Chapter 618 Night Watch
Zhao Xi took the damp cloth that Shu Yu handed him and wiped his hands, saying, "I've removed all the rotten flesh from his body. Now it's up to him to see if he can pull through."
As he spoke, he handed a medicine bottle to the Fang family mother and daughter, instructing them, "He's not in any serious condition now; he's already asleep. But you two need to keep an eye on him from now on. If he starts to have a fever, give him this medicine. Also, keep a close eye on his wound to make sure it doesn't tear or get rubbed. I'll come back to check on him again tomorrow."
The Fang family mother and daughter quickly took the medicine bottle and thanked Zhao Xi repeatedly.
Zhao Xi waved his hand, "Alright, it's getting late, let's head back now."
Fang Xiyue quickly saw him out, but after taking a few steps, Zhao Xi turned back, looked at the expressions of the Fang mother and daughter, and said, "I know you hunted a pheasant today. Don't give it to your father for now. You can give it to him to nourish him when he's more stable. As for you two, you can eat something with some oil and fat. Otherwise, you're in such poor condition that you might not be able to hold on until your father recovers."
The two of them looked pale and bloodless, and with the added pressure, if they continued to eat only one coarse flour bun per meal, they would surely collapse in a couple of days.
He was a doctor, and Fang Xiyue knew he was doing it for their own good, so she immediately nodded, "Okay, we'll listen to Dr. Lu."
Upon hearing the name "Doctor Lu," Zhao Xi felt short of breath.
He glanced at Shu Yu, then walked away angrily, without even taking the first-aid kit.
Fang Xiyue was completely bewildered, not knowing what she had said wrong, and immediately looked at Shu Yu nervously.
The latter smiled and said, "It's nothing. He just said the pheasant was hungry and wanted to go home for dinner. You go back and check on your dad. I'm leaving too."
After saying that, Shu Yu picked up Zhao Xi's medicine box and left the Fang family's house.
Fang Xiyue watched her figure until it disappeared from sight before turning around and going back into the house.
Fang's mother was already in the room wiping the sweat from Fang's father's forehead. There was still a lot of trash left on the floor after the treatment, so Fang Xiyue quickly bent down to clean it up.
After she finished tidying up, she went inside and said to her mother, "Mother, after dinner, you should go and take a nap. I'll stay and watch over Father."
Fang's mother shook her head, and just as she was about to say something, Fang Xiyue continued, "We'll take turns until dawn. You can keep watch, and I'll go to sleep. Tomorrow, you can take a day off and rest at home."
"you……"
“I have to go hunting in the mountains. Ayu and I teamed up, and it’s only the first day. I can’t just leave her behind and go into the mountains alone. So I can’t take a day off. It’ll just be a bit more tiring for you, Mom.”
Fang's mother reached out and touched her head. "You're the one who's more tired. Since we're going into the mountains tomorrow, don't keep watch. Just go and rest after you finish eating. Otherwise, you might be sleepy when you go into the mountains tomorrow, and it could be dangerous. I can take care of things here."
Fang Xiyue disagreed. Fang's mother had also been busy all day and was exhausted. How could she not sleep?
After discussing it, the mother and daughter decided that after dinner, Fang's mother would go to rest and sleep for two hours before Fang Xiyue would go to sleep.
After discussing it, Fang Xiyue went to prepare the food.
While the Fang family was still busy preparing, the Lu family was already enjoying a hot meal.
While munching on the large chicken leg that the old lady handed her, Shu Yu asked Daya, "Sister, why did you come at this time? Are Mom and Dad alright?"
