Chapter 8

Child?

When Shu Nian heard this, he jumped out of bed, put on his cotton coat and ran out the door. He just happened to see a person holding a child hurriedly running into the yard next door.

The figure holding the child looked familiar.

It was Nie Minglang! He was still wet.

There was a middle-aged woman next to Nie Minglang, and the crying sound came from her mouth.

The woman’s name is Li Mei. The child who fell into the river today is nicknamed Gou’er, and he is the woman’s son.

After the two of them entered the yard, the crowd following them also rushed in.

The quiet courtyard suddenly became noisy.

Looking at the crowd leaving, Shu Nian frowned.

Because she had just wasted time getting dressed, she only saw Nie Minglang’s back as he left with the child in his arms. But judging from the child’s drooping head, the child should not have woken up.

Such a young child fell into the river in such a cold weather, and lost energy while struggling.

She always had a bad feeling.

Thinking of this, she decided to follow and see.

When I entered the courtyard next door, I suddenly heard a lot of noise, everyone was discussing what happened today.

After listening to everyone’s discussions, Shu Nian’s heart sank slightly. Things were exactly as she expected.

The child was rescued by Nie Minglang, but he was already unconscious. Nie Minglang used first aid methods but the child showed no signs of waking up.

Helplessly, everyone rushed the child to the infirmary.

When Dr. Han from the infirmary saw this, he immediately began to examine and treat the child.

As everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they discovered that the child’s hands and feet were frozen blue and purple, and looked extremely horrible.

Although Dr. Han was a skilled doctor, the child had been frozen in the river for too long and eventually did not wake up.

According to Dr. Han, there is little hope that the child will wake up.

These words were like the last straw that broke the camel’s back. Gou’er was Li Mei’s son. He had been in poor health since childhood and had to be carefully raised to grow up.

I didn’t expect this to happen again.

Knowing that there was no hope for the child, everyone took the child back home.

Shu Nian approached the door and stretched his head to look inside.

At this time, the child was lying on the kang, covered with two thick quilts. Although the quilts were tucked in tightly, the child’s face was still pale with a faint blue hue.

It looks dead.

If the end of the world had come before her time, the child might have been saved.

But in this day and age, with underdeveloped medical care, the child’s hope of survival is almost zero. It can be said that he has been sentenced to death.

But Shu Nian has the ability of wood, and she can feel that there are four life fluctuations in the room.

One of them is extremely powerful, and should come from Nie Minglang.

The other two relatively weaker fluctuations came from Li Mei and Zhao Gang.

The other weakest one, which is even decreasing, should come from Li Mei’s son, Goudan!

Although after she entered this body, her abilities, which were once close to the maximum level, have returned to their original state, and her mental strength is not as strong as in her previous life.

But she was confident that as long as she was given enough time, she would definitely be able to pull the child back from the hands of death.

only……

Shu Nian bit her lip. She had to find a way to make these people believe that she had medical skills.

Moreover, her special ability must not be exposed, so she had to find a suitable method…

The child’s vitality is now slipping away. Shu Nian is anxious and thinks of a solution quickly in his mind.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind. She quickly turned around, walked around the crowd, and returned to her own yard. She opened the door, went into the kitchen, and fiddled with it for a long time.

When he came out, he had a black, irregularly shaped meatball in his hand.

She put the meatball to her nose and smelled it. After making sure there was no strange smell, she quickly closed the door and ran to Li Mei’s house in a hurry.

When she arrived at Li Mei’s house, she walked straight up to Nie Minglang and tugged at the hem of his clothes.

Nie Minglang turned around and saw that it was Shu Nian. He frowned subconsciously and was about to scold him when Shu Nian quickly raised the meatball and brought it in front of him.

Then he whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

“This was given to me by an old doctor in our village. After taking it, even if a person is only on his last breath, it can barely keep him alive. Hurry up and feed it to Gousheng.”

After saying this, she looked at Nie Minglang eagerly.

The pill was only the size of the little finger nail, lying quietly in the palm of Shu Nian’s hand.

The reason why she spoke so quietly was that she was afraid of being heard by others. The original owner was only concerned with dressing up every day and said that she had medicine that could cure diseases and save lives, which sounded unreliable.

If those people in the yard heard it, they would definitely object strongly.

Although she felt that Nie Minglang might not reply, she still wanted to give it a try.

Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. She doesn’t want to watch such a small life pass away like this!

Meeting Shu Nian’s expectant gaze, Nie Minglang frowned even more tightly. He stared at the black ball with disgust evident in his expression.

He knew best what kind of person Shu Nian was. She was selfish and never thought about others. How could she be so kind as to give him the life-saving medicine?

If such medicine really existed, she would hide it very carefully and not let anyone get their hands on it.

He shouted, “Shu Nian, what are you trying to do again!”

“Shh! Keep your voice down!”

As soon as Nie Minglang finished speaking, Shu Nian immediately nervously put his finger to his lips and made a gesture to keep quiet.

She glanced around and saw that everyone’s eyes were on the child and no one was paying attention to her, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

After thinking for a while, she picked up the meatball, broke it into two halves, put one half into her mouth, and swallowed it with a “gulp”.

Then she opened her mouth and showed it to Nie Minglang.

“Look, I’ve already taken half of it. If there’s really something wrong with this medicine, would I dare to take it?

Doctor Han also said that the child was unlikely to wake up. In that case, why not try my medicine? No matter how bad I am, I will never joke with a child’s life. “

At the end, Shu Nian’s tone became hurried.

She could feel that the child’s vitality was getting weaker and weaker. Judging from the current situation, the child could not last more than half an hour.

If she is not treated, even the immortals may not be able to help.

Nie Minglang pursed his lips, his eyes fixed on Shu Nian’s face, as if trying to find some flaws in it.

But he failed.

There was only eagerness and begging in Shu Nian’s eyes, and he even saw compassion and desire for life in them.

This made him stunned. The expression on Shu Nian’s face at that moment was something he had never seen on the other person’s face before.

At this moment, the crying sound in the inner room suddenly intensified.

Li Mei’s frightened cries reached everyone’s ears.

“Dog, don’t scare me. If you leave, I won’t live anymore!”

Nie Minglang was startled and rushed in, only to see Li Mei and Zhao Gang both crying. Not only were the children’s faces blue, but even their lips had turned black as if they were poisoned.

The look of death had spread all over the child’s face.

Li Mei threw herself on the child, crying inconsolably. She was so frightened that her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Wu Gang beside him saw this and hurriedly helped Li Mei lie down on the kang.

Now, one patient becomes two!

The atmosphere became heavier.

Zhao Gang’s eyes were red, and tears were streaming down his face. He was a tall and strong man, but when he saw Nie Minglang coming in, his lips trembled, and he shivered for a long time before he could only shout out one sentence.
