Chapter 321 Help
During the time when the men went shopping, Yi Ke also learned that the couple's village was located in a mountain in the Western Province, and its name was Hongjia Village. It is said that the Hong family moved here from Yunnan during the Ming Dynasty and settled here.
Why did they choose to build the village deep in the mountains? The elders in the village said that their ancestors were important officials in the Ming Dynasty. Because they offended treacherous officials, they had to move to the deep mountains in order to save the lives of the entire family.
There are only seven or eight households in Hongjia Village now, and the villagers rarely leave the village because they have to walk a long mountain road to leave the village. This mountain road goes through a river between two mountains, which is very dangerous when it rains. If you want to walk up the mountain, you have to cross mountains and ridges, and it will be dark when you leave the mountain.
The commune had originally arranged for the entire village to move out of the mountains, but there was a drought in the past few years and there was no water to drink. It was better to live in the mountains, at least there was water to drink and wild vegetables to eat, so the entire village did not move out.
It is difficult for them to leave the mountain, and it is also difficult for people from outside to enter the mountain. Normally, they are fine, but the most feared thing is getting sick. By the time they get out of the mountain, they are almost on their last breath.
What’s even more difficult is that they have no money, and no one in the whole village has any money. This time his child was sick, and he didn't know what the disease was, and he has been in a coma ever since.
The whole village pooled money to get them treated. They went to the commune health center, but the health center told them to go to the county hospital. When they got to the county hospital, they said they couldn't be cured either, and asked them to go to the provincial people's hospital.
They sought medical treatment in one hospital after another and finally came to the Provincial People's Hospital. They were very careful with their money and put it in a cloth bag they sewed themselves and tied the bag to their lapels. As a result, not only did they lose their money, but their lapels were also cut by the knife.
The woman suspected that she lost her wallet after queuing up in the registration hall. She and the man registered and squeezed out. Because they were in a hurry to see the doctor, they were careless for a moment.
The family had already despaired. They were about to watch their child die and experience the heart-wrenching pain, but Yi Ke gave them hope. He not only saved their child, but also helped them solve their life problems.
The couple was so grateful that they didn't know what words to use to express it. The only thing the woman could think of was to kowtow a few more times.
Yike took the pulse of the boy named Hong Yang and found the medicine prescribed by the doctor to be effective, so she did not tell the woman anything. She just asked them to pay more attention to the boy after they recovered and returned home. She also bought clothes for other children in their family, left some money for them for living expenses, and helped pay enough money for their discharge from the hospital. Only then did the two of them end their trip to the hospital today.
After sending Ziyi and Yike home, the man returned to the ward. The couple sat in front of their son's bed, looking at him sleeping in the bed, and felt like they were in a dream.
"Dad, this is true. Our child is saved. Right?" the woman asked, grabbing the man's hand.
"Really, it's true. We met good people, kind people."
"Thank you, ancestors, for showing us your power and letting us meet good people, noble people."
"Stop talking like that. Stop believing in feudal superstitions. Do you want to kill us?"
"I, I won't say anything." The woman stammered.
"We will keep our benefactors in our hearts and thank them later."
The two discussed in the ward how to thank Yike and Ziyi in the future. Ziyi and Yike also discussed them when they returned home.
"Hubby, there are only a few families in their village, and it's in the mountains. What do you think about us using their place as a transit point back to the Utopia?"
"Wife, we are thinking alike. There are few people there, and it is remote. I heard that the village chief only goes to meetings once every few months. People from the commune never go to their village. Do you think such a good place is suitable for our needs?"
"Yes, from now on we can transport the things in the mountains to their village, and put the things outside there. We can also raise chickens and pigs in their village, fence off the mountain and let them roam freely. As long as there are no wolves or other animals around, we can have them send people to watch over them during the day and patrol to make sure the pigs and chickens don't run away."
"Okay, they live off the mountain. They are so poor, not because there is nothing to eat in the mountains, but because they have something to sell. I heard from Hongwu that there are so many mushrooms in the mountains that they rot because they can't finish eating them. Oh, that man's name is Hongwu."
"Yes, that woman's name is Yu Rui, and she said the same thing. They also dried the fruits and sold them outside, but they sold them to the purchasing station. They didn't make much money, and it was time-consuming and laborious. After the money from the sale, there was less than two dollars left for the hotel, and they also had to prepare dry food. There was not enough food at home, and walking back and forth made them very hungry. In short, after all the calculations, there was still no money to be made, so the people in their village did not go out to sell, and just dried the fruits and kept them for themselves."
"Hongwu said that the crops grown on the mountain there are very little, unlike the high yields in the villages outside. They take all the game out of the mountain and sell it for food. If I had known earlier, I would have asked Liu Bing to go to the mountain to buy it. A lot of mushrooms and wild animals were wasted."
"What kind of prey do they hunt? If there are wolves, you can't raise pigs and chickens."
"No, they are just small animals like rabbits and pheasants."
"Then let's go back and see what kind of character those people have?"
"I heard from Hongwu that they seem to be from the same clan. They fled there during the Ming Dynasty and settled there. It sounds pretty good. Their village chief is their clan leader. Don't worry, I'll ask Liu Bing to make a secret visit first, and I'll call him later."
"Husband, you said there are thieves in the hospital. Doesn't the hospital do anything? People go to the hospital to see a doctor. The money is life-saving money. They don't steal money. They kill people indirectly." Yi Ke couldn't help but bring up the theft in the hospital.
"The hospital should have some control, but it's true that it can't do it. With so many people, it's hard to tell who are the patients and who are the thieves. Besides, those people are not police officers, so how can they tell who is the patient and who is the thief. Moreover, I suspect this is a group of thieves."
"How do you know?"
"Didn't Yu Rui say that a group of people pushed past her? Normally, no matter how crowded the hospital is, a group of people wouldn't push past her at the same time. They were all patients. Even if there were caregivers, there would be at most two or three. They wouldn't push past her at the same time, and she was carrying a child on her back."
"Those people are so despicable. They stole it after seeing the target clearly."
"Yes, they are obviously from the countryside and need to be hospitalized. People like them would carry a lot of money on them. They are also easy to steal and would not report to the police if they stole something."
"Those people deserve to die even more. They knew that the other person was poor and had sold everything they had to see a doctor, and they even stole the money for the treatment. There is no difference between these people and the human traffickers. They all deserve to be killed. No, we can't let them continue to harm others like this."
"So what do you want to do?"
"Catch them and let them have a taste of my bone-breaking and tendon-splitting hands first, then break their hands that steal money. I'll break whichever hand they use to steal money."
"How many people can you fold by yourself? Besides, these people won't stand there and wait for you to fold them. But if you want to fold them, I will help you." Ziyi said lovingly.
