Cui Yanjin suddenly came to a realization.
He used his clever little brain and understood why his cousin brother would be so fierce to his cousin sister-in-law, acting like a vicious monster, to the point that it almost frightened him.
He propped up his chin, accusing Zhou Gu with an adult tone, "Hey, Cousin Brother, this is where you are wrong. Cousin Sister-in-law was just trying to save you, don’t be ungrateful,"
Zhou Gu was outraged, "I am ungrateful?"
"Yes." Cui Yanjin nodded firmly, "If someday, the woman I like, would do the same for me as cousin sister-in-law did for you, I would be secretly thrilled."
Zhou Gu rolled his eyes, "What do you know?"
Cui Yanjin was not convinced, "When my mom and dad were in danger together, if my mom told my dad to run, he would definitely listen to her, unlike you, who must be forcibly taken away and even still grumble and act furious."
Zhou Gu thought of his parents, his fourth uncle, and aunt, who were known for their eccentric temperaments in the Qinghe Cui family, and immediately found it hard to respond, "Can this be compared?"
"Why not? I remember my mom once told me that when she was pregnant with me, she and my father were out sightseeing when they ran into my mother’s offended enemy who wanted to kill her. My mother told the people to protect my dad and leave. My dad left crying. After he left, my mother was saved by people sent by my maternal grandfather in time. My dad was overjoyed and held my mother tight. It was like regaining a precious treasure, he didn’t get angry or lose his temper with my mother at all. Both my grandfather and my mother later commended my dad, saying this son-in-law is a good find. What kind of man is he who tries to die along with her? When he returns to the Qinghe Cui family, he can use the family power to avenge my mother and the child in her belly. That’s much more valuable than dying together," Cui Yanjin confidently said, "If you don’t believe me, you can ask Brother Xingzhi, my cousin also knows about this."
Zhou Gu was silent all of a sudden.
Seeing that Cui Yanjin had left him speechless, he snorted and continued to sermonize, "So, Cousin Brother, your fiery bull-like attitude towards Cousin Sister-in-law just now was wrong."
Despite understanding this principle, Zhou Gu emotionally disagreed. Being preached to by a cousin several years his junior, he swallowed his pride and said, "Enough, shut up!"
Cui Yanjin puffed up his cheeks, "Cousin Brother, you are so unreasonable! I really don’t know why Cousin Sister-in-law likes you."
Zhou Gu glared at him instantly.
Seeing him about to get angry again, Cui Yanjin quickly shut his mouth.
Back in the residence, Doctor Zhang had already patched up Su Rong. Seeing Zhou Gu, he said it was good timing for him to be back. His own injuries also needed immediate dressing and medication.
Zhou Gu nodded, glanced at the unconscious Su Rong on the bed, still furious, and turned to walk out.
Doctor Zhang was a little surprised, "Fourth Young Master, your wound..."
"Find another room next door," Zhou Gu said without looking back.
Doctor Zhang nodded and followed him, thinking those who just yesterday were unwilling to leave and insisted on sleeping in the same bed were already quarrelsome today. It was clear that they were really angry. He sighed and thought that if it was up to him, he wouldn’t blame Princess Su; it was better to have one more person alive.
In the next room, Zhou Gu lay on the bed.
Apart from getting on and off the carriage, he didn’t need anyone’s help anymore, and on the way, his wound started bleeding profusely again.
Doctor Zhang was bandaging Zhou Gu, looking at his numerous big and small wounds, and took a deep breath, "Fourth Young Master, you absolutely cannot engage in any more fights, or else your body might be ruined."
He was already badly injured, and if this continued, he wasn’t sure if he could guarantee Zhou Gu’s life every time.
"I understand," Zhou Gu was very dizzy. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Doctor Zhang saw him speaking without strength and quickly took out a jade bottle and handed him two pills.
Zhou Gu swallowed them with difficulty, then mustered up the strength to say, "Hurry up. Ye Guixue was badly wounded, I’m afraid only your medical skills can save her."
Doctor Zhang nodded, "Fourth Young Master, don’t worry."
With that, he quickly started dressing Zhou Gu’s wounds.
Lan Zhi and Bi Qing hadn’t been assisting Doctor Zhang today. There were too many injured; they were too busy saving people, giving each severely injured person with a breath a pill to keep them alive, then waited for Doctor Zhang to treat them.
Cui Yanjin said from the side, "Cousin Brother, don’t worry. Among the people from the Evil Ghost Sect that I brought along, several are proficient in medical skills, and they’ve already been treating people when you went to see cousin sister-in-law."
Zhou Gu merely "mhm"ed, feeling somewhat relieved.
Doctor Zhang was surprised, "People from the Evil Ghost Sect? Are there people from the Evil Ghost Sect among the people you brought today, Young Master?"
"What? Senior, do you know the Evil Ghost Sect?" Cui Yanjin asked politely.
"I do." Doctor Zhang continued bandaging and quickly spoke, "I’ve heard that among the Evil Ghost Sect, there’s a Ghost Doctor who is skilful and eccentric in medical skills and adept at counteracting poison with poison. I have been wanting to discuss with him but was trapped in Jibei City and couldn’t look for him. I had to give up, but I am indeed very interested."
Cui Yanjin responded with an "oh", "You must be talking about Brother Qin Feng’s grandfather, he has passed away, but Brother Qin Feng has inherited his mantle, you can find him to discuss in the future."
"I see, very good," Doctor Zhang nodded, his heart still lamenting the missed opportunity.
Seeing Doctor Zhang proficient and calm in his movements, Cui Yanjin didn’t slack off either, he helped in passing wine and scissors while conversing.
After Doctor Zhang finished bandaging, he patted Zhou Gu’s shoulder, "Fourth Young Master, you should rest! Humans aren’t made of iron. Don’t worry, Princess Su is taken care of."
Zhou Gu responded with a weary "mhm". He was indeed too tired to keep going, and soon fell asleep.
Doctor Zhang took his medicine box and left, instructing Cui Yanjin, "Young Master, I am leaving Fourth Young Master in your care. If he develops a fever, send for me at once."
Cui Yanjin responded seriously, "Senior, rest assured, I will take care of my cousin brother and not leave his side."
Doctor Zhang hurriedly left.
Ye Guixue, Xie Yuan, Jiang Zhu, Fen Ling, Ziye, Yin Yue, and Lang Ying were all very severely injured. In particular, Ye Guixue, Fen Ling, and Ziye were only left with a breath.
Lan Zhi and Bi Qing had fed them all a Soul Returning Pill. Cui Yanjin’s Qin Feng was currently treating the three of them first.
Upon his arrival, Doctor Zhang instantly noticed a young man, with a handsome appearance, who appeared to be in his early twenties. He was currently administering acupuncture to Ye Guixue. His movements were speedy and steady. Doctor Zhang guessed his identity at first glance, but he didn’t immediately strike up a conversation, instead, he hurriedly joined in saving people.
A good doctor can indeed snatch people from the hands of King Yama at the Ghost Gate. Qin Feng and Doctor Zhang were such exemplary doctors. After their treatment, they managed to save a few lives.
Seeing this, Lan Zhi and Bi Qing were determined. Their medical skills were still lacking and they needed to learn well. They couldn’t rely solely on good medicines to keep people fighting for life, only capable of basic dressings, and then be helpless.
