"Wanwan!"
Yun Shu and the others tried to stop her, but it was too late. The light of the mark appeared on Xu Wan's shoulder, signifying that the oath had been fulfilled.
Tu Lan was also stunned. She looked at Xu Wan and suddenly felt that the female in front of her was somewhat unfamiliar.
"You...you really can cure my child?"
There was no time to talk to her much. She nodded and looked at Yun Shu's beast husbands.
"Cheyu's father, please carry the person inside first."
"Father Lingji, please make a trip for me and have Hujiu and the others bring mugwort to me."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a bright red fox jumped down from the tree.
He walked up to her, lowered his head, and gently rubbed his palm against hers. "Wanwan."
Xu Wan was taken aback. "Hu Jiu? What are you doing here?"
Zhu You also came out, "I came to take you home."
"And Chen Shuang?" she was about to ask when a young man's voice came from afar, "Wanwan!"
The white wolf carried a large bundle of mugwort on its back, and transformed back into human form just as it was about to reach her.
The boy had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and although he was frowning from the smell of mugwort, he still smiled when he walked up to her.
"Wanwan, is this enough? If not, I'll go to the forest to pick more."
"That's enough." She squeezed his fingertips. "You've worked hard."
Without time to say more, she looked at Hu Jiu and Zhu You and began to assign tasks.
"Fox, light these mugwort leaves and use the smoke to treat the sores on his body."
"Zhuyou, can you make me a stone mortar and pestle for pounding medicine? I need to apply medicine to him."
After the two went their separate ways, Chen Shuang approached her, her tail swishing behind her. "Wanwan, what can I do?"
"I can do anything, really!"
Xu Wan reached out and pinched his cheek. "Then you and Zhu You can pound the mugwort together. I'll go in and take a look first."
"good!"
Chen Shuang's tail wagged happily behind her, making Xu Wan unable to resist reaching out and petting it.
"Little tail, I'll deal with you when we get back."
The tense atmosphere eased somewhat, but Yun Shu was still worried.
She took Xu Wan's hand, her voice filled with concern, "My dear child, just tell your mother what you need."
"Mother, Zhuyou and the others are helping me." She reached out and hugged Yunshu. "Don't worry, I'll be alright."
Inside the room, Tu Lan knelt by the bed. She didn't turn around when she heard her come in, and her voice was still tinged with sobs.
"Xu Wan, you swore an oath to the Ancestor that if anything happens to my child, I will not let you off!"
"Don't worry, I won't give you that chance."
She pointed outside, "Go outside now, I need to treat him."
After everyone left, she squatted down and carefully examined the child's condition.
"Master, I remember there's a Two Treasure Pill in the shop, specifically for treating boils."
[Yes, but host, your points... are insufficient.]
Xu Wan remained silent for a moment, then made a decision in her heart.
If I'm not mistaken, health points can be used as points, right?
Yes, but host...
Stop arguing, change it!
If she hesitates any longer, she will truly be reluctant to part with it.
In an instant, the blood flowing through her body seemed to be paused. This was the first time she had clearly felt life slipping away from her body.
Looking at the extra pills in her hand, she didn't hesitate, pried open the child's mouth and stuffed them in.
The pills melted in the mouth, and the child regained consciousness almost immediately.
The itching sensation on his body made him cry out, and he couldn't help but scratch himself.
"No, that won't do!"
Hearing the commotion, Zhu You and the other two rushed in immediately, "Wanwan!"
"Quickly, hold his hands down so he doesn't touch the boils on his body."
Xu Wan took out a dagger from the animal skin bag, but before she could have Hu Jiu sterilize it with fire, she was suddenly shoved from the side.
My arm slammed against the stone wall, and a burning pain shot through me.
Tu Lan stood between her and the child, her face wary. "He's awake. Why did you kill him?"
Xu Wan endured the pain and looked at Tu Lan, who was blocking her way.
"Look back," she said, raising her chin. "His boils are still there. If you don't find a way to treat them, do you want him to become like this again?"
She raised her hand and pointed the dagger at the doorway.
"If you don't believe me, you can take him away anytime. But let me make this clear: if you come begging to my mother again, I'll throw you out!"
Tu Lan was stunned by the coldness in her tone, and stammered out, "I...I want to stay here and watch."
"Whatever."
Xu Wan ignored her. After disinfecting the dagger with the fire of the fox spirit, she walked to the bedside and squatted down without turning her head.
"Chen Shuang, if he continues to struggle, knock him unconscious."
"Xu Wan!"
Tu Lan was so angry that her eyes turned red, but she was afraid that she would say something wrong and let this wicked female hurt her cubs.
Her hand trembled as the knife tip was aimed at the largest abscess.
Behind her, Tu Lan gasped softly, then covered her mouth to stifle the sound.
Xu Wan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
She doesn't have much time left; if she doesn't hurry, she'll be the one to die.
As the sword cut open and pus flowed out, she tilted her head slightly before moving on to the next patient.
The number of festering sores gradually decreased.
There were also some that hadn't become infected, and she was afraid of hurting the child, so she only had Zhuyou apply crushed mugwort to them, which also had an anti-inflammatory effect.
The child's crying gradually stopped.
Perhaps due to exhaustion, he slowly fell asleep, emitting soft snores.
"...Alright." After the pus had drained, Xu Wan put the dagger aside, her voice slightly weak.
"Chen Shuang, go get some water. I want to use a clean animal hide to wipe him clean."
"Wanwan, I'll take care of it. You go out and rest for a while."
There is a difference between male and female, even if the other person is a child.
Xu Wan nodded, and when she stood up, it felt like she was walking on cotton.
Seeing her come out, Yun Shu, who had been waiting outside, immediately went to greet her, "My dear, how did it go?"
She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mother, everything is alright now."
Seeing how exhausted she looked, Yun Shu felt a pang of heartache. "And you? How are you?"
"I'm fine too." She hugged Yun Shu. "Really, you should go and rest first, otherwise I'll worry about you too."
After she had coaxed the people away, she leaned against the wall, closed her eyes, and let out a sigh of relief.
I was already very tired, and it felt like I was about to faint at any moment.
But she didn't want Yun Shu to worry, so she took three beauty and health pills before coming out, and was now relying on the effects of the medicine to keep going.
The store points have been cleared, and there are only 90 minutes left to live.
[Tongzi, next time the store offers some discounts, I'm broke before I even got rich.]
The system was clearly more anxious than she was.
[The application has been submitted and the report has been sent to the main system!]
Hearing him say that, Xu Wan curled the corners of her lips.
[Then next time, could you increase the treasure chest drop rate to 100%?]
[Host! What time is it? How can you still be in the mood for jokes?]
His good host! Does she even know that she only has an hour and a half left to live?!
Xu Wan sighed and opened her eyes to look at the moon in the sky.
[Tongzi, life is short. Especially in times like these, you should try to be happy, otherwise you'll die a heartbroken ghost, how awful!]
Three footsteps sounded behind her. "Wanwan, everything's ready."
She nodded, took a step forward, and let herself fall into the nearest embrace.
"All three of you, hold me while you sleep," she instructed with her last ounce of consciousness. "Don't let go, don't..."
"Wanwan!"
