Sure enough, the soft cushions she laid in the carriage were already covered in blood, but fortunately, there were no blood stains outside the carriage, so there must have been no blood dripping all the way.
Xia Qiyue cleaned up the blood stains in the carriage and threw all the cushions into the space. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and ran back upstairs.
Not long after, the waiter and the doctor came over. The two of them were talking about this all the way in the corridor. Xia Qiyue also heard it clearly. The doctor had been complaining about bothering him to come here so late.
It's just pretentious to say that rich people are just drunk. Do you need to bother me to go there?
The waiter laughed along with him and asked the old doctor to walk faster.
The two of them arrived in front of Xia Qiyue's room not long after.
"Madam, the old doctor is here, open the door!"
Xia Qiyue had already prepared it and opened the door a crack. "Sorry, brother, please ask the doctor to take a pulse from my husband!"
After saying that, he made room for someone to come out and asked the waiter to prepare water.
The waiter in the shop took someone's twenty taels of silver for running errands. He was already working hard, so there was no reason not to go, so he went to Le Dian Dian.
Xia Qiyue quickly locked the door and entered the room.
As soon as he entered, he reached out and took out a certain amount of silver and handed it to the old doctor.
The old doctor did not take the money immediately, but said something incomprehensible.
"Are you trying to cover up such a strong smell of blood with the smell of alcohol?"
Xia Qiyue was panicking in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She said calmly, "Please, old doctor, help me bandage my husband's wound! All this money will be your hard-earned money, and the medicine will be paid separately!"
She claimed to be the man's wife when she entered the inn, and she didn't change her story now. She simply let the doctor guess what caused the man's injury.
As the saying goes, money can make all the difference. In the end, the old doctor didn't care, took the money, and turned around to check the wound.
Xia Qiyue was waiting at the door. She was anxious. She was anxious to go back to the courtyard to see how the children were doing. Are her younger siblings anxious to go out to look for her? What if something happened to her when she went out to look for her?
As for Lao An's family, when An Zihao came back, the whole family was asleep. Seeing that it was getting dark, the six of them couldn't wait for the fourth sister-in-law to come back, so they hurried out to look for someone.
Along the way we found Baijia Village and heard from people in the village that the fourth sister-in-law had left long ago.
It was completely dark, so they divided into two groups to search. Once again they found Xiaoyuan'er from Baijia Village, and learned that Xia Qiyue still hadn't come back.
The six people were so anxious that they searched almost all over Jiuli Town, and even An Youde and An Zihao found Wang Ji.
In the end, to no avail, the two of them went back to the village to search. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they learned that Xia Qiyue's missing clan leader and his family, An Orion and Wang Dazuizi, all held torches and wanted to go into the forest to look for them.
Only then did An Zihao know that his fourth brother had died, his parents had forced his fourth sister-in-law to remarry him, and they had robbed him of the pension all afternoon...
Everyone was ready, took torches and went to look for people. The area near Baijia Village was far away from the mountains, but there were many woods. They were afraid that Xia Qiyue would encounter danger on his way back.
Many people joined the search team one after another. Almost all the men in the village came, except for Lao Anjia, who had already gone to bed.
The old An family was originally waiting for An Zihao to come back to talk about marrying Xia Qiyue, but they waited and waited for An Zihao to come back, and finally had no choice but to fall asleep.
At Yuelai Inn, the old doctor was bribed and threatened by Xia Qiyue. He said that he came here tonight just to take a pulse, prescribed some sobering soup and left. The patient was just drunk and had no other symptoms.
And all the things used to clean wounds, even the water for cleaning, were put into the space. Xia Qiyue put a handful of space soil in the bathtub brought by the waiter to dirty the water, and left the inn in the dead of night.
, drove away.
Before leaving, I left a letter for the man, explaining the matter in a nutshell.
The most important thing was the money. Although she knew that she might not get the money back, she still wrote down clearly what she had spent on him.
It’s fifty taels in total. Don’t ask her if she spent so much. Isn’t there also her errand fee?
Finally, I wrote, although I can’t tell you my name, but if you really want to pay back the money, you can bury it under the last pillar of the hitching post. I’ll come over and take a look in five days. If you don’t pay it back, I’ll treat you as a blank slate.
Wolf, I deserve to spend a whole night saving you.
Xia Qiyue had no other choice, because she knew this man was dangerous and tried not to have anything to do with him anymore.
When she returned home, her younger siblings were pacing back and forth in the yard, looking anxious.
Because the six people who went out to look for someone came back several times, taking turns to ask the fourth sister-in-law if she was back.
When Xia Qiyue came in, Xia Jiuyue thought it was someone who came back to ask for news. When she suddenly saw her eldest sister standing in front of her, she couldn't help crying.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine. Come in quickly. It's so cold outside! Xinghe, help sister unload the carriage and feed the horses!" Xia Qiyue hurriedly walked over to stop her sister from crying.
This younger sister is good at everything, but she is timid. Although she is not very courageous, her younger sister is more timid and introverted. She likes to hide everything in her heart.
"Sister, where have you been? We are worried to death, the six of them are still looking for you everywhere!" Xia Jiuyue was obviously so emotionally broken that he couldn't hold back his tears and burst into tears.
"Are they looking for me?" Xia Qiyue heard the message in Xia Yueyue's words and asked her sister anxiously.
"Yeah...wuwuwu, it's dark and I can't wait for you to come back. They went out to look for...looking for you. They have...came back several times and said they couldn't find you. Wuwuwuwu, eldest sister, what happened?
?Where have you been? What if...what if something happens to you? Wuwuwu...what should I do if I can't find you..."
Suddenly releasing the emotions in her heart, Xia Yueyue cried so hard that she was out of breath and expressed her worries incoherently.
On the other hand, Xia Xinghe, who is much younger than Chen Jing, can drive the carriage to unload it calmly.
"It's okay, my sister is back, don't cry, don't cry! Where are the children?" Xia Qiyue coaxed her sister to go inside. Even though she knew that the six people were looking for her, she still had to calm down her sister's emotions first.
Sure enough, Xia Jiuyue gradually stopped crying when he asked about the children.
"They have been crying for a long time. I just...just put them all to sleep!" He said as he wiped his tears, fearing to wake the children and did not dare to speak any more.
Xia Qiyue entered her room and looked at the children whose eyes were swollen from crying. She felt that she had a rough day today. First she became a widow, and then she was forced by Lao An's family to remarry her brother-in-law. On the way home, she was scared and busy.
He was trying to save others, but he was worried about his own people, making it impossible for everyone to rest so late.
Xia Xinghe's voice sounded from the window, "Brother Dongzi, my sister is back!"
The sound of the courtyard door closing was followed by Anton's voice: "The fourth sister-in-law is back? How are you? Are you not hurt? Liangzi, hurry up, the fourth sister-in-law is back!"
Xia Qiyue heard the movement in the yard and hurried out of the room.
It turned out that Dongzi and Liangzi were sent here by several other people.
