Chapter 1515: Chapter 1337: Wandering

The Foolish Doctor spoke little and focused solely on practicing medicine. He had been observing Axian and had taken his pulse as well; however, after doing so, his expression suddenly darkened.

Nan Feng quickly asked, "Is there still hope?"

These past few days, she had watched Axian sleep without waking, and she hadn’t had a good night’s rest herself, her heart constantly in knots.

After checking the pulse, the Foolish Doctor immediately took out silver needles and began to apply them while speaking, "I will first seal the child’s meridians to ensure his vital energy does not leak out any further, but if you want him to return to his former condition, I am powerless."

"Divine Doctor, are you also powerless?" Nan Feng asked anxiously.

"This disease is extremely rare in the world, but in my years wandering Jianghu, I’ve heard of a few cases like this. Ten years ago, when I passed through Dazhou, I heard that one of their concubines had birthed four children, two of whom had this disease. One was cured later, while the other unfortunately passed away around the age of six or seven..." the Foolish Doctor looked at Nan Feng, "It is said that children like this are born to people who bear certain anomalies."

Nan Feng was suddenly startled.

He must have been referring to her by ’people with anomalies.’

The Foolish Doctor continued, "Actually, I am only guessing, as I cannot be certain if there are such people among your lineage."

"Do you know who cured the concubine’s child?" Nan Feng asked, not wanting to delve into the topic of anomalies.

"Well..." the Foolish Doctor was a bit troubled, "That place is very hard to find, and even if you find it, the people there might not agree to treat your child. They are very peculiar."

"Divine Doctor, as long as there is a chance to save my child, I am willing to try anything," Nan Feng said.

"West of Dazhou, there is a place called Nanzhao Country, and within it, there is a tribe that uses gu; you might try there, but I cannot guarantee success."

Nan Feng looked at Ye Ge and sought his opinion with her eyes.

Ye Ge nodded immediately, "As long as there’s a glimmer of hope, we cannot give up!"

The Foolish Doctor had already sealed the critical meridians for Axian; Axian was no longer in immediate danger. Still, he needed to rest for over nine hours a day, and even when awake, he was extremely weak, only able to consume liquid food.

...

Xia Dabao was alone at home. Although there were endless farm chores every day, she still felt an emptiness inside.

She realized how boring it was to cook meals alone; cooking too much felt wasteful, and cooking just for one seemed impossible. The villagers all used large iron pots, and with her parents not at home and her small appetite, she could only cook enough for two meals at a time, always leaving a little for her pet grass.

She wondered how Axian was doing.

Her parents had been gone for seven or eight days, and if they had only gone to the Provincial City, it shouldn’t have taken this long. She wanted to rush to the Provincial City to see for herself but feared that Tian Xiaobei’s parents might give up treating Axian after meeting her.

After much thought, she could only obediently stay at home alone.

During Axian’s absence, her pet grass became particularly quiet; usually circling around Axian, now it just lay there quietly, too lazy to move.

The news of Axian’s illness had spread throughout the village, and villagers frequently came to inquire about his condition, even the reticent Axiang. Xia Dabao could only say she did not know, was not sure.
