288. Chapter 288 He Won't Die, Will He?

"Doctor Feng, is there still hope for him?"

Qiao Lanhua had called Sòng Běitíng several times earlier, but he showed no reaction at all.

Feng Yi was disinfecting the silver needles while saying, "His condition is not good; I can only try my best. As for whether he can be saved, I can't say for sure right now."

"What in the world is going on!"

Lan Yue Niang sighed from the side.

Qiao Hushui, fearing Feng Yi would overthink, gave a simple explanation of Sòng Běitíng's background.

Actually, the poison from the Axe Gang isn't very strong, but Sòng Běitíng got too much of it in his eyes, mouth, and nose, so it turned out somewhat serious.

That was just then.

Qiao Sheng arrived.

She had come to bring fruit to Lan Yue Niang and the others.

These days she occasionally brought them some fruit, saying she bought it, but in fact she grew it in her space.

Qiao Lihua was guarding the shop outside; when Qiao Sheng asked where Qiao Hushui and the others had gone, she hesitated a moment but then told her.

After hearing her finish.

Qiao Sheng stepped toward the backyard; when she entered, Feng Yi was already administering acupuncture to Sòng Běitíng.

"Big sister, you're here."

Qiao Lanhua was the first to notice her.

When Qiao Hushui and the others saw Qiao Sheng arrive, they all came over.

Qiao Sheng smiled and said, "I've brought you some fruit."

Lan Yue Niang gave Qiao Sheng an annoyed glance and said, "You little girl, didn't I tell you not to bring any? We can buy our own……

Upon hearing that,

Qiao Sheng spoke at a leisurely pace.

"Mother, you know I have to give fruit to Xiao Shitou and the others every day; whenever I buy, I buy a lot, and mine is cheaper than yours. Besides, you're my family—who else would I give it to if not you? If you keep saying that, you're treating me like an outsider."

Lan Yue Niang didn't know what to say for a moment.

Qiao Xuehua chuckled and said, "Mother, since big sister means well, just accept it."

"Exactly."

Qiao Hushui said from the side.

Qiao Lanhua didn't speak, but she stood on their side.

Lan Yue Niang glanced at them and said, "You gluttons—whenever Lianhua brings fruit, you two eat the most."

Qiao Hushui coughed uncomfortably.

Qiao Lanhua also felt a bit embarrassed.

Qiao Xuehua, however, felt no embarrassment: "This isn't fruit bought by big sister; it's tastier than what we buy. Besides, Mother, we've saved some for you."

"Yes, yes…"

Lan Yue Niang had nothing left to say.

Qiao Sheng looked around, her gaze landing on Feng Yi's side, and asked, "Father, Mother, what on earth is going on?"

Qiao Hushui and the others told her the truth.

Qiao Sheng didn't leave right away; shortly after Feng Yi finished the acupuncture, she asked him, "Doctor Feng, can that man still be treated?"

Feng Yi raised his hand to wipe his sweat and said, "I've temporarily saved his life, but whether he can pull through depends on tonight. I'll prescribe three doses of medicine for him later; you take it back, decoct it, and give him one dose. If his condition worsens later, keep decocting and feeding him. To avoid delay, it's best to prepare it in advance and give it to him when he feels unwell…"

"He won't die, will he?"

Qiao Sheng stepped closer and asked in a low voice.

Her sudden approach made Feng Yi instinctively step back: "He should… he shouldn't die."

He had lived so many years and had never been this close to a woman before.

Qiao Sheng also realized her behavior was somewhat improper; as she was leaving with Feng Yi, she caught up to apologize: "Doctor Feng, I didn't mean to do that just now—I was just afraid my voice would be too loud and others would hear."(End of chapter)
