Chapter 16 Injured
While I was thinking about it, I heard Zhang crying.
"Song'er! Song'er!"
Ruan Mian came back to his senses instantly and thought to himself that something was wrong.
When she returned to the team, she found that Ruan Qingsong had fainted due to excessive blood loss.
Seeing the entire arm soaked in blood, Zhang and the eldest sister were at a loss.
Ruan Mian immediately asked them to carry the person to the flat grass and poured all the water in the water bag into the basin.
At this moment, the officers had all gone to look for other people, and the team had to stay where they were to rest.
Ruan Mian dismissed the people around her and left Cuizhu alone to take care of the wound. She first cut her sleeves to reveal the dirty wound, and motioned Cuizhu to wash it with clean water.
She went to an uninhabited forest under the pretext of looking for medicinal herbs, stroked the emerald jade bracelet, and entered the space.
Without time to think about it, I took the medicine bottle and some clean muslin and walked back.
Cuizhu was already crying uncontrollably at this moment. Looking at Ruan Qingsong's pale face, her voice was trembling.
"Young Master, he's lost so much blood. What should we do? We don't have a doctor here..."
She was worried that Ruan Qingsong was doomed and cried until her eyes were swollen.
Ruan Mian patted her shoulder: "I brought medicine, don't panic."
I saw her skillfully treating the wound, sprinkling medicine powder on it and then bandaging it with fine cloth.
When Cuizhu saw that the fine cloth was indeed not stained with blood, her face was overjoyed and she quickly wiped away her tears: "It's not bleeding anymore? It really isn't bleeding anymore!"
Ruan Mian wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled faintly: "Don't worry about it now."
At the same time, several strong men rode their horses at full speed to the inn less than twenty miles away.
The man in the lead was the strong man who saved Ruan Mian and the others.
He strode in and came to the superior room of the inn, and saluted respectfully with his fists clasped behind the screen.
"Sir, Madam Ruan and the others have escaped. The group of beggars who caused the trouble have been arrested. Under torture, they confessed that someone had bribed them to deliberately target the Ruan family."
"Fortunately, the situation has calmed down. Although Master Ruan was seriously injured, Madam Ruan seemed to have medical skills and was able to save him."
As soon as the words fell, the pair of bony hands behind the screen gently put down the cup and said in a low voice: "Medical skills?"
"That's right. Young Master Ruan was stabbed and lost a lot of blood. I was thinking about whether I should save his life, but Madam Ruan is knowledgeable in medicine. Cleaning, bandaging, and applying medicine are no problem for her. Moreover, the medicine Madam Ruan brought is quite effective, comparable to our heavy wound ointment."
During the silence, the strong man added, "Um... Sir, there is one more thing. Before I left, Madam Ruan asked me to tell you that she has remembered your kindness today."
The Prime Minister chuckled and continued to sip his tea.
It seems that I underestimated her?
"You don't have to follow me anymore,"
Besides, she didn't need to do anything extra.
On the other side, Ruan Qingsong slowly regained consciousness shortly after the bleeding stopped.
During this time, Ruan Mian cooked some more soup.
Seeing that he was getting better, the other members of the Ruan family finally felt relieved.
At this moment, those who had run away were found one after another by the officials, but after counting the number of people, they found that the eldest daughter of the Qi Mansion was missing.
The officer immediately became angry and arrested Liu and the others for interrogation!
"Where's your daughter?! Does she dare to escape?"
Liu's face paled, tears streaming down her face. Terrified, she kowtowed and begged for help: "Sir, Sir, please be discerning! My daughter Linlin is just a girl, how could she have the guts to run away! It was so chaotic just now, it must be... something big must have happened!"
Thinking of this, Liu couldn't remain calm anymore and cried out anxiously, "Sir, please save my daughter! Please help me find her! Was she taken away by those men? She must have been taken away by them!"
The officer kicked him furiously and said, "Those heroes clearly saved us, how could they kidnap your daughter? You bastards! Your daughter must have taken the opportunity to escape!"
Then he called over a few other officers and said, "Search the area! A woman like her can't get far. Find her and bring her back for a beating!"
After giving the explanation, he ordered his men to tie up all the people in the Qi Mansion. Amidst the Liu family's begging for mercy, the officers were certain that they knew about Qi Lin's escape, so they whipped them and tortured them severely. They would keep beating them unless they revealed their whereabouts.
For a time, there was widespread grief...
But because of Qi Lin's disappearance, the team had to stay overnight. Seeing that it was getting dark, they simply found a place to lie down nearby and made preparations in advance.
The group of officials stopped only when everyone in the Qi Mansion was beaten to a pulp and still couldn't figure out what had happened.
"It seems we really don't know where that bitch ran off to. Where are the people who went to search? Any news?"
"Boss, not yet."
The officer cracked his whip and decided to have dinner first.
Naturally, the people in the Qi Mansion had nothing to eat.
The most unlucky one among them was Qi Nanfeng.
He had already been beaten so that both legs were injured, and now he was beaten again. The wounds opened up and he fell down, breaking his leg bones.
Liu was even more distressed now. She hugged him with a look of embarrassment on her face: "Son, you must hold on! You can't die!"
Qi Nanfeng endured the pain and angrily grabbed Liu's sleeve: "I'm not going to die yet! Stop crying!"
Liu quickly wiped her tears and said, "That's good. It's good that you're not going to die."
Qi Nanfeng held on for a breath and said, "Since Ruan Mian was able to heal his brother's injury, he should be able to heal mine too. Mother, please go and ask her to come and heal me!"
Liu was stunned when she heard this: "Me? How can I say it? How can that whore pity you? She might even..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Nanfeng took out a wooden hairpin.
"Take this in exchange."
Liu quickly wiped away her tears and looked at the wooden hairpin carefully. Suddenly she remembered something and her face showed joy.
"I'll bring her over right away! Son, just bear with it for a while."
At the same time, Ruan Qingsong discovered that Mianmian's thick coat was gone and she was only wearing a thin layer.
So he quickly took off his coat and handed it over: "Did those beggars just steal your thick coat?"
Ruan Mian was stunned. For some reason, her nose felt sore.
She calmed down and glanced at the people around her. Because the group of arrogant beggars came up and robbed without any care, some people in the mansion had their clothes and bags gone.
The temperature dropped sharply after nightfall. Even though Ruan Mian had warm items such as mattresses in the space, he had no suitable reason to take them out.
She had no choice but to bear it for the time being. After patting her brother's arm, she immediately called others to pick up some firewood nearby. She then built a fire in the middle, which would keep her warm.
Ruan Qingsong was injured and weak, so no matter how cold it was, he wouldn't be chilled.
So Ruan Mian returned the blouse without hesitation: "Brother, I'm not cold, but you are injured now."
Seeing this, his eyes darkened slightly, and he tightened his tunic to prevent Ruan Mian from taking it off again: "You are a girl, and I, a grown man, am afraid of this little bit of cold! Be obedient, your brother will not die without this tunic."
