Chapter 148 Why bother, elder brother?
Yun Zhao sprinkled the medicinal powder on the wound, watching as the powder and blood blended together before pulling out the gold needle.
"The wound is a bit deep, so we'll apply some medicine powder first, without bandaging it."
Yun Zhao climbed down from the bedside, washed his hands, and then looked back at the officials.
"Please help remove those dirty cloths and replace them with some clean ones. Also,..."
"Bring me two long planks, yeah, that's right, help me make a screen to block this area!"
The little child arranged things in a very orderly manner.
After the others brought the screen and placed it between the chaise lounge and the bed, blocking the view from both sides, Yun Zhao finally spoke.
"Uncle, please help change Uncle's dirty clothes. Remember to keep his wound dry and clean!"
"Alright, come here, third brother, let me help you take off your clothes!"
Xu Yifei reached out to take off Xu Yiyan's clothes, which startled Xu Yiyan so much that she blushed.
"Big brother, I can do it myself!"
He still had that register hidden on him!
"Don't move around, be careful of your wound! What are you afraid of? What hasn't your older brother seen when you were a kid?"
Xu Yifei was strong and grabbed Xu Yiyan's hand, leaving him defenseless.
"Big brother!"
Xu Yifei stood up immediately and quickly stripped off the blood-stained clothes from his body!
Xu Yiyan was no match for his elder brother and could only let his elder brother strip him naked.
He blinked frantically, gesturing for him to look at the clothes.
Xu Yifei then discovered that there was a notebook hidden among Xu Yiyan's blood-stained clothes!
"Big brother!"
Xu Yiyan pouted and moved his body to try his best to block the notebook.
Xu Yifei knew that this notebook should not be seen by others, so he laughed it off and teased his younger brother.
Then, he used his imposing physique to block the officials' view and tucked the notebook into his sleeve.
"Hahaha, what are you afraid of? You're not a woman!"
He speaks without thinking, so his words inevitably lack tact.
"What, are you afraid Miss Lu will laugh at you?"
Xu Yiyan looked in Lu Xinnian's direction. Although the screen blocked his view, he could still hear her voice.
"Shh!"
Xu Yiyan felt like dying.
Seeing his uncle's carefree attitude, Yun Zhao quickly climbed onto his back.
"Hahaha, what are you afraid of? You and Miss Lu are bound together by life and death... mmm!"
Thank goodness!
Yun Zhao lay on his back and tightly covered his uncle's mouth.
Xu Yiyan finally felt at ease and lay back down, her ears already burning red.
"Brother, Miss Lu is a woman. Please stop talking nonsense. This is inappropriate!"
He said in a low voice.
Xu Yifei nodded, indicating that he understood.
Yun Zhao then released his grip.
"Alright, eldest uncle, could you help third uncle clean up the bloodstains?"
I'll bandage Sister Lu's wound first, and then I'll help Uncle San with his foot injury!
Like a little monkey, Yun Zhao climbed down from Xu Yifei's back and ran to the other side of the screen.
Seeing her approach, Lu Xinnian asked worriedly, "Is the Third Young Master alright?"
"Don't worry, Sister Lu, Zhaozhao's medical skills are quite good!"
Yun Zhao patted his small chest and proudly straightened his back.
Lu Xinnian's face turned a little pale, and she was immediately amused by her.
"Zhao Zhao is amazing!"
"Officer, please help me put these things down, and then you wait outside. Don't let anyone else in!"
Yun Zhao stood with his hands on his hips, giving the officers a stern warning.
After all, he was healing a woman's wounds, and if others saw it, it would damage Lu Xinnian's reputation!
"yes!"
The officials placed the basin of water and the clean cloth down and then quickly withdrew.
In the room, only the Xu brothers remained behind the screen.
"Don't be afraid, Sister Lu. My eldest uncle and third uncle are good people. They won't do anything reckless!"
Yun Zhao started taking things out of his small pocket again, and whispered to comfort Lu Xinnian.
"Don't be afraid, Sister Lu. It's all thanks to Zhao Zhao's third uncle, otherwise Sister Lu would have suffered much more than just this little injury!"
"Yes! Zhao Zhao knew it. Third Uncle is very capable. He even protected Sister Lu. Third Uncle is awesome!"
Yun Zhao started bragging about his uncle again, which made Xu Yiyan blush on the other side of the screen.
Lu Xinnian's injury wasn't serious, but it was still a sword wound, so Yun Zhao still prescribed medicine for her.
"Sister Lu, I'll have someone prepare your medicine. After you drink it, get a good night's sleep."
If you feel unwell anywhere, please tell me! Especially if you feel feverish or chilled, okay?
Yun Zhao packed his things and solemnly gave her some instructions.
"Okay, I understand."
Although Yun Zhao used acupuncture to relieve her pain, she had lost a lot of blood and was also frightened, so she was exhausted.
After thanking Yun Zhao, she fell into a deep sleep.
When Yun Zhao returned to the Xu brothers' place, he saw Xu Yifei flipping through a notebook.
"What is this?"
She curiously peeked out.
"Shh!"
Xu Yifei gestured for her to lower her voice.
"This is a roster!"
register?
Yun Zhao quickly went over.
"Could it be that those people killed Uncle and Sister Lu just because of this notebook?"
Xu Yiyan shook his head and said, "The assassin had no idea that this booklet existed."
He told them everything that had happened in the dark room.
Yun Zhao's heart sank.
"So they had planned to burn down the east wing all along, but you were the ones who blocked their way."
"I found it strange at the time that Miss Lu asked them to fetch oil to break the mechanism."
They returned shortly afterward carrying several buckets of oil, but they were all dressed in the uniforms of government officials.
For a moment, neither of us realized they were impersonating someone else.
Xu Yiyan lowered his eyes with a sense of guilt.
It's all his fault! He had dealt with the officials from Yangguan County before, yet he didn't recognize them all!
"Third Uncle, it's not your fault. There were so many officials, and they were all wearing the same clothes. How could anyone tell them apart?"
Yun Zhao quickly comforted him.
Even so, Xu Yiyan still blamed herself.
Seeing this, Yun Zhao winked at Xu Yifei, signaling him to take the opportunity to set Xu Yiyan's bones.
Xu Yifei was not a doctor after all, and under Yun Zhao's command, he suddenly twisted it.
"Ahh!"
Xu Yiyan screamed in pain, startling Lu Xinnian awake from her sleep.
"What happened?"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch! Big brother!"
Xu Yiyan instantly forgot all those messy emotions and started screaming in pain.
"Don't worry, Sister Lu. Third Uncle hurt his foot, and Eldest Uncle is helping him set his bones!"
Yun Zhao's tone was relaxed, which put Lu Xinnian at ease.
She seems so relaxed; nothing serious must have happened.
Looking at the sly expressions on his older brother's and niece's faces, Xu Yiyan understood perfectly well what was going on.
They did this on purpose, to prevent themselves from continuing to wallow in self-blame.
"Brother, why bother?"
Xu Yiyan couldn't bear to blame his little niece, so he could only look at his older brother with a wry smile.
"A real man can take things up and put them down!"
Xu Yifei patted his younger brother's leg, which made him cry out in pain.
Taking the opportunity, Yun Zhao tied him to a wooden board and instructed, "Third Uncle, don't move around."
This splint is to help immobilize your injured leg. I'll go get some medicine for you and Sister Lu.
She climbed off the bed, took two steps, and then turned back.
She lowered her voice and said, "Uncle, give me the notebook!"
"Zhaozhao, what do you need the notebook for? It's very important!"
Xu Yifei knew, of course, that his niece wouldn't do anything reckless, but he was also worried that she didn't understand the importance of the notebook.
He could only pull out the roster while giving a reminder.
