"Are there any side effects to aggressive dications?" Mo Yan’s heart relaxed at first, then worry crept back in. Seeing the doctor looking at her with confusion, she hurriedly changed her words, "My little sister is still young, and I fear she might not withstand strong dicines. Could it harm her body?"
The doctor nodded approvingly, "All dicines have their poisons, so harm is certain. However, you need not worry. Once she recovers from the illness, she just needs to be well-cared-for for a period, and she will be fine."
All three sighed in relief upon hearing this and urged the doctor to prescribe the dicine quickly so they could prepare it for Xin Er to take.
After the dicine was prepared and fed to Xin Er, and her fever finally began to recede slowly, Mo Qingze found the opportunity to ask Mo Yan, "What frightened Xin Er? Is there sothing amiss at our ho?"
We just moved into our new house today and had just offered sacrifices to the local deities this morning. If Xin Er was startled by sothing unclean, then we must find a way to suppress it within the house.
Hearing this, Mo Yan began to feel guilty and told them about the incident with the Red Python, blaming herself, "Father, you must be upset with . If it weren’t for , Xin Er wouldn’t have suffered so much."
Mo Qingze stared blankly at his eldest daughter, having co to terms with her good relations with two wolves was one thing, but now even Red Pythons seed to be coming to their doorstep, and he didn’t know what to say. However, could he really bla this incident on his daughter?
"Don’t bla yourself, no one could have wished for such an incident. Xin Er had been bitten by a snake before and has been scared of them ever since. Luckily, there was no severe harm this ti. However, that is a snake after all. If possible, have it stay away from our ho. If it frightens soone else again, it could cause serious trouble."
"Yes, I understand."
Xin Er had been bitten by a snake? Mo Yan thought for a mont; it did seem like such an incident was in her mory. However, she wasn’t sure if the Red Python would return. Despite her harsh words earlier, given its thick-skinned nature, it might well forget all about it after a few days. If it ca to their house again, the three-ter-high courtyard wall would not stop it.
For safety’s sake, she decided to go into the mountains to talk to Dabai and ask him to keep an eye on the creature, to prevent it from coming down.
Lixiu, listening to the father and daughter’s conversation on the side, was shocked. No wonder the large snake obediently slithered away after Yanyan threw a stone at it—it turns out the snake was an acquaintance. But what would they do if the snake returned to their ho in the future?
About two hours later, under the doctor’s instruction, Mo Yan fed Xin Er another dose of dicine. Before long, Xin Er’s high fever completely subsided, though she had yet to awaken.
After taking Xin Er’s pulse, the doctor prescribed another formula: "This prescription needs to be taken continuously for seven days. If a high fever occurs within three days, use the previous prescription. Co back for a follow-up visit after seven days. If there are no complications, she’ll be considered fully recovered and will only need routine care from then on."
The three expressed their gratitude to the doctor again. Once they had gotten the prescription filled and paid the consultation fee and cost of the dicine, Mo Qingze carried Xin Er to the carriage, by which ti the sky had turned completely dark.
Now that Xin Er was out of danger, they were not as rushed to return ho. Moreover, since it was dark and difficult to see the road, it took them two and a half hours to reach Liu Yang Village.
When they arrived ho, it was already the Zi Hour. Lizhong and the others hadn’t gone to bed yet and were standing anxiously at the gate waiting for them. Only when they saw Mo Qingze and his daughter return did they feel relieved.
Mo Qingze laid Xin Er on the bed, and although she continued to sleep soundly, her breathing was light and smooth, and she was not having any more nightmares, so no one wanted to wake her up.
Mo Yan and the others had not had dinner yet and were starving. Liyan quickly brought out the food that she had kept warm in the pot, and they finished the al in no ti.
After dinner, Mo Yan spoke about how Xin Er had beco frightened and fallen ill, preparing the uninford Lizhong and his grandfather for what had happened, then said to Lizhong, "Grandfather Li, once the thorn wall in the orchard is planted, also plant one around our courtyard wall, no, make it two circles."
