Chapter 163 The Silent Little Girl

“You are Li Jiajia, right?” Chen Dong smiled softly, trying to infect the little girl in front of him with his smile.

In the end, Li Jiajia didn’t react at all. Only when he saw the village chief, did her calm eyes turn slightly: “Grandpa village chief.”

The old village chief touched Li Jiajia’s head: “Your mother is in the house?”

“Um.”

The old village chief sighed: “You haven’t eaten yet?”

Li Jiajia shook her head, she was really a taciturn little girl.

After the village chief asked the two workers to put down their things, they went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Even if Li Jiajia’s mother and daughter don’t eat, they can’t neglect Xu Zhixia.

“This is Mr. Xu and this is Doctor Chen. They are all here to visit you.”

“These things are all bought by Mr. Xu. With these rice and oil, you and your mother can eat for a while.”

Xu Zhixia heard this and took out the red envelope that he had prepared a long time ago. The red envelope was five centimeters thick: “Jiajia, everyone knows your situation and feels sorry for you. This is what everyone has prepared for you.”

Li Jiajia did not immediately pick up a red envelope when he heard the words, but instead saw the village chief.

The village chief nodded: “Accept it, this is the wish of Mr. Xu and everyone.”

“Dr. Chen heard about your mother’s situation and rushed over here on purpose, wanting to see what kind of disease your mother had. With Dr. Chen’s presence, maybe your mother’s condition could improve by one or two points.”

Chen Dong could clearly see that when the village chief finished these words, Li Jiajia’s eyes brightened.

It seems that only her mother, Zhang Guixiang, can make the girl’s mood a little bit ups and downs.

Chen Dong didn’t know what happened to Li Jiajia, who was only ten years old, to become so reticent.

“Can Jia Jia take me to see your mother?”

Li Jiajia nodded: “You come with me.”

Chen Dong followed Li Jiajia to the house. The mother and daughter’s room was obviously very simple. Except for the bed and the cabinet, there was a table with a broken leg. Li Jiajia took a few bricks to cushion it.

And Li Jiajia’s mother, Zhang Guixiang, was lying on the bed at the moment, staring blankly at the top, with no focus.

“Mom, this is Doctor Chen.” Li Jiajia said softly, for fear of disturbing her mother.

However, when the woman on the bed heard these words, she was not touched at all.

Li Jiajia moved her lips and said helplessly, “Uncle Chen, don’t mind, my mother has always looked like this.”

The arms on the outside of the quilt were as thin as firewood, and it is not too much to say that they were skinny, and Zhang Guixiang’s face was sallow, and his lips were not even bloody.

If she does not hurry up for treatment, no matter what the disease is, she won’t be saved.

Because Zhang Guixiang’s spirit is slowly disappearing.

Seeing what Zhang Guixiang wanted to ask from his mouth, it was obviously impossible.

Chen Dong had to ask the 10-year-old Li Jiajia.

“How long has your mother been in this situation?”

Regarding Zhang Guixiang’s matter, Li Jiajia thought about it carefully before telling Chen Dong: “It has been nine months now.”

Nine months is not long, but not short.

“Suddenly ill in bed?”

He needs to understand the basic situation to make a judgment.

Li Jiajia shook her head: “In the beginning, my mother was still able to do farm work, but occasionally she felt dizzy, vomiting and diarrhea.”

“But this is a normal phenomenon here.”



If it had not been before coming to this village, Chen Dong might not have understood what Li Jiajia’s normal phenomenon was.

But after living here for two days, Chen Dong suddenly discovered that because of the lack of supplies here, many villagers would go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables to eat, which caused them to often vomit and vomit.

Because they themselves are not sure whether they can eat the wild vegetables they picked.

After a long time they become accustomed to it, anyway, they can’t eat people.

I guess Zhang Guixiang didn’t care much about this at the time.

“Then what?”

Chen Dong motioned to Li Jiajia to continue and said, he wanted to know how Zhang Guixiang became so dull now.

Now Zhang Guixiang looks a bit like a person with mental retardation.

“Later, my mother’s symptoms became more and more serious. She often had diarrhea, and sometimes she fell directly to the ground in severe cases.”

Pull the symptoms of collapse.

“I went to Grandpa Niu’s place to change some herbs, trying to stop the diarrhea for my mother, but it didn’t work.”

Chen Dong also heard about the grandfather Niu in Li Jiajia’s mouth.

According to the village chief, this grandpa Niu is an old Chinese doctor in the village.

To put it nicely, the old Chinese medicine doctor is actually a barefoot doctor. Grandpa Niu came to this village when he was young. His old husband knows a little medical skills, so he also learned a little along with him.

He is not very proficient, so he can only collect herbs and exchange some food with the villagers. Now he is quite old.

Even the village chief would call him old brother.

“It gets worse in the back, and I can’t even get out of bed, but at least I know how to eat.”

“I don’t know why it became like this later…”

Even Li Jiajia didn’t know why his mother became the appearance of lack of intelligence.

“Where’s your dad?”

Chen Dong changed the subject, and he could see that Zhang Guixiang himself had no sense of self-help.

What caused a woman to give up her consciousness of survival?

Mentioning this, Chen Dong carefully observed that Li Jiajia’s immature fingers were clenched together, and his expression became angry: “Dead!”

Obviously the little girl didn’t want to mention this topic.

“Jiajia, do you want your mother to get better as soon as possible?”

Li Jiajia nodded vigorously: “Think, Uncle Chen, as long as you can save my mother, you can let me do anything.”

Only at this time will Li Jiajia’s face show the panic and fear he should have at this age.

Obviously she is very afraid of losing her mother, maybe this is also related to her and her mother’s fate.

“Then you can cooperate with Uncle Chen’s questions? Perhaps the reason why your mother became like this can be found in these questions.”



Li Jiajia bit her lower lip and nodded.

“Then tell Uncle Chen, where did your father go?”

“He has gone out to work and has not returned for seven years.”

The news is exactly the same as the village chief said. It seems that Li Jiajia’s father has never come back.

According to the village chief, because the village is really too poor, and these people have been trapped here all their lives.

In order to improve the quality of life of future generations, since ten years ago, the village will gather some money every year to let young and promising young people go out to work.

But not all young people have such opportunities. After all, everyone has limited money, so there are only five such places per year.

The village chief takes the lead to select these five young people who are going to work. These five young people must be young and strong, no more than 30 years old, and need flexible brains and sharp hands and feet.

Only in this way can we survive in the outside society.

All young people who go out to work must come back once a year.

Li Jiajia’s father happened to be among them.

However, Li Jiajia’s father had been away for seven years. It has been seven years since Li Jiajia wanted to come to Li Jiajia. It is normal for him to have no feelings between his father and daughter.

Chen Dong already understands the general situation, but Zhang Guixiang’s symptoms are indeed a bit tricky. He doesn’t have any equipment at hand now, so he can only make basic judgments by knowing his medical skills.
