Chapter 116
Chapter 116
Luo Fei was chased out by Erbao.
Erbao had annoyance written all over her face as she said, “You are not welcome here, woman. I don’t want you here with us.”
Luo Fei wasn’t afraid of the little girl, but the annoyed Erbao was holding a baby snake in her hand.
It was a very young, very small snake that Dabao had caught inside the cabin after determining that the snake was harmless.
Ning Ran was also terrified, but Erbao loved it and insisted on keeping it. Erbao even refused to let the snake out of her hand.
Thus, the cute baby became a little witch with a snake in her arms. No one dared to get close to her, and she had fun playing with it.
Since it was confirmed that the snake was not poisonous and had no teeth, Dabao let his baby sister keep it as a pet and claimed that it was okay.
The only downside was that Ning Ran and the others had to deal with and stay away from the tiny witch with a snake.
Naturally, Erbao didn’t like the idea of Luo Fei butting into her home so Erbao used the snake to chase Luo Fei out of the cabin.
Ning Ran knew what was going on but she acted innocent and looked away because she didn’t want that Luo Fei to live under the same roof either.
“What’s wrong?” asked Nan Chen as he approached them.
“That kid is making the snake bite me!” said Luo Fei while she pointed at Erbao.
“That is a toothless, harmless snake,” explained Nan Chen with a frown, “it can’t hurt you.”
“But I’m scared,” said Luo Fei who acted helpless, “I’ve always been terrified of snakes.”
“Then go stay in that house with Qiao Zhan.”
Luo Fei was troubled because she wanted to stay with Nan Chen.
Since there were only three cabins, the one in the middle had been assigned to Ning Ran and the kids while Nan Chen and Qiao Zhan shared one. The remaining cabin was occupied by the other workers and the two criminals.
Since Luo Fei made her appearance, the best arrangement was to have her, Ning Ran and the kids share the same cabin, but Erbao refused to do so, and Luo Fei had no choice but to switch with Nan Chen.
Even though she wasn’t happy about it, Luo Fei had to agree to that arrangement.
After entering the cabin and seeing the bed made from leaves, the celebrity Luo Fei couldn’t get herself to lie down so she got out again.
“What now?” asked Nan Chen while frowning.
“Do we have any bedsheets?” asked Luo Fei.
Everyone was surprised to hear that. Bedsheets? What? You think you’re living in a five-star hotel?
Even Nan Chen was speechless about it so he just ignored her.
One hour later, Zheng Lunlun’s breathing became normal, but he was still unconscious.
Nan Chen was relieved to see that.
Although Zheng Lunlun and Nan Chen weren’t related by blood, Nan Chen had watched Zheng Lunlun grow up.
Zheng Lunlun’s beauty and his talent in acting had always been extraordinary so Nan Chen had been training and supporting Zheng Lunlun all this time.
Nan Chen had always viewed Zheng Lunlun as his own kid, and when he saw Zheng Lunlun lying there like he had died, Nan Chen felt like his world was crumbling.
Nan Chen was sitting beside Zheng Lunlun and watching Dabao instructing the others to apply a plant- based oil onto Zheng Lunlun’s body.
The oil stunk extremely badly.
“That oil can cure poison?” asked Nan Chen.
Dabao nodded with confidence. “This herb can cure poison. I’m not sure if it can cure the poison of that particular snake, but I think it works well with the hedyotis diffusa.”
Nan Chen nodded.
“However, this herb is also poisonous so we can’t use too much of it. We can only apply the oil twice a day or it’ll worsen the patient’s condition,” added Dabao, “For now at least, this method seems to be working.”
“Young Master, you are so knowledgeable!” exclaimed Qiao Zhan, “that’s amazing.”
Nan Chen looked at Dabao sweetly with love oozing out of his eyes.
“Don’t worry, just do your best,” said Nan Chen, “I’ll take responsibility if anything were to happen.”
“No, I am the one treating him,” said Dabao as he shook his head, “So if anything were to happen, I’ll take full responsibility.”
How brave and honorable that little kid was!
“Then I will bear that responsibility with you,” said Nan Chen, “As adults, it is our responsibility to save his life, so you’re basically doing our job for us.” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Dabao looked at Nan Chen and nodded.
Nan Chen also nodded in response.
Standing beside them, Qiao Zhan felt a little dizzy again. The same gesture made him feel like he’s seeing doubles.
“His breathing has obviously stabilized,” said Qiao Zhan, “Looks like Young Master Lun is about to wake up.”
That moment, Luo Fei, who was eavesdropping outside the cabin, was frightened to hear that Zheng Lunlun was about to wake up.
She was responsible for Zheng Lunlun being hurt so if he were to wake up, all her sins would be exposed!
She could not let Zheng Lunlun wake up. He must die! He cannot be allowed to wake up!
Inside the cabin, Erbao shook his head and said, “No, he won’t. That medicine had already been used twice so we can’t use it again. Let’s apply it tomorrow and see if he can wake up then.” “If we’re lucky, he may wake up tonight though.”
Qiao Zhan loved that Dabao was talking like he’s an adult and thought If only I have a son like that too!
“Don’t feel pressured,” said Nan Chen, “Lunlun will make it.”
That moment, Erbao barged in and said, “Mommy is sick!”
“What’s wrong?” asked Nan Chen.
“I don’t know,” replied Erbao, “Just sick.”
Nan Chen got out of the cabin and sat beside Ning Ran before asking, “What’s wrong with you?”
Ning Ran sat there like she was fine, but her face was a little red.
“What’s wrong?” asked Nan Chen.
“Nothing,” replied Ning Ran quietly.
“Then why did Erbao say that you are sick?” asked Nan Chen with a frown.
“I guess Erbao was lying,” said Ning Ran as she shrugged, “I am fine.”
“Be honest, what’s wrong?” asked Nan Chen who could tell that Ning Ran was hiding something.
“I’m fine!” said Ning Ran, “Don’t worry about me, go work or something.”
“You, come over here now,” said Nan Chen to Erbao.
Erbao was afraid of Nan Chen so she didn’t dare to disobey and walked over obediently.
“What’s up with your mommy?” asked Nan Chen as he stared at Erbao.
Erbao scratched her head and said, “Uhm… I’m not sure.”
“Then why did you say your mommy is sick? Were you lying?”
“Of course not!” said Erbao, “I saw mommy scratching herself.”
“Scratch herself?”
“Yeah, like this.” Erbao started to mimic Ning Ran, but she did a terrible job.
Nan Chen frowned. It took him some time to understand what she was trying to say, “Oh, you mean your mommy was itching?”
“I think so,” said Erbao, “In any case, mommy looked like she wasn’t feeling well.”
Nan Chen understood then. Ning Ran had been wearing her costume since they got lost in the woods a couple of days ago and had not been able to change her clothes or take a shower. It’d be weird if she wasn’t feeling unwell.
“Go get your mommy over,” Nan Chen told Erbao.
Erbao ran over and said, “Mommy, Third Uncle is asking for you.”
“Why?” asked Ning Ran who was confused and frowning.
“I don’t know.”
