Fang Caixiu heaved a sigh of relief after learning that the Yi family was fine. "That's good, that's good! I also told your uncle to go and see them right away and lend a hand. If your cousin wasn't sick and couldn't leave her alone, I would have gone with her too."

He Jinlu, Yi Yami's cousin, is 14 years old. She has been having a high fever recently, which has made the He family very anxious.

Yi Yami asked with concern, "Is cousin feeling better now?"

Fang Caixiu shook her head. "No way! He still has a high fever and keeps talking nonsense, saying things like, 'Don't kill it, don't kill it.' I don't know if this child has been frightened by something."

Yi Yami suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she was frightened and her grandmother would ask the fairy for advice. The fairy in the countryside was always very effective. Every time she asked and performed some operations, the body would be healed. It was really a puzzling mystery. Thinking of this, she asked Fang Caixiu, "Aunt, have you asked the fairy to come and see?"

"Fairy? Oh, if you hadn't mentioned it, I'd forgotten about it. Father, go and invite her tomorrow. It's not a good thing for the little deer to keep burning like this..."

"I understand. I'll go tomorrow." He Heihu replied after listening.

Yi Yami went to take a look, but she had not learned how to take a pulse. Although there were medical books in the old ancestor's house, she only had a superficial understanding of them and could not use them at all.

A light bulb suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of the Fountain of Youth. Yi Yami went inside the hairpin when no one was paying attention, and when no one was paying attention, he dropped a drop of the Fountain of Youth into the water he fed He Jinlu.

Yi Yami watched Fang Caixiu feed He Jinlu.

After a while, Fang Caixiu tentatively touched He Jinlu's forehead, "Eh? It's amazing. It was extremely hot just now, but now it's not feverish anymore. But why hasn't this child woken up yet?" Fang Caixiu was happy that the fever had subsided, but on the other hand, she was worried that He Jinlu had not woken up yet.

"Aunt, don't worry. Maybe my cousin will wake up tomorrow morning. If not, won't my uncle go to ask the fairy for help? There is always a way." Yiyami comforted her.

Fang Caixiu patted the back of Yi Yami's hand and said, "I really envy your mother for having such a wonderful daughter like you."

Yi Yami smiled sweetly, "Aunt is the best. She takes care of my cousin day and night without taking off her clothes. If my cousin wakes up, she will definitely be touched."

He Tuyuan was studying at Zhizhi Academy in the town and did not come home. He only went home when the academy was closed.

So Yi Xiaomai and Yi Yami didn't see him.

Fang Caixiu wanted to prepare food for Yi Xiaomai and Yi Yami to welcome them, but Yi Yami refused and told her to go and have a rest. "Aunt, you've worked so hard taking care of my sister. Why don't you go and have a rest first? I'll call you when it's time for dinner. Just ask your aunt to light the fire for me. I can't do anything else, but I'm an expert at cooking."

Yi Xiaomai also echoed, "Yes, aunt, my sister's cooking is delicious. Look, I've gained weight."

"Really? Then I'm in for a treat!" Fang Caixiu couldn't persuade the two of them, so she just followed Yi Yami's wishes.

He Huaixiu lit the fire while Yi Yami chopped the vegetables into various thin strips, slices, and diced vegetables. He Huaixiu was so shocked by her skills that he opened his mouth wide. "Oh my goodness, Xiaomi, who did you learn this from? How can you cut vegetables in so many different ways?"

"Auntie can cut it like this if she spends some time." Yiyami said with a smile.

After the meal, the He family members touched their round bellies and sighed, "Xiaomi, it's really thanks to you that we can have such a delicious meal. I've never eaten such delicious food before!"

"As long as you like it, I'll make more. Anyway, I'll be playing at Grandpa's house for a while. Just don't get tired of it." Yi Yami smiled and poured everyone a cup of hawthorn tea. "This is hawthorn tea, it promotes digestion. Everyone, drink it slowly to help digestion."

Fang Caixiu and He Heihu, the couple, cleaned up He Tuyuan's room for Yi Xiaomai to sleep in. He Tuyuan's room didn't need much cleaning, just a simple tidying would be enough.

Yi Yami's room was He Huaizhu's previous room, and needed to be cleaned up and the bed remade. Fang Caixiu and He Heihu worked quickly, both smiling as they made the bed.

Yi Yami looked at them quietly, feeling this silent love.

The next morning, He Jinlu still showed no signs of waking up.

He Heihu harnessed his donkey and went to the next village to ask the fairy to come.

The sun was about to set in the afternoon when He Heihu came back, but he came back alone.

Fang Caixiu looked behind him and asked, "Where is the fairy lady?"

He Heihu scratched his head and said, "The fairy said she's not suitable to go out recently, but she told me that our little deer was frightened in the southwest direction and lost its soul. She asked us to take a bowl of rice and stick a pair of chopsticks in it, then light incense and stick it on the door. When you stick it in and pray, you should chant the little deer's name and call her back. Keep shouting towards the southwest, calling her back. When the chopsticks fall, the little deer's soul will return."

Fang Caixiu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it."

Yi Yami and Yi Xiaomai both followed Fang Caixiu obediently.

Yi Yami whispered to Yi Xiaomai, "Brother, don't get scared later. Be mentally prepared."

"Sister, I won't be scared. I'm very brave. Last time Wu Liang bullied you, I beat him until he saw stars. If I wasn't so small, I would have beaten him so hard that he would call me daddy!" Yi Xiaomai said confidently with her chin raised.

"Oh, you are so awesome~" Yi Yami teased him with a smile.

Fang Caixiu followed He Heihu's instructions, scooped a bowl of rice, and then tied a pair of chopsticks with a red string and stuck them in the center of the rice. She lit a few incense sticks, placing three with the rice and holding the rest to bow towards the southwest, calling out, "He Jinlu, come back!"
