Chapter 44 That thing is in Ning Runxing’s hands

Su Shixia had never given birth to a child in her previous life, nor had she ever taken care of a child. She had no idea how hard it was to take care of a child.

It was only when she encountered that Xiao Qin Zhan was ill that she realized how difficult it was to be a mother.

Xiao Qinzhan's current condition is definitely not a pathological fever, and Su Shixia does not dare to give him random medication. He can only physically cool down, but the relief effect that physical cooling can have is limited.

Seeing that the child who was still alive and kicking now became as wilted as a flower that had been drained of water, Su Shixia felt her heart twitch.

"Zhan'er, don't worry, my mother won't leave, she'll be right here."

Su Shixia called him in a low voice while using special techniques to massage the acupuncture points on his head, hoping to stimulate his mind and help him wake up as soon as possible.

But no matter how hard she tried, even putting the scaring charm on him, the little guy still seemed to be possessed by a nightmare, kept talking nonsense, and the high fever never went away.

When Qin Yi came in, he saw Su Shixia put another fever-reducing patch on little Qin Zhan's forehead.

He saw that the fever-reducing patch was not an ordinary item, his eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't ask any more questions. He strode to the bed and asked in a deep voice: "How is the situation now? Has the fever not gone away yet?"

Walking closer, he saw that Xiao Qin Zhan's face had turned from red to white, and Qin Yi's brows also wrinkled.

"If it really doesn't work, you'd better go to the palace and ask for the imperial physician. The imperial physician's medical skills are still..."

"I don't doubt that the imperial doctor's medical skills are not good."

Su Shixia interrupted him directly.

Because she was worried about Xiao Qinzhan's condition, Su Shixia was really in a bad mood at the moment and was too lazy to talk politely to him.

"But I am a doctor myself. I can confirm that even if you invite all the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital, they will not be able to prescribe a prescription, because judging from the pulse, there is nothing wrong with Zhan'er's body at all."

"Is his health okay? Then he..."

"Shocking is the soul."

After Su Shixia responded, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked urgently: "Do you know where I can get a hundred-year-old thunder split wood?"

"A hundred years of thunder splitting wood?"

Qin Yi lowered his eyes and thought carefully for a while. After a while, he said in a strange tone: "Yes, there is, but... that thing is in the Ning family, and it should be in Ning Runxing's hands."

Ning Runxing had a lot of troubles when he was a child. It is said that his mother gave birth to him prematurely. He finally survived, but he was always sick, falling ill every three days.

When he was three years old, he went on an outing with his family in the countryside and met a crazy horse.

It is said that the crazy horse jumped directly over Ning Runxing's head, and the horse's hooves kicked Ning Runxing on the forehead. Ning Runxing fainted on the spot.

After being treated by the imperial doctor, his life was saved, but he was also frightened and suffered from convulsions and high fever.

In order to ward off disasters and soothe his nerves, the old man of Ning Mansion spent a lot of money to buy a piece of thunder split wood from a wandering Taoist priest.

It is said that the piece of wood is made of materials that are more than a hundred years old, and it is carved into the image of a Bodhisattva, which is particularly efficacious. After Ning Runxing got the lightning to split the wood, he never encountered any major disasters, and even his body got better.

I haven't had any serious illness every year.

"The Ning family regards that thing as precious and will never sell it, but if you just borrow it for a few days, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"My father had some friendship with Ning Xiang during his lifetime. When he arrived at Ning's house, I went to talk to Ning Xiang..."

It was already late at night, and the situation was urgent and the carriage was inconvenient. Qin Yi took Su Shixia directly to Ning Mansion on horseback.

The street was dark, with only a few lanterns hanging in front of the shops occasionally shining a faint light.

Su Shixia didn't bother to look, she just felt the cold wind in the winter night blowing on her face like a steel knife, irritating her skin.

Qin Yi's voice came from above her head, mixed with the rapid sound of horse hooves and the vibrating sound of his chest, making it seem ethereal and distant.

"No, I can talk to Ning Runxing myself, and he will agree to lend me the things."

Hearing Su Shixia's decisive tone, there was also a bit of resistance to him.

Qin Yi pursed his lips and did not respond. While tightening the horse's belly to speed up, he wrapped Su Shixia's body tightly with his cloak, "It's cold and windy. If you can't bear it, you can turn around and come closer."

Su Shixia could sense Qin Yi's actions of protecting her in his arms, and also knew that Qin Yi did have good intentions at this time.

But she only pursed her lips, did not respond, and did not turn her head. She only lowered her eyes and silently tightened the cloak on her body.

She, Su Shixia, doesn't need the sympathy and care that comes from these alms.

In the middle of the night, King Pingxi and Princess Pingxi suddenly rushed to the Ning family together, which really shocked the concierge of the Ning family.

The concierge turned around and was about to enter the house to report, but was stopped by Su Shixia.

"There's no need to alarm Ning Xiang and the others. I'm here to see Young Master Ning San. Please send him a message, saying that he was bitten by flying snow today. If he doesn't intervene in time, he may be infected with rabies."

"I have a way to prevent rabies. If he wants to be cured, just meet with me."

The statement about rabies really shocked Ning Runxing.

He was already asleep, but the words passed down by his servants frightened him so much that he suddenly woke up. He immediately changed his clothes and asked people to bring Su Shixia and others in.

When Su Shixia and Qin Yi rushed to the small courtyard where Ning Runxing lived, they heard the boy next to Ning Runxing talking to him about the rumors they had heard before they even entered.

"The old man who feeds horses in the backyard of our house, Liu Tou, once had a man infected with rabies in his hometown village. He said he was bitten by a mad dog, so he didn't pay much attention at first. Then within a few days, he suddenly started to be afraid of water.

He kept complaining about the cold and lost his consciousness."

"In the end, I felt like I was going crazy. I would bite people when I saw them with red eyes, which was scary. I heard Old Liu Tou said that the doctors have said that once you contract this disease, there is no cure, and you can only beat him to death.

! We can’t even keep the body, we have to burn it to ashes!”

Ning Runxing was so frightened that he quickly picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. He originally wanted to calm down the shock, but he was so burned that he almost dropped the cup.

"The symptoms of rabies are indeed similar to what your boy said."

Su Shixia walked into the room and said straight to the point without talking nonsense to Ning Runxing: "I can help you prevent this disease, but I have conditions."

"I want to borrow your century-old lightning-split wood statue."

"You are good at picking things."

Ning Runxing had obviously been burned by the hot tea just now, and now he was speaking with a bit of a tongue, but he still acted like a condescending young master.

"That thunder-splitting wooden statue is an heirloom of my Ning family. My parents have told me to keep it well and give it to my son and grandson in the future."

Su Shixia glanced at him coolly.

"If you are really infected with rabies, you won't be able to live for more than a few days, so you don't have to think about your children and grandchildren."
