Chapter 10 Fever
Nie Tian, who was unconscious, was soaked in a wooden barrel, his exposed skin was red and purple.
"Gurgling!"
One by one, bubbles floated to the water surface and exploded quickly, steaming out a light green mist.
The whole room gradually emitted a strong aroma of medicinal materials, and the boiling water waves in the wooden barrel also released a strange green luster under the swaying candlelight.
“Um…”
Nie Tian made an unconscious cry of pain. In the boiling boiling water, his pores seemed to be forcibly swollen and were greedily sucking the medicine juice in the water.
His body, which was already stronger than an ordinary child, was as if filled with breath, and slowly expanded again.
"Crack!"
The sounds came from his bones and internal organs, and the flesh and blood all over his body seemed to be cheering and screaming.
A layer of light curtain visible to the naked eye radiates from doctor Hua Mu as the center, covering Nie Tian and the wooden barrel.
"Ao!"
Nie Tian suddenly let out an unbearable scream, but his loud scream seemed to be unable to penetrate the faint light curtain.
The light curtain was filled with slight ripples like running water, as if blocking all the sounds, leaving Nie Donghai, Nie Xi and others who were close to the house unaware of anything.
In Hua Mu's pupils, there seemed to be two green ghost fires ignited. He looked at Nie Tian with great concentration, with a few traces of awe in his excited expression.
"Shih!"
A trace of colorful firelight went in and out of the pores under Nie Tian's skin. With Nie Tian's screams, the originally turbid potion in the wooden barrel gradually became clear.
It seemed that the precious medicine juices injected by Hua Mu had been melted into Nie Tian's pores little by little into his flesh and blood.
Nie Tian's high fever slowly faded away with the clearness of the potion.
After a long time, Nie Tian, who gradually disappeared from the severe pain, did not continue to cry and scream. The faint halo from Hua Mu's body turned into rays of flowing light and disappeared into Hua Mu's body.
The boiling boiling water had already cooled down and calmed down. Nie Tian, who had been in a coma for three days, also opened his eyes after the high fever subsided.
At this moment, the strange light in Hua Mu's eyes disappeared instantly.
He hunched over and said calmly: "Old Hua Mu, at the invitation of your grandfather, I will help you to relieve your fever."
Nie Tian, who had not yet come back to his senses, said in a daze, "How many days have I had a high fever?"
"Three days." Hua Mu's tone was quiet.
"Three days!" Nie Tian was shocked, pressing the wooden barrel with both hands, and was about to jump out.
"Crack!"
The hard wooden barrel seemed to be unable to withstand the huge force, but it suddenly shattered under the support of his hands.
"Wow!"
When the bucket of water was overflowing, Nie Tian looked strange and stared at the broken wooden boards.
Hua Mu's expression remained unchanged, as if he knew that he should have been like this, and said calmly: "Your strange disease has not been completely eradicated. You still need to continue soaking the medicine in my hands for six days."
Nie Tian raised his hand and moved his arms casually, instinctively feeling that the power this body could bring to him was much stronger than before.
"I feel very good, I probably won't continue to have a fever." Nie Tian said indifferently.
"I am a doctor. No one else can do anything about your strange disease. I have cured it. So, you must believe me and continue to treat it as I say!" Hua Mu said in an unquestionable tone.
"Oh, okay." Nie Tian scratched his head.
"Mr. Hua, can I enter?" Outside the house, Nie Donghai, who was anxious, could no longer hold back when he heard the wooden barrel shattering and the conversation between Hua Mu and Nie Tian.
"Come in." Hua Mu said lightly.
"Bang!"
Nie Donghai suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in with Nie Xi who was also anxious.
As soon as he came in, he immediately came to Nie Tian's side and reached out and pressed Nie Tian's wrist. When he found that Nie Tian's high fever had subsided and his body temperature had returned to normal, his face immediately looked ecstatic.
Without waiting for Hua Mu to say more, he sang: "Han Yue, hand over the reward to Mr. Hua!"
The maid Han Yue, holding a cloth bag filled with gold, silver and fine softness, as well as a few spiritual stones and medicinal materials, respectfully handed it to Hua Mu.
Hua Mu took it arrogantly, and after looking at it, he stuffed the cloth bag into the medicine box, as if he didn't care about the rewards at all.
"I don't thank you for your kindness. I'd like to ask Mr. Hua to stay at the Nie family for a few more days. I will definitely treat you well." Nie Donghai said sincerely.
"It has not been completely cured." Hua Mu waved his hand, rejected Nie Donghai's kindness, and said, "In the next six days, I will come here every day. You have prepared wooden barrels and hot water in advance, and I will use the same method to cure your grandson's strange disease."
"It's not completely gone?" Nie Donghai's face tightened.
"Don't worry too much, he's fine." Hua Mu looked up to the sky slightly and said confidently: "I said that I can heal him, so I must be fine. Today, I have proved myself to you, and you should believe me."
"Of course! Of course!" Nie Donghai hurriedly said, bowing again, "Then I will trouble Mr. Hua in the next few days. Mr. Hua first came to Heiyun City, and there should be no place to settle down, right? Otherwise, how about living in our Nie family? Don't worry, I will definitely arrange the most comfortable guest room and I will never neglect Mr.
"No need, I like quietness and just want to walk around the city alone." Hua Mu seemed not interested in talking to Nie Donghai. After leaving this sentence, he walked straight out.
"Grandpa, who is this person? Also, why did I have a high fever for three days?" Nie Tian asked in confusion after Hua Mu left.
"You bastard!" Nie Xi's eyes had not yet faded and she said with heartache: "After fighting with Nie Hong, you suddenly had a high fever that night. When I found out, you were so feverish that you couldn't wake up. We searched all the Heiyun City and the famous doctors nearby, but they didn't cure you, so we were about to send you to Lingyun Sect. Mr. Hua suddenly came to the door..."
She explained the incident carefully, then asked, "How is it? How do you feel now? Are you feeling very weak?"
"No, it's not very weak." Nie Tian shook his head, and a strange look appeared on his face. "On the contrary, I feel... it's still very good. No, it's very good!"
"What does it mean?" Nie Donghai was surprised.
"After the high fever subsided, I felt like I had endless strength, which seemed to be stronger than before." Nie Tian carefully used the words, "The spiritual power in the dantian has not changed much, but the power of the whole body must have been greatly improved, and I can feel it."
"It's strange." Nie Donghai looked at him deeply, with doubts on his face.
"It's fine, it's fine." Nie Xi thought without doing much, "You try to fight with Nie Hong as little as possible in the future. His realm is three levels higher than yours, and his spiritual power can overflow. You just want to show off. I guess your sudden high fever this time is caused by fighting him. If you can't beat him, don't fight. Your realm is much lower, and you lose if you lose. Don't be so hard of your bones."
"I think if I let Nie Hong fight again now, I can easily beat him!" Nie Tian grinned and smiled confidently.
"You have to be stubborn! I don't want to see you, and I'm in a coma again! This time, Mr. Hua happened to pass by Heiyun City, otherwise..." At this point, Nie Xi was about to cry again, "If you really have a few things, your aunt wouldn't want to live anymore. If you have something to do, I will never have the face to see your mother in the spring in the future."
"Okay, okay, I understand, I won't do anything randomly in the future." Nie Tian said with a headache.
"In the past few days, you will stay at home honestly and you can't go anywhere!" Nie Donghai reminded seriously.
"Okay." Nie Tian nodded helplessly.
The secret room where Nie Beichuan practices.
"Father, that foreign doctor really relieved Nie Tian's high fever." Nie Kan came in with gloomy eyes and said in a tone full of regret.
Nie Beichuan, who refined a hint of cold air from the black jade pillar behind him, opened his eyes and said coldly: "Since Nie Tian is fine, I will talk to my elder brother. According to what he said, yesterday, he should have explained it to all the clan elders and then voluntarily withdrew from the position of head of the clan."
"It should have been like this long ago. He occupies the position of the head of the family, and it is inconvenient for us to do many things. In the future... it will be fine." Nie Kan said excitedly.
"Although it's a bit late today, I think he shouldn't sleep yet." Nie Beichuan got up, walked out of the secret room, and went to talk to Nie Donghai.
