Looking at this strange and weak little life, as well as his soft and glutinous "sister" just now, Xia Li's heart was as soft as the water in the river, and she couldn't bear to ignore it. Leave it alone, and he'll die.

Even though she knew that if she took the child back, she would get into trouble if he died, but she did not hesitate to pick him up.

When Xia Li was about to return to the village with the child in his arms, the carpenter Zhou in the village happened to drive by with a donkey cart. He had a carpenter's shop in the town, and he went to a neighboring town to deliver furniture before returning.

He also saw Xia Li and asked, "Who are you hugging?" ”

Xia Li said, "I passed by here with my dog and saw this child lying here. He was sick and had a fever. ”

Carpenter Zhou jumped out of the car and looked at it, and said, "Ouch, I'm not lightly ill." He kindly reminded, "Away from the girl, this child is in tatters, and he looks at his eyes, not like a child from a nearby villager's family." It's a carbon circle, it's hot, and it's better not to be too troublesome. ”

Xia Li said sadly, "I also know this reason. But he's not dead yet...... If I lie here for the night, I will surely die, I can't bear it. ”

The boy seemed to sense his danger, and although he didn't open his eyes, a small hand was tightly grasping one of Xia Li's sleeves.

Carpenter Zhou looked at the child, and was also moved by compassion, and said, "Get in the car, I'll send you home, and then go to Dr. Zhou to see the child...... If anything, I will testify against you. ”

Xia Li thanked him, took the child and got on the donkey cart, and Dangdang also jumped up.

The donkey cart sent them directly to the door of the house, Xia Li got out of the car, and Carpenter Zhou went to find Old Doctor Zhou again. Before parting, Xia Li instructed Carpenter Zhou not to tell her about picking up a child in her family for the time being. I am afraid that if the child dies, it will be bad for many people to know. I was afraid that the Xia family would know about it and come to make trouble.

Carpenter Zhou nodded in agreement, he was unwilling to find trouble for these two orphans and widows.

Xia had already gone home, and was in a hurry, when he heard the movement outside the door and ran out. When she saw the child in Xia Li's arms, she exclaimed, "Lili, who is this child?" ”

Xia Li walked directly to his bedroom and said, "I picked it up by the river, and the child is a little bad and has a fever." ”

She laid the child on the bed, and the child's little hands were still grasping her sleeves.

Xia turned on the lamp, saw that the child's face was red from burning, and his lips were dry, and he hurriedly said, "If this child is dead, we won't be able to tell." Quick, quick, while he still has a breath, where he comes from and where he goes. ”

Xia Li shook his head and said, "Mother, this is also a life, how can I watch him die?" Don't worry, Uncle Tuesday saw that I picked him up and was able to testify for me, and he also helped to get a doctor. ”

Xia couldn't, seeing that Xia Li's face was covered with mud, and his shoes and feet were so dirty that he couldn't see the color, so he had to go to the kitchen and scoop a basin of clean water. As soon as Xia Li washed his feet and changed his shoes, Old Doctor Zhou came.

Dr. Zhou took the child's pulse, applied injections, and intimately checked his arms and legs. "This child is not disabled, but he has a cold. If you can cool it down, it will be great. If you can't come down, you ...... Alas! ”

He was related to Carpenter Zhou, and he also heard that this child was picked up by Xia Li. He added, "I won't say anything if I live." If he dies, find a place to bury him, and we will all bear witness for you. If he meets you, it will be a good fate. ”

Xia Li told him what he had to say to Carpenter Zhou again.

Doctor Zhou has very good medical ethics, and said busily, "The old man knows, and he won't say anything to make trouble for you." ”

He prescribed medicine, and Xia paid one hundred and twelve wen for the consultation and medicine, and then went to Zhou's house to get the medicine.

When Xia was boiling medicine, Xia Li scrubbed the child's body with warm water, and found a small piece of clothing for him to wear. The clothes were draped in large sets, as if they were wearing a small robe.

Replace the new mat that has been soiled and replace the old mat that has not been thrown away.

The child's garment, though dirty and torn, was silken on closer inspection. The exposed face and hands are very dirty, and there are mouths, but the body is white and tender, and there is a little belly.

Looking at his hairstyle again, it should have been a tile head before, and a small piece of hair in front of the top of his head was longer, and it was nearly a centimeter in other places.

Xia Li came to the conclusion that the child was from a wealthy family, had not been hungry two days ago, had not shaved his hair for nearly a month, and should not have been sold or abducted for a long time.

Xia came in with medicine, Xia Li picked up the child, and Xia fed him one bite at a time. Although I drank half a mouthful and spit half a mouthful, I still drank a small half bowl of medicine.

Xia Li mixed warm water with white wine to wipe his forehead, palms and feet, and armpits to physically cool down. Seeing Xia's puzzled gaze, she said that she saw it in a miscellaneous book, which could reduce the heat.

Busy until midnight, the child's heat finally subsided, and he slept peacefully, no longer convulsions.

Both Xia and Xia Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia also saw the clue and said softly, "It's evil." This child has fine skin and tender flesh, and at first glance he is a child of a good family. Either there is a private in the family that was deliberately lost by adults, or it was abducted by a photographer. ”

Xia Li nodded and discussed, "Mother, let's raise him for the time being." If the adults of his family come to him, or if he remembers the address of his home, then we will do a good deed and return it. If no one comes to him, let him be my mother's son, my brother. Even if he was given a way to live, our family also had a boy with a top door. ”

Xia took a closer look at the child and liked it very much. smiled, "This kid looks so good, he looks like a smart baby." If he doesn't remember where he lives, and no one comes to look for him, it's good that we can keep it all the time. If he was abducted by the flower and remembered his own home, we would better go back. If such a good child is lost, the family should be more anxious. ”

Listening to Xia's words, Xia Li became happy and said with a smile, "Okay." If he doesn't remember where he lives, we'll keep it. It's so small, it's sure to be able to raise feelings. Moreover, if it is really the child's family who deliberately lost him, then he might as well follow us, at least we will be good to him. ”

Xia nodded. She wanted to go back to the house to rest, but she was reluctant to be tired of Xia Li, so she wanted to take the child to her room.

Xia Li didn't agree, and said, "Mother, look at it, he's been pulling me." ”

The child's hot little hand clenched one of Xia Li's fingers tightly, as if she was afraid that she would abandon herself.

Xia Shi was a little incredible, this child kept pulling Xia Li even in his sleep, either pulling his sleeves or clutching his fingers. Shaking his head and sighing, "Maybe this is fate." ”

Xia Li said, "Well, I also think I have a relationship with him. As soon as he opened his eyes, he called me 'sister' and asked me to save him. ”
