Chapter 170 - 170 Dream Again

170 Dream Again

“Ah Tao?”

Ji Zhao, who was lying on the bed, had her eyes closed and her face was unusually red.

Zhao Lanhua anxiously touched her forehead. The back of her hand was suddenly scalded.

“Old man! Old man, come over quickly!” Zhao Lanhua shouted anxiously.

Shen Dashan and Second Sister-in-law Shen rushed over.

“Ah Tao seems to have a fever!” Zhao Lanhua asked anxiously. “Old man, quickly get a doctor. Second daughter-in-law, go get a basin of cold water!”

“Okay, I’ll go get a doctor immediately!” Shen Dashan quickly turned around and rushed out of the Shen family’s courtyard.

At this moment, Ji Zhao fell into a strange dream again.

In her dream, she saw Shen Yao, who was covered in injuries.

Shen Yao was lying in a pool of blood in a dark cell, barely breathing.

She wanted to rush out, but she could not get close.

“Tell me, where did you get that item?” The man in black holding the whip slammed the whip onto Shen Yao’s body, causing his skin and flesh to split open and blood to flow!

“Shen Yao!” Ji Zhao shouted at the top of her lungs. Unfortunately, her voice could not be heard by Shen Yao at all.

“You cripple, you’re quite stubborn, aren’t you?” The man in black sneered when he saw that he didn’t speak. “Alright, you have guts! Since you can’t speak with your tongue, there’s no need to stay. Men!”

Soon, two more men in black rushed up and grabbed Shen Yao’s arms from both sides. The man with the whip threw the whip to the side and pinched Shen Yao’s chin with one hand while raising the red-hot brand with the other!

“No!”

Ji Zhao shouted in pain!

“Ah Tao? Ah Tao?” Zhao Lanhua called out anxiously as she wiped the sweat off her face with a wet towel. “Ah Tao, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me!”

“Doctor, what happened to Ah Tao?” Shen Dashan anxiously wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked with concern.

“Calm down.” The doctor who was taking her pulse frowned slightly. He felt that it was extremely strange. “From her pulse, she’s fine. The reason why she has a fever and is sweating and convulsing should be because of the strong fire in her heart. How about this? I’ll prescribe a soup to douse the internal heat and let her drink some first.”

The soup was very simple. It only required bitter gourds, lotus seeds, goldthreads, and a small amount of lean meat.

An hour later, Zhao Lanhua helped Ji Zhao up and brought the soup to her lips. “Ah Tao, drink this soup obediently. Otherwise, Mother will be worried.”

Ji Zhao finally woke up at 9pm.

She subconsciously turned her head and saw Zhao Lanhua lying on the edge of the bed. She called out softly, “Mother?”

Hearing the commotion, Zhao Lanhua quickly opened her eyes and anxiously looked at her forehead. “You’re awake? Are you feeling unwell?”

Fortunately, Ah Tao’s forehead was no longer burning.

“Mother, I feel so bitter in my mouth.” Ji Zhao frowned and said softly, “It’s as if I’ve eaten a lot of goldthread. It’s extremely bitter.”

The pain made her cry uncontrollably.

“I’m afraid the soup is too bitter.” Zhao Lanhua wiped her tears and coaxed her. “Don’t cry. Mother will get you a cup of honey water.”

“Okay…” Ji Zhao nodded obediently and forced herself to sit up on the bed.

Her gaze inadvertently glanced at the statue of the Earth God on the shrine platform not far away. The chaotic thoughts in her mind quickly adjusted. In the end, she widened her eyes in surprise. Was the dream she had just now another warm hint from the Earth God?

Therefore, it was very likely that Shen Yao was still fine!

She had to set off immediately. Only by finding Shen Yao could she help him avoid this calamity.

“Ah Tao, you child, why are you up?” Zhao Lanhua, who was carrying honey water into the house, said anxiously, “Quick, go back and sit down!”

“Mother, I’m going to look for Shen Yao!” Ji Zhao explained anxiously. “I have to find Shen Yao!”

“Nonsense!” Zhao Lanhua said angrily, “Ah Tao, can’t you see what time it is? Besides, you’re still sick!”

“But Mother, if I don’t look for Shen Yao, something will happen to him!” Ji Zhao grabbed her arm anxiously and said anxiously, “I dreamed again just now. I dreamed that Shen Yao…”

BOOM!

Before Ji Zhao could finish her sentence, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed outside the window!

Accompanied by the lightning, a thunderclap suddenly sounded!

Splash!

In an instant, heavy rain suddenly fell.

Bean-sized raindrops hit the window, making loud banging sounds.

“Ah Tao, what did you just say you dreamed of?” Zhao Lanhua asked hurriedly when she saw her suddenly stunned expression.

“Mother, I…” Just as Ji Zhao was about to blurt it out, the rain outside became even more turbulent. She lowered her eyes sadly.

It seemed that the Earth God’s reminder was already a gift from the heavens.

If she told her mother about this, she was afraid that it would lead to bad consequences.

After all, the secrets of heaven could not be revealed.

“Nothing.” After some thought, Ji Zhao forced a smile. “Mother, it’s raining outside.”

“Yes, it’s raining.” Zhao Lanhua hurriedly handed her the bowl of honey water. “This honey water is still hot. Drink it quickly!”

“Mm.”

After drinking a bowl of warm honey water, Ji Zhao felt much more better.

“Ah Tao, tell me honestly. Did you and Third Brother quarrel?” Zhao Lanhua held her hand and said earnestly, “Third Brother is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. When he flares up, he’s even more stubborn than a donkey. Don’t argue with him. If he does anything wrong, just tell me. I’ll stand up for you, okay?”

Ji Zhao shook his head gently. “Mother, Shen Yao didn’t do anything wrong, and we didn’t quarrel, but I think I made him unhappy.”

...

Ji Zhao finally understood why Shen Yao was angry.

She wanted to find Immortal Crane to treat Shen Yao’s leg. She did not even hesitate to seek Qin Minghong’s help for this matter. She insisted on treating Shen Yao’s leg, but she ignored Shen Yao’s pride.

Shen Yao would probably think that she minded his cripped leg, right?

That was why he chose to leave without saying goodbye.

However, when he thought of what had happened in the dream, Ji Zhao’s heart ached.

“Mother, can you tell me where Shen Yao went?”

“He went to Thunder Mountain County next door,” Zhao Lanhua explained softly. “Before Third Brother’s leg was injured, he had been studying at Old Master Fan’s house in Thunder Mountain County. Before he left, he said that he wanted to visit Old Master Fan.”

“Thunder Mountain County?” Ji Zhao frowned thoughtfully. Finally, she looked at Zhao Lanhua and smiled gratefully. “Mother, I’m fine now. Why don’t you go back to your room and rest early?”

“Alright, if you still feel discomfort, remember to call Mother!”

“Yes, I will.”
