Futu felt a little heavy-hearted as he thought about these things.

After returning home from Doctor Liu's, he settled things at home and asked Xie to pay more attention to Xiaoya's condition.

As night deepened, darkness grew thicker.

The pagoda also became impoverished.

He didn't resist his body; when he was sleepy, he went to his room, lay down on the small bed, took off his shoes, and without even taking a shower or soaking his feet, he fell asleep the moment he lay down.

I don't know what I encountered in my dream.

When I woke up the next day, my head was throbbing slightly.

I was too busy and tired yesterday.

Hurry up and head to the kitchen, where Old Guo has already prepared breakfast.

The moment he saw the Buddha statue, he gestured with his chin towards it. The Buddha statue looked behind it and met Old Su, the scholar.

He instantly realized that this was his maternal grandfather.

He had no relatives in his past life.

When they finally gained power and influence and tried to find their relatives, they couldn't find even one of them.

Now, he has a father, a mother, a younger sister, his maternal grandfather is still alive, and his uncle is still alive...

Life seems to have become much richer.

Similarly, the burden on small shoulders is heavier.

Old Scholar Su stroked his beard and looked at Futu: "Why do you think I look a little different today?" After saying that, Old Scholar Su rubbed his eyes.

"Am I more mature today?" Futu asked.

Old Su, the scholar, felt it was more than just maturity.

Some of them are quite depressing.

He could hardly stand up straight in front of his grandson.

That's really strange!

"Where's your mother? She didn't come back all night. Could she have gone astray? Could she have been tricked?" Old Scholar Su asked with a worried expression.

Although he knew that his eldest daughter had a different kind of adventure.

They didn't even know if she was the eldest daughter.

But after spending so much time together, he has come to regard her as his daughter.

I can't get through two days without seeing them or sending them a greeting.

"Mother went to Doctor Liu's place; there are some complicated matters that require her help." Seeing that Old Scholar Su was trying to straighten his slightly hunched back, Fu Tu spoke in a way that the old man could understand.

If it were his previous life, he wouldn't have needed to consider others.

In this life, he was both imprisoned and nourished by family ties.

They are well-versed in the seven emotions and six desires, and understand human emotions.

Wherever there is emotion, there is the vast world of mortals. This world is not only about romantic love, but also about familial ties.

Since we've been given a second chance at life, we must start anew.

Seeing that Old Scholar Su believed his words, Fu Tu asked again, "Did Mother say you were going to teach?"

"Yes, I'll go teach." Old Su, the scholar, picked up his books and walked towards the neighboring village.

Fu Tu was worried, so he sent Guo Shu to stay with Old Su, the scholar.

Meanwhile, two more guards in black robes followed behind Old Su without his knowledge.

After eating something, the throbbing pain in his head disappeared, and he got up and walked towards Doctor Liu's house.

Su Jiaoniang, who had been in a coma for a day and a night, woke up.

However, due to excessive blood loss and the concentrated nature of the wounds, I still lack the energy.

...Seeing the approaching pagoda, a smile appeared on his lips.

I haven't seen the little guy all night.

His descent into darkness seems to have intensified considerably.

However, she doesn't have the energy to discipline them right now.

"Did I scare you?" Su Jiaoniang asked, her throat full of blisters. Even as she spoke, one could feel the rusty knife cutting into her throat.

Fu Tu shook his head: "Mother, rest well. Eat something first before taking your medicine, otherwise your body won't be able to handle it."

As he spoke, Futu stared at Su Jiaoniang's mouth.

She had difficulty speaking.

People who are injured often lose too much blood and fluid, which can lead to complications.

He stared intently, and Su Jiaoniang closed her mouth and refused to open it again.

Fu Tu smiled.

His mother is still so...resilient.

He took the ginseng soup that Doctor Liu brought over and fed her spoonful by spoonful.

In this moment, nothing can be hidden.

He could clearly see that Su Jiaoniang's mouth was full of blisters.

In such a situation, taking medicine or eating food feels like being tortured.

Ordinary people simply cannot endure it.

He felt a bittersweet feeling in his heart.

But if he tries his best to act like he hasn't noticed, his mother will probably break down if he cries!

Su Jiaoniang swallowed spoonful by spoonful.

The pain made her want to push the spoon away.

However, she knew clearly that if she didn't eat properly and didn't replenish her body with enough nutrients, her body would soon be exhausted and depleted.

Even Guan Yu could have his bone scraped to heal his wounds back then, but she only had a blister and needed to eat something.

Just bear with it, it will pass.

After eating the ginseng chicken soup, they were given a bowl of dark, black medicine.

Su Jiaoniang looked at the Buddha statue being fed to her spoonful by spoonful, closed her eyes, and forced herself to swallow the medicine.

I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep again.

Around noon, Ms. Xie came over, helped her change clothes and take care of her bodily needs, and then left.

Dusk soon fell, and Futu stood by the bed with Xiaoya.

When Su Jiaoniang saw Xiaoya, her eyes lit up: "Why are you here too?"

"Mother, you should rest well. I just wanted to see you." Seeing that Su Jiaoniang hadn't run away, Xiaoya realized she still had a mother and was instantly relieved.

After feeling relieved, he comforted Su Jiaoniang.

She stretched out her little hand.

Pointing to her fingernails that had already grown back, she said, "Mommy, even I'm not afraid of pain, so you can't be either!"

"Okay, I'm not afraid!" Su Jiaoniang said a few words and then fell asleep again without realizing it.

Futu led the little girl back to his home.

"Your mother isn't home, so you need to take good care of yourself, understand?" Fu Tu coldly instructed.
