After catching up with them in a few steps, Xie Yan squatted down, hoisted Zheng Hedong onto his back, and ran towards Wang Jianshe's house.
Although this made the speed much faster, Xie Yan was not a strong person, and he was willing but unable to go even faster.
Fortunately, they ran into Yu Youde on the road.
When Yu Youde saw Xie Yan carrying Zheng Hedong on his back, his expression changed. Good heavens, he'd managed to seize the opportunity!
This thank-you banquet was actually done behind the backs of the people in the cowshed. Good, very good. He must report this to the brigade leader.
No!
If everyone in the village knows, then the village head won't be able to protect his son-in-law anymore.
Seemingly anticipating Xie Yan's miserable state after the banquet, Yu Youde deliberately raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with pity for Xie Yan.
But Xie Yan had no energy to argue with him right now. He took a breath and shouted loudly at Yu Youde, "Come here for a second!"
"quick!"
That arrogant demeanor made Yu Youde stumble with anger. Who did Xie Yan think he was?! Daring to order him around!
Yu Youde gave Xie Yan a disdainful look and turned to leave.
Yu Shan instantly understood Xie Yan's meaning. Seeing Yu Youde still dawdling there, he couldn't help but shout, "Youde! Hurry up and come over here!"
"This is a matter of life and death, what are you dawdling about here for!"
Startled by the shout, Yu Youde noticed that his Uncle Shan was also standing nearby. He paused for a moment, then quickly ran over without daring to utter a word.
Xie Yan put down Zheng Hedong, whom he was carrying on his back.
Yu Shan ordered You De, "Quickly carry him and run to Jianshe's house!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Youde's face showed reluctance.
Zheng Hedong was a convict who had been sent to a labor camp; why should I carry him?
How unlucky!
Yu Shan got angry at Yu Youde's effeminate manner and slapped him across the face, yelling, "This is a matter of life and death, what are you dawdling about?"
"If things are delayed, can you take responsibility?"
Yu Youde, who had been beaten, immediately became obedient, squatted down, picked up Zheng Hedong, and ran away.
Zheng Hedong clung tightly to Yu Youde's neck, trying his best to control his body and avoid falling.
Xie Yan watched the person run away, took a deep breath to relieve the stinging pain in his chest from inhaling so much cold air.
After catching my breath, I quickly chased after them.
It must be said that Yu Youde may not be good in other aspects, but his physical strength is definitely unmatched.
He carried Zheng Hedong on his back and rushed to Wang Jianshe's house in a great hurry.
Wang Jianshe, who had been eagerly waiting at the door, saw Zheng Hedong and his eyes lit up instantly. As if grasping at the last straw, he quickly grabbed Zheng and ran into the house.
Xie Yan also squeezed in, leaving Yu Youde completely bewildered. He thought he had done a good deed and was hoping to be praised by others, but he got nothing in return!
Inside the room, the child's face was ashen, and his eyes were tightly closed, as if he were asleep. But if you looked closely, you would see that his small chest was hardly rising or falling.
The child was clearly exhaling more than inhaling, and the flame of life was already flickering in the wind, about to be extinguished.
Seeing this, Xie Yan quickly shooed everyone away, shouting, "Everyone, get out! Don't crowd here like this!"
The people around seemed not to hear him, turning a deaf ear.
Xie Yan hurriedly pulled people outside, saying, "This child can't breathe. If you keep crowding here, it will only increase the burden on the child!"
"Get out! Get out!"
The people crowded here were all worried about the children's safety. When they heard that crowding was bad for the children, it was as if a start button had been pressed, and they quickly scattered.
In an instant, only Ma Daha, Zheng Hedong, and Xie Yan remained in the room.
oh!
There is also a critically ill child.
Xie Yan finally approached Zheng Hedong, only to find his expression unusually solemn.
The desire makes my heart skip a beat!
Is this beyond saving?
Zheng Hedong was carefully observing the child's condition when he asked seriously, "Did you give the child a bath?"
Ma Daha's eyes were already red and swollen from crying, like two ripe peaches. He choked out, "The weather was warm today, and when I saw that the child was all dirty, I gave him a wash."
"But the child was fine after the bath, but suddenly had an attack in the afternoon."
This is quite absurd.
Ma Daha's son was very good-looking from birth, completely different from the wrinkled babies that are born with.
It is precisely because of his good looks that everyone likes him so much.
The weather was nice today, so I thought I'd wash my child's dirty hair. After washing his hair, I also gave him a bath.
This washing turned out to be the cause of the problem.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Hedong's expression grew even more serious. "You adults are certainly qualified!"
Without wasting any more words, he pulled out a packet of silver needles from his pocket, which gleamed faintly in the dim light.
These silver needles were Zheng Hedong's last possessions.
"Hold the child down and don't let him move."
Xie Yan and the child's mother stepped forward in unison and held the child's limbs down.
In fact, the child was too weak to move at this point, but to prevent any accidents, the two of them held the child down tightly.
Zheng Hedong glanced at Xie Yan briefly, his eyes conveying a message that Xie Yan should learn from him.
He then began to insert needles into the child's limbs and abdomen with complete concentration.
With practiced skill, he placed each needle precisely, and in no time, the child was covered in silver needles, looking like a little hedgehog.
Xie Yan silently memorized the acupuncture points, his eyes fixed on Zheng Hedong's movements without blinking.
When it was almost time for the acupuncture, Zheng Hedong carefully removed the needle, then quickly picked up the warm quilt he had prepared, gently wrapped the child in it, and placed him on the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed).
The room was extremely quiet. All three of them held their breath and stared intently at the child, as if time had frozen at that moment.
After more than ten minutes, the child finally showed signs of improvement. His originally ashen complexion gradually improved, though only slightly, like the earth gradually awakening in the cold winter.
It can be considered a turning point.
After the child was covered in sweat, his chest began to rise and fall.
As Ma Daha watched his child gradually improve, his tense nerves instantly collapsed. Overjoyed, he wept silently, but tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.
As she kowtowed to Zheng Hedong, she covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from making a sound.
