Chapter 80: Attending to the Sick
Li Yong couldn't dodge these attacks and could only hoarsely say in a somewhat morbid voice: "They called me brother before they died. I still remember the fear in their eyes when they died."
Su Nuobai looked at this man. These three meat buns could not be eaten and could only be fed to stray dogs.
Feng Zhi came with the yamen runners at this time, and they also arrested Li Yong's accomplices.
Su Nuobai lifted the spell that held him in place and watched him being taken away by the yamen runners. "Feng Zhi, give the three buns to the stray dog!"
After she finished speaking, she prepared to pack up her stall: "Everyone, go away!"
Feng Zhi took out three meat buns and fed them to a stray dog he met on the road: "Miss, don't you need to go find that child?"
"I don't know the child's birth date, nor do I have any personal belongings. The only reason I knew he ran away was because I could tell from Li Yong's face."
Su Nuobai had no way to find someone out of thin air, and it was hard to say where the child was hiding now.
"Master Su, Master Su."
Su Nuobai turned around and saw Wei Lixian running towards him from a distance, followed by a young couple with anxious faces.
"Lord Wei."
Wei Lixian walked in a hurry, his breathing unsteady: "You made it so hard for me to find you. When I went to the place where you set up your stall, they all said you were gone."
The young woman behind him had red and swollen eyes, obviously she had just cried.
Su Nuobai looked at the two of them and said, "Your child is lost."
Cui Han supported his wife and nodded quickly: "Master, Lord Wei said you can help us. We beg you. Zhi'er is only five years old and has been missing for almost two days."
Mrs. Cui was holding a toy in her hand and was a little unsteady on her feet. She couldn't help but burst into tears again: "Master, please, help us."
Su Nuobai looked at the two of them: "The child's birth date."
Cui Han was delighted and quickly told the child's birth date and time.
Su Nuobai counted with his fingers and had the answer in his mind: "Your child is fine now. Look for him in the haystacks to the south. That's where he is hiding."
She thought for a moment and asked, "Are there any things that children often use? Like clothes or something like that?"
Mrs. Cui immediately handed her a small cloth tiger in her hand: "Master, do you think this is okay? This is Zhier's favorite toy."
Su Nuobai reached out to take it and took out a folded paper crane from her bag.
The toy in her hand was already burning, and she drew a wisp of smoke from it and blew it into the paper crane.
The paper crane moved, flapped its wings from her palm, and flew in one direction.
"Follow it and you will find your children."
Cui Han and his wife didn't have time to wonder why the paper crane could fly. They hurriedly thanked him, "Master, we will reward you handsomely if we find the child."
After saying that, he hurriedly ran after the paper crane.
Wei Lixian also needed the child to testify: "Master Su, I will come to thank you after the case is over."
"Gurgle gurgle!" Su Nuobai's stomach made a disappointing sound.
Feng Zhi took out food from his bag and handed it to her.
Su Nuobai took the food from his hand with a smile and ate while walking. Even a simple steamed bun tasted like a delicacy to her.
Feng Zhi smiled and shook his head: "Miss, shall we go back home?"
"Go back. After dinner, we have to go to the Ministry of Justice in the afternoon." Su Nuobai and the other person walked leisurely towards the Su Mansion.
As soon as they returned to the room, they saw the paper man lying on the table with a look of despair on his face.
Su Nuobai looked at his own paper figurine and asked, "What happened?"
The paper figurine's eyes were filled with resentment: "Master, your father invited a teacher to his house today and said that he would teach you music, chess, calligraphy and painting starting tomorrow."
"Also, your mother said she was injured and wants Aunt Luo and you to go and take care of her."
Su Nuobai laughed: "She really is not afraid of me anymore. She even dares to let my mother and I go to take care of the sick."
"Should I go when you're not here?" The paper man frowned.
Su Nuobai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you go."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Feng Zhi and said, "I'm going to see my mother. Please bring me lunch back!"
Feng Zhi raised the corners of his lips, not knowing who was unlucky this time.
Su Nuobai came to Jinxiu Court and asked the maid to announce that she was there to take care of the patient.
When Aunt Zhang heard her coming, she limped out on a cane with a fake smile on her face: "Seventh Miss is here."
Su Nuobai came close to Aunt Zhang, tilted her head and looked left and right without saying a word.
Aunt Zhang felt a little uneasy when she looked at her: "Seven, Miss Seven, why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's nothing. I just saw that Madam Zhang hasn't been looking well lately, so it's better not to use surgery today." After saying this, Su Nuobai put his hands behind his back and ran towards Cai's yard.
There was no way that Nanny Zhang could catch up with him.
Cai’s waist is now injured and she can only lie on the bed and groan “ouch ouch”!
As soon as Su Nuobai came in, she came to her bedside and said, "Mother, you're seriously injured. It's okay. I'll heal you in a moment."
Cai saw her come in, and before she could react, she felt a sharp pain in her waist: "Ah!"
Nanny Zhang came in with a cane. She was not as quick as Su Nuobai. As soon as she entered the door, she heard Cai's screams, and she was so scared that she almost fell to the ground.
"Seventh Miss, what are you doing?"
Su Nuobai blinked innocently: "In the past, anyone who had a back injury in the village would massage it like this. Don't worry, mother, I will take good care of you."
After she said that, she pressed on Cai's waist again.
Cai was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat: "Get out, get out!"
Su Nuobai stood helplessly beside the bed, lowering her head and fiddling with the hem of her clothes with her fingers, her face full of grievance: "Didn't mother ask someone to notify her daughter to come and take care of the patient?"
"My daughter hopes her mother will get better soon. This is how everyone in the village treats her."
Cai originally wanted to torture Aunt Luo and this dead girl, but she didn't expect that before she could do anything, she was almost killed by her.
"I don't need you and your aunt to take care of me anymore. Go away."
Tears welled up in Su Nuobai's eyes. "Mother, sisters, and the others are all away. If they knew I didn't take care of you, they would probably blame me."
Cai gnashed her teeth and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but you've been living outside the palace since you were a child. Let Madam Zhang and the others take care of you!"
Su Nuobai looked at Aunt Zhang who was leaning on a cane: "But Aunt Zhang is also injured."
Cai: "Madam Zhang is the only available person in my courtyard. Didn't your father find a teacher for you? You should go back and prepare well, and study with the teacher tomorrow."
Su Nuobai pouted: "You must learn! Those things are so difficult."
"You must learn this. This is something all ladies from wealthy families must learn. Be obedient and go back to Qinxin Garden."
Su Nuobai kept looking back, reluctantly looking at Cai on the bed: "Mother, then you should have a good rest. I will come to see you another day."
"No need to come." When Cai said this, her voice became a little louder.
