Time Travel Adventure

Chapter 289 Ling Lingxu is not good

"Dizzy?" I felt like I had heard it wrongly. Is that it?

"You seem very disappointed. Is this not enough?" Nannan looked at my disappointed expression, a little puzzled.

I really feel like I've watched too many romance dramas. Shouldn't poison be used at a time like this? At the very least, shouldn't the poison accumulate day by day and lead to death?

"This headache is really uncomfortable. Besides, the person who gave me the medicine probably didn't want to hurt anyone." Nannan moved her butt to my side.

"Well, it seems, let me think about it, by the way, is there any room for development of this cigarette?" This is what I think of when I talk about cigarettes.

"Room for performance?"

"It's like there can be some special effects, such as different colors of smoke, or something like that?" After giving Nannan this hint, Nannan seemed to know something and disappeared in a flash.

It seems that the person who drugged the patient didn't want to hurt anyone's life, so why did he do this? He was rocking in the rocking chair and almost fell asleep.

I felt like someone was blocking my view, and when I opened my eyes I saw an expressionless and somewhat pale female face. Isn't this Lingling?

"What are you doing!" I was really scared. Lingling has lost a lot of weight recently. I didn't recognize her at first sight. How come the playful little girl next door has become a female ghost now?

Lingling seemed to have reacted. She took several steps back and bowed to me. I couldn't understand what was going on. She bowed so reluctantly and her movements were as slow as an old lady.

I quickly went over to help her up, and pulled her to sit aside. This girl still refused, but she was too thin to hold me up, so I pressed her down on the stool.

"Why are you so thin? Let me see your hand." Lingling reacted very slowly and did not move for a long time. Seeing this, I directly grabbed her arm.

I simply touched it twice. I am not a professional, so I can only feel it briefly. "Are you trying to kill yourself?"

Upon touching him, I could hardly feel his pulse due to his deficiency of Qi and blood. "This won't do, little guy, little guy!"

"Miss, I'm here."

"Go and get Doctor Wang." I told her to hurry up. Looking at Lingling's expression, I couldn't help but blame myself. It was all my fault. Forgetting that I was pregnant was the most torturous thing. I've been so busy lately.

The little guy should have noticed something when he was stewing the fish. I sat back and asked Lingling in a much gentler voice what she wanted from me.

"I, I want to see the young master." Lingling said this with empty eyes, as if she was a walking corpse, being controlled to speak.

"Master? Are you talking about Shen Jing?"

"Yeah." Lingling's definite answer gave me a headache. I didn't know where this guy had gone.

Just when I didn't know how to answer, the little guy came with the breathless Doctor Wang. Doctor Wang was nearly sixty years old, and it was really hard for him to run.

"Miss, why did you call me here?" Doctor Wang stopped and asked me. I pointed at Lingling, and he sat in my seat.

"Miss, do you mind if I examine you directly?"

Lingling didn't respond, but just stretched out her hand. Doctor Wang took out a small pillow from the medicine box and placed it under Lingling's wrist. He then began to stroke his long gray beard with one hand and feel Lingling's pulse with the other.

This might take a while, so she called the little one aside and said, "Lingling, how are you doing recently? This is not a normal reaction to pregnancy. You are so skinny that you are just a skeleton."

The little guy looked at Lingling and then at me, looking very conflicted. "You said, as long as I'm here, no one will do anything to you."

"Miss, I always feel that this, no, Sister Lingling is very strange to this child." The little guy told me somewhat embarrassedly.

"Strange? How do you mean?" I don't quite understand this word. What does it mean?

"Sister Lingling sometimes touches her belly, and she feels full of maternal love, as if she is carrying a rare treasure in her belly. But sometimes she uses a cloth strip to hold her belly. I have found out several times that she can't eat now, and she doesn't eat on her own."

"Oh? Is that so? I understand." This is really strange. If he likes it, then he likes it, and if he doesn't like it, then he doesn't like it. Why does he keep doing this for a while? Is there something wrong with his brain?

When he went back to see her, Doctor Wang was asking Lingling something, but Lingling didn't say a word. She just nodded or shook her head, which gave Doctor Wang a headache.

I asked the little guy to take Lingling back first. When Lingling and I passed by each other, Lingling grabbed my arm and looked at me with pleading eyes. I didn't know what to do for a while.

It seemed like the first time someone had given me this kind of look, "Don't worry, I won't ignore you. Go back first, I'll come find you later."

After saying this, Lingling finally let go of her hand with relief and followed the little guy back obediently. I turned around and sat next to Doctor Wang.

"What's the situation?" Seeing Doctor Wang frowning, my heart tightened.

"Hey, miss, this girl must have had poor health since she was a child. She just got pregnant and refuses to eat or drink, but the fetus in her belly has been sucking adults. If nothing is done, sooner or later she will die."

I asked Doctor Wang to prescribe some tonic medicine and asked someone to go and get it. I was really having a headache now. I couldn't find Shen Jing, but I thought of Master Xiao.

He must know something. Even if he doesn't know where Shen Jing is, he can comfort Lingling and let her take care of the baby.

Thinking about it this way, it was Master Xiao who took the initiative to find me. I really didn’t know how to find him. Speaking of Master Xiao, I thought of Manxianglou. “By the way, if I want to get the pastries done.”

When I stopped by Manxianglou, I checked to see if Master Xiao was there and started busying myself. I only put the pastries in order after he came back with the medicine.

I ordered someone to boil the medicine, went out for a while, and came back soon. I put on my bamboo hat and walked towards the direction of Manxianglou. When I reached the entrance of the alley, I closed my eyes and thought.

When I saw the back door of Manxianglou, I pushed it gently and the door opened. I saw that the old seat was empty, so I put the things in skillfully.

After that, I waited at the door for a long time. I was afraid that Master Xiao would not find me, so I showed up and stayed at the door. Now I saw the sun was counting the time, and the medicine was almost done.

"Are you looking for me?" I'm really immune to this kind of thing. Why does Mr. Xiao always come out from behind? He can't scare anyone to death.

"I wasn't looking for you." I was still a little unhappy because I was scared, so I deliberately said something to him.

"Then what are you doing at the gate of Manxiang Tower?" Master Xiao pointed in the direction of Manxiang Tower, his eyes filled with confusion.

"When did you see me?" The guy said this and felt like he was being fooled.

"It's been a while." Master Xiao put his hands behind his back, half raised his head to look at the sky, thought for a while and said to me.

"Then why didn't you come and call me?" When I thought about how I was pacing back and forth at the door just now, I was afraid of being seen, so I walked for a while before coming back, like a fool.

"What if you're not looking for me? That would be so embarrassing." Master Xiao waved his hands to express his helplessness.

"Then why are you asking me now?" I pointed at the ground and questioned him. Why was he the same as me in elementary school? Sooner or later, he would get breast hyperplasia due to anger, and I didn't know if this disease could be cured in this era.

"You're about to leave, so I came to ask you what's wrong." This guy even tilted his head to act cute.

This guy was rendered speechless. I rolled my eyes and wanted to leave, but when I thought of Lingling’s pitiful appearance, I stopped.

"I'm just looking for you. I have something to discuss with you. Where is Shen Jing?" I didn't want to communicate much with this person, so I decided to get straight to the point. I wanted to know where Shen Jing was.

"Then shouldn't we ask Mr. Shen's wife?" Mr. Xiao was joking with me, his eyes wandering around as he answered me.

"You can't even fool a fool, do you think you can fool someone as smart as me?" Oh, that's not right. Why does it feel like I'm scolding myself?

"I'm kidding you, hahaha, I don't know either. When the young master looks for me, I'll be there. How could I know his whereabouts?" Master Xiao was quite sincere when he said this.

This didn't seem to be unreasonable. I pouted and decided to try another approach. "What is the relationship between you and Lingling?"

"Lingling? It's okay." Master Xiao mentioned this name as if it was unfamiliar to him. After recalling it, he clearly remembered it, but he still said that he didn't know it.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know her. When she dies, I will definitely ask you to come for a drink." Only a fool would believe that it didn't matter. At that time, Master Xiao treated Lingling differently.

"Death, what death? What happened to her? Ah, um, cough cough." Young Master Xiao didn't feel anything at first, but when he talked about death, he became a little impatient. Later, he realized his loss of composure and coughed lightly.

"Oh, not just one, but two lives were lost. I don't know if the resentment will be very big." He found that Master Xiao still attached great importance to Lingling's life and death, so he pinched him hard.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Young Master Xiao stopped pretending and looked me straight in the eyes, wanting to know what I was thinking.

"She is in a bad mood and wants to see Shen Jing. You go and see her." He also had selfish motives. He remembered these words silently in his heart several times. Even if Shen Jing was reluctant again, he wanted to let Master Xiao go first. After all, she was his brother-in-law's lover. How pitiful she was.

"Let's go." Master Xiao walked in front of me and took me towards his home.

I think there's hope. This guy seems very confident that the problem can be solved. It shouldn't be a big issue.

When he was almost at the door, he panicked and found that Master Xiao had disappeared. He was not in a hurry. Just as he walked near his yard, the little guy came with the medicine soup.

"Miss, the medicine is just right."

"Let's go." I nodded and walked towards Lingling's room. When I got near the room, I stopped and looked at the flowers and plants in the small courtyard.

If I remember correctly, this yard was barren before, with nothing in it. "Miss, Sister Lingling and I planted these, and I bought the seeds."

Seeing me stop and look at the flowers in the yard, the little guy hurried forward to explain, "They are planted very beautifully, let's go in."

I pushed the door open and as soon as I entered, I smelled a faint smell of medicine. I frowned and asked the little guy what it was.

"It's a calming incense. Sister Lingling used to pinch her stomach all the time. I asked Sister Hongdou for the calming incense, and it worked very well." Hongdou? Why haven't I heard Hongdou mention this before?

When I got inside, Lingling was lying quietly on the bed with her eyes closed. I touched the medicine and it was very hot, just the right temperature. "You go out first. I have something to say to her. If someone comes, help me stop them and let me know."

The little guy put down the medicine, closed the door and went out. I looked at Lingling on the bed and asked, "Don't you want this child?"

I was sure that this guy was not asleep. As soon as I said this, Lingling opened her eyes and looked at me. There was confusion, incomprehension and helplessness in her eyes.

"The child is with you, you can decide for yourself. You are still young now, you should take good care of yourself later, but you can't do it now." He took out a pot of medicine from his arms, shook it in front of Lingling, and then put it away.

My series of actions also made Lingling on the bed react in her eyes. She moved her body, but was too weak and lay back down.

"If you eat this now, you might as well drink poison. Your body is in such a state now. No matter what, take care of yourself and keep the food in your stomach for later use. How do you think?"

Looking at Lingling's reaction, she really didn't want this child. Lingling's eyes began to look empty again, as if she didn't hear me.

I opened the window and said, "If you don't come in now, do you want me to invite you?" As soon as I finished saying this, Master Xiao jumped down from above and appeared at the window.

"If you still have the intention, don't scare her. It's more important to take good care of yourself. Go in." As he said that, Master Xiao turned over and went in. I turned out and gave them a few winds by the window.

There wasn't much noise inside, and I felt a lot better as I looked at the sunny and windy sky.

When the window opened, I saw Master Xiao standing there with no expression on his face. "Thank you. I'll take care of her for a while."

After Master Xiao finished speaking, he climbed through the window and disappeared. When I went in, the soup bowl on the table was empty. I didn’t know if it was my illusion, but I felt that Lingling on the bed seemed to be better.

The faint breathing sound indicated that he had fallen asleep, so I carefully exited. When the little guy saw me coming out, he quickly came up and took the bowl from my hand, eagerly wanting to see what was going on inside.

"She's asleep. It's okay. Don't stop giving her the medicine. Deliver meals as usual and let her rest for a while." I said and left. The little one was obviously much happier when she heard this.

Lingling is also very patient. She came to find me when she was almost dying. If it had been a little later, I would have been afraid that she would be beyond help. I would have left with a sigh, thinking about what Master Xiao had said.
