Wen Xi nodded, "Okay, but I didn't bring it with me. I'll go back and get it now and get over before you get off work at noon. You can also think about what you'd like to exchange with me."
Zhang Yaxin nodded happily, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."
Wenxi didn't want to do this kind of small business at all, because it wasn't worth the trip back and forth. Fortunately, she had a system, so she didn't really need to go back to get things.
After leaving the post office, Wenxi carried an empty basket and wandered around. There were so few places to visit in this town that she finished exploring in no time.
There are no department stores or cinemas in the town, so there's no way to pass the time. The supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have as many items as the department stores in the county town, and it doesn't have collectible luxury goods like Omega, Rolex, or Patek Philippe.
Wenxi is not short of money now, and she has decided that when she goes back to visit her family this year, she will go to the department store near her home to buy a few pieces to collect.
Afterwards, Wenxi went to the scrap yard. With each task she completed to collect energy, the system has become increasingly feature-rich. Upon entering the scrap yard, the system displayed a map of the scrap yard, along with some helpful tips.
Although this place has been ransacked time and time again, leaving no treasures behind, there are still some small, easy-to-store items like small yellow croakers and gold jewelry.
For example, you can hide one or two items inside the legs of a table or in the compartments of a cabinet.
And these were the places where the hints were given, so Wenxi quietly collected these items according to the system's instructions. She hadn't come here specifically to search for treasure; she was just passing the time. Since she had come across them, she certainly couldn't miss them, otherwise these items might never see the light of day again.
Wenxi wandered around the recycling station and finally picked up a bunch of old newspapers. Old newspapers have many uses; they can be read or burned.
As Wenxi walked, the system suddenly issued a task. There was no word 'teleportation' in it, so it seemed to be in the same space-time and not far away.
So Wenxi carefully followed the directions and walked forward. After walking for a while, she came to an alley. The alley was empty and silent, but a child was lying on the ground in the corner of the alley. It looked like a boy.
Wenxi turned her head and looked around. Seeing that there was no one else, she squatted down to check on the child. She turned the child over and saw that the child's eyes were closed and the face was flushed.
Wenxi reached out and touched the child's forehead, finding it burning hot. She quickly picked up the child and rushed him to the hospital, feeling extremely anxious.
This alley is connected to other people's courtyards, and there are no gates, so the child probably didn't run out on their own. Therefore, it's very likely that...
People saw that the child was very sick, so they abandoned the child in the alley and left him to fend for himself, right?
Fortunately, the town hospital wasn't far, just at the end of the main street. Wenxi arrived at the hospital quickly. Upon seeing the nurse, she hurriedly said, "Nurse, I just found a child in the alley. This child seems sick; please take a look at him quickly..."
Wen Xi didn't want to be wrongly accused of being the child's mother and blamed for how she took care of the child, causing the child to become so sick, so she directly explained her identity.
The nurse took the child from Wenxi's arms, touched the child's forehead, and found that the forehead was burning hot. She quickly went to find a doctor, and then the doctor and nurse took the child into the emergency room.
Wen Xi didn't waste any time. She quickly borrowed a phone and called Yan Zheng to tell him about the incident. She wasn't sure if the human traffickers had made a comeback, so the police needed to investigate.
The town's public security bureau wasn't far from here. When Yan Zheng arrived, the emergency room door wasn't even open yet!
Yan Zheng arrived with other police officers, and Wen Xi immediately reported the situation, "Brother Yan, I came to town to buy something today. When I walked into an alley, I found a little boy lying on the ground. I turned him over and found that his face was very red and his forehead was very hot. He was obviously sick, so I took the child directly to the hospital. I was afraid that the child would die in my hands, and then I wouldn't be able to explain myself."
After Yan Zheng finished taking notes, he said to the two police officers beside him, "You two go and visit the alley that Wenxi mentioned. I'll wait here for the emergency room to open so we can check on the child's condition."
After the two police officers left, Yan Zheng and Wen Xi stood side by side outside the emergency room.
After waiting for a while, the emergency room door finally opened, and the doctor and nurses came out. Wen Xi hurriedly went up to them, "Doctor, how is the child?"
"The child's condition has stabilized for now, but he/she cannot be discharged immediately in case of a relapse. He/she can be transferred to a regular ward for observation in a little while," the doctor said.
Yan Zheng stepped forward and said, "Doctor, I'm here on a case. Can I go in and check on the child first?"
When Wenxi brought the child to the hospital, she mentioned that she had found the child in an alley, so it was only right that the police came to investigate. Only after the investigation was completed could the child be returned to his parents and relatives.
However, since the little boy had not yet woken up, Yan Zheng could only see what he looked like; he would only know the details once the child woke up.
The child needed to be hospitalized for observation, so it was necessary to pay the fees and complete the hospitalization procedures. Wenxi was an educated youth sent to the countryside, and these things were not his responsibility, so Yan Zheng went over to pay the fees and complete the hospitalization procedures for the child.
He'll wait until he finds the child's parents to see if they're willing to give it to him. If they aren't, he'll consider it a good deed, since saving a life will put his mind at ease.
“Wenxi, you’re a sent-down youth and you have to rush back to the village. You don’t have time to take care of the child here. I’ll send a female comrade over to take care of the child in a little while. Once she arrives, you can go back. I’ll let you know when things are settled,” Yan Zheng suggested.
Wen Xi nodded repeatedly. She could save people, but she wouldn't stay to take care of them. After all, taking care of someone would require 24-hour care for many days, and she didn't have that kind of ability.
When she rescued Donghua, she arranged for a nurse to take care of her. Now that the police are in charge of this little boy, she doesn't need to worry about him anymore.
When the female officer from the Public Security Bureau arrived, Wen Xi handed over the duties to her and then left. She had to go see Zhang Yaxin at noon and then accompany Lin Yiwan on her blind date. She had a lot to do and didn't have time to waste at the hospital.
At noon, Wenxi moved some things into her basket and went to wait outside the post office.
