Need for Uncle

Chapter 89

Chapter 88 Saving People
"Your brother? Is he sick?" Ma Xiaoshuai was stunned. He had never heard of Lushang having a younger brother. Maybe it was because he didn't care too much, and the family didn't ask. It seems that he was negligent and felt a little guilty. He beckoned for Lu Chang to come over, and asked, "Come on, tell me, what's wrong with your brother, did you call for a doctor?"

"Please, no, I didn't see you well..." Lu Chang stood with her head lowered, her expression was invisible, and her voice was a little choked.

Ma Xiaoshuai knows that medicine is backward in this world, and he doesn't count on a doctor, "Tell me, what are the symptoms?"

Lu Chang secretly wiped away tears, choked with sobs and said: "I have a fever. I have had a fever for several days. When I left yesterday, I still talked nonsense."

"When did you start to have a fever? Did you catch a cold?"

Lu Chang nodded, "Mother said, she caught a cold, and it's been three or four days."

"Three or four days?" This was no joke, Ma Xiaoshuai frowned and asked, "How old is your brother?"

"Eight years old."

"Eight years old..." It is dangerous for a child to have a fever, because age generally has poor resistance, and he may not be able to survive without good treatment. In addition, he has had a fever for three days so far. The treatment period has passed. Even in the technologically advanced [-]st century, it’s hard to say whether life can be saved, let alone in this world. He stood up, tightened his cuffs, and asked Lvshang, "Where is your home and how long will it take to go there?"

"Yes, it's thirty miles outside the city, and I have to walk for a day." Lu Chang lowered his head and was obviously still worried, and he stopped stuttering.

"Thirty miles, one day's walk, then it will take three or four hours to ride a horse." After thinking for a while, he raised his head and pointed at Zidi, "Zidi, go, tell Ergou to prepare the horse and hurry up." Zidi didn't wait. Agreed, turned to look at Lu Chang with a surprised face, "Lu Chang, put your things down, just wait for me, I'll go get ready, go to your house with you, look at your brother, I know some medical skills." Chi, not daring to delay any longer, didn't explain much to Lv Chang, went back to the room, took out the phone, changed his boots, and came out in a hurry.

Zi Di went to prepare the horse, while Lu Chang was still standing in the yard looking this way with a dazed expression on his face.

"What are you looking at, let's go quickly." Without saying a word, he took Lu Chang and ran out, Zidi and Ergou were waiting outside the gate.

"Er Gou, tell Miss at night that I have to go and see what happened at Lushang's house, and tell her not to worry." Turning on the horse, ignoring Lushang's expression, he hugged him from behind while still on the horse's back, holding While holding the reins, he gave instructions to Er Gou, unexpectedly Zidi would follow her, if she was not in a hurry, she would have to give her two whips, stared at her for no reason, pulled the reins and walked away.

"Gu, uncle..." After running for more than ten miles, Lu Chang finally spoke, with the wind blowing in his ears, and he couldn't hear clearly.

"What?" Ma Xiaoshuai shouted loudly, waving his whip vigorously to drive the horse.

"Thank you, thank you."

"What did you say?" The wind was so strong that I really couldn't hear you clearly, but I didn't ask in detail because it was important to save lives. "I'll talk about it later, hurry up first."

……

After driving fast for four or five hours, I finally felt Lushang's home before dark.

This is a small village located halfway up the mountain. It doesn't have the dilapidated scene of a remote mountain village that Ma Xiaoshuai imagined. The guide quickly arrived at the house, and it can be seen that the Lushang family is usually a good person, the child is dying of illness, many villagers come to visit, and there are many people surrounded in the small yard.

"Give way, let go." He got off the horse with Lu Chang in his arms, squeezed all the way in, and asked Lu Chang, "Where is the person?"

"I don't know, I, first, take a look first." Lu Chang didn't blush when Ma Xiaoshuai grabbed her this time, maybe she didn't care.

Squeezing through the crowd, I got into the house a few times, and I was shocked when I heard crying as soon as I walked in.

"Mother, what's wrong with brother." Lu Chang's expression also changed, and he opened the door and broke in.

Ma Xiaoshuai got in right after him, and saw a relatively clean and tidy room. At this time, there were a few old people sitting in a small place, and an old man with black and white hair was lying on the bed and wailing loudly. It was probably Lushang's mother, And her younger brother was lying on the bed in a comatose state. Lu Chang ran over and didn't bother to say hello to anyone. She staggered and rushed over. Tears welled up in her eyes. She touched her pale face and murmured to her younger brother. .

"Girl... you, why are you back again?" Lushang's mother found her daughter, and when she turned her head, she saw the same haggard face. From the facial features, she could vaguely find the shadow of Lushang, and she could imagine the young girl Shi was also a beautiful girl, "I told... I told you to work hard at the... family in the Prime Minister's country. It's been so... long since I ran back a few days ago. I'm afraid that others will not want you when I go back."

"No, yes, my aunt asked me to bring him here to see my brother." Lu Chang looked at Ma Xiaoshuai with tears on his face and explained.

"Hello, Auntie." Ma Xiaoshuai took two steps forward and saluted the old man
"You...you are?"

Ma Xiaoshuai looked at the unconscious child on the bed, and frowned, "Auntie, let me see my brother first."

The old man was stunned when he heard the words, and turned his inquiring gaze to Lu Chang. Seeing the latter nodding, he quickly got up, "Then take a look, look."

Ma Xiaoshuai arched his hands, pulled away the emotional green clothes, and touched the child's neck. Fortunately, he was still alive, but the burn was too heavy. I don't know if it was the previous doctor who helped or the child's life was hard. Thankfully Let him survive, but the current situation is not optimistic. After all, it has been burning for three or four days. After pondering for a while, he stood up, frowned and looked at the worried mother in green clothes, "Auntie, I have to take a good look. , I’m not sure whether it can be cured, but I will try my best.” Turning to look at the old people in the house, he cupped his hands, “Elders, please go out first and wait, it’s important to save people.” Give Lu Chang a color, and then The reporter took a group of people out, and cast a worried look when the door was closing.

There was only Ma Xiaoshuai in the room, and there was nothing to avoid, so he took out the phone and informed Tang Xiao, and sent him a syringe filled with antipyretic medicine, because he had learned some pharmacology knowledge when he was in college, although the injection method was not so professional , But at this time, he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and he kept communicating with Tang Xiao on the other end of the phone. The place where the needle was inserted was obtained through the latter's Baidu.

"Zhang, Mr. Zhang, thank you." As soon as the door was opened, the mother in green clothes plopped down on her knees with a grateful face.

"Auntie, don't be like this." Lushang presumably told her identity, "It's not yet clear whether it can be cured."

"No matter what, Mr. Zhang's intention..."

"Hey, don't say that." Looking at Lushang, "Lvshang is from my house, and my aunt and younger brother are also from my house. Of course, they need to be cared for. Don't say these things anymore. See you later." Looking back at the sleeping child, he can only ask for good luck at this time, "Don't make too much noise, just wait patiently for a while, it will take half an hour to see if it gets better. "He bowed his hands to Lvshang's mother again, a little unaccustomed to the current atmosphere, looked at the child worriedly here, sighed and walked out to breathe.

While waiting anxiously, after half an hour passed, Ma Xiaoshuai re-entered the hut.

At this time, there were only five people in the room, except for the mother and daughter in green clothes, who had their hearts on the child, there were only a few white-haired old men. When they saw Ma Xiaoshuai coming in, the elders stood up in awe, and were about to salute and were beaten by Ma Xiaoshuai. Organization, Lushang and her mother also turned their heads, wiped away their tears and stood up.

"How's it going? Are you feeling better?" Ma Xiaoshuai walked to the bedside and asked Lu Chang, stretching out his hand to check his temperature.

"Well, it's better." Lu Chang nodded quickly, with a look of joy, and the mother on the side also agreed with gratitude.

The temperature from the hand is indeed showing a tendency to drop. It seems that the antipyretics are probably working, but the child is still in a coma, which is unavoidably worrying. The whole room is not in a hurry to celebrate. After another 10 minutes, the child Finally woke up in the anticipation of everyone, although still very weak, but also know how to suffer, but there is no serious problem, the whole room is relieved, several elders who are said to have the same surname trembled and felt relieved After leaving, the farmer who got the news outside the house was also relieved and left amid the repeated thanks from Lushang's mother.

"Grandpa...let's go back, let's go back." After wiping his younger brother's body, Lu Chang walked up to Ma Xiaoshuai and said in a low voice.

"Go back? It's too late, let's go tomorrow." Ma Xiaoshuai took a sip of the errand brought by Lu Chang's mother, and his mouth was a little bitter. He looked at Lu Chang with his head down, frowned pretendingly, and said dissatisfiedly: "What? You don't want me to stay in your house for too long, why don't you drive me away?"

The original intention was to make a joke to brighten up the atmosphere. Who would have thought that this girl was stupid and serious, with no sense of humor, she raised her head abruptly, waving her small hands non-stop, with an anxious face, and other red-hot hews and haws, stammering Ma Xiaoshuai sighed helplessly. He was very helpless about this girl's sudden illness. He knew in his heart that this girl was worried that she had too many things to do. Messy, "Okay, okay, I know what you mean, I'm not angry, I'm joking with you." The little girl was finally relieved after saying this, although she didn't say anything, but her eyes were full of joy, she went out Whispering a few words with their mother, the mother and daughter began to prepare dinner.

The condition of Lushang's house is good, at least they can provide some good food and drinks for entertaining guests. Ma Xiaoshuai intended to ask Lushang to invite a few old people who were waiting in the room in the evening, but her mother stopped him, meaning that he, Ma Xiaoshuai, was a distinguished guest. Yunyun should be treated well, so Ma Xiaoshuai has nothing to do, he is also hungry, so he doesn't want to be pretentious, so he picks up the chopsticks and starts to move.

Lu Chang and her mother's cooking skills are very good, which are inferior to the dishes of Laifu restaurant with MSG and other condiments, but it is good for Ma Xiaoshuai to change the taste occasionally, and Lu Chang sitting at the same table may be because Because of being at home, he performed quite well at home. He didn't show the shyness that drove Ma Xiaoshuai crazy. He was able to serve food enthusiastically with a sweet smile on his face. It was a good improvement for this little girl who could stutter a few words. Chang's mother didn't say much, probably because she was afraid that Ma Xiaoshuai would be offended, she only cared about eating, and occasionally raised her head to look at the faces of the guests, fearing that it would not suit her appetite.

It was already night after a meal, and the temperature difference between day and night in the mountains was huge, so it was very cool at this time.

"Lv Chang, how is your brother?" Ma Xiashuai sat in the small courtyard and looked at some unknown vegetables under the moonlight.

"Well, well, I just fell asleep after eating." Lu Chang came over with a happy face, thought for a while and finished.

"Well, that's good." There was still a little homemade gadget in his mouth, not sure what it was made of, it was chewy, not bad.

"Gu... uncle..."

"Why, why are you stuttering again?"

"Yes... I need to ask you for some things." Lu Chang blushed, dragging the hem of her clothes hesitantly.

"You say, I listen."

"Yes, my mother said, please promise to let my brother...let my younger brother follow, and he can help you out, even if you go to the mansion to be a servant." Lushang carefully cast her eyes at Ma Xiaoshuai, and continued to stammer: "My brother, My uncle saved my younger brother, from now on my younger brother will belong to my uncle, he can be an ox or a horse, he can be beaten or scolded..."

"Okay, okay." Ma Xiaoshuai took a sip of tea and said, "You just saved your brother, and you're going to be my cow and horse for the rest of your life?"

"But... but my mother said that she would repay my aunt." Lu Chang looked stubbornly at Ma Xiaoshuai bravely.

"Repay, yes, there is a way."

"any solution?"

"Isn't it enough for you to promise yourself?"
