Chapter 253 The Story of the Farmer and the Snake

"On a cold winter day, a farmer saw a frozen snake on the road. The farmer felt pity, picked up the snake, put it in his arms, and warmed it with his body temperature before continuing on his way."

Luo Li looked at the clear and bright eyes in front of her and continued to tell a fable every day: "The frozen snake was warmed up by the farmer's body temperature and suddenly bit the farmer.

Before the farmer who was poisoned by the snake passed out from the pain, he thought: I saved the snake, but it bit me instead. Why didn't it repay me with evil?"

"Okay, today's fable is over. What inspiration does this story of the farmer and the snake give you?"

Little Mengxue raised her hand first, "Teacher, the snake is a bad guy. The farmer is a good and kind person."

Luo Li nodded affirmatively, "Yeah! Not bad. Being able to distinguish right from wrong and understand human nature."

Mu Xiu raised his hand and said, "You can know a person's face but not his heart. You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others."

Luo Li smiled and nodded in affirmation.

Ni Shan'er raised her hand and said, "People's hearts are hidden in their belly. Judge a person by his actions. Only after a long journey can you know a horse's strength, and only after a long time can you see a person's heart."

Luo Li reached out and rubbed her head, encouraging her, "That's good. Shan'er will also take the initiative to speak."

Meng Qian raised his hand, "Teacher, sometimes, people's hearts are more poisonous than snakes. We must learn to protect ourselves."

"Yes! In life, people must have a conscience and do more good deeds, but they must love themselves and protect themselves." Luo Li affirmed.

Wu Ji raised his hand and said, "Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts. Why save it? Just step on it to death to prevent the poisonous snake from harming other people."

Luo Li laughed so hard that she covered her forehead with her hands, her shoulders shaking, "Wu Ji, you always think differently." What she didn't say was that the little guy was cruel, tough, and domineering!

Yu Li supported her chin with her hands, still just listening without saying anything. If she was asked whose idea she agreed with the most, her hand would still point to Zhao Wu Ji.

Luo Li knocked on the table with her pointer: "Okay, we have finished telling a fable every day, so let's study hard!"...

Mrs. Lin and Lin Xian'er each ate a small bowl of blood bird's nest porridge. When it comes to health and beauty, they have never been lazy or slack.

Lin Xian'er elegantly scooped a spoonful of blood bird's nest porridge with a small silver spoon, and put it into Cherry's mouth with her little finger. The sticky, smooth and sweet blood bird's nest porridge nourished the taste buds and slid into the throat.

"Oh!... It hurts so much." Lin Xian'er's face turned pale in pain, and the small silver spoon fell to the ground.

"

Groooo ...

"Mother, the pain today is worse than yesterday. The medicine prescribed by Doctor Lu is totally ineffective. I will go back to the capital tomorrow to see Doctor Liu from Huichuntang." Lin Xian'er said worriedly with tears in her eyes.

Mrs. Lin held her daughter's hand, tears kept falling, and her worry was heavier than her daughter: "Xian'er, let's go back to the capital tomorrow. Instead of looking for Doctor Liu from Huichuntang, let's look for Doctor Qin who is in Xuanyi Pavilion. What kind of strange disease do you have?"

"Oh!... Mother, it hurts again!..." Lin Xian'er held her mother's hand, the joints were protruding and white because of the force, and she bit her silver teeth tightly with tears in her eyes. After a while, she couldn't help crying out in pain.

Doctor Lu was a well-known doctor in the area. After being called up by the guards of the Qinwangfu Hot Spring Villa, he carried his medicine box and got on the Qinwangfu carriage, and drove to the Hot Spring Villa ten miles away.

Butler Cheng led Doctor Lu to the backyard in a hurry, while walking, he introduced the reason why he was called in overnight: "Doctor Lu, Miss Lin took the medicine you prescribed yesterday, and her abdominal pain was cured. Today, she suddenly got sick again, so I had to ask someone to invite you in overnight."

Doctor Lu walked quickly, "No problem! It's common for doctors to see patients at night."

"Ah!... It hurts so much! Ah..." "

Mrs. Lin, Doctor Lu is here." Butler Cheng announced, and then led Doctor Lu into the house.

Two maids held down Lin Xian'er, who was struggling and crying in pain. Mrs. Lin cried and cried, "Doctor Lu, Xian'er took the medicine you prescribed, but not only did she not get better, but the pain got worse!" Mrs. Lin's words were filled with complaints and blame. Doctor

Lu ignored Mrs. Lin's offensive words, came to the bed, looked at Lin Xian'er, who was sweating all over her body and face and her hair was wet, and reached out to feel her pulse. Seeing that

Doctor Lu's face was getting more and more solemn, Lin Xian'er was so nervous and afraid that she dared not cry or shout, and gritted her teeth to endure the severe pain in her abdomen.

Doctor Lu withdrew his hand and turned to look at housekeeper Cheng. "Uncle Cheng, Madam Lin, I suspected yesterday that Miss Lin's abdominal pain was caused by intestinal obstruction. Today, it can be confirmed that it is intestinal obstruction, and it is acute intestinal obstruction, the most severe kind. You must be mentally prepared."

"Intestinal obstruction?!" Madam Lin screamed in surprise and then burst into tears: "People with intestinal obstruction will die. My poor daughter! How can a young girl... "

I'm going to die? ... Lin Xian'er was so scared that her eyes rolled up and she fainted.

Steward Cheng asked with a heavy heart: "Doctor Lu, is there really no way to cure it?"

Doctor Lu shook his head and said: "People with acute intestinal ascites have no cure. I have been practicing medicine for many years, but I have never heard of anyone who has survived after being cured."

Mrs. Lin knelt down in front of Doctor Lu with a plop and said: "Doctor Lu! Please save her! I only have this one daughter!"

Doctor Lu avoided Mrs. Lin's gift, shook his head silently and said: "I am really powerless. I can only give acupuncture to reduce the pain for the patient. Acute intestinal ascites cannot be cured even if Doctor Qin comes."

Looking at Mrs. Lin who was crying like a tearful child, Steward Cheng sighed and said to Doctor Lu: "Doctor Lu, please stay in the villa tonight. I will take you downstairs to rest for a while."

"That's right. I will stay at the manor tonight." Doctor Lu agreed readily.

After Butler Cheng took Doctor Lu to the guest room and settled him down, he thought that the master, the Princess of Qin, was at the manor, so he should report to the Princess.

Lin Xian'er, who had fainted from shock, woke up slowly from the pain. When she heard her mother's heart-wrenching cries, she immediately remembered what happened before she fainted. She...actually had acute intestinal ascites, an incurable disease.

"No!...I don't want to die! Save me...Hurry up and find a way to save me!..." Lin Xian'er grabbed the hand of her maid Xiangcao, shaking and crying in fear.

Xiangcao's nose was also sore and tears fell. Although Madam Lin and Lin Xian'er were evil, such a young girl actually had an incurable disease. If she died like this, it would be really pitiful.

Xiangcao cried and comforted: "Miss, don't be afraid, Madam will find a way to save you."

Madam Lin cried out, "How can I save Xian'er! My poor daughter!..."

Princess Qin! ...Yes! Princess Qin was able to cure all of Zhao Wuji's congenital diseases, so she can definitely cure my intestinal diseases.

Lin Xian'er suddenly had an idea, and with a desire to survive, she pushed Xiangcao away and shouted to her mother anxiously: "Mom! Go and ask Princess Qin to come and save my life, quickly!... Go and ask her to come and heal me!..."
