Chapter 64 There is salvation
At the beginning, the hostess that Bishui Hua Ting should have welcomed was Yan Xisui, but unexpectedly, she got the upper hand.
Xu Qingsui didn't know whether this coincidence was his luck or misfortune.
"Aunt Wang, where do you think Mr. Huo has gone?" After not being able to contact him for several days, Xu Qingsui began to worry.
"Mr. Huo will be fine. He told me to take good care of you and said he had something difficult to do and would be back soon." Aunt Wang was also worried, but she still acted as if she was relieved to comfort Xu Qingsui.
"Xu girl, they're saved, they're saved, they're back!" Zhang Maocai pushed open the ward door happily and heard the voices before he saw the people.
"Grandpa Zhang." Xu Qingsui saw Zhang Maocai running in, followed by Zhou Jing, who had not been seen for many days.
Xu Qingsui was really shocked when he saw Zhou Jing's appearance. The old man who looked like an immortal when they first met was now in tattered clothes and covered in mud. His white hair was dirty and messy. Upon closer observation, he seemed to have lost weight.
"Grandpa Zhou, what's wrong with you?" Xu Qingsui asked worriedly.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm going to the mountains to collect herbs. Your leg injury can be cured. I guarantee you'll be able to walk within ten days!" Zhou Jing excitedly took out the medicine he had prepared.
It has been crushed and boiled into a black paste, which looks very much like a dog-skin plaster.
Zhou Jing carefully removed the gauze on Xu Qingsui's leg, cleaned the medicine residue stuck on it with disinfectant alcohol, then heated the paste with hot water. After it melted, he touched it with his hand to make sure the temperature would not burn the skin. He then applied it to Xu Qingsui's injured area and fixed his leg in the ancient way.
"Okay, change this medicine every three days. I've prepared a month's supply for you. After you've applied all of it, I believe you'll be almost fully recovered!" Zhou Jing placed a large bag of plasters on the cabinet, and then instructed her on how to use the medicine: "Remember to heat it to melt each time you use it, test the temperature with your hand, then apply it and fix your leg with a board. Don't move it around during normal times to prevent the bones from getting dislocated, otherwise it will be troublesome..."
Xu Qingsui took Zhou Jing's words to heart.
She was so moved that her eyes became moist. Looking at Zhou Jing's miserable appearance, she realized that it was caused by him while collecting herbs in the mountains.
Thinking about how an old man like him had to go into the mountains and suffer at such an old age, Xu Qingsui felt very sad: "Thank you, Grandpa Zhou. You and I just met by chance, but you are willing to do this for me. I really don't know how to thank you."
Zhou Jing listened to Xu Qingsui's polite words and waved his hand: "Don't be polite, didn't we agree on this before? Your grandfather and I are old friends, and you are his granddaughter, which is equivalent to my granddaughter. It is only natural for me to treat my granddaughter better. As long as you can get better soon, it will be worth it for Grandpa Zhou to pay more!"
After saying that, his expression did not fall, he sighed, hesitated for a moment and continued: "What's more, the person you really have to thank this time should not be me."
Xu Qingsui asked doubtfully: "Then who should I really thank?"
Zhou Jing hesitated and said nothing, as if he had something to hide.
Zhang Maocai, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch this and said anxiously, "Hey, Lao Zhou, just tell me, they are husband and wife, and Xu girl has the right to know!"
Zhou Jing was so angry at Zhang Maocai's urging that he simply said, "It was your husband Huo Xilin. He followed me into the mountains and was bitten by a poisonous snake. He almost lost his life. Although I saved him, he still has sequelae and needs to sleep for a week before he can recover. He lives next door to you now. You can go see him when it's convenient for you."
"What?" Xu Qingsui's eyes darkened after hearing this. The last time she was so anxious was because of the news that her brother was hospitalized. She didn't know when Huo Xilin had occupied a very important position in her heart.
Xu Qingsui was so anxious that she pulled back the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but fortunately the two old men stopped her.
Zhou Jing explained: "Don't worry, the poison has been resolved. He won't be in danger of death. It's just that the remaining poison will cause him to sleep for more than ten hours a day. Once the remaining poison dissipates, he will be fine."
Xu Qingsui gradually calmed down, and she was finally relieved to hear that his life was not in danger.
"Don't be impulsive. Let someone help you over. Your legs are not yet able to touch the ground." Zhou Jing advised.
"Thank you, Grandpa Zhou. I'm sorry for making you worry." Xu Qingsui called Aunt Wang over and helped her to the next ward.
At this time, Huo Xilin was lying quietly on the hospital bed with his eyes closed. His face was slightly pale, his lips were black and blue, and he had lost a lot of weight. He no longer had the vigor and vitality he once had.
Xu Qingsui's heart ached. It turned out that the reason he couldn't contact her these days was because he and Grandpa Zhou went into the mountains to collect herbs for her.
Who is he? He is a young master who has been respected and prized since childhood. It is not his right to do such a dangerous thing as going into the mountains.
What's more, he was rich and powerful. He only needed to give a call and countless people would clear the way for him. He didn't need to go into the mountains to collect herbs in person. He could just spend money to do it, but he went anyway.
She almost lost her life for her legs!
She held Huo Xilin's bony fingers tightly, just as he had held hers many times before.
Tears fell from her eyes unconsciously and dripped onto the back of Huo Xilin's hand.
Huo Xilin seemed to sense something, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
When he saw Xu Qingsui for the first time, he showed undisguised surprise in his eyes, and then he became nervous: "Xiaosui, why are you here?"
Spikelet?
Xu Qingsui was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.
I haven't heard this name for a long time. I remember the first time I heard it was on the night of their first time. He fell asleep on her shoulder and called it out in a daze in his sleep.
This is the second time. It turns out that the person in his heart has always been Yan Xisui.
Xu Qingsui gave a bitter smile: "I'll go find Miss Yan for you."
I guess the person he wants to see most right now must be Yan Xisui.
Although Xu Qingsui's heart ached, her mind was still clear. Huo Xilin had done her a favor, and she had nothing to give in return.
So her only wish was that he could be happy, and for that, she was willing to do anything.
Even though she didn't like Yan Xisui at all.
Just as Xu Qingsui was about to turn around and leave, Huo Xilin grabbed her with his gentle hands: "Xu Qingsui, the person I just called was you."
Xu Qingsui's body froze and he stood there in a daze, not being able to believe his ears.
Was she the person Huo Xilin was calling?
Is his name Xiaosui, not Xiaosui?
