Chapter 210: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 210: Inviting Guests to the Warm Room, Buying Cattle and Horses (3)
Mo Yan knew she couldn't have any soft spots for this fellow. Otherwise, once it stuck to her, she wouldn't be able to shake it off. So, regardless of its actions, she left straight away.
The red python stared resentfully at Mo Yan's retreating figure, feeling hopeless...
When she returned to Xin'er's room, she saw that Xin'er still hadn't woken up, but Zhen'er had fallen asleep leaning against the bed. Mo Yan smiled, took off Zhen'er's shoes, and gently carried him to the other end of the bed so he could sleep comfortably.
Sitting by the bed for a while, watching her siblings sleeping soundly, Mo Yan also felt a bit tired. She lay down on the edge of the bed.
"Mm... Mm... uncomfortable... Sister, Xin'er is uncomfortable... so uncomfortable..."
Mo Yan heard Xin'er's low sobbing voice in a daze. She suddenly woke up and quickly looked towards Xin'er, only to see Xin'er frowning tightly, her face flushed, and she kept muttering in her sleep.
"Xin'er, wake up quickly, don't scare sister, wake up!" Mo Yan anxiously called out to Xin'er, gently patting her face, trying to wake her up from the nightmare. However, when she touched her, she felt a burning sensation, indicating a high fever.
Mo Yan's heart skipped a beat. She knew it was not good. She regretted not taking Xin'er to the clinic earlier. If the fever continued like this, it could be very damaging.
After calling for a while without success, she managed to wake up Zhen'er, who was frightened to see Xin'er's lips peeling from the fever.
"Zhen'er, quickly go and call father." Mo Yan hurriedly dressed Xin'er while urging Zhen to get help, feeling full of self-blame.
"Okay."
Zhen'er responded and ran to find his father in a hurry.
Mo Qingze was still not fully awake. It took Zhen'er crying and calling for a long time before he finally woke up. As soon as he heard that his second daughter had a high fever, he quickly got up from the bed and rushed barefoot to Xin'er's courtyard.
Li Zhong lived in the row of houses near the main gate, some distance away from where the four members of the Mo family lived. He didn't know Xin'er was in trouble until Mo Qingze carried her out of the room.
There were no horse carriages or ox carts in Liuyang Village. Mo Yan only borrowed a handcart from Yang Bao's house. They laid a thick blanket on the handcart, placed Xin'er, who was still murmuring, on it, and Mo Qingze pushed the handcart towards the town.
It would take at least two hours to cover forty miles, but they were in a hurry, so Mo Qingze almost ran all the way. Mo Yan and Li Xiu followed behind, pushing the handcart with all their might, wishing they could go faster.
Seeing Xin'er's face had turned purple-red from the fever, Mo Yan was filled with regret. She regretted provoking the red python, which scared Xin'er, and she regretted being careless and not taking Xin'er to the doctor immediately. If anything happened to Xin'er, she would never forgive herself.
The three of them were extremely anxious. Despite their haste, they arrived in town in just an hour and a half. They found a nearby clinic.
"The child is in such a state. Why didn't you bring her here sooner?"
Seeing Xin'er's condition, the doctor was also startled, then blamed Mo Qingze.
"Doctor, please examine my daughter quickly."
Mo Qingze was worried about his daughter's condition, and he couldn't listen to anything else.
The doctor didn't dare to delay and quickly had Mo Qingze lay Xin'er on the bed in the inner room, sitting beside her to feel her pulse.
After a while, the doctor withdrew his hand, frowning, and said, "This child was under tremendous shock, causing a reversal of blood flow, leading to an acute condition. Fortunately, you brought her here in time. If you had been half an hour later, the child might have been burned to death. Now, I can only prescribe some strong medicine to reduce the fever."
