In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 854 A Ray of Hope

Chapter 854: Chapter 854 A Ray of Hope

Taohua Valley did not have peach blossoms in bloom, but its branches were laden with heavy peach fruits.

Ascending from the peach grove by the riverbed to the upper slope, various kinds of medicinal ingredients, emitting the fragrance of fresh grass, were planted everywhere.

Qin Yi and the others had just appeared when someone who had been waiting at the dock greeted them.

"So it is Lord Marquis who has arrived! Gentlemen, please follow me, it just so happens that my master is in the valley today! Oh, what has happened to Mrs. Qin?"

Su Pan’er often discussed medicine with Old Xue, and through their frequent interactions, the attendants around Old Xue became familiar with Su Pan’er and the others.

However, Qin Yi had no patience to talk more with the young servant: "Is Old Xue in the valley? Hurry up, my wife has had an accident!"

An accident?

The young servant’s gaze fell upon the figure Qin Yi had just carried off the boat, and upon seeing her cyanotic face, he immediately stepped back two paces with his face dramatically changing!

"Quick, follow me this way!"

With that, he hurriedly led the way.

Qin Yi and Ye Han did not hesitate and followed immediately.

Fortunately, Old Xue came quickly, and upon seeing the condition of Su Pan’er, he dispensed with pleasantries and urgently examined her.

Just a glance at Su Pan’er’s face, and Old Xue’s expression turned particularly grim!

Qin Yi naturally noticed the change in Old Xue’s expression, and the hope in his heart slowly sank.

"Old Xue, Pan’er... she’s not in danger, is she?"

Old Xue looked back at the two and said nothing, instead examining Su Pan’er’s condition more closely.

"She has been stabbed in the chest, the blade not more than an inch deep, not hitting any vital organs. It seems there is a lot of bleeding, but actually it is not harmful. Moreover, there is blood coming from her mouth, nose, ears, and all her orifices, the blood is bright red, showing no signs of poisoning. Obviously, she has died from a serious blow to the head..."

Upon hearing the word "dead," Qin Yi nearly jumped up in agitation!

"Dead? How can it be death? Old Xue, please look again, with Pan’er’s skills, how could she just die like this! Old Xue, I beg you!"

He had endured a long journey overnight to Taohua Valley for the sole purpose of reviving Pan’er!

"Be quiet!"

Old Xue, who detested disruptions while diagnosing patients, immediately put on a stern face when interrupted.

"Am I the one treating the illness, or are you? Get out!"

Had it not been for the sake of that ugly girl, Pan’er, he would have ordered someone to throw him out of Taohua Valley long ago!

"But I..."

Qin Yi wanted to argue further, but was forcibly dragged out by Ye Han.

"Stop making a fuss! Right now, Old Xue is the only one who can save Pan’er. By continuing to stay there, do you want to extinguish the last hope for Pan’er as well? Ah!"

"No! I want to stay by her side. Let me stay with her. I promise I won’t say a word! Old Xue, Old Xue..."

Qin Yi struggled to rush back into the house, but was dragged out by Ye Han holding him back: "Stop making a fuss! If Old Xue is willing to start treatment, that means Pan’er still has a chance!"

This remark made Qin Yi’s eyes brighten! He immediately stopped struggling.

Right!

If a person is truly dying, what is the use of treatment? Since Old Xue had sent them out to treat the patient, there must still be a method of treatment!

Joy surged onto Qin Yi’s face! But in a brief moment, worry returned to it.

He moved his lips several times, "I just want to be with her... whether in life or death, always together, never apart..."

His words grew fainter and fainter, a soft mutter, yet they reached Ye Han’s ears without missing a word.

After a moment of silence, Ye Han finally advised, "As long as there is a sliver of hope, we should not give up! Let’s wait here, Old Xue will call us if there is any news. Brother Qin!" He patted Qin Yi forcefully on the shoulder.

Qin Yi nodded vigorously, "Okay!"

As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would never give up!

But this wait lasted from the evening until the next morning.

During that time, a servant delivered meals twice, and although both were hungry, neither had the appetite to eat. They continued to stare at the closed door, awaiting news.

When the door finally opened, both thought they were seeing things, until Old Xue spoke, and they jumped up and crowded around.

"I’m worn out, sigh! Old age, not much use anymore," Old Xue said as he leaned on the door, coming out.

Qin Yi quickly stepped forward to support him, "Old Xue, how is Pan’er... how is she?"

Old Xue waved his hand, his face pale and his back hunched, and sat down on a chair outside. Ye Han saw this and quickly went to pour a cup of refreshment, bringing it to Old Xue’s side.

Old Xue picked up the tea cup, and it wasn’t until he finished the entire cup that he began to recover.

"This ugly girl Pan’er’s condition... she might have suffered a heavy blow to the head. I’ve checked carefully; her other injuries are easy to heal, but this here..."

Old Xue pointed to his own head, "The brain is the most critical part of a human. Once it suffers a severe injury, and the brain can’t control the body, it becomes very difficult to heal. Right now, Pan’er still has a breath left in her, but it’s not much different from being dead. Generally speaking, if she can wake up within three days of her injury, there should be no problem!"

Qin Yi’s and Ye Han’s faces changed instantly!

It had been three days since Pan’er had been injured!

Qin Yi’s lips turned white, and although he wanted to ask, he couldn’t bring himself to say the words.

In the end, it was Ye Han who asked, "What if, what if she doesn’t wake up after three days?"

Old Xue poured himself another cup of water, sighing after hearing this, "If she can’t wake up within three days, I’m afraid..." she wouldn’t wake up at all!

Though Old Xue didn’t finish his sentence, both understood what he meant.

Strength drained from Qin Yi’s body, and he felt his vision darken, nearly fainting! But thinking of Pan’er, he bit down on his tongue, forcing himself to stay conscious.

"Is there really no other way? Can we only watch her..."

The word "die" was something Qin Yi couldn’t bring himself to say out loud.

"It’s not to say that there’s no hope at all; generally, as long as it’s within seven days, there’s still hope."

Old Xue hesitated before adding, "But you have to think it through, the longer it takes, the slimmer the chance of waking up becomes. Or in other words, even if she does wake up in the future, there’s no telling if she will be able to function normally. However, within these seven days, I will do my utmost to keep her alive. Whether or not she can wake up will be up to her fate!"

If the injured person wasn’t this ugly girl Pan’er, but someone else, he wouldn’t have said these things.

Where was there a chance she could wake up? It was a one in a million chance.

Too faint, almost a certain death, even though he said these words, he didn’t believe the ugly girl could wake up!

Qin Yi and Ye Han were both silent, and the room felt deathly still.

Qin Yi still wouldn’t give up, "Old Xue, is there really no other way? Not even a slight chance?"

Old Xue furrowed his brows, thinking for a long time, "I seem to recall reading in some medical book that, in this kind of situation, it’s best if the patient’s closest acquaintances talk to her more, and call her name often. Maybe that could wake her up."
