Chapter Fifty-six: Moment of Chaos~)

Zhu Xiu sent Shi Kuangwei back to Jiedu Mansion, where the doctor pulled out the arrow clusters and applied bandages to the sores.

During this period, Lao Shi suffered from excessive bleeding and fell into a coma. Fortunately, the doctor said that his pulse was still stable and his life was not in danger.

Zhu Xiu used tweezers to pick out the arrow cluster from the blood basin and took a closer look. He saw a few rust spots on both sides of the blade, and his heart tightened.

Seeing the doctor sitting aside writing prescriptions, Zhu Xiu quickly took a closer look.

I saw medicinal materials such as Nanxing, Fangfeng, Gastrodia, Angelica dahurica, and White Aconite written on the prescription.

"Is this prescription from "Hua Tuo Shen Prescription" compiled by Sun Simiao?" Zhu Xiu asked hurriedly.

The old doctor was surprised and said: "Zhu Shaolang also studied medical skills?"

Zhu Xiuqian smiled and said: "I just read a few famous medical books and know a little bit about it."

The old doctor stroked his long gray beard and sighed: "Master Zhu is really a man of great learning!~"

Zhu Xiu asked the old doctor to continue writing prescriptions, and felt much more at ease.

If I remember correctly, this prescription is the Hua Tuo Shen Fang that was widely circulated among the people before the Ming Dynasty to treat and prevent tetanus.

It is said that most of the Chinese medicine prescriptions used to treat tetanus in later generations were improved on the basis of this ancient prescription.

The actual efficacy varies from person to person, but Lao Shi has numerous scars all over his body. He must have used similar medicines many times, and he is still alive and kicking. I think this medicine has a good effect on him.

"Daddy! Daddy!~"

Shi Lingyan ran into the house crying and threw herself in front of Shi Kuangwei's bed.

Zhu Xiu gently patted her helpless and trembling thin shoulder, and said comfortingly: "The doctor said that he lost too much blood and was temporarily comatose. His life is not in danger, and he will wake up in two days."

Shi Lingyan wiped away his tears and said in a hateful voice: "Who shot the arrow to hurt my father? I'm going to kill him! Zhu Xiu, take me to Chuya City to capture him!"

Zhu Xiu had no choice but to persuade: "It was all done by the mutinous tooth soldiers. Those rebel soldiers fled to death, and the murderer who injured your father must be among them."

"It's an advantage for them!" Shi Lingyan was furious.

Zhu Xiu comforted her with a few words and left the house quietly.

Outside the house, Shi Xiangwen squatted on the ground, watching a group of ants under the roots of a tree, dragging an aphid body back to the ant nest.

Zhu Xiu patted his thick shoulder, and Shi Xiangwen gave him a wide-mouthed smile. Then he thought of something, pointed to the room, and whispered nervously: "Daddy lost a lot of blood...will he die?" ?”

Zhu Xiu said softly: "Don't worry, it won't happen."

"Oh~" Shi Xiangwen shook his big head, then lowered his head and stared at the ant hole.

"Dalang, why don't you go inside and see your father." Zhu Xiu said.

Shi Xiangwen shook his head violently in panic: "No! I'm afraid!~"

Zhu Xiu asked doubtfully: "What are you afraid of?"

Shi Xiangwen looked into the room timidly, his thick lips pouting and saying nothing.

Zhu Xiu looked at him: "Are you afraid of seeing your father lose his life in front of you?"

Shi Xiangwen nodded his big head vigorously, as uneasy as a child worried about being scolded by his parents for doing something wrong: "I am a monster. Dad is injured and bleeds a lot. He will die if I am around!"

Zhu Xiu was startled, looking at Shi Xiangwen's clear eyes, and felt mixed emotions in her heart for a moment.

"Dalang, you are your father's only son, not a monster!" Zhu Xiu shook his head seriously.

Shi Xiangwen lowered his head and whispered sadly: "I used to play in the city, and many people said that I was a monster and that I killed my mother. They laughed at me and threw rocks at me. When I got angry, I beat them. ....Dad won’t let me go out after he finds out..."

Zhu Xiu sighed and patted his shoulder: "Don't listen to their nonsense! You are a giant spirit from the sky who came down to earth, not a monster! Your mother died of illness and it has nothing to do with you! Your father was injured and you stayed with him.

He will be happy to see you when he wakes up, so that the injury can heal faster."

Shi Xiangwen was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened with light a little bit: "Really?"

Zhu Xiu pointed to the ant hole at her feet and said with a smile: "I know what the little ants do in the hole, why moths grow in cocoons, and everything in the world! We are still friends, don't you believe me?

"

Shi Xiangwen thought about it seriously and grinned innocently: "I believe you!"

Zhu Xiu pointed to Yan Ping and said: "You stay in the house, but you must listen to him. Without his permission, no one can be allowed to get close to your father!"

Shi Xiangwen looked at Yan Ping and said with a smile: "I understand."

Zhu Xiu told Yan Ping again: "You lead fifty people to protect the handsome man, don't be careless!"

Yan Ping said solemnly: "Young Master, please rest assured!"

"Ma San sent people to invite Song Shen, Pei Jin, and Wen Tai, several officials from the Jiedu Prefecture. Chen An led his people to guard the south gate of Ya City, and asked Commander 2 and 3 to guard the north gate. I will go to a few warehouses first.

Look, we will meet at the south gate later!" Zhu Xiu ordered a few people.

Everyone took their orders and left.

Just as Zhu Xiu was about to leave, Shi Lingyan ran out of the house like a gust of wind, with a long whip wrapped around his waist and a dagger tied to his leg.

"What...are you doing?" Zhu Xiu saw her standing beside her without saying a word.

Shi Lingyan's eyes were red and his nose was wrinkled: "I'll follow you!"

"Why are you following me?" Zhu Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Old Shi is injured. You should go back to the house and guard him. There are trusted Ya soldiers guarding Yacheng, so everything should be fine."

Shi Lingyan shook his head, shook his pigtails, and said stubbornly: "Dad said during the day that I should follow you and not leave even one step!"

After a pause, Shi Lingyan lowered his head and swallowed more: "Dad is injured and hasn't woken up yet. I...I don't know what to do! If something happens to you, I...I..."

Zhu Xiu saw that she was about to cry out, so she quickly said: "Okay, your father is guarded by Da Lang, and I still have some manpower left, so there should be nothing wrong, so just follow me!"

"Yeah!" Shi Lingyan then burst into tears and smiled. Then he pretended to be serious and followed Zhu Xiu obediently, faithfully performing his duties as a bodyguard.

The two of them left Jiedu Mansion and rushed to the barracks and warehouse.

There was a commotion in Yacheng. More than a thousand Yacheng soldiers were divided into two groups to defend the city, and no extra manpower could be allocated.

Except for Shi Lingyan, there was no one available in Jiedu Mansion at the critical moment, and even the work of inspecting the warehouse had to be done personally.

On the way, passing through a secluded alley, Shi Lingyan suddenly stopped and looked back, unconsciously clenching the whip in his hand.

Zhu Xiu glanced at it and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

Shi Lingyan frowned and said, "It seems like someone is following us!"

Zhu Xiu looked from both ends, and saw that the lanes were filled with earth-walled courtyards and a few shops. They were closed at dusk, and it was quiet everywhere.

"Did you hear wrong? Where is the person?" The little lady who was sobbing and crying just now suddenly turned into a cold and charming heroine with sensitive six senses. Zhu Xiu was a little uncomfortable with it.

Shi Lingyan said nothing, his dark and smart eyes showing a bit of vigilance.

"The soldiers and horses in Yacheng are all direct descendants of the Shi family. There will be no problems. Don't worry..."

Zhu Xiu disagreed and took her arm and walked forward.

As soon as he took a step, there was a sharp "chirp" sound of a sharp arrow piercing the air, and there was a faint sound of a bowstring vibrating in the distance. A black dot appeared in front of Zhu Xiu's eyes. It was a sharp arrow rotating at high speed!

"I..." Zhu Xiu opened her mouth wide and was so frightened that she couldn't say a single word.

"Get out of the way!" Shi Lingyan shouted and kicked Zhu Xiu on the butt.

Zhu Xiu screamed and flew away with her arms and legs. She hit a wall hard and fell to the ground, burying her face in the gray nest.
