Chapter 783: an heir —-2
Seeing that Ye Liu was fussing over his small injuries, Shen Li did not say anything and followed him back home. Even though his injuries were not severe, it was better to show them to Doctor Gu, after all, he was bitten by a bi*ch, humph!
The two of them arrived at the Yu house, where Doctor Gu was already waiting for them, as soon as the two stepped inside the house, they saw Doctor Gu sitting on the couch with the wicker bag that she carried with her everywhere which included the medicinal herbs and bandages.
" Doctor Gu," Shen Li greeted the woman with a smile as he sat down followed by Ye Liu who greeted Doctor Gu as well.
Chen Mi was cooking lunch when he saw Lang rushing inside the house with Doctor Gu, he was so startled that he stopped cooking and almost chopped the kitchen counter instead of the pork bones that were sitting on the counter. Seeing Ye Liu come inside the house while supporting Shen Li whose forehead was bleeding, Chen Mi was given the shock of his life as he rushed by Shen Li's sides and asked, "What is the matter, Brother Li? How did you get hurt like this?"
"It's nothing, I just met with a mad dog and nothing else," Shen Li did not want to trouble his family which was why he simply gave a watered-down version of what happened at the entrance gate while Doctor Gu took his pulse. "It's nothing to worry about, it was just a small slip and a little tug. It's because we, mers are weaker than the women and men that I am bleeding like this."
Chen Mi was going to heave a sigh of relief before starting to curse that Shen woman who dared to treat his brother harshly like this but before he could say anything, he heard Doctor Gu say, " It is a big matter, Master Shen. Please do not treat this matter as lightly as a breeze fluttering past the sea, if you had fallen just now, I am afraid that the village had been engulfed in another storm."
Doctor Gu let go of Shen Li's wrist as she took the handkerchief off which she placed upon Shen Li's wrist so as to not touch him directly and placed it neatly on the table while Fang Chi and the rest looked at her, waiting for her following words but the woman only continued to rummage in her bag causing the mers to go in a panicky state.
Seeing that Doctor Gu was not saying anything, Chen Mi turned to look at Shen Li who was looking rather pale under the dripping blood and then turned to look at Doctor Gu before asking in a stuttering voice, " Doctor Gu, did …Did Brother Li contracted a disease from that woman?"
He heard from his wife that the outskirts were no longer safe with the flu spreading all over the town and the other villages, more and more people were getting infected, if that was the case then —- he turned to look at Shen Li with a terrified look in his eyes which caused Shen Li to become even paler.
" What nonsense are you saying?" When Ye Liu noticed that Shen Li was getting scared because of Chen Mi's words, he immediately scolded the latter. What kind of nonsense was this? Shen Li only met with Shen Hanxing for less than a few minutes how can he contract a disease?
Chen Mi slapped his lips when he realised that he misspoke just now and then turned to look at Doctor Gu who was solemnly looking at Shen Li before handing an ointment to Ye Liu and a clean cloth to wipe Shen Li's forehead.
" Please clean his injuries first, as for everything else, we can discuss it after that," at this moment, cleaning and treating Shen Li's injuries was more important which was why Doctor Gu did not distract the mers.
When the mers heard the words of Doctor Gu they rushed to wipe the blood, boil water and apply the ointment in a hurry, they were so scared that Shen Li contracted something that he shouldn't have, that their hearts were in their throats.
If Shen Li really caught the flu which was contagious and Yu Dong found out that they let go of Shen Li to meet that annoying Shen Hanxing, they will be scolded until their knees turned red and their mouth turned parched as they apologised for not taking care of their brother.
Within just a few minutes Shen Li's forehead stopped bleeding as the four mer turned to look at Doctor Gu who was still solemnly looking at them, as they waited for her to say something and drop the axe on their necks but then they saw Doctor Gu smiling widely as she turned to look at Shen Li and said in a jolly voice, " Congratulations Master Shen, you are going to be a daddy in the next seven months."
Chen Mi and the rest gasped while Shen Li's eyes widened as he looked at Doctor Gu and opened his mouth in disbelief before muttering " Wha—-?"
He looked at his flat belly before turning to look at the rest of the mers who were looking at him with smiles and tears in their eyes even Fang Chi was crying so happily that it looked like he was the one who was pregnant again.
" I...I am …" Shen Li was so shocked that he could not even say the words that he just heard, he was with a child? He was carrying Yu Dong's child? Doesn't that mean…
" You are pregnant! P. R. E. G. N.A.N. T" Chen Mi spelt it out for Shen Li as he excitedly clapped his hands and then went to hug Shen Li out of his excitement. " Now we no longer have to worry about our properties getting snatched, Brother Li, you really know how to drop a bomb and when!"
" You are pregnant! Haha! That means we are going to have an heir!"
