The man patted his shoulder and said, "It's good that you didn't hear it. If it really was... that thing... hiss~ Why do I feel a chill? Forget it, forget it. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going back first!"

After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.

At first, no one in the village thought about it that way. They just thought that someone came to the village to cause trouble.

However, after searching around, no traces were found.

Gradually, some strange speculations began to emerge among the crowd.

The Xin family, who knew the situation, had already fallen asleep.

I got enough sleep.

When Xin Sanlang came back in the afternoon, the people in the family woke up one after another.

After a day of silence, the Xin family courtyard finally became lively again.

Xin Sanlang also brought back good news - the imperial court had begun to resettle the refugees in the county.

"Right now, the drought in the north has not eased, so the court plans to have the government escort these refugees south. Every time they arrive at a place, they will leave some behind to share the pressure on the city."

After hearing this, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

As long as there is no risk of refugees coming to their doorstep, they can still live their lives.

"Then Third Brother, have you found out why Ding Zhongming did that?"

Xin Dalang was a little worried.

After all, his son and Ding Zhongming were classmates and friends.

Ding Zhongming suddenly became so hostile towards the Xin family, so would he attack his own son?

Xin Sanlang was silent for a moment after hearing this: "Brother, I'm sorry, we didn't ask. Ding Zhongming committed suicide last night."

"what?!"

The whole family exclaimed.

Old Mrs. Xin even screamed "Oh my God!" and her face turned pale with fear.

The other people's faces didn't look good either.

Xin Sanlang said nothing more.

The whole family ate in silence.

That night, Xin Jilang stayed by the boy's side.

The next morning, before Xin Erlang woke up, he heard a painful groan:

"Mother, it hurts~ Mother, Ting'er hurts~"

Xin Erlang shuddered and immediately woke up.

He walked quickly to the boy's bed.

The young man looked pale, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his expression was very painful.

Xin Jilang quickly reached out and touched the boy's forehead.

The palm was incredibly hot.

He was startled and ran out quickly.

Old Mrs. Xin was sewing shoe soles in the yard.

He hurriedly said, "Mom, the child has a fever. I'm going to find Uncle Li. You take care of him first."

Old Lady Xin put her things down quickly and stood up: "Okay, go quickly."

Before he could finish his words, he turned around and hurried into the house.

Xin Erlang trotted all the way to Uncle Li's house and knocked on the door hurriedly:

"Uncle Li! Uncle Li! Help!"

Uncle Li had just woken up. Hearing the voice, he hurried over to open the door:

"Ji Lang, what's wrong?"

Xin Erlang quickly explained the situation:

"Uncle Li, the child has a fever. He has started talking nonsense. I don't know how I fell asleep yesterday, and I don't know how long the child has had a fever."

Xin Jilang felt a little guilty.

Uncle Li said "Ouch" and stamped his feet:

"It's a matter of human life! You...what can I say to you! Hurry up and get my medicine box!"

"Eh!"

Xin Erlang responded hurriedly and went into the house to get Uncle Li's medicine box.

Uncle Li had already hurried out and headed towards the Xin family.

Xin Jilang followed closely behind.

When we arrived at Xin's house, Old Lady Xin was wiping the child's body with a wet towel to cool him down.

But the effect is minimal.

Uncle Li hurried forward and took the boy's pulse.

After a long while, he frowned:

"The infection from the wound caused a high fever. I'm afraid it has been going on for a while. I need to reduce the fever quickly, otherwise I'm afraid I'll become a fool."

He didn't write a prescription at this time, but directly took out the medicine bags from his medicine box and asked Xin Erlang to boil the medicine.

He prepared these medicines in advance because he was worried that the child would have a fever.

Xin Erlang took the medicine and hurried out to boil it.

Uncle Li asked again: "Do you have any wine at home? It will be more effective if you use wine to cool it down."

Mrs. Xin immediately responded, "Yes, yes, yes, I'll get it right away!"

He handed the towel in his hand to Lao Li, "You do it first, I'll get it right away."

Uncle Li was not pretentious and nodded: "Yeah."

Then he took the place of Old Lady Xin, wetting the towel again and again to cool the boy down.

Even if the effect is minimal, it is better than nothing.

Old Lady Xin quickly brought over a small jar of wine.

This is the leftover wine I bought for the men in my family during the Chinese New Year.

Originally, her husband planned to drink a little occasionally to satisfy his craving.

Now there is only half a jar left.

Old Lady Xin poured the wine into a basin, took a towel, dipped it in the wine and used it to wipe the boy's body.

Xin Erlang quickly boiled the medicine and brought it in.

Several people worked together to feed the young boy a bowl of medicine.

Old Lady Xin breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh my god! This is really torture."

Uncle Li smiled:

"You can't relax now, you have to keep rubbing. You can stop only when the fever is really gone."

As soon as Mrs. Xin stopped what she was doing, she heard these words and quickly began to repeat them mechanically.

Xin Erlang took the medicine bowl out and came in and heard Uncle Li's words.

He hurried over and took the towel from her mother's hand: "Mom, I'll give it back. You go and have a rest."

Mrs. Xin didn't give him any: "Go and have a rest. You've been tired all day. I just woke up and I'm in good spirits!"

Xin Jilang was indeed sleepy.

He barely slept last night.

It was near dawn when I fell into a drowsy sleep.

Now that he felt relieved, he couldn't help but yawn loudly:

"Okay, Mom, I'm going to sleep first. Call me if you need anything."

Old Lady Xin waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."

Not long after Xin Erlang left, Xin Dalang also came over to take a look.

Knowing that the boy had a fever, I felt a little sad for a moment.

But after hearing Uncle Li say that this was a normal situation, Xin Dalang felt relieved.

After that, the adults in the family would come over to check on us from time to time.

Xin Dalang also replaced Old Lady Xin.

After more than an hour, the boy's fever finally began to subside.

The whole family breathed a sigh of relief.

Send Uncle Li back.

In the next few days, the Xin family took turns to take care of the boy, feeding him medicine and wiping his body.

The boy's wounds were also dressed every day.

However, the boy never woke up.

He often called out "Mother" in his dreams, which made the Xin family terrified.

The only people in this world who can be called "Mother" are the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother.

The only ones who could call these two "Queen Mother" were either the emperor, princes or the princes.

Each one of them clearly carries the status of a royal family.

But the Xin family did not send the young boy away.

Just be more cautious.

Even if there are guests at home, they will never let them discover the presence of the young boy.

Just like that, more than half a month has passed and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.

All the refugees in the county were taken away.

Those who did not take them away were distributed to various villages.

Several families from Xiayan Village also came.

On this day, the boy who had been in a coma finally woke up.
