Chapter 1048: Chapter 1053: Must Be Cured
Da Niu’er fought back her tears and said, "Zi Wen, rest assured, no one will harm you once we get to Big Willow Village, and no matter what, I will never abandon you."
As long as he’s back, everything else will gradually get better.
However, Zhang Ziwen seemed as if he had not heard, curling his body even tighter as if only this could provide him some sense of security.
It was impossible to communicate with Zhang Ziwen in this state, which was both worrying and heartbreaking.
Qiao Duo’er addressed the onlookers, "Folks, Zi Wen seems very afraid of crowds. The adults should disperse for now. If there’s any new change, I will definitely send someone to inform everyone."
"Then we’ll head back first. You be careful too, his emotions are unstable."
"Right, let him calm down. Maybe he will get better."
"Don’t talk loudly, our voices make Zi Wen tremble severely."
The crowd gradually dispersed, with the Tie Family and Tan Family around, Zhang Ziwen wouldn’t encounter any major trouble.
At least he wouldn’t starve or freeze to death.
But even after everyone had left, Zhang Ziwen’s condition not only didn’t improve, it actually triggered another type of emotion in him.
"I’ve always treated you as my friends, how could you do this to me?"
"You all ran away, I’m so scared."
Da Niu’er wiped her tears haphazardly, "Oh, Heaven, what on earth happened to you? Can’t you tell me about it?"
Qiao Duo’er patted Da Niu’er on the shoulder, "Now is not the time to fuss over this, let’s first help him get back and have Uncle Wu take a look."
Da Niu’er nodded, but there was no need to assist him; she carried Zhang Ziwen back instead.
The person on her shoulder was almost weightless, causing Da Niu’er’s eyes to redden again.
Once he was well, if he was willing to be with her, she would definitely stick close to him.
Da Niu’er walked swiftly, Qiao Duo’er and Lu Kejun had to jog to keep up and not be left behind.
Tie Family.
Wu Youcai was examining Zhang Ziwen’s body; the womenfolk could only wait outside.
Feng Clan wiped her tears and said, "It’s good that he’s back. As long as this illness can be cured, the Tie Family is willing to spend all we have to treat him."
She hoped Zhang Ziwen would be all right, because she knew her daughter’s temperament: once she decided on someone, she would definitely marry him.
If Zhang Ziwen were to remain like this forever, the one who would suffer the most would be her own daughter.
How could she, as a mother, bear to see her child suffer?
"He’ll definitely get better. He must have been frightened," the Tie Family’s sister-in-law consoled.
Lu Kejun’s lips moved, but in the end, she swallowed her words. She was proficient in using poisons but only mediocre in medical skills, and she wouldn’t be of much help going inside.
After a while, the door slowly opened.
"How is he?" Da Niu’er asked eagerly.
"He’s skin and bones from hunger, has some minor flesh wounds on his body, which will heal with good care. As for his head, I can’t say for sure," Wu Youcai said with a grave expression.
Based on his diagnosis, it appeared he had suffered a blow to the head that caused internal bleeding.
However, his skills were limited, and he did not dare to draw hasty conclusions.
Gratefully, Da Niu’er said, "Thank you, Uncle Wu. I will go to town later and find a doctor to examine his head."
"Alright, I’ll head back first and send over some calming medicine later."
After Wu Youcai left, Tie Niu and Da Niu’er’s brother cleaned up Zhang Ziwen, and only then did the others go inside.
Now clean, the person on the bed finally revealed his handsome features, but he was so haggard that he looked as if a strong breeze could carry him away.
He must have suffered a great deal on the road, but he actually managed to make it back to Big Willow Village, which was a feat in itself.
