The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 351 Mysterious Matters_1

In just half an hour,

successive waves of doctors rushed to the emergency department, but in the end, Qi Mengru was still given a critical condition notice.

With the notice in hand, Qi Mengru seemed to have lost her soul in an instant.

She leaned against the door of the emergency room in a daze, murmuring Xiao Shu’s name over and over.

Seeing this, Li Qing also felt somewhat distressed,

and even regretted the harsh words he had thrown back at her in anger.

The doors of the emergency room swung open, and a doctor came out.

Qi Mengru, who had collapsed on the floor, grabbed the doctor’s leg and urgently asked, "Doctor, how is my child?"

The doctor shook his head, "We can’t find any cause for the illness, but the patient’s condition has temporarily stabilized!"

"He will now be transferred to the intensive care unit for further observation, and the hospital will arrange a panel of experts to consult."

It seemed as if all the strength drained from Qi Mengru in an instant, and tears welled up in her eyes again, "Xiao Shu, mom is sorry..."

"Xiao Shu, mom is really sorry..."

Qi Xuelan helped Qi Mengru up from the ground, "Principal Qi, at least Xiao Shu’s condition has stabilized. He will be alright. We have to trust the doctors."

"Yes, Xiao Shu will be fine! He definitely will be," Qi Mengru suddenly rallied a bit of spirit.

But she was still panicking, fumbling three times in her bag for her phone without success, even dropping it on the floor.

"Xiao Shu will definitely be alright, he must be," she repeated,

her eyes betraying a paranoid frenzy as she unlocked her phone and made a call.

"Dad, something’s happened to Xiao Shu. This time, you can’t turn a blind eye..." she pleaded.

Li Qing, upon witnessing this, suddenly became intrigued.

It seemed as if Principal Qi’s family might have someone skilled in traditional medicine,

but why hadn’t she thought to call them from the start?

This left Li Qing somewhat perplexed.

About half an hour later, Xiao Shu was transferred to the intensive care unit. Suddenly, several men in black suits appeared in the hallway.

After a brief exchange with Qi Mengru and the doctor, a middle-aged man with graying hair entered the ward.

Observing their interaction, Li Qing concluded that these commanding men were likely Qi Mengru’s family.

Li Qing moved a bit closer.

The door to the ward was not fully closed, and he could vaguely see the gray-haired man taking out a sword, one made of coins.

Why would a sword be needed for treatment?

Li Qing was astonished for a moment before he remembered, "Could that be the Money Sword?"

Through the partially closed door, he could make out some flickers of light, but couldn’t clearly see what the man was actually doing.

Not long after, the gray-haired man walked out of the ward, sweating profusely and shaking his head.

"Mengru, Xiao Shu’s condition is not good, but his life is not in grave danger. Don’t be too anxious," one of the men, a square-faced middle-aged man, comforted her, patting her shoulder.

"This matter is somewhat tricky and might be related to that place in your school. We’ll head to Apricot Grove Mountain first. You stay here and look after Xiao Shu."

Apricot Grove Mountain?

Hearing this all-too-familiar place name once again, Li Qing’s brows furrowed deeply.

The old Daoist had mentioned Ziyun Mountain, and now this man as well.

Could there really be something inexplicable there?

And it was also connected to the old building of the school’s logistics department!

Upon hearing that Xiao Shu’s life was not in danger, Qi Mengru finally stopped her incessant weeping and nodded gently.

Then, those men left first.

Li Qing stared at their retreating figures for a long while, his heart quietly stirring up a tempest. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Unwittingly, he seemed to have touched on another side of this world.

Qi Xuelan came over and said to Li Qing in a low voice, "Principal Qi asked me to apologize to you on her behalf."

"She was too agitated before and misunderstood you; this matter really has nothing to do with you!"

Li Qing looked at Qi Mengru who was already sitting by the sickbed, and he helplessly twitched the corner of his mouth, "This matter really has nothing to do with me, and I think I should still be credited for my role."

"If I hadn’t happened to go back and found Xiao Shu in time, who knows what would have happened!"

"Yes, yes, you indeed did a favor for Principal Qi, but as a grown man you can bear a little grievance, right? She was really too anxious," said Qi Xuelan with a hint of irritation, "Besides, you’ve already scolded, and had your outburst."

Li Qing snorted softly, but that wasn’t the way he saw it.

If it hadn’t been for the special circumstances today, with Xiao Shu’s life hanging by a thread, Li Qing would have certainly taken this more seriously.

Helping out only to have his life threatened, even the most passive clay figure would have a flash of anger.

"By the way, the way they were healing just now seemed a bit special," Li Qing said curiously.

Qi Xuelan spoke softly, "Principal Qi’s maternal family is the Qi Family, you understand now, right?"

Li Qing shook his head, "What should I understand?"

This was the second time he had heard of the Qi Family, but he truly did not grasp Qi Xuelan’s insinuation.

Qi Xuelan looked at him with a peculiar expression and lowered her voice, "The Qi Family, our county’s once wealthiest family, you know that, right?"

Li Qing nodded, "I do know that."

"It seems you only know of the Qi Family’s name, let me put it this way, the Qi Family isn’t just a wealthy family; they’ve also produced several formidable Feng Shui masters. It’s said that the Qi Family has some secret skills handed down through generations, which are quite mysterious," Qi Xuelan revealed with an air of secrecy.

"Rumor has it that they know some things that ordinary people are unaware of, and rumors also say that in those strange incidents that occurred around here, it was members of the Qi Family who stepped in to handle them. I can’t really clarify this matter, but in any case, they do have some peculiar abilities that common sense can’t fully explain."

Li Qing listened with amazement.

He had not expected the Qi Family to have such secrets behind them.

He quickly thought of the old Daoist.

It seemed that the eccentric, babbling old Daoist might also be an expert from another realm.

"There’s nothing else for me to do here now, so I’ll head back to the school to check on things. Things happened so hurriedly, the door to the logistics building is still unlocked!" Li Qing said, his intention to look for the old Daoist clear.

"Go ahead, it’s fine. I’ll look after things here," Qi Xuelan said with a nod.

"After you’ve checked the logistics department, you should head home early and don’t wear yourself out. We can talk about the other matters later."

Li Qing nodded, "Alright, then I’ll be going now."

After these two incidents, Li Qing’s curiosity about the old building of the logistics department overcame his fear and unease.
