“That’s right, all these natural disasters have delayed many things.” Zhou Ying replied.
She didn’t take their little schemes to heart.
Everyone was aware of the current situation. If they had any schemes because of this, there was no need to befriend such people.
Fortunately, they were just making small talk and asked no more questions. They began to chit-chat after that.
Only after this did she find out that Chunhong was pregnant again.
Naturally, Zhou Ying was asked when she would get pregnant, and she had to throw out her previous excuse.
This immediately shut their mouths.
After all, there wasn’t much to eat.
The problem was that they planted the white sweet potatoes late this year, and they were unsure if the ones they kept could last until the autumn harvest.
Therefore, they could only muddle through the mess and eat whatever was left. Getting pregnant at such a time would only cause suffering.
Widow Hua, who understood what she said, became anxious. It seemed like she had to raise a few more chickens.
“Help! Help! Tiedan is going to die!” At this moment, Tieniu ran down the mountain while shouting.
Zhou Ying and the others immediately looked over, but he didn’t run in this direction. Instead, he ran toward the village.
Not long after, she saw him dragging Gu Chengrui and Tian Jiawang up the mountain.
The women immediately sped up and gathered at Zhou Ying’s house after they were done washing the clothes.
After waiting for a while, Tian Jiawang hurriedly carried a child who was about ten years old down the mountain.
Gu Chengrui rushed into the house and quickly performed acupuncture on the child.
After a while, the child retched and vomited a pile of sticky goo.
“Tieniu, did he eat a poisonous mushroom?” Zhou Ying asked Tieniu.
“No, he picked up a dead rabbit and roasted it,” Tieniu replied.
“Dead Rabbit?” Zhou Ying exclaimed.
If she was right, very few rabbits could survive the snowstorm. Even if there were, it would be difficult to encounter them on the periphery of the mountains.
“Don’t tell me it’s a rabbit that froze to death in the snow,” she pressed for more information.
“It seems so.” Tieniu was stunned for a moment before replying.
“You didn’t eat it, did you?”
“No, he had already finished eating when we arrived.”
“Ying, go and make some soap water for Tiedan to drink to wash his insides.” Gu Chengrui shouted.
He then collected some of the vomit to see if there was any mold. It would be troublesome if it caused an epidemic.
“Okay,” Zhou Ying responded, and she immediately went back to the house. She made a large bowl of soapy water and poured it down Tiedan’s throat.
After a while, Tiedan started to vomit and had diarrhea again. Although he looked terrible, they let out a sigh of relief after seeing that he could walk normally.
At the same time, Tiedan’s parents—Qian Jiaxing and his wife—came looking for him.
Seeing that his son was still alive, Qian Jiaxing heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “Chengrui, how’s Tiedan? Is he alright? ”
“He’s okay for the time being. I’ll prescribe him two doses of medicine later. He should be fine after taking them.
“If he still has a stomach ache, bring him over.
“Also, give him some black noodles or millet porridge for the next two days to nourish his stomach. He can eat sweet potatoes in two days.”
“Okay, I’ll remember that.” Tian Jiaxing looked embarrassed, but he eventually nodded.
Afterward, he followed Gu Chnegrui back to get two doses of antiparasitic and antibacterial drugs.
Tieniu’s mother had also heard from Tieniu that Tiedan had roasted a dead rabbit to eat. She immediately twisted his ear and said, “This damned child, do you not want to live anymore? How dare you go up the mountains to eat a dead rabbit?”
“But, I’m hungry,” Tiedan replied stubbornly as he wiped away his tears..
