Chapter 54
Silence fell over the ward.
Yu Juan's eyes widened. Oh no, she seemed to have blown too much.
She reached out to take her sister's hand again.
Yu Lan moved her buttocks back a few steps until she was next to her son's feet before she stopped.
Seeing her sister back away, Yu Juan said somewhat awkwardly, "What's the use of telling you? It's just a waste of your worry."
Yu Lan remained expressionless and directly avoided Yu Juan's outstretched hand, clearly indicating that she was angry.
Looking at his wife, who was getting a little out of control, standing on the side of Suzhou Road, and glancing at his angry sister-in-law, he couldn't help but wipe the fine sweat from his forehead.
He cautiously stepped out: "We're all family. Your sister was just worried you'd be concerned. Now let's get back to the main topic, let's get back to the main topic~"
"Hmph~"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a cold snort followed.
Suzhou Road: ...
He shouldn't have been standing between those two sisters.
Yu Juan: "Let's put that aside for now. As for traditional Chinese medicine, I'm not lying to you. I felt so sorry for my nephew when I saw his condition."
"Beep beep..."
The sound of an electrocardiogram monitor could be heard from the quiet room.
Each sound struck Yu Lan's heart. After a long while, she opened her mouth and met her sister's gaze.
"Can we have a doctor come here?"
"I'm afraid that going back and forth like this won't be such a simple matter."
Li Zixuan's condition is still in a dangerous range; he shows signs of organ failure, but...
What if!
To put it bluntly, we don't know if that doctor is reliable or capable.
Yu Lan didn't want to gamble with her son's life.
Yu Juan wasn't entirely clear on the specifics, but she consulted Lao Su.
The younger sister was also considering the points that she was somewhat worried about, but she trusted the master.
Upon receiving the signal, Suzhou Road coughed lightly: "There will be police officers and doctors accompanying us. My brother-in-law has told you all this, and I've considered all the issues. Zixuan's condition is not optimistic right now, so let's just give it a try."
Yu Lan frowned slightly: "I'll discuss it with Lao Li."
"What are you discussing?"
When Old Li, who had come from home to get something, entered the room, he was still a little confused.
Upon seeing the two people in the hospital room, she greeted them warmly, "Sister, brother-in-law, you're here!"
"I bought some grapes, I'll go wash them and you guys can try them."
"Wait a minute," Suzhou Road called out to Lao Li, "That's not important, the situation is like this..."
"And then I..."
Suzhou Road was a driver, not a big talker, but not a small talker either. After finishing his monologue, he glanced at Old Li and asked, "What do you think? Do you want to go?"
After saying that, he added, "I still suggest you go see him. We know this doctor well, so we're not completely clueless about his abilities."
The Suzhou dialect is spoken very clearly.
It was also for the good of his son, Zixuan.
Old Li's smile vanished. He put down the fruit, went to the only small window in the ward, felt the cool breeze, and lowered his head in deep thought.
He encountered the attending physician when he entered the ward.
The doctor's expression was grave, and from his words, Old Li understood that his son's future was probably not looking good.
In the current situation, we have no choice but to try anything, even if it seems hopeless.
Having made up his mind, Old Li took a deep breath, walked up to the group, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Let's go, we'll go."
Yu Lan was somewhat surprised that he made a decision so quickly: "Old Li!"
Old Li: "Go ahead, our son is in the hospital now, and the doctors are helpless. We might as well go there and see."
A voice inside him.
They kept saying they'd regret it if they didn't go.
Yu Lan didn't have a good solution for the moment, so she relented and said, "Okay, sister and brother-in-law, thank you for your help."
"It's all as it should be."
...
"Chirp chirp~"
"Woof woof!"
After the retreat ended, the little yellow bird curled up on her shoulder again, unwilling to get down.
Liangyi, unable to bear it any longer, let out a couple of cries.
"Woof woof..."
It called out, and the remaining team members responded sparsely, in a very perfunctory manner, which made Liangyi forget about the little yellow bird and bite the two dogs with her little head.
"Woof!"
With their high positions and official authority, the two Yis caused Taiji to fall to the ground first, its four legs in the air, revealing its pink belly and begging for mercy. Yinyang followed closely behind, prompting Lingxi, who was watching from the sidelines, to take the initiative.
The little belly is very soft and feels great to the touch. After a few strokes, the puppy's eyes close comfortably, thoroughly enjoying the woman's caresses.
Liangyi considered itself stable and that no ordinary dog could replace it.
He casually slipped between the two dogs, not caring that he had stepped on his brother's fur or even his tail, and straightened his posture, his wet dog eyes filled with longing.
Before Lingxi could retract her hand, its pink tongue gently licked her arm.
Such behavior.
How could I let it down?
Lingxi naturally had to treat it well.
Thus, Captain Ryougi took the center position, further solidifying his position as captain.
Jin Moli exhaled slowly, finished her practice, and with a gentle wave of her fingers, a breeze carrying a rich floral fragrance circled around Lingxi once before quietly disappearing.
Lingxi smiled faintly: "Naughty."
Hehe~
"Chirp chirp~"
When the yellow-bellied mountain sparrow saw Little Jasmine come out, it circled around on her head and then stood on Lingxi's shoulder.
Jin Moli was pleasantly surprised, thinking that it was willing to cuddle with her.
She softened her voice, "Little Yellow~"
But Xiao Huang looked left and right and just wouldn't take the bait.
The girl wasn't angry; she skipped and hopped after Lingxi to the front yard.
Suddenly, a slight noise came from the gate.
Yun Qingzi walked over, "Master, Senior Sister."
"The food has all been packed up."
Yun Qingzi lowered her head and nodded: "I've already had Long Xiaozi transport it out. Officer Yang called me and said he'll arrive at Linxi Cave this afternoon."
"The speed is quite fast."
Lingxi nodded. "Tell them to go directly to your place when they arrive, and not to come to me."
"By the way, Qingzi, draw more detection symbols during this period."
Yun Qingzi paused, then said, "Give this to Officer Yang."
"It's impossible that the sect won't make any moves later; giving them the opportunity will allow them to prepare."
"Okay, I'll go now."
Jin Moli walked over, her little face tilted to the side: "Junior brother~ why did you leave?"
"You think we're like the two of us with nothing to do? Your junior brother is busy!"
"Oh." The little girl pouted, secretly complaining that she was too small and couldn't even compare to her junior brother's.
I could hear the disappointment in the girl's voice.
Lingxi turned around and saw the little girl looking listless, which made her want to laugh. While others were thinking about shirking their responsibilities, this child was actually thinking about finding work to do.
They really haven't experienced the harsh realities of society.
Too naive.
Lingxi shook her head and immediately said, "Come on, I'll find you something to do."
The girl's round eyes lit up: "Really?"
See that pile of supplies in the yard?
"I saw it."
"Then let's go, Jasmine!"
Lingxi plans to build a wooden frame next to the flower bed, place a large round stone table and benches on the ground, and plant a grapevine next to it. When the sun shines down, the grapevine will stretch out freely, and the green leaves like fans will rustle. In the height of summer, how pleasant it would be to be under the grape trellis.
The wooden frame, stone table, and stone benches were piled up in the courtyard. Lingxi stood still, while Jin Moli looked at the renderings, waved her magic, and started the process.
The piled-up objects suddenly rise from the sky, are automatically categorized, and assembled one by one.
In less than ten minutes, a brand new wooden frame was completed.
Fearing the frame might be unstable and collapse, Jin Moli used magic to liquefy the cement underneath and restore it to its original state, while the upright wooden frame remained firmly fixed inside, stable and secure.
Despite her small size, Jin Moli possesses an innate talent for organizing and arranging, leaving Lingxi feeling inferior.
Before her master could speak, Jin Moli took out grape seeds.
With a mere wave of her hand, the grayish-brown seeds naturally flew down to the flower bed in the corner of the grape trellis.
The girl made a hand seal and released her magic. The seeds in the soil received the spiritual energy, sprouted, and the brown vines spontaneously found the wooden frame, climbed up it, and continued to meander to every crevice of the frame.
This isn't over yet.
Green leaves and light green flower clusters continued to grow on the vines before finally coming to a complete stop.
The August sun blazed overhead.
Lingxi approached, looked up, and saw the sunlight shining on the newly sprouted grape leaves, like pale green lamps. Through the gaps, large and small, filtering through the branches and leaves, the blue sky and white clouds seemed to take shape.
After a series of movements, Jin Moli looked somewhat listless.
He lay down on the newly made stone bench to rest.
Lingxi quietly sat on another stone bench, smiling slightly.
Quietly wait for your eldest disciple to recover his spiritual power.
...
On the other side
Li Zixuan leaned weakly against Yu Lan's chest, his eyes fixed on the scenery outside.
We had been driving for almost three hours by then.
They were about to reach Linxi Cave in half an hour.
Yu Juan glanced at her nephew's face and breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that he seemed to be in good spirits.
The view outside the window changed from a steel jungle to lush greenery, and even the wind blowing in was no longer hot. A refreshing coolness hit her face, easing the unease in her heart.
Driving along the roadside in Suzhou, I exclaimed, "The scenery here is amazing! It's only 20 degrees Celsius outside, so it's very cool."
Yang Lanling sat in the passenger seat, contacted her younger brother, and then put down her phone.
After learning about Linxi Cave, he specifically looked up information about the area around it. He said, "The scenery here has been beautiful since ancient times, but the mountain roads were difficult to travel. It has only become a little better in recent years after the roads were repaired."
Not many people know about Suzhou Road; "that person has always lived there."
"No, she only started living in Linxi Cave this year."
Suzhou Road was somewhat surprised: "You just went there?"
"Um."
The group chatted occasionally as they passed through a dark cave.
Suddenly, the Linxi Cave, shrouded in mist, appeared before everyone's eyes.
Linxi Cave is surrounded by mountains, with a pleasant temperature and fresh air. The group couldn't resist opening all the car windows, letting the wind blow into the car.
Suzhou Road, which I thought had pretty good air quality, took a breath of the wind blowing in and a look of surprise flashed in my eyes.
Li Zixuan, who was sitting next to his mother, suddenly looked much better and was even able to get up and put his head close to the car window.
"Zixuan looks much more energetic now."
Yu Lan had been worried and silent since before she set off, but now that she saw her son was getting better, a smile appeared on her face.
Old Li forced a smile; he was anxious to see the doctor as soon as possible and find out how he was doing. "He's much better. By the way, Officer Yang, brother-in-law, shall we go straight to the doctor now?"
"Come with my brother later, he'll help us with the arrangements," Yang Lanling said calmly, his expression unchanged.
The remaining people immediately felt relieved.
Despite his young age, this police officer handled everything perfectly, leaving no room for complaint from any of them.
Then, they drove down Suzhou Road and arrived at the convenience store.
Yang Lanting and Long Xingye were already waiting there. After confirming the license plate, they drove directly to the roadside.
"elder brother……"
