Chapter 8 Xiao Guo pretending to be sick

After dinner last night, Tong Xiangyu went to the backyard to comfort Guo Furong. She didn't know what kind of chicken soup she gave Guo Furong. Anyway, at the end, when everyone in the inn had finished eating, Guo Furong appeared on the dining table. That was the time she appeared.

It was relatively late, and in the end Guo Furong still didn't get any hot food.

Tong Xiangyu didn't seem to care much about this but was happy with his educational achievements, "Isn't this Xiao Guo a living example?"

In this way, Guo Furong could only take the two remaining steamed buns from Da Zui and return to the backyard.

Early the next morning!

When everyone got up and prepared to eat in the hotel lobby, they found that Xiao Guo didn't get up again.

After asking Xiaobei, everyone learned the news that Guo Furong was ill.

When everyone heard that Guo Furong was too sick to get out of bed, they all asked Bai Zhantang, who had just visited Guo Furong's condition. He said solemnly:

"What's the specific situation? I don't know very well. After all, I'm not a professional doctor."

"But it looks quite serious. I keep coughing, and my face is pale and there are signs of fever. I guess I caught a cold while washing clothes last night."

After hearing this reply, Tong Xiangyu immediately ran to the backyard to visit Guo Furong, wanting to confirm the specific situation.

After a while, Tong Xiangyu returned to the lobby from the backyard and told Lao Bai:

"Xiao Guo is very ill. Go buy two kilograms of melon seeds quickly."

"If you are sick, you can still eat two kilograms of melon seeds to avoid getting angry." Bai Zhantang asked doubtfully.

"Stop talking and go quickly. People say you fight fire with fire." Tong Xiangyu waved his hand and said.

Of course Zhang Chen knew that this was Guo Furong pretending to be ill, but the subsequent development would be beyond Guo Furong's expectations, so Zhang Chen did not remind Lao Bai and the shopkeeper, intending to watch a good show.

"Brother Bai, go quickly! How can you not do what the shopkeeper ordered?" Zhang Chen also helped after making up his mind to watch the show.

Bai Zhantang had no choice but to go to the street and buy two kilograms of melon seeds to deliver to Guo Furong. Zhang Chen grabbed a large handful of melon seeds before they were delivered to Xiao Guo's room and distributed them to everyone in the inn.

"Hey, Xiaochen, you are really a child, you are robbing the patient's things," Tong Xiangyu cursed with a smile.

With Zhang Chen sharing the melon seeds in their hands, everyone sat around the table and started cracking them, praising how good the melon seeds tasted.

"Hmm! These melon seeds taste good, they must have just been fried."

Everyone gathered around the long table and cracked melon seeds. Zhang Chen suddenly said to Bai Zhantang:

"Brother Bai, you said that you need to eat melon seeds for this burn wound, or two kilograms of it? Isn't that a bit suspicious?"

"Well, what you mean is..." Bai Zhantang fell into deep thought after hearing this.

At this moment, Tong Xiangyu came to the lobby from the backyard and said:

"Go and have a look. Xiao Guo suddenly coughed up blood for some reason."

Bai Zhantang and Zhang Chen looked at each other, and then quickly went to Xiao Guo's room in the backyard. Before they entered the room, they heard Xiao Guo coughing violently.

After Zhang Chen reminded Bai Zhantang just now, he understood that Xiao Guo was pretending to be sick. The two looked at each other and then Bai Zhantang said:

"Hey, this cough is so severe, maybe it's tuberculosis, right? It's an infectious disease, so shopkeepers, we need to be careful."

Zhang Chen also said helpfully:

"Yes, shopkeeper, if the guests in the inn know that we have tuberculosis in our shop, we may not be able to open our shop."

"Then what are you waiting for? I'm going to find the doctor right away. You can't just ignore it!" Dazui became anxious and ran out as soon as he heard this.

Zhang Chen quickly stopped Da Zui and said:

"Brother Big Mouth, don't worry. It's just a guess now. Let Brother Bai go in and take a look first, and then it's not too late to go!".

"What Xiaochen said is right, let's discuss it in the long term," Tong Xiangyu said.

Then he turned around and looked at Bai Zhantang, asking for help: "Zhantang, tell me what to do?".

Bai Zhantang saw Zhang Chen winking at him and immediately said with an upright face:

"If this disease is really tuberculosis, it certainly cannot be treated in our inn. If others find out, will we still need to open this inn?".

"Let's take Xiao Guo to Shibalipu first and ask a doctor to take a look first. If it's cured well, we'll treat it. If it's not cured, we'll just put it in Shibalipu and raise it slowly. This way it won't affect us.

What do you think of the inn business, shopkeeper?"

Everyone expressed their agreement with this plan and decided to listen to Lao Bai as soon as they made the decision.

Everyone immediately dispersed and prepared to send Xiao Guo to Shibalipu. Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang did not move. Instead, they hid in the dark and observed Guo Furong's room. They only saw the figure of a person lying on the window, eavesdropping.

The two looked at each other and nodded tacitly, then Zhang Chen said loudly to Bai Zhantang from a distance:

"Brother Bai, do you really want to send Sister Guo to Shibalipu? I'm not familiar with that place and I don't know if Sister Guo can adapt to it."

Bai Zhantang answered loudly:

"There is nothing we can do about it. Who said it was tuberculosis! Who dares to stick to an infectious disease?"

After hearing the conversation between the two, Guo Furong in the room panicked and started running around the room, scratching her head and rubbing her hands. Suddenly she had an idea, a smile appeared on her face and she said: "Fight with me."

When everyone prepared their tools, opened the door and rushed into the house, they saw Guo Furong sitting cross-legged on the bed, meditating motionlessly, turning a deaf ear to the sounds of everyone rushing in.

Seeing this, Big Mouth stepped forward and touched Guo Furong lightly. Guo Furong fell on the bed, shocking everyone. Big Mouth immediately tested Guo Furong's breath again and said tremblingly:

"Why are you so out of breath?".

Mo Xiaobei, who knew that Guo Furong was pretending to be ill, wanted to reach out and touch Guo Furong, but Tong Xiangyu reached out and held her back and said:

"Tuberculosis is contagious, so be careful."

Mo Xiaobei said disdainfully:

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. If you want to be infected, you have already been infected. Can you wait until now?"

Xiao Bei stretched out his hand and pinched Xiao Guo's body. Seeing that Guo Furong didn't respond, Xiao Bei couldn't help but increase his strength. Xiao Guo finally couldn't help laughing and sat up.

After the laughter stopped, looking at everyone in the room, Guo Furong said doubtfully:

"Why are you all here?"

Tong Xiangyu said with concern:

"We saw you were coughing, so we came over to see how you feel now. If it still doesn't work, we'll ask a doctor."

When Guo Furong heard this, she waved her hand to show that she didn't need it, and said very boldly:

"Don't worry, everyone. I practiced the Jade Girl Heart Sutra passed down by my mother and my cough has been cured!".

"Do you still have this skill?" Bai Zhantang asked with disbelief.

"Why! Don't forget who my parents are? Who doesn't have a family tradition of martial arts?"

When Guo Furong was feeling proud, Zhang Chen suddenly asked:

"Then you were just pretending to be sick!".

"My girl is in good health, how could she be sick?" Guo Furong replied instinctively.

After finishing speaking, Guo Furong looked stunned, and then she looked a little panicked.

Seeing that Guo Furong had spilled the beans, Zhang Chen went to her accomplice Mo Xiaobei and said, "Good boy, you can't lie!".

After hearing this, Xiao Bei had to explain everything. It turned out that Guo Furong was pretending to be sick because she wanted to be lazy and not work.

After everyone listened to Xiaobei's explanation, they said angrily:

"What are you doing?"

"Pretend to be sick? If you want to take a break, can you just tell the shopkeeper no? Can she still refuse to agree to you? You haven't known that our shopkeeper has a sharp mouth and a soft heart after getting along with you for the past few days."

Hearing everyone in the inn praising herself so much, Tong Xiangyu turned away embarrassedly and suddenly turned around again and said proudly:

"I'm not as good as you say. Of course, if you really want to praise me, I won't stop you. You can continue."

Just when everyone wanted to continue to praise Tong Xiangyu, Bai Zhantang slapped his thigh and said:

"Oops, everyone is off topic. Now we should discuss how to punish Guo Furong."

This is easy to handle. Tong Xiangyu stated the rules of the inn, "According to Article 27 of the rules, anyone who lies and deceives others and causes a major impact, no matter what the motive is..."

"More points!" Guo Furong said painfully.

"Sunflower acupuncture hand, this time I'm going to use Tanzhong to feel the itching and numbness in my upper body without scratching or scratching it!" Bai Zhantang pointed at Guo Furong after he finished speaking.

Immediately, everyone dispersed one after another and went about their own work, leaving Guo Furong alone here moaning in pain.

"How dangerous is the game of making up a lie and telling a lie..." Seeing that she was being clicked and unable to move, Xiao Bei happily gathered around her and hummed a song.

"Ah...it's so itchy. Someone scratch it for me. Someone, please help. I was wrong. I don't dare to pretend to be sick anymore. Who can hear my heart..." Guo Furong was wailing in her heart.
