Chapter 96
"How can I do this? I'm here. Girl, take a rest. This cow is stubborn and can't be manipulated by someone you don't know."
Anyone who is willing to help at a time like this is a benefactor. Li Li'niang was touched, but she didn't dare to let Shen Jiao come.
First, he felt embarrassed to trouble others, second, he was afraid that Shen Jiao would drive the ox cart into the ditch and waste time, and third, Niu Wazi was really stubborn.
"That's fine."
Shen Jiao didn't force it. Seeing that she wouldn't let go, he sat in the back and asked with concern, "What's going on? Why did Mr. Li suddenly get sick? He was still talking and laughing when we parted yesterday."
Li Li Niang sniffed and said, "I don't know either. The doctors' explanations were unclear. One said it was a cerebral hemorrhage, another said it was something I ate wrong, and another said it was a bump. But there were no scars on my body, so how could it be a bump?
He would respond when we spoke to him, but after a few bowls of medicine, he passed out. We didn't recognize him, so we had no choice but to come to you, Master..."
She was crying and wanted to say something nice, but she couldn't.
"It's been a whole day, and I don't know what the situation is like at home."
"Alas, this is really unfortunate. The young master is out today, otherwise it would have been faster." Shen Jiao heard that she seemed to be a little anxious and resentful, so she simply said for her what she couldn't say.
Li Li'niang felt embarrassed instead: "How can this be blamed on the young master? It's our bad luck. They all said that my father was sleeping in the car. The wind blew on the way and made him confused. He got up too suddenly and fell down, which is why he got like this. His head was covered in blood. Maybe that's what broke him. We told him not to sleep in the car a long time ago, but he never listened. He was always smoking and drinking. Maybe he had some disease and didn't take it seriously..."
She sobbed, her voice mournful and mournful, like a female ghost crying in the night, inexplicably creepy.
Shen Jiao didn't care about their grievances, and felt relieved after hearing her confused talk.
He patted her on the back and said, "Everyone gets sick sometimes. Just get treated properly. What's the point of crying all this time? It's just wasting your heart and mind, getting angry, and ruining your body. What good is that? Don't be sad. Things may not be that bad. Didn't you say that those doctors can't even explain the reason, so naturally they can't cure it. Maybe when someone who understands takes a look, they'll find it's just a minor illness."
"It would be great if that were true, but my father is vomiting blood." Li Li'niang raised her sleeves to wipe the tears from her face.
"There are many reasons for vomiting blood. Biting your tongue or knocking your teeth can also cause vomiting blood," Shen Jiao looked at the goateed doctor and asked for confirmation. "What do you think, Doctor Cheng? What does he have?"
"It's hard to say. We need to see the patient first," Doctor Cheng asked, stroking his beard. "Besides the bleeding from the mouth and nose, does he have vomiting, abdominal pain, or any other symptoms?"
"No," Li Li'niang cried, "My father looked terrifying, but he himself seemed unconscious. He only groaned when his head was bruised, and he complained about our noise. All he wanted was to sleep."
"Is that so..." Doctor Cheng's expression grew serious. "Can this cow go any faster?"
It would be nice if it could.
Li Li'niang was a little desperate, and she cracked the whip in the air.
When the old cow heard this, it ran forward with all its might for a while, then slowed down panting, and after taking a few steps, it refused to move any further.
The people in the car jumped down and Niu Wazi fell to the ground with a bang.
Li Li Niang stroked the panting old cow and burst into tears, "It's no use. I can't leave."
Doctor Cheng, carrying his medicine box, said, "Forget it, forget it. Whoever runs faster, please lead the way for me."
"I'll do it, I'll do it. You follow me and give me the box." Jin Shuisheng said quickly.
Doctor Cheng raised his hand to refuse and said, "No need, I can carry it myself, you just lead the way."
He seemed to know some kung fu. No matter how fast Jin Shuisheng ran, he could easily keep up with him, with light steps and steady body.
It looks like it's not easy to deal with.
But he didn't react at all when I gave him the medicine just now. I guess it's just a fake trick that looks good but has no effect?
Shen Jiao wasn't sure, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
Whether he is a real Buddha or a fake immortal, you will know the answer soon.
She turned to Li Li Niang and said, "You should go back with them quickly. We are here with you. Let it lie down and catch its breath. Maybe it can survive. If it doesn't, we will send someone to take it away. It's useless for you to stay. You should go back and see if your father is serious."
"Sister, I have some water here. Pour some for it to drink."
Qiongzhi handed a water bag to her.
Shen Jiao sighed in his heart: How thoughtful.
Then he squatted down, opened the water bag and poured it into the cow's mouth.
The sound of the splashing water revived the old cow.
He stuck out his tongue and licked the water around his mouth.
Li Li Niang sobbed, looked at Shen Jiao and Qiong Zhi, bowed and said, "I leave everything to you two young ladies."
"Hey, why bother?"
Shen Jiao couldn't quite understand Li Li Niang's feelings for the animal. Her family had plenty of old cows, and it didn't look very tasty... But she still helped her up in surprise and said solemnly,
"Just go ahead and do it with peace of mind."
Li Li'niang looked at Niu Wazi again, then she got up and stumbled after him.
Shen Jiao watched her run away, gulped down two sips of water, and then handed it to Qiongzhi without looking away. He tilted his head slightly and asked, "Do you want some?"
"Ah?" Qiongzhi took the water bag in a daze, brought it to her lips and took a sip, then asked carefully, "Sister, should I go back and look for someone now, or should I wait a little longer?"
"Looking for someone? Looking for whom?"
"Aren't you going to pull the ox?"
"Oh, that," Shen Jiao came back to her senses and said, "Don't worry, wait a little longer, maybe it can stand up on its own, and we don't have to bother."
"Well, that's fine too." Qiong Zhizhuang laughed twice.
Shen Jiao also smiled and looked at her, curiously asking, "Why are you carrying a water bag? The road isn't far."
"It's better to be prepared," Qiongzhi said, pulling the strap of her shoulder bag to show Shen Jiao, "I brought a lot of other things with me. Are you hungry, sister? I have some snacks here."
"Give me some."
It's late at night, and after tossing and turning, it's nice to eat something to comfort myself.
Shen Jiao took two bites of the mung bean cake and found it too sweet. She squatted down, handed it to the cow, blinked, and asked, "Do you want some?"
Niu Wazi ignored her and didn't even smell her.
Shen Jiao curled her lips: "I thought you understood human nature, but it turns out you are also a fool."
She stuffed the snack into her mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it.
Perhaps it was not destined to die. After lying for a long time, the old cow actually stood up by itself and walked forward without anyone pulling it.
Shen Jiao patted the crumbs on his hands, drank some water and said, "Let's go."
She casually threw the water bag to Qiongzhi and skipped forward following the old cow.
Qiongzhi caught it in a panic, and hurriedly put it away while chasing after her, "Sister, wait for me."
