Chapter 276 Picked up a child (please subscribe and vote monthly)

I thought that I would just pass by those people and there would be no contact with them in the future.

As a result, after walking only two or three miles, a woman's body and an abandoned baby were found on the side of the road!
This was not what Chou Chou and Qing Yan discovered with their spiritual consciousness, but what the two father and son in front saw. They stopped the carriage and Fang Dayou walked over. Only then did Qing Yan notice the situation on the roadside.

Her previous consciousness was focused on those people and she didn't look forward at all.

Qingyan also stopped the car and walked over. She looked at the female corpse lying on the ground. She looked to be in her teens or 20s. She was very young and thin. The body was already stiff. She must have been dead for a while.

The clothes on her body were similar to those of the exiles, but even thinner. Not far from her, there was a tightly wrapped baby. The wrapping should be her coat. It looked like it should be her child.

The child looked to be only three or four months old. It was probably because he was exiled shortly after giving birth and his body was not well taken care of. In addition, the cold weather gave the child clothes, so he died of the cold.

The child was not dead, but he was quite weak. His little face was no bigger than a palm and was purple from the cold. He cried like a kitten and was almost too weak.

Fang Dayou knelt down and picked up the child. He touched the child's forehead with one hand, turned to Qingyan, and said to her with some embarrassment on his face: "I wonder if the girl has candy or rice. It seems that the child can still be saved. If the girl has any, sell me some, and I'll try to see if I can save them.

It's fate that we met him. If he survives, I will take this child back. My eldest brother and sister-in-law have been married for many years and have no children, so I can just take him under my knees. "

Qingyan thought for a while, then stretched out her hand to him and said: "In that case, I will help you take care of it first. I have a charcoal stove in my car. I can make rice soup directly. It will also keep it warm. I will give it to you after the child recovers." .”

Hearing this, Fang Dayou said with a grateful face: "Then I'll help you, girl. It's definitely not convenient for a girl to take care of her children. How about I come and help her drive the bus? My father is in our car."

Qingyan smiled and shook her head and refused: "That's not necessary. Just go ahead with your car. My horse is very smart and will follow your car forward on its own."

Fang Dayou bowed to her and said, "Thank you so much, girl."

Qingyan didn't waste any more time, nodded to him and went back to the car with her child in her arms.

After entering the carriage, I closed the door and opened the tattered clothes the child was wrapped in. I found that the child was almost skinny and bones. He was no longer crying. His eyes were closed tightly. If it weren't for the heaving and heaving in his chest, he would have thought he had died. .

This is a boy. I don’t know if the child’s other relatives are gone, or he feels that he can’t live without his biological mother, so he just threw him on the roadside. If he hadn’t met them, he would really have died.

She took away the torn but still thick clothes, looked at them and saw that there was nothing left for the child, so she was ready to throw them away, but she couldn't help it, it was too dirty.

Let Chou Chou take out a piece of fine cotton cloth and tear it into small pieces with his bare hands to use as a diaper.

She put a diaper on the child, wrapped her body in a layer of cotton, and wrapped it with a layer of her thick cotton jacket.

This one is relatively soft. If you use sheepskin, it is too hard and will easily fall apart if it cannot be wrapped. Even if it is tied with a strip of cloth, it will be stuck and the bag will not be tightly wrapped.

After getting these done, Chou Chou has already warmed up the milk.

It was the goat milk they had saved before, which was squeezed from the goat they caught for Yuan Bao. After Yuan Bao was weaned, they saved it.

In fact, there is more milk in the space. Chou Chou gets it from the Xiangxiang space. It is sterilized and packed in bottles. You can drink it directly.

But she remembered hearing her mother say that goat milk is better absorbed than cow milk, more suitable for children, and less prone to diarrhea after drinking it.

However, there are also disadvantages. If you only drink goat milk, you will easily become anemic, so you need to supplement it with other nutrients.

There is milk, but there is no bottle or pacifier.

There was a straw, but she felt that the child probably didn't have the strength.

After thinking about it, he asked Chou Chou to bring out a spoon. It was a wooden spoon that he bought before. This should be usable.

Qingyan picked up the child and straightened his upper body a little, then took half a spoonful of it and put it near the child's mouth.

The child seemed to know that this was food, so he opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue.

Qingyan quickly fed the milk from the spoon into his mouth, and the child immediately wrapped his lips around the spoon and kept sucking.

Seeing this, Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief and just went back to eating it by herself. She was afraid that the child wouldn't even have the strength to swallow, so there was nothing she could do.

After feeding more than half a bowl of goat's milk, she followed what she saw on TV and burped the baby, but she didn't hear him burping for a while. Could it be that babies over three months old don't need to be burped?

With a puzzled look on his face, he laid the child down in his arms and saw that he had opened his eyes. His eyes were dark and pretty.

Just as she was about to smile at the child, she saw him yawn widely, squeak, then close his eyes and fall asleep.

Qingyan: "..."

He curled his lips and softly asked Chou Chou to take out two quilts, make a nest, and put the child in it. Yuan Bao immediately ran up to the child and looked at him curiously.

"Yuanbao, please keep an eye on him, but don't wake him up. I'll go outside for a while."

Yuan Bao nodded to her, indicating that he knew.

Qingyan took out some rice and millet from the storage bag and put it aside. Then she put the casserole with water and rice on the stove, always making a show of it.

Then they went out and found that the bullock carts had overtaken them, and they were the only two carriages left on the spot.

The two father and son were digging soil beside the road. It was freezing and they had no tools at hand. After digging for a while, they only dug [-] centimeters deep.

From the looks of it, he must be trying to restrain the woman's body. She looked at the tattered clothes in her hand, walked over and covered the woman with the clothes.

When the father and son saw her coming, they kept moving their hands and asked: "Girl, how is the child?"

Qingyan said with a smile: "I fed him some sugar water and he has fallen asleep. There should be no problem. However, if you arrive in the county, it is best to go to a medical clinic. The child is very thin and I don't know how to take care of him. "

The two father and son breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Fang Zhengyi said: "If you can eat and sleep, there shouldn't be much of a problem. It's really hard, girl, and it will take some time. We are going to bury the child's mother and let her rest in peace."

Qingyan waved her hand, "Uncle Fang, you don't have to be so polite. We are helping each other, and I will help you dig faster." The two father and son said quickly: "No, no, the girl went to the car to rest and look at the child. Okay, just the two of us will do it."

Qingyan did not argue with them, turned around and returned to the carriage, used the box at the back as a cover, took out a pointed hat and walked back.

When the two father and son saw Jian Tou Gao, their eyes lit up. This one was the best for digging into frozen soil.

Fang Dayou stretched out his hand to take it, but Qingyan dodged it. She started digging directly on the ground, loosening the soil in a few strokes.

The two father and son were dumbfounded. This...is this too much strength?They felt that if the pointed head hadn't been made of wood, she might have been able to exert more force.

They were right. Qingyan was holding back her strength. If she tried her best, the steel pipe would break.

With Qingyan joining in, the speed was indeed much faster. In less than an hour, a grave was dug, the body was put in, filled with soil, a small grave bag was made, and a circle was surrounding it. Circle the stones so that when someone sees it, they will know it is a grave.

The temperature seemed to be a bit higher under the sun today, and all three of them were sweating a little after finishing.

It happened to be noon at this time, Qingyan said: "I've cooked a pot of porridge on the charcoal stove. Let's eat some before going on the road."

Both father and son were a little embarrassed, but they still agreed.

Qingyan patted the ashes on her body, rubbed it with the snow on the ground and then washed her hands. She took out the casserole from the carriage and left half a bowl for the child. The others filled a large bowl and took out the ones they had made before. The mushroom sauce and pickles are very fragrant with the thick rice porridge.

The father and son each held a bowl of porridge, and the three of them stood beside the carriage in the leeward direction, eating loudly.

Qingyan's informal appearance immediately made their restraint disappear, and the two of them started talking more.

He also revealed his identity and admitted that he knew Qingyan.

Qingyan smiled and said: "I have guessed it a long time ago. You have the temperament of a soldier. You can tell at a glance that you are from the military camp. At first, I thought I had met a good person, but later I saw that you seemed to be quite familiar with me. Yes, I guessed it might be someone from the Li family.

I stayed with my cousin for a while and often walked around Qinzhou City. It was normal for me to be recognized. "

Fang Zhengyi said with admiration: "Miss Yang is indeed a person who has traveled all over the world. She is so sharp that she can see it right away.

We were thinking of secretly escorting the girl to Yunzhou, and then we would check to see if there were any colleagues who went to Youzhou, so that they could pay attention.

It's better to make a clear decision now, and we can take better care of you on the road. However, we were supposed to take care of you, Miss Yang, but now it's the other way around. We still need the girl to help us take care of our children. It's really shameful. "

Qingyan waved her hand, "Oh~ Uncle Fang, you are out of sight now, and we will be traveling together for a while later. We must take care of each other.

By the way, do you still want to go to Qinzhou from Yunzhou?How do you take the child back with you when you go back? "

After all, their carriage is not like hers. It has a stove, space and storage bags. If they take the child back like this, it will not matter whether the child can survive to Qinzhou.

Fang Zhengyi replied: "That's not true. My eldest son is under the command of the Yunzhou garrison general. I just happened to send the child to him this time. He is 30 years old and has always been empty. This time he has a queen."

Qingyan nodded, that's okay. She fed her goat milk and juice along the way, so she might be a little fatter and better able to feed herself when we get to Yunzhou.

At this time, I heard the child's cry coming from the carriage. The sound was much louder than before. It seemed that he had eaten something and slept again, regaining some strength.

Qingyan quickly walked around to the front and climbed into the carriage. When she opened the carriage door, she saw the child grinning and howling.

Qingyan twitched the corner of her mouth. It was a sign of excitement, not discomfort.

But she still closed the door and looked at his diaper, and sure enough, it was not wet.

She originally wanted to pick up the baby and give her some water, but then she remembered that her mother seemed to have said that some children like to be peed on and will not pee in diapers.

So Chou Chou asked Chou Chou to take out a chamber pot, (don't ask why there is this thing, just ask because he collected too many things and collected everything.) He put the little penis into the mouth of the chamber pot and started to whistle.

Then there was a swishing sound, "Hey! You are quite particular about this little guy. If this happens, wouldn't those diapers be in vain? Forget it, they can be used as rags by then."

After peeing, he wrapped the child again, fed him half a bowl of milk and some warm juice, and then went out with the chamber pot to empty it out.

The Fang family father and son originally wanted to ask what happened to their child, but when they saw what she was carrying, they looked embarrassed and forgot what they wanted to say.

How could Miss Yang, a little girl, carry this?

Qingyan didn't realize it. After pouring the urine, she washed it with snow and put it directly in the small basket under the car. She was afraid that it would smell if she put it in the car.

He turned around and saw two people standing there, and said: "It's okay. The child woke up to find someone. He peed and ate some porridge. He was lying down and playing by himself. Do you want to take a look?"

The two father and son looked at each other, and Fang Zhengyi cleared his throat and said, "We won't watch anymore to avoid getting cold air in the carriage."

Qingyan nodded, "Okay, let's get on the road now. My cat is watching the child in the carriage, and I will go in and take a look from time to time."

The two father and son also nodded and returned to their carriages. The two carriages were on the road again, and Qingyan spent more time in the carriage.

The child fell asleep again after eating and drinking, and Qingyan lay beside him and slept with him. It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that they arrived at a county town, Yongfeng County, but they couldn't get in.

After asking the people who were also locked out, I found out that several nearby villages were hit by snowstorms and their houses collapsed. Because the county magistrate did not deal with it in time, many people became homeless.

Many people came to the county town to beg. The county magistrate was afraid that they would cause chaos in the city, so they set a curfew. They were not allowed to enter after ten o'clock in the evening, and they were not allowed to wander on the streets, otherwise they would be jailed.

Qingyan said to the Fang family father and son who were parked side by side, "What should we do now? There seems to be a town on the way here. How about we go back and spend the night there first?"

Fang Zhengyi: "We have been to that town. Because it is close to the county seat, there is no inn in the town, and the people in that town are not very good, and they are very bullying. Outsiders have to pay ten copper coins just to enter, which is more expensive than in the capital."

Qingyan: "There is such a town, and the county magistrate doesn't care about it? It's so close, there's no way he doesn't know about it, right?"

Fang Dayou whispered: "I heard that the mayor is the cousin of the Yongfeng County magistrate. They are all members of the same family. How can they take care of it?"
