Chapter seven hundred and eighty first meeting an acquaintance
Xie Yao came to the door of the teahouse where she was going to buy cash. Seeing that the door was closed, she tried to knock on the door.
After knocking for a while, there was no response.
Xie Yao asked the neighbors of the teahouse again, and then learned that the owner of the teahouse had just left the courtyard and would not be back for a few days.
Seeing that he could not find the owner of the teahouse, Xie Yao turned around and planned to go back.
As a result, before I could take a few steps out, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind me, and at the same time, someone shouted loudly, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Don't keep your eyes open!"
Xie Yao didn't even look back and leaned directly to the side.
The carriage was not actually moving very fast, but the servants who were clearing the way were in a hurry, staying far away in front to separate the crowd and prepare for the passage of the carriage.
That formation was not much worse than when the emperor was traveling.
Soon, the servant who was clearing the way passed by Xie Yao and continued to clear the way.
At this time, an iron bead rolled out of nowhere and rolled directly into the middle of the road.
Then a little boy ran from the side to pick up the iron beads.
Immediately, a servant who opened the way stepped forward and kicked the little boy down, then picked him up and threw him aside, cursing, "Where did this wild boy come from? He doesn't know the rules! I don't know the wife of the General Protector's Mansion."
Are you passing by? If you dare to go forward, you may lose your life!"
The little boy was about five or six years old. He was thin and thin. He was kicked and thrown again. His little body curled up into a ball and his face turned pale.
Xie Yao frowned, glanced at the little boy, and her eyes darkened.
The little boy curled up motionless, and his whole body trembled with pain at the slightest movement. It was most likely that he had a broken bone!
It's okay if the limbs are broken, but if the chest and abdomen are broken, it could be life-threatening!
Just as she was about to step over to check, the carriage suddenly arrived. The curtains on the side windows fluttered in the wind, raising a small corner.
Xie Yao took advantage of the situation and glanced coldly, her eyes fell on the face of the person in the carriage, and she suddenly condensed!
This face... is so familiar!
Is it Shangguan Yue?
Didn't she disappear during her exile? Why did she appear in Dong'ao Country?
Because she suddenly saw Shangguan Yue, she was momentarily distracted, and her eyes followed the carriage away.
"Ah! It hurts!" Suddenly a clear cry of pain sounded, bringing Xie Yao back from her thoughts.
She looked at the huddled little boy. A layer of cold sweat had appeared on his forehead, and his face was getting whiter and whiter in pain.
Ignoring the carriage going away, Xie Yao took a few steps to the little boy, squatted down, and said in a soft voice: "Don't move, you may be injured. I'm a doctor, I can take a look at it for you."
When the little boy heard this, he struggled to get up and said, "I don't have enough money to hire a doctor! Don't diagnose me!"
Xie Yao held the little boy down and comforted him softly, "I treat people based on fate and never charge money! Stop moving, otherwise the injury will not heal."
The little boy calmed down when he heard that he wouldn't take any money.
Xie Yao quickly checked and was able to determine that the little boy had a fracture, and that he was kicked in the back, causing rib fractures.
But fortunately it's not serious, it's very mild.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to play with iron beads for the next three months." She saw the iron beads tightly held in the little boy's hand and said softly with regret.
The little boy looked over immediately, "Why? Am I seriously injured?"
"It's not serious," Xie Yao smiled slightly, "but it hurt the bones. It's said that it takes a hundred days to break the bones. If you want the bones to grow well, you have to stay there for a hundred days."
As she said that, she lightly touched the little boy's broken bone, "It's right here. It's about three fingers away from the left side of your spine."
The little boy grinned in pain, and finally believed Yao's words, "Thank you, sister."
"You're welcome. You don't need to take medicine when you go back. If you eat more and sleep more, you will be fine soon." Xie Yao smiled and helped the little boy up. "Your legs are not injured and you can leave."
The little boy moved his legs and found that nothing was wrong, so he ran forward.
After running a few steps, he stopped again and looked back at Xie Yao, "Sister, thank you very much! I will definitely repay your kindness!"
After saying that, he turned his head back and ran away quickly.
Xie Yao smiled, then stood up straight and looked in the direction where the carriage disappeared just now, with a serious look in his eyes.
After a while, she returned to her residence and told her grandfather and Xie Wenwu about the carriage.
"Are you sure that person is Shangguan Yue? After all, the appearance is similar. It would not be surprising if there is a person here who looks similar to Shangguan Yue." Old General Xie asked seriously.
"Maybe." Xie Yao was noncommittal, after all, it was just a quick glance.
Xie Wenwu also frowned in confusion, "She is the wife of the General Protector's Mansion?"
"It should be a concubine," Xie Yao said. "I asked the people around and they all recognized the carriage. They said the person inside was named Jia. She was a woman brought back by Chen Shengwu, the grandson of the general who protected the country, and took her as a concubine."
Xie Wenwu's eyes darkened slightly, "When I go to the restaurant tomorrow, I will ask the secret guards to check. If she is really Shangguan Yue, she will be executed on the spot!"
Xie Yao turned her head and waved her hand, "No need to go to so much trouble. If she is really Shangguan Yue, I will find a way to make her unable to live or die."
At the beginning, Shangguan Yue framed her by assassinating Chu Rui and wanted to kill her as a "great favor", which she kept in mind.
If she hadn't found clues to escape later, she would be a lonely soul now.
Moreover, Shangguan Yue is still alive. Shangguan Yue’s insidiousness and despicableness might ruin her affairs!
"Okay, wait for my news tomorrow." Xie Wenwu said with a smile, subconsciously raising his hand to move his chest, accidentally pulling the wound on his arm, and the corner of his mouth moved slightly.
Xie Yao happened to see Xie Wenwu's micro-expression and asked with concern: "Brother, what's wrong with your arm?"
"No? My arm is fine, nothing happened." Xie Wenwu said, and deliberately patted his upper arm, his expression not moving at all.
Xie Yao looked at Xie Wenwu playfully, without saying anything, just looking at him.
If she was not a doctor, she might have been deceived by Xie Wenwu.
But as a doctor, the basic skill is to observe the patient's appearance. The unconscious movement of Xie Wenwu's mouth just now proved that there was an injury on his arm.
It's just that it should be a very minor injury.
"Wenwu, you can't hide it from Yao'er, so just tell the truth. It's not a shame." General Xie spoke and glanced at Xie Wenwu.
"...Okay." Xie Wenwu nodded helplessly, and then told him about being scratched by the carriage and the woman wanted to take him to see a doctor.
Xie Yao raised her eyebrows after hearing this, "Why don't you go? She scratched you, so it's only right that she take you to see a doctor."
Xie Wenwu turned his head to the side, "It's just a minor injury. I don't want to cause trouble. Besides, I still carry so many banknotes on my body."
When Xie Yao mentioned the banknotes, his mind sank and he suddenly looked up, "Grandpa, have you been to a gambling house?"
