SFS Chapter 261: Rescue at the Post Station
Chapter 261: Rescue at the Post Station
After Shen Youyou received instructions, she went back to her room with her sister and aunts to wait.
There are so many of them, it's not easy for everyone to wash at once, so in order to avoid a mess, everyone follows the order.
On the women's side, the young girls brought three little girls from Shenjia Village to wash first, followed by the old ladies, and finally the women.
On the men's side, a few strong laborers took the kids to take a bath first, because the boys in Shenjia Village would go crazy when they took a bath, as if they were going to the execution ground.
You can't take a bath unless your father grabs and pulls you.
Moreover, they are children and they love to touch and scratch things, so there is mud under their nails, even though I try my best to let them wash with soap before every meal.
But not long after washing they got dirty again.
In ancient times, children might have some physical deficiencies and would have the habit of biting their nails. At this time, not only would they have to wash the mud out of their nails, but they would also have to cut off their long nails.
However, there were no modern nail clippers, so we had to use scissors. The little kids were quite scared and were not very happy to have their nails cut.
At this time, Shen Zhiqiu, the leader, had to take a more serious attitude and forcefully suppress the situation: "The nails must be trimmed cleanly. If you see anyone chewing their nails again, they will not be allowed to eat meat or candy in the future."
There really are eight private rooms, with people coming in and out, all carrying buckets of water. Even if the noise is low, how could there be no sound at all?
And they really have to wash everything, and it takes a while to finish.
Influenced by Li Jingshu and Shen Youyou, women and girls would apply some facial oil on themselves after washing.
Men are not like women who apply it on their arms, legs and feet, but they will also learn from Shen Zhiqiu and apply some on their faces.
So it was really late when we finished cleaning up, but just when everyone was lying down,
Shen Youyou was still applying pine oil to her slightly dry hair.
Then I heard someone running anxiously while shouting "Doctor".
The room where Shen Youyou and her friends lived was just one floor below the stairs, so they could hear it very clearly.
She put her hair up, not thinking about why she couldn't wear a hairpin because she wasn't old enough. She just put on a hairpin, which I don't know whether it was her breast's or her mother's, and put it in her coat, ready to go out.
Old Lady Hua and Li Jingshu said at the same time: "Where are you going? Stop, let's go out."
Shen Youyou was stunned: "Are you two so in tune with each other?"
Li Jingshu was in no mood to listen to her nonsense, so he quickly put on his clothes and got off the kang.
The same goes for Old Lady Hua, as well as Eldest Aunt Shen Zhichun, Eldest Uncle's Wife, and Fourth Aunt, all of them are now alarmed.
When Shen Youyou followed Li Jingshu and Old Lady Hua out, she saw a man holding a baby. The baby's face was red, his eyes were closed, his expression was ferocious, and he was pinching his neck tightly, looking like he was in trouble.
Moreover, the man only had time to put on a coat, with his hair disheveled and looking very disheveled.
There was a man who looked like a doctor standing by, but he was also sweating profusely and had no idea what to do.
"Dong Weng, I'm afraid that the young master is..."
The doctor hesitated, and although he didn't say anything out loud, almost everyone present understood.
At this moment, a beautiful woman upstairs, supported by others, ran downstairs while crying: "Hao'er, Hao'er, my husband, how is Hao'er?"
At the same time, many people in the inn were alarmed and sent people out to see what was going on.
Of course, Shen Zhiqiu and his friends who lived in other large dormitory rooms were no exception.
The father and daughter looked at each other, obviously asking each other, what should we do, it's stuck, should we save it?
Judging from the little boy's appearance, he's probably in great danger. I'm afraid that he won't be rescued and will get into trouble instead.
After all, his parents are not ordinary.
But now the father and daughter really didn't have too much time to think. The situation was urgent, and they couldn't bear to watch a child die in front of them.
Shen Zhiqiu walked over anxiously and shouted, "Give me the child. I have a way to save him!"
The man holding the child handed the child to Shen Zhiqiu almost reflexively, his eyes red and full of hope, as if he had grasped the last straw.
Shen Zhiqiu took the child, turned his body over without hesitation, and then put his hands tightly around the boy's slender waist from behind.
He clenched his fist and placed the thumb side of his fist accurately on the boy's abdomen above his belly button and below his sternum.
The other hand held the fist tightly and punched the boy's abdomen upward at a very fast speed. This action was repeated continuously without any pause.
It was because Shen Zhiqiu's actions seemed a bit crude and rough, and the child's parents were too anxious and could not understand the situation at all for a while.
Seeing their precious son being treated like this, they were immediately panicked.
The man with disheveled hair, the doctor beside him, and many servants all cried out in surprise and were about to reach out to stop them.
Shen Youyou said hurriedly: "Don't make trouble, do you want the kid to die? My father is saving people."
Her voice was clear and loud, with unquestionable certainty.
It was also possible that the thought of the little baby dying really hit the most fearful part of their hearts, and the lady had collapsed on the ground, crying out loud.
Several maids and old women also followed suit, crying and trying to persuade them.
It was too messy. Men were more capable of taking responsibility at critical moments than women. He didn't dare to catch Shen Zhiqiu, but immediately caught Shen Youyou.
"You...you mean this will save my son?"
Shen Youyou knew that he was anxious, so she quickly explained: "Maybe, if my father can't save him like this, then no one can save him."
This is not a lie. At least in this post station, only Shen Zhiqiu has the ability to save this child.
But ancient people valued humility, and it was rare to encounter someone who dared to speak so directly. After all, this was a matter of human life.
Shen Youyou just hoped that no one would delay his father's rescue.
But many people who had come out upstairs and downstairs to check the situation were talking about what she said.
Although I couldn't hear clearly what was said, there was no doubt that most of the people were pessimistic. The child had not spoken for a long time and his face had turned purple.
This has happened before, and there is only one outcome.
But no one actually said out loud, "The child is hopeless."
Even if you think so, no idiot would say it out loud at this time. In real life, not many people would offend others, especially when they can see that the other person's identity is not simple.
But Shen Zhiqiu really tried his best and now he was sweating coldly.
At this time, almost everyone in Shenjia Village had come out, except for a few who stayed behind to look after the kids.
Grandpa Shen, Old Man Shen, Old Lady Hua, all of them clenched their fists, bit their cheeks, and watched Shen Zhiqiu's actions.
After hearing what Yoyo said, they knew that Shen Zhiqiu was saving people and did not dare to make any noise to disturb him.
But the strong laborers had quietly gathered around Shen Zhiqiu. They were afraid that Shen Zhiqiu would fail to save the people, so they could protect him immediately.
After all, this group of honest men could see that although the man's clothes were disheveled and looked very embarrassed, the material of his clothes was not something that ordinary people could afford.
Shen Youyou was also extremely nervous. She did not dare to guarantee that her father would be able to rescue the person, but she knew clearly that it was not her father's fault for meddling in other people's business. After all, it was a human life. How could he just watch and do nothing?
At this moment, "Poof!" "Cough, cough, cough!"
