The road to the commune hospital was covered with ice and snow. Xiaolan had no trouble pulling up the sledge at first, but when she arrived at Donghetao, something happened.

Xiaolizitun is not far from the Mingde Commune Health Center. It is only a few miles away. There is a river in the middle. The water in the river has long been frozen solid. However, there is a big gap between the two sides of the river and the river bed, which makes it difficult for Xiaolan, who is small and weak.

A problem arises.

There are traction ropes on both sides of the sledge pulled by Xiaolan. The rope is passed through the back of the neck and then passed through both ribs. This way, both shoulders can be used to exert force, and the pulling is not difficult.

But when it comes to a very steep downhill slope, I can only turn the sledge around, put the rope around my waist, and use myself as a brake to make the sledge go down little by little.

Because Xiaolan was walking in a hurry, the shoes on her feet were not very slippery. In addition, she was small and light, so it was better just going down the slope. However, as the slope increased, the speed of the sledge increased, and Xiaolan could not stand at all.

Steady feet, she couldn't control the speed of the sledge and was brought to the ground by the sledge!

Xiaolan was brought down by the sledge. She was worried about the safety of her fourth child and refused to throw away the rope. She held on to the rope with both hands. As a result, her whole body was flat on the road. She was carried by the sledge, causing snowflakes to splash everywhere, and she quickly rushed into the ice of the river.

Go up, rush across the river, and rush uphill to the river.

The sledge rushed for a while, the inertia disappeared, and it started to go backwards. Finally, it hit Xiaolan, the sledge rolled over, and rolled into the river bed together with the fourth child.

Xiaolan was hit on the head and immediately developed a big green bump. Fortunately, she was wearing a thick cotton jacket and trousers, and everything else was fine. Even so, Xiaolan was frightened and bumped, and it took a while to recover.

Come.

Xiaolan spent a lot of effort to get Zhao Laosi back on the sledge. Looking at Lao Si's closed eyes, she felt anxious and secretly cried. Regardless of her injuries, she pulled up the sledge and continued on the road.

But when it came to a big uphill slope, Xiaolan couldn't pull the sledge up even more. When she reached the place with a steep slope, her weight and strength couldn't pull the sledge and the fourth child at all. She fell down several times and returned to the starting point several times.

Lan was exhausted from the torture and her lips were bitten.

Xiaolan really wanted to throw down the sledge and burst into tears. But she couldn't. She had to be independent and able to face difficulties alone. She had to swallow it even if her teeth were broken!

Xiaolan found two pointed stones, then knelt on the ground and climbed up. Whenever the sledge had a downward tendency, she would dig the stones into the snow and climb up bit by bit.

Just after the Spring Festival, it was still the extremely cold season when the breath turned to ice. The cold wind blew, biting the bone. Xiaolan used all her strength, but sweat actually appeared on her face, and ice quickly formed on her face. And her hands

Because he needed to pick up the stone, he had to take off his thick gloves. As a result, he was turned red from the cold and almost lost consciousness.

When Xiaolan arrived at the commune hospital after all the hard work, the result almost drove her crazy. Because of the Spring Festival holiday, the hospital only had an older doctor, Dr. Ma, on duty, and Dr. Ma was drunk and sleeping.

"Doctor Ma, Dr. Ma, wake up quickly!" Xiaolan shouted with a cry.

Dr. Ma was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by Xiaolan. He felt very unhappy, but when he saw that the person coming was Xiaolan, his anger was half gone.

"Hey, why is it you kid? What's going on? Does your father have any letter? We have been friends for many years, and we just left without even saying hello to me!..." Ma

The doctor is very verbose.

"Doctor Ma, let's not talk about my father for now. Please help me quickly to find out what disease my fourth brother has. He hasn't eaten or drank for a day, and his hands are still burning!" Xiaolan quickly stopped Doctor Ma.

Doctor Ma and Xiao Lan quickly got Zhao Laosi to the examination bed, picked up the stethoscope and listened left and right, and finally showed an embarrassed expression and said apologetically:

"Lan, you think it's okay for me to treat a trauma, but I can't see the situation of the fourth child! But I guess he must have had a bad cold. Judging from his symptoms, he probably has pneumonia now. You have to go to the county.

Hospital! But there are no big customers going to the county today. If that doesn’t work, I’ll prescribe some medicine for you. You can go to the county hospital early tomorrow morning!”

"Is it okay for fourth brother to stay at home all night?" Xiaolan asked.

"Oh, it's hard to say, I can't guarantee it for you!" Doctor Ma was not sure.

"Okay, you prescribe me some medicine and let the fourth brother take it first, and then I will find a way to go to the county hospital!" Xiaolan calmed down.

Doctor Ma helped Xiaolan give Zhao Laosi some medicine, and also brought Xiaolan a box of frostbite ointment. Xiaolan didn't have time to thank her, so she pulled the sledge out of the hospital and prepared to pull the sledge to Xideng County.

As soon as I walked out of the hospital gate, on a narrow road, I happened to meet Miao Da and Miao Xiaotao, who were passing by after returning from the brigade headquarters!

When Xiao Tao saw Xiao Lan, he was about to say something rude, but Miao Da gave him a sharp look and suppressed his words. Miao Da looked at Xiao Lan who was in a hurry and said enthusiastically: "Lan, please hold me.

What are you going to do?"

Xiaolan didn't say a word and continued to pull the sledge forward. Zhang Xiuzhen saw that Xiaolan ignored her, but because she had Xiaotao to rely on, she immediately cursed: "Someone raises a piece of shit with no education, and there is no politeness at all! It looks like this

This is dragging a fool to elope!"

Xiaolan was so confused and anxious that she had no time to argue and fight with her, so she walked forward with her head down. Miao Da glared at his daughter-in-law again, walked two steps quickly, and said after walking side by side with Xiaolan:

"Don't be like these two cowards. If they mess with you again in the future, tell me and I'll discount them. Tell me, what are you doing? Do you need me to help you?"

Miao Da's words surprised Xiao Lan. She did not expect that Miao Da Da would say such warm words to her. Under the pressure, Xiao Lan had no time to think. The most vulnerable part of her emotions was touched. She immediately burst into tears and choked with tears.

said:

"My fourth brother has some unknown disease. He doesn't eat or drink and has a severe fever. I'll take him to the county hospital for treatment!"

Miao Da rolled his one eye and said immediately: "Look at you kid, why don't you use your brain when doing things? Xiden is more than fifty miles away from us, and the road is not easy to walk. You are holding the fourth child, and there is no fifth child.

It took six hours to arrive. I see that the fourth child is usually in good health, so I analyzed that he has a virtual illness and not a real illness!"

"What is a weak disease?" Xiaolan went to the doctor randomly when she was sick, and she actually believed Miao Da.

"It's just something unclean! Old Pengtou from Yujiadian is the best at treating this disease, and it's still close to us. But I'm just saying, I can't be sure. You have to make your own decision about where to go.

! I'll leave first if I have something else to do. If you need anything in the future, you can come find me! The roads are slippery, so be careful on the road!" After Miao Da finished speaking, he quickened his pace and left without waiting for Xiaolan to react.

Xiao Tao caught up with Miao Da and asked in a low voice: "Dad, what's wrong with you? Why are you helping her with ideas?"
