"Sān yātou returned to say that Huahua had fallen into the river at the village entrance!"

"Uh?"

Everyone gasped in surprise.

"How is Huahua now?" Zhou Wang asked urgently.

Ping'er said, "This is all thanks to Elder Brother Yongxian. He jumped into the river and brought HuaHua back up. He pressed out a lot of water from her stomach. She was still crying earlier."

"She must be frozen stiff; her whole body is trembling!" Ping'er said.

Yang Ruqing said, “Quickly, take her to my mother-in-law's room. Her room has a heated kang!”

>

Tuoba Xian was sitting quietly in the room, reading.

From time to time, she would glance at the playing camel calf and Da Zhi by her side, a look of serenity and love gracing her face.

Yang Ruqing came into the room first, and told Tuoba Xian the ins and outs of the matter in a few words.

Tuoba Xian quickly put down her book and stood up, "Quick, tell them to bring Huahua in. My kang is warm and cozy, let the child lie down."

Tuo Ba Xian was there tidying the bedding, while Yang Ruoqing went to the next room and added another log to the stove, so that the fire would continue to send heat to the kang bed in the next room.

Because Tubo Xian came from the Great Liao, she was not used to the damp and cold winter weather when she first arrived in Changping Village that year, so she often fell ill.

Yang Ruqin and Luofeng Tang were both very anxious. After discussing it together, the couple specially designed a room for Tuo Baxian.

The house imitated the style of the north, with a kang set up to keep Tuo Ba Xian warm throughout the winter, so she could burrow on the kang all day long.

It turns out that since the kang was installed, Tubo Xian has had much fewer illnesses in the winter.

This is a good thing. During the day, you can sit on it and put a small table on top for doing needlework, eating meals, all nice and warm.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

At night when I sleep, it's like lying on an electric heating pad, warm from head to toe.

Of course, this is also true for Tubo Xian, as well as young people with strong firepower like Yang Ruqing and Luo Fengtang. They are not afraid of the cold in winter and rarely sit in a warm tub.

When Yang Ruqing put a pile of firewood in the stove and returned to the warm room next door, Ping'er had already changed Huahua into clean and dry undergarments and tucked her into bed.

Tuo Ba Xian and Xiao Huan, along with little Hua Hua, all stood by the bed, gazing at Hua Hua lying inside. Her brows were tightly knitted, her lips were blue, and her whole body trembled.

"Such a cold day, falling into the river would strip even an adult to the bone, let alone such a small child," said Tuo Ba Xian.

“Still, I’d better have the old village doctor come and take a look. Only then would I feel at ease with some medicine,” she added.

Ping'er sat sideways on the kang, her hands gently cupping Huahua's face, weeping uncontrollably and losing all composure.

Yang Yongxian walked over and said to Ping'er, "Miss Ping'er, don't panic. I'll go call the village doctor right away."

After finishing his words, he turned and ran out of the house, just brushing shoulders with Yang Ruqing who was coming in from outside.

"Hey, big brother, put on your coat..." Yang Ruqing called out to him.

But, usually this mild-mannered big brother, this time he ran like he had a cheat code, vanishing in a flash. Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

"It's better not to wear that outer garment, it's soaked through." Tuo Bu Xian added.

Zhou Wang said, "Yong Xian running out like that will catch a cold himself. I saw earlier that his padded clothes and cotton pants were all soaked through."

“I’m going to go after him and have him change his clothes at home.”

>

Zhou Wang said, and also turned to run out of the house.

Xiaohuan held the child and comforted Ping'er, who was crying uncontrollably.

>

Yang Ruqing let Xiaohua and Xiaoduo take Luobaobao and Dazhi to play in the courtyard next door, to Mrs. Sun's house. She herself came to the edge of the kang.

He raised his hand and touched Xiaohua's forehead. The child's forehead was now cold, as were her cheeks and lips.

As for treating wind-cold, Yang Ruqing was not a professional doctor.

But some basic things, she understood better than Ping'er and the others.

“Ping’er, don’t cry now. Let’s do something useful instead!” Yang Ruqing said.

Ping'er lifted a tear-stained face and looked at Yang Ruoqing, her eyes full of confusion.

Yang Ruqing said, "Hua Hua's hair is still wet now. Cold air will enter the body, quickly get a dry towel to wipe her hair dry."

"Go and get her some red sugar ginger water to boil in the kitchen. It will help dispel the chill."

“I'll get you a tissue!” Xiaohuan said.

"Xiao Huan, it's inconvenient for you to be holding a child, let me do it!" Tuo Ba Xian stopped Xiao Huan and got up to pull open the cupboard and took out a stack of dry tissues.

Ping'er stood up and wiped the tears from the corner of her eye.

"I'm going to make some ginger water," she said.

“You stay and keep Huahua company, and by the way, dry her hair for me. I’ll go make some dinner,” Yang Ruqing said.

By the time Yang Ruqing brought back the ginger water sweetened with red sugar, Old Village Doctor Fu Bo had been escorted out of the house by Yang Yongxian and Zhou Wang.

Besides the people who were there before, several more had joined them inside the house.

Mrs. Sun and Grand-aunt Sun, as well as Xiao Ya Xue, have all arrived.

Of course, there is absolutely one person who cannot be missing, and that is Liu Shi.

Liu shi loved to watch the excitement, wherever there was excitement, she would definitely appear there.

At this moment, she also stood up and followed Fu Bo out.

Seeing this situation, Yang Ruqing guessed that... the diagnosis was over?

"Uncle Fu, how's Huahua doing?" Yang Ruqing also hurried over and asked anxiously.

Uncle Fu was explaining something to Yang Yongxian. Upon hearing this, he turned his head to Yang Ruqing and said, "The child is quite cold, I've given her some medicine to dispel the chill. There's probably still a lot of water in her stomach. If she has a stomachache later, take another kind of medicine as well."

"These two days are critical, watch closely. Fever and stomach ache are normal, but if it gets worse, come find me anytime!" he said.

This statement made Yang Ruqing's heart sink a few points.

On the sidelines, Liu shi mumbled and said: "One year during the 20th day of December, the pond at the village entrance froze over. I don't know whose piglet ran onto the ice and fell into an ice hole."

>"It was later fished out, a pile of firewood was set up to roast it, but the piglet still died. Tsk tsk, it was freezing cold that day, HuaHua was only six years old, it's hard to say…"

"Shut your beak!" Yang Ruqing yelled directly at Liu.

Here is your translated text: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"If you can't help, get out of the way! If you can't speak properly, just shut up!"

She unleashed her fury on Liu without any hesitation.

Earlier, she went to the backyard to cook red sugar ginger water. Sanya was wiping tears in the yard.

She took the three frightened little girls to the backyard kitchen to comfort them, and asked them why they went to play in the river at the back of the village.

From San'er, Yang Ruqing learned that Huahua had previously played house with San'er in the courtyard of Lao Yang's house, washing clothes.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Then Liu found them too noisy, so she sent them to play dress-up by the river. There's no water here, what are they messing about with?

This sentence, completely and utterly, is in Liu's speaking style.

Yang Ruqing believes that San'er wouldn't lie.

Perhaps that remark was just a casual dismissal to Mrs. Liu, but in the ears of two six-year-old girls, it became absolute truth.

Therefore, the two people went to the riverbank as planned, and then the following events happened.
