Chapter 370: Fainted
Reward? Yuan Shanchuan couldn't help but widen his eyes. Although Meng Yunzheng mentioned before leaving that taking the painting back should be considered a contribution and there might be a reward, Yuan Shanchuan never dared to think about such a thing. He only hoped for his family's safety. Nowadays, how could an ordinary commoner dare to ask for a reward from the county lord? Moreover, when he took the painting by chance, it wasn't for this purpose. Now, when Xiang Weinan suddenly asked him, Yuan Shanchuan frowned and couldn't react for a moment. Noticing his reaction, Xiang Weinan thought for a moment and said, "Or perhaps I can give you a sum of silver as a reward?" That was the most direct and practical form of reward, and most people would choose it. But Yuan Shanchuan instinctively shook his head. "No, there's no need." With that shake of his head, he suddenly felt even dizzier. When he lifted his head again, looking at Xiang Weinan seemed like seeing a double image. He tried to say something, but he couldn't speak anymore. Xiang Weinan didn't notice his condition yet and continued, "It's alright, you can take your time to consider. If you really can't decide, um... you can owe it for now." As he said that, he looked at Shu Yu, who he also owed a favor. However, Shu Yu narrowed her eyebrows and stared at Yuan Shanchuan. She had noticed since earlier that his complexion didn't seem right, and now even cold sweat was forming on his forehead. "Fourth Uncle, what's wrong with you?" "I..." Yuan Shanchuan couldn't hold on any longer and suddenly fell forward. Shu Yu's face changed slightly, and she quickly stepped forward to support him. "Fourth Uncle." Wang Hong also hurried forward and held him up. "What's happening?" "Go find a doctor quickly." Xiang Weinan called out to Hu Li. This person had just returned after accomplishing a great feat, so he couldn't have something happen in front of his eyes. Hu Li ran outside, and outside the door, Lu Sixing and Da Niu, who were already worried, turned around and hurried inside. Seeing that Yuan Shanchuan had fainted, Lu Sixing was filled with anxiety. "Shan Chuan, Shan Chuan, wake up. Don't scare me. We just reunited after so much hardship. Please don't have anything happen to you." Xiang Weinan called Da Niu and Wang Hong, "The two of you, carry him to the guest room at the back. The doctor will arrive soon." Yuan Shanchuan remained unconscious, shocking everyone present. They carried him to the backyard, and Xiang Weinan rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. Lu Sixing sat on the edge of the bed, tears falling from her eyes. "Aunt, don't worry. Fourth Uncle will be fine. He's probably just exhausted. You don't know, before we met him, he hadn't slept properly for three days. Once he rests after going back, he'll recover immediately." "Really?" Lu Sixing was at a loss for what to do and looked up at Shu Yu when she heard her words. Shu Yu nodded confidently. "Yes, it's true." She regretted not stopping the Yuan family from hitting him earlier. Even if the Yuan family wanted to vent their anger, they should have waited until he was in good health. Shu Yu also couldn't help but rub her forehead. Fortunately, Hu Li quickly brought the doctor. Lu Sixing quickly stepped aside and let the doctor examine him. The guest room was quiet. After a while, the doctor withdrew his hand and said, "It's not serious. The patient had previous injuries that haven't fully healed, and he also received a beating. Combined with his lack of sleep and proper food, his body couldn't hold on and he fainted. I'll prescribe some medicine to treat his internal injuries and provide a prescription for recovery. Once he wakes up, let him drink it for a couple of days, rest more, and he will gradually recover."
Total oversight for the Mc and Authorities, as well as the others that were there.
