Chapter 370 Fainted

award?

Yuan Shanchuan couldn't help but widen his eyes. Although Meng Yunzheng had mentioned before leaving that taking the painting back would be considered a meritorious act and might result in a reward, Yuan Shanchuan was still surprised.

But Yuan Shanchuan didn't dare to even think about such a thing; he just hoped his family would come out safe and sound. In those days, what ordinary person would dare to ask the county magistrate for a reward?

Besides, he didn't take the painting for this reason in the first place, even though it was out of some inexplicable impulse.

When Xiang Weinan suddenly asked him this, Yuan Shanchuan frowned and didn't react for a moment.

Seeing this, Xiang Weinan thought for a moment and said, "Or, how about I give you a reward?"

This is the most direct and practical reward, and most people would choose this.

But Yuan Shanchuan subconsciously shook his head, "No, it's not necessary."

With that shake of his head, he suddenly felt even more dizzy. When he looked up again, Xiang Weinan seemed like a double image. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.

Xiang Weinan hadn't noticed his situation yet. Seeing that he didn't want the reward money, he said, "It's okay, you can take your time to think about it. If you really can't decide, well... you can owe it to me for now."

As he spoke, he looked at Shu Yu, that girl was just asking for it.

Shu Yu frowned as she stared at Yuan Shanchuan. She had sensed something was off about his expression earlier, and now she was even sweating profusely.

"Fourth Uncle, what's wrong?"

"I..." Yuan Shanchuan could no longer hold on and suddenly fell forward.

Shu Yu's expression changed slightly, and she quickly stepped forward to support him, "Fourth Uncle."

Wang Hong rushed forward and caught the person, asking, "What happened?"

"Go find a doctor quickly." Xiang Weinan called out to Hu Li. This man had just returned with merit and could not be allowed to get into trouble in front of him.

Hu Li ran out, and Lu Sixing and Da Niu, who were already worried about him, quickly turned around and came back in.

Seeing that Yuan Shanchuan had already fainted, Lu Sixing was extremely anxious. "Shanchuan, Shanchuan, wake up! Don't scare me. We finally got together. Please don't let anything happen to you."

Xiang Weinan called to Da Niu and Wang Hong, "You two carry the person to the back guest room first. The doctor will be here soon."

Yuan Shanchuan's unconsciousness startled everyone present.

The person was carried to the backyard. Xiang Weinan rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

Lu Sixing sat on the edge of the bed, tears streaming down her face.

"Fourth Aunt, don't worry, Fourth Uncle will be fine. He's probably just too tired. You don't know, before we met him, he hadn't slept properly for three days. Once we get back, let him rest more, and he'll recover immediately."

"Really?" Lu Sixing was at a loss, but when she heard Shu Yu say this, she immediately looked up at her.

Shu Yu nodded affirmatively, "Really."

She regretted not stopping the Yuan family from beating him earlier. Even if the Yuan family wanted to vent their anger, they should have waited until he recovered.

Shu Yu couldn't help but rub her temples, but fortunately Hu Li quickly brought the doctor over.

Lu Sixing quickly stepped aside so the doctor could examine her.

The guest room was quiet for a long time before the doctor withdrew his hand and said, "It's alright. The patient was already injured and hadn't fully recovered when he was beaten. In addition, he was sleep-deprived and ate little, so his body couldn't take it and he fainted. I'll prescribe some medicine to heal his internal injuries and some conditioning medicine. After he wakes up, he can take it for a couple of days and get plenty of rest. He'll gradually recover."
