This mountain is mine

Chapter 48 The Lost Gamble
Zhao Man's illness was too serious to be able to move. No matter how unwilling the Yu family was, they couldn't see him die on the way back to Dr. Qiu's house, so they had to let him stay.

Two benches were set up in the main room, Dr. Qiu brought two door panels from his house, and a mattress, and just fell asleep.He also stays here.

With Dr. Qiu around, I don't worry about others talking about his reputation.

But now, Yu Miaomiao heard Zhao Man yell "Water..." for a long time, and Dr. Qiu didn't answer him.

Lan Niang next to her was sleeping very deeply. She knelt with Yan Shi for half the night yesterday, and she was really tired today, and the others were probably similar.

The sound insulation in the house was poor, and it was quiet at night. Yu Miaomiao could hear very clearly, and couldn't bear it any longer. When she put on her clothes, she got up and lit the oil lamp in the main room, but she couldn't lose sight of her fingers.

When I got to the main room, the betrothal gifts hadn't been removed yet, occupying most of the room.

Zhao Man was the only one in the room, lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his body still trembling, a few locks of hair on his forehead were scattered, already soaked in sweat, and his chapped lips kept shouting: "Water... ...".

Under the light, this appearance looked extremely fragile and pitiful, and compared to the domineering and unreasonable appearance before, it looked like two people.

"Where did Doctor Qiu die?" Yu Miaomiao murmured, touched the kettle, it was still warm, and when he got a glass of water, raised his head slightly, and felt a piece of damp.

"Why are you sweating so much?"

Yu Miaomiao frowned, brought the water to his lips, and it was quickly finished.

She took the lamp, went to the kitchen and took out a small bag of salt, sprinkled a small spoon in the kettle, and poured Zhao Man two more glasses to drink.

After thinking about it, she went into the room and took two dry cloth towels and stuffed them on Zhao Man's chest and back.She didn't dare to change his clothes, what if he really fell for her?Let's wait for Dr. Qiu to come back and change it for him.

After finishing all this, Yu Miaomiao was about to go back to sleep when suddenly her hands were grabbed, and Zhao Man murmured, "Mother..."

Yu Miaomiao turned around, trying to withdraw her hand, but it was held tightly.

She bent down, trying to pull out her fingers, but she heard Zhao Man say vaguely: "I didn't...you forced me." But she put more force in her hands, and Yu Miaomiao felt that her fingers were about to break.

She whispered: "No one will force you, let me go first."

"Don't let it go."

"Sleep well, be obedient, and it won't hurt when you fall asleep." Yu Miaomiao stared at his face, sighed, and brushed away the wet hair on his forehead with empty hands.

"pain……"

"Where does it hurt?"

"Heart, my heart hurts so much..." Zhao Man pressed her hand on his heart as he spoke, "It hurts so much."

"You'll act like a baby when you're sick... Are you still Zhao Man... Who do you love?"

"It hurts... rub it..."

Yu Miaomiao was grabbed and rubbed his heart.

"I really don't know if you are pretending. Is it because I am taking advantage of you, or you are taking advantage of me."

He rubbed it a few times, let out a sigh of relief, he stopped moving, but urged: "Kneading... don't stop."

"I really think you are an uncle." Yu Miaomiao complained, stood up and left.

"I want water..."

Resigned to his fate, Yu Miaomiao poured him another glass of water, and when he finished drinking, his face was still in pain and he snorted again.

Yu Miaomiao shook her head, "What kind of disease is it that tortures people like this... Doctor Qiu is coming back soon, I'm going back to sleep, what do you want?"

"I want... this world."

Yu Miaomiao was startled, and soon smiled again: "It's really very sick." She reached out and touched his forehead, it was cold, but he didn't have a fever!

"Return the world, I also want... sleep, Man, the world will be yours when you sleep."

"I still want to get married, mother..."

"Why are you so good at dreaming? I'll call Dr. Qiu here."

Yu Miaomiao came out of the house, let out a long breath, and saw Dr. Qiu coming back from outside the courtyard with a lantern.

"Doctor Qiu, where have you been? Your nephew has been calling you for a long time!"

Doctor Qiu didn't say a word, he hurried into the room and gave Zhao Man a few more needles. Yu Miaomiao saw that although he was still frowning, he was no longer trembling, and he didn't know if he was asleep or passed out.

Dr. Qiu sat down and looked at Yu Miaomiao with a worried expression.

Yu Miaomiao's expression was not good, "Doctor Qiu, how do you feel after drinking that medicine?"

Dr. Qiu snorted, "The old man is much better."

"Would you like to drink some more meridians?"

Dr. Qiu gave her a cold look and didn't speak.

"Why are you giving me this medicine?"

"People who are too curious don't live long!" Doctor Qiu closed his eyes after finishing speaking, making it clear that he would not say anything to Yu Miaomiao.

"I'm really curious, what will happen to a man who drinks amenorrhea powder?" Yu Miaomiao stared at Dr. Qiu for a while. Although Dr. Qiu had his eyes closed, his eyelids were trembling. Seriously said: "Doctor Qiu, your beard has fallen off!"

Dr. Qiu stretched out his hand to touch his chin, and found that it was still there. He pulled it, but there was no sign of falling off, so he was relieved.

Many of the medicines he prescribed were indeed unusable for men.

"You stinky girl, how dare you entertain this old man!"

But Yu Miaomiao had already left.

On the second day, Zhao Man's illness seemed to be more serious. Doctor Qiu gave him acupuncture and Mafei San, and he was in a coma all the time.

Early in the morning, Dr. Qiu's eyes were like knives, and he kept shooting at Yu Miaomiao.

Yu Miaomiao didn't want to ask why anymore, anyway, the old man wouldn't tell her the reason.

But she asked Dr. Qiu to buy insecticidal herbs, but he still sold them.

Lan Niang helped to grind the medicinal herbs into powder and sprinkled them on the pear tree. After a while, the caterpillars fell to the ground, making everyone feel sick. They said that it was a waste of money to buy such a tree for three hundred cash!
Yu Miaomiao swept the insects away, dug a small hole and buried it under the tree as fertilizer.

Apart from being a little weak, she is in good spirits. Seeing that Shi Shi and Mei Niang talked less, but on the surface they are still normal, and her mood is much better. does not matter.

After breakfast, Mrs. Yan said that Yu Miaomiao had indeed made money from Fang Aonan, and everyone's attitude towards land reclamation was quite positive.

After discussing it yesterday, they took the tools directly, and a group of women's soldiers were going to the village to see the situation at the foot of the mountain. As soon as they went out, a carriage stopped in front of Yu's house in a hurry.

The car did not stop, and only one person got off.

"Madam Yu, the green fragrant ball you handled last time is dead!"

The person who came was the steward of the Fang family's flower shop, and he almost fell down with a sad face.

"It's too late to get another pot of green fragrant balls. It's not enough time to ship them from Dali. It's hard to find peonies better than this one. What should I do!"

"Green Fragrance Ball!" Lan Niang screamed, pinching Yu Miaomiao's arm, "Last time I told you not to be brave, and you bet with others that if a potted flower dies, it will die. Now you really want to be someone else's!" Young people!"
