Chi Jiao’s serious expression made Pei Yao’s heart tremble.
She looked at Beitang Lie, who was lying on the bed and staring at her pitifully. For some reason, her heart ached for him.
“What medicine do you need? There should be a place in this village that sells medicine, right?” Pei Yao asked.
“Everyone in this village believes in witch doctors. When they’re sick, they look for witch doctors to treat them. Witch doctors are not good at healing,” Huo Chen said.
Chi Jiao had no intention of finding a witch doctor. After some thought, she said, “Actually, it’s not difficult. Mount Wu has a lot of natural resources and many herbs. There must be herbs on the mountain that can treat Beitang Lie.”
“Then, let’s go up the mountain and find them,” Huo Chen said without hesitation.
“Officer Huo and I will go up the mountain together. It’ll be faster this way,” Quan Jue said indifferently.
Chi Jiao couldn’t help glancing sideways at him, her eyes filled with admiration and trust.
Brother Quan was the kind of person who looked cold but was actually warm-hearted.
“Sister Pei Yao, please bring a pen and paper over. I want to draw the herbs so that Officer Huo and Brother Quan can find them,” Chi Jiao said.
Pei Yao hurriedly went to their room to get a pen and paper.
As Chi Jiao drew the image of the medicinal herbs on the white paper, she said to Quan Jue and Huo Chen, “You have to find a total of three kinds of medicinal herbs. One is the Dragon Tongue Flower, which is purple. The other is the White Jade Grass, which is white. The other is the Golden Orchid, which is orange. These three kinds of herbs are quite common and should be very easy to find. After you find them, you have to come back as soon as possible. Beitang Lie can only last until tomorrow morning.”
Yesterday, on the way up the mountain to find the temple, she had already spotted the White Jade Grass and Dragon Tongue Flower.
However, at that time, she was focused on finding the temple and did not think that any of them would be allergic to the miasma.
After all, the chances of a person having such a serious allergic reaction to miasma were one in a million.
Beitang Lie was truly unlucky.
After Chi Jiao finished drawing the herbs, Huo Chen and Quan Jue left with the drawings and two bottles of water.
Beitang Lie’s mouth was taped up. In the beginning, he could still make some whimpering sounds. But now, he had calmed down.
This was because he was starting to have a fever.
Beitang Lie closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. His face was as red as a cooked prawn. He seemed to be in great pain, and his eyes were closed the entire time.
Luckily, Chi Jiao had brought some fever medicine with her. She gave Beitang Lie some fever medicine and a few injections to prevent his condition from worsening too quickly.
After doing all that, Chi Jiao sat on the small stool, planning to rest.
Pei Yao sat by the brick bed and used a cold towel to wipe Beitang Lie’s face to cool him down.
Seeing that she was taking such good care of him, Chi Jiao smiled. “Sister Pei Yao, what do you think of Beitang Lie?”
Hearing her question, Pei Yao’s breathing paused.
Her face flushed red.
“He’s a good little boy.”
On their way to Feng Tong Village, Beitang Lie had cared for her meticulously and occasionally flirted with her. As a result, she could already sense what he thought of her.
It was just that although she looked very carefree and open-minded, she was actually very conservative deep down.
Pei Yao had never been in a relationship before, and she had never considered a relationship with a younger man.
Therefore, she pretended not to see the looks that Beitang Lie kept giving her.
When Chi Jiao heard Pei Yao’s words and looked at her shy expression, she fully understood what was going on.
It seemed like Pei Yao was not completely unmoved by Beitang Lie.
She dared not imagine what would happen if the two of them became a couple.
It should be quite interesting.
