The two little ones were in unbearable pain, at first they cried and squird uncomfortably when put in the bath.
But after soaking for a while, their bodies had started to turn black, and even their cries had diminished significantly.
Normally, when people soak in water for a long ti, their bodies beco paler and sotis even peel or swell.
But these two little ones not only failed to beco pale, they actually turned black!
"What, what’s happening here?"
Hong Ye carefully held the child, in her hands was the younger son who had already taken the dicine.
Because of taking the dicine, his condition improved significantly, even though he was still in the herbal bath, he didn’t turn as black as his older brother, instead, his skin showed a bit of healthy wheat color.
But even so, he also beca pale, which was not a good sign.
Xia Geng, holding the older son, was both worried and anxious, the older son hadn’t taken the dicine, and his situation was likely more perilous than the younger son’s.
Zhen Xiuming couldn’t manage one child, let alone both at the sa ti.
Because the younger son had taken the dicine, deep down, he was more inclined to save the younger son.
After quickly inserting the Silver Needle into several major acupoints on the younger son, Zhen Xiuming finally found a mont to speak: "The dicinal properties of this herbal bath are hard to control, I can only try. Their current situation is expected, and in fact, their real condition is likely more serious than what we see."
Indeed, it was worse.
Both Hong Ye and Xia Geng, who possessed Inner Strength, could clearly feel the children’s blood flow speed alternating between racing and slowing while holding them.
When it raced, it was like the surging waves of a big sea, capable of devouring everything in the blink of an eye. And when it slowed, it made one mistakenly think it had stopped entirely, with no detectable fluctuations at all.
This varying speed, even an adult would find it hard to endure, let alone the children!
"Children, you must hold on! You are my Xia Geng’s sons, you’re destined to be strong n, nothing can beat you! You will surely survive! You must!"
Silently reciting in his heart, Xia Geng watched as both children were covered with Silver Needles. Being so young yet enduring such pain, how could he, as a father, not feel heartbroken?
Fortunately, after giving birth, Ran Qing was too exhausted and fell asleep after taking dicine.
If she were to see the state of the two children now, Zhen Xiuming would probably have to divert his attention to saving a third person—her!
Perhaps feeling the hopes of everyone, or maybe due to Zhen Xiuming’s prescription, the first day, the two children passed safely.
After coming out of the herbal bath, the younger child, in slightly better condition, even opened his eyes and cried for a bit!
Seeing his son’s cute and mischievous manner, Xia Geng’s eyes suddenly filled with tears, even more moved than when he first held newborn Xia Yuan.
Ran Qing still had so residual toxins in her body, and after giving birth she drank the concoction made by Zhen Xiuming and fell asleep.
When she woke up, she saw the two tightly wrapped little ones lying beside her sleeping quietly, and she was overwheld with emotion.
"They, they..."
Too overwheld, she couldn’t even finish her sentence.
Xia Geng knew what she wanted to say, he held her hands and nodded repeatedly, saying: "They’re fine, they’re fine!"
Fine ans alive, wonderful!
Nothing would make Ran Qing happier than waking up to find both children still alive.
Ran Qing laughed out of happiness, but as she laughed, tears began to fall too.
No one could understand what she felt at this mont, the hardships these two children endured, truthfully, she brought upon them.
She felt she owed them an apology.
"Qing Qing, stop crying, give the two children nas!"
Xia Geng raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, forcing a smile to try and console her.
His arm was sore and achy from holding the older son during the herbal bath, incredibly uncomfortable.
But seeing his wife and sons by his side, his heart was filled with contentnt.
"Yes, let’s na them. Naming them will ensure..."
It will ensure they are less likely to die.
Ran Qing quickly wiped away her tears and, after a mont of contemplation, said, "People often say that giving a child a humble na helps them survive, maybe we should give them humble nas!"
Xia Yuan’s na was chosen by Xia Geng, and he hoped the nas of their two younger sons would be chosen by Ran Qing.
