Chapter 1080: 1080 Qinghe dyed with severe wind-cold Chapter 1080: 1080 Qinghe dyed with severe wind-cold In the room with the doors and windows closed, Xiao Qinghe lay alone on the ice-cold ground, his entire face pale and his body chilly, having lain there for a whole night.

Dragging his two legs that had lost all sensation and couldn’t move.

He struggled to crawl on the ground, using his hands to push against the edge of the bed, trying to climb onto it.

Unfortunately, despite several attempts, he failed to do so.

His lips quivered slightly, and a hint of scorn surfaced at the corners of his mouth.

What a useless person he wasaEUR”if his body was a little weak, he couldn’t even climb onto the bed.

Hearing from outside that Su Qingyue and Xiao Yuchuan had already readied the horse-drawn cart and were prepping to leave with it.

He clenched his fist, and with all the strength in his body, he finally managed to climb onto the bed.

Taking a breath, he struggled to turn overaEUR”a simple action that nearly exhausted all of his energy.

After covering himself with the quilt, he waved his hand and knocked a cup off the tea table at the bed’s head.

The cup broke on the ground, emitting the sound of shattering porcelain.

Upon hearing it, Xiao Yuchuan and Su Qingyue in the yard immediately asked, “Fourth Brother, what happened!”

As he spoke, he went to push open the door to Xiao Qinghe’s room.

The door was shut; from inside came Xiao Qinghe’s weak voice, “Third brother, the window isn’t bolted.”

Xiao Yuchuan pushed the window open and saw Qinghe lying on the bed, pale-faced, and sweating profusely as if from a fever.

He climbed through the window into the room, and after entering, he slid back the door bolt, allowing Su Qingyue to also enter.

Xiao Yuchuan sat at the edge of the bed and extended his hand, checking Xiao Qinghe’s pulse; a frown inadvertently formed on his face, “Fourth Brother, you’ve been infected with a severe case of wind-cold.”

“It’s nothingaEUR|” His lips were somewhat cracked, and he gave a bitter smile, “It’s just my lousy body.

I probably didn’t cover myself well enough last night.”

Xiao Yuchuan placed his hand over his forehead and said, “You have a fever.”

He asked feebly, “Are third brother and Qingyue going to town?”

Yuchuan nodded.

Xiao Qinghe said indifferently, “You two go ahead.

Don’t worry about me.”

“You’re sick, there has to be someone at home to take care of you,” Xiao Yuchuan stood up.

“I’m going to brew you some antipyretic medicine that can cure wind-cold.

You haven’t had your breakfast either, so I’ll also heat it up.”

“Third Brother, there’s no need…” He tried to stop him, but Yuchuan had already turned and left.

Su Qingyue hadn’t checked Qinghe’s pulse, but with her medical skill, she knew just by looking how serious his illness was.

She also followed and left the room.

Xiao Yuchuan stood silently in the yard.

Seeing him like this, Su Qingyue knew he was waiting for her.

“What is it, Third Brother?”

“This morning, when I called Fourth Brother for breakfast, he didn’t open the door, saying he’d eat it later in the kitchen.

Yet yesterday evening, he was fine, and now he’s caught a severe wind-cold and doesn’t even have the strength to sit up in bed.

Although Fourth Brother’s legs are in bad shape, his health has always been relatively good.

Considering the current weather, even if he didn’t cover himself with a blanket, he shouldn’t have become so severely chilled,” Xiao Yuchuan frowned, “And Fourth Brother’s skin is ice-cold.”

“You mean…” With Su Qingyue’s intelligence, she instantly guessed, “Are you saying Fourth Brother lay on the ground all night on purpose to fall ill?”

Xiao Yuchuan smiled bitterly, “Or perhaps, Fourth Brother guessed that we were planning to open a shop in town, and he doesn’t want us to go.”

Su Qingyue fell silent, “What do you think, Third Brother?”

“Second Brother has been leaving early and returning late recently, going hunting in the mountains, and Li Rong’er is no good either; it won’t work to have her take care of Fourth Brother.

Given Fourth Brother’s temperament, if Li Rong’er were to speak ill or…

abuse him, he would never speak up about it.”
