Secular Martial Arts of 1434

  "Good", she said resolutely, then gestured for her to take a look at the happy little sister in her arms.

  Walking up to him, the Bharatanatyam dancer looked at the person in his arms and smiled lightly, "What's wrong with her? You've brought her here?"

  Pretending not to have caught the underlying meaning in her words, Xuan Yuan Lie's face was stern as he said, "Tuberculosis." His tone was light and casual, as if this were not a deadly disease, but just a minor cold.

  In the basin, she washed her hands and laughed lightly in a dance-like manner. "Aren't you afraid that Xiaoyu will pass it on to you, and in the end, you'll both go see King Yan together?"

  Mu's face turned wooden, Xuan Yuan Lie remained silent.

  She knew she was uninteresting, so she turned around, her eyes indicating that he should put Xi Mei on the bed. Yan Wu stood at the head of the bed, lifted up a corner of her clothes and observed what she called 'heavenly flowers'.

  After a while, a faint laugh suddenly came from the quiet house.

  Taking a big step forward, Xuan Yuan Lie's eyes were filled with undisguised anger, "What's going on?"

  The woman opposite smiled and said, "You're really still a child, coming to me for something as common as acne, don't you think it's a waste of my skills?"

  "What is smallpox?" Xuan Yuan Lie, who had been crawling on the battlefield for years, didn't know what smallpox or measles were. He only knew that if you gave him a knife, he could kill people.

  "I guess the doctor you found earlier saw her rash and thought it was smallpox, without even considering chickenpox." He looked puzzled.

  She demonstrated to him, "The blisters of smallpox and chicken pox are different. The ones on the chicken pox are white and transparent, while those on the smallpox have pus."

  Xuanyuan Lie finally understood, it must be that the doctor was afraid of death and didn't diagnose clearly before making a conclusion, which really made them panic for a moment.

  Looking at the changing expression on his face, Mantra's dance resumed its original calm tone and said: "The rest doesn't need me to take action, you can go back and find a doctor as you like."

  The flickering candlelight made it impossible for him to see her expression clearly.

  "Alright, if nothing's wrong, then take your little wife and go back." The master gave him a glance and ordered him to leave.

  He strode over to the bed, rolled the little girl back into her original position, and then picked her up and carried her out of the house.

  I didn't expect them to come out so quickly, and two people outside took big steps to welcome them.

  Looking at the 'cocoon' in his arms, Gu Zhi anxiously asked, "What's going on? Did she say there's a way to save her?"

  Xuanyuan Lie stopped in his tracks and glanced at the house in the distance, saying, "It's just chickenpox, go back and find another doctor."

  Not giving them time to think, Xuan Yuan Lie's long legs took a stride and he boarded the horse carriage.

  Leaving the two of them stunned in the snow, what does this mean? It seems they were both played by that quack doctor. No wonder Young Master's face looked so awful.

  With a wry smile, the two of them exchanged a glance and hurriedly drove the horse carriage in the direction they came from.

  It was already dawn when the horse carriage finally returned after a tumultuous night.

  The road was still quiet, after getting off the horse carriage, Xuan Yuan Lie carried Xi Mei and headed towards his residence.

  Seeing him like this, Xu Peifeng was shocked. My lord, are you really planning to make the crime of abduction and trafficking stick?

  Rushing forward, he blocked his path, ignoring the cold gaze from his master and said with a sweat, "Young Master, you've gone the wrong way. Xi Mei's house is on the opposite side, that's our home."

  Thus, three people, no, four people, were stuck in the snowy ground for half a day.

  Just as he thought he was about to freeze to death, the person in front of him moved. He saw that he had turned around and was really walking towards Chen's house.

  Wiping away a cold sweat, Xu Peifeng thought to himself that the thoughts of this young master were becoming increasingly incomprehensible. It was often said that women's thoughts were hard to guess, but in his opinion, this youngster's thoughts were equally difficult to grasp.

  This time, Xuan Yuan Lie didn't let the burden of holding Xi Mei affect him. He still jumped up and landed steadily on the wall inside.

  The footprints of several people from last night had been covered by the heavy snow, and several people walked into the yard, walking to the house they left last night.

  The little girl with a red face was put on the bed, and Xuan Yuan Lie walked out without looking back.

  Huh? Xu Peifeng looked at his master walking away so effortlessly and was once again perplexed, what was the meaning of this new development?

  "Go." After everything in the house returned to normal, Gu Zhi called out softly from outside the door.

  "Ah, here it is." After glancing around in a circle and seeing nothing out of the ordinary, Xu Peifeng quietly exited.

  Walking into the courtyard and standing beside Gu Zhi, he asked in puzzlement, "Gu Ge, the young master has already left, why aren't you leaving?"

  At this time, Gu Zhi smiled and looked at him, changing the subject, saying: "Xiao Feng, how is Ge treating you?"

  Xu Peifeng was puzzled, but still honestly replied: "Does this need to be said? Of course Gu Ge treated me well."

  "That's good, now I'm entrusting a task to you, Brother Gu." He said with a pat on his shoulder.

  Hearing him say so, he didn't take it seriously and knew that Xiao Yatou was fine, he completely let out a sigh of relief.

  Waiting for his own brother to give him instructions now.

  He readily agreed, and Gu Zhi said with a smile: "That's good, you see we've been in and out all night, this yard is full of footprints, anyone with eyes can tell..."

  Nothing else was said, and he stuffed the broom into his hand. Gu Zhi shook his head and walked to the corner of the wall.

  Carrying forward his unconventional style, he jumped out of the Chen family in one leap.

  Only Xu Peifeng was left standing alone on a cold day, staring at the broom in his hand, wanting to cry but unable to shed tears.

  After being busy for more than half a day, the rooster's crowing sound has already appeared outside. Gradually, the street is slowly becoming lively. Listening carefully, it seems that there are also joyful firecracker sounds coming from not far away.

  Let me count, there are still two days before the New Year, no wonder it's so lively.

  This happy sister is also like this, why can't she get sick at any other time, but just has to be these two days, making all these people rush around in a flurry.

  While holding the broom and sweeping seriously, the door creaked open with a "creak", and Chen Tianfa walked out of the room with his eyes dazed.

  Seeing a big living person standing in the yard, Chen Tianfa was startled and didn't calm down until he saw it was Xu Peifeng. He then put down his hanging heart and asked in confusion, "Peifeng, what are you doing here?"

  Xu Peifeng threw the broom aside and scratched his head, saying "Ah, I just got here, wanted to see what's going on with you, it was quite chaotic last night."

  As soon as this was mentioned, Chen Tianfa's face changed color, and it could be seen that he had made someone think of something unpleasant again. However, he couldn't help but want to go forward and tell them that Xi Mei was fine, and that it was all nonsense spoken by that incompetent doctor.

  But it can't be said that once you've said everything, all is revealed, and sweeping the yard in the morning was all for nothing.

  He patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, Xi Mei will be fine."

  Chen Tianfa looked up at him and sighed, then gazed at the thing by his feet in confusion, saying: "What's this..."

  "Oh, this... I came over early in the morning and your gate wasn't locked, so I helped you sweep it first." Stammering, he somehow managed to cover up his lie.

  Chen Tianfa was also very flustered last night, his mind was filled with the news that Xi Mei couldn't survive, how could he still think about whether the door was locked or not.

  Chen Tianfa smiled gratefully at him and said, "It's all right, you can go back now."

  After finishing speaking, he hastily walked towards the kitchen.

  Xu Peifeng opened his mouth, then dejectedly dropped the hand that was about to grab him and turned around to walk out the door.

  Just as he was about to step across the threshold, he almost got knocked down by a figure rushing towards him.

  But with his build, who could knock him down? On the contrary, the person in front of him almost got knocked down by him, and he quickly pulled himself up with both hands.

  "Sorry......" He looked up and found it was Rui Xuan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

  Obviously, Rui Xuan didn't expect it to be him either, and he was also taken aback. However, afterwards, he smiled apologetically at him and ran quickly into the courtyard.

  "Dad, Mom, I'm back." Rui Xuan shouted as soon as he entered the yard.

  It's all his fault. After the academy was closed for holidays, he had to follow Master Fu to a nearby town. If it wasn't for receiving a letter from the Zhang family, he wouldn't have known that something big happened at home!

  Chen Tianfa, who heard his voice, came out of the kitchen in surprise and saw his son who had not been home for a long time. He did not show joy, but instead scolded, "Who allowed you to come back? Leave quickly."

  One child has already fallen ill and we can't afford to have another one fall ill. So the top priority is to send him away.

  Unfortunately, although Rui Xuan looks weak and feeble, once he decides on something, nothing can change his mind.

  He stood firmly in the middle of the courtyard and said to Chen Tian, "Dad, I'm the eldest son of our family. Whatever happens, I'll face it with you!"

  Just as the two were at a stalemate, a commotion was heard from outside the door.

  "What's going on?" They exchanged a glance with each other, and Chen Tianfa also didn't bother about his stubborn eldest son, quickly walking towards the door.

  As I walked up to the threshold, I was met by Zheng and an old man with a white beard.

  "What?" Chen Tian asked in puzzlement.

  Zheng supported the old man as they walked forward, explaining to him along the way, "I thought about it all night and couldn't believe that Xǐmei had contracted that illness, so I asked Wang Zihang to come and invite you over last night."

  This old man is an old friend of her father's. If it weren't for the sake of his own father's reputation, he wouldn't have invited him out.

  "What are you still dazing about? Quickly take Old Master to see Xi Mei!" Zheng Shi yelled at him.

  "Oh, this way, please." Chen Tianfa finally reacted and bowed to invite him.

  To be honest, he didn't believe that Xi Mei would get that kind of illness either, so he quickly supported the old man and brought him to Xi Mei's house.

  As soon as he entered the house, he saw Zhao's wife sitting on Xi Mei's bed, secretly crying.

  Tsk tsk, look at these careless parents, their own daughter has been taken out for a spin and they're still completely unaware.

  No time to explain to Zhao, supporting the trembling old man to sit down, watching him close his eyes and take Jiemei's pulse.

  Then, she flipped her eyelids and the blisters on her arms.

  After a while, he stroked his beard and laughed, "Haha, what kind of heavenly flower is this? It's clearly just chickenpox. Don't worry, all kids go through this, it's nothing to be concerned about."

  To put it in a nutshell, everyone in the house had different expressions, but they were all extremely delighted!

  Zhao Shi Meng rushed forward and grabbed his sleeve, asking incredulously: "Really, really just water boils?"

  After getting a positive answer, Zhao's eyes were filled with tears again...
