Holy crap!
Shen Qingyu jumped up in surprise: This person looks older than her, why is she calling her mother?
But the man's hand gripped Shen Qingyu's wrist like an iron band, his voice trembling as he cried out, "Ping'er, be good, Ping'er will never want her father again... Mother, please don't abandon me..."
Shen Qingyu couldn't break free with one hand, so she could only use her other hand to pry open his iron-like fingers, only to find that his hand had become burning hot in a short while!
It turns out it was burnt.
"Mother...Mother...Ping'er will listen to you, don't go..."
Tears streamed down the man's face as he grabbed Shen Qingyu's hand and pressed it tightly against his own.
Her tears were scalding hot, and Shen Qingyu's heart softened instantly: she was also someone who was neither loved by her father nor her mother.
"Okay. Mother won't leave. You lie there quietly, and Mother will feed you your medicine..."
The man still wouldn't let go: "Don't lie to me... Mother... don't lie to me..."
"I'm not lying to you! I'm not lying to you..." Shen Qingyu coaxed him through her pain.
A dark figure darted over, poked a finger into an acupoint, and the man's hand loosened, causing him to lose consciousness.
Xiao Yunqi stood by the bed with a dark face: "He was holding your hand, didn't you know how to shake him off?"
Shen Qingyu was furious and stretched out her fair wrist for him to see: "He's so strong, how could I shake him off?"
Upon closer inspection, Xiao Yunqi noticed the distinct fingerprints on the wrist, indicating that Cheng Ping had used considerable force.
Tomorrow I'm afraid I'll be in serious trouble.
That bastard!
If I had known this would happen, I should have let him die in the deep mountains!
Shen Qingyu, however, didn't have that much on her mind. She turned around and went to her room to write a prescription for Cheng Ping.
After quickly writing down the prescription, Shen Qingyu tossed it to Xiao Yunqi, who was waiting nearby, saying, "Alright, let's eat first."
When Xiao Yunqi saw Shen Qingyu go to the main room to eat with a blank expression, he swallowed back the question, "Will he have anything to do tonight?"
What causes this inexplicable sense of peace?
When the children saw their father return and learned that he had been delayed because he was saving their benefactor, they were all relieved.
Xiao Yunqi also explained Cheng Ping's background.
It turns out that Xiao Yunqi encountered bandits two years ago, but Cheng Ping helped him avoid injury, and that's how he met Cheng Ping and they became friends.
Who would have thought that I would unexpectedly run into him being chased today?
Xiao Yunqi had no choice but to lend a hand.
When talking about the past, Xiao Yunqi still softened.
After the meal, Xiao Yunqi went to check on Cheng Ping and rushed out in a panic the next moment: "He...he has a terrible fever and is having convulsions!"
Shen Qingyu also turned around and ran in that direction.
The whole family panicked instantly.
Cheng Ping had a high fever and was indeed convulsing.
There's no time to find a doctor to prescribe medicine, so we can only try using the spiritual spring water to see if it can help reduce the fever.
Shen Qingyu went to the kitchen to fetch a ladle of water, but on the way back she replaced it with spiritual spring water and had Xiao Yunqi drink it down her throat.
Having no other options, Xiao Yunqi could only fill the container with water.
After drinking a ladle of water, Cheng Ping remained unconscious, but he broke out in a light sweat. A moment later, his convulsions stopped.
This is a sign that the fever is about to break.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Yunqi wiped the sweat from his forehead and went out to ride a horse: "I'm going to town to find a doctor to treat my illness."
The children were also frightened, and Shen Qingyu had to comfort them before putting all three children to sleep in her room.
After they fell asleep, he went to check on Cheng Ping.
Only after leaving the courtyard did I see Wen Che standing there in the moonlight, gazing up at the moon at a 45-degree angle, lost in thought.
Wen Che turned around upon hearing the noise and looked at Shen Qingyu.
The two were speechless for a moment.
Wen Che bowed silently to Shen Qingyu, then turned and went back into the house.
Shen Qingyu went to see Cheng Ping, and while no one was around, she used the spiritual spring water to give him another ibuprofen pill.
Upon taking his pulse again, they found that he had stabilized considerably and was unlikely to die.
She was so busy all day that she fell asleep as soon as she got back to her room.
By the time Xiao Yunqi brought the doctor back, it was already dawn.
The doctor was startled when he saw Cheng Ping's purplish-blue chest, but was also surprised when he took his pulse.
"Although he had a high fever last night, his pulse has stabilized now. As long as he takes the medicine as prescribed, he should get better..."
Shen Qingyu has decided not to set up her stall today.
These past few days have been incredibly tiring, more tiring than the donkeys in the production team.
Let's take a day off and talk about it later.
"Wow! So many rabbits..." The children's exclamations came from the yard.
Shen Qingyu got up and slowly went into the kitchen to boil water for the children to wash their faces and make breakfast.
Yesterday, Xiao Yunqi brought back wild onions, toon sprouts, and a dead rabbit.
Shen Qingyu immediately skinned the rabbit, chopped up some rabbit meat, and stir-fried it with wild scallions until fragrant.
Wild scallion and egg pancakes, filled with fragrant diced rabbit meat, are so delicious that the children can't stop eating them.
"Mom, the rabbit meat buns are so delicious!"
"Mom, why are there so many rabbits?"
"Mom, let me raise the rabbits..."
"Mother, aren't you going to town to do business today?"
"mother……"
The children surrounded Shen Qingyu, chattering away and making conversation.
Shen Qingyu sat lazily on a small stool, responding with a few words here and there.
"I caught the rabbit on the mountain last night when I was looking for your father."
"Xiao Bao, you'll be in charge of feeding the rabbits from now on. They can eat grass. Hope they have lots of baby rabbits so we can eat rabbit meat often."
"I'm tired, I'm taking a break today..."
A pair of soft little hands squeezed Shen Qingyu's arm: "Mom must be very tired from getting up early and going to bed late. Let me massage you."
It's the second baby.
Erbao massaged Shen Qingyu's arm with great effort, while also paying attention to Shen Qingyu's expression.
