Chapter 1029 Prayer
After Wen Xiaoman's surgery, Bai Du Shou used some medication to help her sleep and recuperate.
When she woke up again, it was already evening.
A dull, throbbing pain in her chest reminded her that what had happened not long ago was not a dream.
She opened her eyes and saw Su Yutang and her four little ones with worried expressions on their faces.
"Aunt Xiaoman, you're awake!"
"Does it still hurt?"
"how do you feel?"
The four little ones asked with concern.
Wen Xiaoman, still feeling weak, gently shook her head: "I'm fine, don't worry."
Her gaze swept across the room. "Where is Mr. Hundred Poison Hand?"
Su Yutang stepped forward and explained, "The Hundred Poison Hand left after taking your heart's blood. He said time was of the essence and he had to go back as soon as possible to refine the antidote."
Hearing that Bai Du Shou had already taken the medicinal ingredients to save Si Nian, Wen Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good..."
She subconsciously raised her hand and touched the small wound on her left chest, where her heart was covered by gauze.
"I hope Si Nian will get better."
But the four little ones didn't show much joy on their faces. Instead, they puffed out their cheeks and looked like little buns.
The reason was simple: after Bai Du Shou took the heart's blood and hurriedly ran away, he probably had a change of heart or was afraid of being held accountable later, so he vaguely revealed the matter of the Twin Gu to the four little ones via mobile phone.
This infuriated the four little ones!
Upon seeing Aunt Xiaoman regain consciousness, Erbao was the first to burst out, grumbling, "Aunt Xiaoman, you shouldn't have agreed to that old fox, Bai Du Shou's, proposal! That bastard actually wanted to use your heart's blood to refine some kind of Twin Gu, tying your life to Uncle Si Nian's. That's too reckless!"
Sanbao frowned as well. "Saving Uncle Sinian is of course important, but Aunt Xiaoman, your own safety is the most important thing."
Sibao nodded vigorously, his stance clear: "That's right, if we had to choose between you and Uncle Sinian, we would definitely choose Aunt Xiaoman."
Da Bao was also dissatisfied with Bai Du Shou's preemptive action, and his little face tightened.
But Wen Xiaoman said, "Don't blame Mr. Bai Du Shou. I agreed to this myself. He told me about the consequences before he took the blood."
The four little ones immediately deflated like punctured balloons.
It turns out Aunt Xiaoman knew everything... and she did it willingly.
Sanbao hung his head and muttered softly, "Aunt Xiaoman, you're so silly..."
Wen Xiaoman smiled and said, "As long as Si Nian can recover his health, I'm willing to do anything."
She paused, her gaze resolute. "Besides, I trust Mr. Bai Du Shou's medical skills. He will do his utmost to heal Si Nian and won't let me die."
Erbao sighed knowingly, "Oh, Aunt Xiaoman, you trust that old fox who doesn't seem very reliable at all!"
Even so, the four little ones knew in their hearts that since things had come to this point, there was no point in complaining any further.
But the necessary "warnings" are absolutely essential!
So, after calming Wen Xiaoman down, the group left the room and immediately found a quiet place where Da Bao dialed Bai Du Shou's cell phone.
As soon as the call connected, Erbao interrupted, warning the person on the other end: "Hundred Poison Hand, listen to us! Uncle Si Nian must be alright, and Aunt Xiao Man must be alright too. If anything happens to either of them, or if Uncle Si Nian... gets poisoned and it affects Aunt Xiao Man, you're dead!"
On the other end of the phone, Bai Du Shou, who was engrossed in a pile of bottles and jars, was so startled by the sudden death warning that his hand trembled and he almost spilled the precious medicine beside him.
He quickly composed himself and repeatedly assured his family on the phone, "I know, I know, my little darlings, I know what's important, I will definitely, definitely do my best, you can rest assured!"
After hanging up the call, Bai Dushou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He always said those four young masters were biased towards their own, and now the pressure is even greater...
He shook his head and refocused his attention on the bubbling medicine cauldron in front of him, his eyes becoming extremely focused.
This time, only success is allowed; failure is not an option.
It wasn't just for Qiao Sinian, but also so that he himself could live safely!
......
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Bai Du Shou went into seclusion to refine the antidote, and for a whole month, no news came.
Hope and anxiety intertwined, leaving Wen Xiaoman's heart constantly hanging in suspense.
That morning, as soon as Wen Xiaoman and Su Yutang stepped out of their room, their four little ones came running over, their faces flushed with excitement, as if they had encountered some great joy.
"Mommy, Aunt Xiaoman..."
Seeing the little ones so happy, Su Yutang and Wen Xiaoman exchanged a glance, both feeling a bit curious.
"What good news has happened? You're all so happy," Su Yutang asked with a smile.
Erbao turned her head, her bright eyes looking at Wen Xiaoman, and said excitedly, "Aunt Xiaoman, today is the weekend. We agreed before that we would go to Zhaojue Temple on the mountain to worship Buddha and pray for Uncle Sinian. Do you remember?"
Wen Xiaoman nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, I remember."
She pointed to her outfit and said, "Look, I'm all ready."
For this prayer, she specially changed into a light sportswear outfit and comfortable sneakers, looking very refreshed.
Sibao quickly said, "Alright, let's not waste any more time and set off!"
The little ones immediately sprang into action, quickly running back to their rooms to change into matching children's sportswear, and excitedly prepared to set off.
Bo Jingzhou naturally went along as well, acting as her protector.
Su Yutang originally thought that she and Wen Xiaoman could take the four children with them, but Bo Jingzhou was adamant, so she had no choice but to go along with him.
Su Yutang didn't seem to mind, but Wen Xiaoman felt a little uncomfortable.
Although everyone has known Bo Jingzhou for quite some time, apart from showing a gentle and approachable side in front of Su Yutang, Yan Yan, and the four little ones, he always maintains a cold, dignified, and unapproachable demeanor in front of others.
So much so that every time Wen Xiaoman saw him, she would subconsciously show him some respect and look up to him, and she would be exceptionally polite and reserved in her speech and actions.
The atmosphere on the bus to the temple was somewhat awkward.
Wen Xiaoman sat upright, her gaze mostly fixed on the view outside the window.
Erbao, being the clever one, noticed her unease and leaned over to whisper, "Aunt Xiaoman, you don't need to be so reserved. Today we're going to pray for Uncle Sinian, so relax and don't be nervous~"
Wen Xiaoman tugged at the corners of her mouth, trying to put on a relaxed smile, but found it difficult, so she simply gave up and shook her head: "I'm not nervous."
