Wang Jiajia's father and daughter next door heard the commotion, and together with Yang Mosheng and I, we escorted my mother to the Huichun Hall. Because it was still early, the hospital was not open yet.
Wang Jiajia waved her fists and pounded on the door like raindrops. Fatty Wang also shouted in a loud voice.
The door finally opened, and Li Huichun glanced at us sleepily: "What's wrong?"
"Hurry...my grandma..." Panting, I carried my grandma into the house and put her on the bed. I was so tired that it was very difficult to even speak.
"She injured her foot yesterday, and we have taken care of it. Somehow, she looked like this this morning. Doctor...please take a look at her." Fatty Wang was breathing heavily, and his words were full of panic.
Li Huichun touched Grandma's forehead, lit a candle and placed it at the end of the bed. He took off the dressing on Grandma's feet, checked her pulse, and then said, "The wound is very red and swollen. I'm afraid it's infected, so it's going to be..."
She has a fever. I will clean the wound first and then prescribe some oral medicine. Don’t worry. You go to the back to get a basin of water, wipe it for her, and help her reduce the fever first."
"Hey, okay." I responded and walked in the direction he pointed.
Behind the hospital is a yard that is not too big, and there are several rooms in succession, which should be where Li Huichun and the others live. But I didn't see a well, so I don't know where there is water. There should be a water tank in the kitchen, but it's still sunny.
It wasn't bright enough, so I couldn't tell the direction for a while.
"What are you looking for?" a female voice asked, sticking her head out of the door.
Dimly, I thought she looked familiar. She should be Li Huichun's wife.
So I clasped my hands and said, "May I ask where you can get some water? My grandma has a fever, and Doctor Li asked me to get a basin of water to cool her down first."
"Oh, wait a minute." The woman went back to the room, closed the door after a while and tiptoed out, went to another room and brought me water and a handkerchief.
"Sister Xueyan, what's wrong? Is there an emergency?" Du Xiuzhen also opened the door and came out, still wearing pajamas, covering her mouth and yawning. When she saw me, she went back to the room in a panic and put on her coat, and said again: "So it's
You? Who is sick? Sister Xueyan, please go back to the room to accompany Xinyan, so as not to find her mother when she wakes up."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
I returned to the consulting room with water. Li Huichun had helped my mother re-bandage the wound. Seeing that Du Xiuzhen had followed me, he explained: "I am afraid that the medicine they used yesterday has been left out for too long and has long since expired. The wound is not healed."
It was taken care of in time. If there were some infections, I re-applied the medicine and just changed it every other day.
My aunt is currently suffering from a high fever, so she is unconscious. Instruct her to wipe her whole body. When the fever subsides and she wakes up, give her this pill to take. There is also this prescription. Grab the medicine and cook it in the morning and evening.
Take.”
"Oh, then you all should stay out of the way. Let this sister stay and clean herself up for the aunt." Du Xiuzhen brought a screen and waved to us.
The four of us grown men retreated outside the house, staring at each other for a moment, looking a little embarrassed.
"Thank you so much, Doctor Li." I bowed my hands and thanked him, breaking the silence.
"It's okay. It's my duty. I just don't know how the aunt was injured. Looking at the wound, it seems to have been pinched by something."
"Yes, a trap. I accidentally stepped on it."
"Oh, don't worry, the fever will be gone. Just be careful not to touch the wound with water before it scabs, and don't go to the ground for half a month, otherwise you will be disabled in the future."
"Are you going to stay in bed for half a month?" I was afraid that I heard wrongly.
"That's right. It's best to lie down and rest in bed."
"Okay. Thank you very much, Doctor Li."
Li Huichun smiled: "After all, there are differences between men and women. Let's go to Dr. Du for dressing changes in the future. It's Dr. Du's turn to have a consultation today. I have something else to do, so I'll take the first step."
"Brother Li, where are you going? Aren't you having breakfast at home?" Xue Yan chased after him and asked.
"Oh, I'm going to see the imperial envoy. He has been infected with cold these days and has a bad cough. I gave him medicine yesterday. I wonder if he is feeling better today. Don't tell Xiuzhen, so as not to cause further trouble for her." Li
Huichun said and left quickly.
The imperial envoy is also sick? No wonder he has not been seen these days. As a friend, I should go and visit, but I am currently being watched by Yang Mosheng's people, which is really inconvenient. I only hope that Li Huichun can be cured of his illness soon.
These relieved his pain.
"Brother Li, don't worry too much. I heard that Dr. Li is a close disciple of Dr. Du and has superb medical skills. Mom will be fine." Yang Mosheng saw me thinking deeply and thought I was worried about my mother, so he patted my shoulder and comforted me.
.
"Oh, Brother Yang, thank you very much for your help lighting the lamp along the way. It's almost dawn, you go and do your work first." I said to Yang Mosheng, hoping that this thorn would be removed as soon as possible.
"Okay, then Uncle Wang, I'm leaving first. If you need me for anything, just go to Qianbei Buzui to find me."
Fatty Wang saw him walking away and came closer to me: "Is this Yang Mosheng really a meticulous craftsman? After living in your house for so long, have you found any clues?"
I shook my head: "He goes out early every day and comes back late every day. He is always cautious. I don't dare to try too hard to trick him. I don't know what his plans are. I don't know if those people yesterday were with him."
"Who were those people yesterday? What was your mother doing when she went out of the city so well?" Fatty Wang asked doubtfully.
I was stunned: "Jiajia didn't tell you?"
"What did you say? Jianghu, please explain it to me. I discovered last night that Jiajia seemed very unhappy and didn't even talk to you. Tell me, did you bully her?"
Seeing that I couldn't hide it, I had to talk about Wang Jiajia's kidnapping in an understatement.
Fatty Wang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "These bastards dare to touch my daughter. I will tear them into pieces if I don't."
"Master, don't worry. Fortunately, it's okay. Jiajia is probably afraid that you will worry, so she didn't say a word. But after all, she was a little frightened, and yesterday was her mother's memorial day, so she was not in a good mood."
I quickly explained because I was afraid that Fatty Wang would know that I rejected Wang Jiajia's proposal.
"Then...what do you need me to do? Now that the group of craftsmen have started taking action, shouldn't we also do something?"
"It's better to wait and see what happens. Master, can you find a way to find out the origin of the county government secretary?"
"Secretary Lin? What? Do you suspect there is something wrong with him? Do you want to report it to the imperial envoy?"
"Don't worry, let's find out more about it before we talk."
"Hmm. Hey, just now Doctor Li said that the imperial envoy was ill, but it was really not the right time. If Xiao Zuo finds out..." Fatty Wang said, suddenly stopped, and he looked at me confusedly: "I heard that Doctor Li is the imperial envoy.
My friend, he must also be a secret agent, right? Then does he know that Yang Mosheng is a spy? If he knew, why did he tell the story that the imperial envoy was ill? "
After Fatty Wang said this, I figured it out. Li Huichun was Xiao Mu's most trusted person. Of course he knew Yang Mosheng's identity. So what was his purpose in deliberately stating that the imperial envoy was ill?
"Aye, my mother's fever has gone down a bit and she has taken the pills. Doctor Du has prepared the medicine and asked us to go home and rest." Wang Jiajia ran out and said excitedly.
"Aniang. Aniang, are you awake?" I entered the room and grabbed Aniang's hand and became excited: "You just scared me to death."
"You are all here. Where am I?" Aniang looked around and wanted to get out of bed, but Du Xiuzhen held her down.
"Auntie, this is Huichun Hall. I am Du Xiuzhen. Come over the day after tomorrow and I will change your dressing."
"Huichun Tang? Why did you come to the hospital with just this little injury?" Grandma's face was filled with distress.
"Mom, what are you talking about, what kind of herbal medicine did you apply yesterday? And Aye, where did you get the golden sore medicine you brought back last time?" Wang Jiajia complained, still not looking at me or talking to me.
Talking made me feel a little confused as to whether I was invisible.
The sky is gradually getting brighter, and looking at the morning glow in the east makes people feel warm in their hearts.
My grandma was injured, so of course I had to take care of her at home. She had three meals a day and served tea and water. As a son, it was my duty to take care of her. It seemed that the business of selling tofu would be suspended for a few days. I dragged Fatty Wang to deliver a letter to Uncle Fu.
I asked Madam Mu for half a month's leave. This was good, so that those ghosts could temporarily give up their intention of asking me to help monitor Madam Mu.
I carried my mother on my back and went home. Wang Jiajia followed beside me, chatting and laughing with her. I interrupted several times and tried to strike up a conversation with them, but to no avail. Are they the real mother and daughter? And in their eyes, I
Just a horse?
After putting grandma on the bed, grandma sent Wang Jiajia away to go back to cooking, then she grabbed me and said, "Tell me, tell me. What's going on?"
I smiled: "What did you say?"
"Jiajia! I can see that you have really disappointed her. Mom is forty and she eats more salt than you eat rice..."
"Grandma, why do you eat so much salt? Aren't you cool?" I saw that Grandma was trying to teach me something again. Knowing that her condition was stable, I couldn't help but joke.
"You brat!" Auntie patted my head gently: "I'm going to tell you something serious. Jiajia is really good. Will Mommy harm you?"
I scratched my head: "I know that Jiajia is a good girl. If nothing else, she has cared deeply about our family over the years..."
"As long as you know, what do you mean..."
I smiled bitterly: "I...I think Jiajia is really good now, but I was blind before. But...I made her angry, and I...Mrs. Mu proposed marriage, so I signed up."
"What? You...you also signed up? Ah!" Grandma wanted to sit up, but when she curled her legs, her feet started to hurt again.
"Oh, Mom, don't get excited, or the wound will bleed again." I advised: "I didn't want to go at first, but Yang Mosheng kept encouraging me to sign up. I didn't know what his purpose was, so I had to obey him and eager to go.
Lure the snake out of its hole."
"What about the results? Did you find anything?"
I shook my head: "No."
"Then when you propose marriage...what will be the result?"
"Me? Haha, I am like this. How can I catch Madam Mu's eyes? I can only create momentum for her."
"That's good. I happen to need to stay in bed, so you should take a good rest for half a month and don't interfere with Madam Mu's affairs. When her marriage is settled, Jiajia will naturally feel at ease. If you work harder,
Jiajia chased her back, remember?"
"Oh, grandma, you are like this again. In the past, it was you who kept mentioning Jiajia in front of me, which made me annoyed and had a rebellious mentality. Now, I finally turned around on my own, and you are still talking about it?" I
complained.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore. I'm really too lazy to care about you. Why do I have so many things to do?" Auntie glanced at me sideways, pulled up the quilt and turned over: "I'll sleep a little longer and call you when the food is ready.
