Chapter 195 Have you ever been to...
Shen Qingran watched the changes in the expression of the woman opposite her.
He calmly asked, "Is there anything else you are hiding?"
Li Chunchun stammered, "I just drank a little bit of incense ash."
Incense ash?
In this era when feudal superstition is so strictly enforced, there are still people doing this in private.
Apparently the middle-aged woman didn't expect this either.
"Chunchun, didn't mom tell you not to drink that kind of stuff? Why did you give it to your sister-in-law?"
"That stuff will give you diarrhea if you drink it!"
Shen Qingran glanced at the middle-aged woman.
This mother-in-law really has an indescribable contradiction.
You say she has brains, but she feeds her daughter-in-law raw snails. You say she has no brains, but she even knows that incense ash cannot be drunk.
Shen Qingran couldn't help but be curious, "Have you ever drunk it?"
The middle-aged woman said sternly, "Doctor, many people in the village have drunk that stuff before. It's useless. The government has publicized that it's feudal superstition."
"Then why do you let your daughter-in-law eat raw snails?"
The middle-aged woman was stunned.
"I, I have no choice. Xiaoli has given birth to too many children. Our family is really in financial difficulty."
"Again, again, our life is not easy. Chunchun happened to say that she knew a way. She is a high school student, so she is more educated than me. I thought that eating it once or twice would be fine, but I didn't expect..."
As she spoke, the woman burst into tears.
Shen Qingran asked some other questions about their medical history before letting them leave.
Qin Xiangbei looked at Shen Qingran with some worry.
"Comrade Qingran, is Sister Xiaozi's illness serious?"
Shen Qingran nodded. "Because we are not sure how many there are and where they are, it is very troublesome."
When Mu Xiaozi heard this, she bit her lower lip and clenched her hands into fists, “Doctor Shen, I know you are a good doctor, please.”
Shen Qingran only found out from her gradual explanation that the two sisters depended on each other, and Li Yong was her sister's childhood sweetheart, and the two had a very good relationship.
His sister has been married to Li Yong for five years and has five children.
Two twins.
I went to the health center to get family planning supplies before, but I don’t know what happened, but I still got pregnant after using them.
That's why Li Yong's mother wanted to find a way to help Mu Xiaoli with contraception.
Shen Qingran originally thought that she did not use any contraceptive measures, but she did not expect that she would get pregnant again after using them.
"She did it twice in a row because the condom didn't work?"
Mu Xiaozi blushed a little, "Yes, that's right, my sister complained to me about this."
Shen Qingran suddenly felt something was wrong.
It is understandable that someone slipped through the net once, but if you buy lottery tickets twice in a row, your winning rate will not be as high as theirs!
Shen Qingran thought of Li Chunchun's expression just now and spoke in a low voice.
He whispered something into Mu Xiaozi's ear.
Mu Xiaozi's eyes widened and her expression changed.
“Doctor Shen, you mean…”
Shen Qingran: "I'm just guessing. I'll see what's going on first."
Mu Xiaozi clenched her fist, "Sorry to bother you, Doctor Shen."
Qin Xiangbei watched Mu Xiaozi rush out and said, "Comrade Qingran, I'm sorry to bother you!"
Shen Qingran looked at the two people's backs and smiled.
I didn’t expect Qin Xiangbei to find such a hot-tempered girl, but they are a good match.
Shen Qingran packed her things and prepared to go to the ward, but she didn't expect her heart to suddenly tighten.
What's going on?
Am I too tired recently?
Shen Qingran took his own pulse and found everything was normal.
Without thinking too much, I went to the intensive care unit.
Mu Xiaoli's body needs a comprehensive scan.
Only then can the specific plan be determined.
By the time I finish a set of work, it's time to get off work.
Shen Qingran stretched lazily.
Wear a scarf and gloves.
Pack up and get ready to go home.
I was thinking about how to get better treatment.
Mu Xiaoli is lucky because she has the virus in her lungs, but not in other parts of her body.
The lungs require surgery, while other parts can be treated with decoctions.
It's just that her physical foundation is weak.
Just as he was thinking about it, Shen Qingran passed by the tube-shaped building next to the rented house.
I saw that the tube-shaped building, which should have been filled with smoke and noisy and bustling, was now surrounded by a group of people.
"Oh, what a sin."
"How did you get up there?"
"Where are the little kid's family members!?"
"His grandma went out to buy groceries. I just saw it!"
“It’s going to fall!”
"Think of a solution quickly!"
Shen Qingran looked up and saw a child holding onto the tarpaulin of the rainproof cloth by the window on the third floor, sliding down little by little.
The strength of a child's hands is very small.
"Hurry up and build the human ladder." Someone shouted.
At this point, not many young people have returned.
They are all old men and women.
I saw a young man in work clothes patting my shoulder and saying, "I'm at the bottom."
The capable old man handed the pipe to his wife next to him. "I'll do it!"
Neighbors all around began to pile up one by one.
I saw the middle-aged female comrade at the top swaying constantly.
"No way, that window is too small."
"It would be nice to have a thinner lesbian."
Shen Qingran: "I, I'll do it!"
Everyone looked towards her.
"Comrade, I'm here."
We don’t know her, but we are touched to see her being so positive.
"Little girl, thank you for your help!"
With the support of everyone, Shen Qingran stood tremblingly on the person at the top step by step.
Others held onto the wall to prevent themselves from falling.
Shen Qingran mustered up her courage and looked at the child who was about to fall next to her.
"Don't be afraid, we are here to rescue you!"
"Woooooooooo."
The gentle voice seemed to soothe the child's restless heart.
The child looked at Shen Qingran with tears and snot, still afraid.
He started crying again.
Shen Qingran said in a clear voice, "Can you come a little closer?"
She held out her hands. "Give me your hands, please?"
The child was obviously so frightened that he didn't let go at all.
The guy at the bottom was already grinning.
"Hold on a little longer, comrade!"
Shen Qingran felt their anxiety.
"Baby, let go, I'll catch you, don't be afraid."
The child seemed to look at Shen Qingran hesitantly and tried to stretch out his left hand.
"Scared, woooooooo."
Shen Qingran was also very anxious.
I had no choice but to grit my teeth and reach towards the window.
"ah--"
Everyone was shocked. "Comrade."
"It's okay, I'll try to catch him."
The people below were shocked and moved by her behavior.
"Hold on a little longer, everyone help hold on!"
The group of people making the human ladder were no longer leaning against the wall, and everyone moved to the side.
"The little girl stepped on it."
Shen Qingran looked down at the middle-aged aunt's simple smile, "Aunt, thank you."
At this time, Zhao Donglai was originally preparing to come and look for someone.
He thought something was wrong and ran over in a hurry, but he didn't expect to see Shen Qingran leap up and grab the window with one hand.
When I saw her struggling to live on the edge of the bed, and struggling to reach out her hand to comfort someone.
Zhao Donglai's heart was hit hard.
The scene in front of me directly overlapped with a scene in my memory.
That year, the scorching sun baked the sycamore leaves until their edges curled up, and cicadas screamed at the top of their voices on the treetops.
A little girl wearing clothes patched up on top of patches, her body covered with grass clippings.
The pretty little face stood under the tree with a puzzled expression.
"Little brother, can't you come down?"
The boy held onto the tree trunk tightly, whimpering, "I, I can't get down."
The little girl looked at him and cried.
"Don't be afraid, little brother."
As she spoke, she kicked her worn-out cloth shoes aside and stepped barefoot onto the raised tree knot.
The voice was nice and soft, "I'll climb up to accompany you."
The boy watched her tiptoe and grab the rough bark, her arms were scratched with bleeding marks.
I have forgotten to cry.
The little girl climbed up with a smile on her face, not caring about the scars on her hands.
"Little brother, give me a hand."
The little boy stretched out his hand, only to feel something sticky on it.
A sweet aroma of maltose wafted into my nose.
The little girl looked at his tears without looking down on him. She took out half a piece of candy from her pocket like a magic trick. The candy wrapper glowed with colorful halos in the sun: "This is a reward from the commune. Little brother, I'll give it to you. Don't cry!"
The little boy only remembered that her teeth were as white as freshly peeled water chestnuts.
"My dad said that if you eat candy, you can't cry."
The boy reached out his hand with tears in his eyes.
Suddenly, the branches snapped.
In the moment of weightlessness, he saw the little girl rushing towards him with her arms open.
Two figures crashed into the thick pile of sycamore leaves, startling a flock of sparrows.
The two looked at each other and smiled, "Hahaha."
The little girl pulled out a shiny silver lock from her neck and said, "This is the amulet my father carved for me. I'll lend it to you."
Maltose still stuck to her fingertips as she clumsily gave the frightened boy a red string, "Wear this and you won't fall when you climb a tree."
Cicadas continued to chirp, and not far away there came a chaotic sound of footsteps mixed with shouts.
The boy hurriedly tried to pull the silver lock on his neck, but the girl held his hand and said, "Hide it well!"
With that, the little girl put on her worn-out shoes and ran away.
The shadows of the trees swayed in the mottled sunset.
He only saw the little girl jumping around.
When I was distracted.
I saw the woman opposite had successfully reached the ground with the child in her arms.
The crowd burst into applause.
"Well done, comrade!"
Shen Qingran took a breath and smiled.
"As long as the child is okay."
He turned and walked towards the bicycle.
Shen Qingran looked up and saw Zhao Donglai staring at her with a complicated expression.
The sight of that gave her a chill.
What the hell.
It's disgusting.
She ignored her.
Put on your scarf and gloves, push the bike and prepare to ride home.
When you pedal, you find that the bicycle doesn’t move?
Look back.
Then I saw Zhao Donglai holding on to the back seat tightly.
His eyes were dark and a little persistent.
There was even some tremor in the voice.
“Have you ever been to Huangjiagou when you were a child?”
“Ever come across a little boy climbing a tree?”
"Did you give him anything?"
"Are you...?"
"That's enough! Zhao Donglai, what's wrong with you?"
"If you keep doing this, I'll report you for harassing a lesbian!"
Zhao Donglai looked at Shen Qingran with cold eyes and disdain on his face.
Those eyes were filled with disgust.
The kind of disgust that is naked and unconcealed.
Zhao Donglai didn't know why, but he felt his heart skip a beat.
There was a dull pain rising from the bottom of my heart.
"I, I just want to ask......"
Shen Qingran shouted angrily: "Let go!"
Zhao Donglai let go of his hand somewhat helplessly.
"Shen Qingran, I just want to ask if you have ever been there..."
