1033 Divine Medicine

“Father… you almost scared me to death! Do you know how worried I am about you! How can you treat us like this! I was almost scared to death!” Xia He knelt next to Xia Mao’s bed fearfully and wailed loudly. At this moment, she had set aside her strong facade. At this moment, she was only Xia Mao’s daughter.

No matter how old she was, Xiao Mao would always see her as his adorable little daughter.

Xia Mao slowly tapped Xia He’s cheek with his finger and looked at her in a kind manner. Although he had been lying on the bed all this while, he still retained his consciousness. These children had really suffered during this period of time.

“Don’t cry anymore…” Xia Mao whispered with great effort.

Xia He quickly stopped crying and stayed quietly by Xia Mao’s bed. She just looked at Xia Mao without doing anything. Although she could not help but cry occasionally, she tried her best to hold it in.

Xia Mao suddenly looked towards Qiao Mei. She understood what he meant and walked to his side, saying gently, “Father, we can go home soon.”

She reckoned that Xia Mao’s biggest wish now was to go home and reunite with his family. After all, he had just gone through a life and death situation and it had not been easy to wrestle his life back from the Grim Reaper.

“Mother is waiting for you at home. She’s fine,” Xia Wen said simply.

Qiao Mei took advantage of the fact that Xia Mao was awake and fed him another glass of ginseng wine. There was only a quarter of the ginseng wine left in the bottle, which should be enough to last Xia Mao until he reached the capital.

The doctors had all left the tent and only the four Xia family members were in the tent. No one would hear anything they talked about. The doctor only gave them 10 minutes to catch up, otherwise Xia Mao would feel overexerted.

“Qiao Mei, I actually keep wanting to ask, how old is the ginseng in that wine?” Xia Wen asked curiously.

Xia Mao also looked over curiously. He had eaten all kinds of supplements over the years, but none of them had such a magical effect. It really made him wonder if it was a spiritual herb obtained from a divine immortal.

Qiao Mei did not know how to explain the origins of this ginseng. After thinking for a long time, she said, “My grandfather found this ginseng in the mountains and we have never told anyone about it. This ginseng… should be more than 10,000 years old.”

“10,000 years!” Xia He exclaimed. Then, she felt as if she did something wrong and quickly covered her mouth. She whispered, “Oh heavens, Qiao Mei, are you joking with us? Is this thing actually 10,000 years old? Can it already be a spirit?”

Qiao Mei pursed her lips awkwardly. In theory, it had indeed become a spirit and could even run around the courtyard! If not for the fact that Xia Mao was in mortal danger, she would not have brought this ginseng here so rashly.

She was already prepared for the worst. If Xia Mao did not get better after drinking the medicinal wine, she would just take out the ginseng and grind it into powder for him to eat. Fortunately, the medicinal wine proved to be effective. Otherwise, Xia Mao would probably bleed from all seven orifices after eating the 10,000-year-old ginseng powder.

“It’s really more than 10,000 years old. My grandfather only found this ginseng after he made his way to the deepest part of the mountain. I guess their fates are intertwined,” Qiao Mei said deceptively.

“Then we really have to thank Grandpa Qiao. He not only saved my grandfather’s life, but my father’s life as well. I don’t know how the Xia family can repay both of you,” Xia Wen lamented.

Qiao Mei said indifferently, “We’re all family, so there’s no need to be so polite. Let’s think about what to eat and how to celebrate when we get back!”

They did not manage to hold any celebrations when they got back. The main door of the Xia family’s house was so crowded with people that it almost broke. As soon as their car arrived in the capital, there were people who received the news immediately. Everyone had heard that the Xia family was in possession of divine medicine which could even save the critically ill Xia Mao.

It was not just the Xia family. The Zheng family, the Zhuang family and even Qian’e were not spared. Those people tried their best to contact anyone who was close to Qiao Mei and the Xia family. They just wanted to get hold of Qiao Mei’s divine medicine, even if it was only one mouthful!

There were even rumors flying around that drinking Qiao Mei’s divine medicine would allow one to stay young forever and extend one’s lifespan! One could instantly return to being 20 years old! They had even prepared the advertising slogan for Qiao Mei.

There were even people who said that Qiao Mei’s divine medicine could revive the dead. This was simply nonsense.
