Chapter 318: Fever
Hu Feng saw her eyes were red. And when she mentioned Bai Zhi, her eyes became teary. Zhao Lan and Hu Changlin were the same kinds of people. They were honest, they don’t like to lie and will never lie, so their emotions were written on their face.
Hu Feng said: “I’ll go inside and take a look.”
Zhao Lan quickly stopped him: “This, this is not good. My daughter told me not to wake her up.”
Hu Feng looked at Zhao Lan and asked: “Did she suffered under the hands of Gu Daren?”
Zhao Lan was shocked and unconsciously asked: “How did you know?” After she blurted out such a question, she busily changed her statement: “No, nothing happened. Zhi’er is just tired, so she fell asleep. Nothing, nothing happened.”
Hu Feng shook his head: “You don’t have to lie to me. I know she went to the town today to complain. That man with surname Gu is not a good person. She accused his brother-in-law, can she have a good end?”
Zhao Lan bites her lip and stops talking. Her tears finally slipped from her eyes: “She told me not to tell you, I—”
Hu Feng patted Zhao Lan’s shoulder and said, “You can rest assured that I will not wake her up. I will just take a look and then come out.”
Hu Feng then pushed opened the door and walked inside the dimly lit room. On the wooden bed that he made, there was a little girl lying on her stomach, wearing only a thin cloth. The thin quilt covering her body slipped to the side.
She was sleeping in the bed with a pale face and chapped lips. Her cheeks were unusually flushing. Hu Feng stretched out his arm and touched her forehead, she was very hot.
She seemed to be muttering something in her mouth.
He came closer to listen.
“Cold, so cold–”
Hu Feng quickly covered her with the quilt on the bed: “Is it better now? Are you still cold?”
His voice was low and gentle. Bai Zhi opened her eyes and looked at Hu Feng. This man in front of him was as handsome as ever, but he seemed to be more handsome than before. It seemed something had changed to him, but she couldn’t tell what it was.
Bai Zhi asked: “What are you doing here? Don’t you have a headache?”
Hu Feng shook his head: “No, nothing at all.”
Bai Zhi closed her eyes and smiled, then said: “I think you are good now, did you remember something?”
Hu Feng shook his head again: “No, I don’t remember anything. Your medicine seems didn’t work.”
“Really?” Bai Zhi tried to open her eyelids and looked at his calm and cold face. “My medicine can only cure the disease, not the heart. It can’t wake up the person who wants to continue sleeping.”
Hu Feng pretended stupid, he stared at her face and said: “You are a doctor, how can you let yourself get sick like this? Did you take medicine?”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “I didn’t, I didn’t expect it will get serious like this.” She pointed her finger at the bed and said: “There is a medicine box below, take it for me.”
Hu Feng took out the box she said under the bed. It was a silver box. It looked delicate but also strange.
Where did this come from? He had never seen such a box before.
“Open it.” She said in a low voice to Hu Feng.
Hu Feng opened the box, it was full of different things, including several tools that he had seen last time when she treated Meng Nan’s hand.
“In the second layer,” she said.
Second layer? Hu Feng was holding the box for so long, but he didn’t notice that there was a second layer.
Bai Zhi looked up at Hu Feng and said: “There are three buttons in the upper right corner. You press the first one, which is the red one.”
Hu Feng found the three buttons she said, there were three small nail size square buttons. The three buttons have different colors. Just like Bai Zhi said, he pushed the red button. There were written words above it, or perhaps it’s not words, it looks like twisted earthworms?
