Chapter 211: Inviting Guests to the Warm Room, Buying Cattle and Horses (4)
"Will there be any side effects from the strong medicine?" Mo Yan felt relieved at first, but then worried. Seeing the doctor looking at her with uncertainty, she quickly changed her explanation, "My sister is still young. I'm afraid the medicine is too strong for her and might harm her body. Will it be harmful to her?"
The doctor nodded approvingly, "All medicines have some side effects, but don't worry too much. After the illness is cured, proper care and recuperation will make everything okay."
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief and urged the doctor to prescribe the medicine so they could go and prepare it for Xin'er.
After the medicine was prepared and fed to Xin'er, and her body temperature finally began to slowly decrease, Mo Qingze finally had the opportunity to ask Mo Yan, "How did Xin'er get frightened? Is there anything wrong with our new house?"
They had just moved into the new house today and had performed rituals for all the deities in the morning. If Xin'er had been disturbed by something dirty, they would have to find a way to suppress it in the house.
Mo Yan felt guilty and explained the matter of the red python, blaming herself, "Father, blame me. If it weren't for me, Xin'er wouldn't have suffered so much."
Mo Qingze looked at his eldest daughter in astonishment. It was one thing to have good relations with wolves, but now even a large python wanted to come to their house. He didn't know what to say, but could this really be blamed on his eldest daughter?
"Don't blame yourself. No one wants something like this to happen. Xin'er was bitten by a snake before and is scared whenever she sees one. Fortunately, this time it's not too serious. But after all, it's a snake. If possible, ask it not to come to our house again. If it scares someone else, who knows what trouble it might cause."
"I understand."
Xin'er was bitten by a snake before? Mo Yan thought for a moment, vaguely recalling such an incident. But would the red python come again? She wasn't too sure. Although her words to it earlier were harsh, with its thick skin, it might forget about it in a few days. If it came to their house again, the three-meter-high courtyard wall wouldn't be able to stop it.
To be on the safe side, she had to go into the mountains and tell Da Bai about it, asking Da Bai to watch over that fellow and prevent it from coming down the mountain.
Li Xiu is shock listening yto the conversation between father and daughter with astonishment. No wonder such a big snake obediently left after Yan'er threw a stone at it. It turned out they were acquainted. But if that snake came to their house again in the future, what should they do?
About an hour later, following the doctor's instructions, Mo Yan fed Xin'er another dose of medicine. Soon after, Xin'er's high fever completely subsided, but she was still unconscious.
After the doctor checked Xin'er's pulse again, he prescribed another medicine, saying, "This medicine needs to be taken continuously for seven days. If a high fever occurs again within three days, use the previous medicine. Come back for a follow-up examination in seven days. If there are no problems, she should be fully recovered, just needs regular care."
The three thanked the doctor again. After paying the medical fees and buying the medicine, Mo Qingze carried Xin'er onto the carriage. By now, it was completely dark.
Xin'er was not in danger, so they didn't need to rush back. Plus, it was dark and they couldn't see the road, so it took two and a half hours to reach Liuyang Village.
When they arrived home, it was already midnight. Li Zhong and his two companions hadn't slept and were anxiously waiting at the door. Seeing them return, they finally felt relieved.
Mo Qingze put Xin'er on the bed. She was still unconscious, but her breathing was steady, and she didn't have any more nightmares. No one wanted to wake her up.
Mo Yan and the others hadn't eaten dinner yet and were starving. Li Yan quickly brought out the hot food from the pot, and they quickly finished it.
After dinner, Mo Yan explained why Xin'er got scared and fell ill, letting Li Zhong and little ones mentally prepare themselves. Then she said to Li Zhong, "Grandpa Li, after the thorn wall in the orchard is built, let's plant a circle of thorn walls around our courtyard, no, two circles."
