Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Entertaining Guests with a Warm House, Buying Cattle and Horses (3)_1

Mo Yan knew she couldn’t show even a hint of softness toward this fellow, otherwise, once it clung to her, she wouldn’t be able to shake it off. So, she left without paying attention to its movements.

The Red Python stared resentfully at Mo Yan, who didn’t even look back, feeling that its snake life was hopeless...

When she returned to Xin Er’s room, she saw that Xin Er had not woken up, but Zhenzhen had fallen asleep by the bedside. Mo Yan smiled, took off Zhenzhen’s shoes, and gently carried him to the other end of the bed to let him sleep well.

She sat by the bed for a while, watching her siblings’ sweet sleeping faces, and Mo Yan also felt a bit tired, so she lay down at the bedside.

"Mmm...mm... It hurts... Sister, Xin Er is in pain... It’s so uncomfortable..."

Mo Yan did not know how much time had passed when she hazily heard Xin Er’s whimpers. She suddenly woke up, turned to look at Xin Er, and saw her furrowing her brows tightly, her face crimson, and murmuring incessantly.

"Xin Er, wake up, don’t scare your sister, please wake up!" Mo Yan called out to Xin Er in panic, gently patting her face, trying to awaken her from the nightmare. But when she felt her touch, it was scorching hot—Xin Er had developed a high fever.

A jolt went through Mo Yan’s heart; she knew something was wrong and regretted not having taken Xin Er to see the doctor in time. If the fever continued like this, she might be burnt up by it.

She called out for a long time but couldn’t wake her, instead awakening Zhenzhen, who saw his second sister’s lips were so burnt they were peeling, which frightened him until his face turned pale.

"Zhenzhen, quickly go and call Dad over," Mo Yan ordered as she frantically dressed Xin Er, urging Zhenzhen to call for help, her heart filled with self-reproach.

"Oh, okay."

Zhenzhen responded and ran off to find their father without even bothering to put on his shoes.

Mo Qingze had not fully sobered up from his drink, and it took Zhenzhen crying and shouting for quite some time to wake him. As soon as he heard that his second daughter had a high fever, he was so scared that he immediately climbed out of bed and ran barefoot to Xin Er’s courtyard.

Aunt Lixiu and her nephew lived in the row of houses by the main gate, some distance from where the four members of the Mo Family lived. It wasn’t until Mo Qingze carried Xin Er out that they realized she was unwell.

There were no horse-drawn carriages or ox-carts in Liu Yang Village. Mo Yan only managed to borrow a rickshaw from Yang Bao’s House. They laid a thick blanket on the rickshaw and placed the murmuring Xin Er on top, then Mo Qingze steadied the rickshaw and rushed toward the city.

The journey of forty li would take at least four hours at a minimum, and with time being critical, Mo Qingze ran almost the entire way. Mo Yan and Lixiu followed behind, pushing the rickshaw forcefully, wishing they could move even faster.

Seeing Xin Er’s face already burnt to a purplish red, Mo Yan was filled with regret. She resented herself for provoking the Red Python, which frightened Xin Er, and also hated herself for her careless oversight in not seeking medical help for Xin Er immediately. If anything happened to Xin Er, she would never forgive herself in this lifetime.

With their hearts aflame with worry, the trio managed to reach the city in just one and a half hours, immediately finding a nearby clinic.

"The child is already burning up like this, why didn’t you bring her earlier?"

Seeing Xin Er’s pitiful condition, the doctor was also shocked and then scolded Mo Qingze.

"Doctor, please examine my daughter," Mo Qingze implored, too worried about his daughter’s condition to heed anything else.

The doctor dared not delay and quickly instructed Mo Qingze to lay Xin Er on the sickbed in the inner room before sitting down next to her to take her pulse.

After a while, the doctor withdrew his hand and said with furrowed brows, "This child has suffered a great fright, leading to an adverse flow of Qi and blood and the sudden onset of this serious condition. Fortunately, you brought her here in time. Had it been half an hour later, the child could have been seriously harmed. Now, we can only prescribe some strong medicine to bring down the fever first."
