Lin Weiwan was cooking. Last night, Ji Bai and Hu Xiaopang took a day off and built a kang. They also connected a large stove to the back kitchen.
This kang is not habitable these days. It needs to be roasted for a few days and dried before it can be lived in. The two of us moved to the west room last night.
Looking at the red-hot stove, Lin Weiwan took out a sweet potato, a bunch of beans, and some corn and placed them at the mouth of the stove.
Turn it over from time to time, and the fragrance will come out after a while.
She took out a small basin and put the roasted sweet potatoes, beans and corn into it. After frying them twice, Lin Weiwan took the fragrant basin and sat in the shade of the front yard.
In the yard hung last night's laundry and bed sheets.
"Let you run, you little bastard, what did you whisper to Xiang last night? I want you to tell me, I want you to tell me."
From the next door yard came the sound of a woman yelling and cursing, the sound of banging and hitting, and the sound of chaotic footsteps.
"Mom, I didn't. I didn't say anything. I know." The woman's voice was a little softer with tears in her eyes.
"Don't hit mom, don't hit grandma, uh uh..."
"Get out of here, you loser. You're the one who told me why Xiang wants 10 yuan to send money to Lao Er this month. I'm going to beat you to death, you troublemaker."
"Mom... help me... I don't have anything..." the girl cried miserably.
From the sound, one could tell that it was Wu Xiulian beating her daughter-in-law.
Hearing that Lin Weiwan was eating, I lost my mood. I stood up and opened the door, and saw the family standing on the path, watching the lively atmosphere. But I didn't care.
“Ah…Xiang, help me…Ah…” the woman cried out while being beaten.
Lin Weiwan walked towards the next yard, "Sister." Zhao Hongmei grabbed Lin Weiwan's arm.
"What's up?"
"I advise you not to interfere. It's difficult for an honest official to settle family affairs. This is Counsellor Xu's family affair..." Zhao Hongmei hesitated to speak with a hint of smile.
"Ah, Xiaoling, what's wrong with you? Come here... Help me..."
Lin Weiwan frowned, broke away from Zhao Hongmei's hand and went to push the next door.
But the door was locked, and several people from nearby households came over. Miao Yuxiang also ran over from the front yard.
The courtyard was still filled with cries and Wu Xiulian's scolding.
"You're a loser, so you're dead. Why are you being so arrogant?"
"Sister Wu, open the door." Miao Yuxiang knocked on the wooden door.
"Get out of here, don't mind your own business. Eat your fill and then you'll be full." Wu Xiulian yelled at the door.
He raised the burning stick and continued to hit Yang Cai who was holding the child.
“Help me…Mom, please stop hitting me…ah…” Yang Cai, who was so thin that she was just a bag of bones, held her little daughter in her arms and dodged the stick that Wu Xiulian was swinging at her.
Lin Weiwan pushed the wooden door hard, intending to kick it open.
Thinking that he might have to repair the wooden door for his family, he quickly stepped to the side, used one foot to push against the wall and climbed into the yard.
"Who let you into my house?" Wu Xiulian opened her mouth to curse when she saw Lin Weiwan climbing over the wall.
Lin Weiwan glanced over and saw the thin woman holding the child with blood all over his head.
He quickly opened the door of Xu's house so that the person inside could see.
The door opened and several people squeezed in. The children were frightened when they saw the blood.
Lin Weiwan rushed over and saw the child in the girl's arms, breathing weakly and already unconscious.
While pulling the girl forward, he took the child's pulse.
Fortunately, when I met her, I saw that Lin Weiwan's eyes were full of disbelief.
Weak, anemic, severely malnourished, and… If I take him away now, I guess…
"Who told you to break into my house? Where are you going to take my wife and granddaughter?"
Wu Xiulian was already angry, and she was even more angry because someone was trying to rob her right in front of her. She quickly rushed over and swung the stick at Lin Weiwan who was holding the child's hand.
"Xiao Wan, be careful..." Miao Yuxiang was shocked and looked at the stick in Wu Xiulian's hand.
"Ah..." Zhao Hongmei screamed in fear.
Glancing at Wu Xiulian, who had a ferocious look on her face, Lin Weiwan bent his waist and legs, and with a whip kick, he broke the burning stick that was coming towards him.
Wu Xiulian used all her strength and threw herself forward without any support.
Lin Weiwan's eyes were on the child, "Put the child down."
"Miao, hurry up and get some wood ash to stop her bleeding."
As he spoke, Lin Weiwan held down the thin and frail girl in front of him and said, "Wait for me, it's too late."
After saying that, he took two steps and ran back to his yard. Half a minute later, he turned back again.
He took out the golden needles from the cloth bag and pierced several major acupuncture points on the girl's body.
"What are you doing? Are you going to kill me?" Wu Xiulian stood up and saw the yellow-haired girl next door stabbing her granddaughter with a needle. She turned her eyes and shouted loudly.
As he spoke, he rushed towards Lin Weiwan again, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.
If the dead girl in front of her killed her, she would be out of trouble and could even get compensation from the Ye family. Thinking of this, Wu Xiulian became excited.
"It's you who killed me." He looked at Wu Xiulian rushing towards him again.
Lin Weiwan didn't let go of the golden needles on the little girl's body. He picked up two golden needles with his left hand and flew towards Mrs. Wu.
Rushing in front and preparing to pull Wu Xiulian, Zhao Hongmei and Wang Jiasao saw a flash of golden light, and Wu Xiulian froze there.
For a moment, the courtyard was silent. Lin Weiwan used acupuncture to seal the girl's major acupuncture points and suppress the bleeding blood vessels.
Use acupuncture points to stimulate the child's own organs, and pinch the pulse with one hand to observe the child's physical condition.
The ashes were sprinkled on the wound on the child's head. Miao Yuxiang knew what to do with her shaking hands. She could only stare at Lin Weiwan while she gave Xiaoling acupuncture.
"The wife of the political commissar is here, Director Xia is here." I don't know who said it, and they squeezed at the door and made way for the two to come in.
Seeing the bloodstains in the yard, Mrs. Fan, the Political Commissar, took a breath and heard someone calling her. She thought Wu Xiulian had bullied her daughter-in-law again. She didn't expect it to turn out like this.
Director Xia was stunned when he saw the person squatting there holding a needle. This was Captain Ye’s young wife.
Watching the inch-long golden needle piercing into the child's body, "This..."
Miao Yuxiang rushed over and held Director Xia's hand. "The bleeding has just stopped. It will be much better now."
"Hurry up and go to the training ground to find Captain Ye and Staff Officer Xu. Go quickly. Also ask the military doctor to come over."
Director Xia nodded and ran towards the police station. He also dragged Miao Yuxiang with him. "You go find Captain Ye and Staff Officer Xu, I'll find the military doctor, quickly."
As he said this, he let go of Miao Yuxiang's hand and ran towards the military hospital.
Miao Yuxiang also quickly lifted up the heels of her shoes and ran to the training ground.
As Lin Weiwan was given injections one by one, his face became paler and paler, and he began to sweat.
It takes a lot of energy to keep the pulse consciousness moving around in the child's body for such a long time.
"Go get the mattress."
Zhao Hongmei quickly ran into the house and pulled out a mattress.
"Put the mattress on the ground, sister-in-law, please put the child down slowly." Lin Weiwan asked the girl who was already frightened to death to put the child down.
