Chapter 376: The Siblings
Then, the Kind Doctor told the burly man where his house was. The burly man looked at the Kind Doctor gratefully and immediately nodded.
The burly man turned around to help the Kind Doctor send a message to Madam Miao. As for the Kind Doctor, he put down the medical box and lowered his body to roughly look at the girl’s leg. Then, he got someone to carry the girl into the government office and find a place. As it was already too late, he had to light the lamp to see clearly before he could treat her.
Not everyone could enter the government’s land. The Kind Doctor had a place inside because he looked after many seriously ill children. The county magistrate especially gave him a house to be used as a consultation room.
However, not all the farmers could enter. They could only let two people stay behind to watch over them, so the villagers discussed leaving a couple behind. One of them was strong and the other one could take care of others.

The Kind Doctor spent the night treating the girl who had almost lost her leg. He did not even return home. However, a dark aura was condensing in the sky.
At Sister-in-law Miao’s house in the alley, the boy’s hand had been scraped by the tree trunk during the day. Actually, his injuries were a little serious. The wound was a little deep and the area was big. Furthermore, his body had been weak lately.
The injury on the boy’s palm had not been treated. Sister-in-law Miao was usually lazy to clean up, so the house was not too clean. At night, he got a little infection.
The boy caught a fever.
His small body curled up under the blanket. He felt so cold that his entire body was trembling. Pus started to gather in his palm and it started to hurt. The boy’s face and lips were pale, and he could not open his eyes. However, because his hand was aching, he held his right wrist tightly with his left hand and raised his injured hand outside the torn cotton.
“Brother, what’s wrong?”
They were already so old, but the girl and the boy were still under the same blanket. The siblings only had a blanket to cover themselves. The girl was the first to notice that the boy was cold and trembling. She immediately turned around and asked the boy anxiously.
“Sister! Sister!”
The boy’s lips were trembling as well, and they became even paler. He opened his eyes slightly and looked at the girl with dependence and discomfort.

The girl got up and left the bed. She grabbed the boy’s wrist. She was young, but her mind was already working fast and she was very smart. She knew that her younger brother’s situation was a serious matter and could not be delayed. Even if she would definitely be scolded or even beaten by the woman, she had to find her mother and ask her to bring the boy to the doctor.
The boy could not move anymore. It should be a high fever caused by inflammation. His bones were hurting and his palm was in pain. He was not very conscious.
He was pulled off the bed by the girl in a daze. All the strength in the boy’s body seemed to have been sucked out. His legs went limp and he almost lost his balance. The girl used all her strength to support the boy and walk forward.
The girl supported the boy and walked out of the house. Coincidentally, a tall and strong farmer came looking for them. He told Madam Miao at the door that the Kind Doctor was going to treat a girl tonight, so he would not be coming home to spend the night.
It was unknown if the moonlight was too bright tonight or if something was wrong with the sky. In that instant, Madam Miao’s face was illuminated. When she heard that the Kind Doctor would not be returning tonight because of his work, an extremely shocking coldness appeared in Madam Miao’s eyes.
