129 Scary Teacher Bao (1/2)
Xia Lian and He Chun made several rounds along the wards to check the conditions of their patients. Both of them sighed in relief as all the patients were out of danger. Even the heart patient's condition stabilized, thus paying off her efforts the other day.
By the time they finished all the examinations, word has been sent from kitchen that the meals have been prepared. Xia Lian instructed the villagers to feed the patients who are not heavily injured with light porridge. She instructed the others to feed a particular medicinal liquid to the patients who are unconscious. Since, Salines are not available she asked them to feed them drop by drop using mini funnels. The men nodded in understanding and proceeded to complete their tasks. All the villagers were determined to help Doctor He's little friend. So, they did all the works diligently without any mistakes making it easy for Xia Lian. She told everyone to have their meals before leaving.
Xia Lian proposed the idea of paying them wages for their work but was dismissed off ruthlessly by He Chun. His reasoning was that the villagers helped them with a good intention and paying them wages would belittle them. Finding nothing wrong in his words,the little girl agreed with his thoughts and both of them parted their ways to rest for a while in their respective rooms.
Xia Lian felt her body numb from over-exhaustion. What she wanted at the moment is a good sleep. She instructed Fan Ling to wake her up after six hours as she wanted to start her internal qi training with Bao Su.
Her eyes started to droop and she fell into a deep slumber as soon as her tired body hit the bed. Fan Ling felt heavy in her heart on seeing her master tire herself out like this. She covered Xia Lian with a blanket and sat on the chair beside the bed to guard her defenceless master.
” Master, wake up..” the girl on the bed purred lightly making Fan Ling chuckle. After continuing her efforts for a while, Xia Lian finally sat on the bed while rubbing her eyes. She thanked Fan Ling with a sleepy voice and proceeded to the bathroom to wash her face.
By the time Xia Lian freshened up, Bao Su was waiting for her at the door. Leaving the little bunny in the care of Fan Ling, Xia Lian and Bao Su made their way towards the huge open ground at the back of their hospital.
The blazing afternoon sun made Xia Lian squint her eyes. Before she could ask her shadow guard anything, she found him bring out a heap of books.
”Should I read them?” she tilted her head in confusion.
” No..” Bao Su stopped walking when he was a foot away from her and placed the pile of books on her head. Three black lines appeared on her forehead. It shouldn't be what she is thinking, right? The little girl stared at Bao Su expectantly but he mercilessly slaughtered her wishful thoughts ” The first step is balancing and we will proceed to the next step only after you've managed to balance all these books on your head.”
” And you should keep your back straight and your eyes must always look forward..” a dark cloud materialised above Xia Lian's head immediately after his words fell. She grunted while straightening her body.
