Chief Xu nodded, got out of bed, put on his clothes, and walked into his room.
Although he knew that Grandma Xu would not respond to him because she had become a vegetable, Village Chief Xu still called out a few times from outside the door.
"Mom... I'm here to see you. How are you feeling now? Are you hungry?"
“…”
There was no sound in the room. Captain Xu walked to the edge of his bed in the dim light.
Looking at Granny Xu lying on the bed, Village Chief Xu spoke again, "Mom, Qiao'er's gone to make rice porridge. I know you can't eat anything right now, but if you don't eat, you have no strength. How can you survive without strength? So when the rice porridge is ready, you have to eat at least a little, okay? I'll feed you myself then."
“…”
What answered Chief Xu was the quiet atmosphere in the room.
Village Chief Xu felt extremely sad. He didn't understand why Grandma Xu became like this, because when he went out yesterday, Grandma Xu was still fine. Thinking about it, he felt that he was really unfilial. If he had taken good care of Grandma Xu, Grandma Xu would not have become like this.
The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt. Village Chief Xu put his hand on Grandma Xu's face in repentance. When the skin on his fingertips touched Grandma Xu's face, which was as cold as ice.
Village Chief Xu hurriedly stood up from his chair, not being able to believe his feelings. He moved his index finger to Grandma Xu's nose.
Not feeling any breath, Village Chief Xu shouted in panic: "Qiao'er... hurry, come quickly, Qiao'er, my mother... she seems to be dying."
“…”
From a distance, Feng Qiaoer heard the call of Chief Xu. She slowly wiped her wet hands with her apron, with a curved arc at the corner of her mouth, and slowly walked out of the kitchen.
When she reached the main hall, Feng Qiaoer quickened her pace. The smile on her face disappeared, and she ran to Chief Xu's room with a sad expression.
"Sir, mother...what happened to her?"
Village Chief Xu turned around and saw Feng Qiaoer coming. It was as if he had seen a savior. He quickly rushed to Feng Qiaoer and cried, "Qiaoer...Qiaoer, my mother seems to be dead, but she was fine just yesterday. How could she die suddenly? Qiaoer...what do you think I should do? Wuuuuu...I didn't take good care of my mother. I deserve to die!"
Feng Qiao'er rested Chief Xu's head on her shoulder and said calmly, "Sir, you're right. Mother was fine yesterday, but after Miss Shu gave her an acupuncture treatment, she became like this. Miss Shu is just a village girl. How could she possibly know anything about medicine? I think she's deliberately trying to fool the villagers, and this is my fault too. If I had insisted on finding a doctor yesterday, maybe Mother wouldn't have died in such an unclear way."
Hearing this, Village Chief Xu suddenly pushed Feng Qiao'er away. He said unwillingly, "Impossible! Jiaying won't hurt my mother. Besides, her medical skills..."
"How are her medical skills? Has she ever saved many lives? And how many people would recognize her as a doctor? My Lord... I know you've always treated that girl like family, but since you treat her like this, does she truly treat you as one of her own, as you do?"
