Chapter 266 Pregnancy
On a summer night, there is not a single cloud in the sky, and the stars sparkle like scattered diamonds. The moon hung obliquely in the sky, and the hustle and bustle of Beishan Village during the day disappeared under the night sky.
The night breeze was blowing gently, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and Yike and Ziyi were walking home leisurely hand in hand.
"Honey, what did the captain say?" Yike asked softly.
"The team leader said there is no problem. Rural children are very naughty and dare to go anywhere. The safety issues we think about do not exist in rural areas. Usually, children run around the villages picking up cow dung and dog feces. They can also sell popsicles while picking up cow dung, killing two birds with one stone." Ziyi replied in a low voice.
Yike thought of the children eating popsicles with one hand and picking up a pile of dog shit with the other, "Ugh," Yike dry heaved.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling stomach upset?" Ziyi stopped and asked.
Yi Ke hurriedly shook his head, "No, it's just that the thought of a child picking up dog poop and eating popsicles is a bit disgusting."
Ziyi couldn't help but laugh softly, "Haha, look at what you're thinking about, you've made yourself sick."
The two of them walked home chatting and laughing, and when they arrived at the door, they found someone standing at the door.
"Who?" Ziyi protected Yike behind him and shouted.
"It's me, from the cowshed on the mountain." A deep male voice sounded.
Ziyi shone the flashlight on the other person's face and found out that it was the man named Ye who had been sent down from the countryside.
"What's the matter?" Ziyi asked in a low voice cautiously.
"The child has a fever. I would like to ask your wife to go and see him. Do you think it's okay?" the man said in a pleading tone.
"Okay, you go back first, we'll be there soon." Yi Ke hurriedly agreed in a low voice.
"Thank you! Thank you!" The man surnamed Ye thanked him gratefully, and Ziyi waved his hand to signal him to go back.
"He must have been scared during the fight, but he's still relatively strong. It took a few days for him to develop a fever. Poor child." He said pitifully.
"Well, he might have been mentally stressed out by his mother during those days. Now that he sees his mother's condition has improved, he's relaxed and it's natural for him to have a fever." Ziyi guessed.
"It's almost certain. Let's go. I've got my medicine. Let's go early and come back early. I'm very tired today and I want to go to bed early."
"Wife, I'll go, you rest at home."
"You can treat illnesses, right? Really, let's go, it's the same as going early and coming back early."
The two men didn't dare to use a flashlight to go to the cowshed on the side of the mountain. Fortunately, their eyesight was good and they finally arrived at the cowshed in the dark.
The man surnamed Ye was waiting at the door of the cowshed. When he saw the two of them coming, he led them in.
Another room in the cowshed was repaired, and the boy and his mother lived in it.
"Little girl, please take a look. Xiao Chao has been unconscious since this afternoon and has a high fever."
Ikko could see the little boy's red face and dry lips, and before he even touched his hand, he could feel heat.
Yi Ke knew what was going on without feeling his pulse, but she felt it anyway, then dissolved a fever-reducing pill in water and gave it to him to drink, and asked them to wipe the boy's entire body with the alcohol she brought from home.
Ziyi helped to wipe it first and let them learn for a while. It was impossible for Yike to stay here with them.
"My dear brother, little girl, thank you for saving me that day. I have always wanted to thank you in person, but I was afraid of causing trouble to you, so I could only thank you in my heart. Thank you! How much do you think the consultation fee will be? I have no money. Do you think I can use this to pay for it?" The boy's mother took out a gold bracelet and said.
"Forget about the consultation fee, but you'd better not take out this bracelet casually. Keep it hidden, otherwise you will be..."
"I know. I'd better give it to you. You can't keep it here, so just consider it as medical fee. I know it's not enough and it's not valuable now, but I..." The boy's mother couldn't say any more.
"Okay, I'll keep it for you temporarily. When you die in the future, I'll return it to you." Yike put the bracelet away and said, "Give me your hand and I'll check your pulse again."
"I don't need it. Just take care of the child's illness. I'm fine now." The boy's mother stared at Ziyi's wiping movements and learned carefully.
"I see that you don't look well. It's better to take a look. After all, your son still needs your care. If you are not in good health, you don't have the energy to take care of him, right?"
"Thank you, thank you!" the boy's mother said gratefully, and stretched out her hand for Yike to feel her pulse.
Yike took the boy's pulse carefully, and the more he took the pulse, the more he frowned. Finally, he looked at the boy's mother with a complicated expression, not knowing how to start.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" the boy's mother asked puzzledly.
"You've been pregnant for more than two months."
"What? I'm pregnant?" she asked in disbelief, then surprised, and finally hugged her head in pain, sobbing softly.
"Is she really pregnant?" the man surnamed Ye asked in a low voice.
"Yes, it's true, and the fetus is not stable. It may miscarry at any time." Yi Ke still told him the pulse condition.
"Girl, could you please prescribe me another dose of abortion pill? He came at a really bad time. Woo woo." The boy's mother choked up at the end.
"You have to think carefully about this. Your body is not suitable for an abortion. You are too weak and have severe anemia."
"No, I have to get the shot even if I don't want to. You just said there are signs of miscarriage. I can't rest in my current state, let alone replenish my body. Please prescribe some medicine for me."
Yi Ke was in a dilemma. To be honest, even in her past life or this life, she had never harmed any life. Now she was asked to prescribe abortion pills to kill a fetus that had just been born, and she felt she couldn't do it.
Yi Ke shook his head and refused, saying in a bad tone: "No, I don't know how to prescribe abortion pills. I haven't learned it."
"Girl, I don't want to abort the baby either. I even want to give birth to the baby. His father is now dead or alive. I am willing to die if I can leave him an offspring. But I can't die now. What will happen to Chao'er if I die? He is still so young. Yes, can Chao'er's disease be cured? Girl, Chao'er..."
"It's okay. As long as the fever goes down tonight, it will be fine. I've already taken antipyretics. Use alcohol to wipe it from time to time at night and give him more boiled water. It will be fine tomorrow. I'll come over to check on him tomorrow when I have the chance. You don't have to come over to look for me."
"Thank you! Thank you!" The boy's mother kept thanking him, and finally asked Yi Ke to prescribe abortion pills for her, but Yi Ke still refused.
The boy's mother began to sob softly. After Ziyi wiped the boy's whole body with alcohol, he gave the remaining alcohol to the man named Ye.
Yike pulled Ziyi out of the cowshed as if they were escaping. Ziyi shook Yike's hand vigorously, signaling Yike not to be nervous.
The two returned home, and Yike felt a little better.
"It's okay. If you don't want to prescribe the medicine, then don't prescribe it. No one can blame you." Ziyi comforted.
"But that woman's Qi and blood are seriously depleted. If she miscarries, there could be two deaths."
"Then abortion is just as dangerous, so you should just not do anything and let nature take its course."
After falling asleep at night, Yike had a terrible dream. In the dream, the woman was lying in a pool of blood, and a baby the size of an apple was wriggling in the blood...
