Xiahou Yi's gaze also lingered on Wei Ting's disguised face for a moment.

"Second uncle."

At this time, Xiahou Qing also came to the wheelchair, bent over and pulled up the thick blanket that had slipped off his body, "It's so cold outside, why did you come out?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xiahou Yi from behind Wei Ting.

He is afraid of the cold.

But since he is so weak, it is not surprising that he is afraid of the cold.

Seeing that Xiahou Yi did not answer him but turned to look at Duanmu Yun in Baihua Palace, Xiahou Qing introduced him, "Second Uncle, he is Duanmu Yun, the son of Yun Shuang, and the one standing behind him is his wife."

After that, he said to Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting, "He is my second uncle."

Wei Ting bowed and said, "Second Master."

He had a serious attitude and a gentle tone, as if the eye contact just now had never happened.

Su Xiaoxiao also came over to say hello.

Xiahou Qing said to the two of them, "My second uncle has difficulty speaking."

In fact, he didn't need to explain to Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting. They both knew very well that he did it for Ling Yun's sake.

"Uncle, I'll push you in."

Xiahou Qing personally pushed Xiahou Yi into the house.

This is the bedroom. The space is spacious but not luxurious, and it exudes an ancient wood fragrance everywhere.

There is a large landscape screen at the entrance, and his step-out bed is behind the screen.

On the right is the study room, with a desk, bookshelves, and several island landscape paintings hanging on the wall.

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes fell on a large bow hanging on the wall.

Granny Nie said casually, "When the Second Master was young, he was a good archer and was very good at riding and shooting."

Xiahou Qing nodded when he heard this: "That's right, it's a pity that since he got sick, Second Uncle has never touched a bow and arrow again."

Xiahou Qing pushed Xiahou Yi behind the screen, but Xiahou Yi was unwilling to lie on the bed.

"Just take the pulse like this."

Xiahou Qing said to Mr. Qiu and Granny Nie.

Mr. Qiu first took Xiahou Yi's pulse and examined his body at the same time.

During this time, he needs to take off his clothes.

Xiahou Yi seemed to have become numb long ago, and did not feel ashamed of exposing himself in front of others without any dignity.

Su Xiaoxiao is a doctor, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

However, Xiahou Qing looked at Su Xiaoxiao with some surprise.

The customs of Qianshan Island are different from those of Da Zhou and other countries. There are many martial arts sects here, and most of the women are not particular about trivial matters.

But it is rare for someone of Su Xiaoxiao's age to be so calm.

Xiahou Yi is only in his early fifties, younger than Old Man Qiu and Granny Nie, but he looks as if he is about to die.

This was the first time Su Xiaoxiao had seen such a thin and dilapidated body since she came to this other world.

It is hard to imagine that such a body contains huge ambitions to deal with the Wei family.

Could it be that I made a mistake?

Su Xiaoxiao muttered secretly.

No.

Don't be fooled by appearances.

But I still can't understand why he dealt with the Wei family?

Thinking differently, what benefits could dealing with the Wei family bring him? Su Xiaoxiao couldn't figure it out.

She glanced at Wei Ting inadvertently, only to find that Wei Ting was concentrating on looking at the landscape painting on the wall.

At this time, Su Xiaoxiao's advantages emerged.

She came to Xia Houqing with an obedient look on her face and said softly, "My eldest brother likes to collect antique paintings very much. I didn't expect that the second master likes it too."

Everything can be soaring! Xiahou Qing immediately became interested: "These paintings are not antiques. My second uncle liked to travel around the island when he was young. He would paint any beautiful scenery he saw along the way."

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Wei Ting with admiration: "It turned out to be the painting of the Second Master. It's really well painted!"

Wei Ting is not a doctor, so he doesn't have to stay by the bed.

He simply walked up to the portrait with confidence.

Xiahou Qing said nothing.

"come over."

Granny Nie said to Su Xiaoxiao.

"Yes, mother-in-law!"

Su Xiaoxiao put the medicine box on the stool and took a handkerchief to place under Xia Houqing's wrist.

Granny Nie felt Su Xiaoxiao's pulse and said, "Come and see too."

"yes."

Su Xiaoxiao squatted down and placed her fingertips on Xiahou Yi's wrist.

She clearly felt that Xiahou Yi was staring at her.

That feeling of being stared at by a dead person came back.

Su Xiaoxiao had faced many powerful enemies, but no one had ever given her such a chilly feeling.

She put aside all distractions and focused on taking Xiahou Yi's pulse.

His pulse showed that he was already on his last legs, and any amount of medicine he took would only be able to keep him alive.

His decline is irreversible.

Perhaps this is what is so scary about this disease.

Once the disease occurs, all you can do is wait for death.

What’s even more torturous is that this disease can cause pain all over the body.

Old Qiu looked at Su Xiaoxiao calmly.

He had experienced Su Xiaoxiao's medical skills, which were not inferior to his and Nie Jinfeng's.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head slightly.

She hasn't figured out what disease Xiahou Yi has yet to recover from.

"Rumor has it, it's a curse."

After coming out, Granny Nie said to Su Xiaoxiao.

Granny Nie came to the next room on the pretext of discussing treatment with Mr. Qiu.

Su Xiaoxiao accompanied them.

"Curse?" Su Xiaoxiao didn't understand.

Granny Nie said, "When I first arrived at the Nie family, Nie Yangshan's grandfather was still alive. Unfortunately, the city lord at that time also fell ill. A doctor offered to go off the island to find medicine for him, and Nie Yangshan's grandfather left Qianshan Island as a guard. In the process of looking for medicine, they heard some secrets. The ancestors of the Xiahou family betrayed the monarch and were cursed by the national teacher. Since then, the Xiahou family has been suffering from strange diseases for generations."

"Isn't this rumor a little too absurd?"

Su Xiaoxiao doesn't believe in the curse.

But the Xiahou family betrayed the monarch...this is a bit interesting.

There is no monarch on Qianshan Island.

If the rumors are true, who did the ancestors of the Xiahou family betray? Which country's monarch?

Of course, it’s possible that none of these rumors are true.

Granny Nie said to Old Qiu, "I don't have any good ideas. You can do whatever you want."

Old Qiu nodded, wrote a new prescription, and gave it to Xiahou Qing.

At the same time, he took out a bottle of tranquilizer from his arms, saying that it was given by Grandma Nie, and it could relieve Xiahou Yi's pain at night.

Xiahou Qing said to Granny Nie who had also returned: "Thank you, Granny."

Granny Nie said, "We are leaving first. City Lord and Second Master, take care."

Mr. Qiu also wants to leave.

Xiahou Qing said, "It's rare for Elder Qiu to come back, so please stay at the mansion for a few more days so that you can treat my second uncle's illness."

Old Qiu looked at Su Xiaoxiao with resentment.

Su Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and waved silently to Mr. Qiu.

Before leaving, she noticed that Xiahou Yi was staring at her again, so she turned around and looked at Xiahou Yi.

At this moment, Xiahou Yi suddenly moved his lips and said something to Su Xiaoxiao using lip language.

It's time to finish, but I'm a bit stuck. Every day I'm jumping back and forth between finishing it as early as possible and writing more.
