Chapter 257: Chapter 239, Not Optimistic_1
“Amitabha, thank heavens, thank goodness, Big Brother has finally stopped having diarrhea!”
Watching Yan Wenxiu, who lay in bed with steady breathing, deeply asleep, Yan Wenkai and Wentao both heaved a huge sigh of relief.
Yan Wenxiu had been suffering from diarrhea for three days; if it had continued, they really didn’t dare to think what might happen.
Yan Wenkai left Qin Shisan behind to take good care of Big Brother, then he and the others quietly left the room. Once outside the door, he said, “If we had known that the dicine prepared by our little sister was so effective, we should’ve given it to him when he first had diarrhea. He suffered needlessly for three days.”
Wentao: “All right, let’s not talk about that now. Let’s hurry and take the dicine to Zhou Big Brother; don’t forget, his diarrhea has lasted even longer than Big Brother’s.”
Yan Wenkai nodded repeatedly and quickly walked with Wentao towards the courtyard where Zhou Chengye lived, saying as they walked, “I always said scholars have fragile health. They used to argue with about it all the ti. After this experience, let’s see if they can still be so stubborn.”
Halfway there, they ran into Wu Hongda.
Yan Wenkai quickly asked, “What’s the rush?”
A look of urgency was written all over Wu Hongda’s face: “Big Brother Su has started having diarrhea too, I’m on my way to see him.”
Yan Wenkai and Wentao were instantly anxious: “How co he’s started as well?”
Wu Hongda wiped the sweat from his forehead and, having his suspicions, was eager to speak a few words but worried about causing panic. He could only feel anxious inside.
“Where’s the Imperial Physician? Why did he send you?” Yan Wenkai asked with furrowed brows.
Wu Hongda: “This morning, Zhou Big Brother began to suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, the situation looks grim. The Imperial Physician can’t leave his side, so he asked to check on Hongxin’s condition.”
“Is it that serious?”
Wentao quickly poured out two pills and handed them to Yan Wenkai: “I’ll go see Zhou Big Brother; you follow Hongda to see Hongxin. If the pain gets too bad, take the dicine.”
Seeing the dicine bottle in Wentao’s hand, Wu Hongda imdiately leaned in: “What dicine do you have there?”
Yan Wenkai grabbed him: “Alright, we’ll talk while we walk, let’s go see Hongxin first.”
The group split up.
Wentao ran towards Zhou Chengye’s courtyard at a brisk pace. At this mont, Zhou family’s servants each had a gloomy face. Xiao Yeyang and Dong Yuanxuan, too, stood in the courtyard with solemn expressions.
Seeing Wentao, Xiao Yeyang asked with knitted brows: “How is your Big Brother now?”
Wentao: “He’s fine now; he’s asleep. Little Prince, I need to deliver dicine to Zhou Big Brother first; I’ll explain in detail later.” With that, he hurriedly ran into Zhou Chengye’s room.
Soon after, shouts from the Imperial Physician could be heard from inside the room.
“Oh dear, Third Master Yan, please get out. Be careful you don’t get infected too.”
“Contagious? This disease is contagious?”
“Get out quickly, get out, there’s no ti to explain!”
“I’m here to deliver dicine; my Big Brother took this and imdiately stopped having diarrhea. You should let Zhou Big Brother have so quickly.”
“Really? What kind of dicine is it? Show it to quickly.”
In the courtyard, Xiao Yeyang and Dong Yuanxuan exchanged a quick glance. When Wentao was sent out, they imdiately pulled him aside.
“Is Wenxiu really okay?”
Wentao nodded: “Really, he’s okay; he’s already asleep. Otherwise, Wenkai and I wouldn’t dare to leave.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang and Dong Yuanxuan both breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yeyang: “What was the dicine you just took in?”
Wentao: “It’s an antidiarrheal, prepared by little sister.”
Xiao Yeyang: “Since Daohua prepared dicine for you, why didn’t you take it out and use it earlier?”
Yan Wentao was silent for a mont: “We thought that the dicine prepared by Big Sister wouldn’t be more effective than what the Imperial Physician prescribes.”
Xiao Yeyang looked speechless but didn’t have the heart to say more, as he probably wouldn’t have believed in Daohua’s half-baked skills either.
After a while, the Imperial Physician ca out beaming: “Little Prince, Young Master Zhou has stopped vomiting and having diarrhea after taking the dicine.”
Xiao Yeyang and the others all shared a mont of joy.
The Imperial Physician imdiately turned to Yan Wentao: “Third Young Master Yan, do you still have any of that anti-diarrheal dicine in your hands?”
Yan Wentao nodded: “There should be so left, I didn’t look closely just now.”
The Imperial Physician’s eyes lit up: “Third Young Master Yan, if you still have dicine, could you lend it to this old man for now? As you know, the Governor’s soldiers are at the forefront providing disaster relief, and many in the army are suffering from diarrhea.”
Yan Wentao: “Of course, however, I suspect there might not be enough.”
The Imperial Physician: “We’ll treat those with severe conditions first, then I’ll see if I can concoct the sa dicine.”
Yan Wentao: “Alright, I’ll go get it now.”
Xiao Yeyang: “Chengye is fine now, let’s go with you to get it and check on Wenxiu on the way.”
Soon, they arrived at the courtyard where the Yan Wenxiu brothers lived.
The courtyard was very quiet. Xiao Yeyang and Dong Yuanxuan stood outside the window, glanced at the deeply sleeping Yan Wenxiu in the room, and then quietly went to the main hall.
Yan Wentao took out the package prepared by Daohua, placed each bottle of dicine on the table one by one, and then examined them individually.
dicine for fever, diarrhea, wound treatnt, treating colds… All the commonly used dicines were there, three bottles of each kind.
After looking them over, Yan Wentao deftly took one bottle of each type and then pushed the rest toward Xiao Yeyang.
If it had been any other ti, he would have offered all the dicine, but this ti, his big brother’s illness had scared him and Wenkai, so he needed to keep so dicine for themselves, whether they’d need it or not.
Seeing him do this, neither Xiao Yeyang nor Dong Yuanxuan felt there was anything wrong.
Good things naturally should be kept for oneself, especially since these were life-saving dicines. The fact that the Yan brothers were willing to share so with them at this ti was already an act of benevolence.
Xiao Yeyang instructed Defu to deliver the dicine to the Imperial Physician and then looked at Yan Wentao, patted his shoulder earnestly, and said, “On behalf of the soldiers in the army, I thank you.”
Yan Wentao shook his head repeatedly: “It’s nothing, besides, if there’s anyone to thank, it should be Daohua.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang smiled and said no more.
During their conversation, Yan Wenkai and Wu Hongda ca back.
Upon returning, Yan Wenkai didn’t wait to be asked; he directly reported Su Hongxin’s situation: “Hongxin is one lucky fellow, just had to run to the latrine a couple of tis and it stopped, much more fortunate than my brother and Big Brother Zhou.”
With Yan Wenxiu, Zhou Chengye, and Su Hongxin all improving, Xiao Yeyang and the others felt a great deal more at ease.
Seeing everyone’s smiling faces, Wu Hongda didn’t want to kill the mood, but he was genuinely worried and couldn’t help but speak up: “Little Prince, Brother Dong, Wentao, Wenkai, I’m worried…”
Seeing his grave expression, the others also stopped smiling.
Yan Wenkai, seeing Wu Hongda hesitant to speak, grew anxious: “What are you worried about? Just say it.”
Wu Hongda gritted his teeth and said directly: “I’m afraid an epidemic might break out here in Jiguang.” After speaking, he lowered his head.
The others fell silent at the sa ti.
After a long pause, Xiao Yeyang finally spoke up: “The weather is too hot, and the situation here in Jiguang is indeed not very optimistic.” A few days ago, his uncle had sent soone to tell him to be careful with his diet and not to wander around too much.
