Children have thin blood vessels, and the needles in this era are thick. There are no needles made specifically for children like in the modern era. It is difficult to insert a needle when injected, and can sometimes cause bleeding. They fear the drug accidentally leaking from the needle during the injection process. Normally, when children were injected, Mu Jingzhe would have to watch over them closely.
However, with Shao Qihai present, this time there was no need. After seeing Mu Jingzhe yawn, Shao Qihai whispered, “Quickly and sleep. I'll hold Xiao Wu and keep an eye on everything.”
Unfortunately, Xiao Wu was very sensitive and cried as she left Mu Jingzhe's arm. Mu Jingzhe could only continue hugging Xiao Wu while Shao Qihai watched from the side.
After Xiao Wu's fever subsided, Mu Jingzhe finally managed to relax. After a grueling night, in the second half of the night, knowing that Shao Qihai was beside him, he could not help but close his eyes.
He slept until dawn.
When he woke up, Mu Jingzhe found himself sleeping soundly in his chair. Xiao Wu, on the other hand, was still in his arms. However, after he fell asleep, his arms loosened around him. Xiao Wu's head and body were half sustained by Shao Qihai.
“You're up.” Seeing that Mu Jingzhe had woken up, Shao Qihai greeted him gently.
"Ah." Mu Jingzhe sat up straight and hugged Xiao Wu properly. “Is the injection finished? Why didn't you wake me?”
"Aren't you awake now?" Seeing that Mu Jingzhe was so tired, how could Shao Qihai wake him up?
Shao Qihai discovered that Mu Jingzhe spoke in his dreams at night. He did not know if it was because he was also worried about Xiao Wu in his dreams, but he kept shouting that he wanted to kill Shao Qiyun.
Xiao Wu also did not sleep well and often woke up.
At dawn, it was almost time for doctors to work. He went to find a doctor again.
The doctor prescribed the medicine, but he suggested that Mu Jingzhe look for the only old TCM doctor [1] in their hospital. The old TCM doctor was very good at taking care of patients who got sick from fear or something.
Mu Jingzhe and Shao Qihai then took Xiao Wu to the old TCM doctor. The old TCM doctor looked at him and asked questions before prescribing the medication. “He will be fine after drinking it for a few days. After taking the medicine, he should be able to fall asleep at night. If it still doesn't work, come again. Over the next few days, you and your husband should try their best not to leave the child's side and there is always someone accompanying him.”
When Mu Jingzhe heard the words 'you and your husband', he was a little embarrassed. Shao Qihai, however, had already agreed and asked about the things they should pay attention to.
As they exited the city hospital, Mu Jingzhe went to look for Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng without hesitation. Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng were busy working at the moment. When they heard that Mu Jingzhe had come in the middle of the night last night, they wondered why he had not gone looking for them.
“Come now is also fine. Dad, Mom, I'm hungry.” If he came to look for his parents in the middle of the night, Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng would definitely be busy themselves and would not sleep well that night. How could Mu Jingzhe bear to do that?
They had to get up at four or five for their business, so they couldn't delay their break.
Xiao Wu was still a little dizzy, but when he saw Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng, he smiled out of habit and greeted them. “Grandma, Grandpa, I'm hungry too.”
Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng did not know about Xiao Wu's descendants. They touched Xiao Wu's forehead. “Understand, understood. Grandma will make whatever you want to eat. Fortunately, you are not hot anymore. Look at you, your weight went down overnight. Your little face is pale. We have to feed you.”
Shao Qihai could not help but smile as he looked at them from the side. When he saw Li Zhaodi looking at him, he quickly called out, "Mom!"
Then, he spoke to Mu Teng. "Dad."
Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng nodded indifferently. “What do you eat?”
How could Shao Qihai dare to order? "Everything's fine."
Li Zhaodi did not stand on ceremony. “Then eat steamed bread and porridge. There are fried dough sticks and eggs as well. You can take it yourself. ”
When Xiao Wu had just finished vomiting, he cooked her a bowl of egg noodles. Noodles are cooked until very soft, which is good for digestion.
After Mu Jingzhe finished a bowl of sour and spicy noodles, he became energetic and gave a thumbs up to Li Zhaodi. “Bu, this is delicious. Your sour and spicy noodles are the best. I want to eat eggs.”
Li Zhaodi wanted to get it, but Shao Qihai was already standing up. "I'll do it, I'll do it."
He took out an Egg of Herbal Tea and peeled it before giving it to Mu Jingzhe. "Do you want to eat something else?"
“Enough, enough.” Mu Jingzhe ate his Herbal Tea Eggs with a sour and spicy broth. "Mom, Egg Herbal Tea is also delicious."
“Everything is good for you.” Li Zhaodi sounded contemptuous, but her eyes were filled with happiness. Upon seeing that Shao Qihai even knew how to peel eggs for Mu Jingzhe, he found her a little more pleasing to the eye. "Qihai, are you full? You can eat more if you are still hungry.”
“I'm full.” Shao Qihai nodded. At that moment, Mu Jingzhe put down his chopsticks and quickly brought the dishes to wash them.
On the way back, Shao Qihai persuaded Xiao Wu and told him not to let Mu Jingzhe carry him because it was heavy for him. He brought Xiao Wu all the way back and did not allow Mu Jingzhe to do so, saying that he did not have to worry as his injuries were a little more already healed.
When they returned home, it was almost noon. After cooking, Mu Jingzhe boiled Chinese medicine. The medicine smells bad and tastes even worse. It is bitter and astringent.
Mu Jingzhe tried to drink a mouthful and immediately grimaced in pain before he swallowed it with great difficulty.
Xiao Wu also had a hard time drinking it, but in the end, he still drank it with his little face shriveled.
Although the medicine tasted bad, it was effective. That night, Xiao Wu stopped his fever and did not vomit. Due to its calming effect, he also fell asleep.
However, after two days of torment, due to the medicine, Xiao Wu did not look energetic in the next few days. He looks a lot thinner.
Watching Xiao Wu suffer, when Mu Jingzhe thought of the culprit next door, anger flowed into his head. Zhao Lan had been watching Shao Qiyun and would not let her escape, which made things easier for Mu Jingzhe. By dragging Shao Qiyun and drowning her once a day, the hatred in her heart slightly lessened.
Every time Mu Jingzhe saw Xiao Wu taking his medicine, he had the urge to beat up Shao Qiyun. Here Shao Qiyun recovered and came back to life, while Xiao Wu was in great pain and had to take medicine after falling ill from fear. Why isn't he the one with the high fever and vomiting?!
Mu Jingzhe could not bear to lie down!
He tortured Shao Qiyun for days as long as Xiao Wu took his medicine. When Xiao Wu finished taking the medicine and finally regained his energy, Mu Jingzhe stopped becoming extremely angry and did not continue.
However, there was still one thing he had yet to take revenge on. Mu Jingzhe felt that he should take revenge for it. It's just that this revenge will get a little dirty, so he has to cover himself properly so that he doesn't get dirty.
Mu Jingzhe was still wondering if he should carry out this revenge with his raincoat and rain boots, but Shao Dong and the others left first.
They plotted against Shao Qiyun, who fell into the dirt pool. When he was lifted up, he was a terrible mess. The details are unbearable to explain. After all, the entire village was on alert that day. When the villagers talked about it, other than laughing, they would also vomit.
Now, Shao Qiyun finally felt thrown into the toilet. But they did not make him drown.
Whether heaven had eyes or not, Mu Jingzhe, Shao Dong, and the others did not know, but they wanted Shao Qiyun to suffer the consequences of her own actions. They wanted him to feel how horrible the evil words he was saying were casually and the evil deeds he was doing casually.
Originally, she wanted to give birth to Xiao Wu in the toilet. Then, he kept saying that he would throw it in the toilet and let it die. Now, he finally knows what it's like.
