantage of this opportunity to wipe them all out, so that they have no chance of turning over. β
Perhaps Wen Zhisang had always behaved mildly and harmlessly, and the first time she said such fierce and reckless words, Xie Yikou digested it for a while. Fortunately, Xie Yikou was still sensible, and hurriedly asked: "Do you mean to use your own safety as bait to let them show their feet?" β
Wen Zhesang nodded, "Exactly. You see that they are still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival, thinking that they have won the fight with Shopkeeper Hu and others, and they think that with the support of Master Wei, they can make me scared and let me leave Qingfeng County in disgrace. But this is impossible, just like fishing, how can a fish get hooked without bait? β
As soon as she looked up, she saw Xie Yikou's rare confused look, her heart tightened, and she blurted out: "Do you think my city is too deep?" β
"What? No, it's good for adults to have a city, so as not to be bullied. Xie Yikou woke up like a dream, and his heart suddenly became happy. He said that adults are too soft and indecisive, and when they don't encounter anything, hello to me, everyone, once something happens, I'm afraid that they will be restrained.
But now it seems that his top boss is not that kind of person. Fortunately, otherwise he would not have been at ease when he left in the future......
It's strange, why did you think of such a later thing?
With his words, Wen Zhesang's eyebrows and eyes relaxed, but in his heart, he was inexplicably a little happy. Whether it is her status as the eldest daughter, or whether she is a playmate with the current saint...... is destined to have to get involved in something she doesn't want to get involved in.
For example, intrigue with the aunts and sisters in the house, such as with the young ladies in Beijing. When it comes to scheming, she will never deny that she is a person with a deep city.
But Xie Yikou, a fool, praised her for having a city government. It's a real headache.
Over there, Xie Yikou thought about Wen Zhesang's plan in his heart for a long time, and still felt uneasy, "Your Excellency is really not thinking about other methods?" The group of people in the Shang family are purely mad dogs, and it is not easy for adults to take advantage of them. β
"It doesn't matter." Wen Zhesang smiled slyly, "Aren't you still protecting me?" β
As a result, the matter was settled after Wen Zhesang's words.
As he was talking, the boy brought by Wang Wuji ran over and asked Wen Zhesang to see the child.
Aunt Chun and Gouzi Niang have already asked for a bowl of your juice from outside. The two of them originally planned to ask for a bowl of goat's milk to make a living, but not long after they went out, they heard that a family had just added ding, and the daughter-in-law of that family was full of juice. So the two cheekily knocked on the door of the house.
It's just that the daughter-in-law is a little strange, and her pale face is very scary, but when she heard that the two of them wanted your juice, she laughed again, which was weird.
After the two came back, they were breastfeeding the child while chattering to Wen Zhesang and Dr. Wang.
"It's good to have your juice, it's good to feed it raw, so I can pick up a life." Wang Wuji said.
Wen Zhesang suddenly felt that something was wrong, frowned and asked, "What does Doctor Wang mean by this?" β
"The old man is incompetent, this leg can't be cured, but the old man is sure to save the child's life."
