Lin Qing couldn't help but laugh when she saw Gu Nianqing's sullen face. She gently patted Gu Nanxun's back, signaling him to let go of her, and then walked to Gu Nianqing's side and ruffled his hair.
"Nianqing, don't take it to heart with your father, that's just how he is."
Lin Qing said with a smile, then said seriously, "But to be honest, we really need your help this time. We suspect that the Red Army's wife may have accidentally ingested something special, but we have no clue what it is."
Hearing this, Gu Nianqing stopped joking and nodded seriously: "Mom, don't worry, I will do my best. However, let's go check on the patient's condition first, and then make a plan."
"Okay, let's set off then." Lin Qing said, preparing to leave.
Seeing this, Gu Nanxun patted Lin Qing's head and said with a smile, "No rush, it won't make a difference if we eat first, then we'll go!"
After Gu Nanxun finished speaking, he brought out the breakfast he had just prepared.
The family of three sat at the dining table and quickly finished their breakfast.
"Nianqing, wait here for a while. I'll come in to get you when we get there!"
Lin Qing smiled and patted Gu Nianqing on the shoulder, then left the space with Gu Nanxun.
"Mom, Nanxun and I have to go out, so we won't have breakfast. We'll eat out."
Lin Qing greeted Dong Xiulan and then drove away with Gu Nanxun.
Actually, Lin Qing's home wasn't too far from Hong Jun's home. The reason she drove was to make it easier to pick up Gu Nianqing from the space.
They soon arrived at the Red Army's house. Lin Qing went into the space again and then brought Gu Nianqing out of the space.
"We've arrived, let's get off!"
Lin Qing said with a smile.
The three of them got out of the car, and Lin Qing knocked on the door of the Red Army's house.
"Comrade Lin, is that you? Did you discover my wife's illness?"
As soon as the middle-aged man, Hongjun, opened the door, he saw Lin Qing and her family of three. His face lit up with joy, and he asked Lin Qing with anticipation.
"Not yet, I'll bring my son over to see!"
Lin Qing said with a smile.
The middle-aged man looked surprised upon hearing this, but he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he warmly welcomed the three of them in.
"Take us to see your wife first!"
Seeing the middle-aged man lead them to the living room, Lin Qing spoke directly.
Lin Qing's words struck a chord with the middle-aged man. Without hesitation, he turned a corner and led everyone to his wife's bedroom.
As soon as Lin Qing entered the bedroom, she couldn't help but shiver. The last time she came, the temperature in the room was relatively normal, but this time, the temperature in the room was colder than an ice cellar.
The group walked to the bedside. Xiao Lan, the Red Army's wife, was still covered with a quilt, but her face, which was exposed, was covered with frost.
Lin Qing couldn't help but place her hand under Xiao Lan's nose. Her faint breathing was almost imperceptible. If Lin Qing hadn't been so perceptive, she probably wouldn't have noticed it so quickly.
“I come in to check on her every day. Although her breathing is very weak, my wife is indeed still alive.”
The middle-aged Red Army soldier, seeing Lin Qing's actions, explained.
Lin Qing nodded upon hearing this, then turned her gaze to Gu Nianqing.
"Nianqing, take a look!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nianqing stepped forward, carefully observed the patient's symptoms, and then lifted the blanket to expose the patient's arm.
"Be careful, you'll get frostbite!"
Although the middle-aged man didn't know why Comrade Lin had asked a child to examine his wife, he immediately stepped forward and spoke when he saw the boy preparing to take his wife's pulse.
Gu Nianqing smiled upon hearing this, "Don't worry, it's alright."
After he finished speaking, he placed his hand on Xiaolan's arm and then channeled the spiritual energy within his body to probe Xiaolan's body.
What did she eat that day?
After a long while, Gu Nianqing withdrew her hand and then asked the middle-aged Red Army man.
“I don’t know. She started feeling cold after coming back from outside that day. She didn’t say what she ate. Could my wife have accidentally eaten something?”
Upon hearing Gu Nianqing's question, the middle-aged man, Hongjun, immediately replied.
After seeing Gu Nianqing take his wife's pulse just now, the middle-aged man no longer dared to underestimate him.
His wife was terribly cold all over; he had accidentally bumped into her and gotten hurt.
The middle-aged man was impressed that the boy had taken his wife's pulse for so long and found that she was perfectly fine.
Upon hearing this, Gu Nianqing lowered his head and thought for a moment. He then examined the woman's face again and took her pulse for a while.
Then he turned to Lin Qing and said, "Mom, it's exactly as you guessed. She did accidentally eat something."
Gu Nianqing didn't explain in great detail, but Lin Qing understood.
"I don't know what she ate. What should I do?"
The middle-aged Red Army soldier said anxiously.
Gu Nianqing explained, "There is a special energy at work in her body, and the reason she is like this can also be said to be that she has been poisoned."
"Poisoned? What should I do? Young man, can you save me?"
The middle-aged man's face showed a hint of surprise, followed by a look of delight. He looked at Gu Nianqing expectantly and said...
"Yes! Nianqing, can you save her?"
Lin Qing asked anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Gu Nianqing gave Lin Qing a playful smile. "Mom, I heard that the price they offered was only for a two-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house). But if I want to save it, Mom might have to lose money. Are you sure you still want to save it?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing smiled and patted Gu Nianqing's head, "You silly child, this is a human life, we should save it if we can!"
Upon hearing Lin Qing and Gu Nianqing's conversation, the middle-aged man who had been anxiously waiting nearby immediately stepped forward.
“Young man, as long as you can save my wife, I’m willing to pay any price. If the two-courtyard house isn’t enough, I’ll give you the three-courtyard one I’m living in now. If that’s still not enough, just tell me and I’ll find a way to make it happen.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Nianqing glanced at the middle-aged man and said, "The medicinal herbs needed to make the antidote are extremely precious. Even ten courtyard houses wouldn't be enough. Fine, since my mother needs to be saved, I'll use these two courtyard houses of yours as payment!"
"Alright, alright... Thank you, young man. As long as you can save my wife, these two courtyard houses are yours."
Upon hearing Gu Nianqing's words, the middle-aged man couldn't help but burst into tears.
"You're willing to part with it? You probably only have these two properties! If you give them to us, you'll have nothing left. If I'm not mistaken, your wife is infertile. If she leaves, you can easily remarry."
