Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 146 Critically ill
Zhao Min trotted all the way back to the Laifu Inn, and turned a deaf ear to the shopkeeper who was standing behind the counter asking him what he wanted to say, and went straight back to his room.

How to do?Zhao Min's heart was pounding like a deer, how could he be so flirtatious?
Zhao Min locked himself in the room and thought about the night, but he didn't think of a reason, so he simply didn't think about it.

In the evening, Zhao Min, who was about to cook, heard Tao Zhiyi shouting loudly in the lobby: "Master, master!"

Zhao Min quickly came out from the back kitchen: "What's wrong? What happened?"

When Zhao Min saw Tao Zhiyi, Tao Zhiyi looked anxious, and had already burst into tears: "Master, go and see my mother, she is dying!"

"What?" Zhao Min was also taken aback, quickly took off his apron, threw it to the other side, and ran out with Tao Zhiyi.

Looking at the thatched hut in front of him, Zhao Min also had feelings in his heart, but he didn't care about what he was thinking. After entering, he walked directly to Tao Zhiyi's mother's bed. , Zhao Min quickly began to feel her pulse.

Tao Zhiyi on the side was very worried, with tears streaming down his face, but now he was surprisingly quiet, afraid that he would disturb Zhao Min's thoughts and delay his mother's illness.

Zhao Min took extra long to feel her pulse this time, because she had already reached a conclusion in her mind at the first time, but she didn't want to believe that conclusion, so she repeatedly felt her pulse.

In the end, Zhao Min also gave up struggling, and after letting go, he looked at Tao Zhiyi's expectant expression and asked himself: "Master, how is it?"

Zhao Min didn't know how to say it, Tao Zhiyi's mother's pulse condition was weak, and I'm afraid she didn't have much time left, it was a disease caused by years of hard work.

Looking at Tang Zhiyong's clear eyes, Zhao Min didn't know what to say for a while, and silently lowered his head,
When Tao Zhiyi saw Zhao Min's appearance, he understood the meaning without her saying anything, and immediately grabbed Zhao Min's arm: "Master, is it true that my mother can't be saved? Please save her." !"

Zhao Min also felt powerless, and finally shook his head: "I'm sorry, apprentice."

At this time, the person on the bed opened his eyes: "Son."

As soon as he heard his mother calling him, Tao Zhiyi quickly sat down beside the bed and held her hand: "Mom, I'm here."

Tao Zhiyi's mother had a smile on her face, as if she was relieved: "Don't make things difficult for your master, mother knows her own body."

"Mother, don't say these words." Tao Zhiyi raised his hand to wipe his tears.

Tao Zhiyi's mother didn't talk to him anymore, instead she turned her eyes to Zhao Min who was next to her, and stretched out her hand tremblingly.

Seeing this, Zhao Min hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand, and squatted beside the bed: "Ma'am, if you have something to say."

Regarding the fact that she was about to die, his mother was not very sad, but she was happy that she would be able to lighten Tao Zhiyi's life burden in the future.

After all, the only people in this world who selflessly dedicate themselves to their yards are their parents.

"Girl, I know you have accepted Zhiyi as your apprentice, ahem." Tao Zhiyi's mother said and stopped, as if exhausting all the strength in her whole body, "I know my body well, but I just hope that in the future you can be more Take care of him."

Zhao Min knew that this was the last request of a mother before she died, and it was also her trust in herself, so she couldn't help but nodded: "Don't worry, ma'am, I will."

After hearing Zhao Min's affirmative answer, Tao Zhiyi's mother looked at Tao Zhiyi next to Zhao Min, as if she had something to say to him.

Zhao Min didn't feel comfortable staying longer: "Talk to your mother well, I'll go back to the inn first, and I'll deliver the medicine tomorrow."

It was getting dark now, and Zhao Min didn't dare to delay it. After the curfew, Liangcheng was not peaceful. Zhao Min also knew something about it, so he quickened his pace immediately.

After returning to the inn, the waiter asked where she had been, and Zhao Min told him about Tao Zhiyi's mother's situation.
After listening to the shopkeeper, he sighed: "He is also a poor child."

At night, Zhao Min tossed and turned in bed alone, unable to fall asleep at all.

Zhao Min still remembers the first time she saw Tao Zhiyi and his mother, but she didn't expect her body to be so bad in just a few months.

Recalling some words Gu Lingqing said to herself, Zhao Min was very hesitant at first,
But after seeing this scene today, Zhao Min also had a lot of emotions in his heart,

Life is changing, so why not cherish the present moment and follow your own heart.

Originally, Zhao Min was also worried that his and Gu Lingqing's identities were too different, which might cause a lot of trouble in the future.

But now Zhao Min has an affirmative answer in his heart, and he knows how to answer when he sees Gu Lingqing next time.

After figuring out the biggest thing that had been on his mind, Zhao Min didn't suffer from insomnia anymore, and then fell asleep.

Before dawn the next day, Zhao Min heard someone knocking on the door.

He should hurry down with a coat on, opened the door of the inn, and saw Tao Zhiyi with a sad face.

"Master, my mother is gone."

"What?" Zhao Min was surprised.

When she came back last night, Zhao Min specially prepared several medicines and planned to send them to her today, but she didn't expect that she passed away this morning.

Zhao Min ignored Tao Zhiyi who was standing at the door, and just said: "Wait for me." and went back to the second floor.

After getting dressed, Zhao Min called the shopkeeper Waiting, and followed Tao Zhiyi to his house.

After Zhao Min left yesterday, Tao Zhiyi's mother took him by the side and talked a lot, mostly incoherent,
But Tao Zhiyi listened very seriously, and fell asleep lying on the bed without knowing it.
When he woke up in the morning, he found that his mother had lost her breath.

Arriving at Tao Zhiyi's house, Zhao Min patted Tao Zhiyi's shoulder to show comfort when he saw the man who was no longer breathing.

Shopkeeper Hou and Zhao Min also started to help him with his mother's funeral.

But today, Tao Zhiyi's family is not the only one responsible for funeral affairs in Liangcheng. The most sensational thing in the whole city is the Tang family. White lanterns were hung on the doors early this morning.

After many inquiries, I also got some news, it turned out that Tang Lang, the father of the two cousin brothers, died of illness yesterday.

After the people of Liangcheng heard the news, they also sighed endlessly. This Tang Lang had been bedridden for many years, and it was a relief for him to die now.
