After getting in the car, Mrs. Ye tried to wake Qingtian up, but no matter how she called, Qingtian did not respond.
It can be seen that he was not asleep at all, but was unconscious due to fever.
Mrs. Ye was extremely anxious, but the road was slippery due to the snow outside, so she didn't dare to urge Ye Lao Si. She could only wrap Qingtian in a quilt and shed tears secretly.
She was regretting it so much now. She knew that children would lose count when they started playing, so why didn't she think of going out and calling her again?
It’s all my fault for being so engrossed in Ye Juaner’s stories about the village’s gossip.
Mrs. Ye kept touching Qingtian's forehead while feeling regretful.
She didn't know if it was a psychological effect or what, but she always felt that Qingtian's forehead was getting hotter and hotter, but her body was not sweating at all, and she even had a little chill.
She couldn't help but call out to Ye Lao Si, who was driving outside, "Lao Si, please stop the car for a moment and get some snow. I want to apply some on Qingtian's forehead. Why is he getting hotter and hotter?"
Hearing Mrs. Ye's crying voice, Ye Laosi quickly reined in the mule, took the small basin she handed over, got off the car and dug a basin of snow for her to send back.
Ye Laosi took the opportunity to look into the car and saw that Qingtian's face was flushed red.
I don’t know if my nose was blocked, but I could only breathe hard through my little mouth.
Ye Laosi quickly closed the car door, fearing that she would be blown by the cold wind again. He jumped into the car, sat down, and waved the whip to continue driving towards the city.
Because he was heading to the capital from the beginning, Ye Laosi did not go through the county town, but took a shortcut.
Because someone was clearing snow on the official road near the capital, Ye Laosi drove even faster in the second half of the journey and finally arrived in the capital before it got completely dark.
At this time, both of them were actually very hungry, and their stomachs were rumbling, but neither of them cared and went straight into the city to Doctor Lin's clinic in Shigu Hutong.
The lanterns at the door of the clinic had been lit at this time, and the two red lanterns instantly warmed Mrs. Ye's heart.
She hugged Qingtian tightly in her arms, put her hands close to her hot little face and said, "My dear, we're at the clinic. We'll be fine after seeing the doctor."
Ye Laosi parked the car in front of the clinic, let Ye Dasao carry Qingtian into the house for treatment, and then he found a place to park the car.
As Mrs. Ye walked into the house holding Qingtian, she heard heart-wrenching cries coming from inside the house.
She glanced over and saw blood all over the place. It seemed that a child was injured and Doctor Lin was busy and exhausted.
A medicine boy came over and asked Mrs. Ye about the situation, and then asked her to hold the child and wait aside.
Mrs. Ye held Qingtian and sat aside, but the child in the next room was crying so miserably that she became uneasy.
She couldn't help but ask the medicine boy, "What happened to the kid next door?"
The medicine boy said sympathetically, "The juggler fell off the pole and broke his arm. The bone is sticking out of the flesh."
When Mrs. Ye heard this, she shuddered all over and felt pain in her arms.
The child's injuries were so serious that Mrs. Ye couldn't rush the process and could only wait anxiously.
Even after Ye Laosi parked the car and came in, Doctor Lin was still too busy to come over.
Ye Laosi was anxious to call a doctor, but was stopped by Ye Dasao.
She hesitated and said, "Let's wait a little longer. The kid next door seems to be seriously injured..."
Mrs. Ye did feel sorry for Qingtian, but every child is the apple of their parents’ eyes!
Besides, even when seeing a doctor, you have to follow the first come first served principle.
Fortunately, after waiting for a while, Dr. Lin finally finished his work.
There was a lot of blood splattered on his body, so he hurriedly changed his coat, washed his hands and came over.
"How's the child?" Doctor Lin had never met Mrs. Ye and Old Fourth Ye, so naturally he didn't know that they were the same family as Old Lady Ye who came before.
But when Mrs. Ye opened the quilt wrapped around Qingtian and took her out of her arms, Doctor Lin recognized her at a glance. Wasn't this the little girl that Young Master Qin had brought here before?
Doctor Lin shuddered and quickly perked up and asked, "I heard the medicine boy say that the child has a fever?"
"Yes, she was playing in the yard at noon. Then it started snowing and I called her into the house. She said she wanted to play for a while longer, but I ended up doing something else and forgot to call her.
"When I remembered and went out to check, she had fallen asleep in the snow because she was tired from playing. I could feel her fever when I touched her, and it seemed to be getting hotter as we walked along."
"He must have caught a cold." Doctor Lin said as he went to check on Qingtian's condition. His fever was indeed quite serious.
"Has your child often had fever before?"
"Never!" Mrs. Ye blurted out, then felt something was wrong and hesitated, "Anyway, not recently."
Seeing that she was hesitant in her words and the child was now unconscious, Doctor Lin suddenly had other ideas in his mind.
He remembered clearly that the child had come with Young Master Qin before. Could these two people be beggars or kidnappers?
So Dr. Lin did not continue to ask about this issue, but first checked the child's condition.
The more he examined it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Mrs. Ye and Old Fourth Ye came out in a hurry, wearing old homely clothes.
But Qingtian was dressed much better than them, with a pair of exquisitely crafted deerskin boots on his feet and a jade pendant of excellent quality hanging around his neck.
Doctor Lin examined Qingtian first and said, "The child has a high fever. Do you have a place to stay tonight?"
Mrs. Ye was completely unaware of Doctor Lin's suspicion and said, "I remember your clinic has accommodation, right? We'll stay here."
