Chapter 12: Hurry Up and Take Your Medicine

  His eyebrows were tightly locked into a "川" shape, and when I saw him, I suddenly thought of my father in modern times. Every time my mother cried because of my serious illness, he was like this, supporting my mother with his eyebrows furrowed, not saying a word.

  I charged forward without hesitation.

  "Suo'er, what are you doing?" My dad shouted loudly from behind me after he first reacted.

  "Dad, I'm going to fetch some wheat!" I shouted loudly, then grabbed a fallen coat from who-knows-who and wrapped it around my mouth, dashing into the increasingly larger sea of flames.

  "Suo Er, have you gone mad?" Behind me were the belated shouts of my mother and Su Yu, but I didn't care, fearlessly charging into the sea of flames.

  Relying on intuition, I walked into the left side, and the only place where food was stored in the house was indeed here.

  The sack of wheat has been burnt through, and the golden wheat is scattered all over the ground, with signs of a fire starting to appear.

  I hastily tore off a piece of cloth to cover my mouth and nose, tied it up, spread the wet clothes on the ground, and put my hands on the scorched grains. In my mind, there was only one thought - I must dig out more grain.

  Fire everywhere, all I see is a fiery red glow. Sweat drips into my eyes, and I can barely make out anything except for a blurry crimson haze.

  I rubbed for a long time, and only stopped when my fingers were numb. I wrapped up the wet clothes and weighed them - they were quite heavy. After rolling them up, I quickly walked out.

  I heard the sound of a wooden chair collapsing behind me. I wiped away the sweat that was dripping from my eyes, and when I saw the sunlight, I finally let out a slight sigh of relief.

  "Susu......" Su Yu rushed over to hug me, who was on the verge of collapse. Father and mother also ran over, father caught the bag of rice that was about to fall, his eyes looked at me with a complex expression, then looked at my sister, I felt puzzled in my heart, but only felt that my eyelids were heavy as a thousand pounds, slowly closing them.

  When I woke up again, I found myself lying in another unfamiliar place. In my heart, I secretly thought that I wouldn't have died from exhaustion there and then traveled to another unfamiliar place?

  "Suo'er, you've finally woken up." A familiar crisp voice came over, I turned my head and saw Su Yu holding a medicine bowl sitting at the foot of my bed, using one hand to support me as she said: "Drink your medicine quickly."
