The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 24

When Mu Jinxi was eating, she was still thinking about whether she would quietly go to the riverside to investigate the situation at night when the moon was dark and the wind was high. Who knew that not only did she fail to go, but she never got up after falling asleep!The reason is that she was injured and then fell ill again!

Papa Mu and Mu Jinhua hurriedly sold the wild boar for some money and invited the doctor. The doctor said it was because she hadn't completely recovered from her previous illness, and she was injured again, hurting her spleen and lungs. , That's why I got sick like a mountain. If I want to get well this time, I'm afraid I'll have to spend a little time and energy on recuperation, and next time, maybe I'll have to stay on the sick bed for the rest of my life.

The doctor's words made everyone in the Mu family tense up, and Xiao Bao was also terrified. Although he couldn't understand what the doctor said, his mother's lying motionless on the bed still scared him, but she was sensible. I don't want to cry, for fear that I will disturb my sick mother.

In addition, Xiao Bao still insisted on staying with his grandma by Young's side, even though he could barely wipe his mother's face with a silk cloth, he felt more at ease this way.

It was two days after Mu Jinxi woke up again.As soon as she opened her eyes, the first thing she felt after she came back to her senses was that she was tired. She was too tired. In her previous life, even if she went to work every day for 360 days a year, she would not be so tired. It was like going through a tragic car accident. Comfortable.

"Hmm..." Mu Jinxi couldn't help but let out a painful moan just as she wanted to move.

My god, what the hell is going on?She just fell asleep, why did she wake up as if she had been run over by a truck?Could it be that she traveled through time again, and then changed into another even worse body?

A ridiculous idea came to Mu Jinxi's mind, but when she saw the environment she was in, her heart calmed down again for some reason.

Still in the original place, not changed, not changed.

"Mother! You're awake!" Xiaobao walked in with something in his hands, and seeing his mother wake up, he was so excited that he almost spilled the medicine on his hands.

With a shaking of his hand, he hurriedly stabilized himself, put the medicine bowl on a table without a corner in the room, and quickly ran to the bedside, and said with red eyes: "Mother, you scared Xiaobao to death, mother!" She clearly said she wouldn't scare Xiaobao, but mother lay still, mother is lying."

Mu Jinxi said with some embarrassment: "Well, Xiaobao, mother is just too tired and just took a nap. Do you think mother is all right now?"

Afraid that Xiaobao would say something that would be overwhelming, Mu Jinxi turned her eyes and saw the bowl with faint smoke on the table and shouted: "Hey, Xiaobao, what did you bring in just now? It's for food." Is it? Mother is very hungry. You came just in time."

Xiaobao said ah, turned back to the table, carefully picked up the bowl and walked to the bedside, and said in a childish voice: "Mother, this is medicine, drink it quickly, it will be fine after drinking it. You drank the medicine, and Xiaobao helped you get food."

Mu Jinxi took the bowl moved, looked at the pitch-black soup, and swallowed involuntarily.It was the first time in her life to drink traditional Chinese medicine. In her previous life, she had a resident family doctor in her own home. Whether it was as small as a cold and headache, or as serious as sickness and bedridden, there was a special doctor to treat it. Taking medicine was also taking pills... Never drank Over Chinese medicine!
I didn't expect to drink it here. I heard that Chinese medicine is very bad... Mu Jinxi looked at the medicine bowl in her hand with some hesitation.

In modern times, although she is a high-ranking and arrogant president in front of outsiders, in fact, she doesn't like taking medicine very much in private - well, she is afraid that it will not work.In order not to get sick or take medicine, she has been paying attention to health preservation and exercising. Even though she is very busy at work, she rarely says that she will be so tired that she will fall ill.

"Mother, drink quickly, or it will be cold." Xiao Bao didn't understand his mother's inner entanglement, and urged her with concern.

Mother will get better soon only after drinking the medicine!
Mu Jinxi pulled out a stiff smile, closed her eyes, took a deep breath and gulped down the medicine in the bowl in one go.After drinking, the bitter taste in her mouth made her frown tightly.

"Mother, here you are."

Mu Jinxi looked up, and saw a... candy lying in Xiaobao's small palm?

"Xiaobao, this is..." Mu Jinxi was a little suspicious.

Xiaobao nodded shyly and said: "Mother, this is the candy that Xiaobao hid. Mother is bitter after drinking the medicine, but it will not be bitter after eating the candy."

Mu Jinxi was startled, "But there's only one, mother eats it and you'll lose it."

Xiaobao pursed his lips, swallowed, and looked at the candy in his hand with some reluctance and covetousness, but finally said firmly: "It's okay, mother, eat it, and Xiaobao will eat it later."

Mu Jinxi felt an indescribable emotion welling up in her heart, and it seemed to be full all of a sudden, this was the first time she felt such a feeling.It was novel and shocking, she thought maybe this is the love between mother and child!

It was the first time that she really felt that she was really a mother. Although she didn't personally feel the process, Xiaobao was indeed separated from this body. What is the connection between flesh and blood? I really felt it.

"Xiaobao, mother doesn't need to eat, mother is an adult, you can eat it! After eating, mother will buy you something more delicious!" Mu Jinxi said slowly.

Xiaobao met her dark eyes, was stunned for a moment, then blinked and insisted: "Mother eats, Xiaobao doesn't eat."

Mu Jinxi smiled softly, "Then we are half of each other?"

Xiaobao's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay!"

Mu Jinxi picked up the candy, took a small bite, the sweet taste immediately spread on the tip of her tongue, completely replaced the previous bitterness, and slowly penetrated into her heart.

Xiaobao also happily put the remaining half into his mouth, and kept saying things like delicious and sweet.

"By the way, Xiaobao, where are grandpa and the others?" Why is there no one?

"Mother, they are going to the field."

Mu Jinxi was taken aback, Xiatian?Uh, shouldn't she be glad that she doesn't have to go to the fields when she's sick?Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be ruined immediately.

Mu Jinxi's gaze shifted, and she landed on the bowl that had just been filled with medicine, and asked with a beating heart, "Xiaobao, where did this medicine come from? Don't you have no money at home?"

Xiao Bao blinked and replied, "It's wild boar meat!"

The corner of Mu Jinxi's mouth twitched, her heart turned cold.

Well, I finally got a little money, and it's not hot yet, and it will be gone soon, the trend of prodigals!
She originally thought of using it as capital!The result is gone again!

Mu Jinxi wanted to cry but had no tears.
