Chapter 37 I'm afraid there's something wrong here
As soon as Green Willow and Fangcao left, Li Yaoguang held her shivering little cousin in her arms and turned back to comfort her aunt. Just as she opened her mouth, she heard low moans coming from the master bedroom. One after another, sounding weak and so low that if it weren't for her good hearing, she would have almost missed it.
Li Yaoguang quickly grabbed her aunt and said excitedly: "Aunt, listen, is it my uncle calling you?"
Yu Meixue paused, and then no longer cared about her son and ran towards the house she had just come out of, with Li Yaoguang following closely.
As the door curtain was lifted, a bloody smell wafted to her face. The sound she had just heard became clearer. Li Yaoguang, who followed her in with her little cousin in her arms, couldn't help but look at the big kang by the window. Li Yaoguang was shocked.
The man lying on the kang had a swollen nose and face, his face was as pale as gold paper, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his temples, his mouth was opening and closing. He was so unrecognizable that she almost couldn't recognize him. Who else could it be but her own uncle.
"Uncle, who made you like this?"
Her uncle's miserable appearance made her feel an unprecedented anger in her chest. This was a surge of emotion that she had never experienced before when she failed to find a job and was repeatedly rejected and driven away.
The man on the kang was in great pain and felt very weak. When he saw that his wife, children and niece were all fine, he forced a smile on his pale face and nodded slightly, actually trying to comfort them.
“Hoo, hoo, I, I’m fine, Guang, Guang sister, don’t be afraid, let, ask your aunt, aunt not to cry, don’t, don’t worry, I, I just, just some minor skin injuries, just minor skin injuries…”
Even though people were in such a state, the first thing he thought of was to comfort them. This made Li Yaoguang feel uncomfortable. How could Yu Meixue bear it? She threw herself on the kang, carefully avoiding her husband's body, and lay beside his ear, crying and heartbroken.
"What do you mean it's just a superficial wound, Su Lang, wuwuwu... If it weren't for Second Young Master Lu's kindness in sending his confidant to escort you home today, Yang'er, Guang'er and I would have been afraid that we wouldn't have seen you again. You still hid this from me and even said it was a trivial matter, wuwuwu..."
Seeing that his uncle's mouth was dry and cracked, Li Yaoguang, who had just put the little guy down and settled him on his side, was busy preparing warm water at the table in the room. When he heard the sound, his hand holding the teapot paused and he turned back to look anxiously at his aunt.
"Aunt, who is the Second Young Master Lu you mentioned? Does he have anything to do with my uncle's injury?"
When Yu Meixue saw her niece asking, she did not doubt it. She wiped her tears, stopped gently and carefully wiping the sweat off her husband, and replied.
"It was Second Young Master Lu Fang from the Cheng'en Mansion. I don't know the details, but it was Second Young Master Lu's personal servant who brought people to carry your uncle back when it got dark. He didn't say anything else. When I asked him, he just introduced himself and left. I was so flustered at the time that I only cared about your uncle. I didn't even think about Yang'er..."
It turns out to be him!
"Okay, auntie, I know everything."
She also knew what her aunt was feeling guilty about, so she couldn't help but comfort her.
"Aunt, please don't blame yourself. You didn't want something like this to happen. Besides, our Yang'er was so young, but he remained calm in the face of danger. At the critical moment, he knew to bribe the gatekeeper with money and go outside to ask me for help. He hid well and didn't run around. He waited for me to come home. Who can have such a smart child? We are so lucky."
At a time like this, the most important thing is not useless emotions such as tension, worry, and self-blame. Li Yaoguang also felt sorry for his younger cousin and aunt, so he tried to coax them in various ways.
Hearing such consolation, Yu Meixue looked at her son who had been clinging to her niece since he entered the room, tugging at her clothes and following her wherever she went. A smile appeared on Yu Meixue's face, and Cheng Su on the kang also tried to put on a smile that was uglier than crying to comfort his wife. "Yes, Guang, Guangjie said, it's right, you are all good, Meixue, your husband is fine, Yang'er is also very good, Guangjie is the best, the past is the past, don't, don't think about it..."
As for the question that his relatives kept asking about, who had hurt him so terribly, he didn't mention a single word.
Li Yaoguang, who came back with the prepared warm water, knew very well that his uncle seemed to have no intention of revealing the details of his injury.
But it's okay, don't we still have Mr. Lu Fang? I will find out tomorrow under the pretext of thanking him and I'll know. Anyway, ever since Journey to the West ended and I started performing The Return of the Condor Heroes at Weimeilou, this guy has been coming to support me every day, so I don't have to worry about not getting enough people.
"Aunt, my uncle's lips are dry, please give him some water."
When Yu Meixue saw the cup handed over by Li Yaoguang and then looked at her husband's expression, she was very annoyed at her own carelessness. She agreed, took the cup, sat on the edge of the kang and was about to help the man up to give him water, but Li Yaoguang hurriedly stopped her when she saw this.
"Don't! Auntie, my uncle can't move. Be careful not to get hurt even more."
She didn't know any medical knowledge, but she knew that for such injured patients, family members should not act rashly before the doctor arrived, and should be careful of internal injuries or secondary injuries.
There was nothing we could do when the person ahead sent the message and I was not there. But now that she is here, we must avoid it if possible.
After getting the hint, Yu Meixue dared not move. Under Li Yaoguang's instruction, the aunt and nephew got busy. One of them found the silver spoon used by Yang Ge'er, and the other carefully held her husband's head, and then they fed him a cup of warm water spoon by spoon.
Just when Li Yaoguang was getting anxious about why the doctor hadn't come yet and Fangcaolvliu hadn't even boiled a pot of hot water, finally, hurried footsteps were heard outside Green Garden, and someone arrived.
That’s right, after all, it was a horse-drawn carriage, and Fusheng was particularly attentive, so naturally he came quickly.
Li Yaoguang received the report from Xiu Jie'er outside and hurried out to greet her.
The old doctor who was hurriedly called over saw Li Yaoguang. Although she was dressed like a boy, he recognized her.
He thought to himself, it must be this little girl, but he was also surprised that the little girl was from the Zhenwei Marquis Mansion. Then he thought of what the little girl said when she came to see the doctor, and made another association... The old doctor sighed at the secrets of these wealthy families, but did not say much. He asked where the patient was as soon as he entered the door.
Li Yaoguang did not dare to delay any longer and led people inside. Fearing that his aunt would be too worried, he found an excuse to send his aunt away and asked her to take Yang'er downstairs to find some fragrant grass and green willows and bring hot water in case the doctor needed it.
Xiu Jie'er, who was standing by, saw that Lv Yuan was so busy that she had no time to take care of herself. She didn't dare to ask for money at this time. She was even more afraid that something might happen at Lv Yuan tonight and she would be implicated. So she hurried back to the corner gate.
After everyone left, only the calm Li Yaoguang was left. The old doctor first looked at Li Yaoguang with approval, and then without delay, he asked Li Yaoguang to use the only hot water left in the room to pour into a copper basin and brought it to him to wash his hands. He then asked for the medical boy to come and began to treat him without stopping.
