Chapter 692: 479 suddenly saw the light_2
“She’s inside; I need to speak with them,”
Yuan Ergu went directly into the room and saw Xiaofeng indeed inside. He smiled and said, “Miss, I heard you were here and came especially to see you.”
“That’s right. Last time didn’t you say your elder brother had your man heal someone? I wanted to ask if your man could take a look at my family’s fool. Whether he can heal her or not, it doesn’t matter; I can accept either outcome. Naturally, it would be best if he could. If he can’t, well, we just maintain her current state.” That fool used to be so clever and cute, but now her intelligence is almost the same as a three- or four-year-old child.
He’s alive now, able to look after her. But if one day he’s gone too, what will become of the fool, who will take care of her.
Originally he had not thought this way, but seeing that Xiangxiang’s dad’s serious injuries had been healed, he started thinking about it.
So he decided he’d give it a try.
What if there’s hope.
Xiaofeng hadn’t expected them to come to her before she went to them. It was good this way, so she could openly take them back to the Gu Family.
“Yuan Ergu, you’re quite lucky,” Xiaofeng laughed as she heard his words: “My man, due to an accident that happened before, was not convenient for meeting guests. But recently, his spirits have been good, and he’s willing to see patients now. If you trust my words, I can take you all to see him.”
Before heading to the Gu Family’s place, she had to get the fool to eat the Revival Herb first. Only then would Yecheng have a better grasp of her condition.
“That’s really great.” As long as there was a possibility of a cure, he’d go anywhere: “Shall we follow you later?”
“This afternoon. We still have to stay in the factory for a while to see how things are progressing here.” Of course, it’s impossible to come and then leave immediately.
“Okay, why don’t you come to my home for lunch?” Yuan Ergu invited.
“Ergu, no need, we are not two people, there are many of us. The factory will arrange it,” Xiaofeng declined: “Don’t worry, I have promised you, so I will surely take you there. But I can’t guarantee whether he can be healed or not.”
“It’s okay; we always have to try when there’s hope.”
After getting a affirmative response from Xiaofeng, Yuan Ergu said he would wait at the factory gate in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, Xiaofeng handed the fool a bag of snacks: “Fool, here, this is for you.”
The fool looked at Xiaofeng with a silly smile and uttered two sounds, “Ah, ah.”
“The fool likes you,” Yuan Ergu translated for the fool.
Her own age wasn’t much different than the fool’s, but the other had experienced what ordinary people had not, suffering damage to her throat and brain nerves.
What Xiaofeng gave the fool was a biscuit, which she had just tampered with, sprinkling on top some powder ground from the Revival Herb. As long as the fool ate the biscuit, it meant she’d also consumed the Revival Herb.
The fool really liked the biscuits Xiaofeng gave her, eating several in one go.
“Sir, today Su Xiaofeng and Dragon King were seen together again; they went to the place that had the commotion last time. When they came out, our people saw them, they looked so happy, they were almost hand in hand. Oh, and they brought back an idiot, said to be a fool girl from that village. Su Xiaofeng said it was to help bring her to the old Gu to have a look. Sir, isn’t Su Xiaofeng crazy, bringing just anyone before Old Gu, as if Old Gu were a doctor or something.”
“You’ve been with her for so long, and yet it seems you still don’t understand her. She’s winning people’s hearts, you see. Imagine for a moment, if she actually heals that fool girl’s illness, wouldn’t the fool girl’s master be grateful to her? In doing so, the villagers nearby would cause less trouble for the factory, reducing many of her worries.”
“That makes sense, but she really doesn’t consider herself an outsider, daring to bring anyone to the Gu Family. She’s not afraid that someone will take advantage of this and harm the Gu Family,” Feifei muttered.
The Wolfman’s eyes flickered: “Having this kind of ‘pen’ might not be a bad thing; for us, it’s also an opportunity.”
“Sir, what do you mean?”
“Nothing, I must’ve misunderstood.”
Old Gu checked the fool girl’s pulse, then looked at her throat, telling Yuan Ergu, “Judging from her pulse, there’s nothing wrong with her brain. It’s her throat that’s more severely injured. To recover her voice might be difficult; perhaps it’s impossible to restore it.”
Her throat had been injured for too many years, almost losing the possibility of recovery.
Listening to Old Gu’s words, pain filled Yuan Ergu’s eyes: “It’s all my fault; if it weren’t for me, her throat wouldn’t have become .”
