Yoshida Mii

Chapter 104
Dong Bao's head is aching and hurting at the moment. Judging from her previous and present life experiences, it is definitely due to a fever and illness. Maybe it's heatstroke from running under the sun in the morning, or maybe it's because she was too tired the previous period. After taking a rest for two days, the illness came up.No matter what the reason is, Dong Bao is so uncomfortable that he doesn't even have the strength to speak.

Holding her daughter in her arms, Mrs. Li was so angry that she held up a kitchen knife as if trying to fight others, and kicked out Song Shuhai and his wife who came to put on airs and preach.

Song Shuhai and his daughter-in-law just ran forward and stopped several steps outside the gate of Dongbao's house. They looked at Mrs. Li who was holding a kitchen knife at the door with lingering fear.

Under the starlight, Mrs. Li held up the kitchen knife, her face was full of anger, her red eyes were burning, and she stared at Song Shuhai.

Song Shuhai thought he hid at a safe distance, pointed at Mrs. Li and cursed, "Crazy, really crazy!"

"Get out! Get out! This is my house, you all get out!" Mrs. Li cursed, unable to speak because she was so angry and excited.

Song Shuhai resentfully wanted to curse a few more words, but he saw Li Shi throwing it heavily, and the kitchen knife flew towards him in a whirl. He was so scared that he took two steps back, and the kitchen knife stuck straight into the hard dirt road at his feet.

If he hadn't stepped back, the kitchen knife would have to be stuck in him now.

Song Donghai's daughter-in-law screamed, which was particularly abrupt in the quiet rural night, "Killer! Killer!"

"Don't get out?! If you dare to bully my daughter again, I'll hack you to death!" Li yelled through gritted teeth. She remembered that the iron fork of the Lin family was still standing by the courtyard wall. Chase people.

If it wasn't for Dongbao's severe headache and lack of energy at this moment, she would have laughed inappropriately, alas, hard work pays off, she finally upgraded Li Shi's timid and weak rabbit to a biting rabbit .

Song Shuhai's daughter-in-law screamed, and everyone around Dongbao's house got up to see what was going on, and many people gathered around to watch one after another.

"Miss Xiucai, what's going on?" Grandma Huaihua asked.

There were not many people in Tagouji who knew Song Shuhai, and the few idlers watching Song Shuhai and his wife snickered, and looked at Li Shi with ambiguous and contemptuous eyes.Don't be a widow who can't bear the loneliness, hooked up with a man, and was knocked at the door by him!

At this moment, Mrs. Li is full of concern for Dong Bao, ignoring the faces of all kinds of people around her, she hastily cried to Grandma Huaihua: "Auntie, Dong Bao is ill..."

Grandma Huaihua hurried over with a cane, touched Dong Bao's forehead, her face darkened, and she shouted, "Oh, this is a serious fever. Hurry up and go to the town to see a doctor. Don't delay the child's illness."

Dong Bao opened his eyes in a daze, and saw clearly that Grandma Huaihua was standing next to her. This old lady was quite kind, and she was usually very polite to herself and Mrs. Li.Even though he was sick, Dong Bao still cried twice and said, "Grandma, my grandpa and grandma forced me to give money to my mother and beat me..."

"Who beat you!" Song Shuhai felt that he was wronged. He just wanted to roll up his sleeves and yell again, but was dragged away by his wife and ran away from the crowd.

Grandma Huaihua recognized Song Shuhai, spat on the ground, pointed her crutch in the direction where Song Shuhai ran away, and cursed: "Bah, dirty stuff! Don't be afraid of retribution for committing crimes!" Then she turned to persuade Mrs. Li, "Hurry up and take the child to find him. Look at the doctor, I can't delay, my second sister-in-law's natal neighbor's child just got a fever and didn't see a doctor in time, so he got a fever..." Grandma Huaihua originally wanted to tell the truth, but then she thought about how orphans and widows are. Difficult, what would happen if I said unlucky words, so I swallowed the words.

The neighbors around are not lacking in kindness. At that moment, several strong men brought their wives to help Mrs. Li send Dongbao to the town. Said in his own ear: "Mom, go find Brother Dashi..."

At this moment, Mrs. Li was in a mess and lost her backbone. She listened to her daughter in everything, thanked those who wanted to help, and said that she was looking for help from Qiuxia's family. With Dongbao on his hands, he ran to Lin's house.

Along the way, Mrs. Li ran very fast, for fear of delaying a little effort. She couldn't see clearly when walking at night, and Mrs. Li bumped into her several times and almost fell down. When she ran to the door of Song's house, she heard Song's family The two women screamed sharply.

Mrs. Li didn't bother to worry about the noise of the Song family. When she saw the gate of the Lin family, Mrs. Li couldn't hold back her tears. She knocked on the door and cried, "Qiuxia, Qiuxia! Bao'er is sick." , what should I do?"

Almost at the same time, the lights in the Lin family's house were turned on, and everyone in the Lin family came out in their clothes. Even the youngest Quanzi looked worriedly at the tearful Li Shi.

Aunt Qiuxia quickly put a sticker on Dongbao's forehead, and exclaimed, "Why is it burning so badly? Isn't it still good when you eat!"

"Don't stand still!" Lin Fu made a quick decision, "Hurry up and send him to the doctor in town, the child is young, so we can't afford to delay." As he said that, he was about to take Dongbao from Mrs. Li's arms.

Lin Shi hurriedly stood in front of Lin Fu, and said, "I'd better go to town with Bao'er on my back, Dad, you have to go to work in the fields tomorrow."

Carrying Dong Baolai back to the town to run around is not an easy job.

When Lin Fu thought about it, it was also the same reason, the crops are not waiting for anyone in the field when they are ripe, if he collapsed from exhaustion, the family would lose a pillar, so he nodded and said: "Then you should carry Dongbao on your back. "

"I want to go too!" Quanzi shouted, tugging at Lin Fu's skirt.

Aunt Qiuxia patted him, "Why are you making trouble! Go back to the house with your father and go to bed, your sister Dongbao is fine, just take the medicine and you'll be ready!"

Quanzi pouted towards the noisy and vicious neighbor, with a face full of reluctance, and complained: "I can't sleep anyway..."

In the end, Aunt Qiuxia and Lin Shi accompanied Mrs. Li to take Dongbao to the town to see a doctor, while Lin Fu and Old Man Lin, the main laborers, took their sons to rest to cope with tomorrow's hard work.

In a daze, Dong Bao was supported by Li Shi on Lin Shi's back, and his thin arms were wrapped around Lin Shi's neck.Lin Shi walked so fast along the way that Dong Bao could hear his panting and his heart beating rapidly, and the sweat dripped onto her arms.

"Brother Dashi, don't run so fast, you're tired." Dong Bao muttered unconsciously.

Lin Shi heard the soft voice of the little girl next to his ear, smiled slightly, and lifted Dong Bao up with all his strength, and kept walking.

Several people were all on their way, worried about Dong Bao's health, and no one spoke.It usually takes half an hour to walk, but a few people arrived in a quarter of an hour.

Most of the shops in the town have been closed. Because of the wheat harvest, many shops will be closed for two days. The market in Yuanshui Town, which is bustling during the day, seems a bit depressed at the moment.

Following the direction in memory, Mrs. Li found the medicine shop where she and Dong Bao sold snake sloughs. Aunt Qiuxia hurried forward to knock on the door vigorously, and shouted: "Is the doctor there? There is a patient! "

After patting on the door for a long time, someone answered, "Come, come, come!" He removed a door panel, took an oil lamp and took a picture in front of several people, seeing that it was two women and a young man, he dispelled his guard. , asked: "What about the patient?"

Lin Shi quickly turned around, let the assistant look at Dong Bao who was lying on his back, and said anxiously: "This elder brother, my sister is sick, and she has a severe fever."

Under the oil lamp, Dong Bao's small face was burning red.

"Hurry up and come in!" The clerk of the pharmacy removed another door panel, enough for one person to pass through, and asked them to wait in the lobby for a while, and the doctor got up immediately and came over.

"It's also your luck!" said the boy, "Our doctor just came back from harvesting wheat today. If we had come here yesterday, it would be difficult to find a doctor in the whole town!"

Just as he was talking, an old man with a gray beard hurried over and asked, "Where is the patient? Who is it?"

Lin Shi hurriedly carried Dong Bao to a chair and sat down, and said, "It's my sister, she has a bad fever."

The doctor took the pulse first, and Mrs. Li watched worriedly from the side. The worry and fear in her heart could not be stopped, and she kept crying, but she didn't dare to make a sound to disturb the doctor's pulse diagnosis, so she could only cover her face and cry silently.

Aunt Qiuxia took her hand and comforted her softly, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

After diagnosing the pulse, the doctor asked what he had eaten in the past few days and whether he had caught a cold, and Li answered them one by one with tears in his voice.

The doctor stroked his beard and said, "There is nothing serious about it. Judging from the pulse, the child is weak and has a bit of heat stroke. I'd better take a few pills first to reduce the fever, and then slowly recuperate."

"Hey, hey." Mrs. Li responded quickly, and when the doctor said that Dong Bao was fine, a stone in her heart fell to the ground, with tears still on her face, she stammered, "Prescribe the medicine, prescribe it , Prescribe good medicine!"

The doctor quickly wrote the prescription and told the boy to go to the counter to get the medicine.Taking advantage of this gap, the doctor stroked his beard and looked at the crying woman holding the little girl, and couldn't help but say a few words, "The child is weak and tired. You have a lot of work at home, adults should do more." That's it, why don't you tire the child!"

When he was a doctor, he saw more of the cruel world, more of eccentric parents favoring their sons, and using their daughters as livestock.However, this mother seems to be quite reliable. If the daughter is really sick, she will still feel anxious and uncomfortable. After all, it is the flesh that fell from the mother. How can she not love the child.Being an elder brother is considered a responsibility. Seeing that this young man is covered in profuse sweat, he must have run all the way from some village.

Li's face turned red, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, tears fell again, she saluted the doctor and thanked him, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your reminder, it's me... this mother-in-law neglected."

Mrs. Li resented herself more and more. After all, she was useless, unable to support the family, her tired daughter was sick, and Dong Bao was only ten years old no matter how capable she was.
