“Ah!”
“Ah!”
Several exclamations could be heard and when the panicked exclamation came out, it drew the attention of everyone on the street. One of the exclamations came from the chubby girl, the other came from the shopkeeper of the tea stand, and finally, the last one came from the Patriarch Yang who saw the scene from a short distance away.
“Boom!”
“Sss!”
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground could be heard, and the sound of gasping could also be heard. All at once, it was quiet and everyone’s eyes widened as they looked at the chubby girl in astonishment as she fell onto the old woman. The old woman fell to the ground and except for the sound of gasping, she was unable to even exclaim or cry for help…
Was, was she crushed to death?
Everyone’s hearts trembled and they stood dumbfounded. They hadn’t even come out of their shock to help the chubby girl up. The chubby girl had recovered from her fall and got off the ground herself.
“Granny? Are you alright Granny? How are you? I didn’t mean it, I didn’t know I would crush you.”
She stood there at a loss, her eyes were filled with anxiety and worry and tears were brimming in her eyes. She wanted to help the old woman up from the ground but she was afraid that she was too strong and would hurt her instead.
Feng Jiu lay on the ground and took a breath, she felt uncomfortable at being squashed. After she had taken a few breaths, she was helped up by the chubby girl and Patriarch Yang who had come rushing over.
“Old woman, are you alright?”
Patriarch Yang glared at his daughter and said: “Xiao’er, look at what you’ve done? It’s fine to look for someone, but how can you push over the old woman while you’re searching? Old peoples’ bones are fragile, what happens if you broke her bones by sitting on her, what would you do then?”
The chubby girl lowered her head and whispered: “I didn’t know I would bump into someone. It’s only because that person pushed me so hard just now.” As she spoke, she turned her head to look for the young man in azure robes who had pushed her. She wanted to get even with him, but he had already run off when he saw what had happened.
When he was nowhere to be seen, the chubby girl bit her lip and pulled her father’s sleeves: “Father, let’s bring Granny home with us! We can ask the doctor to check if she’s suffered any injuries. I also have some medicine here for treating internal injuries, we can give it to Granny.”
As she spoke, she rummaged through her space ring and found the medicinal pill for treating internal injuries and brought it to Feng Jiu’s mouth: “Granny, don’t worry, if you have any internal injuries, you will be fine after eating this medicinal pill. Even if you don’t get better, it’s alright, you can come home with us. My father will look after you. Here, take this pill first.”
Feng Jiu stared at the chubby girl who was about to shove the medicinal pill into her mouth and her scalp itched. This chubby girl looked normal, but why were her actions so abnormal?
Patriarch Yang’s eyelids twitched when he heard his daughter’s words and glanced at the daughter who often took advantage of her own father. He shook his head and sighed, then walked forward resignedly.
“Xiao’er! Behave! Put the pill away!” The silly girl didn’t even realise what grade that pill was and gave it to the old woman without so much as another thought.
Although she had bumped into her and she might have possibly sustained some injuries, aristocratic families such as themselves would just send the old woman for treatment and give her some money as compensation and for her to nurse her health. There was no need to give her such a precious pill.
