The fifth elder brother changed his blood-stained clothes, wiped his body, drank the soothing soup, and fell into a drowsy sleep.
However, because of the pain from the wound, he had an extremely uneasy sleep.
Every time I closed my eyes, I would wake up with twitching in a quarter or two.
Wu Fujin sat beside the bed to accompany him.
Every time the fifth elder brother wakes up, she sings a lullaby in a low voice.
The fifth elder brother's situation is better.
Shu Shu hid outside and stood at the door, still thinking about the relationship between honey and black bears.
There was movement outside.
Brother Jiu came in from outside in a hurry, with sweat on his forehead.
"Fifth brother..."
Just as he was about to ask, Shu Shu blocked his mouth.
Shu Shu whispered: "Master, please keep your voice down, fifth brother just went to bed..."
Brother Jiu pursed his lips, moved lightly, entered the room, and tiptoed to the bed.
When he saw the wounds on Brother Five's face clearly, his eyes widened.
When he came out, he pulled Shushu out of the yard, and then said with shock: "Caught by a bear?"
The fifth elder brother's wound was obviously a scratch.
In addition to a large wound about three inches long, there was also a small wound about one inch long, almost parallel to the left and right sides of the cheekbone.
The minor injury only broke the surface of the skin, and there were no stitches.
The reason why Brother Jiu guessed it was not that he was very smart, but that it was either a tiger or a black bear that could hurt people even when surrounded by guards.
Shu Shu nodded and exchanged several elder brothers with the eldest elder brother and told the story about the fifth elder brother's encounter with the bear.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "It's not Lao San, he doesn't have such a brain... If he really has the courage to kill two birds with one stone and wants to reap the benefits, then he is not him..."
Shu Shu didn't argue with him.
Heart is under the kyte.
Who knows whether the short-sightedness shown by the third elder brother now is a human device.
"Sir, under what circumstances would a wild beast target a person?"
Shu Shu felt that if she found this problem, she might be able to find clues to the wild bear's murder.
"There must be some grudge. Even big animals hold grudges..."
Brother Jiu said: "Hunters in the mountains have a rule, that is, if they encounter tigers, leopards, and wolves, if they are injured but not killed, they should try not to enter the mountains in the future... Otherwise, they will be attacked unexpectedly at any time, and they will lose their lives.
…”
"My eldest brother is traveling with us. He just entered the paddock yesterday and I have never heard of him going into the mountains to hunt. So where does this hatred come from?"
Shu Shu thought about various possibilities, but still felt that the smell had been manipulated, not just the honey.
Brother Jiu couldn't guess it for a moment and said: "It's not that the bear corpse is also here, let's go over and have a look..."
The bear carcass is in the yard next door.
The young couple went over, and when they saw clearly the characteristics of the bear corpse, Brother Jiu started to tremble: "This is the end of the cage yesterday..."
Shu Shu remembered that he hadn't mentioned the origin of this bear yet, so he nodded and said: "That's why it's even more strange. Since hunger inspires ferocity, why are you still chasing people away with honey..."
Brother Jiu sneered and said: "Isn't this simple?! This is a female bear. It smells like honey. If you throw the cub to death in front of her, you are not an enemy..."
The black bear is commonly known as the black blind man, which means that it has poor eyesight and can tell people by smell alone.
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu, a little worried.
The whole person was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, and he looked a little scary.
She hurriedly held Brother Ninth Brother's hand: "Sir, the imperial doctor has already said that Fifth Brother's injury will be cured..."
Brother Jiu's palms were clammy, he shook it back fiercely, and gritted his teeth and said: "It's all my fault. You mentioned it twice yesterday, but I didn't even pay attention... But if Master Fan pays more attention and asks someone to check this bear carefully, it will be all right."
There will be no accident today..."
Shu Shu quickly advised: "You don't need to blame yourself. The key now is to find the real culprit! If we don't catch this person, even if we avoid bears, there will still be tigers, wolves, and poisonous snakes... Who knows what this bad guy is?"
It’s time to start again…”
Brother Jiu didn't feel comforted, but he also shifted his attention and said bitterly: "Once, twice, it's not over yet, right? Last time it was me, this time it's the boss, who are they going to plot against next time?"
?”
Brother Ninth's behavior indicates that he has identified himself as the enemy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Shu Shu didn't say anything. Regardless of whether the person behind the scenes was Suo'etu or not, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was definitely not clean.
Whether it's raising man-eating bears in the paddock or making honey twists in the dining room, this whole process has to go through the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Shu Shu even had some dark thoughts.
The reason why I chose honey as the bear's introduction was because it was less likely to be suspected, or was it because I had asked someone to fetch a few more jars of honey from the dining room a few days ago?
Whether it is honey black sesame pills or honey autumn pear paste, a large amount of honey is required.
He is a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' blacklist.
If you want to deal with yourself specifically, then that's not the case, but if you're just trying to kill rabbits, what's the point?
I'm afraid they would like to see it happen.
When I'm restless, time passes very slowly.
The imperial doctor is also guarding here, preparing medicines to clear away heat and reduce fever, just because he is afraid that the fifth elder brother will develop a high fever.
Such a large injury will often cause high fever.
But I don’t know if the alcohol played a role, but Brother Wu’s body temperature was still normal.
Before dusk, the tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother arrived.
It was the eldest brother who arranged for someone to deliver food here, so that when the two of them saw it, they insisted on following him.
When they saw the wounds on the fifth elder brother's face, both of them were frightened.
Is it a scratch or something like that? If the bear slaps it for real...
"This is too scary... I'd better keep less of these big guys in the future..."
Brother Thirteen said with a tongue-tied tongue.
The young man was naive and could not think of any conspiracy theories, so he thought it was an accident.
I began to reject this kind of "fraudulent" thing.
The tenth elder brother whispered to the ninth elder brother: "It's a blessing in disguise. Even if a man has scars, he is still brave. That is to say, the atmosphere in Beijing is bad now, and men have begun to learn to dress up... The founding kings,
Who among those who charged into battle was uninjured?"
Brother Ninth had always been close to him, and he didn't hide it from him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, I'm going to make a fuss this time. I don't want to be spoiled by these big men from the Ministry of Internal Affairs anymore..."
Brother Ten wanted to stop him when he opened his mouth.
It's not that I'm worried about the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but I feel that even if the Ministry of Internal Affairs is cleared, the real culprit may not be caught.
However, he still swallowed the words that blocked him, and only said: "Anyway, if you have any orders, Brother Ninth will speak up. My younger brother has the money to contribute and the strength to contribute..."
Concern leads to chaos.
If it were Brother Ninth who was injured this time, he wouldn't be able to calm down and vent.
Brother Jiu nodded: "Don't worry, I won't be polite to you..."
After saying that, he urged the two of them to go back: "Let's go quickly. We were going to hide the truth from the Queen Mother and the Empress, but you came out with all your troops. What else are you hiding?"
It is true that something happened to the fifth elder brother, so the guard camp did not dare to be careless.
So this time the Tenth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince came out, with fifty guards behind them.
Brother No. 10 nodded and said: "I'll go back now, don't worry if I don't take a look..."
The two elder brothers came and left in a hurry.
The administrative office returned to calm.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu were outside, looking at the food on the table and no one moved.
Brother Ninth has no appetite.
Shu Shu felt that she was using her brain too much, felt a little nauseous, and didn't want to eat.
After a while, there was another movement outside.
Brother Jiu stood up and said uneasily, "Isn't it the empress who is here?"
When the brothers saw the injury of the fifth elder brother, their hearts were cut into pieces. How could the mother-in-law bear it?
Shu Shu couldn't guess it, so he came out with Brother Jiu.
It’s not Concubine Yi who is here.
It was Kangxi who came in person.
He brought his eldest brother with him and came in a light carriage.
Seeing Shu Shu and Ninth Brother coming out, he paused and said, "How is Fifth Brother? Are you feeling hot?"
Brother Jiu replied: "Still asleep, no fever..."
Kangxi nodded, stepped lightly, and entered the inner room.
Wu Fujin was sitting by the bed, and when he saw this, he wanted to get up, but one of his hands was held by Wu's brother, so he could only stand next to the bed, feeling blessed.
Kangxi's eyes fell on the hands of the two men, and then he walked to the couch and carefully inspected the wounds of the fifth elder brother.
His face looked very ugly.
Just looking at the location of the wound, you can tell how dangerous it was at that time.
And this face...
Such a big wound will definitely leave a scar...
Kangxi stood for a long time, then reached out his hand and touched the fifth elder brother's forehead to make sure he didn't have high fever, then turned around and came out.
"Where's the black bear? Take me to see it!"
After leaving the house, Kangxi turned around and said to his eldest brother.
The eldest brother responded and led the group to the next door.
Under the bright lights, the black bear's body looked particularly hideous.
Its fatal wound was on its jaw.
However, there are also about a dozen holes, large and small, in the body.
Kangxi looked closer, his eyes rested on its chest, and he came to the conclusion: "This is a female bear in the period of giving birth!"
The eldest brother understood and said: "I see, I was still wondering if there was something else added to the honey that made the black bear go crazy... It turns out it's the birthing period..."
Brother Jiu was standing by, his head hanging down, and he took the initiative to apologize and told what happened yesterday.
Kangxi's face showed disappointment: "I don't care about what I should care about, and I don't care about what I should care about..."
Brother Jiu was extremely frustrated and said in a low voice: "My son is wrong..."
The eldest brother saw him at the side and said: "Khan Ama, no wonder Lao Jiu is in trouble. This is the royal paddock, and raising large animals does not take a year or two. How could he have thought that he could do something about it? That's right.
Sir, if I hadn’t encountered this in person, I would never have imagined that... the people behind the scenes are so sinister and vicious that they would use this method to harm people..."
Kangxi was noncommittal, looked at Shu Shu, and said: "I see that you are not timid. Why are you worried about a black bear jumping into a cage?"
When the eldest brother reported the matter in the afternoon, he did not conceal Shu Shu's contribution and talked about alcohol disinfection.
Shu Shu was also mentioned in Brother Jiu's narration just now.
Kangxi's mood was quite complicated.
If her knowledge were different from that of Lao Jiu, what would she have to worry about?
Shu Shu didn't say any illusory words like "murderous intent", but only said thoughtfully: "When my daughter-in-law was a child, she heard the guards at home talk about the horrors of wild beasts. As long as they eat people, they will be put on the hunting list.
...especially likes to eat women and children... The black bear's reaction yesterday was directed at his daughter-in-law and his thirteenth uncle. The daughter-in-law thought of this when she saw the beast for the first time..."
Kangxi fell into deep thought, nodded for a while, and said: "Shuntian Prefecture reported several incidents of wild beasts entering the village and hurting people. It is true that the victims were mainly women and children..."
