Chapter 149: Chapter 146: Nose More Sensitive Than a Dog’s [890+ Votes]

——————

Zhang Shanni thought that this matter should have ended here.

Little did she know, in less than half an hour, the little boy actually ran towards her with tears on his face, standing in front of her with his head bowed, crying and saying, "Sister, please, save Little Yaya!"

This caused the passengers who were sleeping in a daze nearby to be woken up, all looking over here with strange expressions.

"What happened?" Zhang Shanni frowned, while her spiritual power enveloped the two men who were following closely behind the little boy.

One was tall and extremely obese.

The other was short, clearly with a problem in his feet, walking with a limp.

"Little Yaya has a fever! Her face is so red, like a monkey’s butt, she has a fever! She’ll, she’ll become an idiot!"

"Did they send you over?"

At first glance, the two men did not look like good people.

Especially the tall and obese man, with a dark face and a scar on the side of his eyebrow, about two inches long, the scar looking extremely ferocious.

"No, no, they—are good people," the little boy seemed to recall something, swallowing his breath, "they are good people."

"Huh?" Good people?

Zhang Shanni looked at the little boy curiously, and since she was sitting down, their line of sight could meet normally.

The boy even nodded very seriously and affirmed, "They are good people. They will protect me and Yaya."

Zhang Shanni shifted her gaze, roughly understanding what the little boy meant, "So you came to..."

"Sister, we had no other choice, we were forced to think about stealing. If we don’t want to starve, we can only rely on ourselves. Little Ya, she, she is a little girl who was abandoned by her parents on the train..."

The boy’s eyes were red, staring intensely at Zhang Shanni, deeply feeling that this sister could ’help’ them.

Moreover, Little Yaya’s condition was extremely urgent, they couldn’t hesitate anymore, her whole body was feverish, completely red, and she was also deliriously speaking nonsense in her sleep. If they delayed any longer, it would be waiting for death or waiting to burn into dementia.

"She’s very seriously sick now, sister, do you have any medicine on you? Please..."

The boy decided to approach Zhang Shanni because his sensitive nose had detected the smell of medicine from her backpack!

It was true that he was hungry, but what was more unbearable than hunger, was seeing his closest friend so confused and facing life and death. Little Yaya had been by his side for three years, and they had a deep relationship; he couldn’t imagine what he would become if Yaya was no longer there...

"How did you know I have medicine?" Zhang Shanni sternly asked the little boy.

"Sister," the little boy, however, suddenly knelt in front of her with tears streaming down his face, pleading with her, "Please, save Yaya first, from now on Xiao Lei will listen to everything you say. She’s completely confused by the fever..."

"Go and bring her here." Zhang Shanni agreed straightforwardly.

Her spiritual power also noticed when the boy knelt down that the obese man had left for a moment and returned carrying a little girl about eight or nine years old.

Despite his obese appearance, his steps were very quick, obviously, he must have been trained, otherwise, with his physique, it would be impossible to achieve such agility.

The little boy, hearing Zhang Shanni’s agreement, said, "Thank you, sister, just a moment!" and with that, he ran off, just like Zhang Shanni had noticed, heading straight for the two suspicious men.

The boy saw Yaya being carried over and wanted to take her, but Fatty shook his head and refused.

As soon as the boy knelt down, the passengers around Zhang Shan Ni seemed to sense that something was about to happen, and one after another, they got up and left.

It was only Zhang Shan Ni who traveled so extravagantly, self-sufficient and well-prepared. Yet, standing under 5 foot 6 inches, this tomboy actually brought four large backpacks. Her surroundings and beneath her feet were stuffed full of parcels. No wonder this attracted thieves!

Fatty came over, without another word, he directly placed Little Yaya on an empty seat next to them.

He didn’t even say a word, just patted the boy on the head, and went off to stand by the side guarding with the limping man.

It seemed the two men also knew their intimidating appearance had a great deterrence on the weak. Those who initially had designs on Zhang Shan Ni now backed off completely. And those passengers who had left, seeing the situation like this, stood to one side, watching from a distance.

Zhang Shan Ni simply reached out to touch the little girl’s head, and indeed found her temperature extremely high. She had a thermometer prepared in her belongings, promptly took one out from her bag (since they were fragile, she had prepared three in different bags for emergencies), looked at the mercury level, shook it several times till it was low enough, and then directly placed it under the girl’s armpit.

Turning her head towards the boy, she said, "Go and prepare more warm water, let her drink more, otherwise she’ll either go delirious from the fever or die of thirst."

The essence of a feverish body is steaming away its fluids. The higher the fever, the more necessary it is to have the person drink warm water, and if still conscious, drinking hot water is actually better as it’s easier to sweat out.

"Oh, I understand. Just a moment." Xiao Lei, hearing this, immediately ran off.

At this time, Zhang Shan Ni was not in the mood to pay attention to what the two adults and the child were discussing. Instead, she took out the fever-reducing medicine she had specifically organized, gently broke it in half, the remaining half was put back into the medicine bag, taking only half in her hand.

Little Yaya was already deliriously feverish, occasionally uttering painful "uh, hum" sounds from her mouth, but the sounds were very blurred, and Zhang Shan Ni wasn’t inclined to listen clearly to what she was saying. Seeing that five minutes had passed, she took out the thermometer and saw it was actually 39.3 degrees!

At that time, a fever was still considered a serious illness. Unlike in later times, when every child with a fever seldom dropped below 39 degrees—a child’s fever reaching 40 degrees—truly frightening!

No wonder the little boy looked so distressed. If not for the chance of meeting her, and being on the train, this little girl would usually suffer from long-term consequences due to the severe fever!

Looking at Fatty and the limper, apart from their fierce appearance, Zhang Shan Ni could not discern any other capabilities they might have. On deeper thought, they really had no significant skills. If they did, they wouldn’t have allowed two children, one to be helpless with fever, the other to risk stealing medicine!

If at this moment, Zhang Shan Ni didn’t understand that the little boy wanted to steal her medicine, then she really would be foolish—after all, these drugs were mostly in such forms that they ’seldom’ emitted any scent.

Yet there were ’private medicines’ she had prepared later on, which indeed could give off a bit of a herbal scent. Unexpectedly, this boy’s nose was sharper than a dog’s!

It’s rare, but the boy indeed had clever plans.

Seeing Xiao Lei carrying over a large jug of water after, she immediately checked its temperature with her hand, feeling it was just right. She half-lifted Little Yaya, pried open her slack mouth, and poured the medicine mixed with warm water into her.

Fortunately, the little girl still had the instinct to swallow, and since the pill was small and mixed in the water, it fed in smoothly.

The fever-reducing medicine was just a common drug, and after feeding, it still needed time to take effect.

Zhang Shan Ni had done all she could, looking at the little girl’s delicate and flushed face, her heart softened, but she lacked any real feeling of sympathy.

There was simply too much suffering to sympathize with.

No matter the era, there are too many irresponsible parents who only give birth and neglect upbringing... It’s such parents that cause children to suffer.

All she could say was, this was fate.

Of course, those parents, equally, truly deserved to die.

Not treating all equally was a minor fault, but to give birth and then abandon is completely inhumane.

From the moment a fetus leaves the mother’s body, it’s a life. To bear a child and neglect it is no better than a beast.
