The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 107 - A Whole Family
After saying goodbye to Xin Xia, Xin Chen was intending to look for her Brother and Father.
The streets are crowded with residents. Xin Chen covered his face with a cloak hood for fear that his path would be obstructed if he were to be recognized, right now the most important thing was to look for the two of them.
Walking some distance past the crowd of people, Xin Chen arrived at the courtyard of a house that was the same as the one he had visited earlier. Only the difference now that place began to be visited by many people.
Xin Chen's steps came to a sudden halt when he heard the woman's shrill voice, panic and fear on the doorstep. And only then did Xin Chen realize that Xin Zhan and Xin Fai had reached home.
"Young Master! Finally you return, Madam Ren is not breathing! Please Young Master, do something!!" Tears were on the maid's face. His voice was shaking violently.
Xin Zhan and the panicked Xin Fai rushed straight into the house, the place was now filled with healers and some medicinal experts. Their faces were deathly pale, losing the spirit to deal with Ren Yuan's current condition.
The arrival of the two of them gave hope to those in the room. Xin Zhan touched Ren Yuan's wrist, his pulse was extremely weak. Ren Yuan's own heartbeat was so slow that he could barely hear it.
Xin Fai was trying to understand the situation, seeing the painful face of his wife at that time, he knew very well that the disease lodged in Ren Yuan's body had become more and more violent. No one knew where this all began, while Xin Zhan knew more about Ren Yuan's current illness.
Deftly Xin Zhan concocted some medicine, just a simple medicine that was not so powerful. His face was worried not because of. Xin Fai himself had worked out several ways, none of which worked.
Their attention was locked on Xin Chen who entered the room, no different from worrying about them all.
"Chen, mom's dying!" Xin Zhan panicked, he no longer knew what to do. While pitting at the healer, they all shook their heads a sign had no way of saving Ren Yuan.
So far Ren Yuan's condition has deteriorated several times suddenly and they always have medicine to handle it. But just to get there, now Ren Yuan's situation is getting worse and the drugs that previously worked no longer work for him.
"What's your mom sick?"
"It's not time to question that, you fool! Do something!"
"You're the same as asking the doctor to cure you without saying what the disease is," Xin Chen protested. Xin Zhan took a deep breath, in the midst of this panic he had to calm down. After taking a breath, the young man looked at Ren Yuan as he said, "No one knows yet what illness the mother is suffering from, but some say, this disease was brought from the Qing Empire. That's all I know. Quickly find a way to save mom."
While they were deliberating Xin Fai was doing some treatment with the Fire Flower, one of the remedies he created himself by utilizing the excess of the Fire Flower power on his forehead. Some of the absorbed pure energy will be channeled to the patient's body, repairing damaged tissues and organs. Although sometimes, its effectiveness is not enough to deal with malignant diseases.
In the tension in the room, when Ren Yuan took a slow breath then everything was relieved. Xin Zhan whose face was the paleest at that moment and when he saw Ren Yuan breathing again, both of his legs seemed to have fallen. He sits on the floor.
"Hey, are you okay?" Xin Chen patted the shoulder of Xin Zhan who was still pondering, it seemed that he had yet to recover from his shock.
"As usual, Young Master First Xin was very worried about her mother. He's still shocked." The voice of a healer, he could only speak after passing through the tense seconds earlier. Xin Fai said slowly. "I don't know exactly what disease my wife is suffering from. But if the disease is not yet known in our place, you should immediately prepare some drug experts. We have to figure out the ins and outs of this disease."
"And to save Ren Yuan."
The sadness on his face could no longer be described. After he had to be saved, now Ren Yuan had to be saved as well. They were forced to be separated by a completely unfriendly situation. What Xin Fai could see was his second son, he did nothing. But inside his head there was a great berserk.
The chief physician's explanation was enough to explain, their side could not help at all.
"Mother will be fine," Xin Chen muttered. Although everyone knew that the woman's life had almost been taken. "Not to be afraid, I'm here. My father and sister too. Sleep briefly. I'll make you some soup."
Xin Chen left from there, heading towards the kitchen that had currently been in a complete mess. Several medicinal plants and small mashed tools splattered.
On the other hand, Xin Zhan was starting to feel guilty. He looked at his sister just now, the smile on his face never lasted long. And in this long time, Xin Chen had never known of the illness. Xin Zhan was sure for sure now Xin Chen was thinking of how to find a cure for Ren Yuan's illness. By whatever means.
The doctor came home a while ago. Only a few servants and bodyguards stayed, it was no more than three people because in their own families they did not want to hire anyone.
The smell of soup was smelled from the middle room accompanied by the sound of footprints leading to the room. Xin Fai and Xin Zhan stopped their chatter when they saw Xin Chen coming over with a pot of soup. But something strange came from his face. He seemed reluctant to look at the two people.
"You're cooking soup?" Xin Zhan knitted his brows in astonishment.
"Ha, why?" His sister answered a little. Immediately Xin Zhan stood up, picked up the spoon and tasted the cuisine. Xin Zhan was about to spit out his mouth, "You made a bitter soup or potion the smell of chicken armpits?!"
"So your mouth, brother. This is soup I made a lot of effort. I put in some herbal ingredients that-"
"Food is food, medicine is medicine! Spend your own food!"
Xin Chen nagged angrily, "There was me saying I cooked this for you?!"
The weight offended Xin Zhan. And only yesterday they were a henchman and acted like adults. Back to the house their boy's behavior reappeared.
"Just come home you've been giving birth to. All right, I'll follow your game. Want to duel now?"
"Who's afraid. If you lose, you finish this one pot of food huh," Xin Chen threatened solemnly. Xin Zhan flinched.
"Have Dad spend it."
His two sons looked at Xin Fai who was busy chugging green tea, the man's turn flinched. But his lips instantly felt unable to refuse Xin Chen's cooking, the second child was hoping for an answer. And Xin Fai did not want to destroy the expectations of her second child for her cooking.
"Of course, Chen'er's cooking was indeed incomparable! Just hurry up and get there. Need what? Spear, pot, sack or bomb? Daddy love! Quick go there, hush, hush." His intentions while his two children were fighting Xin Fai escaped secretly, but it seemed that Xin Chen already knew of his plan first.
"Dad kicked us out to escape?"
The three laughed, until they finally fell silent suddenly when they heard another voice laughing.
