FID – Chapter 369

Concurrently, the Xiapo Village was extremely restless.

After the snowstorm, there were recurring attacks of typhoid fever, and a villager finally had an emotional outburst.

In front of An Cai’s courtyard sounded a mournful and bitter crying.

“Village Chief, please save my son! He’s dying! Please let us go to Xinghua Village and ask for the Little Divine Doctor. There’s no need for your appearance. We’ll go by ourselves. We’ll beg ourselves!” A disheveled woman knelt on the ground, looking like a madwoman. She was carrying a three to four-year-old child in her arms with face burning red. Her eyes were tightly closed while laboriously breathing.

“Village Chief, let us go, please! Our child can barely breathe. She’s going to burn out!”

An Cai stood at the door of the hall with his hands behind his back, looking grimly at the two people kneeling on the ground.

Villagers also surrounded the doorway to watch. Seeing the child’s appearance, they wanted to speak but dared not say a word.

Village Chief An Cai had absolute authority in their village, and few people dared to disobey him.

“Those drugs are useless, and our child isn’t getting better after taking them! My child is dying. She’s dying! Why are you forbidding us to find someone to save him?! I won’t live if my baby dies!” The woman cried and stared at An Cai with red eyes. Her voice was full of resentment and despair.

In the crowd, someone finally spoke up, “Village Chief, our child at home has also been feverish at home, and it hasn’t receded. If we’re going to ignore it, he’s going to die from the fever. If you don’t want to go to Xinghua Village, we’ll go ourselves, can we? We’ll go and fetch the medicine ourselves!”

“Oh no! The baby can’t make it. She’s convulsing!” No sooner had the words fallen than someone next to him shrieked.

The crowd immediately stared at the little baby in the woman’s arms. They only saw the baby’s limbs beginning to twitch. Her eyeballs rolled upward until only the white was left, then she stiffened. Her red little face quickly flushed purple!

“Ah! Ahhh!——” The woman clutched her baby, screaming with fear and despair. She has entirely gone crazy!

Liu Jinfu was greeted with this scene when he arrived.

The entrance to An Cai’s house was crowded with people. Everyone was panicking, and the courtyard was extremely noisy. A woman was crying frantically, hysterical, as if she’s gone mad.

“Go, I will personally beg!” An Cai gritted his teeth and finally gave in. He stepped forward to carry the little child, but the woman forcibly pushed him away.

“Don’t touch my baby. Don’t touch my child! Get out of here! Get away!” She was in a state of madness, as if she had lost her soul.

“What’s going on? Get out of the way!” Liu Jinfu immediately pushed his way in, and the Xiapo Villagers, who had been following him since he entered the village, came forward to help him separate the crowd.

The Xiapo villagers who were blocking the entrance turned around and saw Liu Jinfu. All of them froze.

In the courtyard, An Cai also saw him, and consternation surfaced on his dark face.

Liu Jinfu couldn’t be bothered to look at his old face. He first looked at the baby in the woman’s arms, which had the appearance of someone suffering from a severe fever. Her little face turned purple, and she was already running out of breath.

If the child couldn’t breathe, she’d die anytime soon!

Liu Jinfu ran forward and reprimanded, “What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and save her! Quickly, go to Xinghua Village and find Nannan!”

He stuffed the big medicine bag in his hand to An Cai and said, “This is a typhoid medicine. Boil it into concoctions and divide it. Come, hug the baby and follow me!”

This was a little one’s life. There was no time to lose!

After recovering from their shock, a villager immediately rushed forward after hearing Liu Jinfu’s words and grabbed the child from the mad woman’s hand and ran outside.

The people who were blocking the entrance of An Cai’s house followed, and the young and middle-aged men who were fast on the road took turns to carry the child.

Liu Jinfu’s speed did not lose the slightest to these people, and he ran by their side to command. He didn’t even take a few breaths all the way.

Almost everyone left at once, and An Cai was left clutching the medicine bag in his arms in a daze.

“Husband, give me the medicine. I’ll go boil it. Many old people and children in the village are waiting to be saved!” In front of An Cai, his wife who usually didn’t dare to speak too loudly, plucked her courage from somewhere and said. Without waiting for his consent, she grabbed the medicine bag from him and ran into the kitchen.

“Auntie, let’s help you do the work. Boil it at once and divide the medicine quickly!” Several women who were still lingering at the door ran in.

This time, no one bothered to count who did more and who did less.

That scene just now really scared them. They watched the child convulse like that, burning out of breath…When they thought back, they were still deeply stuffed and panicked. Who didn’t have a child in their family? All of them were also infected with typhoid fever, either lightly or severely.

If they didn’t boil the medicine early and drink it, there was no telling who would go crazy next for their child!

At this time, no one doubted whether the effect of the medicine was immediate.

The medicine brought by the Xinghua Village chief must have been given by the Little Divine Doctor, and her medicine was definitely effective.

Even the women themselves did not notice that they were exceedingly trusting of the Little Divine Doctor’s medical skills.

“Husband, where are you going?” For the first time in An Cai’s wife’s life, she was so bold in front of her husband. After entering the kitchen, she kept peeking outside. When she saw An Cai heading outside, she subconsciously asked.

An Cai did not say a word and walked away.

In the Liu family courtyard, Grandma Liu and her two daughters-in-law just entered the kitchen to prepare lunch when she heard a noise outside. The ruckus was getting closer and closer, and the footsteps were hurried, so they quickly stretched their necks to see.

The first to appear was a man around his 30’s or 40’s. Despite the cold day, he was sweating all over, holding a child in his arms. The child’s arms were hanging down softly, and her head was also tilted back, shaking along with the man’s movements. Her entire little face was purple!

“My God!” Grandma Liu’s heart immediately jumped heavily. She immediately shouted toward the opposite small consultation, “Nannan, Nannan! Quickly, help!”

Even if she knew nothing about medicine, the appearance of the baby alone was enough to tell her that she was dying!

Chen Xiulan and Du Juan also abandoned the work in hand. The man was followed by a group of gasping people, with the Chief Liu Jinfu also among them.

“Village Chief, what’s going on?” Chen Xiulan ran forward and asked anxiously.

Liu Jinfu took a breath and waved his hand, “The child is having a high fever. Wait, I have to go and watch.”

“No, don’t squeeze in, Village Chief. Nannan needs peace and quiet when treating someone. Too many people will only disturb her. Wait in the main room for now. Don’t worry. Nannan will try her best,” Chen Xiulan calmed the people down, took them to the main room with Du Juan, and then went to the small clinic with Du Juan.

In the hall, Grandpa Liu, his two sons and Liu Zhiqiu were warming themselves by the fire. They looked at the people crowding into the room, and then at Liu Jinfu. They were all gasping for breath.

Many of these people were new faces, but there were also barely familiar ones.

Weren’t they Xiapo villagers?

Their brains processed everything, and they addressed the man who arrived first and carried the baby, “Take a seat everyone and take a breath.”

Liu Jinfu took the lead in pulling a stool. He sat a little away from the fireplace. He had just run so far and was covered in sweat. He felt hot.
