Chapter 949: If and Only If (2)
Nan Luo sighed.
He had heard Nan Hua said herself that she was not capable enough to treat them. Maybe if they have someone who was more skilled than Nan Hua, these children could still be saved.
But unfortunately, that was only an if.
It was impossible for them to search for a doctor in this remote area. And within the few cities, was there even any Heavenly Doctor that was capable of treating someone who was already on the verge of death and deemed to be untreatable by many others?
There were very few of them who were capable enough to do something like that.
And Nan Luo knew very well that Nan Hua was not included in that few numbers despite her excellent skills.
“Let’s go and see his condition.”
“Mhm.”
Feng Ao Kuai frowned a bit, but he still followed Nan Luo. He had to say that he didn’t like Mu Sheng Xi at all because of his poor experience when they were working together not long ago.
But at the same time, the two of them were soldiers of Fei Yang Kingdom. It was impossible for him to completely ignore the other party when they were doing the same mission.
The other party’s state would affect their mission.
That was why Feng Ao Kuai could only sigh.
“Nan, come with us to Young Commander Mu’s tent.”
“Yes.”
Nan Hua followed the other two as they headed to Mu Sheng Xi’s tent. As a commander, it was normal for Mu Sheng Xi to have a tent for himself. In fact, it would be weirder if he shared his tent with other people.
As they were getting close, they could hear muffled sounds coming from the tent.
“Young Commander Mu, Second Young Commander Feng and Young Commander Nan are here.”
“Let them in.”
Feng Ao Kuai entered the tent and saw Mu Fang who was tied in the middle of the tent on a makeshift chair. Blood dripped from the wounds all over his body as the young boy struggled hard to get away.
“I want it… give it to me…” Mu Fang’s words were unclear. Saliva was dripping as he tried to speak properly.
It was a sorry sight.
Nan Luo himself was stunned when he saw the scene and looked at Mu Sheng Xi. Even though Mu Sheng Xi was trying his best to stay calm, his tightly clenched fist was clearly telling otherwise.
There was no way Mu Sheng Xi could stay calm when his own cousin was already in this state.
“Can you treat him?” Mu Sheng Xi turned to look at the other three.
Nan Hua shook her head. “The drugs had already destroyed most of his organs inside. He can barely stay alive right now. And what he wants more is the drug, which I don’t have.”
She could make it.
There were some of the ingredients thanks to Nan Luo’s soldiers picking the wrong herbs. However, Nan Hua would never make it just for these people.
She didn’t want to make that drug that would cause people to lose their minds and crave for drugs. It would indeed make them feel good, but at the same time it was destroying their bodies from inside.
It was not a medicine.
But couldn’t be said to be completely poison either.
A small amount of some types of drugs could be used to medical use. But large amount of them would only harm whoever used it.
“Then, can you do something to relieve him?”
“I can give him calming medicine. It would make him sleepy and calm, but it wouldn’t exactly treat him.” Nan Hua looked at Mu Sheng Xi. “Do you want me to use this medicine on him, Young Commander Mu?”
“Yes, please.”
“Alright.”
Nan Hua took a bottle out and began to work.
On the other hand, Nan Luo was standing at the side and pursed his lips. “It’s not your fault that this happens, Young Commander Mu.”
“I know.”
Mu Sheng Xi was not that close to his cousins either, but he had spent a long time in his childhood with these brats back then. He could still remember many things that had happened when he was young.

The Mu Family was big.
There were a total of six brothers with General Mu being the first of the six brothers. Half of them were faced with persecution because of what they did and many of his long distant cousins were also implicated. His grandfather, who was a duke, was also executed along with the others.
Mu Sheng Xi felt heavy when he heard of what had happened.
Even his father looked like he had aged more, but he was still rather calm. After all, General Mu had known what his family members did. It was also because of their action that General Mu decided to live far away from them.
He didn’t want to return to the Capital City.
In the end, only his third and fourth brother were spared.
Back then, Mu Sheng Xi thought that with them being spared, it also meant that his cousins would be fine. That way, he didn’t have to worry that much about his cousins.
But he was wrong.
Looking at how Mu Fang ended up now, he feared that things might have been worse for them instead.
“I should have helped them instead.” Mu Sheng Xi watched as Mu Fang calmed down, but he still looked like his soul was not here. It was a sight that he never wanted to see from his cousin.
Mu Fang was such a cheerful brat back then that Mu Sheng Xi really couldn’t bring himself to accept this change so quickly.
“Even if you’re there, you won’t be able to help them.” Feng Ao Kuai took out several bamboo strips. “These youngsters all carried a tag with them.”
“Tag?”
“Yes, it’s written Dolls with different numbers.”
“Dolls?” Mu Sheng Xi’s eyes burned with rage when he heard that.
