Chapter 40: The pit was dug and buried
Some old and weak women and children had already arranged for Li Zheng to move the land, but they didn't go far, and after removing all the luggage they could still want, they rested there.
However, no one was in the mood to sleep, and the wounded were howling all the time, and they were all nervous to watch over the wounded.
And Xia Qiyue kept holding Ke'er, gently patting her back to soothe, but An Qingke's condition was getting worse and worse, and she finally fell asleep leisurely, and the next second she woke up, and then began to cry.
Xuan'er's state is better than that of her sister, but she still cries all the time, and she is hugged and coaxed by Xia Jiu, which is useless.
The two sisters coaxed the children, and Xia Xinghe kept standing behind them with the sickle, his eyes guarded everywhere.
They were also frightened by their eldest sister's madness when they went to Zhage Mingyu's thighs just now, but when they saw the child being snatched away, they also had that kind of anger, so they didn't feel that the eldest sister had done too much at all, but they were afraid of the revenge of Lao An's family in the future, and Xia Xinghe didn't dare to close his eyes.
Liu Jiajia was also frightened, although he was not injured, but his stomach hurt all the time, the patriarch and his three sons were also injured to a greater or lesser extent, only eleven-year-old An Youwei and An Wang were busy taking care of them.
Xia Qiyue was concerned, but she couldn't let go of her hand at all, she faintly felt that the daughter in her arms was a little hot.
"Eldest sister, Xuan'er seems to be feverish!"
As soon as this feeling crossed his mind, his sister Xia Jiu next to him spoke up.
Xia Qiyue hurriedly reached out and touched his son's forehead, and sure enough, he had a fever, which was hotter than his daughter's forehead.
The son was born weak, although he was not thrown into the wolf's mouth, but he was still frightened, and the fever was also expected in Xia Qiyue.
But now that this situation is really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, where is she going to find a doctor?
They traveled overnight, and although it was dawn now, they did not know where they were now, let alone where they could get to the city.
It's impossible to go back, not to mention the long road, even the county order of Liulin County is not a good thing, and going back will only look for death.
"Both children have a fever...," Xia Qiyue said with a worried face.
"Eldest sister, what now? I don't know where it is, so I'll run ahead to see if there's any town, and then I'll come back to pick you up and take my two children to the doctor. ”
Xia Xinghe's brain is spinning fast at the moment, he is fast when he runs forward alone, if there is no town for a distance, he can change the direction, so as not to hold the children and toss.
But Xia Qiyue shook his head, "No, there are many forests in this area, it's not safe, in case a big guy comes out again, it's too dangerous for you to be alone!" “
After speaking, he took out a water bladder from the space under the cover of the back basket next to him, "Xinghe, you took the handkerchief and soaked it, and I put it on the forehead of the two children." ”
Xia Jiujiu looked worried, "Sister, can this work?" ”
"Now I can only do this first, if only there was liquor..."Xia Qiyue urged his younger brother again after speaking, asking him to hurry up and bring the handkerchief.
She didn't dare to waste water at will, so she could only soak the water into the veil little by little and put it on the forehead of the two children.
Ke'er was still talking nonsense, Xia Qiyue was afraid that the child would lose her soul with fright, so she learned from the principal's mother to call her soul.
It's useless at all, Ke'er still talks nonsense from time to time and has a fever.
Li Zheng has already called people to dig a pit, and those who have died cannot throw their bodies into the wilderness, so they can only bury them on the spot.
"Shunde, you find someone to explore the way, the eldest son of the Zhuangzhi family is about to die, hurry!"
The patriarch looked anxious, not only the eldest son of the Zhuangzhi family in his mouth, but also several, the injuries were particularly serious, and he was already out of breath and less in breath.
Li Zheng's face was dish, he didn't sleep all night, and after dark, he began to rush to zero morning, frightened and wolf-fighting, tired, anxious and worried.
When the sun began to be scorching, the pit was dug, and when it was time to escape the famine, they brought farm tools with them, and they dug the pit faster.
But the men who were digging the pit were exhausted and sat on the ground with a sigh of relief.
But the water still has to be saved, but fortunately, the water is filled with water bladders, and if it is a bucket, it will be scattered in the chaos last night.
"Zichen's family, how is the child?"
Xia Qiyue was wring the warm cloth clean and then soaking it with cold water in the space to apply it, when the voice of the patriarch's daughter-in-law, An Wang, sounded overhead.
Xia Qiyue raised his head, "Aunt Wang, the two children are scared, and they have a fever repeatedly, Uncle Li Zheng sent someone to explore the way, I don't know if I came back, I am in a hurry to find a doctor to take a look." ”
She couldn't wait to take her two children to find a doctor, but she was stopped by the patriarch and Li Zheng, saying that they had already asked people to explore the way, and there were many injured people in the village, so they all had to deal with their wounds, and it was safer for everyone to walk together.
She thought about it, then wait a little longer, if it doesn't work for a while, she will have to set off on her own, and the two children will have a fever like this, and their brains will be burned out.
"I'll see..."An Wang's spread his hand and touched Ke'er's forehead, and his brows furrowed, so hot.
"Zichen's family, the child is frightened, it can't be like this, you have to hurry up and let people summon the spirit! In this way, the aunt will go and find the carpenter's house, and she will summon spirits! ”
After speaking, without waiting for Xia Qiyue to speak, he was already looking for someone in the crowd.
It didn't take long for Gao Bai, the daughter-in-law of the carpenter, to be pulled by An Wang's family, and the thin and weak little old woman was dragged away, snoring and panting.
However, I heard that it was Xia Qiyue's two children, so she still took her things and followed.
Gao Bai is kind and kind, and she likes children, so she was a little anxious when she heard that children were shocked.
After dawn, she had already summoned several children, so after following her, she didn't let the Xia Qiyue sisters get up, so she held the children and started her spiritualist ritual.
Xia Qiyue couldn't understand it, the gods were chattering, and they were painting circles and lighting incense.
However, it didn't last long, he stopped moving, and used the lit incense to turn three times clockwise and three times counterclockwise on the top of the two children's heads.
"That's it! The fever will go away slowly, so don't worry too much! The two children were frightened, it's okay! ”
Gao Bai's face was full of smiles, and Xia Qiyue looked particularly good-looking at this moment, which could give her a sense of peace of mind.
I don't know why, Xia Qiyue especially believes in the Gao Bai clan in front of him at this moment.
"Thank you Aunt Bai for helping, I don't know what to do in July, the two children have a fever at the same time, and they are at a loss."
Xia Qiyue put the daughter in her arms on the mattress on the ground, stood up and thanked her, then turned around and took out two eggs from the space under the cover of the basket, covered them with her sleeves and handed them over.
"Aunt Bai, I'm a little strapped now, and when I have the money, I'm going to thank you for your help."
Xia Qiyue knows that every bit of grace is reciprocated, and she doesn't dare to bet on the ugliness of human nature now, she wants to give the other party benefits, enough benefits, so that the other party will be willing to help her again and again.
