Chapter 788: Chapter 788 Compromise (1)_1

The eve of Xiaonian passed amidst the bustling sounds of firecrackers, and the festive atmosphere grew increasingly rich. Compared to other families in the village who were still busy preparing for the New Year goods, the Mo Family lacked for nothing. They made a trip to the city, bought incense, candles, firecrackers, and the usual cooking condiments – once they had procured these New Year necessities, their days carried on as usual.

The next day was another clear, sunny one. Mo Yan sat in the courtyard, basking in the warm sun while hemming new clothes for her father.

Underneath her, a large sheepskin blanket made from several pieces lay on the ground; four animals lay across it in disarray, leisurely swaying their tails, contentedly closing their eyes, and relishing the tranquility and warmth of the winter day.

After finishing the last stitch, Mo Yan lifted her head to rub her somewhat stiff neck and picked up the finished garment, preparing to go to the study to have her father try it on. Just then, Dani stumbled in, her voice choked with despair, "Yan, Yan, quick, go into the city to fetch the doctor, something’s happened to my brother, we need, we need a doctor right away, Yanyan, drive the cart, drive the cart to get the doctor, my brother, my brother’s vomiting blood, wuuu—"

Dani’s words were confused, but Mo Yan heard the words "vomiting blood" clearly and turned pale with shock, "Brother Tie Tou is perfectly fine, how could he suddenly vomit blood for no reason?"

Dani was in a torrent of tears, no longer able to speak.

Vomiting blood surely meant there was damage to the internal organs. Mo Yan guessed that Tie Tou must have fallen or suffered some other external blow to be in such a state. Afraid that taking him by carriage to the city would worsen his condition due to the jolting ride, she decided to lead a horse cart into the city to fetch the master herself.

At that moment, Mo Qingze arrived and heard what Dani was saying. His face changed drastically, and he said to Mo Yan, "Yanyan, you go to the Wu family with the medicine pills first, Father will go to the city to summon Doctor Du."

The pills Mo Qingze mentioned were those that Mo Yan had asked Doctor Du to make from various medicinal herbs from the Space, for all sorts of medicinal effects. There were pills to clear heat and detoxify, to treat headaches and fevers, and also life-saving pills made from old ginseng for emergencies.

"Father, then you hurry to summon the master, I will go with the pills right away," said Mo Yan as she put down the clothing and quickly agreed. After telling Dani, she hurried back to her room, fetched three life-saving pills from the Space, and filled a water sack with Spirit Spring Water.

By the time Mo Yan returned to the front courtyard, Mo Qingze had already left with Da HongZao, Xin Er and the others had also received the news and wanted to go and see the situation at the Wu family.

"Tie Tou—my child, wake up, please wake up... as long as you wake up, Mother will agree to anything... will agree to anything, wuuu—"

"Wuuu, brother, please wake up, have you abandoned us? Please wake up..."

The group hurried to the Wu family, and before they even entered, cries of Wu Shi’s heartrending mourning and the loud weeping of San Ni and Shitou could be heard from inside the house.

Everyone’s heart skipped a beat, and they rushed through the courtyard gate, heading straight for Tie Tou’s room. There, they saw Tie Tou lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his face deathly pale and a trail of fresh blood at the corner of his mouth. The light-colored pillow and quilt cover were also covered in harrowing dark red stains.

Mo Yan did not have time to comfort the inconsolable Wu Shi. She hurried forward to feel Tie Tou’s faint and erratic pulse, a clear sign that things were very bad indeed.

Having studied medicine for barely a few months, Mo Yan couldn’t determine the exact cause of Tie Tou’s vomiting of blood, nor did she know if he could hold on until the master arrived. She immediately fed him one of the life-saving pills she had brought. Seeing that he couldn’t even swallow, she quickly opened the water sack, using the Spirit Spring Water to help him wash it down.

Watching Mo Yan’s flurry of actions, Wu Shi gradually stopped crying, staring intently at Tie Tou on the bed, afraid that if she looked away for even a second, he would be gone.
