As she spoke, she walked towards the house. Out of curiosity and suspicion of the old woman, Luo Lan also followed in with A Cai and A Hong.
When they came to the back room, they were stunned by the sight in front of them.
They saw a little boy sitting on the bed that was not spacious. His hands were tied with iron chains, and he was looking at them with a pair of big eyes. He kept whimpering from his mouth.
The old woman stepped forward, cleaned the dirt under him, and changed him to a clean mat. Then she turned back to Luo Lan, bowed apologetically and said:
"I'm going to make you laugh. This child has been coughing and wheezing since he was born, and he often cries incessantly. In the most serious cases, he will fall asleep. After seeing the doctor, he said that the child may have chest paralysis, which cannot be cured, but I My son doesn’t believe this evil, and all the monthly silver issued by the military camp is used to treat his illness. My body is not up to par, and I feel like a fistula all day long. Alas! Over the years, in order to treat our mother and me, I have The family really cannot make ends meet, otherwise...otherwise my son wouldn't be able to do such a thing..."
Luo Lan listened to the old woman's words, and out of a doctor's instinct, she took two steps forward, bowed and looked at the child, who shrank in fear.
Luo Lan stretched out his hand and chuckled at him:
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. Let me see your hands, okay?"
"not good."
The little boy's voice was weak, but there was a strength in it.
"Let me see your little hands. I'll take you to play later, okay? I'll also buy you delicious food."
Hearing this, the child hesitated and timidly put his little hand in hers.
Luo Lan took his hand, put her fingers on his pulse, and checked his pulse with a frown.
The child's pulse is very weak and beats very slowly. Judging from her many years of medical experience, the child's disease, as the doctor said, is chest obstruction, which is commonly known as congenital heart disease in modern medicine.
No wonder he often has symptoms of coma. Without effective treatment, it is not easy for this child to live to be three years old.
She patted the child's little hand, turned around and said to the old woman:
"Take him with you and go to the military camp!"
The old woman was stunned for a moment and asked worriedly:
"The doctor said that this child should move less and go out less often, otherwise his heart may fall off at any time, or he may die at any time..."
The old woman's words were not unfounded. The child's chest paralysis was very serious and his heart could stop beating at any time. In this era of medical occlusion, the longer he waited, the more dangerous he would be.
But when this kid met a modern doctor like her, he was lucky.
Thinking of this, she took out two cardiotonic pills from her sleeves and handed them to the old woman.
"Take these two pills for him. If you want to save your son, don't waste any more time. Wait until his head falls to the ground. It will be too late."
When she heard the words "head on the ground", the old woman's body trembled, and then she put the two small pills that she thought were very strange into the little boy's mouth.
After seeing the little boy take the medicine, Luo Lan stood up and told the old woman:
"Change his clothes. You only have a quarter of an hour, don't delay for too long."
"The civilian woman understands, the civilian woman will change it now."
After answering this sentence, the old woman hurriedly went to change clothes for her grandson. Luo Lan took A Cai and A Hong to the yard to wait.
Looking at the clear sky, A Cai couldn't help but whisper,
"Princess, that child is so pitiful. He is so young and has a disease that could kill him at any time."
Luo Lan was in a very depressed mood. Ever since An An was lost, nothing had happened that made her happy.
If she hadn't seen this poor child, she would never have gone to the military camp to meddle in such nosy matters.
After a while, the old woman came out with the child in her arms. Seeing her trembling hands, as if she might fall at any time, Ah Hong stepped forward and picked up the child.
The five of them quickly got into the carriage and headed straight to the military camp outside the city.
It was still some time before noon. Leng Yu was sitting there with a dark face in the military camp. Liu Dechang was sitting on his right side and spoke to dissuade him:
"He didn't steal much, so why did he have to make such a big show? Just hit a few boards."
"If you indulge him this time, there may be many moths coming out of this military camp next time. If you don't kill them, it won't be enough to establish military prestige."
"Hey! That's right. Military law is ruthless. Who told him to despise military law? By the way, those 10,000 elite soldiers searched inside and outside the capital for a day and found nothing. Should we expand the search scope?"
Mentioning this matter, Leng Yu's face seemed to be stained with another layer of frost.
He clenched his fists hard, slapped the table hatefully, and said through gritted teeth:
"I have ordered people to post notices across the country and notify officials everywhere. I do not believe that An'an will disappear from this world."
"Well, Lan'er is not here now. I should have said this a long time ago. Do you think An An might have been eaten by wild beasts? Although there has been no war recently, we cannot take it lightly. We spend so much time searching for someone, It’s inevitable that it will catch people’s lips, and besides, if you don’t even have a score, when will it end?”
"An'an will not be eaten by wild beasts."
Although Leng Yu also knew that Liu Dechang's words were reasonable, he did not want to believe it.
He slapped the table hard again and said angrily:
"I have ordered that all the soldiers who went to search for her will be withdrawn tonight. I cannot use so much manpower from the court to find my daughter, but I will let the brothers from the Rebirth Hall spread out to search. I believe they are all over the country. My brother will help me find my daughter. I also believe that An An will come back safely. She is so smart and cute. Even if the monster sees her, it will not touch her at all. She must have been rescued. Maybe she Forgot the way home..."
Leng Yu wanted to find the reason why An An didn't go home for ten days, but all the reasons seemed pale and feeble in the face of the facts.
Liu Dechang's turbid eyes flashed a few times, raised his beard again, and said hatefully:
"Is it possible that someone found An An first and deliberately prevented her from coming back in order to confuse your mind? For example, when you arrived there that day, Leng Ming had already found Lele first. This is very suspicious."
That day, Leng Ming was playing with three children in the imperial garden, and something like this happened at night.
Liu Dechang's words reminded Leng Yu that he had only been looking for An An these days and had forgotten to find out why Leng Ming found Lele first.
It seemed that he needed to check on Leng Ming. Could it be that he would take his anger out on his three children because of the quarrel with him?
Thinking of this, the veins on his face began to pop, and his teeth began to chatter.
At this moment, Xiao Lingzi came to report in a hurry,
"Your Majesty, the princess is here."
What?
Leng Yu looked at him puzzledly,
"Why did the princess come to the military camp?"
Liu Dechang also stood up and said anxiously:
"Lan'er will come to the military camp. There must be something important. Please invite her in quickly."
Leng Yu was already taking long strides towards the door.
