Chapter 133 The most helpless life

The child's mother looked at the peach cake handed to her, her face turned red, and she waved her hands repeatedly, but the child's hand had already reached out to catch it and took a quick bite. The couple was immediately embarrassed.

I want to quarrel with the child but I am reluctant to do so.

"It's just a piece of peach cake. Take it."

Dai Qing looked at the child's face and felt very sorry. The child was seriously ill.

"He's not feeling well, so it's a good thing he can eat something to relieve the discomfort."

"Thank you, thank you."

The child's mother's eyes were red. "My child has a miserable life. He has been weak since birth. It was difficult for us to raise him until he was five years old. His father and I lived frugally and saved some money to take him to the Capital Hospital..."

Before she finished, the child's mother choked up and couldn't speak. The child's father patted her shoulder, his voice a little hoarse,

"Don't cry in front of the children."

The child's mother covered her mouth and tried her best to endure it. Her eyes were red and bloodshot, and everyone who saw it could not help but feel sad.

The middle-aged couple next to them took out two boiled eggs from their bag and stuffed them into the child's father's hands.

"To give the child some food to eat while on the road."

"……Thank you."

The child's father pursed his lips tightly to avoid showing his vulnerability, but the protruding veins on his neck revealed his mood at the moment.

For a while, they sat facing each other and no one spoke.

After calming down for a while, the child's mother wiped her eyes and forced a smile at them.

"You are all good people, thank you. My wife and I are both teachers, and we have been teaching in our county. My son has been in poor health since birth, and he has been in the hospital every other day. He is already six years old, but his health is still not up to standard. He looks like a three or four-year-old child. The child's grandmother said that a bad name is easier to raise, so she named him Goudan."

"The medical conditions in our county are backward and lack advanced medical equipment. The doctor told us to go to a large hospital for examination if possible. My wife and I worked hard to save money and borrowed some money from here and there, so we took him to the capital's large hospital... After the examination, the doctor said it was too late."

The child's mother looked at her child who was sitting next to her and eating peach cake obediently with loving eyes, and tried to calm herself.

"It was us who delayed the child's illness, and it was also my fault as a mother."

Other people's children are all healthy, but her child has never had a good day since he was born and has been sick every day.

Sometimes she couldn't help but wonder, did she do something wrong in her previous life, and was being punished in this life?

Seeing her self-blaming expression, the child's father patted her on the shoulder.

"Don't be sad, we did our best."

The middle-aged man who delivered the eggs looked at the child's pale face and sighed, "No one would be able to bear this kind of thing. This is fate. You should just let it go."

"Yes, although my wife's words are harsh, it is true... Some children come to repay their gratitude, and some children come to collect debts. You should think of it as something you owed him in your previous life. Treat him well and it will be considered as repayment."

Although this is cruel, it is also the reality.

Dai Qing looked at the couple's faces full of sadness and fatigue, and felt only regret in her heart. The most helpless thing in life is that parents have to watch their children suffer but they can do nothing about it.

The current medical conditions are limited, and those sophisticated medical equipment are only available in big cities. However, ordinary families have limited incomes, and in most cases, they are unable to afford them.

For minor illnesses and minor disasters, you can just wrap some medicine and boil it, and for serious illnesses, you can just hang some water, which is acceptable. But for more serious illnesses, you can only leave it to God's will.

Looking at the child's face, Dai Qing sighed silently. In the field of physiognomy, in addition to the face, bone structure, hand and foot structure, and fate, there is also the structure of diseases.

By looking at a person's facial features, bone structure and demeanor, combined with the colors of the four seasons, you can basically infer where the person is sick.

When diagnosing a disease, one should first observe the entire face. The nose is called the "Ming Tang" and is the master of the face. The pathological changes of the five internal organs can be seen from its upper, lower, left and right parts.

The bone of the Mingtang should be high, straight and flat, with the five internal organs in the center and the six internal organs on its left and right sides. The Yingtang represents the heart, directly below it represents the liver, the left side of the liver is the gallbladder, and below it is the spleen. The tip of the nose represents the stomach, the central part represents the large intestine, and the kidneys are on both sides of the large intestine. Above the face is the small intestine, and below the face is the uterus and bladder of women.

If red, yellow, green, white, or black appear in the above parts of the body or if these parts sink, you will get sick.

Especially those who appear blue or black must be dirty and sick.

Goudan's forehead is dark and dull, his eye sockets and body muscles are dry, his face and ears are dark with a hint of red, and he looks depressed. This child is already at the point of vital energy depletion, and has serious problems with his spleen and liver.

Not to mention with current medical treatment, even if we wait ten years, it will not be curable.

It is really pitiful that he has caused such a great disaster at such a young age.

The journey was long, and the six of them chatted casually until night fell. The middle-aged couple beside them leaned on each other and fell asleep. The family of three opposite, except for the child, both stared at the child in their arms with their eyes wide open, as if they were afraid that the child would disappear if they blinked.

Dai Qing leaned her elbows on the window, silently looking out at the darkness outside. Occasionally she could see a little light, but it was fleeting.

Because of Goudan's matter, she was in a complicated mood and had no desire to sleep at all. She could not help with this matter, and even her words of comfort seemed pale.

Until the train arrived at the station, everyone packed up their bags, got off the train in order, and then slowly followed the crowd out of the station.

Dai Qing looked at the dejected backs of the family of three. The mother was holding the child, and the father was carrying two bags of pots, pans, and other items for the hospital, as well as a change of clothes.

After leaving the station, Dai Qing looked at them standing dejectedly under the dim street lights. She took two quick steps and handed her the 500 yuan and a bag of peach cakes she had prepared.

"This is a little gift from me to the child. Take it... The doctor should have told you that the child is estimated to have only half a year left. Take him to eat something delicious, let him do something fun, and accompany him for the last part of his life."

She was still soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see such suffering.

Just think of it as if she had been caught in the rain before, knows how unpleasant it feels, and wants to hold an umbrella for others.

The child's mother looked at her in shock, then looked at the money and peach cakes in her hand. She suddenly grabbed Dai Qing's wrist and fell to her knees with a thud.

"How did you know that? Is there any way you can save my child?"

The doctors in the capital shook their heads and just told them to take the child home quickly, spend more time with him and show their concern.

She felt as if she had been struck by lightning and refused to believe the truth. After calming down for a few days, she had already accepted her fate. But when she heard the little girl's advice, she suddenly felt a surge of hope.

Since she could see it, there must be a way to help her child.
