Chapter 68
He looked at the child in shock and couldn't even move his eyes, "This..."
"Mom, this is the child we picked up on the road. He is sick. Let me take a look at him first." Su Wan said as she and Gu Yuan took the child into their house.
Mrs. Chen looked at the backs of Su Wan and Gu Yuan as they carried the children into the house, then turned to look at Gu Erniu and Gu Sanniu, "What on earth is going on? Why did you pick up a child and come back?"
Gu Erniu, Gu Sanniu, you told me what happened on the road, sentence by sentence.
Mrs. Chen sighed but didn't say anything.
It is indeed difficult for every family to make money this year, but their family first got 150 taels of silver from selling ginseng, bought a lot of grain for storage, and also hunted a big wild boar, which was better than previous years.
Better off.
With one more mouth, a three-year-old child wouldn't be able to eat them to pieces.
After Su Wan entered the house and carefully examined the child, she discovered that the child had not only suffered from heatstroke, but had also traveled a long way. His clothes were torn and torn by branches, exposing the tender skin and flesh inside.
A series of wounds.
Although the wounds were not large, many were red, swollen and inflamed, and some were suppurating.
After Gu Yuan left the room, Su Wan first hung up the infusion bottle for the child, and then cleaned his wounds one by one.
After cleaning the wounds on the child, she took out the thermometer from the space and clamped it under the armpit of the still unconscious child.
Seeing that the first bottle of liquid had bottomed out, she changed it to another bottle.
Then I took out the thermometer under the child's arm and looked at it. It was 39.5 degrees. A fever to this temperature would definitely be fatal in ancient times!
Su Wan took off all the clothes on the child, took out alcohol and cotton swabs, and wiped the child's armpits, carotid arteries and inner thighs to reduce the fever.
After struggling until mid-afternoon, the child's fever finally subsided.
Su Wan collected the medical waste she had used and walked out of the room. She heard her second sister-in-law Peng complaining to Gu Erniu who was chopping firewood with an ax in the yard, "What do you mean by the fourth couple?
You thought your family was not poor enough and had too much food, so you even picked up a child?
It’s just that they have bad intentions. There are so many refugees outside now. Do they want to meddle in this business? Can they handle it?”
Gu Erniu was annoyed by Peng's recitation and couldn't help but said: "Please stop saying a few words. How much can this child eat?"
When Mrs. Peng heard this, she quit even more, "What do you mean a child can't eat much? Look at An An, she eats no less than me every day. A half-grown child will eat me to death, do you understand!"
Su Wan was about to go out when suddenly there was a "crash" and a basin of water was poured from the door of the kitchen in front of Mrs. Peng in the yard.
Mrs. Peng was startled, and looked up at Mr. Wan who was splashing water. She stamped her feet angrily and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? You don't even look at me when you splash water?"
And water is expensive now, are you the one who splashed it like this? It was used to water the potatoes in the garden!"
Wan looked at Peng with her small eyes, "I just threw it at you on purpose!"
As soon as Wanshi said these words, Pengshi suddenly became angry: "Sister-in-law, you..."
"Me? What am I?!" Wan held a wooden basin in one hand and put her other hand on her hip, glaring fiercely at Peng, "What happened to Wanya who picked up a child when she came back? Did he eat your food?"
Don’t forget, the food you eat every day was bought by Wanya with money, and the pork you eat is hunted by Wanya from the mountain, what? Wanya picks up a child and comes back, can he eat more than you?
"
Peng was good at making small calculations, but his words were not as sharp as Wan's. Wan was so angry that he couldn't utter a single word.
Su Wan also walked out, looking at Peng with a pair of clear black and white deer eyes without any warmth, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, since A Yuan and I brought this child back, we can feed him.
"
