An Hao's voice was very weak. An Yunrui hugged him quickly and warmed him with his body temperature: "Be good, fourth uncle is here."
An Hao snorted and fell asleep again. An Yunrui took out the dry and hard cake in his arms and ate it bite by bite. Because there was no water, he had to chew for a long time before he could swallow it for fear of choking.
He looked up at the cloudy sky. It had been sunny for a few days and it seemed like it was going to rain again. Tomorrow was the first day of October, and winter was about to begin.
It has been four months since the June Palace Change.
Time flies so fast, four months should be enough time for a person to lick his wounds.
An Shuyao cut the pig ears and started frying the lard. The suet she bought was cut into square pieces, which looked white and smooth. She threw them all into the pot, added some Lingquan water, and waited for the oil to boil slowly.
Until the courtyard door rang again, An Shuyao reflexively walked out. Someone outside shouted: "Is this Miss An's home? I'm here to deliver soybeans."
It turned out that he was delivering beans. An Shuyao felt relieved and went to open the door.
Lu Jin didn't know where he went. Liu Yuxue went to the back to water the vegetables. An Shuyao watched the soybean delivery person carry a large bag into her yard, which also included the bamboo sieve and large gauze she bought, as well as thick
Two bedding beds.
One of the beddings was prepared for Liu Yuxue, and there was no room to put the extra bed. An Shuyao was a little helpless. She bought a lot of things, but she forgot to make a new wooden cabinet and buy a bath bucket.
It is not very convenient to use a basin when taking a bath. It seems that you have to find time to find a carpenter to customize it. There are no carpenters in the surrounding villages, so you can only go to the county.
It was difficult to lift one hundred kilograms of soybeans. An Shuyao spent a lot of effort before lifting them to the door. There was a mill next to the school in the west of the village, which was shared by everyone in the village. However, there were no donkeys, so they had to grind it manually.
An Shuyao looked at her thin white hands and felt distressed. You could ask her to till the land with a hoe or dig, but she really couldn't do such physical work as grinding.
Lu Jin has a sick body. It would be difficult to catch a rabbit on the mountain, let alone pull it.
For a moment, she looked at Huang Dou in trouble.
Lu Jin approached from outside. He was holding a piece of wood as thick as an arm. Seeing An Shuyao standing still, he asked, "What's wrong?"
An Shuyao turned his head and frowned: "I promised to send tofu to Zuixian Pavilion, but I can't pull it, what should I do?"
Lu Jin was silent. He looked at the big bag of soybeans, pursed his thin lips, and finally said: "I'll go..."
"It's just that I've never done it before, so I don't know if I can do it well..."
Lu Jin couldn't believe that one day he would look like a donkey.
An Shuyao couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw that his mouth was saying yes, but his eyes were full of rejection.
"Don't do it, it takes a lot of effort to grind. Your internal injuries are not fully healed. What if you use too much force and break your body? I'd better go ahead and grind it slowly. I can finish it."
Their conversation was all heard by An Yunrui at the door, but now it was not Huangdou's problem at all. He walked in with scarlet eyes and hugged An Hao: "Yao Yao..."
When An Shuyao heard the voice, her smiling face turned cold for a moment: "What are you doing here again? Didn't I make it clear enough at noon?"
An Yunrui looked painful and his eyes were a little moist: "It doesn't matter how much you hate me, but can you save Hao'er? He is still so young, he is only three years old. Can you save him?"
Only then did An Shuyao see An Hao's condition, and at a glance she realized that the child had a high fever, his whole little face was red, and his hands were hanging softly in the air.
An Yunrui had no choice but to think that he would take a nap as usual. When he realized something was wrong with An Hao, his body was as hot as a stove and he was drowsy and mumbling.
He had no money and almost lost An Hao due to negligence on the way here. After finally finding An Hao, all the horses and baggage he brought were taken away.
He was exhausted from walking all the way. If anything went wrong with An Hao, he would not be able to face his elder brother.
Childish gibbering sounded, and he groaned in pain, with tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, looking pitiful.
It is troublesome for a child to get sick. He is still only three years old. If he does not seek medical treatment in time, his brain will probably be burned out even if he does not die.
An Yunrui almost knelt down again: "Yao Yao, all the mistakes are the An family's fault. We are the ones who are sorry for you. Hao'er doesn't know anything. He is looking for you every day..."
The more he listened, the tighter An Shuyao's hand tightened: "That's enough..."
She closed her eyes hard, and when she opened them again, there was a hint of clarity inside: "An Hao, get out of here."
It was impossible for An Shuyao to watch such a young child die. Even if this was no longer her nephew, or if it were another child, she would not save him.
It is a doctor's duty to save lives and heal the wounded. Now that she has seen it, she cannot pretend to turn a blind eye.
She stepped forward and took An Hao from An Yunrui's arms. The child was small, very thin, and weighed little.
Through the thin cloth, she could feel the bones of his back, where they still had the fleshy meatball-like appearance.
An Shuyao hugged the person and entered the room. An Yunrui wanted to say something but closed his mouth.
Seeing him like this, Lu Jin said: "Don't worry, he will be fine."
Although An Yunrui knew that An Shuyao would save An Hao, what was he going to do in the house instead of going to the doctor?
He wanted to ask but was afraid of upsetting An Shuyao, so he could only walk around anxiously in the courtyard.
Lu Jin sat on the chair and whittled the wood with a knife. He had to cut a few wooden nails to nail the door.
Liu Yuxue walked in from the back door carrying a bucket. When she saw the child in An Shuyao's hands, she blinked slightly: "Isn't this your little nephew?"
"Why is he sick?"
An Shuyao touched his forehead with her hand: "Shengjing is far away from Anzhou, and I don't know how they got themselves into this state. It's a good thing that this kid can survive until now."
Liu Yuxue said with a smile: "You said you would never have anything to do with them again, you are just a mouthful and a heartless person."
An Shuyao was silent: "Even if it wasn't him, I would have saved someone else."
"Please help me get some hot water."
It was not possible to boil water, and the oil was still being refined on the stove, so we had to pour it into the hot water kettle. Fortunately, the water boiled in the morning was still warm, so Liu Yuxue brought a basin over.
An Shuyao wiped An Hao's face with a soaked dry towel. After wiping away the dirt on his face, his white and delicate face was revealed. He looked very much like his father, with the same heroic eyebrows.
An Shuyao looked at his dirty outer clothes, reached out and took them off, then took the cloth used to make clothes for Lu Jin and handed it to Liu Yuxue: "I have to trouble you to help me make a child's clothes."
As long as I ask for votes, favorites, and five-star reviews every day, you will give them to me!
