Moments later, Zhong Niangyao saw Zhao Xuanlang lying on the bed, seemingly asleep, and her brow furrowed involuntarily. She raised her hand and began calculating.
Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao, who stood nearby, watched Zhong Niangyao's actions with faces full of anxiety, but they dared not make a sound for fear of disturbing her.
After quite a while, Zhong Niangyao finally lowered her hand and looked at Mr. and Mrs. Zhao, then directly asked, "Has he been to a place near water these past two days?"
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao paused for a moment, and finally, Mrs. Zhao spoke, "We aren't sure, but Xiao Lang stayed at home all summer and didn't go out. It was only yesterday that a friend invited him to go hiking, so he went out. He seemed fine when he came home last night, but today we couldn't wake him up no matter what."
