Chapter 593 Abandoned Baby
Chapter 593 Abandoned Baby
It is called a swaddling cloth, but it is actually just a thin layer of rags.
This child was obviously abandoned, and there was no intention to let him live.
Ye Shu felt heartbroken as he thought about this.
Maybe because I am already a mother and now I am pregnant again, my hormones tend to fluctuate easily during pregnancy, so seeing something like this naturally makes me feel even more distressed.
As I watched, my eyes became red.
She thought that the child was either born with a disease or was a girl.
The deep-rooted idea of favoring sons over daughters has always existed since ancient times. Rich families or families that are not too poor can barely provide food for a girl.
But for a poor family, having one more mouth to feed means a huge amount of pressure, and the daughter born will definitely be thrown away.
Either throw it into the river or the sea, or throw it into the mountain, or bury it directly in a pit.
Ye Shu had read unofficial history before and saw that in ancient times some people would burn newborn baby girls to destroy the bodies.
In short, the cruelty of this world cannot be explained in just a few words.
The complexity of this world cannot be summarized in a single sentence. The complexity of human hearts and the considerations of human nature cannot be summed up in a few words.
Countless thoughts flashed through Ye Shu's mind, his hands moving non-stop, and he had already reached into the swaddling clothes and touched a specific place.
She sighed in her heart, as expected, it was a girl.
Wrapped in cotton clothes and warmed by the bottle of hot saline, the baby's body was no longer cold and finally gradually warmed up.
But she was dying and looked very thin. Her little mouth was moving unconsciously, and from time to time she made a little humming sound that was so weak that it was almost inaudible.
Ye Shu knew that she was extremely hungry.
She closed her eyes and rummaged through the space bag, but there was almost no ready-made food for the baby.
She did have a can of milk powder in her space bag, which she had kept when she switched the three little ones to malted milk.
One of the cans was given to Zhang Zhuyun on the pretext that it was from the infirmary.
But the milk powder hasn’t been soaked yet, and it’s in front of everyone. Even if it’s soaked, I can’t take it out!
Fortunately, we were in a hurry to get on the road, and no one was willing to throw away the cooked brown sugar ginger water, so we poured it all into the water bottles we carried with us!
Ye Shu also has one!
According to common sense, newborn babies are not suitable to drink brown sugar ginger water, but this is an exception!
We can’t let her freeze to death, nor can we let her starve to death. Drinking a little in an emergency can save lives!
Ye Shu sat cross-legged, leaning against the tent bag to steady herself, then placed the baby on her crossed legs, which also stabilized her body.
Then he told Xiao Gao, "Try to stay calm. I'll feed the child some brown sugar water. She must have been hungry and cold for a long time. If she doesn't eat something warm, she might not make it to the camp."
Xiao Gao looked back the way he came and found that there were no wild boars chasing him.
Then he made a gesture to the other soldiers, and they cooperated well and changed their formation immediately after seeing the gesture.
Although they were still advancing rapidly, a tight defense system centered on Ye Shu's cart had been formed, and the speed of advancement had slowed down a lot.
Ye Shu poured the brown sugar ginger water little by little onto the lid of the kettle, and then carefully dripped it drop by drop into the baby's mouth.
Maybe it was the instinct for survival, or the innate sucking ability, but as soon as the lips were wet, the baby started smacking his lips, sucking in all the brown sugar water.
Seeing that she could eat, Ye Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
Because there was no spoon and I was afraid she would choke, I fed her very slowly. Even though I fed her all the way, I only fed her the size of three bottle caps.
This child might really be blessed by God. Although he only drank a little bit of brown sugar ginger water, his complexion has obviously improved a lot, and he even opened his eyelids slightly twice.
When Ye Shu saw this, he felt even more sad.
This child must be so hungry that he doesn't even have the strength to open his eyes.
Hey!
孽 孽!
After returning to the camp safely, Ye Shu immediately took the child to the infirmary.
Huo Yisheng was surprised when he saw her bringing back a baby in her arms: "Whose is this?"
Ye Shu: "We found it on the mountain. Let's check it out first and let Xiao Gao report to you."
Given the special nature of the camp, she was more vigilant. Even if it was just a child, she had to be extra careful. What if the enemy deliberately lost the child?
Then will he do the same tricks as the madman before?
So, without any delay, the couple put the child on the bed, pulled the curtain beside the bed, and started to check.
At the same time, Xiao Gao and the soldier who picked up the child stood outside the curtain and began to report the situation in detail.
Ye Shu examined very carefully and finally confirmed that the child was indeed an abandoned baby. There were no signs of tampering on her body or the swaddling clothes that wrapped her.
The child even felt uncomfortable because of the constant turning and examination, and cried twice.
Ye Shu observed carefully and confirmed that the child had no congenital diseases and was healthy for the time being.
Then he asked Huo Yisheng to throw away the dirty and torn swaddling clothes for her, and covered her with the quilt first, saying:
"I'll go home and get her some of Guaiguai's childhood clothes, and then ask Zhu Laidi to get some milk."
Huo Yisheng felt sorry for his wife, so he quickly pulled her back and said, "Don't run back and forth anymore. Go home and get your clothes, and let others handle the rest."
Ye Shu thought about it and glanced at Xiao Gao who was standing next to him. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the burly man immediately shrank back subconsciously.
She was stunned for a moment, then reacted and smiled: "I didn't ask you to go! Why are you in such a hurry?"
He is an older young man who is not married yet, but he goes to ask a lesbian for milk. What's going on?
Xiao Gao laughed awkwardly: "Sister-in-law, um, I have something else to do. Captain Huo, I'm leaving now!"
Look at how scared this steady and excellent soldier is!
Ye Shu was amused, but still called him: "Go find Yaya, tell her what happened, and let her go."
Xiao Gao finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he also knew that the kid was very hungry and there was no time to waste, so he quickly ran out.
Ye Shu came back from home with clothes, but found that the baby was missing.
Huo Yisheng said: "Xiao Gao took him directly to Comrade Zhu's home."
Ye Shu nodded: "Zhu Lai Di has a lot of milk, so it shouldn't be a problem if we distribute some of it."
Huo Yisheng took her hand, asked her to sit down, and asked in a warm and concerned voice: "How do you feel? Are you feeling better?"
Ye Shu nodded: "Of course!"
As soon as she gets into the river, all her fatigue disappears, and now she feels very energetic!
Huo Yisheng observed her condition carefully and found that she was indeed fine, so he felt relieved.
Then he got down to business: "This child was most likely abandoned by the villagers nearby. What are you going to do?"
