Chapter 410: Chapter 410 Rescued_1

Despite taking the medicine, Mr. Tan did not wake up or show any signs of the fever subsiding, which made it difficult for Ada and the others to feel reassured quickly.

Ada was still somewhat hesitant, unsure about whether to fetch a doctor and get more medicine.

If Wei Ruo’s medicine was ineffective and they delay consulting a doctor, it could worsen Mr. Tan’s condition!

Noticing the hesitation in the group, Xiumei said, “Don’t worry, lives are at stake here. My lady wouldn’t have suggested this course of action if she wasn’t confident.”

Ada frowned, still unsure, “I know your lady wouldn’t risk a patient’s life just like that, but…” but whether the medicine would work remained uncertain.

Xiumei added, “If you are not convinced that the medicine my lady made will be able to cure your master, wait for four hours. If your master is not awake after four hours, you can proceed with your plan as planned, to go into the city to find a doctor.”

After some hesitation, Ada finally agreed.

Because even if they left now and successfully reached the city, and found a doctor, it wouldn’t be until tomorrow that they could bring the doctor back.

After an anxious wait of an hour and a half, Mr. Tan awoke.

To their surprise, upon touching Mr. Tan’s forehead, they found his fever had subsided.

It was truly amazing how quickly his fever had gone!

Later, Wei Ruo prepared a bowl of medicine for Mr. Tan and instructed Ada and the others to administer the medicine every six hours.

By the next morning, Mr. Tan had mostly recovered and looked refreshed, with no semblance of illness.

Knowing he had been cured by Wei Ruo’s medicine, Mr. Tan expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, Miss Wei. I really do not know how to thank you enough.”

“There’s no need for thanks. Our meeting here is a form of fate,” said Wei Ruo, speaking in a casual tone.

She never considered demanding favors or money in return in such a situation.

“Miss Wei, you are an extraordinary woman,” Mr. Tan acknowledged.

“You should rest well. Even though you’re almost fully recovered, you still need time to recuperate,” Wei Ruo advised.

Once Mr. Tan was out of danger, Ada, Aer, and the others immediately set off to join Xiu Fengyuan and Lu Yuhong in continuing the snow removal.

Today marked the sixth day, and they needed to expedite their progress.

Every additional day spent here increased the risk.

This time Mr. Tan had a cold, and luckily Wei Ruo was there to treat him. The next time somebody fell ill, they might not be as fortunate to have Wei Ruo’s medication available.

After three days of strenuous digging, they had only cleared around one fifth of the distance to the city gate.

If the weather didn’t improve and the snow didn’t melt, they would need to keep digging for another twelve days at their current pace…

Their spirits were a bit low.

These three days had exhausted them and left blisters on their hands.

Despite their regular martial arts and archery training, they were struggling.

Another twelve days of digging… they might not be able to manage…

But nonetheless, they had to continue digging.

By digging, at least they could take their fate into their own hands. If they stopped, they would be at the mercy of their circumstances.

Just when they thought it would take a long time to reach the city gate, a turning point arose.

At noon that day, after only a few bites of the dough cakes Wei Ruo had prepared for them, they saw several shadows in the distance against the vast white expanse of snow.

The figures were small and far off, but they were unmistakably humans.
