"Kai Ping, you're in such a rush. What's wrong?" Gu Kaiyuan yawned as he lifted the curtain and stepped out, then closed it again with lightning speed.
"An Tong has a fever. Give me some medicine, quickly." Gu Kaiping acted as if this were completely expected, even holding out his hand.
Gu Kaiyuan looked at him, bewildered. "Kai Ping, did the fever fry your brain too? If I had medicine, I would have brought it out for Mother earlier. I had to beg Mr. Liu just to get that antiseptic medicine before. Besides, she was perfectly fine. How did An Tong catch a fever? Did you guys not take good care of her?"
"How could you not have any medicine? Didn't Ms. Bai prepare any? I don't need wound medicine, I need fever reducers."
"You know exactly how expensive the medicine at the post station is," Gu Kaiyuan said. "With the meager amount of money we have on us, how could we bear to buy it? You're better off asking the other families, Kai Ping."
