After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Although the lamp was gone, it was obvious that Wen Baizhi had lit a few more candles in the room before leaving.

So now the room is much brighter than before.

But Wen Baizhi was gone.

Si Jiu was extremely panicked.

He grabbed a candle at random and pushed the door open to go find her.

But I never expected that when I just went out, I would run into Wen Baizhi who was coming back with a lantern.

Si Jiu hurriedly went to meet him.

Although he didn't say a word, the anxiety in his eyes was particularly obvious.

Wen Baizhi trotted over to him and said, "Zijin, I'm sorry. I was in a hurry just now and went out directly. I only remembered to come back and tell you after I ran outside."

Si Jiu saw her anxious look in explaining, and then saw her messy hair on both sides, and he couldn't help but help her tidy up her hair.

"I'm fine. You don't have to run so fast next time." His tone was full of concern.

But Wen Baizhi wouldn't believe it.

Whenever she didn't greet him in advance, he would easily lose control.

After several times, she no longer understood what she had said to him in advance, which meant she was stupid.

"Just now, Cuizhi came to me and said that when she went to bring dinner to Rongheng, Rongheng told her that Xiaobao's condition is very bad. He has a high fever and has lost consciousness. She had already notified Liu Si Niang before she came to us."

Si Jiu's heart sank after hearing this.

After all, Xiaobao was brought back by them together. If anything went wrong, it would be a pity for everyone.

He took the lantern from Wen Baizhi's hand and said, "Let's go and take a look."

When the two arrived outside Rong Heng's house, Liu Si Niang was already waiting there.

Her face was covered with tear marks, but she tried to control herself from crying, for fear of affecting Rong Heng's treatment.

When Liu Si Niang saw Si Jiu and the other two coming, she was like she had seen a savior and kept kneeling on the ground.

Wen Baizhi hurriedly grabbed her falling body.

Liu Si Niang kept saying, "My benefactor, Xiaobao, no matter what the final outcome is, I will accept it."

Wen Baizhi heard her say these words from the very beginning.

She didn't feel anything at the time, but now when she heard it it made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

She frowned and said, "You and Xiaobao, since we have tried to treat him, we naturally hope that he will be fine, so we asked the best doctor here to treat Xiaobao.

Even each of the rest of us is at risk of infection, but no one can control what the final outcome will be.

You keep saying you don’t blame us, and it’s really chilling to hear.”

Liu Si Niang was just a peasant woman. She was speechless for a moment after hearing what she said. She just kept waving her hands, trying to prove that she didn't mean that.

Si Jiu had been standing silently beside him without saying a word. After seeing Wen Baizhi speak up for him, he also spoke:

"Mrs. Liu, Xiaobao's condition is serious. This is something everyone knows. Even if the final result is not satisfactory, we will do our best to live up to our conscience."

What he said was very fair.

Liu Si Niang's face gradually turned pale.

After that, everyone tacitly stopped talking and just waited anxiously outside the house for news from Rong Heng.

About a cup of tea later, Wen Baizhi was worried that Si Jiu could not stand.

She moved behind him and supported him with her body.

Si Jiu pushed his hand, Wen Baizhi tiptoed to his ear and said, "Don't reject me, Zijin. You have an old back injury. If you don't rely on me, you may not be able to stand up later."

She was telling the truth.

Si Jiu couldn't bear to see her suffer any more, nor did he want her to suffer any more in the future.

He tried to use his own strength to prop up his body a little, half leaning on Wen Baizhi.

After a while, Rong Heng finally opened the door.

As soon as he came out, Liu Si Niang was the first to greet him.

"Doctor Rong, Xiaobao, how is Xiaobao?"

Rong Heng showed reluctance: "Xiaobao has a high fever and I have tried every method to wake him up, but I can't wake him up. If he still doesn't wake up by tomorrow morning, then, then..."

He didn't say anything else, but Liu Si Niang understood his hesitation.

She felt as if her brain was hit by a heavy hammer and she was about to faint.

But she couldn't fall.

She grabbed Rong Heng's sleeve as if she was grasping at a life-saving straw: "Doctor Rong, please let me go in to see Xiaobao. At least, at least in the last moments, I want to be with him."

Rong Heng said worriedly: "He is still in the critical period. If you go in now, you will easily be infected."

Liu Si Niang shook her head in despair: "I'm not afraid. I'm Xiaobao's mother. I'll go in and keep him company and call out his name. Maybe he'll wake up."

As a doctor, Rong Heng would naturally reject her proposal.

But when he raised his eyes, his eyes met Si Jiu's.

Si Jiu nodded slightly at him.

Rong Heng finally said, "Forget it. If you go in, you must wear a veil and don't touch Xiaobao too much unless necessary."

Liu Si Niang thanked him and said, "Thank you, Doctor Rong. Thank you, Doctor Rong."

As she spoke she stumbled into the house.

"Xiaobao, my son!"

A mother's love is the most touching thing. When Wen Baizhi heard such a cry, she instantly regretted what she had just said to her.

After all, she was just a mother worried about her child.

She told Si Jiu: "I will apologize to her the next time I see her. What I said just now was a bit too hurtful to her."

Si Jiu comforted him, "Don't blame you, don't blame her, we just have different standpoints. Just do your best."

Everything in the world never changes according to people's ideas.

All people can do is to adapt again and again.

Rong Heng was still standing outside the house.

Wen Baizhi thought of the words she had reminded him before. She knew that with Rong Heng's medical skills, he must have done everything he could, but the fever just couldn't be reduced, and there was nothing he could do.

She asked Rong Heng: "If we can find Isatis root now, is it possible to save Xiaobao?"

Rong Heng has been almost sleepless these days, and his face looks haggard and exhausted.

"If we can find Isatis root and give it a try, we might still have a chance of survival." He paused, "But the problem is, I have only heard of Isatis root. I know it grows not far from Jinzhou, but I don't know what it looks like. We can't find it."

Wen Baizhi knew what it looked like, but she couldn't draw it, so she could only imagine it.

Suddenly an idea struck her.

Si Jiu had just shown his extraordinary talent for painting in front of her not long ago. If she described the picture in her mind to him, she wondered if he could draw it.

She thought so and said so to Si Jiu.

Si Jiu thought for a moment and said, "I can give it a try. No matter what, we have to try any method we can."

Wen Baizhi had the same idea as him. It was still a long time before tomorrow morning, so maybe they still had a chance.
