The woman who was stopped was pushed down by someone. The Sixth Uncle was so angry that he pointed at her and asked, "What did you feed the child?"

A one-year-old child is at the age of being noisy, how could he not wake up after making so many noises for so many days? He must have been drugged.

Zhong Ruyi rushed over and took Lanlan from Zhong's mother's arms. She said to Chen Dongzhi, "Go find a doctor first. I'll wait for you at home."

"Okay." Chen Dongzhi left in a hurry.

Mrs. Zhong had just learned that her granddaughter had been stolen and was distraught, but now she had finally calmed down a little. She held her daughter's hand tightly, trying to find a glimmer of hope.

Lanlan kept her eyes closed and showed no signs of waking up. If her chest had not been still rising and falling, Mrs. Zhong would have thought that the child was gone.

The woman had her hands and feet tied, but she didn't show any fear or terror, and she even had a smile on her face.

"Mom, let's go home and wait for the doctor. As for her, let the village chief take care of her." Zhong Ruyi glanced at the woman and felt that there was something wrong with her expression, as if she was a little crazy.

The mother and daughter took their child home. Some of the others stayed to watch over them, while others followed them back.

Several aunts were standing in Zhong Ruyi's small courtyard, talking at once, "Look at this child sleeping so soundly, maybe he's been bewitched by the drug, feeding him some chicken shit can detoxify him!"

"Forget it! It's better to wait for the doctor to come. What if feeding chicken shit causes other problems?"

Li Guihua was at work when she heard that her niece had gotten into trouble. She dropped her work and hurried over. When she heard this, she rolled her eyes at the aunt.

Your children eat chicken shit!

The child was placed on Zhong Ruyi's bed, with her clothes torn open a little. A careful look revealed no injuries. Even though her clothes were torn open like this, Lanlan was still sleeping soundly.

"This child never slept so well in the past." Mother Zhong was worried and felt very nervous.

"If he still hasn't woken up after such a long time, it can only be that he was drugged or knocked unconscious." Zhong Ruyi wiped the sweat off the child's forehead, and soon Chen Dongzhi came back with the doctor.

The doctor stroked his beard, frowned, and felt the child's pulse for a long time before speaking, "Fortunately, the person who gave the medicine was kind and didn't use a large amount, otherwise the child would have suffered."

He named several herbs and asked them to write them down and dig them up. "She is asleep now and will wake up at night. When she wakes up, boil the herbs I just mentioned into water and let her drink it. Drink it for three to five days and the medicinal properties will be eliminated."

"Okay, thank you." Chen Dongzhi sent the man out and gave the doctor the consultation fee, but the doctor confiscated it. "I heard that there is a plaque in your village given by the county magistrate? Can you take me to see it?"

After sending the doctor to Zhao Ganwei, Chen Dongzhi did not go back, but went to dig herbs in the ditches, rivers and mountains at the foot of the mountains.

The woman who drugged the girl was also recognized by the people from the same village who came to see the plaque with her. "This is the woman of the butcher in our village." The person who spoke showed some regret on his face. "Some years ago, my daughter was taken away by a wolf. She was only a little over one year old. When they found her, only her head was left. She has been crazy since then. I don't know how she escaped today."

After these words were spoken, the villagers of Xinghua Village, who had been angry, showed some sympathy on their faces, but they were still angry.

"She lost her child, so she came to steal our village's children? Can't she have another one?"

"That's right! No matter how pitiful a child is, you can't steal another person's child. Just imagine how sad her parents would be if her child was stolen!"

No matter what people around her said about her, the woman never spoke, with a smile on her face and her eyes staring at people.

Tiedan, who came to the village chief's house with his grandfather and father, was frightened by her eyes. He pouted and felt like crying. He reached out and tugged at Zhong Laoda's clothes, "Dad, I want to go home. I'm scared."

Boss Zhong patted his head perfunctorily and continued to talk to the village chief, "Let's detain him today and see how my Lanlan is doing. If she's still not well tomorrow, I'll take people to her house to seek justice!"

"Yes! We can't let this matter go like this! Someone has stolen a child and came to my house!" Father Zhong was also very angry. He had just discussed with the agricultural official, Mr. Huang, to come to his field tomorrow to help him figure out why his corn grew so poorly this year. However, just after he was happy for a while, someone came to say that his granddaughter had been stolen!

The second brother and his wife were still doing business in the town. At noon, Zhong Ruyi asked Jiang Qin to go to the braised food store to tell them to come back and visit.

When it was almost dark, the two came back. Liu Yu Niang's eyes were red and she just forced a smile when she met Zhong's mother's guilty eyes.

Fortunately, what the doctor said soon came true. Lanlan woke up before it was completely dark. As soon as she woke up, she dry heaved twice and cried incoherently, asking for her mother and grandmother.

The herbs that Chen Dongzhi found have been boiled into water and are now being heated in the pot so that the child can drink it as soon as he wakes up.

After being coaxed into drinking a bowl of medicine, the child saw that his parents, grandfather and grandmother were all there and quickly forgot the discomfort he felt when he just woke up and became lively again.

I played around with my brothers and sisters without any care, and the laughter dispelled the gloom in the house.

The woman's family searched for their daughter-in-law for a whole day but couldn't find her. They were extremely anxious and learned from a fellow villager who had just returned from Xinghua Village that their daughter-in-law had stolen a child from a family in Xinghua Village and was now being detained by them.

The woman's husband wanted to go out and bring the girl back, but the villagers stopped him and said, "It's useless for you to go. The child was drugged by your wife and is still unconscious! His family may come over tomorrow and ask for money. It's better for you to borrow some money now, otherwise you may not be able to get the money tomorrow and the person won't pay you back."

The man looked at him with red eyes, "Really? You can return the person to him tomorrow?" If this was true, he would kowtow and apologize as long as he could return the person to him.

"Really! Go get the money!"

After coaxing Lanlan, who was tired from playing, to sleep, Zhong's mother found her second daughter-in-law who was lighting a fire in the kitchen with a guilty look on her face.

But before she could say anything, Liu Yu Niang stopped her, "Mom, I know what you are going to say, but it's not your fault. You have taken good care of Lan Lan." The child did not become unfamiliar with them just because his parents only came back once a month. No matter how they came back, the child would still smile and be affectionate with them.

Mother Zhong wiped her eyes. No matter how many times some words were said, she would still feel useful and that the efforts were worth it.

The next morning, the Zhong family, Zhao Ganwei and other villagers went to Niujiao Village in a mighty procession. Niujiao Village was far away, so it was still dim when they arrived.

In Niujiao Village, the man borrowed twenty taels of silver overnight and stayed up all night waiting for the people from Xinghua Village to arrive.
