Be careful not to offend the gods and ghosts, as they may become displeased with you and bring disaster upon yourself.

It’s better to tell the old lady to stop talking. The more she talks, the more scared she will be.

"Mom, you are right. Just sleep peacefully."

The old lady felt relieved. Looking at the tired eyes of her eldest son's wife, she thought to herself that she should let her rest. The words just now really touched her heart.

"take a break."

"Hey."

The eldest daughter-in-law then left and turned her head, "Mom, call me if you have anything."

The old lady said nothing more and just nodded at her.

After lying down, I felt more and more that Niu Xiaoni would never come back, and I couldn't help but let out a sneer. Even though there were many people here, it was still a bit creepy.

Fortunately, the two grandsons were not sent over there. This kind of life-threatening job would be more suitable for that bad boy.

With a smile on his lips, he slowly closed his eyes.

It is easy to wake up when sleeping outside because there are always people around making noises, snoring, grinding teeth, and talking in sleep.

Every time the old lady was about to fall asleep, she would be woken up by these noises, so she simply refused to sleep anymore.

The sky gradually brightened and the light was a little dazzling. I put my hand on my forehead to block it a little.

Squinting my eyes, I looked at the sun in the distance which had not yet risen.

I wish Ni'er would never come back.

On the other side, Ni'er had also woken up and stretched. She slept quite comfortably that night. The master's medicine was really effective. There were no mosquitoes flying around. It was just a little stuffy, but it was much better than on the mountain.

I quickly washed and combed my hair into the simplest style.

I heard some noise coming from the tent next to me. It must be that Master had woken up.

I got out of the tent and saw my sleepy master. "Good morning~"

Zhao Jincheng stretched like Ni'er, "Good morning, how did you sleep last night?"

Nier tilted her head, looking very cute, with a bit of the innocence that is expected of her age.

"Not bad. I guess he was busy all day and fell asleep right after touching the pillow."

Zhao Jincheng looked at Ni'er's face carefully. There was no trace of fatigue on her face. It seemed that she had a good rest. On the contrary, he felt too hot last night. He slept in a daze and did not sleep well.

"It seems you've adapted well. I thought you wouldn't be able to sleep."

I feel warm at heart when I hear others’ concern early in the morning.

"I can sleep well in the mountains even when it's so cold, let alone here, Master. How do you sleep?"

Zhao Jincheng had a smile on his face and looked at Ni'er with satisfaction.

"My apprentice is amazing. Let's go and have a meal first."

In order not to worry her little apprentice, she didn't dare say that she didn't sleep well, otherwise she would definitely rush to do most of the work.

"I slept well. Let's go. We are hungry."

Zhao Jincheng didn't dare let Ni'er look at him closely, for fear that she would notice something, so he could only raise his head so that she couldn't see.

Nier found it strange, because usually the master would keep his head down when speaking, but today he was acting out of character and looked very arrogant, but his tone was still the same as before.

Ni'er raised her head, wanting to see what was going on, but Zhao Jincheng straightened his back and stretched.

Ni'er had no choice but to walk a few steps to the side. The sunlight was a little dazzling when she raised her head, so she lowered her head. Seeing that her master was still energetic, she no longer doubted him.

The two lined up to get their morning meals.

A voice sounded not far away, "Doctor Zhao~"

It was the woman who came here with her son last night. She looked a little excited and trotted over.

"I guessed you were here, Doctor Zhao must have gotten up early."

"Doctor Zhao, my son is in much better condition than last night, and his fever has subsided a little. Thank you so much."

Zhao Jincheng was very happy to hear the news. On the one hand, he was happy that the boy had gotten better, and on the other hand, he was happy that the medicine he used was indeed effective.

"That's good, I'll go check it out later."

My aunt also wanted to know what disease the child had. It looked like it was most likely not an epidemic, otherwise he would not have gotten better so quickly.

I get angry when I think of those people last night. They insisted that other people's high fevers were caused by the epidemic. This time they have been slapped in the face.

But the doctor has the final say. It's useless to just think about it.

"Doctor Zhao, please wait in line first. I am here to tell you the good news."

Nier shouted at her aunt's back, "Get some food before you leave."

When my aunt turned around, I could see a happy smile on her face.

"No, I'll go make some medicine for my son first and come back later. Don't delay his taking the medicine."

Then he left.

Nier couldn't help but sigh, "She really has a loving mother's heart. She thinks of her son in everything and puts her child first."

Zhao Jincheng echoed, "Yes, there are still many parents in this world who care about their children."

Nier thought of her grandmother. If it was her son who got the disease this time, she would probably run faster than anyone else and wish she could get as far away from him as possible.

The life and death of others has nothing to do with her. As long as she lives well, there is no problem at all.

Fortunately, I am no longer a family with her, otherwise I would have been dragged to death.

Finally, it was Zhao Jincheng and Ni'er's turn to get breakfast.

The food was still exactly the same as yesterday, a bowl of wild vegetable and corn porridge and a piece of dry food that was a little smaller than yesterday.

Nier was a little worried. Maybe they were out of food? It was only the second day since they arrived here, and the dry rations had become so small. They might not have anything to eat in the future.

Nier held the dry food in her hand and raised her head, "Uncle, why is the dry food smaller today?"

The man knew that Ni'er was Zhao Jincheng's apprentice and had medical skills. He had always wanted to talk to the child, but was afraid that she would not want to tell him, because a relative in the family had a promising child who could recite poems and read at the age of three.

The child is now the same age as Ni'er. He looks down on others and acts as if no one is worse than him. He walks with his head held high like a proud rooster. The last time I greeted him, he actually said, "I don't talk to people who can't read."

I felt so upset at that time. I was his elder, but he looked down upon me. When I got home, I thought about making more money so that my son could go to school and at least learn a few words.

I was a little surprised that Ni'er actually spoke on her own initiative today. Usually, such a precocious child would look down on others in his or her bones.

But seeing that Ni'er had no such intention at all and even called him uncle sweetly, if there was no one watching, he would have wanted to give some more dry food to such a cute little girl.

"Ah, I usually don't eat much in the morning, so I made it a little smaller. The ones for lunch and dinner are the same size as yesterday's."

"What's wrong? Are you feeling hungry?"
