Chapter 119

"Why are you here so late?"

Seeing Yao Shouning like this, Mrs. Liu was startled, angry and distressed. She quickly asked Mammy Cao to bring a handkerchief, and asked Feng Chun to take Dong Kui to change into clean clothes, fearing that the two of them would catch a cold.

"I always feel that something is going to happen, and I'm a little scared." When Yao Shouning was pulled by Liu Shi, his whole body trembled.

"I want to come and see my mother."

Hearing her words, Mrs. Liu thought that the 'fear' she meant meant today's thunderstorm:

"What can happen? Just hit a thunder and see if it scares you."

Yao Shouning was also cold, he just felt the cold entering his body, and he couldn't speak clearly.

Her hands and feet were as cold as if she was about to lose consciousness, but her brain turned quickly, and she realized that it was already late at night, but Liu Shi did not change into her pajamas, but instead wore a dark suit that was easy to move around. , Even the bun that was pulled up was taken apart, and she was dressed as a man, as if she was about to go out.

"It's so late, why isn't Mom still asleep?"

She asked, and Liu Shi looked away, but frowned:
"I can't sleep yet."

"You want to go out?" Yao Shouning asked again, and Liu subconsciously retorted:

"of course not."

"Then you..."

Yao Shouning glanced at her, and Liu Shi knew that she was referring to his travel attire, so he said lightly:

"There's a thunderstorm tonight, I'm afraid there's something wrong with your sister, so I might go to see her at any time and change clothes to make it easier to move around."

After she finished speaking, she looked at her daughter again:
"Otherwise, do you think it's raining so hard, where else should I go?"

Yao Shouning hesitated for a moment, feeling that what she said made sense.

It was windy and rainy tonight. When we came here, the strong wind broke a jujube tree in our house. The rain was so heavy that it seemed to be connected in a line. Many places in the house had accumulated puddles.

Not long ago, Shendu experienced heavy rain for half a month, which almost flooded the city. I heard that the Bailingshui River not far away was flooded, and the people along the banks are still suffering.

The rain in the past few days may have caused the disaster to repeat again. After the torrential rain tonight, it may be difficult for the entire God City to travel tomorrow.

Under such circumstances, the chance of Mrs. Liu going out is naturally very small. Under the heavy rain, there is a danger of flooding, and it is already midnight, and the road is dark, making it even more difficult to walk.

So even though she changed into simple clothes, Yao Shouning felt that what she said was irrefutable.

The torrential rain had a lot of impacts, and the temperature dropped a bit tonight. Yao Wanning's condition has been repeated recently. Liu has always been very worried about her eldest daughter's condition, and it is very possible that she wants to take care of her at this time.

Thinking of this, she should have been relieved, but for some reason, the bad premonition increased instead of diminishing.

"Mother, I want my mother to accompany me."

She took Liu Shi's hand and acted like a baby:
"Don't go out tonight."

Hearing what she said, Cao Mama couldn't help but sneak a glance at Mrs. Liu, and chimed in:
"That's right ma'am, it's raining so hard tonight, why don't you go out and stay with the second lady."

Mrs. Liu looked up at her, with a hesitant expression on her face, Mammy Cao didn't dare to look her in the eye:

"If Missy is not feeling well, Qing Yuan and Bai Yu will always come to report, and it will not be too late to go when the time comes."

"You..." Liu Shi was a little anxious after being persuaded by the two, but Yao Shouning begged.

She has always been sensible and knows that there is a seriously ill elder sister in her family. Although she likes to act like a baby, she rarely makes excessive demands.

The Liu family has always attached importance to Yao Wanning, but has neglected this daughter's time.

Thinking that Mrs. Wen came to the door during the day, and there was a meaning in her words that she wanted to settle the marriage between Wen Jingsui and Yao Shouning, Liu's heart softened a lot.

In the past, Mrs. Liu always felt that this daughter was still young, and she spent a lot of time with her, so her thoughts were mostly on the eldest daughter. She was only worried that Yao Wanning would not live long, and also thought that if Yao Wanning took good care of her body in the future, she would be with her. Yao Shouning will spend more time with him in the future.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wen came to the door yesterday and hinted that the marriage of the two children could be put on the agenda. Only then did Liu realize that Yao Shouning was about to reach the age of marriage, and he might not be able to stay with her for long.

Mrs. Wen is a very disciplined person. If Yao Shouning marries into the Wen family in the future, he may not be as free as he is now. How long will the mother and daughter be together?
Thinking of this, Liu's eyes were a little sour, he sighed, and his attitude was compromised:

"Ok."

When Yao Shouning saw her agree, a big stone fell from his heart.

For some reason, she always felt that the key to the matter was Liu Shi. Tonight, she was guarding Liu Shi. As long as there were no accidents, this bad premonition would always pass smoothly.

Thinking of this, she quickly said:
"Since my mother won't go out, I'll stay with you and sleep well tonight."

It was raining heavily outside, so it was very difficult to come here, but now the wind is more violent outside, 'whooping', blowing on the roof, like ghosts crying and wolves howling, if you go back, it may be even more difficult to go.

Liu was a little helpless, and worried that it would not be safe for her daughter to go back to the room under such circumstances, so she nodded.

Anyway, Yao Hui has been busy with the Xicheng case recently, so he almost doesn't go home for a rest. Occasionally he takes time to go home, and he just comes back to wash up and change clothes before leaving.

"That's right, I'm going to take out the gauze cabinet in the main room."

Madam Cao was also very happy, and immediately got up to tidy up the inner room:
"Since the beginning of winter, my wife hasn't slept in a long time, and the bed has to be remade."

When the Yao family moved into Shendu with Yao Hui's promotion and bought this house, Yao Shouning was still young, and she was a little scared of the new move, and often acted like a baby and wanted to stick to Liu's side.

At that time, Mrs. Liu had someone specially build a small gauze cabinet in her house, separated by a sliding door with gauze paste, and a kang couch bedding was spread inside, so that her daughter could stay overnight.

Later, she gradually grew older, and Yao's family was financially rich, so they had someone build a new house for her, and moved a room to live alone.

At this moment, when she proposed to sleep with Mrs. Liu, Mammy Cao naturally thought that Mrs. Liu had given up on going out tonight, and happily went to make a bed for Yao Shouning.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu simply calmed down, and ordered Fengchun to send more hot water to the kitchen, and let her take a bath and change clothes again, fearing that she would catch the cold again.

Yao Shouning took a hot bath to dispel the cold, and when she got into bed, Liu Shi took a handkerchief and twisted her hair gently.

She asked about mallow, and Liu said:
"Mallow also went to wash and change clothes, so as not to get cold."

Yao Shouning nodded, he had no doubts about Mrs. Liu's words.

A charcoal basin was lit outside the house, and the hot air was sent in a steady stream. She lay under the silk quilt and was taken care of by her mother. She felt that her tense nerves were completely relaxed at this moment, and the tiredness surged up, and she couldn't stop it. .

"Mom, I'm a little sleepy, don't go, stay here with me."

She stretched out her soft white hands to cover her mouth, yawned a little, and blinked the tears in her eyes:

"I want to hold Mother's hand."

"Like a child."

Liu's heart softened, looking at her daughter who was obviously sleepy, but was determined to refuse to close her eyes, her eyes were full of love and compassion:
"Just go to sleep. Mother is sitting here and wiping your hair. How can I hold your hand?"

Her face was like a goose egg, and her cheeks were bright red after taking a bath.

The vermilion lips seemed to be painted with gorgeous lipstick, and the black hair was like a waterfall, thick, thick and long, so dark that it was almost blue under the light.

The red lips reflected the snowy skin, and the eyebrows were well-grown, as if every part was carefully carved by the heavens. It was both natural and immature, but unconsciously seductive, and it was shockingly beautiful.

The only fly in the ointment is the two faint blue shadows under her eyes.

According to Dong Kui, she hadn't slept well for several days and had a nightmare—Liu guessed that she was frightened after the Xicheng case happened that day.

Although Yao Shouning was calm at the time, she was still a child after all. How could she not be afraid when she saw a murder case?

Thinking of the disaster that I caused because of my impulsive actions that day, I couldn't help but regret it even more.

"Go to sleep."

Mrs. Liu lowered her voice, coaxed him softly, and stretched out her hand to gently rub Yao Shouning's eyes:

"Mother will watch over you to sleep."

Yao Shouning reluctantly nodded, and after getting Liu's assurance, she quickly closed her eyes in peace.

Even though it was stormy outside, the house was extremely warm and accompanied by my mother.

She could feel Liu Shi's fingertips running through her hair, it was both itchy and indescribably relaxing, and eventually she couldn't get over the drowsiness and fell asleep very quickly.

Yao Shouning's breathing gradually became long and rhythmic, and Liu Shi's fingers gently stroked her cheek.

The charcoal in the room was very hot, and Yao Shouning's hair was almost dry. She heard footsteps coming in, even though she had put them lightly, Liu Shi still recognized that it was Mammy Cao coming in through years of getting along.

As soon as Madam Cao entered the room, the gentle expression on her face disappeared, she stuffed her daughter's hand into the bed, and said to Mama Cao who came in with the curtain:

"let's go."

The smile on Cao Mama's face froze for a moment.

After a while, he stammered and asked:

"Are you still going out?"

It rained too much tonight, and many places in Shendu City were probably flooded, making it too dangerous to travel.

Liu Shi nodded:

"It's about Wanning's life." Ever since I ran into Dr. Sun in prison that day, and heard him say that if Yao Wanning couldn't be cured, she might not live to be twenty years old, the string called 'fear' in Liu's heart was plucked.

At the beginning, she could convince herself that she didn't need to listen to Miracle Doctor Sun's nonsense, after all, he was a liar, and maybe he just wanted to take revenge on her because he was unwilling to be arrested after being caught.

But in the past few nights, the rain has not stopped, Yao Wanning's condition has worsened, and Liu Shi has become more and more afraid, always worrying that she will lose this daughter at any time.

Concern leads to chaos, she finally chose to compromise, found another opportunity, quietly went back to God's Prison behind her family's back, and met with Dr. Sun once.

According to the doctor surnamed Sun, there is nothing wrong with Yao Wanning's prescription. The reason why the medicine did not work at the beginning was simply because the prescription lacked an important medicine.

And that medicinal herb was obtained accidentally by his ancestors back then, and he has always carefully treasured it. When he first entered the Divine Capital, he brought it with him into the Divine Capital.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu was worried at first that the valuables would be lost after the ransacking of the house. After all, on the night of the incident, she heard that Xiaoxiao had picked the lock of Miracle Doctor Sun's pharmacy.

The things inside have been moved and moved. Now I heard that there is only one empty house left. The government usually has a lot of cases and not enough manpower. The person was arrested and brought to justice.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what she said, Divine Doctor Sun spoke convincingly, saying that this thing is hidden very secretly, and it is absolutely impossible for outsiders to find it except for his guidance.

Although Liu Shi didn't quite believe it in her heart, out of concern for her daughter, she still bit the bullet and went to the abandoned pharmacy of Sun Shenyao in Xicheng.

The medicine store lock was broken, which made it easier for Liu's actions.

She successfully pushed the door open and entered the house, and according to what he said, she found a brocade box somewhere in his house.

Strange to say, Miracle Doctor Sun's house was moved to an empty place. Even some of the damaged tables and chairs had already been stolen by the neighbors at night. There were weird water ripples on it, but it seemed that no one had noticed it, and she took it into her hands smoothly.

The brocade box was not locked, and there was a strange thing inside, with a texture like honey wax and a light yellow color, about the size of an egg.

It didn't smell like medicine, but it was soft and cold to the touch, and Liu couldn't recognize what it was.

After she got this thing, she went back to see Dr. Sun, who nodded and said:

"Although this thing is a medicine primer, there is still an important link, which is to take the water from the Bailing River at midnight."

Confess that Mrs. Liu needs to go to the Bailing River in person, stir the river water with her hands, seven times in front and back, and after the water swirls, take the water from the center of the whirlpool, and then decoct this medicine, then feed it to Yao Wanning, and the medicine will be ready cured.

At the same time, I also told her that things should be done quickly rather than slowly. Once the medicine box is opened, the medicine gas will gradually dissipate.

It is best for her to act tonight. At the same time, Yao Wanning can get out of bed as soon as possible by taking the medicine earlier. The recovery is just around the corner. If it is delayed for a long time, she may die soon.

Having reached this point, although Liu Shi said that she didn't understand why the water from the Bailing River had to be taken and muddied before use, but it was a matter of her daughter's life and death, so she complied.

Before leaving, Dr. Sun also warned her that this step must not be omitted. Once the water from the Bailing River is not taken, Yao Wanning will not only be unable to cure the disease, but very bad accidents may happen.

Although Mrs. Liu said that she didn't believe in evil, seeing that Dr. Sun said it very solemnly, she kept his instructions firmly in her heart.

Originally, she had already planned to go out to fetch water tonight, but it rained heavily before she could go out.

When she was about to go out in the rain, Yao Shouning came again in the heavy rain and wanted to entangle her.

"But, but you promised Second Miss..."

Madam Cao was a little anxious, before she finished speaking, she saw Mrs. Liu shaking her head:
"She has fallen asleep and will not wake up again."

Yao Shouning was open-minded, and rarely woke up at night, and she was tired for many days, so she slept very soundly now.

Liu said:

"Let's go and come back quickly, at most two or three hours, as soon as the water is brought back, immediately decoct the medicine for Wanning to take. When I return to the room, maybe Shouning is still awake."

"It's so windy and windy outside, I'm afraid it's dangerous to travel..."

"I don't care about that much, nanny."

When Liu Shi said this, tears flowed out:

"I have been terrified of Wanning's illness for 18 years..."

As soon as she cried and called out, Cao Mama's heart softened immediately, and she couldn't say anything else.
