If I had known that life would be so good following the Ye family, I should have sent Dabao to be raised in their family.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Madam Shan's mind, making her look at Qingtian more and more greedily.
She remembered that Qingtian loved her younger brother very much when they were young. Even when Dilong turned over, she stood above her younger brother regardless of everything.
Now that we live in such a remote gold mine, we can still encounter sunny days. Maybe it is a gift from God to us.
The more Mrs. Shan thought about it, the more she felt that it was right.
She had been married for many years but had no children. After picking up Qingtian, she became pregnant and gave birth to a son.
Now my family is not living well and my son is weak and sickly, but then another sunny day came.
This must be God helping us!
But just when Madam Shan was about to catch up and recognize Qingtian, someone suddenly grabbed her arm from behind.
"Mrs. Shanda, why are you still here?"
Madam Shan turned around and saw that it was her neighbor, Madam Guo, who was holding her. She immediately frowned and said unhappily, "I came to the town to buy something, is that not okay?"
After she said that, she quickly turned around to look for Qingtian, but found that those people were gone.
Qingtian and her group were going to the gold mine today, which was something she had been looking forward to for a long time, but she was a little distracted while sitting on the horse.
Fortunately, Qin Hexuan had been paying attention to her every move and stepped forward in time to grab the reins and pull her towards him, thus preventing Qingtian's horse from hitting the pedestrians.
Qingtian was startled and quickly apologized to the passerby. Then he came to his senses and said, "Brother Qin, thank you so much."
"You were fine just now, why did you suddenly become absent-minded?" Qin Hexuan asked.
Qingtian frowned and looked back. She seemed to hear someone calling "Madam Shan" just now.
Even after so many years, this name still makes her heart tremble and she subconsciously wants to curl up.
But when she looked in the direction of the sound, she did not see the figure she remembered.
Moreover, the world is so big, and although the surname Shan is not very common, it does exist.
It must be just a coincidence, right?
Thinking of this, Qingtian shook his head, shaking off all those messy thoughts just now, and smiled again: "It's okay, let's go to the gold mine quickly, I can't wait."
As they were talking, they had already left the small town. There were obviously fewer people on the road, so the four of them sped up and rushed towards the gold mine.
In the town, Mrs. Shan was stopped by her neighbor and lost sight of Qingtian, which made her very angry.
But Mrs. Guo's next words shocked her heart.
"Your house is on fire and everyone is looking for you. Go back quickly!"
"What? It's on fire?" Mrs. Shan's eyes widened instantly. "How could my house catch fire out of nowhere? My Dabao is still at home!"
At this time, Mrs. Shan no longer cared about whether it was a sunny day or Mrs. Guo, and ran home.
She ran home in one breath, and when she saw the dire state of her house, she instantly lost all strength and collapsed into a heap.
The roof of the adobe house had collapsed, the walls made of yellow mud had been burned black, and the wooden doors and windows had been burned to ashes. The darkness was so dark that it was frightening to look at.
Everything in the house was burned, and the ground was covered with black ash mixed with water poured in by the neighbors to help put out the fire. It was impossible to recognize its original appearance.
"Dabao! Dabao! My son!"
Mrs. Shan sat on the ground, slapping her legs and crying, but she didn't even have the courage or strength to go in and take a look.
It was the neighbor who called out to her, "Mrs. Shanda, please stop crying. Dabao has been rescued, but he choked on the smoke and has burns on his body. Please take him to the hospital immediately!"
When she heard that her son was still alive, Mrs. Shan jumped up from the ground and struggled to the child.
Shan Dabao's face was pale, his body was soft, and even his cry was as weak as a kitten's.
His clothes had been burned to pieces, and there were burn marks on his arms and legs.
When Mrs. Shan saw her son like this, she burst into tears again.
Fortunately, the neighbor was kind enough to drag out his own flatbed cart and help her take the child to the clinic.
The doctor at the clinic couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Shan Dabao's appearance.
Mrs. Shan immediately knelt down before the doctor and said, "Please, I only have this one son. You must save him!"
The doctor sighed and said, "I can only do my best."
After examining the child's injuries, the doctor frowned even more.
"The child's burns were too severe for me to handle.
"If your family can find someone to go to the mine and ask for some burn medicine, there might be some hope."
"My husband is at the mine. I'll go find him right away!" Mrs. Shan said as she ran out.
Seeing this, the apprentice in the clinic hurriedly said, "This consultation fee..."
It’s not that he only cares about money, but the main reason is that the child’s injuries are too serious, and his parents may just abandon the child and run away.
The clinic has encountered such situations before.
I spent a lot of money and effort to treat the child, but the child's parents had already returned home to pack up and run away. Not only can I not find anyone to ask for the medical fees and medicine expenses, but I also left the child behind like a hot potato.
The neighbor who helped bring Shan Dabao over said, "Don't worry. She and her husband love their child very much. They only have one child, so they won't abandon him."
After leaving the clinic, Mrs. Shan quickly stopped a donkey cart and headed straight for the gold mine.
Fire is needed in gold mines for both ore mining and alchemy, so people often get burned.
