Chapter 35 If You Don’t Wake Up, Prepare for the Afterlife



Chapter 35 If You Don’t Wake Up, Prepare for the Afterlife

By the time Bo Ge'er and his companions returned, the person who had been found, Ju Ge'er, had already been reported by enthusiastic villagers to the Yu family who were searching for him, and most of the family members had already returned.

When Su Rouer heard that Ju Ge'er had been found, she was so excited that she struggled to get off the kang, stumbled to the main room, sat on the edge of the kang and refused to move, clutching the unconscious Ju Ge'er's hand and crying loudly.

It just so happened that Da Xi Si Po was nearby, so Old Man Yu invited Da Xi Si Po back directly.

Da Xisipo had gray hair and was thin and short, but she was in very good spirits and her eyes were full of brilliance.

She wore a strange ornament on her head, which was said to be passed down from generation to generation by Si Po.

When Bo Ge'er and the others hurried back, Da Xisi Po had just finished taking Ju Ge'er's pulse.

"Did you find it at the bottom of the hill? I guess the kid hit his head when he rolled down, and there's blood clots in his head. If no one saves him, he won't wake up." Da Xi Si Po touched Ju Ge'er's body again, "There's nothing wrong with other parts of his body, just some minor scratches... Fortunately, you found him in time. The kid was frozen in the mountain overnight. If you had found him later, hehe."

Da Xi Si Po laughed twice in a somewhat eerie voice.

Su Rouer covered her mouth and couldn't help but let her tears roll down.

Mrs. Wei's face turned pale: "Sister Da Xi, my brother Ju'er's injury, is it easy to cure?"

It is said that Da Xi Si Po has a bad temper, but she is quite friendly to Wei Po Zi. She glanced at Wei Po Zi and said, "Don't worry, he won't die. You are lucky that you found him not too late. I happened to be nearby. I will prescribe some medicine for him. He should wake up after drinking it for a few days... Otherwise, if he is delayed for a few more hours, it will be hard to say."

When Mrs. Wei heard this, her heart relaxed and her legs went weak. If Li Chunhua hadn't hurriedly helped her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wei would have fallen.

She clasped her hands together and kept saying, "May the gods bless me, may the gods bless me."

Mrs. Wei remembered something and tears welled up in her eyes: "...Speaking of which, they are all my good grandchildren. They have been looking for it in the mountains for most of the day..."

Huai Ge'er said quickly, "Grandma, it was Sister Xing Xing who found the grasshopper that Ju Ge'er dropped in the bushes, and that's how we guessed that Ju Ge'er should be nearby."

"Xingxing?" Mrs. Wei cried and laughed, "I knew that our Xingxing is the most blessed. She is the little lucky star bestowed by God to our Yu family..."

Xing Xing awkwardly took out a handkerchief to wipe Grandma Wei's tears: "Grandma..."

Da Xisi Po's eyes fell on Xing Xing. Suddenly, her eyes focused slightly on the Buddhist beads on Xing Xing's wrist. She said "Huh" and her expression changed. No one knew what she was thinking.

However, Daxisipo said nothing in the end. She just scooped out some medicinal powder from the bottles and jars she carried with her, mixed it into some powdery stuff, and finally ground it with a medicine bowl before putting it into a jar.

"Take two coins each time and boil water. Do this once a day." Daxi Sipo instructed, "When the powder in the jar is gone, the baby will wake up."

The whole family nodded repeatedly.

Su Rouer asked in a tearful voice, "What if he doesn't wake up?"

Da Xi Si Po didn't even look at her, and snorted, "If he doesn't wake up, then prepare for his death."

Su Rouer's face immediately turned pale!

Mrs. Wei's face turned pale as well, and she called out in a trembling voice, "Sister Da Xi!"

Da Xi Si Po said impatiently: "Alright, I just can't bear to see her crying and doing nothing! ... Don't worry, I think this medicine powder will last forever and the baby will wake up. If she still can't wake up, just go to the village and find me."

Su Rouer no longer dared to cry out loud, and her eyes were filled with tears.

Mrs. Wei heaved a sigh of relief again: "Sister Da Xi, you scared me to death... You must have worked hard to come here, how much is the consultation fee?"

Grandma Da Xi chuckled and said, "Although we have some friendship, my medicine is good stuff, and the consultation fee cannot be less. Besides, medicine is a life-saving thing, if you pay less, it will damage the blessing of your baby!"

Mrs. Wei nodded repeatedly: "That's what I should do, that's what I should do."

Daxisi Po held up a finger and said, "One tael of silver."

Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng almost cried out.

How many?!

One ounce of silver? !

Mrs. Wei said without hesitation: "Okay, wait a minute, I'll go get the money."

Soon, Mrs. Wei took out a small package that was tightly wrapped from the box in the inner room.

Mrs. Wei opened the boxes layer by layer, and found only a piece of broken silver and some copper plates inside.

Mrs. Wei gave the silver coins to Mrs. Daxi. Mrs. Daxi took it, took a bite, and nodded: "It's almost one ounce. Okay, I'm leaving now."

Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng watched with dismay as Da Xi Si Po took the small change and left the house.

Su Rouer was stunned.

There were clearly only a few copper plates left in my mother-in-law's package.

This is the case. My mother-in-law paid for the medicine without any hesitation...

Su Rouer couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.

Ju Ge'er has been found. Even though he hasn't woken up yet, judging from Da Xisi Po's tone, he is bound to wake up.

Everyone left the main house, leaving only Su Rouer with Ju Ge'er.

Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng didn't think it was a big deal to spend money on treatment when Ju Ge'er was in critical condition. But now that they had left the main house, they thought of Da Xi Sipo's implicit assurance that Ju Ge'er would be fine. They felt relieved, but when they thought about the medical expenses, the two sisters-in-law felt a little uncomfortable.

If Su Rou'er hadn't been so stubborn and insisted on not coming back from her parents' home, would this have happened to Ju Ge'er?

If this hadn't happened to Ju Ge'er, they wouldn't have lost such a sum of money in vain!

That's one or two taels of silver!

The two sisters-in-law were very upset.

Especially Bai Xiaofeng lowered her voice and said to Li Chunhua: "Sister-in-law, I am not saying this, seeing that our uncle and Huai are both ready to criticize them. This one or two taels of silver can do a lot of things... Well, I am not saying that I am reluctant to spend money on Ju'er's medical treatment, but I am just thinking that if our third brother's wife hadn't acted like a demon, wouldn't we have saved this money?"

Bai Xiaofeng's words really touched Li Chunhua's heart.

Li Chunhua felt even worse, and finally could only muffle and say: "Forget it, it has already happened, we can't not save Ju Ge'er."

That's the truth.

The two sisters-in-law looked at each other and sighed.

In the evening, Yu Sanbao, with a weather-beaten face, also came back.

He spent most of the day asking someone in the county to use their connections to investigate, but all he found was that yesterday, a child fitting his description had run away from the county on his own.

This almost drove Yu Sanbao crazy.

Fortunately, some villagers came to the county to inform him that the child had been found, so he hurried back in a hurry.

Ju Ge'er hadn't woken up yet. Yu Sanbao sat on the edge of the kang, staring at his unconscious son, and didn't say anything for a long time.
