"They held torches, cheered, danced, and sang songs I couldn't understand around me. Then, a cold voice said, 'Time's up!'"

"Someone thrust a torch into my heart, someone cut open my stomach with a knife, and someone else bled me out bit by bit. It was so painful."

"It hurts so much, Mom!" Luo Chi said this with tears in the corners of his eyes, as if he was really immersed in a nightmare.

Mrs. Luo felt so distressed that she quickly hugged the child tightly.

"That cold voice said, 'It's a good one!' Just as he finished speaking, the man moved. He opened his mouth, a bloody maw, and bit my ear right off."

"The bloody ear was in his mouth, and the man was chewing it and laughing."

"I felt cold all over and I felt like I was going to die, and suddenly, those people, those people took off their masks."

"The man who ate my ear, that man, is, is - father."

Luo Chi's eyes were full of fear and despair.

"how come?"

Mrs. Luo was shocked. Did she dream about her husband?

Her husband is gentle and elegant, so why does he appear like this in the child's dream?

Mrs. Luo didn't understand what was going on.

Doctor Chen and Fang Nanzhi also looked at each other. The former was really unaware of the situation, while the latter was surprised by Master Luo's acting skills.

They didn't plan this at the beginning.

When Fang Nanzhi came out of Luo's house and collected the medical fee, he felt a little embarrassed.

In the end, I accepted it and will treat Young Master Luo to a meal later.

Before the two of them had gone far, the Sima family's carriage arrived.

Sima Che also fell ill.

Similar symptoms: nightmares, cough, physical weakness, and eczema.

The difference is that in Sima Che's nightmare, his biological father dug out his heart and ate it.

Even more terrifying than Luo Chi's.

But Fang Nanzhi and Doctor Chen still couldn't find the cause of the disease.

Afterwards, the families of several other teenagers also hired people.

Fang Nanzhi and his friends ran around for a whole day, left behind similar prescriptions, and left with regret.

Doctor Chen stretched his arms and legs, and it was obvious that he was quite exhausted.

"These young people are all sick and very strange. I'm too old to deal with them anymore."

"In the future, if you come to invite us again, why not ask Doctor Fang to bring my eldest son here to broaden his horizons?"

Fang Nanzhi agreed without much thought.

Doctor Chen smiled and said inexplicably, "Young Doctor, you need to be more cautious and not reveal your true identity."

Fang Nanzhi turned her head and met his gaze, and immediately knew what Doctor Chen had guessed.

No wonder he didn't want to get involved and instead pushed his son out.

She smiled and said, "Thank you, Doctor Chen, for reminding me."

Neither of them said anything more and just strolled back.

It got dark quickly, and it was pitch black in the blink of an eye. A crescent moon hung high in the sky, and the cold moonlight illuminated the world.

Fang Nanzhi looked up for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Uncle Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Miss, you're back. Why don't you go into the inn and rest?"

Aren’t you tired after running around all day?

Fang Nanzhi came back to his senses: "Don't worry, the moonlight is just right, why not enjoy it for a bit."

Uncle Yuan looked up at the night sky, but couldn't figure out what was going on.

He has lived for decades, hasn't it always been like this?

But he didn't disturb his master's interest and went to talk to the waiter of the inn.

The waiter brought out a table and some stools and placed them directly outside the inn.

"Miss, since you are interested, let's eat outside." Uncle Yuan was very thoughtful.

He only ordered two or three side dishes and a large bowl of rice.

Anmei came back from outside with several things in her hands.

"Why did you put the table outside?" She asked in confusion, then smiled and said, "Miss, I've bought everything you wanted on your list. Not only that, I also bought some new things I saw on the way."

Fang Nanzhi finally came back to her senses and said happily, "Okay, okay. Thank you for your hard work."

What she asked Anmei to buy were various special snacks.

For example, cooling tonic, plum drink, roasted taro, etc.

The master, his servant and his two companions sat under the night sky and feasted heartily.

After eating and drinking, Fang Nanzhi found a book, read it for a while, and then started to copy it.

That's right, she came out to study and also brought some schoolwork with her.

In addition to her schoolwork, she also has to write travel notes. Alas, Mr. Zheng doesn't want her to waste any time.

By the time she was done, half of the shops on the street had closed.

The patrolling yamen runner had passed by twice and looked at her with a little surprise.

Fang Nanzhi smiled at them and turned back.

The waiter then moved the table back, put up the door, and closed the shop.

"It might rain tomorrow." Fang Nanzhi played with flower petals while taking a bath.

It was all Anmei's fault. She doesn't usually take such a delicate bath even at home.

"That's not suitable for playing, but it's suitable to rent a small boat on the river and go boating for a day?" Anmei has always been smart and can guess what the young lady is thinking.

Fang Nanzhi clapped his hands: "That's a good idea!"

"It would be even more pleasant if someone could play the piano and compose music."

Anmei added some hot water to her tub and said with a smile, "So, Miss, do you want to hire a musician?"

Fang Nanzhi shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, it's too extravagant."

Well, she was reluctant to spend money again.

Anmei didn't force it.

After the maid went to bed, she blew out the oil lamp and went to bed as well.

The next day, Fang Nanzhi packed some snacks, side dishes and drinks at the inn, and took Anmei and Yuan Bo to take a boat trip on the lake.

Although it was raining, it was a light drizzle and the river water did not fluctuate, so it was still safe to go boating.

They were very comfortable, but the people from the Luo and Sima families felt as uncomfortable as if they were being roasted by fire.

"Master, you are back!"

At the gate of Luo's house, a carriage stopped and the door opened. Mrs. Luo walked forward in small steps, with a maid holding an umbrella for her behind her.

"What's going on? Chi'er has always been in good health. How have you taken care of the child?" County Magistrate Luo had a dark complexion and was in a bad mood, appearing even more serious.

"Master, you are wronging me. Chi'er is also my son. Do I want him to get sick?"

As soon as they met, she was questioned and Mrs. Luo was unhappy.

She lives in Puliu Town, teaching her children and serving her parents-in-law every day. Although she has no merits, she works hard. However, her husband is cold-hearted and cannot see her good side at all.

County Magistrate Luo was too lazy to reason with the woman.

He was in the county town, busy with official duties, but his home was still in turmoil and his child was sick.

He called a doctor back from the county town.

Several people entered the yard together.

"Doctor Miao, it all depends on you!"

Magistrate Luo felt distressed when he saw his son lying on the couch with a haggard face and thin body.

In fact, his thin figure is purely a dad filter.

Luo Chi had just fallen ill. Although he tried hard to pretend that he had no appetite every day, he still couldn't help eating most of it.
