Country Maiden: Fields and Fortune

Chapter 494: Chapter 494, Providing Medical Treatment (2 more updates)

Xie Zhinuan went to change her clothes, not because they were smelly like before, but because they weren’t quite suitable.

As the water was being poured into the tub, Xie Zhinuan dared not ask for a large wooden tub; instead, she had Qin Yu help her remove all her clothes and trousers and place Qin Mao in the tub.

The temperature of the water was just right.

When Mu Rourou saw that clothes and trousers were to be removed, even as a child, her face turned beet red with embarrassment, and she turned and ran away thump thump thump.

Xie Zhinuan watched, unable to help but laugh at the situation.

She asked Dugu Zhen to come forward to help, guiding her on where to press the acupoints, kneading the hands and feet of Qin Mao.

...

She was still not sure about the acupoints, but Dugu Zhen taught her seriously, pointing them out one by one to Xie Zhinuan, who kneaded earnestly, sweating profusely without saying a word.

Someone glanced in from the doorway and was also captivated by Xie Zhinuan at that moment.

It was one thing to be beautiful, but this kind of spirit in a medical practitioner was even more admirable.

Even though Zhao Xiuya and Qin Yu were too tired to continue, Xie Zhinuan still persisted, changing more than a dozen buckets of water.

When the water in the tank was gone, without waiting for Xie Zhinuan to say anything, the guards had already gone to the village to fill the tank with water until the water from the bucket was no longer murky black, and only when it came out clean and Qin Mao’s body was wrinkled from soaking did Xie Zhinuan let him be wrapped in a bedsheet and put him to sleep on the bed.

Sitting in a chair, she let out a sigh.

“Miss, have some water,” said Aunt Chen, handing her a cup.

Xie Zhinuan glanced at the sky and realized it was already dawn.

She had been busy all night.

“Yes, it’s dawn. You must be exhausted, miss. The kitchen has already heated up some water. Go wash up, have something to eat, and then get some sleep. I’ll watch over this side!”

“Mhm, alright!” Xie Zhinuan did not object.

She went to wash up quickly, ate a few mouthfuls of porridge, instructed Zhao Xiuya to coax Qin Mao into drinking some rice soup, and told her to rest well before she went upstairs.

As soon as she went up, Xie Yi stood at the door, looking at her with a pitiful expression.

Another person’s son, no matter how dear, is still another person’s son, but this was her own son. She picked him up and soothed him, “Go have breakfast with Grandfather, and then come back to sleep with Mommy, okay?”

“Mhm, okay!” Xie Yi obediently left.

After a night of commotion, what was the person they had saved like now?

Yawning, Xie Zhinuan entered the room and quickly fell asleep on the bed.

Her sleep pattern was normally very regular, with early to bed and early to rise. Having been busy all of last night, she was extremely tired and could not sneak into her space, lest someone come in and discover her.

She simply endured it.

Downstairs

Dugu Zhen had also stood watch for half the night and now got up to check on Qin Mao.

Seeing the boy’s face was still pale but his complexion visibly better, Dugu Zhen took his pulse and startled himself.

Last night, the boy was barely clinging to life with not much time left, but after Xie Zhinuan’s all-night efforts, today his pulse was much stronger, and he was filled with vitality.

There was still a slight residue of poison in his body, but he was definitely better.

All in all, any person looking at the boy would not believe that he had been at death’s door just yesterday and had been pulled back today.

Dugu Zhen then pried open his mouth to look, and the ulcers had healed a lot, his throat was no longer swollen, and his breathing had become smoother.

Perhaps he was sleeping peacefully because it was rare for his body not to ache.

Messing with him like this, he still hadn’t woken up.

“The child is doing well. You all can rest now. Everything will get better,” Dugu Zhen patted Qin Yu’s shoulder.

Hearing this, Qin Yu quickly nodded.

At last, at last, there was some good news.

No longer did they have to live in constant fear, worrying that a single misstep could cost the child’s life.

He was afraid, and so was his wife; hence, the child’s side was never without someone watching over.
