88 Father, You Can’t Go!
“Ah Tao?” Shen Yao, who was guarding beside her, felt helpless when he saw her suddenly cry.
“Ah Tao? Are you alright?” Shen Yao touched her forehead again, but there were no signs of fever.
Ji Zhao’s state lasted for at least an hour before it ended.
When she woke up, she saw a pair of familiar phoenix eyes filled with anxiety.
“You’re awake?” Seeing that she had woken up, Shen Yao was overjoyed. “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
“I… Cough, cough, cough…” Just as Ji Zhao was about to speak, she felt a pain in her throat and found it difficult to speak.
Shen Yao hurriedly carried her on his back and hurried back to the Shen family’s courtyard.
“What’s going on?” Zhao Lanhua hurriedly stuck her head out when she heard the commotion. She hurriedly put on her coat and walked out. “Third Brother, what’s wrong with Ah Tao?”
“Mother, Ah Tao suddenly fainted just now!” Shen Yao said anxiously.
“Then go get a physician!”
“Mother, Shen Yao, there’s no need to call a physician.” Ji Zhao, who had already recovered, hurriedly said, “I’m fine now.”
“Ah Tao, are you still feeling unwell? Are you really alright? I think we should go and get a physician!” Zhao Lanhua asked with concern. “Is the wound on your head not healed yet?”
“Mother, I’m really fine.” Ji Zhao smiled and shook her head obediently. “I’m just a little tired. I want to go back to my room to rest. Is that okay?”
“Yes, yes, of course!” Zhao Lanhua immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice. “Then, Third Brother, hurry up and accompany Ah Tao back to her room to rest! In the future, don’t bring Ah Tao out to the cold wind at night. The wound on her head hasn’t recovered yet!”
“I understand, Mother.”
Shen Yao accompanied Ji Zhao back to the house. He poured another glass of water and handed it to her.
“I’m sorry.”
“I’m sorry.”
The two of them said this in unison.
“Why are you apologizing?” Ji Zhao smiled helplessly. “Mother must have misunderstood just now, right?”
“It’s fine,” Shen Yao said with a gentle smile. “On the other hand, you suddenly fainted in the Earth Temple and you even cried.”
Ji Zhao in the Earth Temple was too abnormal.
“I…” Just as Ji Zhao was about to explain, a familiar pain surged in her throat.
She could only shake her head. “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
“Tomorrow morning, I’ll accompany you to the county city to see a physician,” Shen Yao said softly, but his tone was firm.
When Ji Zhao was alone in the room, the scene from before appeared in her mind again.
If those images were real—
Ji Zhao did not dare to probe further.
If she guessed correctly, Shen Dashan would drown.
She had to think of a way to stop her father-in-law from approaching any place with a water source!
After some thought, Ji Zhao understood.
This ability to foresee the future must be the spell of the Earth God!
Ji Zhao tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. In the latter half of the night, she was finally able to fall asleep with difficulty.
The next morning.
When Ji Zhao pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard, she saw a gray figure squatting on the ground.
She walked up curiously and asked softly, “Father, what are you doing?”
“I’m digging earthworms,” Shen Dashan replied without looking up. “Ah Tao, I’m going fishing later. Our family will definitely be able to have delicious fish soup tonight!”
“Fishing?” Ji Zhao was alarmed. “Where are you going to fish?”
“It’s over by Xiaji Village. There’s a big lake over there. When I’ve dug up enough earthworms, I can set off!” Shen Dashan smiled happily.
“Father, you can’t go!”
