Ning Yu immediately carried over a small stool for Zhan Xiaolou and placed it beside the bed. Although the stool was already clean, he still wiped it with his sleeve and looked at Zhan Xiaolou.

Zhan Xiaolou smiled and nodded at him. He then sat on the chair and gently took her pulse.

After a while, he retracted his hand, looked at Mother Ning's eyes, tongue fur, and tested her body temperature. She was having a fever, and asked about her physical condition to make an initial diagnosis of lung infection, which should have dragged on for a long time.

It's not right, so it's getting more and more serious, but I can't be sure, so I said, "It's a lung infection, it's more serious, it's not tuberculosis, it's not that serious, I have to give Auntie some antipyretic medicine first, and then I have to eat some herbs, I'll make a prescription later.

Hearing Zhan Xiaoluo's words, Ning Yu and Mother Ning heaved a sigh of relief. Mother Ning held her hand and sighed, "It's fine as long as you can cure it, but if I'm terminally ill, I'm not afraid of death. The most important thing is that Xiao Yu is left behind. "Where can I put my heart at rest …"

"Mother." Ning Yu cried out before she anxiously said, "I don't want to marry anyone. Anyway, no one will marry me. I want to stay by your side and serve you for the rest of my life."

"Nonsense!" Mother Ning said softly, "You're so good, how can no one want you? You... "Cough, cough, cough."

She was so excited that she started to cough violently. Ning Yu hurriedly knelt down and patted her back.

"Mother, don't be angry. I understand, I understand. I will listen to you." Ning Yu was very nervous.

When Mother Ning stopped coughing and closed her eyes as if she was tired, Zhan Xiaolou said that she should first let her rest quietly.

As the two of them walked out of the room, Ning Yu hurriedly bowed in gratitude. Thank you, Doctor Zhan! "

"You're welcome, I'm smaller than you. You can call me Little Lou. Behind this village is the mountain. Tomorrow, we'll go up the mountain and see if there are any herbs we need. If there is, we don't need to buy any from the town." she suggested.

Ning Yu was very happy to hear that, so she said, "Sorry for troubling you, Big War …" "Lou, I'll bring you up the mountain to gather herbs tomorrow."

"Go heat up some hot water. Your mother is sick and isn't suitable for drinking cold. Even if you want to eat something, there must be some taboo. Let me tell you, remember this well …" Zhan Xiaolou continued to explain.

Ning Yu listened attentively. He'd remembered everything that Zhan Xiaolou had told him. He couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

After giving out her orders, Zhan Xiaolou looked at Auntie Lu who was pacing back and forth in the courtyard. Perhaps she had been too anxious from waiting.

He then said to Ning Yu, "Then let's leave it at this for now. I still have other things to do, so I'll be leaving first. I'll come over tomorrow morning. We'll head to the mountains to gather some herbs."

"Alright, no problem. Sorry for troubling you."

After calling Auntie Lu, the two of them drove the carriage towards Lu Yi's home. Lu Yi's family was even poorer than Ning Yu's. Seeing the sky darken, his home was still pitch black, with no oil lamps to light it up.

Before he could get close, he could already hear the crying of the baby, the man's flustered voice comforting the child, and the impatient swearing of the woman.

Auntie Lu's expression changed. Naturally, she recognized the voices. They belonged to Lu Yi and his wife.

After tying up the carriage, Aunt Lu went to the door and called out for a few times. There was no response from inside, so she probably did not hear anything.

"You are such a lazy person. I have to work hard outside every day. Once I get back, you won't even make me a mouthful of hot food. Watch me beat you to death." The woman's rough voice was filled with curses, followed by the wailing and pleading of Lu Yi.
