This time she took out twenty fish and fifty kilograms of pork.
The old lady picked out a large fish that she liked, and Meng Zhiyu picked up the beam scale and weighed it in a serious manner. "Look, it's five catties and six ounces. I don't want the six ounces, so I'll just take it as five catties. How about that?"
The old lady was obviously very happy. Seeing that there was still pork in her basket, she asked, "How much is this pork?"
"Pork is 80 cents, and the pork is very fresh. Look at my meat." Meng Zhiyu pulled out a piece of meat for her to take a closer look.
The old lady nodded and said it was indeed good, and gave it to me to weigh.
Meng Zhiyu weighed it and said, "It's six pounds and four ounces in total. I don't want these four ounces anymore. Please check the scale."
After letting her look at it, Meng Zhiyu took the meat off and calculated it. "The fish is two pieces, and the pork is four and eighty yuan, a total of six and eighty yuan."
After the old lady left, two younger women came and each bought a fish and a piece of pork. Then one after another, they were all sold out quickly.
Meng Zhiyu changed her clothes and dressed up as a black girl with long braids. She took out her bicycle while hiding from people and headed to the black market near the hospital.
The gatekeepers were still two children, but not the same two as before. After paying the entrance fee, they walked in and found an empty spot to squat down.
This time I sold fruits and date cakes. After selling them, I went to the grove to sell lotus roots.
It was already past eleven o'clock in the morning when she walked out of the grove. She rode her bicycle to the state-owned restaurant for dinner.
It was dinner time and people were gathering around. I looked at the small blackboard and ordered a bowl of rice, a dish of spare ribs and some spicy and sour shredded potatoes.
Just when Meng Zhiyu found an empty seat to eat with the delicious meal, he heard a commotion not far away.
She didn't look up. After all, curiosity killed the cat. She took a mouthful of rice and found it had a unique aroma and just the right chewiness.
The noises not far away were getting louder and louder, accompanied by shouts, "Whose child is this? Does anyone know him?"
"This child might be suffering from epilepsy. He needs to be taken to the hospital quickly."
"How could someone so young get this disease?"
Epilepsy?
Meng Zhiyu grasped this information, threw her chopsticks on the table, and trotted towards the noisy area.
There were already quite a few people gathered inside and outside, 30% inside and 30% outside, and Meng Zhiyu squeezed in through the gap.
When she squeezed in, she saw a little girl about her age being held down by a middle-aged woman. Next to her was a little boy with tears in his eyes, staring at the little girl.
Meng Zhiyu squatted down and saw that the girl lying on the ground had limbs twitching constantly, spitting out Bai Mu from her mouth, her eyes rolled up, and her eyelids trembling constantly. These were indeed symptoms of an epileptic seizure.
She pulled the woman's hands away from the girl, tilted her head to one side to prevent her from choking on vomit, and explained, "Auntie, you can't hold her down like this. It might hurt her bones."
Patients with epilepsy usually have violent body shaking. If they are held down forcibly, dislocation and fracture may easily occur.
When the woman heard this, she quickly let go of her hand. "I saw that she was constantly moving, and I was worried that she would hurt herself unconsciously."
Meng Zhiyu looked at the crowd around him, stood up, and shouted, "Everyone, stop gathering here. Spread out. The patient needs fresh air."
Epilepsy can cause severe breathing difficulties. When the onlookers heard this, they quickly dispersed obediently.
An epileptic seizure usually lasts about five minutes. Meng Zhiyu waited until she recovered from her first seizure, then picked up the medicine bottle that had fallen out of her pocket and asked, "Is this medicine for me?"
The girl nodded with a pale face. Meng Zhiyu asked the waiter at the window for a bowl of water, let her lean on his arms, fed her a few pills, and handed the medicine to her.
After taking the medicine, the girl looked at the little boy who had been quiet beside her and stretched out her hand, "Xiao An, come here with your aunt."
The little boy pouted and threw himself into the girl's arms before he dared to burst into tears, "Woo waaaa."
Meng Zhiyu looked at the girl who was gently stroking the boy's back and asked, "Do you need me to take you to the hospital?"
The girl shook her head weakly. "No, thank you. What's your name and where is your home?"
As soon as Meng Zhiyu heard her ask these questions, she knew what she meant, so she shook her head and said, "No need, it's just a small favor. And this aunt also helped at the beginning."
Everyone looked at the girl who had regained consciousness and discussed it in a flurry, "Is she okay now?"
"I didn't expect this little girl to know so much at such a young age."
"I've seen a case of vitiligo before. His family didn't handle it properly, and the person choked to death on his own vomit."
"The girl said to tilt your head to one side and give him plenty of air."
Meng Zhiyu ignored what everyone said. After making sure that the girl was fine, he went straight back to his dining table and continued eating.
"There's no one here, can I sit here?" A familiar male voice came.
Meng Zhiyu looked up at Zhou Songbai who was carrying the food and shook his head, "No, please sit down, Zhou San."
Zhou Songbai actually saw Meng Zhiyu when she was buying food, but he was queuing on the other side, so she didn't call him.
Later, when someone fell ill, he watched her squeeze in to save them, just like Tiedan and the others before. As long as she could save them, she seemed to have no regrets.
An Jing ate a few mouthfuls of food, thought for a moment and found a topic, "Do you know a lot about medicine?"
In their opinion, being bitten by a poisonous snake is almost a death sentence, but she can solve it. She also knows a lot about vitiligo, a disease he has only heard of but never seen, and knows how to deal with it.
Meng Zhiyu swallowed the food in his mouth and replied, "Not much, it depends on your luck."
After all, she is still learning. He feels that in addition to some old knowledge she has learned before, she also learns a lot of new knowledge every day.
After the two finished their meal and took a short rest, Meng Zhiyu found an excuse to leave first. She still had to continue making money.
The three of them took a walk around the black market, put a fish, a piece of pork, and some date cakes in their backpacks, and rode their bicycles back.
After Zhou Songbai finished his work, he rode his bicycle back. Halfway through, he saw a familiar little figure in front of him.
I wanted to call out to Meng Zhiyu, but when I rode closer, I saw that because she was short and had short legs, she could only pedal while standing. Others only used their legs to ride, but her whole body was shaking.
Zhou Songbai couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth again and again, and then he just grinned. He didn't even think about calling her, but just followed her slowly from behind, watching her tossing around.
Meng Zhiyu didn't know that Zhou Songbai was following him, grinning with his teeth bared!
