The people in Zhangbang village were shocked to see so many militiamen holding guns pulled by two vehicles.
The brigade cadres were all dispatched, asking what was going on?
Han Xinghui said that he was looking for Archie. Someone witnessed him holding someone else's child and asked him to hand it over. As long as he handed over the child, everything would be easy.
The captain immediately understood that Archi was a bachelor from Zhangbang Village and was in his thirties. It was possible that he could steal other people's children and raise them as sons to support him in old age.
"Go and call Archi." The brigade cadre told the villagers to find Archi.
When Archie was found, he was timid and nervous, almost crying, and said: "I didn't steal the child..."
Han Xinghui asked: "Where is the child you held a few days ago?"
"I... the child didn't wake up. I took him to the hospital, and the hospital said they had to pay. They also said that the child was in a severe coma and couldn't be cured. I, I just left him in the hospital and came back on my own."
"Which hospital did you leave it at?"
Archie hesitated and said that he had left it at the health center in Yuntang Town.
Han Xinghui threatened him: "You have to tell the truth. If you tell lies and something happens to this child, you will definitely be shot."
Archie gritted his teeth and just said: "I really was put in the health center."
The captain said sadly: "Archie, you have to tell the truth, otherwise none of us can protect you."
Archie's 60-year-old mother cried and begged Archie: "Archie, please tell the truth. If you are shot, how will I live?"
Archie lowered his head, and Han Xinghui told the team leader: "We need to take this man away and send him to the district police. He is a human trafficker."
Archie immediately defended: "I didn't sell the child."
"Where is the child?"
Archie just didn't say anything.
Han Xinghui felt that he might be trying to protect someone, so he tempted him and said: "As long as you tell where the child is now, we will forgive you and no one will be involved. If you have taken care of the child these days, we will compensate you and give you an appropriate payment."
You have some food or money."
Archie looked at the crowd around him and whispered, "I want to talk to you alone, okay?"
Han Xinghui thought it would work and said it would work.
When they were alone, Archie whispered.
Only then did Han Xinghui find out that Archi was a bachelor from Zhangbang Village, his family was poor, he was 36 this year, and he had not found a partner. He met Tian Xiufeng, a widow from Daxi Village more than ten miles away, and they met by chance and had been secretly communicating with each other.
The man Tian Xiufeng left behind a son who fell ill and died last year without resuscitation. Widow Tian had no hope and always wanted to commit suicide.
Archie picked up Xu Mingyi, a little bun, and gave it to Widow Tian to keep, giving her a little more hope.
"Is the child still angry?"
"When I picked it up, I was angry, but I didn't wake up. When I went to look at it last night, I still didn't wake up."
Archie was also extremely unlucky. He finally picked up a child and gave it to his sweetheart, but he still couldn't be saved.
"Well, you take me with you. I won't ask the others to follow you. You return the child to me and I will give you some money and food."
Han Xinghui thought that it was lucky that Archie had picked up the little bun, otherwise he would have been dead in the mountains. This was a life-saving grace and he must be grateful.
They agreed, and Han Xinghui went out and told the cadres in the brigade that he had made an agreement with Archie and they would handle it themselves.
Archi followed the car and left the village. Han Xinghui asked Han Jin to drive the militiamen back. He took Archi to Daxi Village to find Widow Tian.
Xu Zishan had been in the car, and when he saw Han Xinghui coming back with Archie, he knew there was something going on.
She immediately asked Archie: "Where did you put my brother?"
Han Xinghui explained it to her.
Xu Zishan promised: "Archie, if my brother is still alive, I will thank you very much."
Archie's smile was uglier than his tears. He wanted money, and he even wanted to leave his child to Widow Tian. Without her child, Widow Tian would definitely not be able to survive.
They drove to Daxi Village, and Archie followed Han Xinghui and Xu Zishan into Widow Tian's home for the first time.
Many people in the village heard the car noise and went to Widow Tian's house. They all ran out to watch the excitement. Fortunately, Xu Zishan followed, otherwise Widow Tian's reputation would have been really affected.
Widow Tian didn't know Han Xinghui and Xu Zishan, but she knew Archi. She was panicked and didn't know what to do. Her face turned red and she looked at them and stammered: "What's the matter with you?"
Xu Zishan looked at the people lying outside the wall watching the excitement, and said softly: "Sister Tian, I am a teacher at Yancang Town Central Primary School."
When the people outside watching the excitement heard that he was a teacher, they didn't understand why they were looking for Widow Tian, but at least they knew that the person who came was a serious person and not a mess.
Widow Tian let them in, went out and closed the outer door. She calmed down and said, "What do you want from me? Tell me."
Xu Zishan didn't mince words and said directly: "Sister Tian, the child that Archie gave you a few days ago is my brother."
Without any nonsense, tell her directly that he is his brother.
Widow Tian's eyebrows suddenly drooped and she said, "Come in with me to have a look. The child has been sleeping since the day we brought him in, and he hasn't woken up yet."
She wanted to have a son by her side, but they came to her door and the child didn't wake up, so she had nothing to hide.
Several people entered the back room and saw the little bun lying on the bed.
When Xu Zishan saw this little brother again, it felt like a lifetime ago. Tears streamed down his face. He walked over quickly, hugged his little body, and shouted with a choked voice: "Xiaoyi..."
The little bun was motionless and his face was green and yellow. Han Xinghui stretched out his hand to test his breathing. Xu Zishan also tried it. He was alive, but his breathing was weak.
"I didn't treat him badly," Widow Tian said. "I went to the village doctor to see him and gave him nutrition. He couldn't eat anything. He has been taking nutrition for the past few days."
Xu Zishan estimated that the nutritional supplement she was talking about was glucose injection, and the current nutritional supplement was just glucose injection.
"Sister Tian, thank you. I have to take my brother to a big hospital right away."
Seeing that Widow Tian was reluctant to give up, Xu Zishan took out 400 yuan from his bag and gave Widow Tian and Archie 200 yuan each.
"Thank you for saving my brother, you can take this money." Xu Zishan said.
Widow Tian refused and said: "You should send the child to the hospital quickly. Use the money to save him. Although I only have a relationship with him for a few days, I like this child. If he survives, ask him to call me in the future...
Aunt!"
Archie took it and said to Widow Tian: "Xiu Feng, with this money, I have also saved a little. I will find a matchmaker and let's go through the official formalities. Come with me. Don't guard it alone."
Han Xinghui and Xu Zishan took Xu Mingyi directly to the district hospital.
We went to see a specialist at the hospital and found out that Xu Mingyi's illness was serious at first glance. The doctor had difficulty in diagnosing what was wrong, so he was hospitalized first.
Han Xinghui saw her eyes were red and said, "Don't cry. If it can't be cured here, let's go to Baodu City. If it can't be cured in Baodu City, let's go to Kyoto."
"Yes, I know." Xu Zishan responded, holding Xu Mingyi's little hand. His hand was very cold, but his face and body were clean. Widow Tian took good care of him with all her heart.
Han Xinghui returned to Tao'ao Village to find Grandpa Xu.
Grandpa Xu has met him and has a very good impression of him. He just wonders if this big man is pursuing his granddaughter?
"Xu Zishan asked me to come. I have something to tell you." Han Xinghui pulled Grandpa Xu aside and whispered, "Grandpa Xu, Xu Mingyi has been found."
