Hearing the screams from the courtyard, Wang the landlord went out to see what was going on and bumped right into Yin Jin'an.

Yin Jin'an grabbed his collar and asked fiercely, "Did you have her tell your fortunes again?"

Landlord Wang was surprised to see that he could actually stand up.

Before he could even greet her, he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Young Master in Brocade, please let go! I absolutely did not trouble Jiutian, and no one asked her to tell fortunes..."

At this point, he suddenly remembered his daughters causing trouble, and the words caught in his throat.

Yin Jin'an immediately knew something was wrong when she saw his shifty eyes.

He pinned the man against the wall and said coldly, "Tell me, what exactly did you do?"

Left with no other choice, Landlord Wang recounted how, on the first day Jiutian arrived at his home, his daughters and sons-in-law, accompanied by the sorceress Guo, came to splash dog blood on him.

“I don’t know if it has anything to do with them, but these things happened that day, and I really have been protecting Jiutian.”

Yin Jin'an asked the monk Qingshui, "Master, do you have any way to save Jiutian?"

Not every monk is an enlightened master, nor can every monk comprehend the secrets of heaven. Qingshui shook his head with a wry smile: "My skills are limited. I can usually only treat people's common ailments..."

It means he can't cure it.

Yin Jin'an picked up Jiu Tian, ​​and Ma Chenyang took her small bag and left the landlord's house.

Landlord Wang was anxious and grabbed Qingshui's hand, saying, "Master Qingshui, is there really no way you can do this?"

Qingshui said, "Don't worry, benefactor. This child has an extraordinary background. This young master also has an extraordinary background. If he is well, she will be well too."

Landlord Wang was completely confused. Qingshui insisted on leaving, and no amount of pleading could persuade him to stay.

Yin Jin'an carried Jiutian back, covered her with a blanket, and touched her little head. She had no fever and her breathing was even.

However, he is still unconscious.

Yin Jin'an sat on the edge of the bed, his brows furrowed. This little kid had come to his side and was wholeheartedly protecting his inexplicable second uncle.

He didn't know where she came from, but it was clear that she was the benefactor he would repay with his life.

"Ma Chenyang, you keep an eye on Jiutian, I'll be right back." He put on his mask and picked up a stick that fit his hand.

Ma Chenyang clung tightly to his leg, crying as he said, "Young Master, I know you're heartbroken and worried about Jiutian, but have you thought about what would happen to Jiutian if something happened to you?"

He couldn't abandon Jiutian; even if he took Jiutian with him, Ma Chenyang might encounter misfortune.

Yin Jin'an turned back again.

He doesn't understand the Nine Heavens' methods, nor does he know anything about medicine. What should he do?

From childhood to adulthood, whenever I feel unwell, I always drink hot water.

So he said to Ma Chenyang, "Pour me a bowl of hot water."

Ma Chenyang felt that the young master in brocade robes was grasping at straws in his desperation—Jiutian had been unconscious for several days, could he drink hot water?

The young master was anxious, and so was he.

Subconsciously, men all feel that hot water is a panacea.

So, a bowl of hot water arrives.

Yin Jin'an blew on the hot water to cool it down, then pressed the bowl against her forehead to check the temperature. Feeling it was just right, she took a small spoon and fed Jiu Tian water.

“Jiutian, I am your second uncle. Drink some hot water; water can cure all diseases.” He seemed to be telling his own story. “I’ve been like this since I was a child. If I’m not feeling well, I drink hot water. As long as I can eat and drink, I won’t die.”

He didn't drink water for nine days.

He was anxious, so he put the bowl on the table and paced around the yard like a caged beast.

"Bang, bang, bang," they kicked everything they could in the yard away.

Ma Chenyang was terrified. His face contorted in pain. He clasped his hands together, knelt down, and begged the heavens: "Heavens, please, make Jiutian get better. If Jiutian wakes up tonight, I will go to the temple and donate five catties of incense oil."

Currently, sesame oil costs 100 coins per catty, so five catties would cost 500 coins, which is his monthly salary.

Yin Jin'an refused to kneel and beg. Instead, she snorted and looked up at the sky, saying, "God, if you don't wake up the heavens, I'll kill all of Landlord Wang, his seven daughters, and Granny Guo's entire family!"

Ma Chenyang shuddered and wailed, "Young Master, people pray to Heaven for good and good things, how can you say it's about killing someone?"

Yin Jin'an said, "I'll kill anyone who gets in my way, and I'll destroy anyone who makes things difficult for me! At worst, I'll just die. It's not like I haven't died before."

Perhaps his oath was too strong, for no time after he finished speaking, a soft murmur was heard: "Second Uncle..."

The voice was like heavenly music. Ma Chenyang and Yin Jin'an were stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. They rushed into the house and saw that Jiutian had already sat up.

Yin Jin'an squatted down in front of her, looking her up and down, left and right.

Jiutian called out with a grin, "Second Uncle."

Her voice was sweet, soft, and a little weak. Her voice brought tears to Ma Chenyang's eyes. He choked out, "My little darling, you're finally awake! If you hadn't woken up, someone would have died."

Yin Jin'an's face darkened, and she looked at her coldly.

"Second Uncle."

"How could I dare to be your second uncle? You're so capable, calculating everything, risking your life for it. I'm just an ordinary person, only concerned with my own food and drink. How could I be worthy to be your second uncle!"

Hearing these unpleasant words, Jiutian burst into tears, crying sadly, "Second Uncle, Jiutian was so worried..."

One word of concern was enough to quell Yin Jin'an's anger.

She's good at calculations; she must have figured out that something bad had happened to her. Sigh, it's so annoying to have a little kid worrying about an adult like this!

He wiped away her tears and snot with a cloth and asked, "Are you hungry?"

I'm hungry.

"Shall we eat?"

"Okay, let's eat."

Yin Jin'an instructed Ma Chenyang, "Go and cook, heat up the meat I bought today."
