Chapter VII Abandoned Infants

After sitting in the school for a short time, Shen Yanling left with his wife and children.

After leaving the school, the family didn't delay much in the town, and walked directly to Xiaohe Village. Although Shen Yanling has never left Xiaohe Town, she has read a lot of books and knows a lot of things, Ning'er is a cheerful personality, Ah Zheng is lively and cute, talking and laughing along the way, Ah Zheng is not tired.

There are two mountains on the way from Xiaohe Village to the town, and the road they usually walk is in the valley between the two mountains, and a small river flows out from the mountains behind the village, and flows outward from the two mountains, hence the name of Xiaohe Village, and the road they take is along Xiaohe. Xiaohe Village is located in the south, belonging to Qinghe County near the sea, two of the four major ports of Jinlong Country are in Qinghe, so it is also a very rich state and county in Jinlong Country, but Xiaohe Town is not near the sea, and it is far away from the state capital, which can be regarded as a remote mountainous area.

The three of them walked to the valley between the two mountains, but saw a wooden basin floating in the river, Ah Zheng's eyes were sharp, and he saw it from a distance, and pointed it out to his parents, Ning Er and Shen Yanling only floated down the river as a wooden basin for washing clothes in the village, thinking of the villagers, it is also good to help others pick it up, so they decided to wait by the river for a while, and then pick it up when the wooden basin is close.

The family sat down on a stone by the river and waited for the tub to float closer. Before the spring rain, the water in the small river was not in a hurry, and the wooden basin slowly floated in, and it took some time from the time it appeared in their sight to the time it was not too far away from them. It's just that at this time, Ning Er heard a very light baby cry, Ning Er frowned, turned her eyes to look at Shen Yanling, but saw that Shen Yanling was also frowning, and after a little hesitation, Shen Yanling flew away and stepped on the water, and fished the wooden basin ashore.

Ning Er and Ah Zheng leaned over to look, and sure enough, in the wooden basin was a swaddling baby, to be precise, an old jacket wrapped around a baby boy who looked less than 100 days old. The weather is still slightly cold, and it is floated in the river, although the jacket is wrapped, the baby's little face is still slightly purple from the cold, and the cry is already very light, Ning'er took a closer look at the pulse, the child born in less than a month, the body is relatively weak, from the pulse, the child has been floating in the river for most of the day, fortunately there is no frostbite.

Ning'er picked up the child distressedly, Shen Yanling untied her coat and wrapped it in the child, Ning'er thought that the wooden basin had been floating in the river for so long, and the jacket had already been damp, so she untied the jacket and prepared to wrap Shen Yanling's coat inside, which would also be warmer.

"Dang", something fell out of the jacket, Ning'er didn't care, and continued to wrap the child's clothes.

Ah Zheng was curious, squatted down and picked up something from the ground, it turned out to be a gold medal, with a dragon pattern on one side and a smooth one side. Shen Yanling took the gold medal from Ah Zheng's hand, looked at it carefully, and sighed at Ning Er. Ning Er knew that this kid must also have an extraordinary background, so she couldn't help asking, "What should I do?"

Shen Yanling sighed, she hugged it back, she couldn't throw it back again. In the end, it is a human life, not to mention that Ah Zheng is in front of him, he can't teach the child badly, it is the conscience, they can't pass it, if they really throw it away, I'm afraid they can't let go of it for the rest of their lives. "Since I brought it back, let's keep it, it's just one more mouth to eat, just treat it as if we were born, it's a human life. Shen Yanling said helplessly.

Ning Er breathed into his hand, put it on the child's face, warmed his skin, and nodded when he heard Shen Yanling say this, since he had met him, he naturally wanted to save him, but, "At the beginning, did you pick me up like this?" Ning Er suddenly asked.

Shen Yanling sighed helplessly and nodded.

Ning Er also sighed, this is fate.

Since it was decided, the husband and wife took the child and took Ah Zheng home, the child had not eaten since the morning, and had to hurry back to get him something to eat.

When they returned to the village, the villagers who had been working in the fields had not yet returned to the village, and they did not meet any acquaintances, so they returned home smoothly. After entering the house, Ning'er put the child in the house and went into the kitchen to get some food for the child. I don't expect milk or anything, Ning'er took a little rice ball, twisted it carefully, burned the fire, boiled it into a paste, added a little honey, and then fed it to the child.

When Ning'er came out with the rice soup, Shen Yanling was already sitting in the courtyard weaving bamboo baskets, Shen Yanling's craftsmanship was excellent, and there was a bamboo forest behind the house, so he often made bamboo baskets to sell in the town to earn some money to subsidize the family. Ning'er remembered that she had just walked back and forth today, and she felt a little sorry for her husband, so she said, "I'm tired today, take a rest!"

Hearing that his wife cared about him, Shen Yanling's heart was warm, but she smiled and said: "If you are not tired, it is better to do a little more, and you will have one more person to eat in the future!"

Ning'er also smiled and went into the house. In the room, Ah Zheng half-knelt on the bed and teased the child, warmed up for a while, the child has been much better, the bruises on his face have receded, his skin is fair, his palm-sized face is extremely beautiful, and a pair of big eyes look around curiously, which makes people like it when they look at it.

Ning'er sat down on the edge of the bed, picked up the child, scooped the rice soup with a small spoon, and blew it until it was warm before feeding it to the child's mouth. The child was also hungry, smacked his lips and swallowed, and looked at Ning'er again with a pair of big watery eyes. Ning Er was happy, scooped another spoonful and fed it to the child, and the child ate it obediently. The child was very well-behaved, until a small bowl of rice soup was eaten, Ning'er put down the bowl, and the child was still staring at the small bowl. Ning Er sighed, it seems that this child has suffered a lot, he has been hungry for so long today, he is really hungry.

Ning'er held the child and coaxed for a while, the child fell asleep with his eyes closed, Ning'er put him on the bed and put him to sleep, remembering that the tobacco that Shen's father asked Shen Yanling to buy yesterday had not been delivered, so she asked Ah Zheng to send it to her grandfather, and she opened the cabinet to find the small clothes and quilts that Ah Zheng had used before, and planned to use them for the child.

After Ah Zheng went out, Shen Yanling pushed the door and came in, Ning Er knew that he had something to say, but she didn't stop what she was doing, and only signaled Shen Yanling to speak softer. Shen Yanling glanced at the sleeping child, sat down on the edge of the bed, and asked, "What I did today was a little reckless?"

Ning Er shook her head, "Compared to him, I'm probably about the same! Didn't you pick me up too? No matter what his identity is or what happened, he is an innocent child, and it is also our fate with him to save him." By the way, since you're our child, let's give him a name!"

Shen Yanling nodded, "Yes, the two of us are similar to him, so we can be regarded as sympathetic!" Shen Yanling said something like a broken jar, but it's not wrong to think about it. In the end, the child was named Shen Xuping, Xu is the character of Ah Zheng's generation, although the children of Shen Yanling's two brothers did not follow, but Shen Yanling and his fourth brother Shen Yanxiang's children all followed the word Xu, Ah Zheng's book name is Shen Xuzheng, and Shen Yanxiang's Xiaoyun's name is Shen Xuyun. The flat word is the hope of Shen Yanling and Ning'er, hoping that the family will be safe and sound, and Xiao Xuping can grow up safely, and his nickname is called Ah Ping.

When Ning'er found clothes for Ah Ping to change into, it was not too early, so she was ready to cook, and Shen Yanling also continued to weave bamboo baskets, the bed was relatively wide, and she didn't have to worry about such a young child falling off. Soon, Ah Zheng came back and said to Shen Yanling that Shen's father asked him to go over at night, Shen Yanling frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, probably knowing that they had picked up a child and came back, and had something to ask him.
