Chapter 3170 Fear
Zhou Man couldn't continue writing anymore, so he simply collected the documents on the desk, put them in the basket, and said, "Go home and write."
She called Xibing and said, "Go and ask Doctor Wei to come for a consultation."
Cake: "Whose house are we going to?"
"Our family," Zhou Man said, "show it to my fourth brother. He is frightened and worried, and he is also seasick. Let Doctor Wei comfort the patient more."
Zhou Man paused as he put away the medical book and whispered to Bai Shan, "Will Fourth Brother be nervous if I go with you? Or should I just pretend I don't know about this?"
Bai Shan: "Fourth brother is not stupid. There are two good doctors in the county who are apprentices in your medical office. How could you possibly hide it from him?"
Zhou Man thought the same and said, "Okay, but in order not to make him nervous, I'll wait outside for a while."
It turned out that Zhou Silang was really stupid. He couldn't remember this at all, so when Bai Shan brought Doctor Wei in to see him, he quietly asked, "Man Bao, don't you know that I secretly asked for the doctor?"
Doctor Wei, who was about to sit down to see the patient, suddenly froze.
Bai Shan also paused for a moment, then said calmly, "I don't know. I asked someone to invite someone outside."
Zhou Silang didn't recognize that Doctor Wei was an apprentice in the medical department. He just leaned on the bed and looked at him, "Doctor, I think you look familiar. I seem to have seen you somewhere."
Doctor Wei said expressionlessly, "It's with Lord Zhou."
Bai Shan: ...
Zhou Silang nodded. "Indeed, I've seen many doctors at Manbao's. Which pharmacy are you from?"
"Wei Ji."
I haven't heard of it, but that didn't stop Zhou Silang from praising it. "I've heard of it, I've heard of it. Doctor Wei is truly an amazing painter."
Bai Shanzheng was drinking tea and almost spit out a mouthful of tea. He tried hard to swallow it and couldn't help coughing a few times. The corners of his eyes turned red and he almost cried.
"Fourth brother, are you still dizzy now?"
"Dizzy!" Zhou Silang covered his head and said, "It's not really dizzy, it's just that I don't sleep well. Not only do I keep having nightmares, but I also get woken up by startles. Once I wake up, it's hard to fall asleep again. It's like I'm always on a boat. Sometimes I want to wake up but can't. It's uncomfortable."
When Doctor Wei heard the symptoms, he said, "This isn't seasickness, is it? Or maybe it's more than just seasickness..."
Doctor Wei felt his pulse and thought he was just worrying too much, so he told him to relax. He said, "I'll prescribe a tranquilizing decoction for you."
Dr. Wei felt that he was frightened because it was his first time going out to sea. After all, the sea is dangerous.
Doctor Wei went downstairs to write a prescription and took a look at the prescription Zhou Man had written for him before. After reading it, he was silent for a long time and finally prescribed the same prescription for him.
Doctor Wei went to Zhou Man in frustration and said, "Master Zhou, the prescription you gave Mr. Zhou is already the best. I really can't think of a better one. Overthinking is ultimately a mental illness. He needs to let it go on his own."
Zhou Man nodded worriedly, thought hard, and finally ran back to the room to search.
Wu Yue hurriedly followed and asked, "Madam, what are you looking for?"
Zhou Man thought hard and said, "I remember when I was in the capital, I made incense for Lord Wei. I made some messes, but because the ingredients were precious, I couldn't bear to throw them away, so I put them in a sachet and box. Did I bring them with me?"
May thought about it and moved a stool over. She stepped on it and moved a box down from the cabinet. She opened it and found everything inside, even the bamboo grasshopper that Zhou Man played with when he was a child.
Wu Yue found a small box, opened it and took a look before handing it to Zhou Man. "Madam, is this it?"
Zhou Man took it, opened it and took out a small sachet. After smelling it, he nodded happily, "This is it."
Zhou Man took the incense bag and went to Zhou Silang. "Fourth brother, this is calming incense. I made it for Lord Wei before. It's a little broken. Put it in the incense burner and burn it before going to bed at night."
Zhou Silang lay on the bed like a patient, and said blankly, "Can a broken one be used?"
“Even if it’s broken up and not quite formed, the effect is still the same.”
Zhou Man opened the sachet and showed it to him. "I originally wanted to keep it for myself, but Bai Shan and I both slept so well that I never used it, so I put it in the box without thinking. Luckily I brought it with me when I came to Beihai County, otherwise it would have been wasted."
Zhou Silang became curious, "Is this incense really effective?"
"Try it, it calms the mind."
Zhou Silang put it into the incense burner at night. To make it more effective, he placed a stool next to the bed and moved the incense burner onto the stool...
Sniffing the faint fragrance, Zhou Silang's eyelids felt heavy as he slowly fell asleep. He didn't know if it was the calming incense or the tranquility soup he had just been drinking.
In the middle of the night, when it was quiet, Zhou Silang kicked his legs and everyone woke up suddenly.
Zhou Silang looked at the tent with his eyes open, touched the sweat on his forehead, and couldn't fall asleep for a long time, so he had to pull open the tent and get out of bed.
Zhou Silang took a look at the sky outside, couldn't help but sigh, and opened the door to go out.
It's strange, why can't he sleep?
Zhou Silang was puzzled. Manbao said that he was too worried, and Doctor Wei also said that he was too concerned. But he felt relieved after he came back and was not afraid. Why couldn't he sleep?
Zhou Silang felt that they had made a wrong diagnosis, he was clearly suffering from seasickness!
Zhou Silang paced around the yard, having a headache. Why would he need a tranquilizing decoction? Just give him some seasickness medicine. Unfortunately, Manbao had already used up all the seasickness-preventing medicine he had given him the last time he boarded the ship. Otherwise...
"Fourth brother, what are you doing?"
Zhou Silang fell to the ground with a thud. With trembling lips, he looked at Zhou Man, who suddenly appeared not far away in a white tunic. "I, I feel scared right now. Where's my sister-in-law? Quickly ask her to call my soul back."
Zhou Man: ...
A man passed by her from behind and quickly stepped forward to help Zhou Silang up. Zhou Silang then realized that there was not only Zhou Man standing there, but also Bai Shan. He asked him with trembling lips, "Why are you not sleeping so late at night?"
Bai Shan helped the man up and was silent for a long while. "Fourth brother, shouldn't we ask you this? What are you doing in the yard so late at night?"
Zhou Man said: "We were woken up by the sound of you walking back and forth."
She glared and said, "If it weren't for the guards and servants on duty around the mansion, we would have almost thought that the assassin had sneaked into our yard."
Zhou Silang: ...
Zhou Man reached out and grabbed his hand, pressing a few acupuncture points on him. He tried to pull his hand away in pain, but Zhou Man held him back. "Are you still afraid now?"
Zhou Silang stiffened his neck and said, "Am I afraid? I tripped over my left foot and fell."
"Yes, yes, you're not afraid," Zhou Man sat on the railing with him, pressing the acupuncture points on his hands while asking, "Can't sleep again?"
Zhou Silang nodded and said, "I slept well in the first half of the night, but I was startled awake in the second half."
Zhou Man was very curious, "What did you dream about?"
Zhou Silang frowned and didn't speak for a long time.
Zhou Man pushed him and said, "Just tell me. Maybe your illness will be cured if you tell me."
Zhou Silang said helplessly: "It was a nightmare, a mess. I first dreamed that I fell into the sea and drowned, and then I dreamed that assassins appeared on the ship and killed me, and you and Bai Shan also encountered assassins..."
He frowned and said, "Anyway, it was just a mess of nightmares, and then I woke up."
Bai Shan was surprised and asked pointedly, "Why did Fourth Brother think that Manbao and I would encounter assassins?"
The two of them did not spread the news that Zhou Man had encountered an assassin. No one else in the family knew about it except Bai Erlang and Yin Huo, let alone Zhou Silang who had just returned.
See you tomorrow, good night
