"Pah, pah, pah" There was a series of knocks on the door at night. Two dogs in the yard were barking. Cao Xiangnan, who was just about to go to bed, heard the sound and opened the door and walked out. He asked in a bad tone, "Who is outside?"
"Fourth brother, it's me." It was Cao Laowu, his fifth brother Cao Gaojin.
Cao Xiangnan frowned. It must be bad news for someone to come to him at night. He had just been to the compound during the day. Wang Yan was beaten by Cao Laoer and lay on the bed. It was obvious that someone came to find him. Something happened between Cao Laoer and Wang Yan.
After asking, it turned out to be true.
It turned out that Cao Laoer came back in the middle of the night and beat someone again. Wang Yan was unconscious. The people in the compound must be anxious and came to find him to deal with the problem.
Why doesn't Cao Laoer get up and die! After hearing what Cao Gaojin said, Cao Xiangnan even wanted to slap Cao Laoer to death. He turned around and said to Uncle Liu behind him, "Go and ask Liu Yuan to prepare a carriage."
Liu Guizhong, who followed him, also heard what the master said, and hurriedly said, "Yes, I'll go now." Then he went back to find his eldest son.
"You wait here, I'll go in and put on some clothes and come out with you." Cao Xiangnan didn't even let anyone in, and shouted at the two dogs. The two dogs wagged their tails and squatted at the door, staring at the people at the door with two pairs of green eyes.
"..." Cao Gaojin.
If it weren't for his father asking him to come to find his fourth brother, Cao Gaojin wouldn't want to come. He was asked to get up from the quilt in the middle of the night to run errands. How could it be more comfortable to sleep with his wife in the quilt. But he didn't want to worry about the bad luck if Wang Yan was really beaten to death by his second brother in the house. He had to go to his fourth brother's place in the middle of the night, knowing that his fourth brother had a carriage so that he could go to the town to ask for a doctor.
After returning to the house and saying something to Wanfeng, Cao Xiangnan hurriedly put on his clothes and went out. Liu Yuan was also waiting outside with the carriage.
"Let's go!"
The carriage went to the courtyard. When he went there, Wang Yan was still unconscious. Cao Xiangnan asked his eldest brother to help carry Wang Yan to the carriage. He walked over with a cold face and kicked Cao Laoer, who was sitting on a stool, and directly kicked him to the ground.
Cao Laoer, who fell to the ground, was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
Seeing this, Chen Zhu screamed and rushed over in a hurry, "Ah, Fourth Brother, what are you doing? Why are you hitting your second brother!"
Cao Xiangnan glanced at the mother who rushed over. With just one look, Chen Zhu's mother didn't dare to move. He was frightened by that look. Looking down at Cao Laoer, Cao Xiangnan's eyes revealed contempt for his second brother, and he cursed, "Cao Laoer, you are really a piece of shit!"
Cao Laoer, who was kicked to the ground, didn't dare to make a sound, and dared not speak out.
His eldest brother followed him, and the two got on the carriage together. Cao Xiangnan asked Liu Yuan, who was hurrying, to hurry up and drive away.
Seeing the carriage leave, Cao Adie, who was standing at the door, had a sullen face. He grabbed the stick at the door and went in to beat the evil son, beating him to the ground and making him cry. The children in the house saw him standing there crying. The little boy who was protected by Wang Yan like an eyeball was no longer around, so no one cared about him.
"Beat him to death, beat him to death... Boss, stop it, why are you hitting Erlang?" Chen Zhu, the aunt, saw the boss beating Erlang and cried beside him, unable to squeeze out a single tear.
"Ahhh... Daddy, stop beating me... Ahhhh, it hurts so much..." Cao Laoer cried out in a
hoarse voice. Cao Laoer was a man who had never done any work all day long. He was really not as strong as his father. He could not even run away except for being beaten. Cao's father worked in the fields every day. He was quite strong. In addition, he was angry, so he really used some force with the stick. He grabbed the stick and beat him.
"Pa!" After beating his son, Cao Ashan threw away the stick in his hand. This father who had never beaten his children really wanted to beat this kid to death at this moment.
Cao Laoer, who was rolling on the ground, was frightened and stuttered for a moment, and even forgot to roll.
Cao Adie turned around and went back to the house, sitting in the main hall waiting for the people who went out to come back.
Chen Zhu, who was still outside, trembled and helped his Erlang up. The crying Xiaoer was pulled back by his brother. The older children were also sensible, and the Cao family compound became quiet. Cao Laowu took a look and saw that there was nothing for him to do, so he went back to his own room. Zhao Xue was taking care of the children in the house and didn't even go out. When she saw her husband coming back, she complained. Cao Laowu hugged his wife and went to bed.
Chen Li glanced at her husband who had left, waved to the child who had run out to go back to sleep, and then she went back to the house, closed the door and went back to bed, not knowing whether her husband would come back today.
At night, the people living nearby who heard the noise from the Cao family compound were very curious about what happened in the Cao family compound that night, and they were all guessing in their hearts. However, it was getting late, and they had to get up and work the next day, so it was better to go to bed first and ask around tomorrow.
The carriage took people to the Luo family clinic in the town. Cao Xiangnan knocked on the door of the Luo family compound in the middle of the night and told the little servant who opened the door that he was looking for Dr. Luo. Fortunately, he often came to the Luo family compound and was familiar with the servants in the compound. The servant who opened the door went in and asked Dr. Luo to come out.
When Mr. Luo saw the boy sent by Cao Xiangnan again, he was so angry that he could not help but feel angry. He had just seen him in the daytime, and he sent him another one at night! Seeing that the man was unconscious, he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and carry him to the bed in the room."
The light in the room was turned on. Mr. Luo took the pulse, took the silver needle and gave the man acupuncture. He wrote a list and asked the boy to get and boil the medicine.
Luo Ronghuan, who heard the noise, came over to see what happened. Seeing that it was Cao Xiangnan, he glanced at the boy on the bed and asked him what was wrong. Cao Xiangnan could only smile bitterly and did not say anything. He went out of the room with Luo Ronghuan. The two stood together and talked for a few words.
"Yes, Xiangnan, you asked me to find medicine last time, and I asked someone to go to the south to find it. I don't know if it is the medicine you mentioned. Come and have a look." Luo Ronghuan remembered the medicine that the kid told him about. The person who came back from the south found it for him, and he didn't know if it was the medicine that the kid mentioned.
He wanted to find the kid to have a look, but he forgot about it because he was busy these days. He didn't expect that the kid would come to him in the middle of the night.
"Oh, where is it? Let's go and have a look." Cao Xiangnan said hurriedly when he heard it.
He told Luo Ronghuan about Panax notoginseng, which can be used to disperse blood stasis and stop bleeding, reduce swelling and relieve pain, and is a good medicine for treating internal and external injuries. However, this medicine grows in the south, so he has to send someone to the south to find it. It just so happened that Luo Ronghuan had been a drug dealer for many years, traveling all over the country, and knew many people who made medicinal materials and farmers. Even if he was not doing business now, he could ask someone he knew to look for it.
If it was Tian that was found, it would be great, as it would be very useful.
After instructing his elder brother to stay here and watch, Cao Xiangnan went to look at the medicine with Luo Ronghuan.
Cao Fugui, who was waiting in the house, took a look and didn't know that his fourth brother had such a good relationship with the doctor in town. He stayed in the house and waited. Seeing his second brother who had not woken up after the injection, he felt a little uneasy, afraid that something had happened to him.
Following Luo Ronghuan, he turned around and turned to the backyard. He pushed open the door of a room and saw a room full of medicinal materials. Cao Xiangnan looked at the medicinal materials in the room and was amazed. Luo Ronghuan really deserved to be a drug dealer.
Most of the things here were unfamiliar to him, and he was not interested after taking a look.
"Here." Luo Ronghuan rummaged through it and found the thing, and asked, "Is this what you asked me to find?"
Cao Xiangnan took it and looked at it, put it under his nose and smelled it, and a smile appeared on his face. He was too familiar with this smell, and it was hard to forget it. He nodded to Luo Ronghuan who was looking at him, and said, "Yes, this is the Tianqi I mentioned." Seeing the smile
on Cao Xiangnan's face, Luo Ronghuan knew that he had found the right thing.
When the two of them went out together, Luo Lao also pulled out the needles after giving the person acupuncture and packed up the things.
"This kid won't wake up until tomorrow at the earliest." Old Luo stood up, took the handkerchief and wiped his hands, looked at the boy Nan who came in with his son Rong Heng, and said, "It's best not to move him, just stay with me first."
Upon hearing what Old Doctor Luo said, Cao Xiangnan knew that the kid was fine, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed here, but would have asked him to take him back to prepare for his funeral. It's not a good thing to knock on someone's door in the middle of the night and send a patient to someone's home.
Even doctors have to sleep in the middle of the night, and he felt a little guilty.
"If you want this kid to live a few more days, don't torture him like this. If you keep doing this, he'll die sooner or later." Old Doctor Luo is a caring person, and he feels sorry for the kid, so he said with a sullen face.
"Well, I got it." Cao Xiangnan looked at Wang Yan who had not woken up yet, nodded and said.
After giving a few instructions, Luo Lao went back to his room to rest.
"Brother, you should go back and rest too. I'll have a drink with you when I'm free. It's been a long time since I had a drink with you. I have a lot of good wine." Cao Xiangnan said to Luo Rongheng who was still here. Luo Rongheng responded with a "yes", and the two agreed to have a drink together when they were free. He told the servants to come and help if there was anything.
The two of them had a good relationship after going back and forth, and Luo Rongheng was willing to help him with this little favor. Now that he was sure that the medicine was what the kid said, he was very happy in his heart, and he was already thinking about asking someone to get more back.
The only ones left in the house were Cao Xiangnan, his eldest brother, and the boy who followed him.
"Fourth brother, you go back first. Big brother can stay here to take care of the second brother." said Cao.
Cao Xiangnan thought about it and realized that it was pointless for him to stay here. If he went out in the middle of the night, people at home might not sleep and wait for him to come back. He hummed. When he went out, he met a servant who came with medicine. He stuffed a piece of silver into the servant.
The servant knew what to do and said, "Don't worry, Master Cao. If there is anything here, I will help take care of it."
Then he went back with peace of mind.
