Chapter 249 They Came Crying Again
Gu Wen's first reaction was disbelief, but his brother said that the whole village knew about it, so it couldn't be false.
Not only the people of Gujia Village, but even the Gu family members were surprised. Scarface moved a stool over and stared intently at Lin Cai.
Wherever Lin Cai went, his gaze followed, never leaving her for a moment.
It was very uncomfortable to have someone staring at her like that, so Lin Cai stopped and turned around: "Just ask me whatever you want to ask, you don't need to stare at me like that."
"What method did you use to save people before? Why was it so effective?"
"It's just a common rescue method. As long as the person has just drowned, you can use that method after pulling them out of the water. But it won't work if the person has been in the water for a long time."
"Why not for a long time?"
"If too much time passes, the person will have already died. Unless a deity comes, there's no way to snatch them back from the underworld."
She was able to save that child today only because there was still hope for the child; if it had been any longer, even she wouldn't have been able to help.
After listening to Lin Cai's words, Scarface fell silent. Just then, Lin Bao rushed in from outside.
"Little sister, little sister, are you alright? Did that Zhang woman do anything to you? If she dared to lay a hand on you, Third Brother will definitely skin her man alive."
He wouldn't hit women, but he would hit men. Anyway, Zhang had a man with him, so if that woman went crazy on his younger sister, he would break that woman's man's legs.
Lin Bao came over, and Lin Long came over as well. He was relieved to see Lin Cai standing there safely.
"What exactly happened? How did the Zhang family's child fall into the water? And how did they end up coming to the Gu family?"
"They also said that you saved the child, and that the child was already dead. So how did you wake the child up?"
Lin Bao rattled off a barrage of questions, leaving Lin Cai unsure which to answer first. She looked at Lin Bao and said, "Third Brother, can you ask me one question at a time? I don't know the answers to your questions, so how am I supposed to answer them first?"
"No rush, no rush, I'll answer them one by one. Anyway, I have time today and can listen to your answers slowly."
Hearing this, Lin Cai's lips twitched. Xiao Chunhua ran over and grabbed Lin Bao: "Third Uncle, Third Uncle, come here and listen to me. I can answer you."
After hearing this, Lin Bao stopped bothering his sister and went to the other side with Xiao Chunhua.
Lin Long wasn't as easily fooled as he was. He looked at his younger sister and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Lin Bao could be taken away by Xiao Chunhua, but Lin Long couldn't be taken away. Lin Cai briefly told Lin Long what had happened before.
After listening, Lin Long frowned: "The Zhang family's child fell into the water, so why did they bring the child here to you?"
Lin Cai shook her head. She didn't know about this either; she hadn't even had a chance to ask.
After Xiaochunhua explained things to Lin Bao, she ran over to tell Lin Cai, "Mom, I know, I know, I know what happened..."
After understanding the situation, Lin Long's face darkened. The child had only been here once, yet they blamed the Gu family. The people of Gu Family Village were becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.
They thought the person had been saved and the matter was over, but unexpectedly, there was a knock on the Gu family's door in the middle of the night.
The loud banging sounds echoed in the quiet night as Big Gray emerged from its den, its wary eyes fixed on the doorway.
Gu Dachui heard the noise and came out of the house, opening the door before he had even buttoned up his clothes.
He had just opened the door when someone rushed towards him, crying, "Help! Help! Please save the genius! Please save him..."
It was nighttime, and there were no lights outside, so it was impossible to see who it was. Gu Dachui only saw a figure, and when it lunged at him, he hid to the side.
Hearing the voice, Gu Dachui frowned: "Aunt Zhang? It's so late now, what are you doing here again?"
Upon hearing the noise, Zhang Cui quickly got up and ran outside. When she came back in, she was holding her son, Tiancai, in her arms.
"Big Hammer, help! I'll do anything to save him, please save my son..."
When Gu Dachui saw that Zhang Cui had brought the child over so late, and remembered that the child had just been rescued during the day, he immediately took the child and carried him into the house.
Lin Cai was already awake. She woke up when she heard the knock on the door, but it was really cold outside, so she stayed inside and didn't go out.
When she saw Gu Dachui carrying a child, her expression changed: "What's going on? Why are you..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Zhang Cui come in from outside.
Zhang Cui was even more disheveled than during the day. At least during the day, she had put on a padded jacket and hadn't frozen herself.
But Zhang Cui was only wearing a thin shirt, and her lips were so cold they were turning purple, but she seemed not to feel it at all, her eyes fixed on the child in Gu Dachui's arms.
"This child has a fever, but it's as hot as if he doesn't have one. Do you have any suggestions?"
Gu Dachui placed the child on a chair in the main room. Lin Cai asked him to pick the child up and put him on the bed in the guest room. She then went back to her own room, grabbed a coat, and brought the stove with her.
After arriving at the main room, Lin Cai placed the stove inside and gave the coat to Zhang Cui, who kept staring at the child on the bed.
He said, "Put your clothes on first, otherwise you'll get sick too, and who will take care of him then?"
After she finished speaking, she went into the storeroom, took out a jar, and poured a bowl of liquor into it.
Of course, this wasn't the wine in her jar; it was medicinal alcohol she took out of the refrigerator.
Because it would be difficult to explain if she took the bottle out with her, Lin Cai simply poured it into a large bowl. That way, no matter who asked, she could just say it was wine.
He carried a bowl of white wine to the guest room and then had Zhang Cui take off all the clothes on the child.
Zhang Cui looked at Lin Cai in confusion. Seeing that the woman hadn't moved at all, Lin Cai shouted, "What are you standing there for? Didn't you hear what I said? Hurry up and do it!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Cui didn't dare to hesitate for a moment. She quickly took off all the clothes on the child's body, and then the two women worked together to wipe the child's body with alcohol.
They had just finished their work when Huani brought over a bowl of ginger soup. Lin Cai had asked Huani to cook it in the kitchen when she went out to get some alcohol.
