From Lu Mingxi's intermittent crying, Lu Ke'er understood the whole story.

It turned out that when Lu Mingxi was halfway on the road with the jar of chrysanthemum honey tea, he met a few children in the village. One of them was called Niu Wazi, who was seven or eight years old and looked very strong, like a calf. He snatched the chrysanthemum honey tea from Lu Mingxi's hand.

"Why is this arrogant boy so overbearing?" Lu Ke'er was very angry.

Some children in rural areas are really unreasonable.

"Woo, woo, he heard that our family... woo, woo, our family once gave Shuanzhu's mother a bottle of cough ointment, and Shuanzhu's mother felt much better after taking it. Niu Wazi said that his father also had a bad cough and asked me for the ointment. I said I didn't have any, and he didn't believe me, saying that I was holding the ointment but didn't give it to him. I said it wasn't ointment, but tea, and he didn't believe me and insisted on snatching it to have a look... woo, woo, and the jar fell to the ground and broke... woo..."

"Meow meow meow..." the little kid next to him called out anxiously.

Master, Master, that little guy bullied Xiaoxi, and I rushed over to scare him, so he was frightened and broke the jar in his hand. Master, if you hadn't told me not to hurt anyone, I would have bitten off a piece of his flesh long ago.

Lu Ke'er's eyebrows twitched.

Fortunately, Xiaopa knew his limits. Otherwise, if he really let it bite off a piece of flesh from the child, wouldn't the child's parents go after the Lu family?

"Okay, okay, don't cry. It's just a can of tea." Lu Ke'er hugged the little kid and whispered softly to comfort him.

"Wow, that was all made by my sister, and I couldn't even bear to drink a sip." The more Xiaoxi thought about it, the sadder she became, and she cried even louder.

Lu Keer is troubled.

She really doesn't know how to coax children.

"Let me do it." Ye Feng, who was beside him, held Lu Mingxi in his arms, took out a snow-white silk scarf, wiped Xiaoxi's tears, and persuaded her gently, "Didn't Xiaoxi always say that big brother is good-looking? Do you know why?"

"Why...why?" Xiaoxi asked while sobbing.

"Because big brother is not as fond of crying as Xiaoxi." Ye Feng laughed, "Look, when he cries, his little face becomes wrinkled, and his big eyes become red and swollen, squeezed into a slit. Don't you think it's ugly?"

The little boy thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he tried to hold back his tears.

"Ah, look, now that you've stopped crying, you've become that lovely and pretty Xiaoxi again." Ye Feng touched his little face and praised, "Xiaoxi is a brave child. Let your sister make you something delicious later."

Lu Mingxi finally stopped crying, and Lu Ke'er breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the sound of a child crying and a woman cursing was heard outside the gate. Then, the gate was pushed open, and a woman in her thirties with a round face walked in pulling a crying boy.

Lu Ke'er recognized them; they were Niu Wazi and his mother.

"Ke'er, I'm so sorry. My naughty kid actually stole your Xiaoxi's things! When I found out, I gave him a good beating at home."

She turned around and glared at Niu Wazi, shouting, "Quick, apologize to Xiao Xi!"

There was an obvious slap mark on Niu Wazi's face and several blue and red bruises on his arms, which showed how hard his mother had beaten him.

He stood there stubbornly, his face covered with tears, but he did not apologize.

"You... you kid, what's wrong with you? Do you think you're justified in stealing other people's things? Apologize!" Niu Wazi's mother pushed him and urged him. But Niu Wazi was so angry that he didn't say a word.

"You kid, you kid..." Niu Wazi's mother was angry and ashamed, her eyes were red, and she reached out to hit him.

Lu Ke'er hurriedly stopped her and sighed, "Auntie, stop beating him. He is still a child. If there is anything wrong with the child, let's talk to him properly. Niu Wazi is a reasonable child, he will listen."

Niu Wazi blinked his tears and looked at her.

Lu Ke'er bent down, touched Niu Wazi's head, and said softly, "I just heard from Xiao Xi that your father is sick?"

Niu Wazi nodded.

Niu Wazi's mother started to cry: "Ke'er, I didn't want to bother you with this. His father has been coughing since he came back from town two days ago. He couldn't sleep well at night and lost a lot of weight... Niu Wazi heard that Shuanzhu's mother ate the ointment you made, and not only did she stop coughing, but her body also got better. He also wanted to come to your house to ask for the ointment, but I scolded him. I didn't expect that today, I didn't keep a close eye on him, and this kid got into trouble. It's all because I didn't teach him well, Ke'er, don't be angry with him."

Lu Ke'er knew Niu Wa's father, an honest man who often went to Jinji Town to do temporary work for others. Sometimes he delivered goods, sometimes he carried stones, and sometimes he helped people dig foundations and build houses... all of which were physical work.

There is little land suitable for growing crops in Lingxia Village, and only a few people can support their families by hunting or picking herbs in the mountains. Most villagers choose to work as temporary workers in nearby towns.

Lu Ke'er sighed: "In this case, Niu Wazi is also a filial child. However, although the symptoms are all coughing, the causes may be different. Auntie, has Uncle Niu seen a doctor?"

Niu Wa's mother wiped the tears from her eyes and said with a worried look on her face: "Doctor Chen from the village came to see me and prescribed a few doses of cough medicine, but it didn't work at all."

Doctor Chen is the only doctor in the village. Although he is called a doctor, he is actually just a local doctor who can only treat minor injuries and illnesses. He is helpless when it comes to serious illnesses and difficult and complicated diseases.

Lu Ke'er thought about it, raised her eyes and looked at her: "If you trust me, I can go see Uncle Niu."

"You?" Niu Wa's mother was shocked.

I've never heard that Lu Ke'er knows medical skills.

"Mom, let Sister Ke'er take a look at Dad. I heard from Sister Dongling that Ke'er's medical skills are amazing. Some time ago, she not only saved a little brother who was bitten by a poisonous snake, but also saved the son of the owner of Pinxianlou who was almost choked to death while eating."

Niu Wazi knelt down in front of Lu Ke'er and kowtowed to her several times, tears in his eyes: "Sister Ke'er, I shouldn't have taken Xiaoxi's things! I was wrong! You can beat me and scold me however you want, but please help my dad!"

The noise from the Lu family attracted Ma Dani from next door.

She grabbed a handful of melon seeds and leaned against the gate of the Lu family's courtyard, cracking them while sneering, "Niu Wa's mother, how can you listen to your Niu Wa's nonsense? Don't we know what's in this little girl Lu Ke'er's belly? If she can cure diseases, I'll write my name Ma Dani backwards!"

When Ye Feng heard this, his face darkened slightly and his cold eyes swept towards her.

Ma Dani froze when she was met with two cold gazes.

She and Jinfeng had talked about this beautiful boy a lot at home. Every time she mentioned this boy named Xiao, her daughter Jinfeng was obsessed. She was jealous of Lu Keer's good luck to be related to such a boy. And how could she feel comfortable in her heart?

You can tell at first glance that this young man is not an ordinary person.

How could the Lu family deserve to have such relatives?
