Chapter 836 Hopeless City (104)
With the candlelight, he finally saw clearly.
He was really a child, his mouth was slumped, his eyes were closed, and his whole body was covered in bruises from the cold. Only his little arm, which was as long as one hand, was as cold as a piece of ice.
Lu Qi stared blankly at the little thing on the bed, a little at a loss.
This is a child who was abandoned at the national border. It may have been thrown by someone from the country, but now no matter who threw it, this child is now in front of him.
She looked like she was about to freeze to death, her little face was colorless, her voice was extremely weak when she opened her mouth to cry, and the sight of her soft, pink gums made him feel so painful.
The man was soft-hearted. He had never seen such a young child, and he didn't know what to do with her.
"What to do."
He asked himself this silently.
what to do?
This is a military camp and he will leave the day after tomorrow. He is still a soldier and has to patrol and stand guard in this bitter cold place all day long.
He didn't know how to take care of children, and he had never heard of any military camp where raising children was allowed.
The man was restless all night, but seeing that the child's movements were getting weaker and weaker, the man quickly took off his shirt and climbed onto the bed, and then pressed the little child against his chest.
He was warm and holding the child was like holding a piece of ice.
The night passed like this.
Early the next morning, he was awakened by the sound of babbling in his ears.
Looking at it, the baby lying in his arms had opened his eyes. They were a pair of bright black eyes, the color of which did not belong to the Longka Empire.
Sure enough, he is a child from a neighboring country.
Lu Qi stared at the child's eyes for a long time. They were round and bright, like a black grape, and very beautiful.
After her body warmed up, her entire fleshy and small body was white and tender. Her little arms and legs were struggling in his arms. She neither cried nor fussed, and her little mouth kept moving towards his arms.
Although Lu Qi is a man who has been in the military camp for more than ten years, he still knows one thing, that is, such a young child needs to be fed milk. "Don't bother, I have no milk."
He got up and got dressed, looked at the child on the bed, and after some hesitation, wrapped her in his own blanket and stuffed her into his arms with the blanket. Only one head is exposed.
The man went to see the resident captain.
After giving the captain a look at the child in his arms, the two men sat in the tent, looking at a child who was crying because of hunger and were at a loss.
"Call the colonel here."
The colonel arrived, a younger man, adding another person to the group watching the baby cry.
"Where did the child come from?"
"Picked up by the river."
"This river is long and wide, with a water depth of tens of meters. To the south is China and to the north is Longka. People from China will definitely not be able to cross the river. There is no one living on the border of Longka. How could this child do this for no reason? Appeared at the river? Who sent it? ”
The colonel analyzed rationally, but Lu Qi frowned and was at a loss.
"I don't know. Don't look at me. I don't even have children from women."
The captain touched the beard on his chin and was thinking deeply, Lu Qi said silently.
"Find some food for her."
There is goat milk in the military camp, and each soldier has a fixed portion every day.
Lu Qi heated his own goat's milk and put it in a bag, tore one end of the bag and stuffed it into the child's mouth.
The child ate very deliciously, and his arms and legs were moving happily and vigorously.
The three men gathered around, watching and thinking.
