For the next few days, Tang Chen went to see Wang Yanzhou almost every day, and no matter how they tried to persuade him, it was useless. In the end, Li Xinzhai had no choice but to force-feed Wang Yanzhou with medicine, bowl after bowl, to keep him in a deep sleep, so that he wouldn't suddenly go crazy and hurt anyone.
Since arriving at the herbal shrine, Wang Ruo has been the most patient person in the group. She's quiet, never making a fuss, and spends every day quietly reading in the courtyard, oblivious to the world outside. She never leaves the house, as if, given enough books, she could stay in one place forever.
Tian Wangruo was so engrossed in reading the night before that when she came to her senses, a faint streak of white had already appeared on the horizon.
Wang Ruo saw that the medicine room was very quiet. She thought everyone was still resting. She wanted to boil some water to wash her face and then go back to her room to lie down for a while. Just as she put the water on the fire, she heard a knock on the door: "Open, open the door..."
As soon as Wang Ruo opened the door, Jiang Wangjiu had indeed arrived within the agreed timeframe. The people of Bugui Peak always kept their promises, even though under normal circumstances, the time between the two locations wouldn't have been enough to travel back and forth in a few days. Wang Ruo squatted down, looking at the exhausted figure slumped on the ground before her. Covering her mouth, she couldn't help but jokingly say, "My goodness, where did this beggar come from? He's quite handsome."
After Jiang Wangjiu received her message, he didn't dare to stop for a moment and rushed all the way here. After finally arriving at the place, he just wanted to take a breath and didn't want to argue with her: "You, huh, hurry up and pour me a glass of water, I'm exhausted from this journey."
Wang Ruo stood up and poured him a cup of still-warm tea. Then she looked outside the room but saw no one else besides him. "Why are you here alone? Where's your Jiujiu?"
After Jiang Wangjiu replenished his water, he immediately regained his energy when he heard Baijiujiu's name: "Ah, I'm going to be a father, you know!"
Wang Ruo took a moment to react and was genuinely happy for him. Previously, Bai Jiujiu's child hadn't been saved, and the doctor had said she might never get pregnant again. The Jiang family was somewhat disappointed, but they treated her better and more lovingly than before. Upon hearing this news, everyone on Bugui Peak must have been overjoyed. It was incredible that he could still come to the appointment so punctually at this time. "Oh, congratulations!"
"Ah, life. By the way, where is the patient?" Jiang Wangjiu was naturally happy in his heart, so he just wanted to finish the things here quickly, and then whoosh back to his wife to accompany her well.
Wang Ruo looked at Jiang Wangjiu with some disdain as he took two steps back. She covered her mouth and nose and said, "Don't worry, clean yourself up first. There are pregnant women here too. Be careful not to fumigate them."
As soon as Tang Chen woke up, he heard Lian Xin say that Jiang Wangjiu had arrived and had started treating Wang Yanzhou. Without washing his face or combing his hair, he put on his clothes, shoes and socks, and rushed to Wang Yanzhou's room with the support of Lian Xin.
"How about it?"
When she arrived, Jiang Wangjiu had just finished examining Wang Yanzhou. As far as the current situation was concerned, it was not bad. "They are just lucky. If they had come out of the forest a few days later, even the Golden Immortal would have been hard to save."
"..." Tang Chen's eyebrows almost knitted together when he heard this. What Jiang Wangjiu couldn't stand the most right now was that a pregnant woman didn't take good care of herself. He didn't mean anything else, he just felt that carrying a life was already incredibly tiring and difficult for a woman, and if she didn't treat herself better, it would be too tragic.
"A pregnant woman should be aware of her status as a pregnant woman. Why are you so sad all the time? Really, I didn't say she couldn't be saved."
Hearing this, Tang Chen's expression changed 180 degrees in an instant, and he urged, "Then hurry up!"
Jiang Wangjiu said slowly, "Don't worry, we need to prepare some things first. Before we begin, there's one more thing I need to tell you."
Tang Chen's heart skipped a beat. Why did this sentence sound so familiar? It was like before surgery, doctors would list some of the possible risks and uncertainties. "...you tell me."
Jiang Wangjiu put away his playful smile and said seriously, "Their lives have been saved, but they may suffer from sequelae."
"What are the aftereffects?"
Jiang Wangjiu shook his head slightly and said, "I can't really say. If you're lucky, it won't have much impact on your daily life. If you're unlucky, you might become blind or deaf."
Everyone present couldn't help but gasp and looked at Wang Zhen who had come out of Zhiyoulin unharmed.
Speaking of this, Jiang Wangjiu was also very curious about how the two sisters Wang Zhen and Wang Ruo had managed to do it. They had lived in the forest for a long time without any problems.
The miasma in Zhiyou Forest was insignificant in the short term compared to the lethality of the poisons in other forests. However, if one inhaled the miasma for an extended period, the various toxins would accumulate in the body, and until the moment of the outbreak came, no one could predict what the symptoms would be.
Jiang Wangjiu knew everyone's confusion and didn't want to keep them in suspense, so he explained directly, "The miasma in Zhiyou Forest is different from that in Bugui Peak. This one is a mixture of poisons unique to the forest, while the one in Bugui Peak is artificially blended by us. Compared to the former, the latter is more controllable."
Tang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, calmed his excitement, and said calmly: "It's a blessing to be alive. Let's go downstairs to prepare things. You rest for a while and detoxify them as soon as possible."
"It's natural."
While Jiang Wangjiu went to check on Hua Wuxin's preparations, Tang Chen took a hot towel and, as usual, gently washed Wang Yanzhou. But today, she whispered something in his ear she had never said before.
"As long as you get better, no matter if you're blind, deaf, or dumb, I'll stay with you forever. When that happens, I'll take you and the child with me, and we'll live in seclusion on any peak in Qingliang Valley. No matter how noisy the situation is down there, we won't care. Okay?"
The person on the bed was still sleeping peacefully, not responding to her. Tang Chen leaned over and gently rested her head on his chest, closing her eyes and quietly feeling his heartbeat. She even felt that as long as he was alive, even if the only response from him from now on was this heartbeat, it wouldn't matter. Her requirements were not high at all, she just wanted him to be alive.
Li Xinzhai was about to step in and ask Tang Chen to step aside first, but when he saw the two of them like this, he lost his courage for a moment and had to call Lian Xin over.
