Xiao Youran pricked up her ears. What does "first fall" mean?
Wen Yuanbai's face darkened further, and his voice turned icy, "Get out!"
Nan Zhuo hesitated, but seeing his master's dark expression, he gestured for Xiao Youran to carry Xiao Bai and follow him out.
After closing the door, Nan Zhuo didn't dare to say anything out of turn. He extended a hand and said, "Xiao Youran, let me see you out."
Little Youran blinked, took a few quick steps, and walked out first.
As she reached a corner, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked in a childish voice, "Brother Nan, what does 'first fall of the day' mean?"
Nan Zhuo touched his nose, then whispered to him, "Little Fu Bao, to tell you the truth, our master falls three times a day, so it's called 'Three Falls a Day'."
Xiao Youran gasped, "Falling three times a day?"
"Yes, ever since our master learned to walk, he has been falling every day. He falls while walking, falls down the stairs, falls when getting out of bed, falls over the threshold, falls while running, he falls in all sorts of ways."
Xiao You Ran: ……
This isn't a fall, it's just bad luck!
No wonder the first time I saw him, he had fallen from a tree.
He even fell into the pond twice...
"So he's been resting in bed these past few days?"
“You need to get up to use the restroom or something, right? Anyway, I’ve been falling three times a day without stopping.” Nan Zhuo added, “When he pushed you just now, I thought he was going to start the first fall, but he didn’t fall, which is why I was shocked.”
Xiao Youran was also shocked, "That's not considered falling, does it have to be falling to the ground to count?"
Nan Zhuo nodded, "Yes, every time I try to catch them, I can't, and I can't lift them up. They're bound to fall to the ground."
Xiao Youran became curious again, "If an ordinary person fell like that, they would definitely get bruised and battered, but he doesn't look bruised at all."
Nan Zhuo didn't feel like he was talking to a four-year-old at all, and said, "This is another very strange thing. Every time he falls, he is in great pain, but outsiders can't tell, and there are no external injuries."
Xiao Youran remembered seeing him limping at the fabric shop last time, and tilted her head curiously, saying, "No way, last time I saw Da Bai limping at the fabric shop, didn't he fall?"
Nan Zhuo then realized that the little girl in front of him was only four years old, and had only thought that was the way she walked after falling down.
However, he dared not speak carelessly about the fact that his master was a cripple.
Just then, Doctor Gu walked over with a medical book in his hand. When he saw Xiao Youran, he was overjoyed. "Little Fu Bao, I was just looking for you! Where did you find that red Ganoderma lucidum?"
Little Youran blinked her big eyes and said, "It's on the mountain."
Doctor Gu was very excited and pointed at Nan Zhuo, saying, "Quickly, tell Steward Zhang to prepare a carriage for me. I also want to go for a walk in the mountains."
Nan Zhuo remained calm and collected, "What do you think you can find by going up the mountain?"
What do you mean by that, kid?
"Haven't you heard that the villagers of Sanyang Village have searched the mountain several times a day, but still can't find anything to eat?" Nan Zhuo pointed at Xiao Youran. "It's been circulating in the village for a long time that only when Xiao Fubao goes up the mountain can they hunt and find food."
Doctor Gu glared and said, "Then let Little Fu Bao come up the mountain with me."
Xiao You Ran: ……
Did you consult me before you asked me to be your mascot?
She asked in her childish voice, "What is Doctor Gu going to look for on the mountain?"
Doctor Gu then remembered, put away his medical book, and bowed deeply to Xiao Youran. "This red Ganoderma lucidum saved my young master's life. The chronic poison in his body is very troublesome, and he also suffers from asthma. We can't use strong medicine; we can only use extremely mild antidotes to slowly remove it. I was just worried about not having a suitable antidote when I unexpectedly found the red Ganoderma lucidum. His poison will depend on this red Ganoderma lucidum, but he will need to take it for three to six months. I just snatched it..."
He realized he had used the wrong words and coughed twice, "Ahem, the little bit of red Ganoderma lucidum I brought back can only last for ten days or half a month."
Xiao Youran could understand that some chronic diseases have a long course and require a long treatment time, just like the venereal disease that Liu's son had. Even with modern penicillin, he still had to take the medicine for three months.
She thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow I will go up the mountain with Doctor Gu, and I will give you directions."
She wondered if there might still be red Ganoderma lucidum growing in that cave; if so, that would be a good thing.
These past few days, Madam Yu has been focused on the cloth shop and hasn't had time to go to the cave to see what's going on. If Doctor Gu can bring Nan Zhuo with him tomorrow, then there's no need to be afraid of any poisonous snakes or wild beasts on the mountain.
...
The next day, as expected, Xiao Youran saw Nan Zhuo, uh... and Wen Yuanbai following behind Doctor Gu.
She really wanted to go up and ask, "Aren't you afraid of falling on the mountain?"
But looking at Wen Yuanbai's cold, dark face, she thought about it and decided against it.
But that didn't stop her from quietly running to Nan Zhuo's side and tugging at his sleeve.
Nan Zhu leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Little Fu Bao, what's wrong?"
"Why isn't your master afraid of falling three times a day? This is a mountain road; if he falls, it's no joke," Xiao Youran whispered.
Nan Zhuo glanced at his master's confident back as he climbed the mountain, then lowered his voice, "This morning, he tripped and fell three times on his own."
Xiao Youran: !!!
Is this even possible?
She paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Wen Yuanbai, who was in front, turned around and gave them a cold look.
Nan Zhuo immediately gritted his teeth and followed.
Jiang Youchen held Xiao Youran's hand from behind and walked slowly. When he saw that the three people in front of him were a little further away, he muttered softly, "Little sister, this young master of the Wen family is weird and looks unlucky. You should avoid contact with him."
Xiao Youran covered her mouth and chuckled secretly, "Brother, don't you like him?"
Jiang Youchen rolled her eyes. "If you hadn't asked me to discuss the distribution of disaster relief food and clothing with Steward Zhang, I wouldn't want to have much contact with them."
"Why?" Xiaoyou asked cutely.
Jiang Youchen thought for a moment and realized that she shouldn't have told her sister that seeing the young master of the Wen family with her made her uncomfortable. Seeing Xiaobai's figure flash past their feet, she immediately blurted out, "His name clashes with Xiaobai's!"
Little Youran giggled again, "Brother, you've become naughty."
Jiang Youchen whispered to his sister, "What kind of miracle medicine did you give this young master Wen last time, and what illness did it cure? If that Doctor Gu asks again, and I don't know, I can't help you take the blame."
Xiao Youran replied, "It's the medicine that can treat Young Master Wen's cough and asthma. If Doctor Gu asks for it again, just say you'll come back for it, and I'll get it for you."
