Chapter 140
140 Chapter 139, Poisoning
Li Xu hugged Ji Yuanyuan with some heartache and gently stroked her back. She looked at the policewoman with some sincerity and said, “Officer, my daughter really doesn’t know anything anymore. Can we go home now?”
The policewoman flipped through the statement and felt that she had asked almost everything she could.
The child was indeed very frightened. She immediately said, “Alright, you can go back. Leave your phone number, if there are any problems, I will call you again.”
Li Xu wrote down her own phone number and handed it to the policewoman. After thanking her, she carried Ji Yuanyuan out.
Outside, Zhang Kun, Li Lei, and Li Yong were all there.
When they saw Li Xu carrying Ji Yuanyuan out, the three of them quickly surrounded her.
“How is it? Can we go?” Zhang Kun asked in a low voice.
Li Xu nodded, “We can go!”
If they could go now, it meant that nothing had happened. The few of them heaved a sigh of relief.
There were only three bicycles. Zhang Kun reached out his hand tentatively, “Yuanyuan, can Uncle Zhang give you a ride?”
He did not have much hope. After all, the child had been frightened. Now, she would only feel safe when she was next to the person closest to her.
At worst, he would let Li Xu ride with Ji Yuanyuan on the bicycle while he sat in the back seat of Li Yong’s bicycle.
However, what Zhang Kun did not expect was that Ji Yuanyuan actually obediently opened her hands toward him.
This was also something that the three siblings of the Li family did not expect.
Ji Yuanyuan was willing to open her arms to Zhang Kun at this time. This proved that Zhang Kun was also very trustworthy in her heart.
Zhang Kun’s eyes were a little sore. He reached out and took Ji Yuanyuan’s hand and placed her on the seat in front of him. In his heart, he secretly made up his mind, ‘I must make up for Yuanyuan’s missing fatherly love!’
The few of them returned home together. After tossing and turning for the whole afternoon, it was already past four in the afternoon when they reached home.
The moment they entered the house, Liu Guihua said to Li Xu, “Alright, bring Yuanyuan to the west room to sleep for a while. She had no afternoon nap either. After tossing and turning for the whole afternoon, the child must be tired.”
Li Xu acknowledged and brought Ji Yuanyuan to the west room.
Ji Zi’ang was about to follow them in when Li Yong grabbed his back.
Ji Zi’ang turned around pitifully, “I want to sleep too!”
“Why are you so pale? Are you not feeling well?” Li Yong asked with a frown.
The moment Li Yong spoke, the others finally noticed Ji Zi’ang.
Liu Guihua was shocked and grabbed Ji Zi’ang, “What’s wrong? Where are you feeling unwell?”
The whole afternoon, everyone was busy looking for Ji Yuanyuan. In addition, Ji Z’iang did not speak, so no one noticed him.
Ji Zi’ang held his stomach and said in a low voice, “I have diarrhea…”
He had been having diarrhea since noon, but seeing that everyone was so anxious about his sister’s matter, he was too embarrassed to say anything.
“What did you eat?” Zhang Kun hurriedly asked.
Ji Zi’ang thought about it carefully, “In the morning, I ate a candied haw, a roasted sweet potato, a few pieces of candy, a handful of melon seeds, an apple, two bananas, and I think I ate a few oranges. In the afternoon, I ate some eggplants, that’s all!”
Hearing Ji Zi’ang count, Li Yong really did not know whether to laugh or cry, “How can you not have diarrhea after eating so many messy things?”
Zhang Kun looked at Ji Zi’ang’s pale lips and picked him up worriedly, “I’ll bring him to the clinic to take a look.”
Li Yong quickly took the key, “I’ll go with you.”
The two of them brought Ji Zi’ang to the clinic in the town.
Li Xu and Ji Yuanyuan were in the west room, so they did not hear their conversation.
Li Xu placed Ji Yuanyuan on the bed and gently coaxed her, “Are you sleepy? Let’s sleep for a while, okay? We can eat after we wake up!”
Ji Yuanyuan was not actually sleepy, but her head hurt a little.
She closed her eyes and softly nodded.
Today’s incident made her realize a problem.
Her space could provide her with convenience, but it could not protect her.
When this matter was over, she would have to discuss it with her mother and enroll in a taekwondo class or something.
There were many dangers around a girl. Learning something to protect oneself was beneficial and not harmful!
With this thought in mind, she quickly fell asleep.
Ji Yuanyuan was indeed tired and fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up again, she was woken up by Li Xu.
Li Xu saw that she had opened her eyes, kissed her forehead, and dug her out from under the blanket. As she spoke, she helped her put on her coat.
“You can’t sleep anymore, if you sleep any longer, you won’t be able to sleep at night.”
Ji Yuanyuan yawned and obediently stretched out her hand, allowing Li Xu to dress her.
Ji Yuanyuan looked up and saw the clear expression on Li Xu’s face. She knew that she had not slept at all.
It made sense when she thought about it. After experiencing this incident, her heart must have been a mess. How could she fall asleep?
Only she was so magnanimous that she actually fell asleep.
Li Xu carried Ji Yuanyuan out and went to the kitchen. Liu Guihua looked at Ji Yuanyuan and asked in a low voice, “You don’t have a nightmare, right?”
Li Xu shook her head, and Liu Guihua heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. It seems like she’s not scared. Just right, the food is ready!”
Li Xu looked around and saw Ji Zixuan sitting in front of the stove, obediently lighting the fire. Li Zhiming squatted outside to smoke while Li Lei squatted beside him. It was unknown what the two were talking about.
Zhang Kun, Li Yong, and Ji Zi’ang were not around.
“Where’s Zi’ang?” Li Xu asked in a low voice.
Liu Guihua was afraid that she would worry, so she said, “He has a stomachache. Xiao Zhang and Xiao Yong, take him to the clinic to get treated!”
“Stomachache?” Li Xu frowned.
Liu Guihua nodded, “It doesn’t look serious, they’ll probably be back in a while.”
Even so, Li Xu still kept thinking about it, and her brows were furrowed tightly.
About ten minutes later, when Liu Guihua’s rice was served, Zhang Kun and Li Yong came back with Ji Zi’ang.
Zhang Kun walked in front with Ji Zi’ang on his back, while Li Yong walked behind with a small bag in his hand. It looked like there was medicine in it.
After entering the house, Li Xu quickly reached out and took Ji Zi’ang over. She placed him on the heated brick bed and asked in a low voice, “What’s going on? Is it serious?”
Li Yong sneered, “Let him tell you himself what’s going on?”
Li Xu looked at Ji Zi’ang and saw that he looked a little embarrassed.
“The doctor said that the eggplant is poisonous, so you can’t eat too much!”Ji Zi’ang said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Li Xu heaved a sigh of relief and did not know whether to laugh or cry, “How many did you eat in the afternoon?”
At noon, when Ji Zi’ang knew that the eggplant could be eaten raw, he crawled into the eggplant ground and only came out after a long while.
Ji Zi’ang shook his head and leaned his head on Li Xu’s shoulder in embarrassment and annoyance, “I don’t remember!”
Li Xu Sighed and reached out to touch Ji Ziang’s head.
“Fortunately, Yuanyuan and Zixuan did not eat much in the afternoon. Did you remember what the doctor told you?” Zhang Kun asked Ji Zi’ang.
Hearing this, Ji Zi’ang raised his head and nodded vigorously, “Drink more water, eat the medicine after a meal, and take one tablet at a time!”
Zhang Kun smiled approvingly, “Yes, you’re right!”
