Old Uncle Qiu solemnly released the young boy’s hand, slightly leaning forward to check the boy’s eyelids, then bent down to listen to his heartbeat at his chest.
However, the boy’s eyes were bloodshot with red streaks, and his heart was beating irregularly, fast at times and slow at other times.
Pardon his poor sight...
He had never encountered such a pulse before.
Old Uncle Qiu sighed and gave up on proceeding with any treatment, just staring blankly at the boy’s clear and handsome features.
He hadn’t expected that the leader of the Seven-Person Team would also be such a young child, and moreover, a child suffering from a severe illness!
No wonder he had been staying inside the Horse Carriage and hadn’t shown himself.
Dragging such a sick body around, it was impressive enough that he was alive, let alone able to leave the Horse Carriage.
Seeing the child’s handsome and intelligent appearance, it really was like the ancient saying, "Heaven envies the talented!"
Old Uncle Qiu closed his eyes in frustration, reflecting on the cruelty of fate, and after a long while, he shifted his gaze to Xiao Chan and Rabbit.
Meeting their expectant and anxious eyes, Old Uncle Qiu felt somewhat ashamed.
"I am limited in my skills and knowledge, truly unable to diagnose what disease the young master has, nor do I have a solution."
A trace of disappointment crossed Rabbit and Xiao Chan’s eyes.
"Will he be alright then?"
Old Uncle Qiu really wanted to say that with such pulse signs, even if there’s nothing wrong today, tomorrow was unpredictable...
Heck, he didn’t know how the child had made it this far.
Thinking back to how Rabbit had just fetched a cup of water for Doctor Wang as he was leaving, Old Uncle Qiu was moved, thinking this act of kindness must have been the young boy’s in the Horse Carriage.
Old Uncle Qiu patted Rabbit on the head, unable to tell the harsh truth but offering comfort instead, "Don’t worry, his resilience is strong. He will definitely pull through."
"Really?" Rabbit’s eyes lit up again.
Old Uncle Qiu nodded.
Having survived until now without dying, wasn’t that a demonstration of strong resilience?
If he could hold on till they reached Biluo and found a proficient doctor, there might really be a miracle!
Just as Old Uncle Qiu was about to leave, he suddenly noticed the water bladder on the small table and was surprised.
Wasn’t this water bladder from his house?
Old Uncle Qiu paused for a moment, then turned to look at Rabbit again, this time recognizing something familiar in his face.
Wasn’t this child the one who had exchanged water with Miss Junjun?
The child had exchanged it for Miss Junjun’s Immortal Water!
If ordinary medicine might be ineffective for the youth before him, Immortal Water... perhaps it truly could save him!
Old Uncle Qiu perked up immediately and pointed to the water bladder, "Have him drink more of this water, it will definitely be helpful."
Rabbit nodded blankly, then after a while, looked down with regret, "But there isn’t much of this water left."
Today, their leader had drunk a cup, and a glint of understanding flickered in his eyes afterward. Then he had called his brothers in, offering each one a cup, plus the one for Doctor Wang, and now there were only about two or three cups left in the water bladder.
With not much water left, Rabbit hadn’t thought to give any to their leader.
Now that he had instructions from the doctor, Rabbit decided he would exchange the last egg they had with that girl for more water!
After all, the only clean-water that girl had was the morning dew.
The leader had mentioned before, drinking unclean water could lead to illness.
He couldn’t let his leader’s illness worsen!
While Rabbit was pondering this issue, two water bladders suddenly appeared before him.
He looked up puzzled, only to see Doctor Uncle warmly smiling at him.
"The water in these bladders is the same as that one."
This water was precisely what Miss Junjun had offered just a moment before.
Knowing that Miss Junjun still had another water bladder, Old Uncle Qiu felt no burden at all in offering it.
After all, water can be refilled, but a lost life cannot be brought back.
