Chapter 197 - Chapter 197: Ah Tao, Get Better Quickly
Early in the evening, Zhao Lanhua brought the medicine into the house.
“Third Brother, is Ah Tao still not awake?”
“Not yet.” Shen Yao temporarily placed the medicine on the high table beside the bed and shook his head ?????? “Mother, where’s Second Brother? Is he
“Immortal also prescribed a medicine for your second brother. He’s already fallen asleep after drinking the medicine,” Zhao Lanhua said in a low voice. “Your second brother should be fine.”
“That’s good.” Shen Yao nodded slightly, but the worry in his eyes did not diminish at all.
“Ah Tao has always been lucky. She’ll be fine,” Zhao Lanhua said softly. “Don’t worry too much.”
“Mm,” Shen Yao replied gloomily and stopped talking.
Zhao Lanhua sighed and left.
“Ah Tao?” Shen Yao called out a few more times, but unfortunately, Ji Zhao was still unconscious.
Seeing that her face was getting redder and redder, Shen Yao’s mood became extremely anxious.
He thought for a moment and picked up the bowl of medicine. He took a small sip to test it and carefully brought it Ji Zhao’s burning lips.
After feeding the bowl of medicine mouthful by mouthful, Shen Yao felt exhausted.
More importantly, he felt waves of pain on his left knee.
Shen Yao gritted his teeth and sat up from the bed with difficulty.
Immortal Crane, whose dream had been disturbed, was furious.
However, when his gaze landed on Shen Yao’s bloody wound, his anger immediately dissipated.
“What’s going on Immortal Crane hurriedly pressed at a few acupuncture points near his knee and hurriedly treated his wound.
“Didn’t I already tell you that you can’t stand up? I think you don’t want to keep this leg, right?” Immortal Crane pointed at Shen Yao’s nose and scolded him!
Shen Yao, on the other hand, remained silent.
Earlier, he had watched Ah Tao collapse in front of him. He had no time to think, so he struggled out of bed and helped Ah Tao up.
“Stop scolding,” Shen Yao advised softly. “Why don’t you rest for a while? Drink some hot tea to moisten your throat before continuing to scold?”
“You...” Immortal Crane was furious, “If there is a next time, I will definitely sit back and do nothing. Hmph!”
“Thank you, Senior!” Shen Yao smiled gratefully.
Looking at the smile on his face, Immortal Crane felt even more displeased.
He grunted sourly, then went back into the house to sleep.
In the middle of the night.
Shen Yao stayed by Ji Zhao’s side and gently held her hand.
“Ah Tao, get well soon.”
Shen Yao’s fingers gently caressed her plump face, his deep voice filled with pleading.
The next day, Zhao Lanhua woke up before dawn.
She did not prepare the family’s breakfast. Instead, she carried a bamboo basket and walked out of the Shen family’s courtyard.
The sky was still dark, so there was no one else around the Earth Temple.
Zhao Lanhua piously knelt in front of the statue of the local god and seriously kowtowed three times. Finally, she offered incense and many pastries.
“Earth God, please bless that child Ah Tao to turn misfortune into fortune and be safe and sound!”
At the same time.
Shen Yao touched Ji Zhao’s forehead again. After confirming that her forehead was no longer hot, he heaved a sigh of relief.
This night was especially long for Ji Zhao.
In her dream, she seemed to have returned to the room she had rented for many years. She saw herself sleeping in front of the computer. Just as she was puzzled and wanted to approach, a dazzling light suddenly flashed, forcing her to retreat—
Cough cough—
“Ah Tao?” Shen Yao rushed forward when he heard her voice. “Are you awake?”
“Shen Yao?” Hearing the familiar voice, Ji Zhao subconsciously raised her arm and rubbed her abnormally painful head.
“Are you still feeling unwell?” Shen Yao asked anxiously. “Don’t move first. I’ll get the senior to take a look!”
“Alright, alright! There’s no need for you to invite me. I’m already here.” The Immortal Crane crossed the threshold and walked in.
Without any explanation, he picked up Ji Zhao’s right wrist and took her pulse seriously.
“Your fever has subsided, and your pulse has stabilized. However, you still have to drink the medicine for another day,” Immortal Crane said indifferently.
However, even he did not notice the relief in his emotions.
“Thank you, Senior.” Ji Zhao forced a smile and smiled gratefully. However, her expression was still a little ugly. “But Senior, I feel that my head hurts.”
“Don’t move.” Immortal Crane grabbed her wrist forcefully and examined her head carefully. In the end, he did not find any wounds on it.
He thought for a moment and took out silver needles from his pocket. He inserted it into the acupuncture points in her temple and behind her head.
Gradually, Ji Zhao felt much more relaxed. Her head was no longer so heavy.
“Don’t think too much, and don’t tire yourself out.” Immortal Crane warned seriously, “If you don’t want to get a headache, close your eyes and continue to reset.
“Okay.”
Ji Zhao obediently did as she was told and immediately closed her eyes.
A moment later, Immortal Crane carefully pulled out the silver needle that was inserted into her head.
“Is Ah Tao asleep?” Shen Yao quickly lowered his voice and asked carefully.
“Mm.” Immortal Crane nodded slowly. “She caught a cold, causing a low fever. She needs to rest more now.”
Shen Yao immediately nodded and swore in his heart that he would take good care of Ji Zhao.
In the central room.
Eldest Brother Shen lowered his head and made a deep self-reflection.
“If Father and Ah Tao hadn’t insisted, I’m afraid Second Brother would have...” The more Eldest Brother Shen thought about it, the more guilty he felt. “It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me...”
“Alright, don’t think too much.” Shen Dashan patted his shoulder and comforted him gently, “Fortunately, Second Brother was safe this time.”
“But Third Sister-in-law is still sick!” The more Eldest Brother Shen thought about it, the more guilty he felt. “Father, when Third Sister-in-law recovers, I have to apologize to her.”
“What’s the use of apologizing?” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen pursed her lips angrily. Then, she took out some silver from her sleeve and handed it to the silent Zhao Lanhua. “It’S all thanks to Ah Tao that the shops business is thriving. Mother, these are some money that I saved up. Can you help me buy some good things to nourish Ah Tao’s body?”
“I originally wanted to go by myself, but now that I’m pregnant, it’S not convenient for me to go out. I can only trouble you, Mother.” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen expressed her attitude sincerely. “Mother, actually, Eldest
Brother doesn’t feel good either. Last night, he didn’t sleep the entire night..”
