Goldfield
Chapter 60: Comma

On one hand, the two sons of his family had exchanged his life to obtain this bear, so no matter what, he would not let the Zhao Family reap all the benefits! As Madam Zhang immediately hurriedly pulled Zhao Bufan into the room, he also counted inwardly how much money he could earn.

Zhao Bufan gently let go of his hand, walked towards Old Yu, and then opened the heavy bag in his hand in front of him.

Madam Zhang was instantly mesmerized by the shiny silver. He was so stunned that the drooping triangular eyes almost popped out. A bag full of silver bars, each of which was worth ten taels, would amount to at least two or three hundred taels!

Madam Zhang was a very stingy person, who was unwilling to spend too much money on clothes and food. There was a free worker like Yu Hai who earned money all day and Madam Zhang had been meticulously saving for over a decade. However, after deducting Yu Bo's daily fees and school fees, he had only saved up a little over a hundred taels over the years. However, a bear sold for two or three hundred taels!

“Is this a worthy part for our second son? Geez, I didn't expect the bear to be so precious. ”Mistress Zhang grinned so wide that her old face turned into chrysanthemum. His eyes narrowed, while he revealed a mouth full of twisted yellow teeth.

Zhao Bufan dodged from Madam Zhang's hand which grabbed a bag of money. He handed a bag of money to Old Yu and solemnly said, “Uncle Yu, these two or three hundred taels are all the money I get from selling the bears, which was also the money that Brother Yu Hai deserved! If it wasn't for him, the one lying on the bed would be me! ”

Old Yu did not take the money, sighed deeply, and said, “You two are as close as true brothers. I believe that if Dahai were in danger today, you would also do the same and save him! You guys always split the income from hunting evenly, so it will be the same today! ”

“Old man! Our bahai are still lying in bed and waiting for money to save his life! Our second son has risked his life to get this money. Moreover, if Hunter Zhao took the money, then all the villagers would gossip a lot about him! ” Seeing her husband had distributed half of the money with a few words, Madam Zhang was immediately enraged! ‘Fifty fifty? That would be one hundred and fifty taels! Most people probably wouldn't have that kind of money even if they were saving for over a decade! ‘

Zhao Bufan, as if he did not see that Madam Zhang jumped madly beside him, pushed the bag into Old Yu's embrace and said, “Uncle Yu, I only have one request! Brother Dahai had risked his life to exchange this money, which Bibi had also mentioned before. Therefore, I hope that at least half of the money will be used for Brother Dahai and his family. This shouldn't be a difficult request! ”

“Ya of course! The money will be used to treat my second son's wounds. If anything happens to her, then the money will be saved for her children's wedding! ” Old Yu is the biological father of Yu Hai, so there is still family affection between them!

Madam Zhang took the money from her husband's hand and held it happily. He replied in agreement, “Hunter Zhao, you don't have to worry! Yu Hai is our Old Yu's biological son, so how can we treat him badly? Look, we've invited the best doctors in town. One dose of the medicine prescribed by him cost more than one tael! I'll pay for the cure first. You guys keep talking! ”

With three hundred taels in hand, Madam Zhang no longer hesitated to pay five taels for health checks and treatment. He quickly paid off his bill, and then asked Yu Jiang to send the doctor back to the city with his donkey carriage.

“Everybody should go home! Dahai needs to rest in peace to recuperate. When he wakes up, I'll tell everyone! ” It was uncomfortable with so many people on the page. He had to prevent three hundred taels from falling into the eyes of the greedy! Once the money gets into Madam Zhang's hands, it's like throwing meat bun at a —— dog that money will never come back!

In the western room, Madam Liu was already awake and quietly crying as she stood beside her husband. Xiaolian and Little Shitou, who were accompanying their mother, also cried until their eyes were red and swollen. Thus, Xiaocao would check on Yu Hai's condition from time to time, while he made medicine in the small mud furnace outside the room.

The sun has set in the west. The Yu family had missed breakfast and dinner. Except for the second branch, which had no appetite, everyone was already starving. With three hundred taels of Yu Hai, Madam Zhang naturally did not have the face to order a second branch for now. So, he shouted to the eastern room, “Li Guihua, you lazy lady! Do you know what time it is? Quickly cook dinner! Do you want to starve us to death? ”

Madam Li and her son secretly ate some snacks inside their room. When she heard the voice, she reluctantly walked out of the room and slowly lit a fire to cook. Yu Caidie glanced at the western room with her eyes reddened, then quietly walked into the kitchen to help cook dinner.

It was a sleepless night for the entire second branch in the western room. They all remained beside Yu Hai for fear that their family pillar had suddenly collapsed.

At daybreak, Yu Hai, whose breathing had originally stabilized, suddenly had a high fever. His pale, bloodless skin turned red like soldering iron, while his breathing became short and fast.

The face of Madam Liu, who had not slept all night, was without a trace of blood. There was also a dark and heavy bag under his eyes. His originally thin and weak body seemed even more fragile.

Madam Liu could not stop her falling tears as she looked at her husband's reddened face. The words Doctor Sun said yesterday were still stuck in his ears: ‘If he has an infection or fever, then it will be difficult to save his life!’

“One hot! Dad's feverish! I'm gonna go ask Grandpa to call the doctor! ” Xiaolian wiped the tears on her cheeks and knocked on the door of the master room. Soon enough, Yu Dashan awakens and is told to pick up the doctor from the city.

Yu Xiaocao, who did not dare to close his eyes all night, felt dizzy as he brewed a second dose of medicine for his father. He added two more drops of mystical stone water in it, while he anxiously called out the small holy stone in his heart, [Stubby Dumpling, Ketan Dumpling, are you here?]

[Don't you say that my father will be fine after you've been taken care of by you? Why did he suddenly have a fever again?] Yu Xiaocao asked anxiously.

[Fever is normal! He consumed too much mystical stone water! I've told you that if a healthy person consumes mystic stone water in high concentration, at most they will become more energetic and energetic. But for someone like your father, who suffered serious injuries, it would be difficult to withstand the high concentration of energy within the mystic stone water at this time. He has a fever now!]

The little holy stone replied indifferently, but inwardly thought about whether it would benefit from saving his master's father this time. If the shackle that locked his strength could loosen a little, then it might be able to …

“Then, what will happen to my father now ?!” With Yu Xiaocao's knowledge, he still understood the meaning of ‘too much as bad as too little’. There will be side effects from taking too much medicine, so are there any negative consequences from consuming too much mystical stone water?

The flow of Little Divine Stone's mind was cut off, so he impatiently replied, [What can happen? At most, he would only sleep a few more days! I, this sacred stone, can guarantee with my character that he will be fine, so what are you still worried about? Stop worrying too much about unfounded things! I need to rest for a period of time, so don't bother me!]

With the guarantee of that little divine stone, Yu Xiaocao's agitated heart finally calmed down. He stared at the medicine that was rotting, in a daze: ‘There is also a mystical stone water inside this medicinal pot. Should I still give this medicine to Dad? ‘

Since the little heavenly stone had promised that there were no side effects and she would only sleep for a few more days, then ..there is no harm in sleeping for a few more days, right? Didn't people say that getting more sleep would help with wound recovery?

By the time Doctor Sun arrived again, Yu Hai's fever was already gone. However, there was still no sign of him waking up.

Doctor Sun meticulously checked his condition and rechecked his wound, but he remains unoptimistic, “If the patient does not wake up in two days, I fear the possibility of him waking up later in the day will be very slim. ! Even if he wakes up, I don't think we can keep his leg. However, it's a good sign that his fever is down! He still has to take his medication. If anyone shows up, you can find me in town! ”

A few days had passed after that, but there was still no sign of Yu Hai waking up. Most families no longer had any hope, except for Yu Xiaocao. He was the only one who knew that the condition of his father who had been declared dead by the doctor would not worsen anymore. Moreover, he was also fed mystic stone water every day, so he could still survive even if he did not eat or drink anything. Yu Xiaocao was very confident that as long as he drank a few more bowls of mystical stone water, his father's wounds would gradually heal sooner or later.

It had been three days since the little heavenly stone used all of its strength to treat his father's wounds, but it had only restored his spiritual form.

Look, that little golden ball of light was happily playing around in the spring and patting his chest confidently, [Don't worry. If you hadn't given him too much mystical stone water, he would have been awake a long time ago.]

When the little sacred stone heard from Xiaocao that the doctor told them that his father's leg needed to be cut off, he replied with disdain, [Don't listen to the shaman. This sacred stone will be merciful and use more of my spiritual power. In a month, your father could walk on those feet. But he did injure the tendons and bones in his leg, so he will probably walk with a limp in the future.]

Even if he walks with a limp, it's fine as long as he's fine! Over the past few days, Yu Xiaocao had clearly understood that his father was the main pillar of their second branch. If he collapsed, then the entire second branch would also be destroyed.

Madam Zhang, who had been silent for a few days, also had no hope for Yu Hai's recovery. He started yelling again, “What time is it now? Nobody feeds pigs, nor does anyone collect firewood. Are we still going to continue living? If you are not going to work, go! Our family doesn't accept slackers! ”

Madam Liu, who had always been in a state of anxiety lately, would immediately get up from the bed whenever she heard Madam Zhang's shout. The days of worry and hard work had caused Lady Liu's skin to become paler than Yu Hai, who was lying on the bed.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaocao hurriedly said, “Xiaolian and I can take care of the housework. Mom, you should lie down and rest again! Don't worry, it's the best news that Dad's condition isn't getting worse. I will never have the heart to part with a wife so virtuous and children so intelligent as we are. My father was an honest and fearless person, so he could definitely pass this hurdle! Mom, you have to trust Dad! ”

“Tiny girl! Who praises themselves like you? ” Mistress Liu's anxious heart calmed down somewhat as she pretended to glare at the little girl. Despite endless work and scolding in this family, her husband was really kind to her. As long as her husband could survive this misfortune, she would not complain even if she was having difficulties.

Madam Liu lowered her head and silently looked at Yu Hai. After so many years, this was the first time he had looked at her so carefully. For five days he was unconscious, he looked very calm, as if he was asleep. It was as if she would suddenly open her eyes at the next moment, smile at him foolishly, and then call her maiden name —— Muyun.

Hopefully, as Xiaocao said, he can survive this hurdle…
