Chapter 199 Coal Poisoning
Just as Aunt Zhang was about to speak, Lin Hu suddenly pushed the door open from the outside. A cold wind rushed into the room, making everyone shiver.
Mrs. Wen covered her mouth and nose and sneezed. Aunt Zhang said quickly, "Xiao Hu, close the door quickly, don't let your mother get cold."
Lin Hu turned around and closed the door, her face anxious and tear-stained. "Grandma, Mom, Auntie, Hu Zi seems to be dying. He's unconscious now."
Several people quickly stood up, and Shen Wanning asked hurriedly, "What happened? Did he faint from the cold?"
Lin Hu shook his head and said, "I don't know. Grandma Qin has already asked Dad to drive the carriage to get a doctor. I'm just worried whether Hu Zi will...will..."
"You kid, it's New Year's Day, don't talk nonsense, let's go and see it quickly. Hu Zi is Grandma Qin's life. If something happens to Hu Zi, Grandma Qin will probably have no desire to live anymore." Aunt Zhang frowned.
"Wan Ning, let's go quickly. You stay at home, Mrs. Wen." As they said that, Shen Wan Ning and Aunt Zhang walked quickly towards Grandma Qin's house.
When they arrived, many people had already arrived, and there were quite a lot of people crowded in Grandma Qin's house.
As soon as Shen Wanning saw the brazier in the room, she almost understood what was going on.
"Open the doors and windows, everyone go out first, don't crowd in the house, and by the way, take the brazier out." He said immediately after entering the door.
Because of what she had done in Daqing Village in the past few months, the villagers were quite convinced by her words, so they did as she said without hesitation.
"Mom, please go home and bring my quilt over. Sister Xu, please go and make a cup of strong tea, the stronger the better." Shen Wanning said immediately.
After saying that, she walked to Hu Zi, reached in, touched his chest, and felt his heartbeat.
She quickly began to undress Hu Zi, layer by layer.
"Wanning, it's so cold now. Will Hu Zi get frozen?" Although she believed Shen Wanning, Grandma Qin was still a little worried when she saw her undressing the child.
"I'm coming, I've brought the quilt." Aunt Zhang squeezed in holding the quilt.
Seeing Aunt Zhang coming, Shen Wanning simply took off Hu Zi's clothes and wrapped him in a quilt.
"Mom, please help me carry Hu Zi outside." As she said that, Shen Wanning picked up the front of the quilt, and Aunt Zhang held the back of the quilt and carried Hu Zi out of the door.
Shen Wanning put Hu Zi on the ground, lying on his side, to ensure that he could breathe smoothly.
"Oh, this is a newly made quilt. What should we do if it gets dirty?" Although she was worried about Hu Zi, she felt a pang in her heart when she saw Shen Wanning throw the quilt on the ground without any care.
"It's already this late, why are you still thinking about the quilt? Hu Zi is the most important. The quilt is dirty, just wash it." Although Aunt Zhang felt distressed, there was nothing she could do.
Fortunately, Hu Zi was not poisoned too deeply and woke up soon after. "Grandma, I... my head hurts."
Granny Qin held Hu Zi's hand, tears streaming down her face, "Hu Zi, you're awake. That's great! God bless you, God bless you!"
"The tea is here, please make way." Mrs. Xu came over with the cold strong tea.
Shen Wanning took the strong tea and tested the temperature. It was just drinkable and not too hot.
"Hu Zi, come here, drink this bowl of strong tea. It will make your head hurt less. The doctor will come later and prescribe some medicine for you. You should be fine." Shen Wan Ning coaxed softly.
Hu Zi obediently drank a bowl of strong tea and waited for the doctor to arrive.
Seeing that Hu Zi was fine, Granny Qin breathed a sigh of relief, "Wan Ning, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to Hu Zi!"
As she spoke, Grandma Qin's tears began to fall again.
"Grandma Qin, it's okay. Hu Zi is suffering from coal poisoning. Next time you warm yourself by the fire in winter, you must never close the doors and windows. If there is no ventilation, you will easily get poisoned." Shen Wanning said seriously.
Shi Zhenxiang came over and said, "But if we don't close the doors and windows, won't it be very cold if the cold wind blows in? Then why are we still warming ourselves by the fire?"
"If it's not breathable, it can easily lead to poisoning. You can avoid making a fire and close the doors and windows tightly. But you have to ventilate when making a fire." Shen Wanning's expression was very serious.
"Is that so? I was wondering why people die for no reason in winter! It turns out you need ventilation before you can warm yourself by the fire!"
"My nephew from my mother's side died in winter. For some reason at night, he started convulsing and died the next day."
"That's not right! Didn't Da Zhuang from our village die in winter last year?"
"It's definitely right to listen to Wan Ning. Look, she saved Hu Zi!"
"That's right. In the past, everyone died inexplicably, and we didn't know what happened. Now, after hearing what Wan Ning said, we immediately understand."
"No, I have to tell my parents to avoid this kind of problem from happening again."
"I'll go back too and tell my parents."
Wei Fangfei came over and said, "In that case, I'll go back and tell my father-in-law, and have him tell everyone in the village to prevent this from happening again."
Shen Wanning nodded, "That's great."
After a while, Lin Jingcheng brought the doctor.
After taking Hu Zi's pulse, the doctor said calmly, "It's okay, it's not serious. I'll prescribe some medicine later. You'll be fine after taking it for two or three days."
Granny Qin paid the money, took the prescription written by the doctor, and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you very much, doctor. I will go get the medicine right away."
"Well, pay more attention to rest these days and don't let the child overwork." The doctor gave a few instructions and left with the medicine box on his back.
Seeing that Granny Qin was struggling with the prescription, Lin Jingcheng took the initiative to take it, "Granny Qin, I have to send the doctor back to town anyway, why don't I go and help get the medicine!"
Grandma Qin was deeply moved and kept thanking Lin Jingcheng while holding his hand.
"Thank you so much! If it weren't for your family, I don't know what I would do! Thank you, thank you so much."
"You're welcome, Grandma Qin. I'll be leaving first. You take good care of Hu Zi at home." With that, Lin Jingcheng went out to catch up with the doctor.
Granny Qin looked at the quilt on Hu Zi and said embarrassedly, "Chun Mei, Wan Ning, can you lend this quilt to our Hu Zi for two days? I'm afraid he..."
"It's okay, Grandma Qin, just focus on covering Hu Zi first! Hu Zi's health is important." Shen Wanning said.
"Yes, we still have a few quilts at home, so there's no need to rush." Aunt Zhang followed.
In order to prepare for guests or occasional emergencies at home, they made a few more quilts.
"Thank you so much, I don't know what I would have done if it weren't for you!"
Grandma Qin had already thanked her many times today. If she stayed here any longer, she would probably keep saying it, so Shen Wanning simply made an excuse that she had something to do at home and left first.
