Chapter 115 Save the Child
After the show, An Lan inspected the fields and then went back to the educated youth home to cook some food for Huo Linyuan in the factory.
It was when An Lan passed by a century-old tree in the village and saw Aunt Feng, who looked hurried.
Aunt Feng was a famous butcher in the village. She specialized in luring the idle people in the village to gamble so that she could make a profit from it.
If that were the case, An Lan would not remember her, after all, she had no interest in gambling.
The reason An Lan remembered her was because Aunt Feng lured a person named Liu Hongying to gamble.
Liu Hongying came from another village and soon gave birth to a boy for the Zhang family.
Zhang's parents-in-law loved their grandson very much. In order to take better care of him, they let Liu Hongying stay at home to take care of him and cook, without having to go to work. For this reason, Liu Hongying became the envy of the women in the village.
After all, in this era of food and clothing shortages, almost every household went to work in the fields with their children on their backs, and some even didn't even have confinement leave. How could they be like Liu Hongying?
Aunt Feng saw that Liu Hongying was often alone at home, and gradually she began to have evil thoughts.
Liu Hongying had never been involved in gambling before. In order to make Zhou Hongying addicted to gambling, the dealer let Liu Hongying win at the beginning.
Liu Hongying's family is very poor, so if she wins one hand, it means half a year's expenses for an ordinary family. How can she not be excited?
Gradually, the bigger the bet, the more you lose.
Liu Hongying was always upset when she lost and wanted to win back all the money she lost, so when her family members went to work, she often left her children at home and went out to gamble.
Once, when she was bathing her son, she found the water was cold, so she put the iron basin on the stove to heat it up.
Aunt Feng always came here according to the time when the Zhang family left. As soon as she arrived at the Zhang family, she immediately called Liu Hongying to come.
When Liu Hongying heard Aunt Feng's voice, she completely forgot about her son who was still at the stove and followed Aunt Feng.
Zhang Jianguo came back to get something, but he smelled the aroma of meat, and thought it was Liu Hongying cooking meat, so he went to the kitchen to take a look, only to find that his six-month-old son had been cooked!
An Lan couldn't understand Zhang Jianguo's expression at that time, but she thought he must have been very angry!
Otherwise, Zhang Jianguo would not have hacked Liu Hongying and Aunt Feng to death together!
An Lan didn't know the exact day the incident happened, but now she saw Aunt Feng sneaking towards Zhang's house.
An Lan felt uneasy and decided to go and see for himself.
When they arrived at Zhang's house, they saw the door was open and heard a child's heart-wrenching cry from inside. The cry seemed to pierce An Lan's heart.
An Lan's heart tightened, and he quickly ran into the kitchen, only to see the child sitting on the stove, his face flushed, with wisps of smoke coming out of his head!
Without time to think, An Lan reached into the water with his bare hands, picked up the crying child, and quickly filled a basin with cold water and put the child in it.
Only then did An Lan see clearly that the child's neck was all red and swollen, and there were blisters of varying sizes.
An Lan felt distressed when he saw this and anxiously asked the system in his mind.
"Xiao Ba, hurry up and find the best burn medicine in the mall."
"Host, this child's burns are too extensive, and the burn medicine is just a drop in the bucket."
"What should we do? He's crying so hard, it must be painful!" An Lan couldn't help but redden her eyes.
"Host, don't worry. When Xiao Ba was still with the Lord God, he stole a bottle of revitalizing liquid from him. If you feed the child a drop, within seven days, even the broken limbs will grow back."
After the system finished speaking, An Lan had a white porcelain bottle that sparkled with light in his hand.
An Lan did not hesitate and fed the child several drops.
After the child drank it, he stopped crying instantly.
The blisters on the skin are shrinking rapidly beyond the naked eye, remaining the size of a fingernail, and the skin is no longer red. It will return to normal skin color, but it will take some time.
An Lan lowered her head to check if the child had any other injuries, and saw the child looking at her with a pair of big watery eyes.
Seeing An Lan looking at him, she showed a sweet smile and made babbling sounds.
"Host, he is thanking you." Xiao Ba looked at such a cute little guy. He didn't know why. He didn't care about it, but he actually felt a sense of softness.
"Xiao Ba, you can actually speak baby talk!" An Lan was very surprised.
"Host, don't underestimate me. I am an all-powerful system. Let me tell you what the little guy said."
As soon as the words fell, a childish voice was heard.
[Finally left the big basin, the baby was almost scalded to death, wuwu...]
[Thank you sister for giving the baby some good water to drink. The baby finally doesn’t feel any pain anymore.]
[My sister is so beautiful, like a fairy as grandma said.]
[Um, baby wants to pee, fairy sister, please go away.]
When An Lan heard the last sentence, he quickly dodged to the side.
Looking at the high parabola, if you don't dodge in time, you will definitely be hit in the face.
[Wow, sister is awesome, she actually knew the baby needed to pee.]
An Lan smiled and tapped the tip of the little guy's nose: "Little guy, you have a conscience and let me avoid your boy's urine."
"Now tell me which room your clothes are in, and I'll find some for you to wear, so you don't catch a cold."
An Lan listened to the child's voice and successfully found a small piece of clothing. When she was about to put it on the little guy, she heard a noise from the door, followed by a man's voice.
"Who are you?"
"What are you doing?"
An Lan turned around and found Zhang Jianguo standing at the door with a hoe in his hand.
"An Zhiqing?" Zhang Jianguo was very surprised. He didn't know why An Lan was in his house and in his room?
Then Zhang Jianguo saw his naked son lying on the bed, his body covered with blisters of various sizes, the size of his fingernails.
Zhang Jianguo's heart ached as he looked at him. He quickly stepped forward and picked him up. "Jiabao, it doesn't hurt. I'll take you to see a doctor."
After saying that, he ran towards the destination without paying any attention to An Lan.
An Lan was very surprised that Zhang Jianguo did not question whether she was the one who caused the injuries on her child. But then she remembered that the child was not dressed yet, so she had to follow him.
Zhang Jianguo was holding the naked child, whose body was covered with blisters, which were very noticeable. Many people thought the child was scalded and went to check.
Zhang Jianguo carried the child all the way to Dr. Chen's clinic.
When Dr. Chen saw that the child had so many blisters, he immediately asked Zhang Jianguo to put the child on the bed and then started to treat him.
After Doctor Chen had finished, An Lan quickly handed the clothes to Zhang Jianguo. After Zhang Jianguo took it and put it on the child, he turned to An Lan and said, "An Zhiqing, thank you for saving Jiabao's life!"
"You know?"
"Well, when I went out, I saw my wife giving the child a bath. Now Jiabao is covered with burns. She must have gone to play cards again! And your hands are also burned." Zhang Jianguo looked at An Lan's fair little hands with gratitude and guilt, which were also covered with blisters of varying sizes.
"I'm fine, it's just a minor injury." An Lan smiled slightly and didn't care too much. There were a lot of burn medicines in the system, so just apply it.
"No matter what, thank you, An Zhiqing, you saved Jiabao's life." Zhang Jianguo's eyes were red and he bowed deeply to An Lan.
"It's okay, but I'll be careful next time. Don't put the basin and the person in it on the stove to heat it up when taking a bath. It's very dangerous!" An Lan said seriously.
Zhang Jianguo was trembling all over, his eyes were bloodshot. "You said that bitch Liu Hongying put Jiabao on the stove to heat it up?"
An Lan nodded.
When everyone heard it, they exclaimed, “Wow!”
"What? Is Liu Hongying crazy? She put the child on the stove to heat it up, and then she ran to play with Xiaopai!"
"Fuck, if An Zhiqing hadn't found out, the child would have probably been cooked."
"Liu Hongying is too much. Why did she leave the child alone at home? What if something happens?"
"Isn't this a big deal? Look at the child's body, it's covered with burns. If the educated youth hadn't discovered it in time, the consequences would have been disastrous."
"I am her neighbor and often hear the child crying. I thought it was the child making a fuss, but I didn't expect that Liu Hongying had left the child alone at home."
"Liu Hongying is so heartless. The child is so young. Look at him, he is covered with burns. It hurts me to see him."
