Bai Banxia walked to the foot of the mountain and found someone following behind her.
She looked back and saw Qi Zhen, and said somewhat speechlessly: "Why are you following me? You can't see, so it's not convenient to go up the mountain."
"I can't see, I can't go back." Qi Zhen walked up to her and pulled her sleeve.
Hey, you can follow me, but are you going back now?
"Okay, okay."
She was going to find the child, not to fight. Just bring a burden with her. It would be harder at most.
The two walked up the mountain, and Bai Banxia quickly discovered the footprints.
"It should have taken this road, let's go and look for it." She pointed to the ground, and then she realized that Qi Zhen couldn't see it, so she simply pulled his sleeve and motioned for him to follow closely.
"I'm very angry." Qi Zhen suddenly said this.
"You ask me?" Bai Banxia didn't stop, "What my grandma heard may not be true, but that girl is really pitiful."
Bai Banxia has never seen the female doll named Liu Xiaocao, but in the memory of her predecessor, she was extremely thin and small. She looked like a four-year-old child from someone else's family when she was over five years old.
With this name, a child without parents is really like a grass.
"I'm very angry." Qi Zhen's voice was a little colder.
Bai Banxia turned to look at him. The moonlight shone on his face, but his eyes were still unfocused, less energetic, and even less aggressive than when they first saw him.
The corners of his mouth were pursed tightly, and the lines on his face were tense, and he had the same air of keeping strangers away from him again.
"Yeah, I was so angry when I heard it. If the child was thrown into the mountains alive, how scared and helpless would he be?" Bai Banxia was angry and sad. When he thought of that poor little girl, his eyes turned red.
.
"There are wolves at night." Qi Zhen added.
Bai Banxia responded, if a child is thrown into the mountains at night, he will really be picked off by wolves.
But she quickly reacted, stopped suddenly, and turned to look at him, "You mean there are wolves in the mountains recently?"
Qi Zhen nodded, "I heard a wolf howling last night."
Bai Banxia's heart skipped a beat, Qi Zhen was practicing martial arts, and his hearing must be better than ordinary people, so he shouldn't hear wrongly.
Wolves usually live in groups, at least three or five of them appear together. It is not a good thing for a group of wolves to come to the hill behind Baoshan Village.
"No wonder you want to follow me." She felt warm in her heart. This man was quite conscientious and he didn't save her in vain.
The two of them walked for a long time, but the footsteps of the Liu family were still moving forward. How could they go so deep?
Is it possible that we are afraid that the child will run back again? So we send him farther away?
After walking for a while, I suddenly heard Qi Zhen whisper: "Someone is coming."
"Let's hide." Bai Banxia pulled him and hid in the nearby bushes.
The two of them were in the bushes. Bai Banxia was a little thinner and was fine squatting, but Qi Zhen was taller and had to not only squat but also bend down, which was quite uncomfortable to watch.
After waiting for a long time, I finally heard footsteps, and two middle-aged men walked over.
It was Liu Da and Liu San from the old Liu family at the end of the village. They looked a little flustered.
"Brother, this can't work!" Liu San stopped, "I can't bear it."
Liu Da glared at him fiercely, "Stop talking nonsense, don't make me sick anymore, this is life."
He sighed deeply, "Let's go."
The two of them walked away, and Bai Banxia pulled Qi Zhen out, "Let's go and have a look. It sounds like the child is really alive."
"Um."
Bai Banxia pulled Qi Zhen's sleeves and moved faster. The two of them walked towards the mountain for almost a quarter of an hour when they finally heard a soft moan.
Her voice was extremely soft, as if she didn't even have the energy to cry.
Bai Banxia rushed over and saw a skinny little girl lying in a pile of weeds.
There was no blood on her face, but her small lips were bruised, and there were bruises on her forehead. I don't know whether they were touched or beaten. She lay there like an abandoned rag doll.
"Liu Xiaocao..." Bai Banxia squatted next to her, but did not dare to hug her easily, for fear that she would break if he touched her.
The little girl could no longer open her eyes and was making very thin sounds from her mouth, which was extremely painful.
Bai Banxia's eyes were hot, and when she touched her cheek, tears started to flow down her face.
"Don't be afraid. I am Sister Banxia from the village. I will cure you. It won't hurt anymore."
Her voice was very soft, for fear of scaring the poor child, and her movements were extremely gentle, but even so, Liu Xiaocao still groaned in pain.
Bai Banxia stuffed a painkiller into her mouth, then untied her clothes to check, and saw a large burn on one shoulder, most of which had festered and pus-filled, and the clothes were stuck to the wound.
The little girl was very skinny. The bones in her body were almost covered with skin, and there was not much meat.
"How is it?" Qi Zhen squatted beside him, unable to see but could smell the smell of the festering wound.
"The situation is very bad, with large areas of boiling water burns, ulcers and pus, fever and dehydration, and a severe decline in body functions." Bai Banxia sniffed, trying to make her voice sound less overwhelming.
"Can we save him?" Qi Zhen's voice became a little hoarse.
She nodded vigorously, "It can be saved. As long as I'm here, it can be saved!"
"Take it back and talk about it, there are wolves." Qi Zhen's voice lowered a bit.
The hairs on Bai Banxia's back stood up, and she hurriedly suppressed the sadness in her heart. Now was not the time to be sad.
Qi Zhen picked up Liu Xiaocao with one hand and paused for a moment. Bai Banxia understood at a glance that his hand was too light and it was all bones when he touched it.
Sure enough, she saw that Qi Zhen's phoenix eyes were slightly red and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.
"Let's go another way." He held Bai Banxia with his other hand.
There is more than one way up and down the mountain, so changing the other way would just take you a little further.
"Okay." She broke off a branch from the side, held Qi Zhen in one hand, and used the other hand to sweep the road ahead, sweeping away the gravel and dead branches on the road.
The two walked very fast, almost running. When they were approaching the bottom of the mountain, they heard the howling of wolves.
"If we hadn't gone tonight, I'm afraid she would have fallen into the wolf's belly." Bai Banxia gritted her teeth, "It's a human life, how can the Liu family be so cruel?"
Qi Zhen looked very sad and said in a low voice: "Sometimes the human heart is more terrifying than a wolf."
Liu Xiaocao's situation could not be delayed any longer, so the two of them rushed back to Bai's house in one go. After entering the courtyard, they went straight to the house where Qi Zhen lived.
"Although you are cousins, you can't go out alone at night." Bai Tian began to educate them as soon as he saw the two of them, but the next second he saw the little baby in Qi Zhen's arms, he instantly became speechless.
Bai Tian stretched out his hand to feel Liu Xiaocao's breath and felt the weak breathing, "You still have breath?"
Bai Banxia took the person and put him on the kang, and whispered to Bai Tian: "Dad, I don't have time to explain. You go find some wine, and then go to Dr. Xu for some burn medicine."
"Okay, okay." Bai Tian ran out without saying a word.
