Chapter 52 Pick One Get One Free
Xie Shuangbai was shocked. Where did the dead person come from?
He looked left and right, and swallowed:
"All of you stand still. Xiaoshu and Heidou, come with me and take a look."
Xie Shuangbai slowly approached the place where Xie Chunmiao screamed. Dahei was spinning around anxiously on the spot, panting heavily, as if he couldn't wait to show off the prey he had found.
The fallen leaves on the mountain made a squeaking sound as Xie Shuangbai stepped on them.
Under a large tree with only a few leaves left on its trunk, thick fallen leaves covered a man in black clothes.
Xie Shuangbai suppressed the fear in his heart, carefully reached out his hand to feel the man's breath, and then touched the artery in his neck.
Although weak, it still beats.
He sat down on the ground and wiped the thin layer of sweat from his forehead.
He wanted to turn the man over, but he was too heavy.
He saw the man curled up, as if he was hiding something in his arms?
Xie Shuangbai called out, "Xiaoshu, Heidou, come and help."
The three of them worked together to turn the unconscious man over.
Xie Shuangbai gasped in shock.
A pale-faced child was held tightly in the arms of an unconscious man.
Xie Shuangbai quickly felt the child's breath.
He finally felt relieved.
Xie Shuangbai quickly assessed the situation and ordered:
"Heidou, quietly call Uncle Li home. Xiaoshu, pull the cart over here, and we'll transport them back."
Then he looked at the ground on the mountain:
"Little Tree, pick up some leaves to cover them, and then press the red fruits on top."
Li Xiaoshu nodded: "I understand, Boss."
It was a joyful trip up the mountain that we finally managed to have, but it ended before it even began.
Xie Shuangbai thought it was a good thing that Aunt Cui hadn't notified everyone to collect the thorn eggs, otherwise these two people would definitely be discovered.
Several people worked together to secretly send them to Xie Shuangbai's house.
Xie Shuangbai looked around at the door and quickly closed it. He massaged his arms and gasped for breath from exhaustion.
The unconscious man was very tall and strong.
It took a lot of effort to move him!
Before they could catch their breath, a noise was heard.
"Is Cui stupid? Why is he collecting thorn eggs?"
"Never mind her. It's not good to have money to give you. Hurry up or someone else will get there first. We need to pick more."
"Hurry up and pick the thorn eggs. They're peeled for 2 pounds each!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the sound coming from outside the door.
It was a close call, they almost collided with the people outside!
Li Xiaoshu looked at the unconscious person on the cart, hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Boss, I think this guy is not simple. If you save him, will you..."
Xie Shuangbai also knew it, but he really couldn't just stand by and watch someone die.
He said to everyone with a serious expression, "You must keep this a secret. We haven't encountered anything today. Do you understand?"
Several people were also made nervous by this atmosphere and nodded, "Understood!"
"Xiaoshu, carry the person to my house first."
Xie Shuangbai and the others worked together to put the man on the bed. Then, at the door, the anxious voice of Old Man Li came:
"Is Frost Boy sick again? I told him to take good care of himself, but he wouldn't listen!"
"Uncle Li!" He called him breathlessly in the house.
Old Man Li heard that he seemed to be in trouble and shouted, "Frost boy!"
Old man Li ran to Xie Shuangbai's house in a panic, but when he got in, he found that he was fine.
Old man Li pointed at Xie Shuangbai and said angrily, "What are you doing? Are you trying to scare me to death?"
Xie Shuangbai couldn't care about anything else and said anxiously, "Uncle, that's not the case. Go and look at them!"
Only then did Old Man Li see clearly the two people, one big and one small, lying on the bed.
A man with black lips and a child with a pale face and weak breathing.
His expression tensed, and he quickly stepped forward to check the child's pulse: "Who are they?"
Xie Shuangbai didn't dare to say too much, and only whispered: "I picked it up."
Old man Li gave him a deep look, puffed his beard and glared, "You are so kind!"
He stroked his graying beard and took the child's pulse intently: "This child... seems to have been poisoned?"
"Like? Then did it hit the mark?"
Old Man Li frowned, carefully felt the child's pulse, and checked his eyes, lips, and tongue. "The child's poisoning isn't serious. I'll prescribe some medicine for him to try."
He turned around and checked on the unconscious man. As soon as he felt his pulse, he frowned. "He's been poisoned too. It's more serious than the child's. Let him take some medicine first and see if he can make it!"
Old man Li’s expression clearly said: Whether he can survive depends on God.
Xie Shuangbai had no choice but to do this.
"Wang Yun, you and Hei Dou go to Uncle Li's house to get the medicine, and ask him how to make the medicine."
Old man Li hurriedly took them back to boil medicine.
Xie Shuangbai is now in a state of panic and his plans have been disrupted.
He pondered for a while and arranged:
"Since Xiaoshu has had this incident, it's not convenient for me to go to town with you. In a couple of days, you and Wang Yun and the other four should go to town to look for a dental shop and workshop. We need a large yard, a well, and room for workers and yourselves to live. We should also see if there are any people in town who raise homing pigeons."
"I understand, Boss."
Xie Shuangbai thought of something else: "You and Xiaoshan should go to the workshop in the next two days to learn how to make tofu. Make sure you understand every step clearly, especially the proportions. Don't make mistakes."
"Good boss, let's go now."
Xie Shuangbai nodded, and Li Xiaoshu and Li Xiaoshan went to Wang's house.
Before, tofu was made in his yard, but Xie Shuangbai really didn't like people coming and going in the yard, so he moved the production to Wang's house and also moved the stone mill there.
Now the public mill and the mill he bought are running in two shifts, and it is more convenient at Wang's than at his place.
Compared to these things, he is more worried about the two people, one big and one small, on the bed.
Xie Xiachan also frowned: "Brother, what will you do if they sleep in your bed?"
Xie Shuangbai thought to himself: That’s true, this is a good question.
Xie Shuangbai waved his hand and said, "It's okay, the kang is so big that I can sleep at the end of the bed."
It was all thanks to him that he built a 4*4.5 meter large kang bed at the beginning, so it was no problem for three people to sleep on it.
"Go ahead and do your work. I'll keep an eye on these two."
He suddenly asked, "Daya, will the bean sprouts be ready the day after tomorrow?"
"Yes, I distributed 500 kilograms this time. We are out of mung beans, so I want Aunt Cui to help collect some."
"Okay, you take care of the arrangements. After the bean sprouts have grown, go find Wang Yun."
"I understand, brother." After saying that, he glanced at the person on the bed with a worried look on his face and left.
Xie Shuangbai quickly closed the door and locked it.
He was so anxious that he forgot about the spiritual spring. When he was in poor health before, the spiritual spring could regulate his health. Could it also detoxify him?
Anyway, we might as well give it a try.
He fed the two of them a lot with a gurgling sound.
But after a cup of tea, the unconscious child seemed to have responded. He was hot all over and was muttering something in pain.
Xie Shuangbai leaned closer and listened hard, but couldn't hear clearly. It seemed like someone was calling for his mother.
Xie Shuangbai's heart softened instantly.
The child on the bed didn't look very big, probably about three or four years old. He was a very handsome little baby, and he looked like a replica of the unconscious man next to him. At first glance, he was a smaller version of him.
They say a son looks like his mother, but this child looks like his father.
Xie Shuangbai was so frightened that he couldn't see what they looked like. He looked at the sleeping man carefully again.
He has sharp eyebrows, a high nose bridge, lips that are neither thick nor thin, and a clear lip peak. Even though he is unconscious, he looks like a very masculine man.
Xie Shuangbai seemed to have found something fun. He looked at the big one and compared it with the small one. The two people on the bed looked like dolls, one big and one small.
Suddenly the child started to twitch. Xie Shuangbai was so scared that he quickly stuffed a handkerchief into his mouth. After a while, he slowly calmed down.
He murmured anxiously in Xie Shuangbai's arms: "Mother, Chi'er misses... you"
Xie Shuangbai didn't quite hear it, and asked in confusion, "Idiot?"
