Chapter 97 We Have A Horse
Su Jiuyue hurriedly helped her grandma up and patted her on the back.
After grandma got her breath again, Su Jiuyue stepped aside, just like a background plate.
She was in a coma again, which may be due to being tired of crying or too weak.
Su Jiuyue wanted to speak but stopped at a second thought.
Noticing her abnormality, Liu Cuihua said, "Jiuyue, what's up?"
Su Jiuyue shook his head, "Mum, I think grandma was keeping depression to herself. My master once told me that to alleviate the depression, we can decoct ten grams of Poria mixed with three grams of liquorice and drink it."
Liu Cuihua bacame dazed for a moment. She did not expect that what Su Jiuyue learned from Master Huang every day came in handy.
She certainly trusted her daughter-in-law, so she knew that Jiuyue was sure of what she said.
But her mother had a son, so she had no right to make any decision for her mother.
"You stay in the yard and I'll talk to your uncle."
Su Jiuyue and Wu Xiyuan nodded obediently. Watching her enter the room, Wu Xiyuan whispered to Su Jiuyue, "There's a horse outside!"
Children could seldom see tall horses, so they felt excited when seeing someone coming.
He shared this joy with Su Jiuyue immediately. But she became stunned and nervous.
Horse? How could there be a horse?
Did they come here to find someone?
With numerous questions popping into her mind, she held Wu Xiyuan's hand and urged him, "Xiyuan, if someone comes later, stand beside me and don't say anything."
Wu Xiyuan was even more puzzled than she was and looked at her strangely, "How could there be someone? I don't see anyone. Huahua only told me there was a horse outside."
Huahua was a cat raised by the Liu Family. Xiyuan had just been playing with it in the yard.
Su Jiuyue could not understand his thought. However, Wu Xiyuan took her hand and ran to the outside of the yard.
"Let's go and see!"
Wu Xiyuan dragged her out of the door and then ran to the village entrance.
The Liu Village had low terrain, and there was a river at the village entrance, which had dried up some days ago.
However, the river had some water again due to heavy snows in the previous period.
A tall horse was drinking by the river. With the midday sun pouring down on its back, its reddish-brown hair shone with a healthy sheen as it moved.
Seeing the horse in the distance, Su Jiuyue felt that she might be shorter than the leg of the horse.
Boys were born to be fond of horses. Wu Xiyuan took Su Jiuyue's hand and jumped in excitement, "Big horse! Big horse! Beep!"
Unlike him, Su Jiuyue was a bit panicked.
The horse was so tall that she guessed it could kill her with a foot.
She frowned at the thought of it.
The horse had no bridle or saddle blanket, so she knew it was a wild horse from the mountain. But she didn't know why it appeared here.
Seeing her staring at the horse as if in a trance, Wu Xiyuan gently shook her arm, "Let's see the horse, OK?"
Su Jiuyue was still hesitant, "Will it be afraid of us?"
Wu Xiyuan tilted his head and thought about it, "Let me ask it?"
When he came a little closer, the horse did not run but looked at him with its head crooked.
He and the horse were looking at each other's eyes. Wu Xiyuan was excited with joy and his eyes lit up.
"Will you be afraid of us?"
The horse gave a long neigh. Su Jiuyue couldn't understand what it meant, but Wu Xiyuan became more excited.
"My wife and I really like you!"
"Are you hungry? But there's no food here......"
"I have food at home! Would you like to come home with me?"
The horse also approached him happily and rubbed his hand.
Seeing Wu Xiyuan jerking the horse around, Su Jiuyue felt so helpless that she wondered whether her mother-in-law would be happy or sad when knowing the horse will be raise in the family.
Liu Cuihua told her eldest brother to buy the medicine. Liu Dalin was not reluctant to spend money to treat his mother's illness, but he couldn't depend on what Su Jiuyue said because she was too young.
"Your daughter-in-law is very young. Can I believe what she said? If the medicine does not work, wasting money is not a big deal! But the problem is that mum can't stand it!"
In fact, Liu Cuihua didn't tell him about a key point that her daughter-in-law was a bit mysterious and was destined to be blessed.
Even the God would give her a warning when something terrible happened.
Though the medicine she suggested to buy was not precious, it might be helpful.
But she also knew that it was too mysterious to make her eldest brother believe her. After weighing the advantages and disadvantages for a long time, she said, "We'd better send for a village doctor!"
If Master Huang hadn't gone to the mountain together with Zongyuan today, she would have begged him to check the health of her mother. But now she could only find a village doctor first.
Liu Dalin agreed and then invited Doctor Zhang from the neighboring village to his home.
After feeling the pulse for her mother, Doctor Zhang walked out of the room and sighed. He lowered his voice, "She was in a bad state and you'd better prepare funeral affairs for her."
Liu Cuihua instantly went all weak at the knees, rolled her eyes and fainted.
Su Jiuyue quickly held her and pinched her philtrum. Liu Cuihua slowly woke up.
She got panic and cried again, "What can we do?"
It was a disaster for the Liu Family that her nephew was taken away. What was worse, her mother was on the verge of death, which exacerbated the difficulties in the Liu Family.
Su Jiuyue hugged her and was also extremely anxious, "Mum, take it easy. We still have my master. He could effect a miraculous cure and bring grandma back to life."
What Su Jiuyue said reminded Liu Cuihua that Master Huang may save the life of her mother. So she was clutching at straws, "Yes! Master Huang can save my mum! But he is in the mountain. Is it too late?"
"We have a horse, so we can make it!"
At this moment, Su Jiuyue felt gratified that Wu Xiyuan had obtained a horse through jerking it around. A horse could run much faster than people.
"Horse?" Liu Cuihua looked puzzled, "Did we have a horse?"
Su Jiuyue took out a handkerchief and helped her wipe her face, "Xiyuan picked it up just now."
Liu Cuihua, "......"
Her daughter-in-law was really a mascot. Since she came to their family, they did not live tough days, but they lived a prosperous life.
And they even picked up a horse.
"Where's the horse? Is it big? Can we sit on it?"
"Outside the door. Xiyuan is playing with it. Let's see it."
When she spoke slowly and methodically, Liu Cuihua feel at ease and then nodded, "Let's go and have a look."
