"Because beyond this area, there might be big tigers, wolves, poisonous snakes and other very dangerous animals. Qibei might not be able to fight them, and you certainly wouldn't be able to, so you can only seek help from an adult."
Fang Yan still remembers that when she said those words, Xiao Yuzai was so frightened that his eyes widened and his face turned pale. Then he promised her, "Mom, I know. If it goes beyond this range, Qibei and I will go find an adult. We won't go up the mountain by ourselves."
After calming him down, Fang Yan then instructed Qi Bei, "Without an adult to guide you or give you permission, you and Qi Bei are not allowed to go up this mountain on your own, understand?"
"Woof woof woof," Qibei responded.
Fang Yan believed that with these instructions, Xiao Yuzai and Qi Bei wouldn't run up Lion's Roar Ridge for no reason just because they were playing around.
So here's the question: why did they go up the mountain without saying a word today?
Fang Yan couldn't figure out the answer to this question.
We can only give her an answer when the little fish wakes up.
"Doctor, when will the child wake up?" Fang Yan asked.
The male doctor put an IV drip on the little fish and then turned to check on Qibei's condition.
Upon hearing this, I took a moment to reply, "It depends on the child's physical condition. If things go well, the child might wake up around 11 or 12 at night. If things go slowly, it might be tomorrow."
So, I can't go home tonight.
Fang Yan thought to herself.
"This dog's condition is much more serious than the child's, and the cost of saving it will be much higher. Are you sure you want to save it?"
After examining Qibei and obtaining the results, the male doctor looked at Fang Yan and asked her again.
Today, Fang Yan and Xiao Yuzai were dressed simply, even though their clothes were not patched.
There was another bicycle outside, but it was unclear whether it was borrowed or belonged to them.
The male doctor couldn't tell Fang Yan's financial situation, so he could only advise her, "How about I have a nurse watch the baby for a while, and you can go back and discuss it with your family?"
Everyone is poor, yet saving a dog costs more than saving a child.
Many families would choose to save this money.
The male doctor was worried that rescuing a dog might cause family conflicts, or even lead to Fang Yan being beaten by the men in her family.
To the male doctor's surprise, Fang Yan said without even thinking, "Save it! As long as you can save its life, I don't care how much it costs. Please do everything you can to save it."
This was the first time the male doctor had ever seen someone willing to spend so much money on a dog.
He was completely stunned.
It was the nurse next to her who reacted first and advised Fang Yan, "It's just a dog, why spend this money? If you really like dogs, you can just get a new one after burying it."
If you know someone who has a puppy, you can get one for just a penny by giving them some food. Why waste your money?
The young nurse really couldn't understand it.
The male doctor was also puzzled, and he felt it necessary to report to Fang Yan the cost of saving the dog. "Saving it could cost over a hundred yuan. Are you sure you still want to save it?"
"save!"
Fang Yan first gave the male doctor a confident answer.
Then he looked at the nurse and said, "Even if you raise ten or eight more, they still won't be Chibees."
A hundred yuan is indeed a large sum of money these days.
But in Fang Yan's eyes, this money was not as important as Qibei.
Not to mention that she has been in business for so long and already has several hundred yuan in hand.
It can be easily taken out to save Qibei.
Even if she were penniless, she would have to borrow money to save it, even if it meant borrowing.
In Fang Yan's heart, ever since that night when Zhang Jizhou brought Qibei home, it has been a part of this family.
As long as it can be saved, she must do everything in her power to save it.
Both the male doctor and the nurse were taken aback by Fang Yan's answer.
Both of them thought to themselves that Fang Yan was a weirdo.
However, now that Fang Yan's attitude was clear, the male doctor did not hesitate any longer and began to prescribe medicine for Qi Bei.
Some medications that are safe for humans can also be used on dogs.
However, some items can only be purchased from the epidemic prevention station.
"Lend your bicycle to the nurse. These medicines can only be bought at the epidemic prevention station."
The male doctor handed one of the medication lists to the nurse, but turned to Fang Yan and said something.
Fang Yan immediately understood. While taking out her bicycle keys, she also handed the nurse three ten-yuan bills, saying, "Thank you for your help, young lady."
She generously gave thirty yuan, relieving the young nurse and male doctor of any worries.
They were initially worried that Fang Yan's quick agreement might lead to trouble if she couldn't come up with the money later.
In retrospect, their worries were completely unnecessary.
"Dogs can't be on hospital beds. The weather isn't cold now, so just let it lie here on the ground. You stay here and watch over it. If anything happens, call me from the office next door."
The male doctor had other things to do. After adjusting the drip rate of the IV for Xiaoyuzai again, he looked at Qibei, gave Fang Yan a few instructions, and then turned and left.
Dogs cannot stay in the ward.
To help Fang Yan take care of both the child and the dog, the male doctor found her a small storage room, built a new hospital bed for her, brought Xiaoyuzai over, and then brought Qibei over, and everything was taken care of.
The small storage room is small but quite clean, and it only contains small fish and kibbles, which is equivalent to a VIP private room.
Fang Yan was very satisfied. As soon as the male doctor left, she quickly went into the kitchen and filled two cups with spring water. She first fed the little fish half a cup.
I also fed Qibei a little more than half a cup.
Then they used the remaining spring water to clean their wounds.
"Third brother's wife, what happened? How could the child have been bitten by a snake on the mountain?"
Fang Yan had just finished cleaning their wounds when there was a knock on the door of the small storage room. When she opened it, she saw Zhang Zongde and the village chief standing anxiously outside.
"Uncle, Village Chief, what brings you here?" Fang Yan was quite surprised.
"Aunt De was worried that you wouldn't be able to manage everything at the hospital by yourself, so she had her eldest son come to find me and Uncle De," the village chief explained.
“The medication has already been administered, and the doctor said the child should wake up by tonight,” Fang Yan briefly explained the child’s condition to them. “Aunt De was right; the child was indeed bitten by a red-spear green snake.”
"I heard that the child took Qibei up the mountain alone?"
Zhang Zongde walked to the bedside, touched Xiaoyuzai's forehead, and sighed, "Fortunately, this kid is lucky; he encountered a red spear and a green snake."
It is poisonous and can be deadly.
But it won't kill you immediately.
Moreover, there will be no aftereffects after the detoxification is completed.
After clarifying the child's situation, the village chief whispered to Fang Yan in front of Zhang Zongde, "Was this incident today caused by Zhang Laowu again?"
