Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Daya Has Arrived Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Daya Has Arrived Shu Yu put down her carrying basket happily and approached, “Sister, how come you’re here?”
Daya turned around and upon seeing Shu Yu, whom she hadn’t seen for many days, she excitedly rushed forward to hug her, “Yu, you’ve suffered.”
“No, I’m fine, look how energetic I am,” Shu Yu patted her back and smiled, “Now that you’re here, I can’t tell you how much lighter I feel.”
Daya’s eyes reddened, “And yet you say that, after such a big incident happened, you didn’t even let us know.”
She released Shu Yu and scrutinized her complexion.
Though she looked spirited, she had indeed lost weight and her skin had darkened.
Feeling uneasy under her gaze, Shu Yu could assure that she hadn’t lost weight. The food she had on her journey had been plentiful. It was true she had gotten darker, but that couldn’t be helped, she could regain her fairness with time.
Shu Yu quickly diverted Daya’s attention and whispered, “Sister, let’s not rush into other talks. Has Zhao Xi come back? Where is he?”
Daya knew what she wanted to ask as Grandmother had already informed them upon their arrival.
So without delay, she said, looking at Fang Xiyue who was standing anxiously behind Shu Yu, “He’s back. According to Grandmother, Miss Fang’s father was beaten with paddles, and he must know the situation, so he went into the house to prepare medicine first.”
Upon hearing this, Xiyue’s eyes lit up, “Really?”
In the midst of their conversation, Zhao Xi, hearing the noise outside, came out carrying a medicine box.
“Where is the sick person? Let’s go check now. It will be difficult to diagnose after it gets dark.”
Xiyue hurriedly said, “At home, not far from here. Doctor Lu, I’ll take you there.”
Zhao Xi, “… Who is Doctor Lu?”
He looked sorrowfully at Shu Yu, who stifled a laugh, then spoke to Daya and the old lady among others, “I’ll accompany him there. I’ll be back soon.”
“Alright, go ahead then. After the check, we’ll have a good talk.” Daya took a handkerchief and wiped Shu Yu’s face, then watched as they left the home.
She turned back, picked up the basket Shu Yu had left on the ground, and spread out the mushrooms and black fungus inside.
Shu Yu and the others soon reached the Fang family’s house. By then, Mother Fang hadn’t returned.
Xiyue put down her basket and hurried into the room.
“Dad, Dad, the doctor is here.”
Father Fang had dozed off after Xiyue left and had just awoken not long ago.
Hearing her excited voice, a flicker of hope rose in Father Fang.
Zhao Xi entered and first examined Father Fang’s complexion and couldn’t help but frown. Just by the looks of it, he knew Father Fang’s condition was quite severe.
He moved quickly, sitting on the bed to check his pulse and then shooed the two girls out, “I need to check the wounds on his back, step outside for a moment, then you can come back in.”
Though worried, Xiyue understood she couldn’t stay, so she led Shu Yu out of the room.
Zhao Xi lifted Father Fang’s clothes, gazing at the festering wound on his back, his frown deepened, “Your wound keeps festering and has become very severe.”
Father Fang’s heart tightened, “I, I know, Doctor Lu, please see if it can be treated, and if not, please don’t tell the two of them.”
He had no hope in his heart.
However, the next moment, he heard Zhao Xi say, “As long as I’m here, it can be treated, but it’s going to be very painful, you’ll need to endure it.”
