Ruibao felt the movement beside the bed and called out "Mom" in a daze, but he was still not awake.

Bai Zhizhi held back the tears in her eyes, quickly took out the wooden box containing the silver, and opened the door.

In the yard, except for the children, everyone else got up early.

Smoke was already rising from the kitchen.

Zhou Changjiang was feeding grass to the cows, Zhou Changhe was putting the quilt on the ox cart, Qian was tidying up the carriage, and he did not forget to ask his second son to get something.

The others were not idle either, they were all busy.

Bai Zhizhi felt her eyes getting a little hot. She forced a smile at them and walked into the house.

"Don't be afraid, Ruibao. Mother will take you to see a doctor right away."

When Bai Zhizhi carried Ruibao out, the family had already packed the ox cart, and even breakfast was packed and placed on the cart.

"Third son's wife, stop standing there and get on the ox cart."

Bai Zhizhi didn't act pretentiously. She handed Ruibao to her mother-in-law's arms and quickly climbed up.

Seeing that the work was done, Zhou Changjiang did not delay any longer. He waved the whip and started driving the cart as fast as he could.

Qian had already packed the carriage neatly, not only laying out the quilts but also placing various other things.

After Bai Zhizhi finished her work, she wanted to take Ruibao over, but Qian dodged her.

"You've been guarding my bed all night, you must be exhausted. The food is still hot, so hurry up and eat a few bites. You still have a long time to live, don't overwork yourself."

She and the old man didn't sleep well last night. They were always worried about Ruibao. Every time they opened their eyes, they could see the light on in the third room. This mountain wife must have stayed up all night.

"Thank you, mother."

Bai Zhizhi thanked him in a low voice, no longer refused, ate a little, and began to look at Ruibao with concern.

Zhou Changjiang knew the seriousness of the matter, so he did not delay at all on the road. He waved the whip and drove the ox cart as fast as possible. He did not dare to stop to catch his breath until he arrived at the clinic.

"Mother, Third Brother's wife, we're at the clinic."

Hearing what her elder brother said, Bai Zhizhi immediately lifted the curtain and jumped off the ox cart.

He took Ruibao from Qian's arms and ran straight to the clinic without any delay.

"Slow down, slow down."

Qian shouted as she chased after him, her movements not slowing down at all.

They arrived early, and there weren't many people in the clinic. Even the doctor on duty hadn't arrived yet.

Their shouting quickly attracted the cleaning staff in the clinic.

"What are you doing? You're making such a fuss so early in the morning. What do you think of our clinic?"

Bai Zhizhi was so anxious that she had no time to talk to him. She just kept looking around, hoping that someone would come to see Ruibao.

Qian gasped and apologized awkwardly, "Don't be angry, little brother. It's just that my child is very sick and I'm so worried as a mother. I was a little anxious for a moment."

When he heard that the child was sick, the man's face looked better. He took two quick steps and glanced at Ruibao's face. "Wait a minute, I'll go get the doctor."

Although he was just a clerk in the clinic, he had learned a lot from his surroundings and could tell whether someone was really sick and how serious the illness was.

The kid doesn't look very well.

The doctor came quickly. He was a very young man.

When he saw the person holding the child, he was obviously stunned and the expression on his face became a little ugly.

"What's wrong with the child?"

Bai Zhizhi didn't notice the disgust in his tone, and just anxiously told him about Ruibao's situation.

"He became like this after returning from the academy. He started with a high fever. I saw a doctor and took medicine. The fever went away, but he has not woken up yet. Doctor, please take a look."

Bai Zhizhi said this as she walked the child towards the young doctor.

The doctor subconsciously took a step back, his expression becoming even uglier, and his tone becoming even colder, "Put the child down first."

"Madam, we have a cot in the clinic. You can put the child down first."

The guy said this and quickly led the few people towards the small bed.

The doctor actually didn't want to pay attention to Bai Zhizhi. In the past, she often used some means to get close to him.

But the child's expression didn't seem fake.
