Chapter 643: Severe Illness

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yu Niaoniao rushed out of the cave like a gust of wind and ran towards the camp.

Because she ran too quickly, she accidentally tripped over the vines.

Fortunately, there were thick weeds on the ground, so it did not hurt her much to fall on them.

Ling Hai, who had caught up, hurriedly helped her up and asked with concern.

“Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?”

Yu Niaoniao waved her hand to indicate that she was fine.

When they rushed to the camp, they happened to see Xiao Juan and the others preparing to go out to look for them.

The two sides met at the entrance of the camp, both shocked and happy.

Yu Niaoniao ran over and threw herself into Xiao Juan’s arms, shouting excitedly.

“Ah Juan! I knew it was you! I knew it!”

Xiao Juan hugged her tightly and lowered his head, greedily absorbing the warmth from her body.

When he saw the burned wooden house just now, he felt like his world was spinning. It was as if the entire world had collapsed. He thought he would never see Niaoniao again.

Fortunately, the heavens were not that cruel.

Niaoniao was still alive.

She returned safely to him.

Everyone looked at the two of them hugging tightly and smiled kindly in unison.

Shen Xu still felt indescribable envy.

He wondered when he would be able to hug the woman he loved without any worries like Xiao Juan.

When the two of them separated, Shen Xu walked forward and asked.

“Why are you the only ones back? Where’s Tang Guixi?” Xiao Juan said, “She’s still leading troops to attack Heng City.”

Shen Xu could not help but worry. “Will she be fine?”

Xiao Juan was very calm about this. “Don’t worry, she will definitely win this battle.”

Hearing this, Yu Niaoniao hurriedly asked for the reason.

Xiao Juan explained patiently.

“The Chen Army sent someone to negotiate with us and even used your lives as a bargaining chip to threaten us. It must be because there’s a problem in Heng City. They can’t hold on anymore and can only use this plan. I retreated with my troops first. Then, Tang Guixi pretended to retreat from Heng City. When the Chen Army in Heng City sees that we’ve all left, they will definitely relax their vigilance. Once they relax, they will expose themselves. At that time, Tang Guixi can attack Heng City unprepared.”

Yu Niaoniao looked enlightened. “No wonder the Chen Army attacked us. They wanted to use us to disturb your morale.”

Hearing this, Shen Xu, Ling Hai, and the others could not help but rejoice.

Fortunately, Yu Niaoniao reacted quickly and escaped with them.

In this way, not only did they protect their lives, but they also destroyed the Chen Army’s evil plan, causing the Eastern Expedition Army to have no worries.

The two sides were reconciled. The crisis was temporarily resolved. Everyone could rest well for a while.

They buried the pot and cooked. Soon, smoke curled up.

Smelling the fragrance of the food, Yu Niaoniao felt even hungrier.

But this was not the time to eat. She had serious things to do.

Previously, when the Chen Army attacked the camp, Yu Niaoniao organized everyone to counterattack and escape. Many people were injured in the battle.

She gathered all these injured people and asked Lo Pingsha to treat them with the military doctors.

Xiao Juan found Yu Niaoniao and handed her a bowl of hot soup. “Nanny Xiu Yan just cooked it. Eat it while it’s hot.”

As soon as Yu Niaoniao smelled the fragrance, her stomach growled.

Ignoring the heat, she picked up the bowl and ate.

There were some wild vegetables added to the soup. The soup was cooked with wild chicken and was very fragrant.

The large bowl of soup quickly bottomed out.

She licked the bottom of the bowl reluctantly and asked expectantly, “Is there any more?”

Xiao Juan said that there was more and asked her to wait. He left with the empty bowl and soon brought back a large bowl of soup.

Yu Niaoniao ate a little slower this time.

Seeing that Xiao Juan had been standing quietly at the side and looking at her, she asked him, “Have you eaten?”

Xiao Juan said that he had already eaten and told her to eat at ease. Granny Xiu Yan had cooked a lot of soup. If it was not enough, there was more.

Yu Niaoniao immediately smiled. “That’s great!”

Xiao Juan was puzzled. “Huh?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “It’s good to be alive to see you again and eat such delicious food!”

It was not that she was not afraid of the Chen Army’s surprise attack. She just did not want to die.

If she died, she would never see the person she loved again, never taste delicious food, and her life would be hastily ended. How regretful.

She did not want to accept such an ending. No matter how afraid she was, she had to grit her teeth and remain calm. She had to live with courage.

The second bowl of soup was wiped clean again. fr eewebn ovel.com

Yu Niaoniao still felt that she had not had enough. She returned the empty bowl to Xiao Juan and said boldly.

“Another bowl!”

Xiao Juan brought her another bowl of soup without a word.

Seeing this scene, Shen Xu could not help but say, “Yu Niaoniao, aren’t you eating too much?”

Yu Niaoniao glanced at him sideways. ‘What did you call me?”

Shen Xu changed his address aggrievedly.

“Cousin-in-law.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “I didn’t eat your rice. Why do you care how much I ate?”

Shen Xu said angrily, “I can’t be bothered with how much you eat. I’m worried that your stomach won’t be able to digest it. You haven’t looked well for the past two days. You should be feeling unwell. Now that you’re suddenly eating too much, it’s not good for your health. You really don’t know how to appreciate good intentions!”

Yu Niaoniao was quite surprised. She did not expect this rash heir to know how to care about people.

Xiao Juan immediately asked, “Niaoniao, are you feeling unwell? Are you sick?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “I’m fine. I haven’t eaten much in the past two days, so my expression naturally won’t be too good. I’ll be fine now that I’m full. Don’t worry.”

She did look a little rosy now. She didn’t look sick.

However, to be on the safe side, Xiao Juan still called Lo Pingsha over.

Since he was already in front of her, Yu Niaoniao had no choice but to put down the soup reluctantly and extend her right hand. She did not forget to mutter softly, “I’m really fine.”

Lo Pingsha placed two fingers on her wrist and carefully felt the pulse.

For some reason, he took much longer than usual to take her pulse.

Seeing this, Xiao Juan had a bad feeling—

It was just a pulse check. With Lo Pingsha’s medical skills, he would usually come to a conclusion quickly. Why did it take so long this time? Could it be that it was a bad diagnosis?

Yu Niaoniao was still thinking about the bowl of unfinished soup and was very anxious.

Seeing that Lo Pingsha had not made a sound, she could not help but ask, “Are you not ready yet?”

Lo Pingsha frowned slightly, his expression unprecedentedly serious.

“Can I ask you a question?”

Seeing him like this, Xiao Juan’s heart sank again.. Could it be that he had guessed correctly that Niaoniao was really seriously ill?
