Li Yan, a university graduate and village official dedicated to poverty alleviation, accidentally transmigrated into Li Family Village, nestled in a mountain gully. Her family was impoverished. Due...
Looking at the stubborn little girl, Li Erlang had no choice but to give up.
When the food was served, Lin Xia stared at it intently. The family had not eaten meat for a long time. Now, seeing the snow-white and soft white flour buns and the stewed rabbit meat with a rich aroma, the little girl couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
Li Yan felt a little sad when she saw her like this. In her memory, her uncle's family should live in a big tiled house and have no worries about food and drink. If she hadn't met him today, she would not have known that her uncle's family also lived a tight life!
Looking at Lin Xia who was eager to eat, Li Yan picked up a large piece of rabbit meat and put it in Lin Xia's bowl: "Xiao Xia, eat!"
Lin Xia thanked him politely and started eating in small bites.
As they were eating, they heard their uncle's voice outside the door. Li Yan stood up and looked over, only to see her aunt running over in a hurry: "Yan'er, I remember you said you knew a doctor in the city. Can you take us there? Dazhuang has been vomiting and having diarrhea for two days, and now he can't even speak clearly and is in a daze, unable to respond!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yan hurried outside to check, and saw a middle-aged man with dark skin holding a child of seven or eight years old in his arms. The child's eyes were closed and he fell limply in the man's arms, as if he had lost his life.
Li Yan's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "Aunt, this child has had diarrhea for two days and hasn't had a drop of water?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Jia Dalang immediately replied, "My Dazhuang has had severe diarrhea these past two days, and I really don't dare give him anything to eat!"
How could this be possible? Diarrhea would cause electrolyte imbalance and severe dehydration! Li Yan didn't have time to explain and immediately said, "Aunt, quickly prepare some sugar and salt water! After feeding them water, we can set off again!"
She knew that sugar and salt water was a simple and effective oral rehydration method that could quickly replenish the body's lost fluids and electrolytes.
Without asking any more questions, Sun hurriedly fetched warm water and an appropriate amount of salt and sugar. Li Yan quickly poured the mixture into a bowl and stirred it all together. She carefully approached the man with the salt and sugar solution. "Trust me, I've seen doctors treat diarrhea patients like this before. Feed him this!"
Sun Dalang took the bowl and fed it to his son. At first, the boy was a little resistant, but Sun Dalang coaxed him softly, "Dad Zhuang, this is sugar water. Drink it and you'll feel better!"
As if hearing his father's words, the boy slowly swallowed the sugar and salt water on his lips.
The sugar and salt water slowly flowed into the child's mouth, and his body gradually responded. His eyelids moved slightly, and his breathing became slightly stronger.
Seeing that the child seemed to be conscious, the aunt excitedly grabbed Li Yan's hand and choked up, "Good child, today is thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid of Dazhuang..." Sun didn't say the rest.
When she and her husband rushed to her parents' home, they saw a nun dressed as a fortune teller, muttering and making gestures around her unconscious nephew, chanting something!
Lin An immediately stepped forward and pushed the witch away, then asked Sun Dalang, "The child is so sick, and you didn't even take him to the hospital. Are you trying to kill him?"
At this moment, Sun Dalang's face was filled with anxiety: "I... I am at my wit's end!"
Sun hurried forward, hugged her nephew and said to her brother, "Let's take Dazhuang to the clinic!" After that, she carried the child and went out.
Seeing her business was going to fail, the witch threatened: "This child has been bewitched by something dirty. If you interrupt me like this, if anything happens to the child, it will be your responsibility!"
Lin An angrily yelled at the witch: "Get out!" He never believed in supernatural things, and he hated these deceitful nuns the most in his life!
Without time to pay attention to the nun, Lin An called Sun Dalang and they set off quickly.
