Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

"He's just unconscious, not dead. Look, there's still breath in his nose." Chu Xi said as he pulled the girl's hand and put it on her brother's nose.

"It's true, he's still breathing, he's not dead, he's really not dead, that's great..." The girl burst into laughter.

"Why is his body so hot? Does he have a fever?" The girl asked worriedly, touching her brother's hot body.

"What's your name?" Chu Xi felt that he couldn't keep calling the other person "hey".

"Sir, my name is Xiaotao"

"Xiao Tao, go get some water, your brother has a fever."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Xiaotao immediately walked out of the house.

Chu Xi looked at the little boy in front of him. He was pale and thin, his lips were severely chapped and peeling, his limbs were cold, his skin was wrinkled, and he was in a state of severe dehydration.

Xiaotao came in quickly with hot water, wrung the towel half dry, and placed it on the boy's forehead.

"Xiao Tao, has your brother been suffering from diarrhea recently?"

"Yes, sir."

"It has been going on for five or six days now. He has to go to the toilet dozens of times a day and keeps complaining about stomachaches."

"This morning, my brother came out of the toilet and started crying, saying that he was bleeding and was going to die.

I rushed to the street to ask for a doctor. Unexpectedly, I ran into a bad guy before I could find a doctor..." Xiao Tao sobbed and told the whole story.

Chu Xi sighed slightly, rummaged through her bag, and took out a bottle of medicine.

"Xiao Tao, is there any hot water to drink?"

"Sir, yes."

"Go get it."

Soon, Xiaotao came back from the kitchen with a bowl of hot water.

Chu Xi poured a small pill from the bottle, broke it into two halves, gave one half to Tao'er, and put the other half into water to melt.

"Xiao Tao'er, eat it. It's good for your health."

Xiao Taoer took it without hesitation, put it into her mouth, and swallowed it with a gulp.

After the small half of the pill was completely dissolved in the water, Chu Xi fed the medicine to the little boy one spoonful at a time.

"Sir, how is my brother?" Xiao Tao asked expectantly.

"Well, I just took some medicine, so I won't wake up that quickly. Your brother is very ill, and it will probably take some time for him to fully recover."

Chu Xi rubbed Xiao Tao's head and said softly.

"He'll be fine, won't he?"

"Yes, it can be cured."

Chu Xi gave her an affirmative smile.

She is very confident in treating dysentery.

After all, she had done her homework before coming and even brought a whole box of medicine of all kinds, just in case of emergency.

However, he is still a child after all, and his physical condition is too weak. In addition, the illness has lasted for so long, I am afraid he will not recover so quickly.

"Where are your parents?"

"My parents are both gone." Xiao Tao lowered her head sadly.

"What?" Chu Xi was surprised and couldn't believe it.

"It's true. My mother passed away after giving birth to my brother. My father went up the mountain to collect herbs and accidentally fell off a cliff. His whereabouts are still unknown."

"Your father is a lucky man. I believe he will come back." Chu Xi comforted her.

"really?"

"real."

The next day, Xiaotao's brother finally woke up.

"Sister..." An An opened her eyes and called out "sister".

"An An, you're awake." Xiao Tao shouted excitedly.

"Sister, I'm so thirsty and hungry." An An lay on the bed without any strength left.

"Master, An An is awake." Xiao Tao shouted excitedly.

"An An, come and drink some water."

Chu Xi also came in with a bowl of porridge.

"Thank you, sir..."

Xiao Tao quickly took the bowl from Chu Xi's hand and began to feed porridge to her brother.

"An An, is your stomach still hurting?" Chu Xi smiled kindly, and An An blinked her big eyes.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, thank you, handsome brother." An An said softly.

"That's good. After eating the porridge and taking some medicine, An An will get better soon."

Chu Xi pinched An An's little face and coaxed her with a smile.

"Young Master..." Zi Yi stood outside the door.

"What's wrong?" Chu Xi walked out.

"There's a group of people outside."

Chu Xi looked outside and saw a group of people wearing Miao costumes standing there. Chu Xi felt that they looked familiar because she had seen this kind of costumes on TV in her original world.

But if you look closely, you will see some slight differences. There are not so many silver ornaments hanging on the bodies here.

"Xiaotao, Xiaotao..." A middle-aged woman shouted Xiaotao's name loudly inside.

Xiaotao ran out of the house in a panic.

"Aunt Qiu..."

"Xiao Tao, you are so brave. Have you forgotten the rules of our clan?" Aunt Qiu, who was in the lead, looked at Xiao Tao angrily.

The people following behind the aunt looked at Chu Xi and the others warily.

Everyone expressed their disapproval of Xiaotao's action of bringing outsiders in without permission.

"Aunt Qiu, I'm sorry. But they are Xiao Tao's saviors. Please don't hurt them..."

Xiaotao knelt in front of Aunt Qiu and cried.

"Xiao Tao, but the tribe has a rule that outsiders cannot be brought into the village. How can you be so confused..."

Aunt Qiu sighed.

"Yes, Xiaotao, you can't break the rules of the clan."

A man standing behind my aunt followed up.

"Aunt Qiu, but they saved me and An An."

"An An? You mean An An?" Aunt Qiu widened her eyes, her tone filled with disbelief.

Yesterday, the witch grandmother said that An An was dying.

"Take me to see ..."

Xiao Tao immediately stood up and led Aunt Qiu and the people behind her into the house to see An An.

Chu Xi sat down and calmly drank tea with Yan Jingshuo outside the thatched cottage.

"Really... this is true..."

"An An, I'm really fine..."

"Great... We are saved..."

There were bursts of exclamations from inside the house.

After a while, Aunt Qiu came out with everyone else, with joy on her face and hope in her eyes. She bowed and saluted towards Chu Xi and the others.

"I apologize for the offense just now. Please don't take it to heart."

"Hurry, go and ask the witch grandma to come over." Aunt Qiu ordered the young man behind her.

After a cup of tea, an elderly man with a cane walked in.

She was wearing navy blue Miao costume with floral decorations on the sleeves, trouser legs and collar, an embroidered apron around her chest and a headscarf on her head.

A pair of eyes are bright and shining with wisdom.

"Mother-in-law..."

Everyone bowed their heads and shouted respectfully.

Chu Xi looked over and stood up and bowed to her.

The witch grandmother glanced at them, and when she saw Chu Xi's appearance, her expression was slightly stunned, but she quickly recovered, turned around, and slowly walked into the house with her crutches.

Aunt Qiu followed the witch grandmother in.

Inside the house, everyone murmured again.

Chu Xi drank three cups of tea before they came out of the house.

The witch grandmother walked up to them, looked at Chu Xi, and spoke slowly: "You saved An An?"

"Yes, it is the junior."

Chu Xi stood up and answered in a respectful tone.

"It was you who rescued Xiao Tao on the street and sent her back?"

"Yes."

"Young man, you are our benefactor. We should thank you..."

The witch grandmother had a smile in her eyes, and looked a little kinder than before.

Chu Xi's humble attitude made the tribesmen like them more and gradually let down their guard.
