There were not many enemies, only about ten people. After observing the number of bandits, Cao Pi decided to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

"Hey... I didn't expect there are two pretty little ladies here." The leader of the bandits had a sinister face and a big ax in his hand. Most of the people in front of him were children. The bandit leader felt that he was very lucky today.

Not bad.

"If you know the truth, get out of here." Cao Ang scolded him sternly.

"Kill all the men. Bring these two little ladies back to me. I will deal with this man personally." The bandit leader pointed at Cao Ang. The bandits all had lewd smiles on their faces. They were already imagining the beauty of tonight.

It’s over.

"Seeking death!" Cao Ang slashed with his sword. The bandit leader was startled by Cao Ang's swift movements, and he hurriedly dodged Cao Ang's attack.

"Damn it, I will make your life worse than death." The bandit leader spat, he picked up the ax in his hand and struck Cao Ang on the head.

Cao Ang turned his chops into cuts and opened the bandit leader's arm. The bandit leader was extremely angry when he saw the bloody mouth on his right arm.

Cao Pi was not idle either. His pretended panic aroused the malice of a bandit. The bandit wanted to catch Cao Pi and torture him, but he didn't expect that Cao Pi would draw his sword and stab him through.

Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, and Xia Houmao all took out their weapons to stop the bandits, while Cao Shuo protected the others, especially Cao Zhang, who didn't know his own weight.

"Second brother, let me go quickly." Cao Zhang took a broad knife and held his breath to prove himself.

"Don't cause trouble! If you have the ability, protect the people around you who need protection." Cao Shuo scolded. Cao Zhang was very unconvinced when he heard Cao Shuo's words.

The martial arts of those bandits were naturally not as good as Cao Pi and others. A dozen of them were quickly killed, and now only one bandit leader with good martial arts was left to fight with Cao Ang.

Cao Ang's movements were light and his foundation was solid. When the bandit leader saw his companions being killed, he made a mistake in his anxiety. Cao Ang saw the opportunity and killed the bandit leader with one blow.

"What a shame!" Cao Xiu said bitterly as he looked at the corpses of the bandits scattered on the ground. The wife beside him was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her whole body was buried in Cao Xiu's chest.

Just when everyone thought the battle was over, a bandit who was not dead picked up the ring knife scattered on the ground and slashed towards the crowd.

The bandit no longer cared about who the person in front of him was. Blood was flowing from his forehead, and the blood holes in his waist and abdomen stung every nerve in his body.

"Sister, be careful!"

"Xuanjun, be careful!"

The shouts of Cao Pi and Xia Houmao rang out at the same time, and Cao Yun looked at the bloody man in front of her with only despair.

The bandit slashed with his sword, and Cao Yun was pushed away by the person beside him. Blood spattered, and a bloodstain appeared on the pale Cao Shuo's body.

Cao Zhen quickly stepped forward and stabbed the bandit to death. Everyone gathered around Cao Shuo, crying and shouting. Cao Shuo was unconscious, and dark red blood kept pouring out of the blood marks on his chest.

"Am I... going to die?" Cao Shuo's voice was thin. Many people and things appeared in his mind, including Zao Zhi, Cao Cao, mountains of letters, and endless wheat fields.

"Get out of the way!" Fan A's voice sounded. The old man behind him took out the herbs from his bag and applied them to Cao Shuo's wound. Then he asked Fan A to pour something into Cao Shuo's mouth and waited until Cao Shuo waited.

After the bleeding stopped, the old man began to clean Cao Shuo's wounds.

Everyone knew nothing about medical skills and could only stand aside and worry. The two women were crying. Cao Pi forced himself to stay calm. Now he could only trust this white-haired old man.

"He's okay for the time being." The old man was sweating profusely, and Cao Shuo's weak breathing announced the success of the first aid. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the old man's words.

"Thank you sir for saving my brother's life. I, Cao Ang, am willing to die in repayment." Cao Ang knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old man. Everyone imitated Cao Ang's behavior. The old man waved his hands hurriedly when he saw such a scene. Fan Ajiang and everyone agreed.

Lift him up.

"It is the duty of a doctor to treat illnesses and save people. It is because of you that my disciple and I escaped from the tiger's mouth today, so please don't do this." The old man said righteously.

"May I ask your name, sir?" Cao Ang asked respectfully.

"My name is Hua Tuo." Hua Tuo's answer shocked Cao Pi. Looking at Hua Tuo's immortal appearance, Cao Pi finally let go of the big stone in his heart. If there is only one person in the world who can save Cao Shuo, then this person is definitely him.

Hua Tuo is in front of me.

"Sir, I have a heartfelt request." Cao Pi also said respectfully to Hua Tuo.

"Master, please speak." Hua Tuo had a good impression of the young man who killed the tiger to save himself, so he responded with a smile.

"Sir, can you come back to Juancheng with us? My second brother is still in a coma after all..." Cao Pi thought that he must keep Hua Tuo anyway. A miracle doctor can save too many lives. "My second brother has been in a coma since he was a child."

I am weak, and I have suffered such a serious injury this time. I hope sir can heal my second brother."

"Even if you don't save my life, Master, I will definitely do my best. As a doctor, I can't just ignore death." Hua Tuo's answer was decisive. Fan A originally wanted to say something, but when he saw

Master has already agreed to Cao Pi and will say no more.

Cao Pi's face felt slightly hot. Hua Tuo's medical ethics was worthy of being ranked among the four famous doctors, but he was always not honest enough...

Juancheng, Cao Mansion.

Mrs. Ding slapped Cao Ang in the face. She was extremely angry and did not care about outsiders.

"Mother, I'm sorry, I failed to protect Zizhao." Cao Ang's face was burning with pain.

Cao Pi didn't dare to interrupt, but his face was also burning. Cao Ang failed to protect Cao Shuo, and why didn't he do the same?

"Madam, please calm down, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on Zixiu." Cao Cao took Ding's hand, and Ding shook off Cao Cao's hand angrily, and walked to Cao Shuo's room alone.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to retract his hands.

Cao Shuo is still in a coma at the moment, but under Hua Tuo's care, he should be able to wake up in a few days.

"Thanks to Brother Yuanhua for saving my son's life this time, I, Cao Mengde, will never forget Brother Yuanhua's kindness." Cao Cao thanked Hua Tuo. Hua Tuo had never thought that these young men were actually Cao Cao's children.

Hua Tuo and Cao Cao were actually old acquaintances. Hua Tuo was also from Qiao County. He had treated Cao Song when he was young. Cao Cao met Hua Tuo at that time.

"Your words are serious. I promised Mr. Huan that I will completely cure Mr. Zizhao's illness." Hua Tuo replied.

Cao Cao arranged a residence for Hua Tuo and Fan A. He was originally going to go to Yongqiu in a few days, but he didn't expect that such an incident would happen before leaving, which made him a little upset.

Everyone in the Cao Mansion was no better off. Cao Yun had been hiding in her room and crying with remorse, without thinking about food or tea.

Cao Zhang thought about Cao Shuo's rebuke to him that day, and he felt a little sad and confused. Why couldn't he protect the people around him? Why did he love to be a hero so much? Why couldn't he do anything when his second brother and Uncle Zhao were in danger?

Cao Zhi was frightened, and Cao Pi and Cao Zhen also locked themselves in the house. Bian returned to the brothers' rooms and continued to comfort them.

The one who suffered the biggest blow was Cao Ang. Ding’s slap made Cao Ang lose his self-confidence. Cao Ang was helpless. He obviously wanted to protect his family, but why couldn’t he do it?

……

Three days later.

Cao Shuo finally regained consciousness under Hua Tuo's care, and all the brothers slowly came out of their sadness. After Cao Cao learned that Cao Shuo had regained consciousness, he could finally prepare for the expedition with peace of mind.

"Zizhao, it was my fault that day that it took you so long to wake up." Cao Yun said with self-blame.

"Sister, I'm fine, haven't I woke up now?" A smile appeared on Cao Shuo's pale face. He was actually very proud that he, a sick man, could finally do something for his brothers.
p>

"Second brother, I'm sorry. I will never mess around again. I will do whatever you ask me to do from now on." Cao Zhang's words made Cao Shuo laugh, but he was also very happy for Cao Zhang's change.

The brothers have been by Cao Shuo's side. Cao Shuo has not lived at home for a long time. This injury was a blessing in disguise. The somewhat alienated family relationship between the brothers became closer again.

"Sir, can my second brother's old illness be cured?" Cao Pi found Hua Tuo and asked about Cao Shuo's condition.

"Master Zizhao's illness is congenital. It may be difficult for him to behave like a normal person, but as long as he cultivates with peace of mind and takes the medicinal soup I made every day, there won't be any big problems." Hua Tuo thought about it.

Answered immediately.

"Really? That's great." Cao Pi said happily. Cao Shuo had been suffering from diseases since he was a child. With Hua Tuo, a miracle doctor, Cao Shuo's health could gradually improve.

Hua Tuo smiled and said nothing. Every time he saw the fire of hope rekindled in the eyes of the patient's relatives, friends and children, he would feel that everything he had done was worth it. The relationship between the Cao family brothers was harmonious, and Hua Tuo was also happy.

Let this friendship become stronger.

"Sir, I have to ask you to take care of my second brother recently." Cao Pi cupped his hands and thanked him.

"Master, are you going on a long trip?" Hua Tuo asked.
