Chapter 209 I can’t cure this plague. I can’t do it.
Li Suining forced himself to drink several big gulps of well water, and his belly became swollen from drinking so much.
After drinking, she immediately covered her little mouth with both hands and stayed away from Qingyun, obviously afraid that she would get sick and infect Qingyun.
"Xiao Suining, why don't I go into the infected area with you?" Qingyun was really worried about Xiaotuanzi going in alone.
"No!" Little Dumpling shouted, then quickly closed his mouth, shaking his little hands frantically, and winking at Qingyun with his round eyes.
Qingyun understood what she meant, and after a while he compromised and said, "Okay, I understand. I won't go in."
The little dumpling nodded in satisfaction and gave Qingyun a thumbs up.
After returning to the tent, she ignored Bai Shian and You Zhu and quickly lay down in the corner with her back to them.
Bai Shian frowned in confusion, "Sister, are you sleepy? Then you should go to bed early. Your sixth brother and I still have to go to dad's place."
"Okay, go ahead. I want to sleep." Little Dumpling was eager for them to leave.
That night, Li Suining slept very uneasily. Sometimes he was worried about whether he would die, and sometimes he was worried about whether he could convince his second brother.
When it was almost dawn, she started to have a high fever and cough, and her whole face turned red, like two little red apples.
"How could this happen?" Bai Shi'an was extremely anxious. He had a vague idea that Li Suining might have been infected with the plague, but he was unwilling to accept it.
He stepped forward and wanted to hug the little one, "Don't be afraid, sister. Fourth brother will take you to find the bearded man and let him check you out."
"Don't come over here, Fourth Brother, don't come over here." Little Tuanzi tucked himself into the innermost corner of the tent, not allowing anyone to get close. "I have the plague. I want to go to the infected area to find Second Brother."
"Don't talk nonsense." Bai Shi'an's voice was a little more anxious. "Sister, be good, how could you get the plague? You just caught a cold. Just let Uncle Hengheng give you some medicine. Be good, come here."
"No, no." The little girl shook her head like a rattle, stamping her feet anxiously and crying, "Fourth brother, Sixth brother, please don't come over. I really have the plague. Send me to the infected area to find my second brother."
Bai Shian and You Zhu looked at each other.
Finally, You Zhu was the first to nod in agreement, "Forget it, if she wants to go, just send her there."
Bai Shi'an still found Yang Heng and told him about Xiaotuanzi's situation. After confirming that Xiaotuanzi was basically infected with the plague, he finally nodded in agreement.
The little guy packed a small bag, put it on his back, and walked into the infected area with a proud and confident look.
Bai Shian was so distressed that he kept telling her, "Sister, go find your second brother. Don't run around by yourself. Ask your second brother to write to us every day and tell us about your situation."
"I got it, don't worry, fourth brother and sixth brother." Little Tuanzi entered the infected area, turned around and waved his little hands vigorously to say goodbye to them.
Soon, someone led her to the outside of Bai Yu's camp. "Seventh Miss, the second young master lives inside, but... he was injured a few days ago and has been resting inside."
"I understand. Thank you, big brother." The little girl said goodbye to the other party, opened the tent curtain and entered the tent.
As soon as she entered, she saw her second brother lying with his back to the door. There was breakfast on the table, but he had obviously not touched a single bite.
"You guys go ahead, I want to rest for a while." Bai Yu'an heard some movement behind him and thought it was the military doctor calling him to go to the wounded camp together.
"Of course, second brother can rest as long as you want." Little Tuanzi, carrying a small bag, walked behind Bai Yu'an and spoke in a baby voice.
Bai Yu'an, who had originally closed his eyes, suddenly opened them. Was he... hallucinating? Why did he just seem to hear... Li Suining's voice?
"But if second brother needs to recover from his injury..." Little Dumpling put down his little bag obediently, and saw his second brother sit up all of a sudden.
She saw the wound on Bai Yu'an's face and pouted in pain, "Second brother..."
Bai Yu'an stood up in shock. He saw that the little guy still had a scarf on his face, so he took a few steps forward and was about to tear it off.
Li Suining quickly covered her face with the scarf and stepped back a few steps. "Second brother, don't come over. You can't take off the scarf. I'm infected with the plague and it will be passed on to you."
"What?" Bai Yu'an felt his head buzzing, and his whole body swayed, almost unable to stand. "What's going on?"
With red eyes, he questioned Li Suining, "There are fewer and fewer patients outside. You live with Lao Si, so how did you get infected?"
He took a few steps forward and said, "This might be a mistake. I'll get you out right away."
"That's right, that's right." Little Dumpling dodged the big hand extended by his second brother, and shook his head with red eyes, repeating the same words, "Second brother, stay away from me."
Bai Yu'an's face was gloomy, vaguely realizing something, "What did you do?"
"I... I didn't do anything." The little dumpling shook his head timidly.
"She drank raw water from the well last night." Qingyun's voice suddenly came from above the tent. "Bai Yu'an, she wanted to come in to find you and cheer you up, so she deliberately let herself be infected."
"..." Bai Yu'an's expression changed, and he shouted towards the top of his head, "Where were you when she was drinking water? Why didn't you stop her?"
Qingyun was silent for a moment before answering helplessly, "I'm sorry, I can't do that. My mission is to support her unconditionally, no matter...what she wants to do."
Bai Yu'an didn't say anything. He could guess Xiao Wu's intention. Didn't Xiao Wu think that this child was only four years old and sometimes her behavior was full of danger?
"Ask dad to ride you back to the imperial city as fast as he can to find the imperial physician." Bai Yu'an turned and walked out.
"Second brother!" Little Dumpling shouted anxiously, "I won't go back. I won't go back alone!"
"Li Suining!" Bai Yu'an was really angry. "This is not a joke. If you don't get treatment in time... you might die. Do you understand? You have to go back."
"I'm not going back." Little Dumpling shook his head. "I believe that my second brother can heal me and everyone else. I'm not going back."
Bai Yu'an looked into Li Suining's eyes and smiled bitterly after a while. "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. This plague... I can't cure it. I can't do it!"
"You can do it!" Li Suining said firmly, "Second brother, I know those wounded soldiers won't cooperate with you, but it doesn't matter. I will cooperate with you. I will help you test the medicine, and it will definitely work."
Bai Yu'an looked at the dumpling in front of him in disbelief.
"Second brother, you said that as long as you achieve your goal, it doesn't matter what others think or how they see you. You don't need to care."
Little Tuanzi repeated what Bai Yu'an had said, "So, Second Brother, let's work together to find a cure for the plague, okay?"
