"It's just that the stomach is weak. Mrs. Lin, if your family has good conditions and you hire a good doctor, you will be able to take care of it. This child Erniu is smart, sensible, and kind. He will accompany you well. Please think about it again. ?”
Director Min saw that Zeng Xuezhi was planning to give up, so he quickly persuaded him.
Zeng Xuezhi looked at Er Niu and then at Er Niu. The more he looked at it, the more reluctant he was to let go of it. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He gritted his teeth and finally decided to adopt Er Niu.
But when Erniu heard her say that she would only take him with her, he suddenly turned around and ran away.
He ran so neatly.
The two short legs were so erratic that no one could react for a moment.
By the time I caught up with him, the child had already slipped out of the gate.
In front of the door, on the official road.
A group of people on horseback were coming from the left, preparing to pass the gate.
The two cows ran out one by one.
The black horse at the head was about to trample the child. He stood up, neighed, stepped on the spot with his two hind hooves, turned around, and pushed away the white horse on the side.
After borrowing the strength, he will fall down again.
Taking advantage of the situation, he blocked the horses coming from behind.
Erniu stared blankly, frightened.
Di Ying jumped off the horse, picked up the child, carried it aside, sat on the stone steps, put the child on his lap, and gently patted the child's back.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, uncle is here."
Child: "Wow".
Vomited.
Vomited all over Di Ying.
Di Ying's action of stroking the child only paused for a moment, and then continued.
He also continued to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, it will feel much better after you vomit."
Wuyun thought he had gotten into trouble, so he leaned over and gently rubbed his big head against the child's small body. This miraculously reduced the child's nervousness a lot.
At this time, Director Min and Zeng Xuezhi chased him out of the gate.
Seeing this situation, Director Min saluted apologetically: "Thank you and your horse. I'm sorry that our negligence allowed the child to run out. Look at the vomit for you... I'm really sorry."
Zeng Xuezhi was a little at a loss.
She had never taken care of a child before and didn't know how to deal with this situation.
She wanted to step forward and take the child, but the child was sitting in the arms of a young man, and it was inappropriate for her to get close.
Won't you answer? The child is yours, you can't just vomit all over someone else and ignore it, right?
"Are you here to adopt a child?"
Di Ying saw the embarrassment of the gentle woman in front of him, so he turned to look at the plaque on the door and asked the woman again.
Zeng Xuezhi nodded.
He replied: "This child's name is Erniu. The peasant woman was discussing with him just now about taking him to be the daughter of a peasant woman. But he suddenly ran out. I'm sorry, I got you dirty. I'll go back and apologize to the peasant woman." You are wearing a robe."
"The robe is not tight."
Di Ying replied.
Seeing that the child stopped vomiting and was only holding on to him tightly, Di Ying freed up a hand to feel the child's pulse.
Among the food residues vomited by the child, many rice grains were intact, the vegetables were not very mushy, and the smell was a bit abnormal.
Apparently the child may have digestive issues.
Sure enough, after carefully checking the pulse, gently turning over the child's eyelids, and looking at his tongue coating, Di Ying confirmed this.
So he said to the woman and the old woman who were looking at him blankly: "This child was born with a weak stomach and was sent here without proper medical treatment, right?
I'm afraid your conditions are limited, so you have to give him some or no treatment. If things go on like this, this child will not live to be eight years old. "
With that said, he hugged the child and stood up.
Then he said to the gentle woman: "But it's not a big problem. It seems that your family's conditions are good. I will give you a prescription later. If you insist on helping him with the treatment for a month, there will be no serious problem."
It's up to you: your liver qi is stagnated and your appetite and sleep are reduced, and you shouldn't continue to do so.
Since you have decided to adopt this child, take good care of yourself and him. "
Hearing this, Zeng Xuezhi was shocked.
She gently stroked her cheek and thought to herself: Yes, if her own body can't support it, then how can she take care of the child? What do you use to find a husband?
It was because she only focused on picking on others, but forgot to look at herself. He really almost harmed others and himself.
"If you hadn't pointed it out, I would have neglected myself. Thank you little brother for your reminder. I will definitely correct it in the future."
Zeng Xuezhi said and gave a light salute.
Among these young men on horseback, this one is obviously the leader. They all looked like nobles. Although they were simply dressed, none of the common people could afford to ride a horse.
However, Zeng Xuezhi is Mrs. Sima and has a high status. There is no problem in calling them little brothers.
Di Ying glanced at her, nodded, and was about to hand the child over.
But the child just held on to him, with his head tilted on his shoulder and his forehead against his neck, quite hard.
Director Min wanted to pick it up, but even after coaxing him a few times, he couldn't.
Di Ying asked her: "The child doesn't want to go with you, why?"
Director Min replied with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "It's not that this child doesn't want to have a mother, it's that he doesn't want to leave on his own, and wants the children he's friends with to go with him."
"in this way,"
Di Ying nodded in understanding.
It is inevitable for a child to be frightened when he is about to go to a strange place with a stranger, leaving his familiar environment and the people he already considers as relatives.
No matter how much you long for father's love or mother's love in your heart, you will still be afraid.
"You should come more often and have more contact with this child, instead of asking people to follow you when you come. It is inevitable that this child will have resistance.
Let's go in first, I'll prescribe the child's medicine, and my people will get it. More to come later. "
After Di Ying said a few words to the little woman, she carried the child and entered the door behind her.
When Zeng Xuezhi heard this, he realized where he had gone wrong. He felt a little ashamed and embarrassed for a moment, and twisted the handkerchief with his fingers.
However, he still followed in with his feet.
…
After Di Ying fed the child some rice porridge, medicine, and three injections, the child finally fell into a deep sleep.
Di Yingcai put the child back on the bed and went to the well to take a shower.
Nie Bo brought the hot water heated by the guards and put it under the curtain to help the adults rinse.
At the same time, he asked curiously: "Sir, that lady seems to be quite kind-hearted. She is still guarding Er Niu Wa's bedside. Is it okay for Er Niu Wa to follow her?"
"There's nothing we can do if there's a problem. It's better than staying in the Salesian Division." Di Ying replied.
He was bent over, with his hands on his knees, and Fang Bin was rubbing his hair.
Peng Liang stood in the corner of the curtain, only focusing on protecting the safety of the adults.
"I think this 'Salesian Department' is quite good. Is the director's surname Min? I heard the children call her Grandma Min. She is very good to the elderly and children." Nie Bo asked.
