Chapter 154: The Ultimate Chatterbox
Wen Wan was startled and quickly stood up to help him.
I saw that Agui's face began to develop rashes, his lips turned cyanotic, and his breathing became more and more rapid.
Can’t be that unlucky, allergic to seafood?
Wen Wan was extremely anxious. If it was really an allergy, it could be fatal if not treated in time.
The innkeepers and the surrounding guests gathered together, and someone immediately suggested calling a doctor.
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "The nearest clinic is two streets away. Going back and forth will probably take a long time. Why not ask one of the shop assistants to help carry the patient to the clinic?"
Wen Wan was about to nod when a head suddenly squeezed in from the crowd.
It was Zhou Lingling who had previously claimed to be the most talented person in Guyun Town.
He stretched out his right hand, holding a small porcelain bottle.
"I have medicine! I have medicine! This guy can't even breathe. It might be too late to send him to the clinic. Hurry up and take this pill."
Wen Wan looked down and saw that Agui's breath was already weak, with more exhalation than inhalation.
She took the small porcelain bottle and stuffed the pills inside into Agui's mouth.
Zhou Lingling then squeezed in. He was not tall and thin, and had been squeezed outside the crowd with only his head barely visible.
"Don't worry, girl. I'm just like this guy. I get sick whenever I eat something irritating. Every time I take this medicine, I get better in no time."
Zhou Lingling squatted in front of Wen Wan, muttering with a smile, "This medicine was made specially for me by my father. Although it tastes like dog shit, the effect is really amazing."
"Thank you." Wen Wan pursed her lips, her expression still nervous.
Just as Zhou Lingling said, after a moment, Agui woke up.
Wen Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Lingling looked very proud, "See, I told him he would be perfect."
"Well, sir, your medicine is really effective." Wen Wan echoed and praised.
The young man's face couldn't hide anything, and when he was recognized, his smile became even brighter.
He waved his hand, "It's a small matter. Let me help Big Brother back to his room."
Agui's legs were weak and Wenwan had little strength, so they did not refuse Zhou Lingling's kindness.
Zhou Lingling called his attendants, and one of them helped Agui back to the room.
Wen Wan poured hot tea for the two of them and thanked them again, "I am really grateful to have met you today, otherwise my brother's life would be in danger."
"It's nothing." Zhou Lingling was not one to fuss over trivial matters. She took the hot tea and drank it. "It's fate that we met. Besides, I think you're a straightforward person. Don't call me Master. Just call me Lingling."
"Lingling?" Wen Wan twitched the corner of her mouth. Why does this name sound like a girl's?
Zhou Lingling pouted in dissatisfaction. "It's not 'Ling' for girls, it's 'Ling' for actors! Oh, it's all my dad's fault for giving me this name. People who meet me for the first time always mistake it for a girl's name."
It can be seen that Zhou Lingling is a chatterbox. He can say a whole lot for every sentence Wenwan says.
People who talk a lot don’t have bad tempers.
Wen Wan also felt that Zhou Lingling had a similar temperament to hers. "Okay, then I'll call you Lingling. My name is Wen Wan, and this is my brother Agui."
When they were out, for convenience, she and Agui treated each other as brother and sister.
Wen Wan was concerned about Agui's condition, so she asked, "Lingling, when we came into the inn earlier, you seemed to say you were from the Zhou Family Clinic? Could you help my brother? If he still needs medicine, please write a prescription and I'll go to the pharmacy to get it."
"Uh..." Zhou Lingling looked embarrassed. "Although my family runs a clinic, I don't know how to see patients."
Wen Wan looked puzzled.
Zhou Lingling explained, "It's my dad. He said I wasn't suited to be a doctor and never taught me any medical skills. He just forced me to study. Year after year, day after day, it's driven me crazy. Now my head is full of nonsense, and life is boring and uninteresting. This time I sneaked out, and I must have a lot of fun! I must make some good friends who I can talk to..."
"Run away?" Wen Wan interrupted him, keenly capturing the key information.
Zhou Lingling was stunned for a moment, a bewildered look on her face. She pointed at her nose in disbelief, "Did I just say 'sneak away'?"
Wen Wan and her attendant nodded at the same time.
"Yes."
"..." Zhou Lingling smiled awkwardly, "Forget it, I've said it. A real man should take responsibility for his actions. It's only June now, and my father has already sent a horse-drawn carriage to bring me all the books I need to read in July, August, and September. He also deducted some of my monthly salary. You don't know, I'm so hungry that I can't even afford to eat..."
"stop!"
Wen Wan had seen people who talked a lot, but she had never seen anyone who talked to this extent.
It can be seen that this child has been suppressed for a long time, so he just lets it out whenever he gets the chance to listen.
During this period of time, Wen Wan's head was buzzing because of his noise.
"Lingling, you saved my brother, so we'll be friends from now on. I'll cover all your expenses for the next few days in Haicheng! Just come with me and have some good food, drinks, and fun!"
Zhou Lingling's eyes lit up, like a little deer with its ears pricked up.
"real?"
"Of course. If you follow my sister, you will definitely have meat to eat." Wen Wan said with a smile.
Zhou Lingling had a look of satisfaction on her face, and was about to start expressing her feelings again.
Wen Wan coughed twice quickly, "Um...my brother is still sick, how about we meet tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Zhou Lingling nodded reluctantly, and was then pulled out of the room by her attendant.
Wen Wan was worried about Agui, so she gave him some money and asked the waiter to go to the clinic and ask a doctor to come and check on Agui again.
The doctor prescribed a prescription for follow-up care. Wen Wan prepared the medicine, boiled the medicine, and fed the patient the medicine. After all the hard work, she finally had time to go back to her room and sleep late at night.

"Sister Xiaowan!"
As soon as the sun rose, Zhou Lingling came knocking on the door, and her way of addressing Wen Wan had evolved from "Miss Xiaowan" to "Sister Xiaowan".
Sure enough, the one who paid the bill was either the grandfather or the sister.
Wen Wan opened the door with dark circles under her eyes and met Zhou Ling's eyes shining with excitement.
"Sister Xiaowan! You said, let's go out and play!"
When a child who has been locked up at home for a long time sees a divine beast released from its cage, he suddenly feels as if the world is about to be destroyed.
Wen Wan saw how excited he was and the corners of her mouth twitched.
For a moment, she felt that the boy in front of her had turned into a husky, and would start to destroy the house crazily when she was not paying attention.
Thinking of that scene, she shuddered violently.
"Uh... do we have to start playing today? My brother..."
Before she could finish her words, Zhou Ling interrupted her.
"Brother Gui has my attendant to take care of him, so Sister Xiaowan, you can go out and play with me without worry! I just went to see him, and Brother Gui is much better, just a little weak. He also said that he can go out and play with me tomorrow. Today is the Qiuhua Festival, there must be a lot of fun things to do. I wonder if there is anything delicious, but I also want to eat the grilled oysters on East Street, the candied fruits on West Street, and..."
Wen Wan closed the door in his face without hesitation.
A faint voice came from inside the door.
"Stop talking! By the time you finish, it will be dark! Wait for me to change my clothes, and then we can go watch the fun first!"
