Chapter 139: The Lamp is Running Out
Chapter 139: The Lamp is Running Out
By this time, the sky had completely darkened.
Originally, Jishiditang had been closed, but Doctor Min lived in the backyard of the hall, so he was able to knock on the door.
When Su Rongrong arrived, Su Qiaoqiao's eyes were red, and her gaze was fixed on Qi Jiaying who was unconscious on the bed.
Hearing footsteps coming from behind, Su Qiaoqiao turned and looked towards the door.
When she saw Su Rongrong, her tears started falling again.
"Sister——"
Su Rongrong didn't even have time to look at the shoulder blade. She knocked on the door and asked the medicine boy before coming over.
Seeing this, she asked, “How is mother doing?
And where is your sister Taoya?"
Su Qiaoqiao forced herself to calm down, then sobbed and said:
"Sister, Doctor Min said that Mom's condition is very bad and she is at the end of her life.
He also said that even if his mother took the best medicine, she could only live for one more year.
Of course, this is still the best case scenario.
Normally, it takes three to six months!"
Thinking of this, her heart felt like it was torn apart, and the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe.
She could imagine that if her eldest sister had not listened to her and asked Brother Zheng to come back in time, they might not have been able to find their mother.
Judging from my mother’s previous situation, she probably won’t survive this year.
There is no spiritual spring in Su Rongrong's space, and Baili Zheng's system does not have the various life-extending elixirs rewarded by the system in the novel.
So when she heard this, her body subconsciously softened and she fell to the ground.
Su Qiaoqiao continued, "Sister Taoya has a few wounds on her body. She is going with the doctor to apply medicated oil."
Then she hurriedly asked, "Sister, have you seen the wound on your body?"
Su Rongrong lost all her strength at that moment.
Hearing this, he forced himself to cheer up and shook his head: "Not yet!
It's okay for me. I'll ask the doctor to check it out and apply some medicine.
Qiaoqiao, you haven't eaten yet, I'll go out and buy you something to eat.
By the way, Doctor Min said, can mom move?
The eldest sister thought of bringing mother home to the house we rented.
This year, our family will spend the New Year in the county town!"
Regardless of whether they can find Jinhui or not, since they have found their mother, they have to celebrate the New Year in the county town.
Mother can’t go back to Sujia Village if she’s like this.
They couldn't explain to the villagers why their mother didn't die.
There is no way to explain where she has been these years.
The world is so unfair to women, even if it is not their fault!
Su Qiaoqiao's mind was full of her mother at the moment. Hearing this, she shook her head.
"Sis, I didn't ask! And, I'm not hungry!"
Su Rongrong struggled to stand up from the ground, "Then I'll go ask Doctor Min! Besides, you're still growing, you have to eat even if you're not hungry!"
This girl probably didn’t have lunch. It’s already dark now. How can she not eat?
While Su Rongrong was going out to ask Doctor Min about the situation, and then went out to buy food, Baili Zheng had already carried the person back to the yamen.
When he saw Baili Chen, he said directly: "Father, Qi Jiaying found it in the hands of these two people, please interrogate them carefully.
In addition, the patrol of the yamen runners should be strictly managed. My son waited for them from the time he fought with these two men to the end. "
When Baili Chen heard Qi Jiaying's name, he knew what was going on.
Hearing this, he went to interrogate the man himself without even looking at Baili Zheng.
He has confidence in his son!
As the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, if just two men can hurt him, he should be thrown back to the barracks and trained hard.
Don't think that by studying and taking the imperial examinations you can become a weak scholar.
Baili Zheng came out from his father's place and went to the backyard to find Wei.
When he saw the people, he said, "Mother, Rongrong's mother has been found. She has been sent to Doctor Min, and father is also interrogating her.
I think the situation is not good. Dahu, please help me go to other places to check on Jinhui. I want someone to go to Sujia Village to inform them. Please let Xiangyang go.
Also, Rongrong and the others haven't eaten all day, if there's any food at home, I'll send it over."
Wei was very concerned about Su Rongrong, the benefactor of her son.
Especially since this girl has good skills and I have a cooperative relationship with her.
At this moment, she didn't have time to ask any questions, so she quickly called Xiangyang and asked her to go to Sujia Village.
After Xiangyang left, she said, "Brother Zheng, it's getting dark now, and Xiangyang is the only one in the mansion whose cooking skills are decent.
If you don't mind, I'll have someone prepare some food and you can send it to Rongrong.
Also, even if you only have one big tiger by your side, it’s not enough.
How about calling Qixing back?"
Yes, as the prince of the Duke’s Mansion, Baili Zheng has Qixing besides Dahu.
The seven stars are: Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang.
These seven people, like Da Hu, have been with him since childhood and grew up together.
Because of family changes and Baili Zheng's coming here, the seven people were separated by him and sent to different places.
There are military camps in the southwest and northwest, and also in Kyoto.
Of course, one person was also left at the Duke's Mansion.
At this moment, Baili Zheng heard what his mother said, thought for a moment and said: "Then mother, please ask someone to make some pancakes and egg soup, and I will send it over in a while.
As for the Seven Stars, Tianji and Yuheng will send Xiaoyu and Jun Ge'er over after the New Year, and they will stay here as well."
Wei thought about it and realized that her daughter and the youngest child did need an escort.
Besides, the New Year is coming soon, so they can wait for the letter to reach the capital and then rush over, so there is actually not much difference in time.
In that case, let’s wait until after the New Year!
Sujiacun
Because Su Rongrong and Su Qiaoqiao were both gone, Su Manman was a little uncomfortable with this.
After dinner in the evening, she forced herself to calm down, took her needle and thread, and went to Qi Jianing's room.
In the morning, after my eldest sister went out, my aunt officially announced that her confinement period was over.
So, Su Manman decided to sleep with her aunt at night.
It’s just that both the aunt and nephew were a little absent-minded.
After sewing a few stitches, I started to get distracted.
When he came back to his senses, he continued sewing, but after a short while, he started to lose focus again.
This went on for about half an hour, and finally Su Manman simply put down her needle and thread.
"Aunt, why don't we take a rest first? I don't know what happened today and I can't concentrate at all.
Sometimes I wondered if something had happened to my mother, and sometimes I wondered if it was Jinhui.
As long as I close my eyes, I can seem to hear my mother shouting for help.
And Jinhui, who was skinny and starving, only had one breath left. He asked me to save him."
Qi Jianing was also uneasy, and put down the half-made clothes in her hands when she heard the words.
This dress was made for my eldest sister according to her own proportions.
She hoped that when her eldest sister came back, she could wear the clothes she made again.
It was just that she was fine in the past, but today she felt uneasy and this feeling made her a little restless.
