Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

Early in the morning of the second day, the first rays of light appeared in the sky.

The sky gradually changed from dark blue to light purple, and finally merged into a light golden color.

After morning exercises, several children each did their own work.

Only Ercheng was still squatting in horse stance.

Now he can fully hold on. In the past, his legs would tremble before the time was up, and he would fall to the ground exhausted.

Now, he seemed to be used to it and could complete the half-hour horse stance every day with ease.

You can even practice more when you have nothing to do.

After feeding the chickens and rabbits, Sicheng and Shanshan went to the chicken coop and took out the round eggs one by one.

"1, 2, 3...6."

"Mom, our chickens laid six eggs today. The insects I caught must be nutritious, so our chickens are so hardworking, right?"

Xia Shengsheng had just come back from fetching water. As soon as she entered the yard, she heard Sicheng shouting excitedly.

"Yes, chickens love to eat bugs. Sicheng catches so many bugs every day to feed the chickens. If they are happy, they will definitely lay more eggs!"

Normally I can pick up three to four eggs every day, but today I picked up six, which is quite a lot.

Although he can pick up a few eggs every day, Xia Shengsheng has almost no habit of saving eggs.

I make some every day, sometimes steamed egg cakes, sometimes scrambled eggs, and sometimes I save enough for one person to boil.

Anyway, eggs and milk are things that are eaten more often than meat.

"Mom, I'm awake! Come and see!"

Liu Yiyi ran out of the house. The one she said woke up must be the boy who woke up.

Xia Shengsheng put down the bucket and hurried in.

Looking at the boy sitting there obediently, just looking at her straight, he was not as irritable as yesterday.

"How's it going? Are you uncomfortable anywhere else?"

The boy shook his head. Listening to Xia Shengsheng's gentle voice, he felt more secure and no longer felt sad.

"mother?"

The boy's voice sounded, causing Xia Shengsheng and several children standing at the door to look at him in surprise.

Seeing that no one responded to him, the boy called out to Xia Shengsheng again.

"mother……"

Xia Shengsheng touched the boy's head. He didn't have a fever. Then why was he talking nonsense?

"Did you call me the wrong name? I'm not your mother. Do you still know who you are?"

Xia Shengsheng deeply suspected that the child seemed to have been stimulated and had a short-term memory disorder.

The boy looked at Xia Shengsheng in confusion, then shook his head, his mind going blank.

But he had only one thought, that the gentle woman in front of him was his mother, and he knew nothing else.

If Xia Shengsheng heard the boy’s thoughts, she would definitely say: You think too much, I’m really not gentle at all.

"Mom, let me call Grandpa Zhao to come and take a look." Ercheng said with some concern.

Xia Shengsheng nodded, and Ercheng ran out.

Sicheng and Shanshan suddenly became wary of the boy sitting on the kang.

The two children moved to Xia Shengsheng's side and held onto the corner of her clothes tightly, as if they were afraid that someone would snatch their mother away from them.

Gollum~

The sudden voice broke the awkwardness.

Xia Shengsheng realized belatedly that the boy had not eaten for several days and had been relying entirely on soup and water for nutrition these days. He must be starving.

"Yiyi, check if the porridge is ready. If it is, give me a bowl first."

"Okay, I'll go take a look right now."

There was rice porridge cooking in the pot, and a few eggs were also cooked together with the porridge. Xia Shengsheng had originally wanted to bake a few pies after fetching water, but now she could only serve some porridge to the boy.

Ercheng ran in from outside, "Mom, no one is at Grandpa Zhao's house!"

Xia Shengsheng just remembered that Doctor Zhao might have gone up the mountain again at this time.

Then we can only wait until he comes back.

"Let's go check it out later. I guess he hasn't come back from the mountain yet."

Ercheng nodded, and several people stared at the boy sitting on the kang motionlessly.

The boy's eyes did not move, as if he could only see Xia Shengsheng.

Even when Liu Yiyi brought the dried porridge over to him, he remained indifferent.

Xia Shengsheng could only take the porridge and feed it to him spoonful by spoonful.

The boy was quite obedient and drank everything Xia Shengsheng fed him.

"Drink this first. You just woke up and can't eat too much at once. I'll make it for you when you're hungry later."

Xia Shengsheng wanted to go out with the bowl to cook, but the boy grabbed her arm.

"Mom, don't you want me anymore?"

Every time the boy called "Mom", Xia Shengsheng did not respond.

In his opinion, he felt that his mother didn't want him anymore, so she didn't respond.

Xia Shengsheng looked back at the boy who looked confused and aggrieved.

In order to avoid irritating him, she comforted him softly, "How could that be! Mommy won't abandon you. Just lie down for a while! The doctor will be back to check on you soon. Be good!"

Comforted by Xia Shengsheng, the boy obediently lay back down.

The boy Xia Shengsheng closed his eyes before walking out of the room.

Liu Yiyi and Liu Ercheng followed closely behind. Liu Sicheng and Liu Shanshan glanced at the boy who fell asleep again.

A sense of crisis suddenly arose, and he snorted at the boy before leaving.

Doctor Zhao came back after Xia Shengsheng and his friends had finished breakfast.

Ercheng saw Doctor Zhao coming down the mountain from a distance.

He didn't even wait for Doctor Zhao to go home and took him directly to his home.

After Dr. Zhao examined the boy carefully, he gave him a few more injections in the head before calling it a day.

When the boy was about to receive the injection, he refused to let Doctor Zhao touch him. Later, he calmed down after being comforted by Xia Shengsheng.

"Doctor Zhao, what's wrong with this child? Didn't you say yesterday that he was not sick?

Look at him, he must be seriously ill, right?"

Xia Shengsheng waited until Doctor Zhao left the room before asking, for fear that what the boy heard might be detrimental to his recovery.

Doctor Zhao stroked his beard. "You were fine yesterday, but that doesn't mean you're fine today. Can I take care of someone for the rest of their life if I can only treat a disease?"

Xia Shengsheng suddenly felt that Doctor Zhao was quite helpless. In just one day, the patient went from being healthy to being sick. Wasn’t there something wrong with his diagnosis?

"Then can you tell me what illness he has today?"

Doctor Zhao's diagnosis was the same as Xia Shengsheng's guess.

After a person is subjected to a great stimulus, the memory in his brain will become disordered, and he will only remember the people or things he is most familiar with.

But this memory loss is temporary, not permanent.

You can only rely on gradual recuperation, and things will get better little by little.

But no one can say exactly when it will get better.

As for why the boy was only familiar with Xia Shengsheng and thought Xia Shengsheng was his mother, no one knew why.

Maybe Xia Shengsheng saved him, which made people feel a natural sense of dependence on him.

"What are you going to do with him now that he's like this? Keep him forever?"

Doctor Zhao actually didn't quite agree with Xia Shengsheng keeping the child.

He also heard Ercheng talk about how this child came to Xia Shengsheng's house.

Based on his intuition after living for so many years, this child's identity and background must not be simple.

If I stay, I’m afraid it will bring trouble to this small family in the future.

Xia Shengsheng actually understood, but what could he do now? He had originally thought that if he could take care of him for a few days, he could go to his relatives if they were still alive.

But it’s different now. The boy can’t remember anything and he is so young, so we can’t kick him out of the house.

I can only stay here for now and make plans after the boy recovers his memory!
