Gu Jinhua, who was a few steps behind Jiang Xiaoqiao, pushed through the crowd and came forward. When she saw this scene, she collapsed to the ground.
Gu Zhen lay on the ground, his whole body wet. His face was paler than any of his previous attacks, and his chest was motionless.
A child hid aside and started crying. Several aunts comforted him, saying, "My condolences..."
Jiang Xiaoqiao checked Gu Zhen's condition and started artificial respiration and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
An aunt nearby couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Xiangbei's wife, Gu Zhen's child is gone, so stop torturing him."
Kissing and pressing each other in broad daylight, how disrespectful!
"Aunt Jinhua, please persuade Xiangbei's wife. The child is gone. She can't treat him like this..." A young wife muttered.
Gu Jinhua said, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Our Xiao Qiao is trying to save Gu Zhen!"
After saying this, Gu Jinhua took two steps forward.
She supported Jiang Xiaoqiao, but looking at Gu Zhen's pale face, she didn't know whether she should firmly support him...
This child...
At first glance, it's clear...
Gu Jinhua wiped her tears with her hand, stepped forward, and said, "Xiao Qiao, how can I help?"
"Mom, please let them disperse and stop gathering here."
While Jiang Xiaoqiao was saying these words, her hands were constantly moving.
"Everything is stuck here, the air is blocked, and it's not conducive to my rescue of Xiao Zhen."
Before Gu Jinhua could make a move, Gu Lei jumped out like a little wolf, forcing the surrounding women to retreat.
"Back off, back off! My mother is saving my brother, you guys back off!"
When the child shouted these words, his voice was filled with tears.
"You kid, how can you not know what's good for you? Your brother is gone, how can your stepmother save him..."
“Get out, get out, get out!”
Gu Jinhua glared with her big eyes and shouted, "Everyone, step back! Don't disturb my daughter-in-law!"
"Didn't you see my daughter-in-law saving people? Are you trying to kill my grandson?"
After being suppressed by Gu Jinhua's two sentences, the people watching around took a few steps back.
They didn't save anyone, but they didn't harm anyone either.
A few people rushed over after hearing the child's crying. When they arrived, they saw Gu Zhen breathing more in than out.
It was obvious that the child was beyond saving. They had no ill intentions, they just thought that if the child was to go, he should go in a dignified manner and there was no need to torture him.
But looking at the actions of Gu Jinhua and the others, especially Jiang Xiaoqiao, I inexplicably felt something.
It seems that Jiang Xiaoqiao still cares about children.
Even if you care about me, you can't tease a child like this...
While the onlookers were thinking about it in their hearts, the child who had just run to call for help and the team leader Zhou Lao and others arrived. Gu Weimin, Gu Xiangdong and He Zhaodi were also in the crowd.
Just at this moment, Gu Zhen spat out a large mouthful of water, and his small chest began to rise and fall.
Gu Xiaohua, who had been watching Jiang Xiaoqiao's movements, shouted, "Yes, the child is moving! He's alive!"
Gu Jinhua and Gu Lei quickly came forward, and the expressions of Gu Weiguo, Zhou Lao and others who had hurried over after hearing the news also relaxed.
Gu Jinhua picked up Gu Zhen, Jiang Xiaoqiao called Gu Lei and the other two, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurriedly took the children and rushed home.
Zhou Lao, Gu Weimin, and the others followed suit. Seeing that Gu Zhen's condition wasn't too serious, Gu Weiguo decided to stay and asked, "Tell me, how did Gu Zhen fall into the river?"
The remaining children were a little scared when they saw Gu Weiguo's serious expression, and explained everything clearly.
Their parents were afraid of the team leader, let alone them, the children.
In addition, the children who were still there were all those who got along well with the Gu brothers.
"It's Erzhuzi. We were looking for bird eggs and catching small fish by the river. Erzhuzi brought Dashan and the others over here to cause trouble for us."
"Erzhuzi told us to give him our bird eggs, otherwise he would beat us."
"We quarreled, we quarreled!"
…
"Wow, then, then the bird eggs were smashed to pieces, and Gu Zhen was pushed into the river..."
Listening to a group of children talking about the cause of the incident, Gu Weiguo's face turned pale and his head was pounding.
An eight or nine-year-old child pushed the children in the same group into the river just because of a few bird eggs.
If they don't teach him well, there will be a bad guy in their team in the future!
Gu Weiguo's face turned green as he went to talk to Erzhuzi's parents.
On the other side, Jiang Xiaoqiao and her friends returned home and asked the children to change their wet clothes.
As soon as He Zhaodi entered the yard, she hurried to the kitchen to boil water, make brown sugar ginger water, and also boil hot water for the children to take a bath.
Gu Lei, Gu Pingyang and Gu Pingguang went back to their rooms to change into dry clothes, while Gu Zhen was given dry clothes by Gu Weimin.
Jiang Xiaoqiao didn't bother to be polite with Mr. Zhou. She grabbed several herbs from his medicine box and asked the old man to help her cook a decoction.
She went back to the house and found a pair of gold needles. He Zhaodi stuffed a lot of firewood into the stove, and the water soon heated up.
Gu Lei, Gu Pingyang and Gu Pingguang all asked Gu Zhen to take a hot bath first. The adults didn't say much, because they could quickly heat up another pot of hot water anyway.
Gu Weimin found the wooden basin at home. This basin had been used for Gu Zhen's bathing recently. Jiang Xiaoqiao would prepare a herbal bath for the child.
Less than a week after it was out of use, the basin was found again.
Jiang Xiaoqiao threw several cold-dispelling herbs into the basin and called Gu Jinhua and He Zhaodi to prepare some for Gu Lei and the other two.
"Oh, okay, I remember that."
Holding a small bowl of medicinal soup boiled over a high fire, Mr. Zhou said, "Girl, the medicine is ready."
"Sorry to bother Mr. Zhou."
"You're still being polite to me. Let me see the child."
Old Zhou put the medicine bowl aside and took Gu Zhen's pulse.
"Fortunately, you've managed to restore his strength recently, but this fall into the water is another major blow to his vitality."
Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "It's okay. If he runs out of money, I'll pay him back."
Mr. Zhou believed this.
"The luckiest thing for this child is probably meeting you."
Seeing Jiang Xiaoqiao preparing to give Gu Zhen acupuncture, Mr. Zhou decisively shut up.
Gu Weimin was sitting quietly by the side, not saying a word. He was quite frightened by what happened today.
After Jiang Xiaoqiao finished the acupuncture, Gu Weimin followed his instructions, picked up the child from the wooden basin, dried his body, and dressed him.
Several people fed Gu Zhen the medicine in the room. Jiang Xiaoqiao went back to the room, took out the clothes she and Gu Xiangbei were currently covering themselves with, as well as the quilt at home, and covered Gu Zhen with them.
Now that Gu Zhen's condition is better, Jiang Xiaoqiao has more time to pay attention to Gu Lei and the others.
She said, "Shitou, Pingguang, Pingyang, there's some medicine brewed by Grandpa Zhou in the kitchen. Each of you three can take a bowl and drink it. After you finish, go back to your room and cover yourself with the quilt to stifle the sweat."
