Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 448 - 446

Chapter 448: Chapter 446

Shangguan Xuanyi was unconscious for half an hour before being bitten awake by Xiao Bai. As soon as he woke up, he realized he was not as cold anymore. He reached out to grab Xiao Bai, who was lying on him, and threw it away. Without caring about the pain in his whole body, he immediately got up, stumbled over to where the horse was tied up, untied the rope, and after a couple of attempts, he finally managed to get on the horse and then hurried to Hemu County.

He feared that if he didn’t rush back quickly, the soul-reviving grass would lose its effectiveness.

In winter evenings, perhaps because the weather was too cold, the sun rested earlier than usual.

Having nothing to do, Jingrui and Zhao Yong were practicing martial arts in the courtyard.

After this incident, he was even more determined to improve his martial arts skills, not just improve them, but to become top-notch! He had been practicing fundamentals daily for several years, which provided a solid foundation. Now, it was time to learn the techniques.

After practicing for an entire afternoon, the two of them ended the session.

"Let’s stop here for today. Young master, you’ve made quite a progress. It seems like the basic training over the years has really paid off."

Hearing this, Jingrui humbly replied with a smile, "That’s because Brother Zhao taught me well."

Zhao Yong shook his head, "And also because young master, you have high comprehension. Both gifts and comprehension are essential in martial arts, lacking either one would not make one a top-notch martial artist."

The two of them walked into the house while talking.

At that moment, Shangguan Xuanyi came in staggering. He took out a jade box and handed it to Zhao Yong, "Quick, make the medicine!."

After he spoke, he could not support himself any longer and collapsed!

As Zhao Yong took the jade box, he trembled, "Master!"

"Brother Shangguan!" Jingrui reacted quickly and hurriedly caught Shangguan Xuanyi.

After hearing the commotion, Yang Liu rushed out and, upon seeing the situation, quickly took the jade box, trembling as she did so, "I’ll make the medicine, you go and get a doctor!"

Zhao Yong rushed out as soon as he regained his senses.

Jingrui carried Shangguan Xuanyi into the house.

On hearing that Shangguan Xuanyi had fainted and a doctor was needed, Magistrate Zhu was so scared that his legs started shaking.

He immediately ordered his men to bring the best doctor from the clinic, and quickly went to check on Shangguan Xuanyi.

The doctor arrived very soon. Shangguan Xuanyi had suffered severe injuries from falling halfway down a mountain, plus severe frostbite. His face was flushed with high fever.

After checking his pulse, the doctor shook his head, "The injuries are too severe and the frostbite too serious. He had a bumpy journey back, which only added to his injuries. I’ll prescribe a medicine. Try to get him to ingest it and see if the fever can be reduced and whether there’s any improvement overnight. If not, I’m afraid there’s not much I can do."

Hearing the doctor’s words, Magistrate Zhu almost knelt down. If the Sixth Prince died in his house! It would take more than a thousand of his own lives to atone for it!

"Doctor Lin, you must find a way to save him! If he can’t be saved, we’ll all lose our lives!" Magistrate Zhu tightly grabbed Doctor Lin’s hand, almost in tears.

He regretted immensely for inviting the Sixth Prince to stay at his mansion! This was clearly an invitation for disaster. He never expected the Sixth Prince would go to gather herbs by himself. Had he known, he would have sent a hundred thousand guards to protect him.

Seeing Magistrate Zhu in such a state, Doctor Lin was extremely shocked. The doctor wonders who this patient is that, if not saved, everyone would lose their lives.

Did Magistrate Zhu want to kill him? He still asked him to come to see such a hopeless case! Did he think too highly of his medical skills?

Was it too late to refuse to treat now?!

Zhao Yong wished he could kick Magistrate Zhu, and then he coldly stared at the doctor. He was only a step away from grinding his teeth, "Prescribe the medicine quickly! You’d better do your best to save him, or else, prepare for your entire family to be buried with him!"

He actually dares to curse the death of the master! And what kind of doctor is this? Where is the benevolence of a medical practitioner? Zhao Yong clearly saw the retreat in his eyes!

Doctor Lin, scared by Zhao Yong’s words, was trembling as he wrote the prescription.

The prescription was finally finished, but the handwriting was distorted.

Magistrate Zhu immediately sent someone to fetch the medicine.

Doctor Lin wanted to leave, but Zhao Yong wouldn’t allow it. Until the master wakes up, he can think again about leaving!

After Yang Liu brewed the medicine soup, she fed it to Xiao’er. However, Xiao’er still did not wake up.

In space, Xiao’er already knew that because of Shangguan Xuanyi’s attempt to fetch the soul-reviving grass, he was seriously injured and fainted with a persistent fever.

Was he thinking that they should face difficulties together or was he trying to pay back a life for a life? But, she really didn’t need him to do this at all!

Although there is an abundance of medicinal materials in space, she can’t help him if she can’t wake up.

The golden python and the three geese looked at each other, both feeling that they deserved it!

In the middle of the night, Shangguan Xuanyi’s high fever not only didn’t abate, but his body temperature went even higher. His face was also redder.

Zhao Yong, like an eagle snatching a chicken, pulled Doctor Lin over and asked him to find a way to reduce the fever.

Doctor Lin shook as he felt Shangguan Xuanyi’s pulse. After a long time, he still couldn’t figure out what was the problem.

Zhao Yong was anxious, like an ant on a hot pan. The soul-reviving grass was picked but not only did it not wake up the girl, but it also cost Shangguan Xuanyi’s life — was heaven blind? It made these two good people not wake up!

"Think fast and help my master reduce his fever! Otherwise, I’ll exterminate you now!"

Upon hearing this, Doctor Lin almost cried. If he could think of something, would he hide it and not say it? He wanted to live, okay!

Jingrui helped Shangguan Xuanyi wipe his body, using physical cooling methods that Xiao’er taught.

Suddenly, he noticed that the wound on Shangguan Xuanyi’s hand did not look like a scrape but rather like a bite from an animal. He quickly signaled Doctor Lin: "Doctor Lin, come over and look. Was this wound bitten by an animal?"

Upon hearing this, Doctor Lin rushed over, picked up his hand and had a look. Then he remembered that there was a kind of beaver on Kunlun Snow Mountain. After biting a person, it would cause a relentless fever. A minor case would result in a person being burned into an idiot, a serious case would cost a life!

"It must have been bitten by a beaver! No wonder the fever won’t stop!" Doctor Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

"What the hell is a beaver? Since you know you’d better prescribe medicine fast." This quack, such an important wound and he has not discovered it!

"Don’t worry, I will write a new prescription right away. Once we bring his fever down, the rest of the injury will be completely healed in half a month."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yong almost spat blood! What a quack doctor! It’s something that the girl could solve with a single pill - and yet he would need half a month!

But, there was no other way. In this godforsaken place, it is said that this man’s medical skills were the best. He truly felt sorry for the people in this county, that their most skilled doctor was only like this!

After taking his new medicine, Shangguan Xuanyi’s temperature gradually began to drop.

Everyone who had been worried for a day and a night breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Wen was also scared out of her wits. Now that she knew that Shangguan Xuanyi would recover after half a month of rest, she instructed the kitchen to cook some light lean meat porridge early in the morning, and then called her daughter to send it to Shangguan Xuanyi.

Zhu Yan knew early on that the person living in the courtyard had an extremely honorable status.

After hearing last night that his life was in danger, she dared not show up. Now that she knew he could be saved, she got up early to dress up. Then she went to her mother’s courtyard, picked up the food that Mrs. Wen had prepared, and walked towards the courtyard.
