Chapter 161: Out of Danger

Mu Yangling carried all the wine in the cellar back and placed it in front of Qi Xiuyuan. “See which jar of wine is the strongest.”

Qi Xiuyuan didn't ask why. He opened the seal and took a sip from each jar. After tasting every jar, he picked out a jar of wine for Mu Yangling.

Mu Yangling ran into the room and wiped Qi Haoran's palms and feet with a soft cloth. She said to Bai Li and the military doctor, “Come on, wipe his palms, feet, and armpits.” Mu Yangling sighed. “We can only try our best now.”

Qi Xiuyuan opened the door and entered. Shocked, Bai Li turned his gaze towards Pang Kongqing.

At this moment, Qi Xiuyuan could not care less. He walked to the side and picked up a piece of cloth to help wipe them. Fan Zijin also ran in. No one in the room spoke for a moment, and everyone quietly helped Qi Haoran cool down.

Although there was an unhappy incident, it had taken Mu Yangling less than ten minutes to run to the Hu family's house to get some wine. However, Qi Haoran's temperature seemed to have increased again, and there was even a cold handkerchief on his forehead.

Although Qi Xiuyuan and the others were still working hard, they didn't have much hope. The military doctor didn't know why they were using alcohol to lower his temperature. In his knowledge, alcohol was only used to disinfect and prevent inflammation. But now, he had no choice. Since Mu Yangling had found alcohol, he would do as he was told.

While things were busy over here, those in the main room could not fall asleep as well. Mu Shi was also having a fever at this moment and was lying weakly on the brick bed. Shu Wanniang looked out worriedly as she took care of him. Great-aunt was also sitting by the brick bed in a daze. Finally, she looked at the children lying on the brick bed and asked Mu Shi softly, “If Little General… will General blame us?”

Mu Shi shook his head. “General is not a narrow-minded person.”

Wiping her tears, Great-aunt said regretfully, “Little General is such a good child.”

When Mu Shi recalled Qi Haoran's expression when he stood in front of those children, he couldn't help but think of his daughter. Clenching his fists, he got up, lifted the blanket, and said, “I'll go over and take a look.”

Shu Wanniang pressed him down. “You'll only add to the trouble if you go over. Considering you can't even stand steadily, it's better for you to sit and wait. Ah Ling will take care of things over there.”

Mu Shi said with reddened eyes, “Wanniang, you don't know how beastly that person is. Those children are only seven or eight years old, and the youngest is only five or six years old—just a tad older than Bowen. It's not enough for him to torment those children himself. He even gave them to his subordinates when he was tired of playing with them. None of the children chosen by him walked out alive. If the one who met him back then was All Ling, then the one lying on the bed now will be… Let me go over and take a look.”

Shu Wanniang was shocked. She only knew that her husband seemed to have offended a big shot when he went out with the Little General, so they fled back after getting attacked. However, she did not expect that person to be so evil. Thinking of her daughter's character and way of handling matters, and remembering that Qi Haoran was only three years older than Ah Ling and was a child to begin with, she could not help but loosen her grip on Mu Shi's hand. Mu Shi got off the bed and walked out.

At this moment, the military doctor in the room was happily feeling Qi Haoran's temperature. In the end, he asked Qi Xiuyuan in a low voice with uncertainty, “Do you think his face is not as red as before?”

Mu Yangling turned to look at the hourglass and said in a low voice, “It's been more than a quarter of an hour. It should have some effect by now. Let Physician Pang take a look.”

After Qi Xiuyuan and Fan Zijin left, Mu Yangling helped Pang Kongqing over to take Qi Haoran's pulse.

With his eyes covered, Pang Kongqing took his pulse. After a long time, he let go. After hesitating for a long time, his nature as a doctor prevailed. “I need to see his face.”

Mu Yangling looked at Bai Li, who opened the door and went out. Qi Xiuyuan entered and stood behind Pang Kongqing. He said in a deep voice, “Take off his blindfold.”

Pang Kongqing's body stiffened. After his blindfold was removed, he still closed his eyes tightly. He did not even dare to look at Qi Haoran, let alone turn behind to look at Qi Xiuyuan.

With a soft chuckle, Qi Xiuyuan said gently, “Physician Pang, don't worry. Even if you see my brother's face, 1 definitely won't hurt you. However, I hope that you can forget everything that happened yesterday and tonight after leaving here tomorrow.”

Pang Kongqing nodded hurriedly. “Don't worry, hero. 1 won't remember anything when I wake up tomorrow morning.”

“Then Physician Pang, open your eyes and take a good look at my brother.”

Pang Kongqing carefully opened his eyes and glanced at Qi Haoran. Seeing that there were no abnormal signs, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He carefully looked at Qi Haoran's expression before opening Qi Haoran's mouth to look at his tongue. After a while, he opened Qi Haoran's eyes to look at his pupils. After knowing what was going on, he let go. Only then did he notice Qi Haoran's facial features.

Pang Kongqing had never seen Qi Haoran before. At this moment, he only felt that this person had sharp eyebrows, clear facial features, and even some cute baby fat on his cheeks. Even if such a child was not adorable enough to be loved by everyone, at least he would not be annoying. How could such a child be a little bandit?

Pang Kongqing shook his head in his heart. Without turning around, he looked at Qi Haoran and said, “His condition has improved, and his temperature is slowly decreasing.”

Although he had been blindfolded, he actually knew everything that had happened in the room. Coupled with the fact that the room was filled with the fragrance of wine, he naturally knew that they were using wine to lower his temperature. Taking into account his pulse, he estimated in his heart before saying, “Wipe him with wine once every 15 minutes. When the temperature drops a lot, wipe it once every half an hour.”

Seeing that he was so familiar with this, the military doctor said unhappily, “Since you know that wine can lower one's temperature, why didn't you mention it before?”

Pang Kongqing was stunned. “1 didn't know wine could lower the temperature.

I only found out after you used it.”

The military doctor suddenly did not trust him. If this was the first time he had seen it, how did he know that the patient should be wiped once every x minutes?

Mu Yangling looked at Pang Kongqing in admiration, feeling that this person was indeed impressive. She turned to Qi Xiuyuan and nodded slightly. Qi Xiuyuan glanced at the military doctor, and the latter immediately did not dare to question him anymore.

Qi Xiuyuan was still standing behind Pang Kongqing. “Thank you, Physician Pang. I'll definitely repay you in the future. 1'11 have to trouble you tonight. When my brother's fever subsides, I'll get someone to send you back.”

Pang Kongqing forced a smile and only heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the person behind him close the door after leaving. That person's presence was too strong. In comparison, Mu Yangling looked much cuter, even though he had been threatened by her before.

Although Pang Kongqing had already seen Qi Haoran's face, Bai Li still covered his eyes.

Mu Yangling, Qi Xiuyuan, and the others wiped Qi Haoran twice more. Only then did his temperature return to normal and his face no longer flushed.

Qi Xiuyuan asked Pang Kongqing to take Qi Haoran's pulse and confirm that he was out of danger. After he readily fulfilled the agreement, he was knocked out before being sent back in a carriage.

When Pang Kongqing woke up in the carriage and jumped down, he saw the bustling streets. In front of him was his own medicinal shop. He immediately felt that life was so wonderful after being reborn.

The shopkeeper came out and asked curiously, “Boss, why are you back so early? Didn't you say that you went to the mountains to pick herbs?”
