The three Su brothers looked at Xiao Jinhan and their eyes lit up.
"Brother Jinhan, my mother was just saying yesterday that she hadn't seen you come to our house for dinner in a long time. Turns out, you've come to the county too. Our spicy hot pot just sold out, and we're going back to Shanghe Village soon. Would you like to come with us, Brother Jinhan?"
Xiao Jinhan nodded to Su Sanhu as a greeting.
He then turned his gaze to Su Hua beside the oxcart and said succinctly, "I still have some business to attend to in the county today, and I would like to ask Miss Su for a favor."
"Get things done? What is it?" Su Sanhu was a little stunned.
Su Hua's heart skipped a beat as she listened to Xiao Jinhan's vague words.
Nine times out of ten, something must have happened to Su Sui.
Without thinking twice, she quickly jumped off the oxcart. "Brother, you go to West Street first, buy your things and go straight home. Don't wait for me. I'll go back with Young Master Xiao later!"
Without wasting words, Xiao Jinhan put his arm around Su Hua's shoulder, touched the wall of the alley with his toes, and soared upwards.
With a few leaps, it completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
Su Sanhu's eyes lit up as he stared at the empty rooftop and swallowed hard. "Brother Jinhan, he really can fly! Is this what they call 'lightness skill' on the stage? He flew away like a giant bird in an instant. That's amazing!"
He couldn't help but lower his head and secretly glance at his feet.
Both are feet, but if he were to step on a wall, he would probably end up upside down!
Su Erhu curled his lip, his tone laced with sarcasm, "How can a bird compare to him? He can carry a person while flying, can a bird do that?"
Ever since Hua'er turned three, her mother said that men and women should not touch each other, and never let him hold Hua'er again.
Once, he secretly took Hua'er to ride a big ox, and his mother beat him up by sweeping around the village with a broom.
But now, there are grown men outside who can actually hold Hua'er.
Just thinking about it makes me feel sour.
"Alright, enough of this nonsense. Let's hurry to the market, or there won't be anything left." Su Dahu glared at his two younger brothers, but his mind was racing. Hua'er and Xiao Jinhan's secretive behavior suggested they were hiding something.
At the same time, Su Hua was held in Xiao Jinhan's arms, the wind whistling past her ears.
But she was completely unaware of it, only hearing her own trembling voice, "Has something happened to my older sister?"
The man glanced up at the girl, his hand that was shielding her from the wind tightening slightly. He said in a low voice, "Old Wang tried to take advantage of Su Sui this afternoon. She hit her head against the wall and is in bad shape now."
"Bump into a wall?" Su Hua only heard the last sentence before tears started falling.
My throat feels dry, like something is stuck there.
His lips moved open and closed for a long time, "Not good? What do you mean by not good?"
Xiao Jinhan felt a pang of pity. "She has a lot of blood on her forehead and has fainted. I sent someone to fetch the best doctor in Qingshui County, and he should have arrived by now."
He originally intended to talk to Su Sui after the doctor cured her.
However, Su Sui's situation is not optimistic. If something were to happen to Su Sui, given her personality, she would probably never be able to get over it for the rest of her life.
Moreover, he subconsciously trusted her medical skills more.
"Fainted?" Su Hua murmured, her hands clenched white in her wide sleeves as she tried to comfort herself, "It's good that she's not dead. As long as she's still breathing, as long as she's still alive... I'll pull her back from the brink of death if I have to."
Xiao Jinhan didn't say anything more, but his pace quickened considerably.
It wasn't far from Baichuan Academy to Old Wang's house; it only took a few breaths. Xiao Jinhan led Su Hua directly to the small courtyard in front of Old Wang's house.
Almost immediately upon landing, a strong smell of blood filled the air.
Even though she was mentally prepared, Su Hua's heart still trembled involuntarily.
She followed the scent of blood and hurried toward the main house.
The main door was wide open, and all that could be seen was a sea of blood. The woman lay disheveled in a pool of blood, her face deathly pale, with blood dripping from a fist-sized wound on her forehead. She could even hear the faint sound of the blood flowing.
"Sister!"
Su Hua's almond-shaped eyes widened, instantly filling them with crimson.
He walked towards the woman step by step.
His fist clenched and unclenched at his side, his palm already covered in blood.
No wonder, no wonder Su Dahu fainted due to heart pain.
It's not that he's sick, but rather that he and Su Sui have a telepathic connection, a telepathic connection between twins.
The old doctor in the room turned his head upon hearing the sound, sighed softly, and put away the unopened medicine box beside him. "I'm sorry, I'm powerless to help. You should prepare for her funeral as soon as possible."
"Prepare for your funeral?" Su Hua gritted her teeth, her almond-shaped eyes icy. "Prepare for your funeral?"
The old doctor was taken aback, then his beard trembled with anger. "You, young lady, how can you talk like that? What can a dying person do if they don't prepare for their funeral? Do you think they can pull someone back from the jaws of death...?"
"Yu Feng, see the old doctor out." Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Jinhan interrupted him coldly.
"Yes," Yu Feng replied, immediately picking up the old doctor and walking out.
Su Hua pinched her palm to calm herself down. "Young Master Xiao, please prepare a bath tub, a wooden basin, a handkerchief, and nine medicinal herbs for me: human hair charcoal, palm charcoal, madder root, cattail pollen, Bletilla rhizome, mugwort leaf, agrimony, hearth soil, and burnet root."
I need it right away. Just leave it by the door once it's ready. Don't come in unless I tell you to.
"Okay." Xiao Jinhan didn't ask the reason at all.
He readily agreed and walked out, making sure to close the door tightly before leaving.
