Chapter 847 (Page 1/2)
An hour later, Lin Man slowly stood up, went to the water room to get a pot of hot water, then poured a packet of earth dragon ball powder into the cup, and then started brewing.
As time passed, the strong aroma of medicine gradually spread.
Lin Man happily picked up the cup, put it close to her nose and took a light sniff. A strange smell instantly entered her nose.
She couldn't help but frown, thinking to herself: Why does this Earth Dragon Ball have such a strange smell?
But on second thought, the Black Qilin should not deceive her. After all, he even handed over such a precious thousand-year-old blood ginseng to her without hesitation, so how could he tamper with this small Earth Dragon Ball?
Lin Man calmed herself down, turned around and returned to the room. She whispered to Huo Qingci, who was lying on the bed, "This medicine tastes a bit strange. How about I help you up, and you just pinch your nose and drink it quickly!"
Huo Qingci smiled faintly and comforted her, "Manman, don't worry about me. When I broke my arm as a child, I even drank Chinese medicine made with earthworms and ground beetles, something so hard to swallow. What's this little bit of bitterness?"
Hearing this, Lin Man felt relieved. She patiently waited for the medicine in the cup to slowly cool down until it reached the right temperature.
Then she gently helped Huo Qingci up and handed the cup to him.
Huo Qingci took a deep breath, picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
However, the unpleasant smell was so strong that as soon as it entered his throat, he felt nauseous and almost wanted to vomit.
At this moment, Lin Man, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, quickly took out a sour plum candy from her pocket and stuffed it into Huo Qingci's mouth.
The sour taste of the plum candy instantly spread across the tip of his tongue, perfectly masking the bitterness and odor of the remaining medicine. Huo Qingci pursed his lips and held the plum candy in his mouth, finally suppressing the strange taste in his throat.
Lin Man looked at Huo Qingci with a frown on his face and laughed. He had just said that he drank Chinese medicine made from earthworms and ground beetles when he was a child. Why was he frowning like this now?
It seems that the earth dragon balls ground into powder and soaked in water are really unpalatable!
Not long after, Huo Qingci's originally furrowed brows gradually relaxed. Seeing this, Lin Man beside him smiled happily and said softly:
"Qingci, you look like you should be feeling better now. Come, let me move one of your pillows so you can lie down more comfortably and have a good rest." As she spoke, she reached out to take away a pillow.

However, at this moment, Huo Qingci suddenly tugged at Lin Man's hand without warning, and shouted in a trembling voice, "Manman, this is bad! I feel like my internal organs are burning like they're on fire. This medicine is too strong!"
His face instantly turned pale as paper, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead.
Lin Man was frightened by Huo Qingci's sudden condition and asked in panic, "Qingci, what happened to you? Is something wrong? I... I don't know what to do!"
She looked at Huo Qingci's painful expression anxiously, and her eyes suddenly became moist.
Despite the immense pain he was enduring, Huo Qingci still managed to comfort her, saying, "Manman, don't worry. Didn't you tell me before that this medicine is a magical elixir for treating internal injuries?"
If that's the case, then there's definitely nothing wrong with it. And the fact that this medicine is so potent might just mean it's effective. Don't worry, I'll definitely grit my teeth and persevere."
After saying this, he bit his lips tightly, as if trying to fight against the severe pain in his body.
After hearing what Huo Qingci said, Lin Man calmed down a little, then reached out and gently placed her hand on Huo Qingci's forehead, only to feel that the touch was extremely hot.
She said with concern: "Oh, your forehead is so hot! I will go get a basin of cold water and a wet towel to give you a cold compress. Maybe this will make you feel a little more comfortable." As she said that, she turned around to get some water.
But before she could take a step, Huo Qingci grabbed her hand tightly again and pleaded urgently:
"Manman, don't go! My head hurts so much, as if it's going to explode. Please stay with me, okay?"
At this moment, he was like a helpless child, his eyes full of fear and dependence.
Lin Man knew that in this situation, even if she went to see a doctor immediately, it would probably be futile.
After all, this elixir has begun to take effect, and it will take a process for the medicine to be absorbed and quickly repair internal injuries. The stronger the medicine, the faster and better the effect will be.
Thinking of this, she stopped and sat back down beside the bed. She held Huo Qingci's hands tightly and said softly, "Qingci, don't be afraid. I won't leave. I'll always be with you. I believe you'll get better soon."
"Well, Manman is around, don't be afraid."
