Not sure whether it was the scene just now that frightened her or the position she and Xiao Yu were in was too intimate, Su Luo's heart beat so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat.
She had never been so close to a man.
What's more, it's still like this...
She was lying on the ground, with one of Xiao Yu's arms underneath her, holding her vest with his palm, and Xiao Yu resting his elbow on top of her. The distance between their cheeks was only a punch.
Su Luo's eyes flashed in panic, and she stretched out her hand to push Xiao Yu, "Brother Xiao."
Although Xiao Yu did not rape the girl, he was not a gentleman either. Now that he had the girl pinned down like this, he knew clearly what this meant by Brother Xiao, but he did not move and did not loosen his hold on her.
"Um?"
Xiao Yu's cheek was just a punch away from Su Luo, and a "hmm" came from him. The sound was not loud, but it made Su Luo's scalp numb, his heart numb, and his whole body numb.
She pushed the flute with some force, "They left."
Xiao Yu looked at Su Luo's red ears in the dusk, held back his smile, and finally got up reluctantly.
Su Luo quickly got up as she felt light on her body.
"What happened just now? Just do it anyway. Didn't the Yamen hire people to dig out the silt at the dock? How come there are still people who dare to go against the Yamen? Who are those people?"
Xiao Yu stood up and walked towards old Uncle Zhang, asking questions knowingly.
Su Luo was a little embarrassed at first, but that embarrassment dissipated as Xiao Yu talked about business. She picked up the bucket of brine and walked over.
Old Uncle Zhang was slapped hard and his legs were so painful that he could not get up. He sat on the ground and gnashed his teeth, "Who knows where these people came from? A group of people suddenly came a few years ago and destroyed several households living on the dock.
They all drove them away, and now they come back to do evil."
The injuries of the workers ranged from minor to serious. Those with minor injuries got up and endured the pain to help those with serious injuries.
They were all ordinary people working hard, and suddenly they encountered such a disaster from heaven. No one knew what to do, and they were angry and aggrieved.
An elder brother wiped his tears and said, "My son still has a high fever and is waiting for my salary to save his life. The medicine is so expensive now. If this job doesn't work anymore..."
The eldest brother couldn't speak anymore, his face was full of despair.
Su Luo stood nearby and felt uncomfortable.
Xiao Yu said: "You guys should rest at home tomorrow. I'll go to the Yamen and ask for everyone. The Yamen can't ignore such a big incident. Which Yamen are you employed by?"
"Jinnan's Yamen." The workers said in a hurry.
A man who was slightly injured looked at Xiao Yu. Everyone didn't know who he was. They just thought that he was a prostitute like Su Luo. "I'll go with you tomorrow. I don't ask the Yamen to compensate us. Let's see if it can be done."
Keep working, everyone is pointing to this money."
The others nodded.
Who dares to expect compensation from the Yamen? It would be nice if they can continue to make money.
"Okay, let's meet at the entrance of Jinnan Yamen tomorrow morning, and then we'll go and ask together." Xiao Yu agreed.
The co-workers helped each other go home. Xiao Yu bent down and carried Old Uncle Zhang on his back, "I'm afraid your leg is broken, so you have to go to the medicine hall."
"No, no, no, I won't go to the medicine hall. The medicine hall is too expensive. I can't afford it!" Old Uncle Zhang lay on Xiao Yu's back, grinned and took a breath, "Just take it home for me. Hey,
Thank you, thank you."
Su Luo frowned and followed beside her, "How can I pick up my legs if I don't go to the medicine hall?"
Old Uncle Zhang's legs were hurting so much, and there were beads of sweat all over his head. "Let Dachuan go find the veterinarian in Wangjiacun. He can set bones, just the same."
Dachuan is the eldest son of Uncle Zhang, whose name is Zhang Dachuan.
Old Uncle Zhang was reluctant to part with the money and insisted on going home. Xiao Yu and Su Luo sent him home without any further persuasion.
"mother!"
Aunt Zhang was preparing dinner in the kitchen when she suddenly heard a heart-wrenching cry from her youngest son in the courtyard, which was so frightening that she almost cut off her finger with the knife in her hand, so she dropped the knife and ran out.
"What happened..."
Before she finished speaking, Aunt Zhang saw old Uncle Zhang being carried back by Xiao Yu.
One of Uncle Zhang's legs was covered in blood. His youngest son, Zhang Xiaochuan, was so frightened that he cried and stayed motionless in the yard.
Aunt Zhang howled and rushed towards Old Uncle Zhang, "What's going on? Ah? Dad, how did this happen?"
Xiao Yu carried the person to the main room on his back.
Aunt Zhang followed her into the house crying.
"It was fine when I left. How did this happen? How did it happen?"
"Let Dachuan go find Veterinarian Wang." Old Uncle Zhang endured the pain and got on the kang. He leaned on the quilt and took a deep breath. He said to Sister-in-law Zhang as if he was exhausted.
Aunt Zhang was so frightened that her face turned green. She trembled several times and wanted to get on the kang to see if Uncle Zhang's legs had even climbed up. The blood on Old Uncle Zhang's trouser legs was still dripping blood out. It was shocking.
, Su Luo stood on the edge of the kang, her face turned pale.
Aunt Zhang wiped her tears and said, "Veterinary surgeon Wang went to his wife's natal house. Something happened to the Ma family's cows today. I went to ask for veterinary surgeon Wang, but they didn't invite him. He said he wouldn't be back until three or four days."
While talking, Zhang Xiaochuan came in as if he was soulless.
Aunt Zhang quickly said to him: "Go and call your brother back. Your brother is still in the academy. Go quickly."
Zhang Xiaochuan glanced at the kang, his eyes fell on his father's legs, he howled in fright, turned around and ran out crying, shouting as he ran, "Brother, brother..."
"Go and hire a doctor. I'll pay for the doctor. If Uncle Zhang hadn't introduced me to the business today, I wouldn't have caught up."
Su Luo's heart was filled with unbearable pain, especially Zhang Xiaochuan's shouts for brother, which made her feel like a spasm in her heart. Without saying a word, she turned around and walked out.
Aunt Zhang quickly went to pull her, "Brother Su, Brother Su..."
Aunt Zhang wants to say don't go, the medicine hall is too expensive and you can't afford the medicine.
But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.
If you don't go to the medicine hall, how can the child's father fix his legs?
She opened her mouth and pulled Su Luo, her eyes full of fear, confusion, and despair.
The despair was the same as that on the face of the man who was crying and said that his child still had a fever. Su Luo couldn't stand it.
"Auntie is taking care of old Uncle Zhang. Brother Su and I are going to the medicine hall. This leg can't be delayed. We need to treat it quickly." Xiao Yu was originally checking Old Uncle Zhang's leg on the kang, but now he jumped down from the kang, "The medical expenses...
....I'll go to the Yamen tomorrow to see if I can make some compensation."
There is only one medicine hall in Chunxi Town, called Huichun Hall.
When Su Luo and Xiao Yu entered, the doctor at the medicine hall was taking people's pulse. When he saw them coming in, he just glanced at them, but the moment his eyes fell on Su Luo's face, his eyes widened in vain, his pupils widened.
Trembling.
Even the fingertips used to take the patient's pulse trembled.
