Chapter 129 Shen Wanning is sick
After killing the two Heiba brothers, Shen Wanning sat on the hillside, feeling the wind for a long time. This was her first time killing someone, and it was completely different from the education she had received in modern times.
However, she has no regrets.
All she did was to protect her family. Besides, the deaths of these two people were not worth it.
The night breeze cleared her mind. Seeing the time was almost one in the morning, she finally got up and returned home.
Lin Jingce knew that Shen Wanning would stay in the village to deal with the refugees, so he went to the county town alone in the morning without waiting for Shen Wanning.
It was past ten in the morning, and Shen Wanning was still in her room. Aunt Zhang and Madam Xu were sitting in the yard picking vegetables, their eyes occasionally glancing towards her door.
"Ms. Xu, it's already this late, why hasn't Wan Ning gotten up yet? Is she sick?" Aunt Zhang was picking the vegetables in her hand absentmindedly, feeling a little worried.
"Wan Ning likes to sleep in occasionally, that should be okay, right? Maybe she's been too busy these days and is tired." Xu answered casually.
Before they could even talk for a few words, Captain Yan came running into the yard with a large group of people.
"Aunt Zhang, is Miss Shen at home?" Captain Yan looked serious, as if something big had happened.
Aunt Zhang and Madam Xu both stood up at the same time. Aunt Zhang asked, "What's going on? Why are you so anxious? Wan Ning hasn't gotten up yet! Why don't you wait a moment and I'll go get her."
"The two Heiba brothers are dead! We need to transport their bodies back to the county, so we came here specifically to tell Miss Shen. As for Heiba's other brothers, I'd like to ask Miss Shen how to deal with them."
Awakened by the sound of voices outside, Shen Wanning slowly opened her eyes. She had just put on her shoes and gotten out of bed. As she stood up, her vision went dark and she nearly fell to the ground. Fortunately, she was quick to grab the bed curtain.
She stood there for a while, adjusted herself, put on her clothes, then opened the door and walked out.
"Oh my God, Wan Ning, why is your face so pale? Are you sick?" Aunt Zhang exclaimed and ran over to touch Shen Wan Ning's forehead.
"Mom, I'm fine. I might be too tired these days." Shen Wanning spoke weakly, her voice much softer than usual.
Aunt Zhang ignored her words and put her hand on her forehead. "It's so hot, how can you be okay? Go back and lie down. I'll call a doctor to check on you."
As she spoke, Aunt Zhang was about to run out. Shen Wanning quickly grabbed her sleeve and said, "Mom, I'm fine. The officials are still waiting here, let's deal with the matter first."
"Oh! You just worry too much. You are busy all day long and never have a moment's rest. Otherwise, you would not fall ill." Although Aunt Zhang said this, she still helped her sit on the stool in the yard.
"Captain Yan, could you please say it again?" After sitting down, Shen Wanning looked up at Captain Yan.
Captain Yan nodded, feeling a little sorry for the young girl. "This morning, when we were working, we noticed that the Heiba brothers and their followers were missing, so I took it upon myself to lead the other refugees in a search. We later found them in the back mountains. Strangely, the Heiba brothers were already dead. Our preliminary tests suggest they were killed by a venomous snake bite. However, the others were only unconscious and not seriously injured."
"Where are the others? Are they awake?" Shen Wanning took a sip of water and asked casually.
"Not yet, that's why I wanted to ask Miss Shen, what should we do with these people? We need to take the bodies of the Heiba brothers back to the county government office. As for the others, we should wait until they wake up before interrogating them."
Shen Wanning tapped the bowl lightly with her index finger and said, "Then let's lock these people up in the woodshed first! I'll interrogate them, and you guys deal with the bodies of the Heiba brothers first."
"Okay, then I'll trouble Miss Shen. I'll leave half of my men behind to continue watching these refugees. If Miss Shen needs anything, you can just give them instructions."
"Thank you, Captain Yan. If they wake up, I will interrogate them immediately. As for the result, we will wait until Captain Yan comes back." Shen Wanning struggled to get up, but stumbled.
Captain Yan hurriedly took a few steps forward and was about to support her, but Xu got there first.
"Oh, Miss Wan Ning, you're already so sick, just sit down for now! I'll go see these officials out."
Captain Yan immediately continued, "Miss Shen, please take some rest. We're leaving first."
"Okay." Shen Wanning nodded without saying any more pleasantries.
As soon as Captain Yan left, Aunt Zhang was about to help her back to her room. "Oh, you're in such a bad state, and you're still thinking about interrogating those people! Go back to your room and get some rest. I'll have Mrs. Xu go find a doctor."
"Mom, I'm fine. There's no need to see a doctor. I'll be fine after a rest." She didn't want to drink those bitter and smelly Chinese medicines. She would rather eat some modern fever-reducing pills.
She has seen that many netizens in the live broadcast room are concerned about her and have sent her a lot of cold and fever-reducing medicines, and even IV bottles with prepared medicines.
"How can that be? If you are sick, you have to see a doctor. Don't be afraid of the bitter medicine. Mom will ask your second brother to buy you some candied fruits. He is going to the town to buy steamed buns, so it's just a matter of convenience." Aunt Zhang touched her head again with concern.
"Mom, there's really no need. I've been in good health since I was a child, so I'll be fine after a good night's sleep. By the way, Mom, if those people wake up, remember to call me and I'll go interrogate them myself."
"Okay, okay, you are really something. You are still worrying about this when you are sick. Go and rest. If your fever hasn't subsided in the afternoon, I will find a doctor to see you." Aunt Zhang covered her with a thin quilt.
"Mom, can you help me get a bowl of hot water?" Shen Wanning looked at the various medicines that had surged in the express station and quickly sent Aunt Zhang away.
"Yes, yes, if you have a fever, you need to drink more hot water. Wait, I'll get you a bowl of hot water."
After a while, Aunt Zhang came in with a bowl of water. "Come on, child, drink quickly. I'll hold you. Or how about I get you a cake so you can eat before you go to sleep?"
"Mom, I don't have an appetite now. I'll take a nap first and eat later."
"Okay, then remember to drink this water while it's hot. I'll be leaving first. Remember to call me if you need anything!"
After Aunt Zhang left, Shen Wanning took out the antipyretic medicine from the express station and drank it with the bowl of water.
In her dream, she seemed to see the two brothers, Heiba and Heibao, grinning and running towards her. She was startled and suddenly woke up.
She glanced at the time. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon. She had slept for almost three hours. Her back was wet and she was sweating.
I reached out and touched my forehead. The fever should have subsided and I felt much better.
Only then did she realize that she was a little hungry, so she took out a bag of bread from the express station and started eating. After eating, she stretched and went out immediately.
