Chapter 005: Little Man

The little dumpling is about five years old, with a dirty little face and a pair of big bright and stubborn eyes. Due to anxiety, his long eyelashes are still wet with mist.

He squeezed through the crowd and pounced towards Ye Ran, shaking her legs, "Mother, the moon is sick again..."

Ye Ran remembered, after eating the pastries given by Li Chunhua, Xing'er and Yue'er lost consciousness.

The drugs in the pastries did not cause any fatal harm to Xing'er, but Yue'er has always had a heart condition.

The pastries laced with drugs were a double blow to Yue'er, who had a heart condition.

Ye Ran's heart trembled, and in her urgency, she grabbed Xing'er and ran.

Xing'er's legs were short, how could he keep up with Ye Ran's pace?

Yue'er's condition couldn't be delayed, so Ye Ran simply squatted down, carried the little guy on her back, and ran along the lakeside.

Although Xing'er was small, he was stubborn and insisted on acting like a little adult, wanting to walk on his own.

Twisting and turning on Ye Ran's back, he refused to cooperate until Ye Ran gave him a pat on his bottom, then the little guy obediently lay still on her back.

Yin Tian looked at Ye Ran and her son leaving, feeling a little dazed.

Yin Lao Ye and Yin Song, who were standing together with Zhou Zec, saw Yin Tian's expression and found it strange. It was the first time he had shown interest in another woman besides the woman with extraordinary medical skills in the capital.

"Which villager is willing to make a trip to find a doctor for the silly girl's child?"

Yin Lao Ye took out a piece of silver, and soon someone volunteered to take the silver and find the doctor.

He lightly patted Yin Tian's shoulder, "It's not easy for a widow with a child, go and take a look."

Ye Ran ran wildly with Xing'er on her back, turned onto the mountain path by the lake, and entered the dilapidated cave where they lived.

Yue'er, with a pair of braids tied with hemp rope, lay on a tattered felt in the cave. The little girl was thin and small, probably half a head shorter than Xing'er, with a pale and fragile appearance that was heart-wrenching to look at.

Ye Ran put Xing'er down, held Yue'er's hand, and couldn't help but shiver.

How could this child be so cold on such a hot day?

Her pulse was very weak, weak to the point of having only a faint sign of life, her body was as cold as ice, no wonder Xing'er was so anxious.

Ye Ran touched her chest, it was still warm.

The stone in her heart finally fell, fortunately, after administering the needle, Yue'er still had a chance.

Where could she find a silver needle at this moment?

With limited resources, she had to stimulate her acupoints to wake the little girl up first. As for the future, she would slowly nurse her back to health. With her medical skills, she would surely be able to completely cure the little girl one day.

Ye Ran's heart was entirely focused on Yue'er. Without looking back, she ordered, "Xing'er, go outside and pick a few small branches, be quick!"

Not getting a response from Xing'er, Ye Ran turned around and saw Xing'er looking vigilantly at the unexpected visitor who appeared silently.

Yin Tian didn't know how long he had been there.

Perhaps Xing'er was afraid of disturbing her while she was treating Yue'er, so he had been silent all this time.

The little figure stood like a small mountain, blocking her and Yue'er.

Ye Ran's heart warmed, and she subtly smiled, "He saved mother, he's not a bad person. Mother needs to treat Yue'er, go quickly and pick the branches."

"Want to stimulate her acupoints?"

Yin Tian looked at the pale little girl on the tattered felt, and for some reason, a hint of pity arose in his heart. He deftly pulled out the hairpin from his head and handed it to Ye Ran.

"Use this, it won't hurt the little girl, it's better than branches!"
