Chapter 998: Encountering a Patient on the Road
Little Reunion glanced at the big rock and signaled Big Tiger to crouch; he wanted to get down. Big Tiger hesitated for a moment and then lay down on the ground.
Big Tiger watched as Little Reunion climbed down from his back and crawled slowly towards the big rock, feeling a pang of reluctance, and then opened his mouth to bite his clothes, carrying him up to the rock.
At this moment, Little Reunion sat down and closed his eyes. Big Tiger watched and sat beside him, like a tiger statue, guarding Little Reunion.
As time passed, Jiang Xue’s music practice became smoother; she could play some tunes now. Little Fox listened with satisfaction, then produced a sheet of music from somewhere, handing it to her: "This is the melody of High Mountain and Flowing Water, study it well, so you won’t be caught off guard when the time comes."
"Thank you!" Jiang Xue expressed her thanks and, without asking Little Fox for teaching, watched while trying to play. She wasn’t greedy, playing bit by bit, slowly working through each part. Once she mastered one part, she would begin learning the next.
In an instant, two hours had passed, and Jiang Xue had only learned one section. The melody had five parts in total, with four more to learn, so it seemed she needed to speed up.
With this thought, Jiang Xue stopped playing, put away the sheet music, and then got up to go to Little Reunion’s room.
At this time, Little Reunion was sleeping sweetly, with a hint of a smile on his lips. Jiang Xue watched, her face breaking into a smile as well. Leaning down, Jiang Xue kissed her son’s cheek, then turned to go take a shower.
At this moment, she was completely unaware that when she practiced music, her son had gone to the mountain top for cultivation. Of course, Little Reunion didn’t want her to know either, as he was still a child, and if he acted too extraordinary, he would be seen as abnormal.
Yet, Little Fox, while always staying by Jiang Xue’s side, knew about Little Reunion’s secret cultivation trips.
Therefore, after Jiang Xue went to shower, it came to Little Reunion’s sleeping room and gently spoke a few words to the sweetly sleeping Little Reunion.
Hearing Little Fox’s words, the sleeping Little Reunion’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, but he didn’t open his eyes. Little Fox watched, knowing that Little Reunion had heard it, before leaving.
Jiang Xue, after showering, felt refreshed all over. She returned to Little Reunion’s room and lay with her son to sleep for a while.
They slept for about four hours until dawn began to break. Jiang Xue got up again to practice cultivation. She practiced until seven in the morning, then carried her son out of the space, got ready downstairs, and went to have breakfast.
After breakfast, Jiang Xue drove to school. Nearing the school, she encountered a traffic jam. She looked on, somewhat anxious, and asked Little Fox, "Little Fox, there’s a traffic jam ahead. Do you know what’s going on?"
Little Fox didn’t respond immediately, but instead used its Divine Sense to check before replying: "An elderly person has fallen on the road ahead. It seems they had an attack during morning exercises, and now many people are gathered around, but no one is stepping forward to help."
Jiang Xue listened to Little Fox’s words and looked at the blocked route. Thinking that they couldn’t pass anyway, she decided to check things out.
Jiang Xue got out of the car and walked toward the crowd. Upon entering the scene, she heard someone saying, "Is anyone a doctor? Please check on him? It isn’t right to leave him lying here."
"Where would we find a doctor? If there was one, they’d have gone over by now. I think it’s better to send him to the hospital."
"Sending him to a hospital is not as quick as calling an ambulance. Look at the elderly man; what if something happens on the way, who will be responsible?"
