Chapter 111: The sister of childhood friend in the novel (5)
When Su Xingchen and Gu Huanzhi brought their men back, the boy still showed no signs of waking up.
Zhang Wang came with the farm doctor. He looked at the unconscious boy on the kang and said in surprise, "It's him!"
"Uncle Zhang, do you know him?" Su Guoan asked, "Who is he?"
"Alas, he is a miserable man." Zhang Wang sighed and told several people about the boy's life story.
The boy's name is Wang Xiangbei, and he is from the nearby Zhangjia Village. But from his name, you can tell that his family is from another family and he doesn't have many relatives in the village.
In fact, this is true. Wang Xiangbei's mother fled to Zhangjia Village, and the village chief took her in out of pity for her.
Originally, we wanted to find someone for her to marry, but who knew that she had been married before and was pregnant when she entered the village. Her husband died on the way to escape, so the child became a posthumous one.
There were still many good people in the village, so they rented the extra land in the village to the woman and lent her food, hoping that she would live well, after all, she still had children to raise.
But during the war, every family was in difficulty. Although the woman survived, her health was damaged. When Wang Xiangbei was ten years old, he still couldn't make it.
After his mother died, Wang Xiangbei had no one to rely on. Fortunately, he was in good health and often went up the mountain to set small traps, or helped with farm work in the village in exchange for some food.
A few years ago, when his mother was still alive, Wang Xiangbei found a big white dog from some mountain. The dog was very fierce and could not only help him guard the house, but also accompany him hunting.
But I heard that a few days ago, the big white dog seemed to be very weak for some reason, so Wang Xiangbei told his neighbors that he wanted to send his dog away, but no one knew where he sent it to.
Wang Xiangbei had been gone for more than ten days, and the villagers were quite worried. They didn't expect him to appear here. It was really strange.
"A few days ago, a cousin of mine asked me if I had seen him on the farm," said Zhang Wang.
At this time, the doctor who came with him also finished examining Wang Xiangbei: "It's nothing serious, just skin injuries, Xiao Ran handled it very well."
The agricultural technician and the doctor work very close to each other, so the doctor and Su Xiangran are quite familiar with each other.
The doctor thought for a moment and said, "Tonight, you have to keep an eye on him to see if he has a fever. If his temperature goes up, you must lower his temperature. His wound doesn't look like a problem, but I'm worried about infection."
"Okay, we got it." Li Na responded, "It's not convenient to move him this late at night, let him recover here first!"
When Zhang Wang and Doctor Sun arrived at the Su family's yard, they also saw the tied up wolf cub. Zhang Wang walked around it and said, "Is it just a wolf-dog hybrid?"
"I don't know! He is with that Wang Xiangbei." Su Xiangran answered truthfully.
When Zhang Wang wanted to ask something, Gu Huanzhi had already spoken.
"Grandpa Zhang, Doctor Sun, it's getting late. It's not safe for you to go back. Let me take you there!" Gu Huanzhi suggested, "Wait a moment. I'll go get the torches ready."
After saying that, Gu Huanzhi walked out, picked up the spare torch in the kitchen, and lit it with a fire starter, intending to send the two people home.
"I'll go with you." Su Xingchen immediately followed suit, "I'm worried about you coming back alone."
Gu Huanzhi smiled and explained: "Xingchen, you don't have to worry about me. After I send Grandpa Zhang and the others back, I will stay the night with them and go directly to open up the wasteland tomorrow."
"Okay! Be careful on the road." Su Xingchen then felt relieved to let Gu Huanzhi go out at this time.
Su Xiangran didn't even look at the two men. After Uncle Zhang and the others left, she closed the fence door again and went back to the house.
At night, just as Doctor Sun had said, Wang Xiangbei started to have a fever. Li Na felt sorry for this child whose parents had died young, so she and Su Xiangran used physical methods to cool him down.
Fortunately, Wang Xiangbei's physical fitness is indeed good, and the fever soon began to subside.
In order to prevent him from relapsing, Su Xiangran decided to take turns with Li Na to look after Wang Xiangbei. As Li Na had work the next day, Su Xiangran let Li Na go to sleep first and she would take over when she was tired.
Although Li Na felt a little sorry for her daughter, she decided not to refuse when she thought about the large number of people waiting to eat at the farm tomorrow.
