Chapter 152: Like an Allergy
The freshly caught fish is lively and kicking, but it is very cheap.
When paying, Shen Yitian couldn't help but sigh in her heart as she saw how much seafood she bought with such a small amount of money.
Fishermen work hard all day, risking their lives to catch only enough fish to feed themselves. How can this not be ironic?
Uncle Xu picked up all the seafood in a wooden barrel and followed Shen Yitian to deliver it to the yard where she lived.
But before they entered the village, they heard someone shouting that a child among the exiled prisoners had fainted.
Yue Niang's face changed, she looked at Shen Yitian and ran towards the open space over there.
Shen Yitian was also a little worried, so she asked Shengsheng to take Uncle Xu, who was delivering the seafood, back, and she went with Yue Niang.
When they arrived, other exiled prisoners who were going to learn to fish had also arrived.
A group of people gathered together, and they had no idea which child had fainted.
Shen Yitian looked left and right but didn't see Fugui'er and Song Xia'er. After glancing at Yue Niang, the two of them simultaneously squeezed into the crowd.
These exiled children were ostracizing Song Xiaer, and Shen Yitian had known this for a long time.
In fact, she wanted Song Xiaer and Fuguier to rent a yard in the morning, but Yue Niang disagreed, saying that children of such age should learn to take care of themselves.
The children were raised by Yue Niang, so Shen Yitian naturally wouldn't object to her approach. However, when she returned and didn't see the two children, Shen Yitian panicked.
"Fugui'er! Xia'er!" Yue Niang called out first, but everyone was talking about the child fainting, and they did not hear the voices of Fugui'er and Song Xia'er.
Yue Niang was extremely anxious and struggled to squeeze in. When she squeezed in and saw that the person who fainted was not Fuguier or Song Xiaer, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, her brows furrowed again.
"Longlong?" She took two steps forward and called out to the child lying on the ground with a rash all over his face.
Isn’t that child lying on the ground the child of her second sister-in-law, Fugui’er’s cousin Longlong?
At this time, her second sister-in-law, who also went to learn fishing, squeezed in. When she saw Longlong lying on the ground, she immediately started howling like a ghost.
"Oh, my Longlong, what happened to you?"
She staggered to Longlong, pushed away Yue Niang who wanted to take a look at Longlong, and knelt down with a thud.
Yue Niang was frightened by Long Long's fainting appearance, so she didn't care about her attitude.
So when she turned around, stood up and slapped Yue Niang, Yue Niang was still confused.
"You vicious woman, if you have any problem, just come to me. Why are you making things difficult for the child?" the woman cursed viciously.
Daya's mother and Shen Yitian supported Yue Niang together. Daya's mother widened her eyes and scolded her: "What are you crazy about? Didn't you see that the third sister-in-law just came here like you?"
"What do you mean she just came here? She is just jealous that I have a son, but she wants to help her concubine raise a bastard, so she wants to kill my Longlong." The woman was like a madman and didn't listen to what Dayaniang said at all.
Dayaniang had just had a fight with her in the morning, so of course she wouldn't be in a good mood with her now.
"It's okay for a person to be stupid, but what's scary is that he's stupid and bad. You treat Longlong as a treasure in your heart, and you think everyone is jealous of you, so you think Yue Niang wants to harm your precious baby." She sneered, with an expression as if she saw through the other person's thoughts.
In fact, she did see through this woman's mind.
In the early years, Daya's brother went to join the army, and Yue Niang had no children. Longlong was the only male in the family, and this woman wanted to be the boss at home.
She always says that Longlong is the only child in the family now, so he has to get any delicious food.
They had been enduring it all the time back then, but now they have all been exiled and the three families have split up. What reason do they have to endure it anymore?
"Madman." Yue Niang covered her beaten face and cursed angrily.
Longlong's mother couldn't hear anyone else's voice at all. She was convinced that it was Yue Niang who had harmed Longlong, and she was about to go up and scratch her with her fangs and claws.
Shen Yitian looked at Longlong's slightly swollen lips and the red pimples on his face and body, and her heart sank.
"What did he eat?" Shen Yitian asked.
Of course, this question was not directed at Longlong's mother. After all, she had just returned from learning fishing and knew nothing.
She was asking the children who were shivering nearby.
The children were now led by their parents, and when they met Shen Yitian's gaze, they couldn't help but burst into tears.
"It's none of our business, it's none of our business!" several children shouted in unison.
Shen Yitian felt overwhelmed and said, "I didn't say anything about your business. I just asked him what he ate."
When Longlong's mother heard that she was actually questioning the children, she turned around and started scolding her again.
"What to eat? What to eat? What can he eat? I went fishing with him this morning and only left him with a bag filled with clothes. There was no dry food. What else can he eat?"
The only thing that's scary is not having dry food. If they're eating the dry food they eat every day, there's no problem at all. The scariest thing is that when there's no dry food, the child will be so hungry that they won't know what to eat.
"Tell me, what did you eat today?" Shen Yitian walked up to a little girl and squatted down, trying her best to ask in a kind voice.
The little girl timidly hid behind her mother and did not dare to answer.
"I won't blame you. Tell me, did you eat something together?" Shen Yitian looked back at Longlong. The child's mouth seemed to be even more swollen.
She had just checked and Longlong's breathing was relatively stable. She couldn't figure out why this was happening, but Shen Yitian felt that this symptom was like an allergic reaction to something he had eaten.
The little girl's mother was quite reasonable. Seeing Shen Yitian asking in a gentle voice, she patted her child on the head and said, "Speak, don't be afraid."
The little girl looked up at her mother, then at Shen Yitian, and finally said timidly, "We went to the woods over there and picked up some yellow fruits on the ground to eat."
Yellow fruit...
"What does the fruit look like? Does it look like this?" Shen Yitian quickly drew something on the muddy ground with her hand and pointed at it and asked the little girl.
The little girl nodded: "Yeah, not as big as this, but it looks like this."
It’s indeed... mango.
Shen Yitian pursed her lips, immediately stood up and walked to Longlong.
Let’s not worry about what happens to Longlong’s mother for now. This child is a life after all. Shen Yitian can’t just watch him die from an allergy.
Fortunately, she had stockpiled anti-allergic drugs in her space, and Longlong's breathing was fine. His throat and esophagus should not be swollen. As long as he took the anti-allergic drugs, there should be no problem.
While Longlong's mother, Yue Niang and the others were still making a fuss and everyone's attention was not fully focused here, she gently helped Longlong up, stuffed a pill into his mouth and asked someone next to her to pass him a water bag.
Song Wanshi was not far away from her, and when she heard she wanted water, she immediately brought it over.
By the time Longlong's mother came to her senses, she had already swallowed the anti-allergic pills with water.
Longlong's mother didn't know what she was doing. She only saw her putting one hand on Longlong's chin and rushing over with a scream.
