Mrs. Tang finally woke up, let out a slow sigh, and burst into loud sobs. Grabbing a handful of Chen Fu’s clothes, she wailed, “Husband, you must think of a way, save Zhuzhu.”

She then turned towards Doctor Li, and suddenly kneeled, knocking her head against the ground. “I beg you, Doctor Li, save my child, sob, sob, sob, he is only in his twenties, please save him…”

Doctor Li quickly dodged and said to Mrs. Shao, “Help your mother-in-law up.”

Wiping away her tears, Mrs. Shao quickly helped her mother-in-law.

Doctor Li sighed and proceeded to examine Chen Zhu’s wound.

Chen Zhu was injured by an arrow, on the outer thigh. The arrow had been removed, and as long as the wound was immediately treated and bandaged with the right medicine, there would be no issues.

Unfortunately, there was no medicine at the time, so the wound became infected and purulent, swelling up his entire thigh.

Doctor Li touched Chen Zhu’s forehead, feeling that he still had a high fever.

His lips were turning black, his face a sickly pale, unconscious, seeming to be at the end of his rope. The situation seemed dire.

“I will formulate a prescription for a decoction to bring down his fever and detoxify him, and apply an anti-inflammatory medicine to his leg. Alas, whether he could pull through would be entirely up to him,” Doctor Li said.

Doctor Li quietly said to Clan Leader Chen Fu, “The situation is perilous for your son. You should prepare yourself.”

Hearing this, Chen Fu couldn’t keep the tears from falling, feeling overwhelming guilt towards his fourth son and elderly wife.

But now that things have reached this point, other than feeling heartache, he was helpless.

His wife didn’t look too good either, which increased his worries.

“Doctor Li, could you please check on my wife too?” Chen Fu wiped his tears with his sleeve, chokingly bowed to Doctor Li.

Doctor Li quickly helped him up, gently shook his head, and went to check Mrs. Tang’s pulse.

At that moment, Mrs. Shao had already helped her mother-in-law onto the kang, the two were crying together. On seeing Doctor Li come over, they quickly rolled up Mrs. Tang’s sleeve.

After checking her pulse, Doctor Li said to Chen Fu, “your wife’s pulse indicates that her liver heat is intense; there’s risk of stroke. You need to keep an eye on her.”

Hearing this, Chen Fu felt somewhat lost and quickly asked, “What should be done?”

Doctor Li sat down to write a medical prescription and said, “Try not to agitate her and cause her to get inflamed, and avoid excessive grieving. Ensure that she has calm and peaceful rest. I will prescribe a decoction for her first, and then check on her after a few days.”

“Alright, you just prepare the medicine. From now on, I will definitely keep an eye on her.”

Afterwards, Chen Fu had his eldest grandson escort Doctor Li home, and fetch the medicine on his way back.

After soothing his wife, Chen Fu went to check on his youngest son, feeling even more distressed.

It seemed like the white-haired him would have to send off the black-haired son. He would rather exchange his life for the latter’s if he could.

After pacing a few rounds in the room, an idea popped into Chen Fu’s head and he hurriedly went to West Village to find the divine witch, Song, to exorcise the evil spirits from his son.

As the saying goes, desperation leads to erratic attempts at finding a cure. He was out of options.

As a result, in the courtyard of Clan Leader Chen’s home, an altar was set up, incense and candles were lit, and Divine Witch Song led her two grandchildren, adorned with colorful ribbons, in a ritual to worship the gods and began the sacred dance.

The sacred dance was quite particular and not random; dances for healing, praying for blessings, and exorcising evil spirits were each unique and had their specific steps.

The divine witch, also understood as a shaman or sorcerer, combined the roles of a shaman and a doctor. They were known as the healers among the common folk due to their knowledge of medicine and their ability to communicate with the divine, predict good and evil fortunes, and provide divine revelations.

Divine Witch Song took out a packet of prepared medicinal powder from her belt, mumbled her prayers while ringing her bell, and then poured the medicinal powder into a bamboo tube filled with water, shaking it a few times. She then handed it to Chen Fu, “This is the divine medicine bestowed by the gods. Hurry and have your fourth son drink it.”

Chen Fu respectfully accepted the divine gift and gave it to his fourth son to drink.

Divine Witch Song also went into the room and saw the young man lying on the kang, and silently shook her head.

From how he looked, even though he was young, he would probably not survive for a few more days.

After feeding the divine medicine and coming out, Chen Fu saw Divine Witch Song still chanting and ringing her bell, holding a piece of tortoise shell and casting it onto the ground.

Thud! The tortoise shell broke into three pieces.

Before anyone knew, the Divine Witch Song had drawn a ring of fire on the ground, into which the turtle shell was thrown.

She grabbed the shell, shouting loudly, “Heaven has decreed that a demon haunts this place. Only with the Fairy Child assisting me can we lift the curse.”

Clan Leader Chen hurriedly asked, “What does that mean? Who’s the Fairy Child?”

The Divine Witch Song blinked her small eyes, raising her voice, “The Fairy Child lives in the village, only four years old. With her help, the demon haunting your son will surely withdraw.”

Chen Fu instantly knew who the Fairy Child was in Song’s words.

At this moment, he hesitated. After all, the child was only three or four years old, what could she do?

But, for a glimmer of hope for his son, he, as a father, couldn’t give up.

Chen Fu contemplated how he should talk to Jiang Sanlang, asking Yingbao to cure his son’s evil disease.

If he speaks improperly, Jiang Sanlang might throw him out of the house.

From the corner of her eye, Divine Witch Song watched Chen Fu’s hesitation, rang her bell and spoke a long incantation, finally saying, “If the Fairy Child doesn’t help, there’s nothing I can do.”

The implication was, if the Fairy Child didn’t help, Chen Zhu would undoubtedly die, and it had nothing to do with her, the witch.

Chen Fu clenched his teeth and strode out the door.

He ran all the way to South Slope, only to see a little girl riding a large deer sprinting from the open field.

The deer was strong and tall, its antlers looked like a divine beast, galloping like the wind.

The little girl in red dress, two little braids on her head, rosy cheeks, sat straight on the deer’s back, like a born rider.

At this moment, Chen Fu stared blankly at her, as if he had truly seen a Fairy Child descended from the heavens.

“Little… Yingbao!” Chen Fu quickened his steps towards her.

Seeing Clan Leader Chen running hastily towards her, Yingbao quickly pulled Youyou to a stop. “Grandpa Chen, what’s the matter?”

Chen Fu, panting, paused beside the large deer, composed himself and asked,

“Where is your father?”

“My father is over there, digging a pond.”

Since the Jiang family had moved to South Slope, they encountered water issues. Thus, Jiang Sanlang, along with his second brother, were digging a well beside the pond while they had some free time.

But drilling a well in South Slope was not easy, they had to remove the underground stones first.

So, digging a well turned into digging a pond.

Chen Fu pondered for a while, then tentatively said, “Yingbao, my son, Zhuzhu, is injured. I was… I was thinking you could come and look at him.”

He didn’t dare to mention Witch Song’s words and treated Yingbao only as a little doctor, asking her to see the patient.

Upon hearing the request for a check-up, Yingbao’s eyes lit up, and she readily agreed, “Okay.”

She also wanted to see what kind of injury Chen, the Clan Leader’s younger son, had gotten.

Lady Wen once said that to quickly improve your medical skills, you must treat different patients and accumulate clinical experience.

“But I need to go back and tell my mother first, and also grab a medicine bag.” Yingbao urged the deer to turn around.

With a look of delight, Chen Fu quickly nodded, “I also need to go and talk to your parents.”

Upon reaching Jiang Sanlang’s house, Chen Fu told Chunniang about asking Yingbao for a check-up, without mentioning anything about Witch Song’s divination, fearing that Jiang Sanlang would overreact.

Chunniang puts away the thread wrapper and stood up, “Since Baobao agreed to go, I will accompany her.”

She can’t let her daughter go to someone else’s house alone.

Yingbao entered her cave house to collect some ointment and pills, put them in a small bag made by her mother, and then came out.

“Grandpa Chen, let’s go.” Yingbao, carrying her little bag, climbed onto Youyou’s back.

Chunniang also finished packing up, instructed Erni and Huzi to play with their sons in the yard, and followed close to her daughter..
