Xiahe Village is an extremely remote village, and the people in the village have been fishing for a living for generations, and every household has dried fish with fishing nets in their yards, and even the air smells of fish.

Now that the first month has not passed, the weather is very cold, and there are not many fish in the river, Yu Dalang, like most people in the same village, still holds the fishing net early and prepares to go out to try his luck, after all, a large family eats, and the hands stop talking.

If you don't come back until dark, Chun Tao will bake the millet cake early and hand it to Yu Dalang to take, and before leaving, she will explain again: "Dad, if the situation is not good, you will come back early, don't follow there to blow the cold wind, such as today's cold ground, in case it freezes, it will be a big loss." ”

Yu Dalang grinned as he picked up the dry food prepared for him by his own spring peaches: "Okay, Daddy knows." He also instructed: "You watch your younger brothers and sisters at home, but don't let them run away." ”

Chun Tao should have sent Yu Dalang out in a hurry, and then turned around and came back to ask his younger brothers and sisters to get up for breakfast. Chun Tao is only fourteen years old this year, but she has been in charge of the family for four years, when she gave birth to a little brother, she bleed so much, and since then the family has relied on her inside and out, pulling a pair of younger siblings to this day.

Sister Xia He is ten years old this year, and she can already help do what she can, but her younger brother Huzi is only four years old, which is the age of naughty and mischievous people, and she has to be watched wherever she goes.

After breakfast, Xia He put away the dishes and chopsticks, and the two of them washed dishes and laundry clothes in their own wells, and Huzi squatted in the corner to play with ants.

Before the sisters' work was finished, there was a rapid knock on the closed door, Xia He deserved, got up and wiped the water stains on his hands on his apron, and hurriedly stepped forward to open the door.

But when he saw Yu Dalang standing in front of him covered in water, holding a boy who looked younger than himself, he was suddenly frightened: "Daddy"

Yu Dalang didn't have time to explain, so he hurriedly said, "Go and find Dr. Li." And he said, "Boil some hot water, and find some clean clothes that this child can wear." ”

The two sisters also knew that human life was at stake, so they were busy, one went to find Dr. Li in the village, and the other went to the fire in front of the stove to find clean clothes.

In addition to Yu Dalang, only the four-year-old Huzi is a man, and he can't find the clothes that the child is wearing for a while, so he can only go to the sister-in-law Wang's house next door to borrow a set and come over.

Yu Dalang found Zhao Ziyue in the pile of water and grass, at that time he was lying there on his back, closing his eyes tightly and looking at it as if he had lost his breath, thinking about being a child, he also wanted to scoop people up and bury them alive, where did he know that the boat had just arrived and saw the child open his eyes violently, which scared him a lot, and he was a hell of a ghost in the blue sky.

Zhao Ziyue's body called those tangled knots of water and grass and couldn't move, his brain was chaotic and unclear, and he couldn't see clearly with a pair of eyes, only knew that there was someone in front of him, out of the instinct of survival, he opened his mouth and shouted reluctantly: "Help"

His voice was quieter than that of the mosquito, but Yu Dalang heard it clearly, and jumped into the water without hesitation to fish up the child. At the beginning, he was helpless to see his wife die in front of him, but now he saw such a living life, he could not stand by and watch it anyway.

When the people in the same village saw that he had saved a child, many people also hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the child and rowed the boat to the shore for him, but no one took the initiative to take the child and send it to their homes.

A few people still sneered at the back: "I can't open the pot at home, and I'm still nosy, where will the days of crying be when the time comes." ”

Yu Dalang knew what those people were thinking, but he still blindly took Zhao Ziyue home, and now he still has a breath of ruthlessness, if he can't save it, it will be the child's life.

Doctor Li hadn't come yet, Chun Tao had boiled water and brought it into the house in a wooden basin, and he saw Yu Dalang changing Zhao Ziyue's clothes again, but after a glance, his face suddenly turned pale. This child is younger than Xia He, but there is a white wound called river water blistering in the place from the mouth of her heart, she looked up at Yu Dalang, she couldn't say anything in her heart, and she didn't know whether this person should be saved or not.

Yu Dalang didn't think about it much, he only quickly took off Zhao Ziyue's wet clothes, and took a screwed towel to wipe his body for him, looking at the wound of less than three inches at the centrifugal mouth, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't know how such a young child could make someone do this.

wiped Zhao Ziyue's body and changed into underwear, and then put him in the bed, Xia He hurriedly pulled Dr. Li over.

Yu Dalang saved a child, Dr. Li heard the people in the village talk about it all the way, and he was not polite when he entered Yu's house, but said: "Where are the people?" ”

Chun Tao stood by the well to draw water, and was about to wash the clothes that Zhao Ziyue had just changed, when she heard the words, she pointed: "Where is it, Uncle Li go and take a look." And he said, "This boy has a wound." ”

Doctor Li was about to leave with his feet raised, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the clothes that had been changed from the basin, frowned and asked, "This dress belongs to the child?" ”

Chun Tao nodded embarrassedly: "Yes, we don't have clothes that he can wear at home, and I think I haven't worn them after washing and making up for them in the future." ”

Dr. Li deserved a sound, but he didn't speak again, but strode towards the house.

Yu Dalang was standing in front of the couch, and when he saw Dr. Li coming, he hurriedly got up and gave up his position: "Doctor Li, come and see, this kid can still talk when he is in the water, but he can't wake up at this time." ”

Dr. Li nodded and stepped forward to take Zhao Ziyue's pulse, calmed down and took Zhao Ziyue's pulse, and asked, "Didn't you say that there was an injury on your body?" Where? ”

"At the mouth of the heart." Yu Dalang said.

Dr. Li frowned, and hurriedly opened Zhao Ziyue's clothes to look at the wound that was soaked white by the river, the wound was red and swollen, and white pus and blood squeezed out when he pressed it lightly. ”

Yu Dalang heard this, and when Zhao Ziyue was not saved, he hurriedly said: "Doctor Li, it's a life, you can send mercy to save him." ”

Doctor Li is also worried about whether it is good to save in the end, with the tenacity of this child, it must be saved and saved, but the child is seriously injured and I don't know how many days he has been soaked in the water, and it is not an overnight thing to get completely better.

Zhao Ziyue woke up groggily, his eyelids lifted slightly, and he saw two figures standing faintly in front of him, and his heart was relaxed and fell asleep.

Doctor Li thought about it, Chun Tao came in with a bowl of tea in a coarse porcelain bowl, and said embarrassedly: "Uncle Li, please drink tea." ”

Doctor Li was not polite, took the tea bowl, remembered the clothes in the basin again, and in the end, he turned around and drank the tea in his hand, and ordered: "Go to my house and ask my mother-in-law to bring some soju, and let my son come over, I will ask him to grab medicine." ”

Yu Dalang responded when he heard this, and Chun Tao also breathed a sigh of relief, it was not that she looked down on Dr. Li, but Dr. Li was really obscure, he was afraid of ruining his own reputation, and he would never save the dying person, if he opened his mouth at this time, it must be that the child was saved.

Chun Tao came out with an empty bowl, and asked Xia He to take care of Huzi not to enter the house, but he went to Dr. Li's house in person, held his special soju, and looked for his eldest son Li Yanlai.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Dr. Li burning a small blade on the oil lamp, and he said to Li Yan while burning the knife back and forth: "You set up an ox cart to pick up a few pieces of medicine in the town, there is a silver medicine box, you go and go back quickly, this time you are waiting for help." ”

As he spoke, he dictated the prescription again, and then asked, "Can you remember clearly?" ”

Li Yan has inherited the mantle of Dr. Li since he was a child, and he remembers clearly that he only said the oral prescription once, he responded in one bite, but did not leave immediately, but looked at the child who was lying on the bed and did not wake up, and then looked at Dr. Li with a focused face, and left with some surprise in his heart.

Chun Tao stayed outside the house for fear that there would be any orders inside, and when she saw Li Yan coming out of the house, she snorted twice from her nostrils, turned around and lifted the curtain into the room next to her.

Li Yan smiled helplessly at Chuntao's back, and hurriedly went outside, he was not as realistic as Dr. Li, he still had a conscience in his heart, and he knew that the matter of saving people could not be delayed, so he hurriedly drove to the town.

Doctor Li prepared all the props that he was going to use, and then poured soju with a clean towel to wipe Zhao Ziyue's wounds, Xu was very sick, and the wounds of that kind of liquor did not make him react at all.

"The flesh on his wound is rotten and needs to be dug up, you can catch him alive in a while, don't let him move." As soon as Dr. Li spoke, he lifted the quilt and opened Zhao Ziyue's clothes, exposing his wounds, and sighed in his heart, in the end, it was fate, otherwise he would be afraid that he would die.

When Yu Dalang heard that he was going to dig up the rotten meat on Zhao Ziyue's body, he was still a little embarrassed on his face, but when he thought that if he didn't deal with it, he was afraid that he would really die, so he stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Ziyue's upper body tightly, but he was afraid that he would exert force under his feet, and called Chun Tao into the house to hold down Zhao Ziyue's feet.

Seeing that everything was ready, Dr. Li picked up a knife and slashed at Zhao Ziyue's wound, and suddenly bright red blood gushed out, mixed with some yellow pus.

"Ah" Because there was no anesthetic medicine, Zhao Ziyue woke up in pain, and instinctively bounced, only to find that his body was already so shackled that he couldn't move.
