Chapter 521: It Works
Chapter 521: It Works
"You're already such a grown-up, yet you're still afraid of hardship!"
Although she said this in jest, Nier's hands did not stop moving at all.
She raised her slightly slender arm and carefully brought the bowl of medicine to the young man's mouth.
Then, she tilted the bowl slightly, allowing the dark brown liquid to slowly flow into the young man's mouth.
The whole process was slow and gentle, for fear of choking the other person.
Finally, the young man swallowed the whole bowl of medicine with difficulty.
However, right after he finished drinking the medicine, his face instantly became very ugly, almost the same color as the black medicine.
His brows were tightly furrowed and there were even tears welling up in his eyes, just about to burst out.
Obviously, the bitterness of the medicine was beyond his tolerance.
Seeing this, Nier quickly put down the empty bowl in her hand, quickly picked up another bowl of clean water that had been prepared on the table and handed it to the young man, and said with concern: "Rinse your mouth quickly."
After receiving the bowl of water, the young man could not wait to rinse his mouth. After rinsing his mouth several times, the disgusting bitter taste finally faded a little.
"You take a rest, I'm leaving first." Ni'er said softly.
She packed her things methodically and prepared to leave.
At this time, the young man had been watching Ni'er silently.
Suddenly, an indescribable sadness surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask: "Tell me the truth, is my body..."
Before he finished speaking, his voice began to tremble slightly.
Hearing this, Nier froze in place instantly as if she was cast under a spell, her hands stopped moving, and just hung in the air.
After a long while, she came back to her senses, turned around quickly, forced a smile on her face, and quickly replied: "How...how could it be? Don't let your imagination run wild! Look at you, you are so young and strong, your body is much better than many people. Rest well, take medicine on time, you will definitely recover soon, there will be no problem!"
The young man stared closely at Ni'er's eyes full of sincerity, and for some reason, he felt an indescribable warmth and comfort in his heart.
At this moment, he felt that all the discomforts in his body seemed to be relieved, the pain was no longer so intense, and even his breathing became a little smoother.
However, for Nier, saying these words against her will really made her feel pressured.
Although she tried to remain calm on the surface, her expression was extremely stiff and even her muscles were twitching slightly.
At this moment, she was extremely nervous, her heart was pounding, and she was afraid that the young man in front of her would see through her lie.
Therefore, from beginning to end, Nier did not dare to look him directly in the eye, but instead kept her eyes fixed on his forehead, trying to hide her guilt.
Fortunately, perhaps because his body was too weak, the young man soon felt a wave of fatigue coming over him, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally he slowly closed his eyes.
Seeing this scene, Nier's heart finally settled down a little. She carefully picked up the bowl in her hand, walked to his side quietly, and placed the bowl next to the boy's pillow near his head.
"I poured you a bowl of water and put it here. If you are thirsty, don't forget to drink it." Ni'er said softly.
Then she slowly turned and left, her footsteps so light that they made almost no sound.
It was not until she walked a distance and came to a corner where the young man could not see her that Nier's tense nerves completely relaxed, and she collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.
At this moment, Nier let out a long sigh and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead. Thinking back to what happened just now, she was still frightened.
His condition is indeed not optimistic, and he should find a suitable time to talk to his master about this matter.
"I just wanted to find you!"
When the aunt who served the old lady met Ni'er on the road, her mouth suddenly widened as wide as it could, and her eyebrows curved like two crescent moons hanging on her face.
Seeing my aunt's overwhelmed expression, I understood about 70% of the situation. It was probably going to be a success.
"What's the matter? Does it work or not?" Ni'er asked impatiently, looking at each other expectantly.
"It's really effective! Now, she no longer dares to bother me, and she no longer asks me to pass messages on her behalf. This is all thanks to you. You really helped me solve a huge problem!"
The aunt held Ni'er's hand with great joy and kept thanking her.
Nier was infected by her aunt's enthusiasm, and her mood improved a little. She was no longer as gloomy and depressed as before.
"Aunt, it's too polite for you to say these polite words to me. I'm very happy to be able to help you!" Ni'er responded with a smile.
"Oh, I'm so happy today! By the way, I wonder if you've heard something? It's said that the county magistrate is going to give money to those families whose houses are damaged. Not only that, he's also going to send people to help repair the houses."
My aunt excitedly talked about the rumor she had just heard.
After hearing this, Nier couldn't help but feel moved, but she was not sure whether the news was true.
If this is true, then it will undoubtedly be a timely help for those families whose houses have been damaged!
"Aunt, I'll go find out if this is true. I'll come back and tell you when I have definite news. I have other things to do, so I have to leave first."
"Okay, okay, then I won't keep you any longer."
My aunt nodded happily, then turned and left briskly, humming a cheerful tune.
Nier peeked inside a slightly old tent. The faint smell of Chinese medicine instantly enveloped her nose. She saw her master taking the patient's pulse at a glance.
When it was over, Nier walked in.
At this moment, a light and familiar sound of footsteps reached his ears. Zhao Jincheng's heart moved, and he turned back subconsciously. Sure enough, it was his little apprentice.
I saw the little apprentice walking towards me quickly with small steps, her bright eyes revealed a bit of worry and anxiety, as if there was a heavy stone pressing on her heart.
Looking at the young face of his little disciple, Zhao Jincheng couldn't help but think that she had to face these scenes of life and death every day at such a young age, and a feeling of pity instantly surged in his heart.
He frowned slightly and said softly, "Let's go out and talk."
The little apprentice nodded obediently and followed his master out of the tent like a docile little deer.
When they reached an open space outside, the master stopped and turned around.
