"Clang!"
The main door of the house was opened.
Xiao Jinhan stood under the courtyard wall. Hearing the sound, he turned his head and saw the girl carrying a small, thin body as she walked out. She was always cheerful, but at this moment, under the bright sunlight, her coldness seemed even more intense than the snow in the harsh winter.
He frowned and took a few steps closer to her.
He glanced down at the person in her arms.
Although still unconscious, she was still breathing, and her breathing was even stronger than before.
Now that Su Sui has been rescued, she must have overheard the conversation between Yu Yu and the other person. Xiao Jinhan sighed inwardly, "There are carriages outside. Let's put Miss Su in the carriage first. Old Man Wang, Madam Wang, and Wang Chunfu are currently locked up in another secluded courtyard. I'll take you there to see them."
"Okay." Su Hua nodded softly.
Before leaving, he placed a piece of blood-stained broken glass, which he was clutching in his palm, diagonally against the courtyard wall.
She found this on the ground while giving her older sister acupuncture. There were also many small pieces of glass, each the size of a fingernail, next to it. Put them together, and it would look like a broken solid-colored glass cup.
She had seen this cup in the original owner's memories.
It was a wedding gift that Wang Chunfu gave to Su Sui three years ago when he married her.
It was always treasured by Su Sui in the wooden box by her bedside.
Now, the cup shattered in the struggle, and the shards stained with her sister's blood are the first gift she gave to Old Wang's family.
There's no need to keep such a filthy and disgusting place any longer.
Xiao Jinhan sat on the carriage shaft, gently pulling the reins. His gaze inadvertently drifted towards the old Wang family's secluded courtyard. He saw streaks of light piercing through the shards of glass, leaving mottled shadows on the tall woodpile opposite.
If you listen carefully, you can also hear faint crackling sounds.
The horse-drawn carriage clattered away from the alley.
Considering Su Sui's injuries, Xiao Jinhan drove the car at a slow speed, about the same as his usual oxcart.
A spring breeze swept through the alley, lifting a corner of the carriage curtain.
The old doctor, carrying his medicine chest, stood pacing at the alley entrance. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, he immediately looked up and saw a young woman being held in the arms of a blond girl behind the carriage curtain. He noticed that the fist-sized wound on her forehead had been bandaged, and there wasn't a trace of blood seeping through the snow-white cloth.
Although her face was still pale, it wasn't the bluish-white of a dead person.
There was even a slight rise and fall in his chest.
The old doctor's eyes widened in shock.
How... how is this possible?
This little woman is still alive!
But he clearly remembered that the young woman had lost more than half of her blood, and the wound on her head was bleeding uncontrollably. She only had half an incense stick's time to live. Why did she suddenly seem to have only suffered a slightly more serious injury?
He stood there for an hour, just wanting to see that young girl with blond hair make a fool of herself.
After all, in all his years of medical practice, everyone in Qingshui County who sought his treatment treated him with utmost respect.
This was the first time he had ever been humiliated, and the one who humiliated him was a young girl with yellow hair. Her clear, bright eyes seemed to say that the person was fine, and that he, the doctor, was incompetent.
He planned to wait there until the woman died, and then the family would begin the funeral preparations, proving that his diagnosis was correct.
But now, why is everything completely different from what I imagined?
Could it be that this little girl possessed medical skills and cured the woman?
The old doctor quickly shook his head at this thought. She was just a little girl who hadn't even grown up yet. She probably couldn't even distinguish between medicinal herbs and wild grass. What kind of medical skills could she possibly have?
On the contrary, those men who were going in and out just now were more likely to have invited that old guy from the Divine Doctor Valley.
Aside from the few who came from the Valley of Divine Healers, no one else could possibly snatch someone from the clutches of the King of Hell.
Fortunately, the old man usually stays in Cangwu Town.
Otherwise, he would have stolen the title of the best doctor in Qingshui County.
Compared to the old doctor's complicated feelings, Meng Yongfu, standing in front of the Meng family's noodle shop in the next alley, felt his heart sink even further as he watched the horse-drawn carriage clatter past.
If yesterday's noodle shop was alright even without the students from Baichuan Academy, at least the neighbors around it were there to support it, and it probably earned a couple of taels of silver. But today, it's truly a complete disaster.
He arrived at the noodle shop before dawn and has been working there ever since; an hour has passed since noon.
There were only four customers eating noodles, not even enough to fill a hand.
The four people who came here had gone to eat spicy hot pot in front of the school too late, and the stall had already closed. So they settled for his noodle shop and just wanted to grab a quick bite.
The so-called Mala Tang (spicy hot pot) stall owners are four siblings surnamed Su.
Almost the instant he heard those words, he thought of Su Hua and the other three.
He's good at cooking, his surname is Su, and he has three older brothers and one younger sister—the Su family fits the bill perfectly.
He had been so preoccupied with Meng Fu and Meng Yun'er's affairs that he hadn't noticed what new tricks the Su family might have up their sleeves. But now, seeing the figures of Xiao's eldest son and Su Hua, his guess seemed to have become an undeniable fact.
The man watched the carriage disappear into the alleyway, his eyes flickering for a long time.
Why does this brat have to pick on Meng Yongfu?
The blue cloth carriage carried the three of them through several alleys.
Finally, we stopped in front of a small villa in the east of the city.
As soon as Xiao Jinhan and the other two got off the carriage, the dark gate opened from the inside.
"Master, Miss Su, please come in." Yu Feng stood by the door, respectfully clasped his hands in greeting, and led the two inside.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard faint sobs coming from the inner room.
"Sir...is there some misunderstanding...please! Please let my son go first, he's still so young, he can't take this kind of torture. We can sit down and talk this out..."
The old woman collapsed to the ground, her eyes bloodshot, wiping away tears and sobbing.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a girl in a blue dress slowly walking towards him.
After a long pause, she asked uncertainly, "Hua girl?! You are Hua girl, aren't you?"
