Xiao Shanjian was indeed frightened and had a fever that night. His little red face looked very pitiful.
Zhao Letong felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have let him take risks for the formation. He was the real child, and he didn't have her strong mental quality, and his soul was not stable enough. It was a mistake.
I can only try my best to make amends. There is no use regretting after something happens. The most important thing is to help him stay healthy.
Chen Xinyue comforted everyone, "It's not a big deal. Children are bound to have fever and colds. Just take some medicine for two days and it will be fine.
Some people can get through it without medication, so don't worry, I'll take care of them. They'll be fine once their fever goes away tomorrow."
"That's good. Don't stand here anymore. Go home and see what happens tomorrow. If it doesn't work, call in the imperial physician."
Xiao Shanjian, who was delirious with fever, said subconsciously: "Don't call the imperial physician."
"Okay, no need to ask, Sister Chen can cure you, just drink the medicine obediently."
"Yeah, I'll take the medicine."
No one wanted to drink the bitter medicine soup, but with the candied fruits and brown sugar milk cake, Xiao Shanjian was not so resistant to taking the medicine.
[This body is not good enough. The descendants of the dragon and the phoenix also need to have a good body. I have suffered so many disasters myself, how can I survive without a good body?]
I'll get up early tomorrow to practice martial arts with my nephews and get my body in shape.
[It's a shame that the royal family can't practice cultivation techniques. I do have a basic cultivation method suitable for mortals. It's stronger than advanced internal skills, and it's faster to practice, safer, and easier to learn.]
[There is always a loss, and if you enjoy the dignity that ordinary people don't have, you will cut off your path to cultivation.]
Xiao Shanjian was dazed, his mind filled with Zhao Letong's thoughts, and he felt a little irritated: "Stop arguing, I'm so sleepy."
Zhao Letong was the only one left in the room. She insisted on taking care of Xiao Shanjian so that she would feel less guilty.
Hearing him say this now, my heart skipped a beat. [This is terrible. Could he be...?]
Not daring to think further, Zhao Letong ran out and asked Feicui Shanhu to watch over her for a while while she took a break.
Her family members can hear her thoughts because of their blood relationship. Now that Xiao Shanjian was struck by lightning, could he also hear it?
You have to be careful next time and don’t let your imagination run wild, or something bad will happen.
Why is this happening? Zhao Letong had never encountered this before in his previous life. It was only when he actively released his spiritual vibrations that the other party could hear them.
But they were also fellow cultivators, communicating with each other through their spiritual consciousness, similar to the art of telepathy. Now others could hear her thoughts, but she couldn't hear others, which made her feel at a disadvantage.
In the yard, the gardener was busy removing the blackened trees and replacing them with new ones. It was a pity to lose this lush peach tree.
The trunks were thrown into the kitchen for burning, leaving only the main trunk. The servants carefully planed the tree and hit the trunk. Suddenly, the trunk broke open, revealing a black wooden strip inside. A flash of lightning passed by, like an illusion.
Zhao Letong was short of breath. What kind of luck was this?
It turned out to be lightning-struck wood!
The lightning-struck wood, which is rarely seen in a thousand years, has the attribute of thunder and lightning. It is the nemesis of evil spirits and is a supreme treasure that monks can only encounter.
The servants hurriedly transported the trees away, fearing that their master would see and punish them. They couldn't even take care of a single tree, which was a waste.
"Okay, you guys go down and rest first, and come back to work tomorrow. It's late at night and it's disturbing Xiaoshan's rest."
Zhao Letong suppressed his ecstasy and rewarded each of them with one or two taels of silver. The servants retreated happily. The young lady was really generous. She gave them such a heavy reward right away. If anyone said anything bad about the young lady in the future, they would be the first to disagree.
Zhao Letong sent the people away, glanced around with a shifty look, and made sure that no one was around. He collected the lightning-struck wood and hid it on the roof beam to use as a talisman to ward off evil spirits.
She can't use it for the time being. It's a crime to possess a treasure, so she can't let anyone know about this lightning-struck wood.
My father made other leftover peach wood pieces into beads. The remaining power of heavenly thunder can also be used as a talisman, which is immune to all evil. It is especially good for the elderly. When wearing the beads, even the Ox-Head and Horse-Face will give some face and wait a few days to take people away.
There are not many places on such a large peach wood trunk that can be made into beads. Some places have been split too hard and turned into dead wood, so only a few hundred beads can be made.
Zhao Letong thought it was too little, but he didn't know that if any one of the beads got lost, it would cause a lot of trouble.
After a night, Xiao Shanjian's fever finally subsided. The kitchen brought him golden and thick millet porridge with red dates and yam, which was most suitable for the patient to drink.
Xiao Shanjian drank a big bowl of refreshing side dishes, worked up a sweat, and felt much more energetic.
Zhao Letong watched him eat and almost fell asleep while sitting on the footstool.
"Tongtong, did you go mining last night? You look so tired and all black. I heard you mumbling in my dreams. What were you busy with?"
Zhao Letong thought he was dreaming and smiled happily: "Isn't it because I'm taking care of you and worrying about you that I can't sleep?
You got sick because you helped me, so I was definitely worried about you."
"Tongtong, I'm useless now. I made you worry."
The young boy was quite ashamed. He was so scared that he had a fever. He felt so useless and disgusted with his day.
"No, you've done very well. I'm afraid that young people will be afraid, and so will I. You should practice more in the future. I'm tired and will go back to sleep. You can also take a few days off and don't rush to study."
"Well, go ahead."
Xiao Shanjian also needed to go to the toilet, take a shower and change clothes, but the education he received since childhood made him embarrassed to let others see him.
The Zhao family was relieved, but they didn't know that there was a big uproar outside. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory was investigating the place where the lightning struck last night and found the Zhao family.
Zhao Biao was receiving Mr. Song, the Imperial Observatory's external investigator and the chief disciple of the Observatory Director, named Song Lian.
Song Lian had a kind smile and his squinted eyes made it impossible to tell his expression. He looked friendly, but no one dared to underestimate him.
"Master Zhao, was your inner house struck by lightning last night?"
Zhao Biao's mouth trembled. "I haven't done anything wrong. Who knows if I was plotted against? Destroying a peach tree is terrifying.
Mr. Song, you came at the right time. I was just about to report a case to you."
"What case?"
Zhao Biao had already thought about it. If there was any news from above, he would expose the fact that Chen Boyang sent people to harm Chen Xinyue.
The evil spirits have come into the house, the Imperial Observatory must be held responsible for this.
Song Lian listened with a smile and nodded in agreement, which made Zhao Biao's mouth dry, so he quickly drank some tea.
"I already know what General Zhao said. Eunuch Fang sent someone to look for me before, and I think it was because of this matter."
"Yes, that evil spirit was terrifying. It almost killed my entire family. Lord Chen really deserves to die. Lord Song, please investigate him quickly. Not only did he harm people, I'm afraid he's also involved in some evil ways."
"I'll investigate. Can I go see the area where the lightning struck?"
"Of course, but I cleaned it up overnight. No one said the Imperial Observatory was going to investigate. If I had known, I would have waited for you to come. Please come in."
The peach tree in my daughter's yard is my wife's favorite. The peaches it produces are large, juicy, and sweet. It's a rare and good variety. It's a pity to lose such a good tree."
