An Hua asked the children to go home and went to the infirmary herself.
The doctor was giving Hu Zi an injection, which should be an antidote.
After a while, Hu Zi's twitching became less severe, but his eyes were dull and he looked dazed.
An Hua asked the doctor, "What kind of poison did he get?"
The doctor knew An Hua and replied, "It was the rat poison that was put in our hospital. However, it is not very toxic, so it's nothing serious."
"Oh, this rat poison is quite dangerous. Should we not put it in the staff quarters? What if someone's child eats it?" The speaker was a young daughter-in-law, Jiang Dahai's neighbor, and the person who sent Hu Zi to the infirmary.
An Hua asked her, "Do you know how Hu Zi ate rat poison?"
Hu Zi’s neighbor shook his head.
"I don't know about that. I was just passing by his house and took a casual look inside. Who knew that I saw Huzi vomiting, so I went in and asked him what was wrong. He said he was not feeling well... Although I have a grudge against his mother, I was kind-hearted. Seeing the child in that state, I took him to the infirmary without saying a word. Otherwise, he would have died."
At this time, the doctor said: "Judging from the patient's symptoms, the amount in his mouth was very small. He must have accidentally got the poison on his hands without washing them, and then ate with his hands, which led to his poisoning. And..."
A neighbor of Huzi's family suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "My child said at noon that he saw Huzi sticking his butt out and looking into the mouse hole. I didn't know what he was looking at. I didn't think much about it at the time. I thought Huzi was so old and would not eat rat poison."
The doctor said, "He definitely didn't eat it directly, otherwise the poisoning wouldn't be so mild. He must have been playing around and got the rat poison on his hands without washing them."
An Hua looked at Hu Zi, but unexpectedly Hu Zi was also looking at her. After meeting her gaze, Hu Zi shuddered and lowered his head hastily.
At this time, Jiang Dahai rushed over.
When he learned that his son was poisoned, he rushed here, trembling with fear all the way.
My only son, please don't let anything happen to you...
When Hu Zi saw his father coming, he seemed even more frightened and shrank back into the bed.
Jiang Dahai learned about the situation from the doctor, and his first reaction was anger, "Why are you so playful that you even play with rat poison? You're itching to be beaten for three days, right?"
Hu Zi didn't say anything.
Jiang Dahai was so angry that he raised his hand.
The doctor couldn't bear to see him and quickly stopped him, "Captain Jiang, if you have something to say, the child has been poisoned and is weak now. He can't stand your beating."
Jiang Dahai took a deep breath, put down his hand, and softened his tone. He asked Hu Zi, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else? Tell me so the doctor can take a look at you. Don't leave any root of disease behind."
When Hu Zi saw his father soften, he hardened up and shouted, "It hurts everywhere. My stomach hurts, my mouth hurts, and my head hurts."
"Nonsense!" Jiang Dahai showed signs of getting angry again.
Hu Zi quickly said: "You are the one who should ask, I am in pain anyway!"
Jiang Dahai looked at the doctor suspiciously. Is this guy telling the truth or a lie?
Doctor: “Uh…”
At this time, An Hua suddenly said, "I believe Hu Zi is in pain everywhere. After all, my duck also cried out in pain when it died."
The others looked at An Hua in confusion, "What duck?"
Hu Zi yelled, "Nonsense, ducks can't talk, so they won't cry out in pain."
An Hua: "How do you know it can't talk? It talked when it died."
Hu Zi blurted out: "I was right next to you, how come I didn't hear it?"
An Hua: "So, you were right next to my duck when it died. Was it poisoned to death by you?"
Hu Zi was speechless for a moment, then he shook his head repeatedly, "I didn't, it wasn't me, I didn't..."
An Hua turned to Jiang Dahai and told him about the death of her duck. "...As for whether Hu Zi poisoned it to death, he doesn't admit it, and I don't want to wrongly accuse him. So, we can only ask a more authoritative organization to thoroughly investigate this matter. I will report it to the police."
The more Jiang Dahai listened, the uglier his expression became. He stared at Hu Zi with eyes that looked like they were about to spit fire. But when he heard An Hua say at last that she would report it to the police, he was shocked.
"Sister-in-law, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter, but it is not appropriate to report it to the police. After all, this is an internal matter of our army. Besides, the child is still young..."
