The girl's voice was small and tender, which seemed particularly abrupt in such a serious courtroom.
Bai Banxia reached out and hugged her, gently touched her little head, squatted down to eye level with her, and asked: "Look, do you know them?"
The girl got into Bai Banxia's arms and said, "I don't know you. I don't remember."
She was only three years old when she was abducted, and she might have been sick for a while, so it's normal that she doesn't remember.
At this time, Bai Shengming and Nancheng also arrived outside the lobby. They were out of breath after running, but Nancheng's eyes lit up when he saw the girl.
"Sister, it's my sister!" Although Nancheng was a young man who was cautious, he was still a ten-year-old child and shouted excitedly.
Bai Banxia is basically certain in her heart that the girl is the girl of the Nan family, but in court, one cannot rely on intuition or closeness, everything must be based on evidence.
The girl showed her little face and looked at Nancheng curiously, but she still didn't seem to be impressed.
"What is your sister? She is obviously my daughter Xiaoxiu." The Li family woman walked towards the girl, her eyes full of tears, "Xiaoxiu, look at mother, think about it carefully."
The girl was so frightened that she hid behind Bai Banxia. Bai Banxia stopped the Li family woman and said in a tactful tone: "The child is still young and was frightened by being abducted and sold. Give her some time."
"You came with them, and you want to rob my daughter!" The Li family woman suddenly shouted, "I finally found my daughter, you can't rob me like this!"
She screamed with tears streaming down her face, and collapsed on the ground because her body was too weak.
"Do you know how I came here in the past two years? I couldn't really close my eyes at any night. As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw my little Xiu crying and reaching out to me, asking my mother to save her. I was afraid, at first
I'm afraid I'll never find her again, but no matter how hard I try, I can't find her, and I'm afraid she'll be harmed, so I just want her to live in peace."
The Li family woman had already burst into tears. "Later, I was afraid that others would mistreat her and that she would not have enough food and clothing to keep warm. I just wanted her to meet a good family and live a better life."
"I know my family is poor and I cannot compare with the scholar, but Xiaoxiu is the baby born from my belly in ten months of pregnancy. Please don't rob me and give your daughter back to me!"
These words resonated with Mrs. Nan, and she started crying, almost to the point of losing her breath.
For a moment, everyone in the hall had red eyes. No one cared about the inappropriateness of the Li family woman's words. They just sympathized with the mother who had lost her daughter.
Zhou Hai turned his back and quietly wiped the corners of his eyes. He also had a daughter, Mei'er, who was about the same age. He couldn't imagine what would happen to him if Mei'er disappeared.
When the girl saw that both women were crying, she started to cry in fright. Bai Banxia touched her head and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, it's not your fault. You are still young. You may even be sick and have a seizure."
I won’t remember many things when I’m hot.”
"But I don't want them to cry. I feel so uncomfortable." The girl cried.
Bai Banxia's eyes were also moist. Although the girl was young, she also knew that she felt sorry for others, or that mother and daughter were connected. She felt her mother crying, so she also felt very uncomfortable.
"Or think about whether there are any memories in your head that you didn't have at home before?" Bai Banxia nodded her head, intending to ask from a different angle.
The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said: "I remember that there was a well in the backyard, but there was not one in my house. Once I told her, my grandma beat me hard and didn't give me anything to eat. She said I didn't allow it.
I talk nonsense."
As she spoke, she lifted up her sleeves, revealing a scar on her small arm. She said aggrievedly: "This was what my grandma slapped me at that time. The chopsticks were broken, and my arm was cut open, causing a lot of blood."
"
Nancheng jumped up and said, "There is a well in our backyard. My brother used to take you to fetch water with him!"
Mrs. Nan clutched her heart and burst into tears.
Her daughter actually went through this, being abducted and beaten, and beating her severely if she dared to talk about her past memories. No wonder the child didn't remember it.
If she hadn't taken her daughter to the market that day, if someone hadn't knocked her down and she let go of her daughter's hand in pain, how could her daughter have disappeared? How could she have experienced such pain?
She blamed herself endlessly, her breathing became rapid, her eyes rolled back and she passed out.
"Madam!" Nan Shuwen hurriedly supported her, but Mrs. Nan's face was pale and she was already taking in more air than out.
"Put the person down." Bai Banxia did not dare to delay and rushed over to save Mrs. Nan.
Mrs. Nan's body was already weak. This was caused by a heart attack caused by emotional excitement. She might suffocate and die.
"What do I need to prepare?" Zhou Hai also asked worriedly.
"I'll give you a prescription. Please ask someone to write it down and get the medicine." Bai Banxia said.
She gave the prescription and recorded it in the court documents, then handed it to Zhang Tonglin and asked him to run errands.
Nowadays, almost all county government errand work is left to Zhang Tonglin. He has fast feet and is willing to run. He never complains about being tired. Although he is a bit silly, the old people in the official cadres like him very much.
After Bai Banxia finished pricking Mrs. Nan's needle, he bent his fingertips and flicked a stream of moxibustion gas in.
There was a soft hum, which was particularly clear in the silent lobby. Mrs. Nan's pale face gradually improved, and her breathing calmed down a lot.
Even if those who have seen Bai Banxia rescuing people are used to it, they still can't help but marvel.
Finally, Mrs. Nan opened her eyes and was about to speak, but was stopped by Bai Banxia.
"Don't talk and don't get excited. Your body can no longer be hurt. Think about how you want to find your daughter, instead of letting her lose her mother at such a young age." Bai Banxia said with a cold face and a serious look.
Seeing her speaking so seriously, Bai Shengming also saw how dangerous his wife's body was, and hurriedly whispered to Na Cheng: "Quickly advise your mother not to get excited anymore. If my sister talks about her illness seriously, it must be
It’s very dangerous.”
Nancheng nodded, hurriedly went to the side and said, "Mom, don't say anything. Leave the matter to me and dad. Our family must be together."
Mrs. Nan nodded with tears in her eyes, trying to calm herself down a bit.
At this time, Zhang Tonglin had already returned with the medicine and arranged for someone to take it to the back hall to cook it.
"I can understand how she feels, but the child is really mine." The Li family woman said aggrievedly.
Zhou Hai, who was looking up, had a headache. He thought for a while and said, "Then do you have anything to prove? It's like the Nan family said there is a well in the backyard, does yours have one?"
Bai Sheng bowed to Zhou Hai in the Ming Dynasty and said, "Sir, I can prove that there is a well in the backyard of the Nan family."
But the wife of the Li family stared and said, "My house doesn't have a well, but the little scholar is only three years old and can't remember things at all. Maybe she remembered it wrong."
Mrs. Nan wanted to open her mouth, but Mr. Nan held her down.
"Sir, I remember that there is a mole in the hair on the little girl's temple. Because it is blocked by the hair, you can't see it on weekdays." Mr. Nan paused and said, "It should be the left temple."
