"Oh? Burning all over, with no other symptoms on examination? Explain it to me more carefully!" Old Man Wei hadn't quite followed the question.
"It's like this..." Wei Zhao described Shen Yushu's condition to Old Man Wei in careful detail, then said, "That's the situation... right now I feel completely helpless. Do you have any idea what to do?"
"The way you describe it, it sounds rather like the legendary fire poison," Old Man Wei said, taken aback.
"Fire poison? You don't say. Xiaoxiao had cold poison, and now here's a fire poison?" Wei Zhao was startled as well.
"Xiaoxiao didn't have cold poison — only something similar to it, and even then her case was hard to pin down!" Old Man Wei shook his head. "I can't explain it offhand either. How about you bring her to me and let me have a look?"
"Bring her to you? She won't die on the way, will she?" Wei Zhao asked with a bitter smile.
"The way you tell it, she's lasted this long without burning up, so she's not going to die," Old Man Wei said. "There shouldn't be any problem."
"All right then... if it really comes to it, I'll bring her back," Wei Zhao said with a bitter laugh.
Meanwhile, up in the bathroom, Shen Yushu suddenly waved a hand at Gu Mengyao and Tang Zhi. "Oh, right — I just remembered, this is an old ailment I've had since I was little. In the second drawer of the bedside table in the bedroom there's a little bottle with a special remedy in it. Just fetch it for me and I'll be fine..."
"Ah? Okay!" Gu Mengyao answered at once, dropped her water gun, and ran back to the bedroom. Sure enough, in the drawer of the bedside table she found an exquisite little bottle. She snatched it up and raced back to the bathroom. "Xiaoshu, is this it?"
"Yes, yes, quick, take out the pill inside and give it to me to swallow!" Shen Yushu glanced at it, nodded, and said urgently.
"Okay..." Gu Mengyao nodded, opened the little bottle, and saw a single pill inside. "Is this it? Why does it feel like the pill's been licked by someone? Even the sugar coating on the outside has melted off?"
"Oh, probably because Yunyun's water gun just sprayed it. Give it here, quick..." Shen Yushu opened her mouth.
Only then did Gu Mengyao remember this was the pill Shen Yushu was counting on to save her life. She dared not ask more questions and hastily dropped the pill into Shen Yushu's mouth.
Shen Yushu swallowed the pill. After a moment she suddenly gave a violent shudder and cried out, "Wow, I'm freezing! Shut off the water, quick! I'm going to freeze to death..."
"Huh?" Tang Zhi was startled, but then she saw that Shen Yushu's skin had already returned to its normal color. In a fluster she shut off the valve in her hands. "You're better?"
"Better, better — I'm freezing to death, I need a towel to dry off, quick..." Shen Yushu nodded and cried, "Freezing, freezing..."
