Sylvie was very surprised to see her brother.
There was dust on his clothes and stubble on his chin. He looked travel-worn, completely different from his previous image.
"What's wrong with Xiao Ling?" Sylvie asked.
"I don't know what happened, but he's suddenly bedridden and his life force is constantly depleting. We've found many doctors and pill refiners, but they can't tell what's wrong. Only one doctor said that he's depressed and has lost his passion for life. "Sylvie wiped her eyes and said," Brother, go see what's wrong with him. "
Sylvie didn't like to see women cry, even if it was his sister. He answered casually and went straight to Xiao Ling's courtyard.
Xiao Ling was lying on the bed, his face sallow and his eyes lifeless. In just two short months, he had become a bag of bones and looked a little scary.
When he saw Sylvie, he called out weakly, "Uncle."
Sylvie went to check on him and didn't say anything. He only glanced at him indifferently.
"Brother, how is Jin 'er?" Sylvie looked at him nervously.
Xiao Ling also looked at him nervously, not knowing what he would say.
"I can't tell for now." He let out a sigh of relief after hearing Sylvie's words. "What did he go through during this period of time? Tell me in detail."
Sylvie told him about how Xiao Ling was no longer obsessed with cooking and how he was wholeheartedly focused on managing the family. Then he said, "I noticed a while ago that he hasn't smiled in a long time. He's like a walking corpse. Then he suddenly fell ill. Those people we found couldn't do anything. If even you don't know what happened, what will he do?! "
She started crying again as she spoke.
Sylvie frowned impatiently and said, "You guys go out first. I have something to ask him in private."
Sylvie and the others didn't dare to disobey him, so they all left.
Sylvie casually set up a barrier and poured himself a cup of tea. He sat at the table and said softly, "Sima Youyue's idea?"
"Yes." Xiao Ling stopped pretending and sat up to meet his eyes.
"I knew you wouldn't come up with such an idea. She gave it to you? "
"Yes."
The medicine given by Sima Youyue was not harmful to the body. Although it would make the body slimmer, it would not affect the Qi, blood, and cultivation. Moreover, ordinary people would not be able to tell.
"Aren't you afraid that it won't work?"
"Trying is better than not trying at all. What if it works? So, don't I need your help now? "
"Tell me, how do you want me to help you?"
…
Sima Youyue wanted to look for Silmer when she heard that he was back, but she held herself back when she thought about Xiao Ling. She originally thought that it would take him a few days to help Xiao Ling, but she didn't expect to see him on the afternoon of her return.
Along with him were the people she didn't want to see.
"Miss Youyue, my brother-in-law said that your medical skills are very good. Please save my son!" Xiao Ling's father immediately pleaded when he saw Sima Youyue.
Syerni didn't say anything. Seeing that she was still a little uncomfortable, she subconsciously turned her face away.
"What's the matter with you guys?" She said this to Syerni and the others, but she was looking at Silmer and Xiao Ling who was being carried in.
Why did they come to her place? This was not part of their plan. Shouldn't Xiao Ling only get better after Silmer came back and got them to agree to let Xiao Ling continue cooking? Why did they bring him to her place?
"My son is seriously ill. My brother-in-law said that your medical skills are very good, so we want to ask you to save him," Xiao Ling's father said.
Sima Youyue saw that Silmer didn't want to say anything, so she nodded and said, "Then I'll try! But it might not work. I need to see the cause of his illness first. "
She pretended to check on Xiao Ling, then shook her head helplessly and said, "Mental illness needs mental medicine. I can't do anything."
However, the Xiao family thought that she was a capable person. They didn't tell her anything. She only took his pulse and she knew that it was a mental illness. It was clear that her medical skills were superb.
"You can find the cause of his illness so quickly. You must have a way to save him! Save him, and we'll give you anything you want, "Sylvie said in a firm tone.
"It's not that I don't want to help him, but I really can't." Sima Youyue said, "I know that you've always been against him cooking. If I tell you that you have to follow his wishes to save him, will you agree to let him cook?"
"Well …" The Xiao family hesitated.
"Is there no way to make him better? Aren't your medical skills amazing? Don't tell me you're just an empty title?! "Silmer said firmly.
"I don't need to prove to you that I'm just an empty title. If you had a way, would you still need to come to me?" Sima Youyue said sarcastically.
"Youyue." Silmer called her name.
Sima Youyue glanced at him and said, "Say it has nothing to do with my medical skills. Even if I cure him today, he'll still be like this tomorrow. He'll just suffer another round of pain. If that's the case, it's better for him to just die and suffer less. After all, the Xiao family won't agree to let him cook. If that's the case, why should we bother?! "
"Well …" Xiao Ling's father looked at Silmer, waiting for his opinion.
"Other than her, no one else in this world can save him," Silmer said.
"Is there no other choice?"
They could either die or let him do what he wanted to do.
"I don't have any, but you can ask other doctors. Maybe they'll have a way." Sima Youyue's meaning was obvious. If they didn't agree, they could only watch him die. She wouldn't do something useless anyway.
"Carry him back. We'll decide what to do after you've made a decision," Silmer said to the Xiao family. Then he turned to her and asked, "I heard that you're looking for me?"
"Yes," Sima Youyue said, "If it's convenient, I'd like to talk to you alone."
"Okay."
Silmer and Sima Youyue left. The Xiao family looked at the thin Xiao Ling and didn't know what to do.
"Bring him back, bring him back. We'll talk about it after the discussion." Xiao Ling's father said so the others could only follow.
Silmer and Sima Youyue went to the pavilion in the backyard. Sima Youyue made him a pot of tea.
Sima Youyue thought he would ask about Xiao Ling, but he didn't expect her to say directly, "Tell me, why are you looking for me?"
Sima Youyue didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I want to see Mu Lan. I need your help."
