Chapter 89 - 89 A Little Strange
89 A Little Strange
Shen Dashan, who was digging the earthworms excitedly, was shocked when he heard Ji Zhao suddenly speak so loudly. The earthworms that he had painstakingly dug out fell!
“Ah Tao? What are you doing?” Shen Dashan frowned unhappily and asked in a low voice.
“Father, I…” Ji Zhao hurriedly bit the tip of her tongue. It was so painful that she sucked in a breath of cold air. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she staggered and almost fell to the ground!
If Shen Yao had not arrived in time and caught her, she would have fallen.
“This? What’s going on?” Shen Dashan scratched his head and looked confused.
“Shen Yao, I suddenly feel very unwell…” Ji Zhao had an idea. She grabbed the front of Shen Yao’s shirt tightly with both hands and pretended to be out of breath.
“Let’s go to the county to see a physician now!”
“What about Father? Can Father come with us? Just in case?” Ji Zhao, who was swaying, looked at the confused Shen Dashan with a pleading expression and asked softly.
“But I made plans with Brother Da Zhuang to go fishing in Xiaji Village,” Shen Dashan said awkwardly.
“What’s there to fish for!” Zhao Lanhua hurriedly walked in front of them and said without a word, “Don’t you see how ugly Ah Tao’s expression is? How much pain is she in? Don’t delay! Go to the village entrance and catch a cart now. Come back early!”
In the end, the Shen father and son pair accompanied Ji Zhao into the city.
Benevolent Medicine Hall.
The physician who was taking Ji Zhao’s pulse frowned and sighed at times. His face was as dark as ink.
Shen Yao, who was guarding at the side, was as anxious as an ant being roasted over a fire.
“Physician, how’s my little daughter-in-law? Is she alright?” Shen Dashan said calmly, “This child injured her head not long ago. She still has a headache now. Did she not get better before?”
“No.” The physician retracted his hand that was checking her pulse. His eyes were like torches. “This lady’s pulse is stable. I think her body is fine.”
“Then why does she have a headache?”
The physician shook his head. “I’ve been a physician for decades, but I’ve never seen such a condition. THe pulse is normal, but the head hurts badly?”
“I think… it doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Her lie was about to be exposed. Ji Zhao shrugged guiltily and forced a smile. “It really doesn’t hurt anymore.”
“Ah Tao, are you really alright?” Shen Yao asked with concern, his deep eyes filled with worry.
Ji Zhao shook her head obediently. “It really doesn’t hurt anymore, but I’m a little hungry now.”
“Shall the three of us go home?” Shen Dashan carefully observed Ji Zhao’s expression. After confirming that she was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief. “If we rush back now, I should still have time to find Brother Da Zhuang. Tonight, you will definitely be able to drink fish soup!”
“Father, I want to eat chicken soup wontons at the fork in the road ahead,” Ji Zhao hurriedly begged. “I really want to eat them. Can you accompany us?”
Shen Dashan was extremely helpless, but when he thought of Zhao Lanhua’s repeated reminders before he left, he could only nod.
Fifteen minutes later, the three of them sat down. In front of each of them was a bowl of fragrant and steaming hot chicken soup wontons.
Ji Zhao took a bite of the wonton. The hot soup landed on the tip of her tongue, causing her to cry in pain.
“Ah Tao? Are you alright?” Shen Yao also noticed that Ji Zhao was a little strange today.
“No, it’s nothing.” Ji Zhao quickly waved her hand and explained with a smile, “It’s hot~”
