Chapter 1346: Catching the Child Trafficker
Seeing him drink some water, Liu Chuxue also set her mind at ease.
She pulled a stool over: "Sleep, I'll stay here watching you; once you're asleep, I'll go out to find a local to exchange for a chicken."
Fu Yan Cheng, his face full of worry, said: "How about I find someone to accompany you?"
Yet as he spoke these words, Fu Yan Cheng's eyelids were already fighting from sleepiness; Liu Chuxue knew the space's pool water had taken effect, and only after seeing Fu Yan Cheng fall asleep did she leave the ward.
Before entering the ward, she had already sought out the Physician; seeing it was late, she rose and left the ward.
Once out of the hospital, she found a quiet spot, took a bicycle from the space, and went straight to Baifu Village.
She found a matron to arrange an exchange for a chicken, along with several eggs.
After returning to the hospital, she easily found the canteen director and asked to borrow the stove.
Just as before, this stove certainly couldn't be used for free; the money owed would naturally not be a penny short.
Using the canteen's pots and pans, she boiled water and plucked the feathers, then rented a large clay pot, chopped the chicken, washed it clean, and set it to stew.
The reason for making the trip to Baifu Village was naturally to provide cover for the items in the space.
Confirming that no one in the canteen was paying attention to her at that moment, she took a few dates from the space and threw them into the clay pot; so much blood had been lost, who knew how long it would take to replenish it.
Given the incident where Director Hu's mother-in-law stole the chicken soup, she dared not leave for even a moment, fearing someone might, like that old woman, steal a drink of the chicken soup and then add several bowls of plain water, which would be utterly disgusting.
Thinking that after receiving news of Fu Yan Cheng's injury, she had been too hurried to tell her in-laws, yet this matter couldn't be hidden; just as she was pondering when to go out and make a phone call, she heard a familiar voice: "Liu Chuxue, why are you here?"
Liu Chuxue turned her head and saw Tao Saozi: "Sister-in-law, Fu Yan Cheng was injured, so I came to take care of him; why are you here?"
Tao Saozi sighed: "My Yurong had a fever of over forty degrees last night; I discovered it in the middle of the night and hurriedly brought her to the hospital."
Hearing that little girl Yurong was hospitalized with a fever, Liu Chuxue asked: "How is the child?"
Tao Saozi nodded lightly: "The fever went down after we arrived last night, but during the day today the child still had no energy, and it relapsed several times; she just fell asleep, so I came over thinking to cook some millet porridge for her."
"Who is watching the child then?"
"I entrusted her to a big sister in the same ward to keep an eye on her; I'll go up in a moment."
"Sister-in-law, give me the things; I'll cook them for you. You hurry up and go watch the child; at this time, children cling more to their parents; if she wakes up and doesn't see you, it won't be good. Anyway, I have to stay here watching the chicken soup, so it's just a matter of convenience."
Tao Vice-Captain had also gone on a mission; now Tao Saozi was raising two children alone. Thinking of the hardships of a military wife, she sighed lightly in her heart.
To everyone's surprise, fortunately Tao Saozi didn't stand on ceremony with Liu Chuxue; after handing the things to Liu Chuxue, she returned to the ward first.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw someone reaching out to hug her sleeping daughter, while the person she had entrusted was not in the ward at all; she let out a fierce roar: "What are you doing?"
As the words left her mouth, she ran over, pushed that person with her hand, and immediately shielded her daughter's bedside: "Who are you?"
That person, looking full of guilt, turned and tried to run.
Seeing the man leave the ward, Tao Saozi chased to the doorway: "Catch the child trafficker, catch the child trafficker!"
In an instant, quite a few people appeared in the corridor on that floor: "Where is he?"
Tao Saozi panted heavily: "He went downstairs; that person was wearing a grey, semi-new Zhongshan suit; absolutely don't let him escape."
