The whole process took nearly two hours to finish, and Jiang Mengxue only felt sore in her back.
The families of these children have not been found yet. Some of them will report to the police if they are missing, while some of them will be looked for by their own families and will just leave it to fate if they cannot find them.
Jiang Mengxue stayed by the bed and wiped the child's hands and face with a wet towel. There was dust all over his face and hands, and only hay clippings in his hair. He must have been locked up in a woodshed or cellar.
"Doctor Jiang, a parent is here looking for their child."
Two strange men and women appeared at the door. The woman's face was covered with tears and she looked extremely anxious.
"Which child are you looking for? Unless the police confirm that you are the child's parents, you are not allowed to see or get close to the child."
How could someone get close to a child with just one sentence? What if it was an imposter? If the child we rescued with great difficulty was lost again, no one could take the responsibility.
The two were not angry because Jiang Mengxue said they were not allowed to look after the child. Isn't this also a responsible behavior? Otherwise, if the child was lost again, they would have no place to cry.
The tall man comforted the sad woman beside him and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, we were so excited when we heard that the child was rescued. Do you have a doctor named Jiang Mengxue here? We're looking for her."
Jiang Mengxue then realized that these should be Li Baoguo's family.
"Are you Uncle Li's son?"
"Yes, yes, my father is Li Baoguo, and my son is Li Muchuan. You are the Tsinghua and Peking University daughter-in-law Jiang Mengxue that my father mentioned, right?"
Jiang Mengxue nodded to signal the nurse to let the two of them in, and she made way for Li Muchuan.
She had been standing in front of the bed, blocking Li Muchuan completely, so the two of them didn't notice it at first.
After seeing the child's face clearly on the hospital bed, the woman ran in and threw herself on the bed.
"Ogawa, my Ogawa."
Jiang Mengxue noticed that the woman's speech was not clear and she even paused, as if she didn't know how to speak very well.
Noticing Jiang Mengxue's puzzled look, Li Yuanchao explained, "Yajun has a hearing impairment and is not very good at expressing herself verbally." He sighed, "My wife took the child to the department store some time ago. There were many people there that day, and when she finished shopping and wanted to take the child's hand, she discovered that the child was missing.
Plus, she couldn't hear and couldn't express herself clearly, so no one could understand what she was saying. By the time she came to my workplace, most people in the department store had left, so I had no idea where to look."
No one could understand Yang Yajun's despair at that moment. She was in a silent world and had no way to ask for help.
I could only catch one person desperately trying to report what he meant, but no one could understand.
In addition, the mother who had just lost her child was inevitably emotional, and passers-by were too scared to approach, let alone help.
Jiang Mengxue didn't expect this situation to happen. You can imagine how anxious she was at that time.
"It's good to find him. Xiaochuan took too many drugs that cause coma and may not wake up until tomorrow. If you are worried, you can stay and guard him. The police should be here to register him tomorrow."
"Sorry to bother you, sister-in-law. The police will send someone to guard the two wards soon. If you have anything else to do, go ahead and do it. I will take care of this place for the time being."
Jiang Mengxue didn't try to be stubborn. She really had something urgent to do. She broke the appointment with her mother-in-law for the first time and didn't even go to pick her up. It was really bad.
There were still a few militiamen guarding outside the ward. Jiang Mengxue was not worried about accidents. She took off the white coat she had borrowed temporarily, rubbed her waist, and hurried home.
At this time, there was no one on the streets outside, and even the lights in the surrounding houses were not on.
Walking alone on the empty street, with only the whistling sound of the wind in her ears, Jiang Mengxue was very nervous.
I can only try to think of something in my mind, otherwise the atmosphere is scary enough.
Fortunately, the moonlight was bright enough so it wasn't pitch black.
Click, click.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps on the snow behind me. Although the sound was not loud, it was like a radar in people's hearts in the quiet night, making people quickly alert to the surrounding environment.
It was completely a physical instinct. Jiang Mengxue stopped, and regretted it the moment she paused. She should have run away without looking back.
What if you encounter a situation that you are completely unable to deal with?
But there is no chance to regret, the best opportunity to escape has been missed, and now we can only improvise.
Holding her breath, Jiang Mengxue quietly took out a dagger about ten centimeters long from the space with her hand hidden in the sleeve of her cotton coat.
A dagger that is too big is difficult to use, and one that is too small is of no use to the thick cotton-padded clothes of the current person, and may not even be able to penetrate the clothes.
Jiang Mengxue listened carefully to the movements behind her. She took a step and the person behind her followed. When she stopped, the sound of footsteps on the snow behind her also stopped.
After several attempts, it was obvious that someone was following her, but she didn't know who he was.
Jiang Mengxue could only continue walking, always keeping alert to the movement behind her. It was not until she walked forty or fifty meters away that she realized that the movement behind her was getting smaller and smaller until it slowly disappeared.
Jiang Mengxue was a little confused. If the other party had any bad intentions, it would be impossible for him to not take action.
There was no one on the street now, and she didn't look like someone who could confront anyone, so why did she suddenly stop?
Jiang Mengxue felt that the most frightening thing about people was curiosity. How many people got into big trouble because of their momentary curiosity.
But isn't that the essence of human nature? Losing curiosity also means losing a lot of fun.
In short, after convincing herself in her mind for a long time, she just wanted to look back.
The worst result would be to take the people into the space directly, as the space is currently lacking fertilizer.
Jiang Mengxue calmed herself down, turned around quickly and shone the flashlight over there.
If an accident really happens, the light of the flashlight can also act as a buffer.
After her eyes adjusted to the light, Jiang Mengxue opened them wide, but saw nothing.
Worried, she looked around again and found that she was still the only one on the empty street.
Looking closely, there was a black mass in the snow dozens of meters away. It was particularly conspicuous against the white snow. However, it was a bit far away and the vision was not clear. Jiang Mengxue approached step by step with a flashlight.
When I got closer, I found that it was a puppy curled up in the snow.
His body was wet, and there was a lot of snow in his fur. He was shivering constantly, and it was obvious that he was very cold.
Jiang Mengxue made sure that there was no one around, and then she put the dagger hidden in her palm into the space.
I tried to pick up the puppy carefully, but found that the puppy was trying very hard to curl itself up, with its claws tightly protecting its arms.
