Chapter 209

“Tian, where did this child come from?” Shi Wuwei skillfully carried the child out of the basket.

The other three female students all looked at him in admiration.

The three of them all froze at the sight of the child just now.

Although they were women, they seemed to have been given the vocation of bringing up children by society.

But all three of them said that it was not an impossible task!

Only Shi Wuwei, who had helped his parents bring up his younger siblings when he was a child, the only big man, showed great skill with this child.

Fortunately, fortunately.

Otherwise the three of them really don’t know what to do.

Seeing that the child seemed to be under someone’s control, Yang Yuyan opened her rigid brain and looked around.

The place they chose to give congee was an empty street intersection, not next to the main road, only next to a row of low-rise residential houses in the distance.

This place is not far from their university, they feel that this is safer, is to meet what robbery, whether it is robbing food or robbing women, they have time to run back, otherwise shouting a voice can also call the people in the school to come.

Basically even the hooligans know not to mess with the students, because the students are rash, do not know the importance of it, it is easy to get killed, and the students like to fight in a crowd, to fight back to attract more people, it is very troublesome.

The school is a gathering place for the young, a place that even the military police and the Japanese don’t want to mess with.

Yang Yuyan did not find anyone, their weapons are still on the ground not set up.

The person who put the children, even if hiding, do not know where to hide.

Yang Yuyan asked Shi Wuwei, “Is this child a boy or a girl?”

Could it be patriarchal?

Shi Wuwei is touching the child’s little belly, smilingly said: “Yo, belly is bulging, eat full.” And then very skillfully reached out to touch the butt, dry.

He said, “It’s a boy. He’s been fed and shat on before he was brought here. It seems the person who sent the child here knew when we were coming and calculated the time before putting the child here.”

Yang Yucchan sighed, “Boys are also thrown, maybe the family can’t afford to raise them.”

Shi Wuwei took out the quilt holding the child in the basket and looked at it, shook his head and said, “The quilt the child is using is not bad, it’s new cotton and there are no patches, it’s not like a poor family.”

To be able to specialize in using new cloth and new cotton to make a child’s swaddling clothes, this is not a poor person, poor people can’t afford it and don’t have the money.

Huang Mingxi looked at the child’s good looks and sleeping behavior, and asked, “How many months old is he?”

Shi Wuwei held the child’s head and said, “Let’s see, less than a month.”

The child coughed twice, his voice small and weak.

Shi Wuwei hurriedly wrapped the child in swaddling clothes again and put him in the basket.

Yang Yuyan said, “Let’s not Shi today, let’s go back first, give this child a checkup, and then discuss what to do next.”

A few people cleaned up, and pulled the cart back as it was, and the child’s basket was also put on the cart.

Back at the school, they went to the infirmary first.

Here, because they were preparing to help the prostitutes, they had already stocked up on medication and cleaning supplies.

Several people came in and were self-conscious enough to wash their hands, put on white coats, masks and gloves before taking the child out.

The child is still asleep.

Weigh it first.

Shi Wuwei’s task today was to hold the child, because the three girls didn’t know how to hold it, so the three of them were responsible for preparing the experimental tools and recording the experimental data.

Shi Wuwei put the child on a plate, Yang Yucan added weights one by one, and finally Huang Mingxi recorded the data, “Four pounds and five taels. Isn’t this a bit light?” She remembered that her little brother weighed six pounds when he was born.

But everyone had no idea how much a normal baby should weigh.

The next step was to listen to heart and lung sounds with a stethoscope.

Although everyone took stethoscopes to each other from time to time to listen to each other’s heartbeats and breathing, they still didn’t know what a patient’s heartbeat and breathing looked like.

The school infirmary does not have patients to stay bed ah, as long as it is determined that the sick are sent to the hospital or herbal medicine hall.

Yang Yu Cicada listened and said, “Isn’t the beating a little low? It doesn’t feel very powerful.”

Huang Mingxi listens and also feels that the heartbeat is weak, “Could it be that he’s still too young?”

Yang Yuyan couldn’t tell.

She could only write down the words “the heartbeat is a bit weak”.

Then we counted the heartbeats. Everyone knows how to do this counting, listening to the heartbeat and watching the time to count the number of times.

Huang Mingxi: “One hundred and fourteen times. Are all babies’ hearts beating this fast?”

No idea.

Yang Yuchan said, “I think we should still send him to the hospital for a checkup first.”

Yang Yuyan said, “Good thing too, we really thought too simply.” They prepared medicines but forgot to prepare a doctor.

But before sending him to the hospital, the boy should also be given a bath.

But worrying that he was weak and would easily get sick from soaking and washing, a few people called for hot water, wrapped him in a quilt, and gave him a scrub bath.

This small child should be born with a bath, and then did not wash, a layer of baby skin dirt and grease on the body, hot water, the smell is very irritating, like a dozen years did not take a bath on the body of a big man sweat acid smell.

Recently, the day is hot, the three girls can not stand, all ran away, only left as if the nose failure Shi Wuwei finished the bath, also gave the baby changed a piece of cloth wrapped.

The swaddling clothes and basket were put away: they needed to be sterilized.

Shi Wuwei said, “He has a rash on his back.”

Yang Yuchan: “Is it prickly heat?”

She walked over to look, Shi Wuwei stepped aside to keep her away, he shook his head and said, “Not quite.”

His memory was excellent, basically 80% of what he had seen would never be forgotten. The rash on this child’s back was very much like the rash blisters on a person who had contracted the disease in one of those materials he had recently found in order to go through his thesis.

Yang Yuyan saw that Shi Wuwei’s face did not look right and immediately pulled Yang Yucan.

The three schoolgirls were all prepared to help the prostitute, and they had all thought about what kind of difficulties they would have. So at this point, all three instantly understood the problems this child might have.

Luckily, they were all well protected when they entered the infirmary.

Yang Yuyan said, “Huang Mingxi, you stay behind to sterilize. The three of us will take the child to the church hospital.”

Huang Mingxi bit her lip and followed them to the door, saying nervously, “Be careful. Did you guys bring enough money? I still have some here.”

Yang Yuyan: “Don’t worry, we’re all prepared.”

The three of them couldn’t go to the hospital in their white coats. So they changed their clothes again, wrapped the child up, and gave him a handkerchief to temporarily make a small mask to wear over his mouth.

Shi Wuwei: “I’ll bring some grass ash.”

He went so far as to make a diaper pocket for the child with grass wood ash now, so that if the child pooped or peed, he would directly have grass wood ash in his pocket, and could clean it up immediately.

If you don’t consider the question of whether the grass wood ash is clean or not, this is really convenient and quick.

The three of them went out of the campus, got on a yellow bus, and went straight to the church hospital.

The church hospital is opened by the French, flying the French flag, and before that, the British flag, the Portuguese flag, and now the Japanese flag.

But there was no Chinese flag.

The hospital gate now had security guards guarding the gate, many Chinese who came to seek medical treatment were stopped outside, but foreigners could go in directly.

Yang Yuyan’s trio looked Chinese, so the yellow-bearded security guard came over to stop them.

To come to the church hospital, Yang Yuyan has already put on the cross, which is still Zhang Ma went to the church in the past for nothing, the wooden cross.

Yang Yuyan went up and said in French, “We’re going in.”

Luckily she remembered how to say it!

The security guard, a Frenchman, listened to her speak French and was a little nicer, but took one look at Shi Wuwei, who was holding the child, and pointed at him, “You can enter, but the subordinates can’t.”

Yang Yuyan: “……” Her language reserve is not enough anymore! Rather, there was a sentence she would, but she didn’t dare to say it!

Yang Yuyan: “He is my husband.”

Yang Yuchan couldn’t understand, thankfully.

Shi Wuwei’s knees went weak.

The Frenchman took one more look at Shi Wuwei, who was holding the child, hesitated, and still got out of the way.

The three managed to enter the hospital.

Fortunately, the hospital was not as dog-eyed as the outside.

When the nurse saw the three of them enter, she rushed over, but her mouth was in English.

This nurse was obviously a Chinese.

But when she saw that Yang Yuyan and the others were Chinese, she still said in English, “Hello, may I help you?”

Yang Yuyan didn’t give her a hard time and also said in English, “I need a doctor who is very experienced in babies’ diseases.”

The nurse immediately recommended Dr. William and kindly led them to Dr. William’s office.

There were apparently not many patients in the hospital, so Dr. Williams was still quite relaxed, and he was hugging and dancing with the nurse. The nurse he was dancing with was a foreigner.

The two of them were even drinking, and there were glasses of wine on the table.

But when they saw the patient come in, that nurse left, and Dr. William immediately and politely invited them in to talk.

Dr. William: “Oh, may I help you? Honorable young lady.”

Yang Yuyan didn’t hide anything and said, “I picked up a child, and I’m worried that he might have some illnesses, so I want to bring him in for a checkup.”

Seeing the cross on her chest, Dr. William also made a cross on his own chest, and also took out an old Bible that was sitting on the table and pressed it with his hand, “You are truly a kind angel. Please let me see this child.”

Although Yang Yuyan had a lot of uneasiness about this drinking doctor, she could only trust him now. However, fortunately, he was still reliable.

Shi Wuwei placed the child on the diagnostic bed, he asked the nurse to close the window and door and turned on the light, Shi Wuwei opened the swaddling clothes and turned the child’s back over for him to see.

Dr. William frowned and asked the nurse to bring alcohol, then he went straight to his hands to touch the rash patches.

It was only then that Yang Yuyan saw that the child’s back was a large, connected patch of red rash, from his back to his legs, all over his buttocks and thighs, even on his calves.

Dr. William looked through it, then sterilized his hands with the alcohol brought by the nurse, sat down and looked at the child and said, “Regardless of where you picked it up from, I must tell you that this is a child of the devil.”

Yang Yuyan already had a number in her heart.

Although the culture of prostitutes is very common in Western countries, and even gentlemen visit brothels as a form of socializing, the mainstream view almost always treats brothels and prostitutes as evil places, places that breed evil.

I understand,” she said. This boy is he dangerous? Is he saved?”

Dr. William shook his head, and although he was speaking of a sad event, he sat relaxed as he leaned back in his chair and said, “I’m sorry to hear that. But his mother should have contracted the disease before she gave birth to him. He won’t live long, his body is full of viruses.”

Yang Yuyan: “What’s in him?”

William: “Syphilis herpes.”

All three people were prepared before they came.

Shi Wuwei rewrapped the child.

Yang Yuyan: “How long will he live?”

William: “That only God knows. It could be a day, it could be a month, or he could die the next moment. You can throw him in the garbage.”

Yang Yuyan: “Maybe I can give him a grave.”

William sighed, “You are a kind lady.”

As a sign of respect, he got up to see them out the door.

The three of them walked out with their children in their arms, and in front of the hospital gates they saw the woman they had seen at the place where the porridge had been given, stopped by the yellow-bearded guards, hiding in a corner, peering in with her head stuck out the whole time.

When she saw them, she showed a longing and hopeful look, then turned and ran away.

Yang Yuyan said sadly, “She thought we could save him.”

Shi Wuwei held this child who was still sleeping, or had passed out, “Let’s go back to school.”

This child stopped breathing that night, he drank the milk porridge Yang Yuyan brought from Little Red House at the end of the day, and it was only under the guidance of Zhang Ma that she learned that when giving milk to babies, you can’t drink pure milk, you have to add noodle or rice soup.

In the school’s scheduled cemetery, there was one more tiny grave. Shi Wuwei said, “So many people in my family have died, let me give him my brother’s name.”

Yang Yuchan: “What’s your brother’s name?”

Shi Wuwei: “Grass Head.”

The name Shi Xiaocao was eventually inscribed on the tombstone.
