504. The ninth day(1/2)
When the snow-white dumpling was seen, the whole family's eyes lit up. Although I don't know if it is useful, I am prepared for it.
Qingting let go, the little ferret jumped to the ground, and turned around a little dizzy. Finally, he saw Su Mo standing at the door. His eyes lit up, and he ran over as if he was flying. He bit his clothes, as if he was saying hello to him, very intimate.
Qingyun and Qingting spent a lot of effort to find this little thing. Fortunately, the weather was getting colder, and the little ferret was in the mountains not far from Wan'an City, but it was not very familiar with Qingyun and Qingting. At the beginning, it found that the little thing ran away quickly and disappeared, and was unwilling to come back with it. After all, it has always been very personal and always comes whenever you want to come and leave when you want to.
So Qingyun and Qingting found the little ferret three days ago, but it was not until last night that they finally set up a trap with food temptations to catch it. Qingyun was almost scratched. The two were in a mess because they fought wits and courage in the mountains and thumped everywhere.
However, after being caught, the little thing gave up resisting and stopped running away. He knew Qingyun and Qingting clearly, and knew that they and Su Mo were from the family, so he followed them back obediently.
Su Mo leaned over and picked up the little ferret. The little guy lay lazily in his arms and shook his tail comfortably.
A ball of silver-gray shadow ran into Guanlan Courtyard. The little ferret glanced at it and lowered his head, as if he was disgusted.
"Little Huihui is back too!" Rong Yuanshun picked up the little gray wolf. In the past six months, its size was much bigger than the little ferret. The little gray wolf was originally a pet raised by Qingjue's daughter Qingmei. Later, Qingmei was removed, and the little gray wolf kept chasing Yuanbao. Kaichun and the two little guys also left together. Yuanbao was brought back, and the little gray wolf also ran back.
Su Mo stroked Yuanbao's head and Yuanbao's tail shook again, but it didn't know that Su Mo rarely gets close to it, but in fact he wants to release its blood next.
Su Mo entered the room with Yuanbao in his arms. The little gray wolf broke free from Rong Yuanshun and ran into Yuanqiu's room.
Su Yan lay motionless on the ground in the yard. Everyone was waiting for an hour to see if she would vomit blood again.
Chu Chu put his arms around Rong Lan's shoulder and asked her to go to the medicine warehouse to sit and rest.
Rong Lan actually wanted to accompany Yuan Qiu, but when she thought of Su Mo being there, she went to the medicine warehouse with Chu Chu.
The little ferret ran to the bed and jumped onto the bed flexibly. Seeing that Yuan Qiu was lying still, he seemed a little confused and rubbed Yuan Qiu's hand.
The little gray wolf also wanted to jump onto the bed, but Su Mo kicked it back to the ground because it was not small anymore, and it would definitely push Yuan Qiu on it if it went up...
The little gray wolf who was treated differently was very injured and lay silently beside the bed. Seeing Su Mo looking over, she got up again, walked away from Su Mo a little farther away, and lay down again...
Seeing that Yuan Qiu was still moving, the little ferret thought she was asleep, so he nestled on the inside of the bed as before and found the most comfortable place to sleep.
Su Mo didn't care about it, just held Yuan Qiu's hand, sat quietly beside the bed, looking at her intently.
This hour is really a bit long for the Rong family.
"Why haven't you arrived yet?" the ghost Taoist asked anxiously.
"It's almost done." Jun Lingyue replied.
The ghost Taoist sighed repeatedly, "Prepare the Nine-Turn Pill. If the situation is wrong, give Su Yan that bitch to see if it is useful!"
Mrs. Xin said with a stern face, "It's ready."
If Su Yan was awake at this moment, she would be very "touched".
But the ghost Taoist and Mrs. Xin arranged this way, of course, not to save Su Yan, but to test how to save Yuan Qiu. In the event of an unexpected situation in the antidote, they would never watch Yuan Qiu die and must do everything they could. Although the Nine-Turn Pill cannot relieve the Broken Heart Sphere, it may be useful to extend your life at critical moments.
In the past ten days, Yuan Qiu has not taken the Nine-Turn Pill, because he is afraid that he will not be able to detoxify the poison and make the poison in her body more complicated. But when it is really critical, he doesn't care about so much.
Finally, an hour came, and everyone's eyes were focused on Su Yan.
After staring at her for a while, she did not vomit blood, and after a while, she still didn't.
"It's a good omen." Liu Zhong's brows stretched a little.
Mrs. Xin went to take Su Yan's pulse again, and it took a while. The ghost Taoist urged him, "What's going on?"
Mrs. Xin frowned and shook her head, letting You Wu see.
You Wu had seen it, and frowned, letting Jun Lingyue see it.
After watching Bai Lan and Liu Zhong in the end, they could not confirm whether Su Yan's Duancao San had been resolved because her pulse was very messy.
"Since you haven't vomited blood, why don't you try it with the ferret's blood?" Mrs. Xin suggested.
The ghost Taoist shook his head, "Don't use it for the time being! Look again! The ghost girl knew that Su Mo was looking for a ferret, but she did not mention adding the ferret's blood into the prescription!"
The ghost Taoist once raised a ferret, but it was killed because it was taken too frequently. He knew that the blood of ferrets could detoxify, but not all poisons could be used. If it was used incorrectly, it might add poison to the poison.
"Then let's wait for another hour?" Mrs. Xin asked the ghost Taoist.
The ghost Taoist nodded, "Wait for another hour!"
Yuan Qiu was in a coma, and the detoxification matter was naturally decided by the ghost Taoist. He asked him to prepare the Nine-Turn Pill, but he did not allow him to use the ferret's blood immediately, and he had his own reasons.
Afraid that Su Yan's body was affected by cold, the ghost Taoist asked him to drag her into the medicine warehouse and put her in. As for the poison Lu Zhe gave Su Yan, there was no need to worry about it.
After hearing from the ghost Taoist, he wanted to observe that it was dark, Jun Lingyue advised everyone to go back and eat some hot food before coming over. She had asked Hongling to prepare a meal.
"Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. If it goes well, Qiu'er might be fine at night. When she wakes up, don't look at us all looking haggard." Jun Lingyue couldn't persuade him and mentioned Yuan Qiu again.
In the end, Jun Lingyue had no choice but to ask Hongling to bring the prepared hot soup and give everyone a bowl.
Before another hour had arrived, Su Yan woke up and began to scratch her skin frantically because the poison Lu Zhe had stolen her was attacking again.
Chu Chu ordered Su Yan to tie her to a chair. Her left hand, which had been broken by Chu Chu three days ago and her right hand that had no problem, were all fixed behind her, and she could not relieve the itch on her body. She seemed crazy, cursing and saying dirty words.
Duan Rong asked if she would knock her out again, and Rong Lan said let her wake up.
Rong Lan looked at Su Yan struggling in pain not far away, life was worse than death. Compared with the pain that Yuan Qiu encountered, Rong Lan felt that the revenge of Su Yan was far from enough. The most urgent task was to try the medicine first and save Yuan Qiu. When Yuan Qiu was fine, she must let Su Yan know with her own hands what the consequences would be if she bullied her daughter!
Su Yan was scolding, unable to bear it, and began to cry and beg for mercy, "I was wrong... Give me an antidote... I will never dare again... Please..."
Rong Lan said, "Su Yan, are you begging me?"
When Su Yan heard this, there was a moment of Qingming. Seeing Rong Lan leaning against Chu Chu, her eyes became resentful and cold again, "I beg you... to die! You bitch! Bitch!"
Lu Zhe walked in and stuffed a ball of cloth into Su Yan's mouth expressionlessly. She whimpered, and even the only channel that could relieve the torment of her body by venting her attention was blocked. She was trembling all over and her face was distorted to the extreme.
Finally, another long time passed.
It was confirmed that Su Yan still did not vomit blood. The ghost Taoist breathed a sigh of relief, "The prescription left by the ghost girl seems to be really useful! You go and see her pulse again!"
A few people who know how to deal with medicine and poison took turns to give Su Yan a pulse, which can confirm that Su Yan's pulse has improved again, but Duancao San seems to have not been completely relieved.
"Master, are you still waiting?" You Wu asked the ghost Taoist worriedly. Su Yan had only been poisoned for three days, but Yuan Qiu was almost over. If he didn't take the antidote, some of the damage might be difficult to heal.
The ghost Taoist frowned. It seems that the antidote left by Yuan Qiu in the end is useful, but I am afraid that something unexpected will happen and the person will be gone. Because Yuan Qiu tried medicine many times before, those death row prisoners died like this.
But Yuan Qiu really can't wait any longer. The ghost Taoist knows best what Yuan Qiu will become after ten days. In fact, those who were once heartbroken by the ghost Taoist, without exception, chose to break themselves on the eleventh day because it was too painful, and it was better to die than to live.
The ghost Taoist hesitated for a while and patted the table, "Wait until dark! If Su Yan hasn't vomited blood and his pulse has improved again, I'll give the ghost girl the antidote!"
It was gloomy all day, and in the evening, it turned out to clear. The setting sun in the west was like blood and the sunset glow was magnificent.
The people of Wan'an City who were worried that they might not see the moon tonight were relieved now, but during the day, the news spread in the city that the third princess Yuan Qiu had a strange disease and might not be able to do so. It was even more sad that no one from the Rong family went out all day.
Someone from the Meng family, Qi family, Zhu family and Ming family came to send Mid-Autumn Festival gifts one after another, but they were sent away, saying that the family was fine so that they didn't have to worry. But in fact, these families had a good relationship with the Rong family, and had long known that something happened to Yuan Qiu. It was not a strange disease, but a severe poison. Even she herself might not be able to detoxify, and there was no time left.
The old lady of the Meng family sent someone to send mooncakes and pastries, as well as a pair of shoes she made for Yuan Qiu with embroidered scriptures praying for peace and longevity, which was quite attentive.
Seeing that it was almost night, Mrs. Xin took Su Yan's pulse again. It was indeed improving, but it was not as soon as they expected that the poison had been completely eliminated. It is still risky to use it for Yuan Qiu now.
"Master..." Mrs. Xin asked the ghost Taoist again.
The ghost Taoist asked Rong Lan, "Your daughter, come and make a decision."
It’s not that the ghost Taoist wants to shirk responsibility. He has said that if Yuan Qiu died because of heartbreak, he would be buried with Yuan Qiu, and he would never go back on his word. But at a critical moment, the ghost Taoist wants Rong Lan to know whether this medicine can really save Yuan Qiu, and no one dares to promise now.
Rong Lan took the medicine bottle handed over by Mrs. Xin, clenched it in her hand, got up and left the medicine warehouse, entered the room of Su Mo and Yuanqiu, and Chu Chu followed her silently behind her. Others who had been guarding Guanlan Courtyard for a day also gathered.
"Amo." Su Yan handed the antidote to Su Mo and said nothing. The medicine bank was right next to him, and Su Mo knew the current situation.
Su Mo took it, poured out the medicine inside, and held it in his hand, saying as if he was comforting himself, "This is the prescription Qiu'er said in person, we should believe her."
After saying that, Su Mo took a deep breath, fed the medicine to Yuan Qiu, and gave her a few more mouthfuls of warm water.
Then, Su Mo and Rong Lan were both beside the bed, looking at Yuan Qiu with a nervous expression. Su Mo was holding a Nine-Turn Pill in his hand, intending to eat Yuan Qiu immediately when he saw that the situation was not good.
Although Su Yan tested the medicine, Su Yan had only been poisoned for three days, and Yuan Qiu had been poisoned for nearly ten days, so they could not feel relieved.
Mrs. Xin, You Wu and Liu Zhong were also guarding the bedside, taking the veins for Yuan Qiu, and paying attention to her situation at all times.
"Mom, Master Huiming is here." Rong Yuancheng, who was standing at the door, said.
Rong Lan was stunned for a moment. Someone gave in and Master Huiming had already walked in.
The room was lit, and the flowers were illuminated. On the windowsill were the flowers that Rong Yuanshun picked this morning. On the table was an antique white porcelain plate with colorful fallen leaves on it and a large red pomegranate in the middle, adding a touch of color to the room.
Master Huiming walked up and saw Yuan Qiu. He clasped his hands together and recited "Amitabha".
"Master..." Rong Lan knew that Master Huiming had always admired Yuan Qiu very much, so he must have cared about Yuan Qiu and came here in person.
Master Huiming sighed slightly, "I can't help anything, I'm here to recite scriptures and pray for the third princess."
"Thank you, Master." Rong Lan said with red eyes.
The tense and depressing atmosphere in the room did not slow down much because of Master Huiming's voice reciting scriptures, and Yuan Qiu's expression did not improve significantly.
Rong Yuanshun leaned against Rong Yuancheng and sobbed quietly, "Brother... I'm so afraid that my sister will die..."
Rong Yuancheng didn't say anything, hugged Rong Yuanshun, and the way she looked when she first saw Yuan Qiu appeared in her mind. It's been a long time, but everything seemed to have happened yesterday. She was like a gentle and firm warm wind that dispelled the haze in each of them and made their lives undergo a major turning point. No matter how big the storm is, the hearts of the family are always together, making the family stronger and more stable.
Yuan Qiu is the backbone of the Rong family. No one can bear the consequences of losing her. That is a devastating blow to Su Mo and Rong Lan. For others, they feel heartbroken when they think about it.
A full moon penetrates the clouds and sprinkles bright silver light.
Every household has prepared mooncakes and pastries, and reunites together to worship the moon god. Unlike previous years, many people in Wan'an City did not forget to pray for Yuan Qiu when they worship the moon god this year, hoping that she would be safe, because many people have received her favors.
The moon is in the sky.
Jun Lingyue also arranged cakes and foods to worship the moon god in the viewing pavilion, praying devoutly to God to bless Yuan Qiuping to safely survive this disaster.
