Chapter 161 This child looks familiar
"What's wrong?"
The guard asked anxiously.
"The person inside is injured and has lost a lot of blood. They need hemostatic drugs. Do you also have bandages?"
The guard looked at the list, frowned, and said, "It's not on this list! They probably forgot!"
Zhou also seized the opportunity to step forward politely and ask, "I wonder what kind of injury it is? Is it a cut or a stab wound?"
I'm a doctor, maybe I can help!
The guard frowned. Generally speaking, no one is allowed to enter the quarry, since the people inside are all important figures!
but……
"You...bring the supplies inside!"
Then he said to Zhou Ye, "You...come with me, and don't look around!"
"yes!"
Xie Jianshe glanced at Zhou Ye, who nodded to indicate that there was no problem. Once inside, the place seemed very quiet; the quarry shouldn't be this quiet!
At the very least, there was the sound of shattered stones!
Moreover, the place looks clean and tidy; it's nothing like a quarry!
"Go inside!"
The guards' voices became very soft inside the quarry, and they kept a close eye on Zhou Ye, afraid that he might do something out of line.
Soon they arrived at a row of houses, and the buildings near the houses... how come... they look so much like a steel factory?
This is so strange!
I just don't know if my parents will be here.
She had a feeling that her parents might really be here.
"Here...come quick...here..."
Zhou Ye quickly walked into the house and saw a man who looked to be in his thirties with a steel plate stuck in his arm!
Meanwhile, next to the main wound, there was another small wound, which was gushing blood.
"Are you a doctor? There are two wounds in total. There was a small metal plate inserted here before, which I removed, but..."
"The blood keeps flowing, what should I do?"
Zhou disregarded everything else, took out silver needles from his pocket, and inserted them into the corresponding acupoints. The bleeding from the wound visibly decreased...
The guard had only been trying his luck, but it turned out he really was a doctor?
Then, Zhou took out a roll of bandage from his pocket and said, "This bandage is for the village chief."
We didn't bring much. If you have any clean cotton cloth, please bring it over.
I applied medicine to the small wound and then bandaged it up!
Then came the large wound...
The steel sheet is still there!
The silver needles were still working, and Zhou also had someone prepare high-proof liquor to disinfect and bandage the wound in one go.
The injured person was in so much pain that they were almost fainting.
But there was no other way; Zhou couldn't just pull out the anesthetic at this moment, could he? Pulling it out without any preparation would only cause trouble!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after the wound was bandaged!
"The patient needs to rest well and should not work anymore!"
Then he took out a few pills: "This is for inflammation, and this is for fever! The patient should have a fever tonight, which is normal."
But you must take it seriously!
If seizures or other complications occur, take the patient to the hospital immediately!
"The medication is limited; we only have enough for two days! You may need to stock up on some more!"
After giving his instructions, Zhou stood up and looked at the guard: "That's enough! You can leave now!"
The guards treated Zhou Ye much better. Regardless of the era, most people have great respect for doctors.
"Is his life in danger?"
A man standing next to me, presumably the leader, asked.
Zhou paused for a moment: "His wound is actually very deep. There are no suitable conditions for stitching it up here, so it is actually quite dangerous."
If the situation worsens tonight, then he/she must be taken to the hospital!
The leader pondered for a moment: "Comrade, please wait a moment!"
Then I went out for a bit.
The guard looked at Zhou Ye with a newfound respect.
Sure enough, the leader returned shortly afterward: "Comrade, it's like this, since you are a doctor, I wonder if you can treat the child?"
"child?"
Zhou asked, puzzled.
Then, smiling, she said, "Sure!"
Leader: "Okay, in that case, come with me!"
Zhou glanced at the guard, and sure enough, the guard followed behind.
Not too far, not too close, very proper!
When they reached a house very close to the inside, Zhou looked closely and realized it was clearly a private residence.
"Comrade, please come in!"
There was only an older woman with a child in the house. The child was clearly uncomfortable and kept complaining of a stomachache.
"Waaaaah... My stomach hurts... My stomach hurts... I want Mommy... I want Mommy..."
The child looked to be only about two years old and kept struggling in the woman's arms.
The middle-aged celebrity was very flustered...
"You're a doctor? Please take a look at me quickly!"
The leader explained, "The child has had this problem since he was little. We went to see a doctor before, but they couldn't find anything wrong."
I've had to get rid of the worms in my stomach again and again!
But it didn't work!
"The child's mother is going through a lot of trouble. If it's convenient for you, doctor, could you please take a look? The consultation fee is not a problem!"
Zhou nodded and carefully took the child's hand.
The child looked at her curiously, and Zhou Ye's eyes flashed. This child... looks so familiar! Who does he resemble?
It just looks so familiar!
"Baby, tell your sister, where does it hurt?"
The child touched his belly button and said, "It hurts..."
Zhou also felt the location and then began to take the pulse.
Then he asked, "Would the pain worsen if the child caught a cold?"
"Yes, that's it! They can't find anything wrong, it just hurts!"
"This child has a weak spleen and stomach!"
Actually, the child's more accurate description is that he has pain in his mesenteric lymph nodes!
She also had a weak spleen and stomach! When she saw the milk powder on the table, she realized that some children with weak spleens and stomachs cannot drink milk powder.
It will worsen the condition!
"Moreover, this formula will worsen the child's stomach pain symptoms! Next, you can give the child more easily digestible foods that are good for the spleen and stomach!"
Eat less cold-natured foods!
"Oh? Is that child sick? Does he need medicine?"
Zhou thought for a moment and said, "I'll prescribe some medicine to nourish the child's spleen and stomach, but the child is still young, so let him drink it for a short period of time first."
Eat less fruit!
Eat more yams.
"We can't just eat yams all the time, can we? Are there any other foods?" the expert asked eagerly.
"Ouch...it hurts..."
The child started shouting again!
The aunt said anxiously, "Oh dear, the child can't drink formula anymore, how about milk? Fresh milk is very nutritious, everyone says!"
Zhou shook his head: "Milk is considered a cold food, and it's not suitable for this child's body. It's best not to give it to him!"
"Huh? What should we do then?"
Zhou thought for a moment and said, "I'll tell you a few things to make for your child, and you can try different ones. With a little care, your child will get better!"
The auntie exclaimed in surprise, "Really? That's wonderful!"
Zhou thought for a moment and then suggested a few simple recipes.
Yam and millet porridge, kelp and pork rib soup, carrot, millet and pumpkin porridge, sweet potato and millet porridge, apple and white fungus soup, tomato and egg noodles, etc...
"This child was born with a weak constitution and needs to be carefully pampered. However, he should eat less of things that are hard to digest or cold, such as large pieces of meat and milk!"
You can also eat more noodles and steamed buns!
Steamed buns and dumplings made with leavened dough are easy to digest, so you can eat more of them!
"How long will it take to get better, doctor? You don't know, my wife is so worried!"
I can't sleep well at night!
"We'll have to let it rest for a while and see!"
Then he wrote down a simple prescription: "This is a prescription to nourish the spleen and stomach. Just drink it like tea! There are no other requirements!"
Boil it for about twenty minutes, then give it to the child to drink like water!
"Okay, okay! Thank you so much!"
The auntie treasured it like a precious gem and carefully kept it!
Then, Zhou looked at the leader and asked, "Is there anything else?"
The leader was very satisfied with Zhou Ye's performance!
I didn't look around much, and I wasn't curious about anything!
but……
That's the problem.
"Comrade, you're from Dabi Village."
Zhou knew that this meant he was starting to doubt him!
Zhou smiled and said frankly, "No, my grandfather came here to look for relatives, but they have already moved away!"
When leaving, he accidentally fell down the mountain!
He broke his leg! He was rescued by the village chief and is recuperating at the village chief's house.
I'm here to pick up my grandfather, so I'll be staying at the village chief's house for now!
The leader responded with an "oh," and the doubt in his eyes disappeared.
"Alright, that takes care of things here! But there's one more thing I need to trouble you with!"
Zhou Ye: "Please speak!"
"You mentioned some ingredients that the children need, but they're not on this supplies list!"
Therefore, please tell the village chief to purchase a new batch of supplies!
"Okay, I'll notify the village chief as soon as I get out!"
Zhou agreed.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
"Of course!"
The guards accompanied Zhou Ye all the way, and their attitude towards him was not so harsh!
As they approached the door, Zhou whispered to the guard, "Brother, there's something I don't know if I should say!"
"What?"
The guard frowned and looked over here!
Zhou thought for a moment and said, "I see that my brother's complexion is not very good. As you know, I am a doctor!"
It seems this is due to years of staying up late. Drinking more black bean water will be good for you!
"Black bean water?"
"Yes, it will only benefit you, and not harm you!"
Zhou also answered with a smile.
The guards knew that Zhou meant well!
His complexion immediately improved: "Thank you!"
"Need not!"
Upon reaching the entrance, everyone nervously watched Zhou Ye. The guard nodded to Zhou Ye, and then they set off!
"How are you? Are you alright?"
Zhou nodded: "It's nothing, their attitude was quite good, they didn't make things difficult for anyone!"
"That's good!"
Throughout the journey, Zhou Ye's expression remained puzzled!
Once home and inside the room, Xie Jianshe asked, "What's wrong? You don't look well!"
“I…I saw a little child inside, a boy! He…”
"What's wrong?" Grandpa looked at Zhou Ye anxiously.
Zhou paused, unsure how to describe it: "It just feels very familiar, but that child is only two years old, so it's definitely not someone I know!"
Who does he resemble?
"Does he look familiar?" Grandpa asked, puzzled.
"Yes, it's very familiar. The moment I saw it, it felt very familiar! There's also something strange about it!"
That's not a quarry at all; it looks more like a small steel mill.
"A steel mill?"
Grandpa said in shock.
"Yes, I think it's just a steel factory!"
Zhou also affirmed.
"Okay, don't think about it too much now, go wash up first!"
After Zhou Ye finished writing her face, she stared in the mirror and suddenly froze!
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Ye remained silent, staring straight at the mirror.
It felt like I was about to stop breathing in the next second!
"Xiaoye?"
Grandpa asked nervously as well.
Zhou Ye suddenly looked at his grandfather and pointed to the mirror: "Grandpa, I know who that child looks like?"
"who?"
"Me!"
Zhou said incredulously.
"What?"
"What?"
Xie Jianshe and his grandfather both looked at Zhou Ye in surprise.
This...this is unbelievable!
Zhou, thinking about the child's appearance, said in disbelief, "It's true. When I first saw the child, I felt that he was very familiar."
I thought of everyone I know, and none of them seemed right!
I never even thought about myself!
Grandpa, it's true, that child looks just like me!
"Do you think it's possible that the child has something to do with me?"
Zhou also tentatively said.
Grandpa flatly refused: "How could that be? You're so young, you can't possibly have children!"
Zhou looked at his grandfather speechlessly.
Grandpa looked at Zhou Ye's eyes and exclaimed in shock, "What do you mean? It's even less likely that I gave birth to him!"
Zhou and Xie Jianshe stared at each other speechlessly.
"Grandpa, what I mean is, is it possible that my parents gave birth to it! My parents are in there!"
And then life went pretty well!
And she even gave birth to my younger brother?
Grandpa blinked, thought for a moment, and said, "Where are your parents? And you said before that it wasn't a quarry, but more like a steel mill?"
"yes!"
We're about to uncover the truth!
"So, it's really very possible!"
Grandpa said excitedly!
Zhou thought for a moment and said, "So, Mom and Dad aren't imprisoned inside. Today, someone who seemed to be a leader asked me to take a look at the child's illness!"
I also saw the house they lived in!
That's considered very good among them!
"No...no!"
Grandpa said doubtfully, "I suspected your mother back then, but now I'm even more suspicious of her!"
Your parents have mastered half of the steel technology.
Now, in this remote place, they've entered this quarry and are disguising themselves!
This is still questionable.
Xiao Ye, think about it carefully, your parents have been kidnapped!
Why are we here now?
If it's a legitimate place, why pretend it's a quarry?
They have children and people taking care of them, so they must be living a good life!
Zhou Ye also fell into deep thought!
"Xiao Ye, let me ask you another question: What if your mother is a bad person?"
"impossible!"
Zhou couldn't believe it either!
How could Mom be a bad person?
Grandpa's mouth moved slightly, but he didn't say anything more.
Zhou took out the list and went to the main room.
"Uncle Zhang, this is a list that the leader inside asked me to give you. He said they need some fresh ingredients."
The village chief took the package and looked at it, then said with a troubled expression, "This... how could I possibly get this? One hundred catties of millet? Fifty catties of black beans? White fungus? Apples? Yams? Pumpkins? High-quality flour?"
this……
Aside from pumpkins, what else could I possibly get my hands on?
Isn't this making things difficult for people?
Why……"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Laoda looked at Zhou Ye and said, "Comrade Xiao Ye, this... this is really putting us in a difficult position!"
What should I do?
Can you get it?
Zhou also said with a worried expression, "This is a bit difficult!"
Of course, she couldn't say that she could do it perfectly well.
Uncle Zhang sighed and looked at Zhou Ye: "Child, Uncle Zhang knows that this matter has put you in a difficult position!"
I asked my eldest and second eldest sons to go to the county town to inquire. If there's anything we can get, we'll prepare it. For things like white fungus and apples, I'll have to trouble you to ask your friends.
Let's see if there's any way.
It's okay, just prepare as much as you have.
They are generally easy to talk to.
Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try! I might not be able to prepare everything this time."
Seeing that Zhou was willing to help!
The village chief was somewhat relieved.
"well……"
Three days later, Zhou had prepared the supplies. Although they weren't quite as complete as required, they were almost there!
Zhang Laoda only prepared pumpkin, yam, and millet...
Everything else will have to be done by Zhou Ye!
There weren't many supplies this time; they only pushed a small cart. The guard already knew Zhou Ye, and although it was unclear whether he could get in, the village chief didn't go this time!
Perhaps it's because Zhou was allowed in before! The guard frowned slightly when he saw that the village chief hadn't come, but didn't say anything.
"Give me the things!" It seems they're not letting Zhou Ye in!
Zhou didn't say anything, and turned to leave!
"Wait...wait..."
An urgent voice came from inside.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Zhou turned around and saw the guard questioning him.
The one who shouted was the same leader from before.
After exchanging a few words, the guard waved to Zhou.
Zhou Ye approached: "Is something the matter?"
The leader greeted him with a smile: "Doctor, you can just call me Comrade Zhao. Shall we go see the child today?"
I know you have difficulty procuring those medicines, so we had someone buy a batch for us. We'll have to trouble you to take a look!
"And please go and check on the injured from last time as well!"
"OK!"
Zhou couldn't wait to go back in!
It would be even better if we could go see the children!
Once inside, Zhou Ye refused to look at anything more than once, even without being reminded!
Comrade Zhao was very satisfied!
First, they checked on the injured soldiers. They were recovering well, but they still needed to take their medication for a few more days. Zhou changed their dressings again, instructing them to change them every other day, and then left.
The medicines were also inspected; there were many types, all of which are commonly used.
On the way out, Zhou Ye suddenly asked, "Does that child from before still have a stomachache?"
Comrade Zhao: "Young comrade, thank you so much for your concern! The child is much better! Although there are still stomach aches, they are much less frequent and last much shorter!"
You need time to procure supplies, so we can only feed the children some millet porridge and soft noodles!
The child is recovering well!
"Shall we take another look?"
"Oh? Is that okay?"
After finishing his question, Zhou continued, "I'm a doctor, and I'm a little worried because the child is so young! Nowadays, parents spoil their children a lot."
They want to give their children all the best food and drinks!
but……
The child has a weak digestive system, so we have to take it slowly!
"Yes, yes!"
We walked back to the same courtyard, and from inside the house, we could hear children playing: "Haha...haha..."
Mother……
Mom, I want to play more...
Mother……"
"OK!"
Zhou Ye stopped abruptly after exclaiming "Great!"
That voice... it sounds so familiar!
Could it be...?
Zhou Ye's expression changed drastically, and it was quickly noticed by those around him.
"What's wrong?"
His eyes held scrutiny, doubt, and suspicion...
Zhou also smiled and said, "There are people inside. May I go in?"
Comrade Zhao laughed: "Hehe... This young comrade is even more cautious than I am!"
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Ye with satisfaction!
There are plenty of curious and puzzled people in the village, but it's rare to find someone like this young comrade who isn't curious or puzzled!
"I'll go in and ask. Please wait a moment!"
"OK!"
Zhou is also very well-behaved and sensible.
Comrade Zhao went inside without worry, and Zhou quickly surveyed the surroundings. This small courtyard was clearly the most important place.
It seems the people inside are being protected.
The voice I just heard sounded so much like my mother's. Could my mother really be here? Is that child really my mother's child?
Zhou Ye was very excited...
If the person inside is the mother, will we see her soon?
Comrade Zhao came out quickly: "Go in."
"good!"
Zhou was so excited she could barely breathe. She tried to regulate her breathing to make herself look less nervous.
Go inside, take a deep breath...
Zhou paused for a moment. There were actually two children in the room, as well as the aunt who had taken care of the children before.
A girl, a little older.
Around four years old!
The two children looked at Zhou Ye with a blank expression, a hint of surprise in their eyes...
Wow... Sister is so pretty...
"Thank you..." Zhou Ye replied with a grin!
I took the child's pulse and asked about his recent condition!
The woman smiled and said, "Thank you so much, doctor. From that day on, we've been drinking millet porridge and eating soft noodles."
Sure enough, I don't get stomach aches as easily anymore!
Much better!
"That's good! If there's still some herbal tea, keep drinking it!"
"good!"
Most of the ingredients were also moved here. After giving a few instructions, Zhou stood up and prepared to leave.
But the little girl grabbed Zhou Ye's hand.
"Sister, can you play with me for a little while?"
"ah?"
Zhou also looked at Comrade Zhao.
He declined, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm from out of town, it's not convenient for me!"
The little girl pouted, "Sister, I'm Rou'er, remember me! Next time..."
Zhou Ye looked at her gently...
She glanced at everyone and said, "Next time you come, could you bring me a doll? My mom told me that they sell rag dolls outside!"
Zhou nodded: "Okay, if my sister runs into it, I'll definitely bring it for you next time I come!"
"Mmm!"
Rou'er nodded obediently.
Zhou left the quarry, greeted the guard, and then departed!
On the way back, she was very excited!
That girl looks a lot like me...
They really do look alike.
She was actually quite disappointed; that voice sounded just like her mother's. If her mother were inside, that would have been perfect!
But……
When they went in, they left instead!
Unbeknownst to her, before she could leave, a woman entered the house again!
"They're gone?"
"Yes, madam!"
"Mother……"
"Why!"
The woman looked tenderly at the two children.
Rou'er whispered, "Mommy, I just saw a big sister, she's so pretty! Just as pretty as Rou'er!"
"Really? Then you must really like her, right? She's actually a doctor, you know. If Rou'er misbehaves, she'll get a shot!"
"Oh? No! I don't want a shot! My sister won't give me one!"
"Really?" "Hehe..."
