Chen Xiaoru held the medicine jar and carefully poured the medicine into the bowl. The hot steam was filled with a strong smell of medicine.
Chen Xiaoyu stood obediently by the side, staring at her without blinking, like a little tail.
Chen Xiaoru looked at him like this, her heart softened, and she said softly:
"Xiaoyu, find something to do for yourself first, or go play with Qingshan for a while, okay? I'll go give your brother-in-law some medicine."
"Sister, I'll wait for you here."
Xiaoyu shook her head, her voice soft and sticky with a hint of subtle stubbornness.
"Okay, then just stay here and I'll be out soon."
Chen Xiaoru smiled helplessly. This child is still a little restrained when he first arrived, but he should be fine after a few days of getting along.
Chen Xiaoru took the medicine and turned to walk towards Song Zhe's room.
As she walked, she muttered to the system in her mind: "System, what about Song Zhe? He's been to so many doctors and they all said there's nothing wrong with him. Could he be poisoned?"
"Host, I can't tell you this. You need to discover it yourself." The system's voice was a little mechanical and mischievous.
"No matter whether he is poisoned or not, let's try an antidote pill first. How many points will it give?" Chen Xiaoru curled her lips and calculated secretly in her mind.
When the system heard that the host had the intention to consume, its voice became cheerful: "Host, the detoxification pill is 100 points each!"
"What? 100 points? You're stealing money!"
Chen Xiaoru almost jumped up. This system was even more shady than a profiteer! "Cheaper, quicker!"
"Host, you are making things difficult for me..." the system said aggrievedly.
"Stop talking nonsense. Do you want a discount? Just one word!" Chen Xiaoru urged impatiently.
"Alright, alright. Since the host is so sincere, then... 80 points will be enough."
The system reluctantly relented, its voice filled with pain.
"That's more like it."
Chen Xiaoru nodded with satisfaction, "Divide the detoxification pill into two for me, and put a body-strengthening pill and half of the detoxification pill in this bowl of medicine."
The system quickly completed the operation according to Chen Xiaoru's requirements.
Chen Xiaoru pushed open the door, holding the medicine in her hand. Suddenly, a classic scene flashed through her mind. She couldn't help but burst out laughing and said to herself, "If this were followed by the words 'Da Lang, it's time to take your medicine', it would be even more appropriate."
Chen Xiaoru stopped laughing, walked to the bed, gently placed the bowl of medicine on the bedside table, then carefully helped Song Zhe up and let him lean on her arms.
She picked up the medicine bowl, brought it to his lips, and said gently, "Come, drink the medicine, it will be cold in a while."
Song Zhe opened his mouth slightly and drank the medicine in one breath from Chen Xiaoru's hand.
"Husband, don't you feel bitter?" Chen Xiaoru blinked and asked curiously, with a hint of heartache in her voice.
Song Zhe smiled weakly and shook his head: "I've gotten used to it during this time."
"Okay, then you have a good rest, I'm going out first."
Chen Xiaoru gently put him back on the bed, carefully tucked in the corners of the quilt, then picked up the empty bowl, turned around and walked out.
Listening to her departing footsteps, Song Zhe slowly closed his eyes, an indescribable feeling welling up in his heart.
This medicine... seemed different from the previous ones. Although it was still bitter, after swallowing it, a warm current flowed through his body, making his originally heavy and tired body seem to feel a little lighter.
Could it be... that this was truly her doing? Who was she? Why had she suddenly appeared here?
And why was she so nice to him? Questions swirled in Song Zhe's mind, making his already chaotic thoughts even more confused.
But he knew, at least now, that she sincerely wanted to take care of him. Maybe... he could try to trust her?
Chen Xiaoru put the bowl back in the kitchen and wiped her hands gently. She turned around and saw Xiaoyu still waiting there, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips.
"Little Fish,"
Chen Xiaoru squatted down and looked at the little boy at eye level, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. "Shall we go pick some wild vegetables?"
She pointed to the bamboo basket in the corner of the kitchen and stood up briskly.
Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and he nodded excitedly, his voice clear and pleasant:
"OK!"
Chen Xiaoru reached out and rubbed Xiaoyu's hair, and said with a smile: "Then let's go now."
She picked up the bamboo basket, took Xiaoyu's hand, they smiled at each other, and walked out the door with light steps.
Chen Xiaoru and Xiaoyu walked slowly along the mountain path and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain. As they continued to walk up, they suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
"Qingshan, what are you doing here?" Chen Xiaoru asked with a smile, curiosity glittering in her eyes.
Song Qingshan lowered his head, holding a few wild vegetables in his hands, and a slight blush appeared on his face. He raised his head and answered shyly, "Sister-in-law, I'm picking wild vegetables."
Chen Xiaoru's eyes lit up, and an idea struck her. She gently patted Xiaoyu's shoulder and said to Song Qingshan, "That's perfect! Qingshan, can you take Xiaoyu with you to pick wild vegetables? I want to go to the mountains and see if there are any good things."
Song Qingshan nodded, a gentle smile on his face: "Well, no problem."
Chen Xiaoru squatted down, put her hands gently on Xiaoyu's shoulders, and said softly:
"Xiaoyu, just follow Qingshan here and pick wild vegetables. You have to listen to him, okay?"
Xiaoyu nodded obediently. He knew that following his sister into the mountains might cause trouble for her, so he agreed sensibly.
