Chapter 85 Overthinking
Zhang Juexia expressed his doubts.
Ye Beixiu also hesitated. After all, Liu Mingda cured his leg and taught him to read and write.
But if they don't save the person in front of them, both of them will feel guilty.
"My husband, go and look through this person's body to see what he has."
Ye Beixiu understood what he meant. He searched through the book again and again but found nothing.
"Madam, I think we should just carry him to the carriage. If Doctor Liu were in the carriage, I believe he would also be able to save him."
"All right."
When Liu Mingda saw the two men coming back, he came forward to ask whether they had bought the land.
Zhang Juexia smiled and told him, "Doctor Liu, the land purchase went smoothly, just as you expected.
It's just that while we were on the road, we came across a dying person and out of pity, we brought him back. I'd like to trouble you to take a look and see if he can be saved."
Liu Mingda was very alert. He first looked around outside the gate and then told them to close the door quickly.
"After all, we don't know this man's background. Just in case, it's best to put him in the warehouse in the backyard. I'll go and treat him."
After Zhang Juexia settled the people, Liu Mingda came over.
He lifted his shirt and took a look. "Xia'er, go out first. This man is injured. Leave Bei Xiu to help me."
"My dear, I'm here. Go to the front yard and boil some hot water. It might be useful later."
Zhang Juexia was absentmindedly boiling water, wondering if rescuing this man and bringing him home would cause any trouble.
The water boiled without her noticing.
Ye Beixiu came to the kitchen with a wooden stick to remind her, and she realized, "I was distracted for a moment."
"This man was seriously injured, with multiple wounds on his body. Fortunately, we brought him back, otherwise, I'm afraid his life would be in danger."
"What about him now?"
"Doctor Liu only stopped the bleeding on his wound. From what he said, you have to go to town tomorrow because there is no medicine at home."
"Just go, as long as you're alright."
Liu Mingda walked wearily to the front yard. "Xia'er, help me make some food and make the bed. This man is seriously injured. I have to stay with him in the backyard today."
After all, the weather is cold and there is no heating in the warehouse, so this night will probably be difficult to endure.
"Doctor Liu, why don't you move this man to the front yard so it will be more convenient to take care of him."
"No, no, saving him is important, but he hasn't woken up yet. We don't know whether he's a good guy or a bad guy. It's always better to be vigilant."
Ye Beixiu insisted on going to the backyard to help look after the house, but was retorted by Liu Mingda with just two words.
"Are you able to walk freely, or do you know medical skills?"
Ye Beixiu really had nothing to say.
"Xia'er, I'll write a prescription. Go to the town early tomorrow morning to get the medicine. Remember to be careful and don't tell anyone about your rescue.
I have divided this prescription into two parts, and together they are medicine for treating knife wounds.
If separated, one portion replenishes blood and the other relieves pain.
Remember, when you hand them over to Li Yidong, you should also hand them over separately. It’s always better to be careful.”
Zhang Juexia took the prescription and said, "Don't worry, Doctor Liu, I know what I'm doing."
Because they had something on their minds, Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu couldn't sleep well all night. They got up early and went to the backyard.
Liu Mingda's eyes were bloodshot, and his look revealed an unconcealable fatigue.
Looking at him like that, Zhang Juexia was afraid that he hadn't slept all night.
Liu Mingda gestured to Ye Beixiu, "I had a fever all night and just fell asleep. You keep an eye on it while I get some sleep."
After Zhang Juexia packed up, he drove a horse carriage to the town to get medicine. After getting the medicine, he did not stay in the town and hurried back home.
She specifically asked Bai Zhu if there was anything unusual in the town.
Bai Zhu thought about it and shook his head again.
On the way home, she was also very careful and did not encounter any suspicious people along the way.
Liu Mingda boiled some medicine for the man in the backyard, and asked Zhang Juexia to find a place to dispose of the residue.
When the man woke up, it was already the next morning.
Zhang Juexia went to the town to pick up the pottery jar he had ordered, so he left home early.
When she arrived at the town, she was dumbfounded. There were several times more soldiers standing guard at the city gate than usual, and everyone entering the city was strictly interrogated.
When it was Zhang Juexia's turn, her carriage was overturned and thoroughly checked, and she was asked many times why she came to the city.
Zhang Juexia answered truthfully and was allowed to enter the city gate only after she was registered.
There were also soldiers patrolling the town with knives in their hands. This scene made Zhang Juexia's palms sweat.
Arriving at the grocery store, the shopkeeper quickly asked the clerk to help Zhang Juexia load the pottery jars into the car. "I'll wait for you. After sending you away, I'll close the shop. We can't afford this trouble."
"But what happened?"
"Who would believe that? It's better to close the shop early. I'd rather not make any money than get into this trouble. There was a commotion last night. They said they had searched every pharmacy."
When she heard the word "pharmacy", Zhang Juexia's heart skipped a beat. After the clerk in the grocery store helped her pack her things, she paid the money and drove the carriage to Li's pharmacy.
Seeing that the door of the pharmacy was still open and there was nothing unusual inside or outside, she felt relieved.
It was the same trouble when leaving the city gate. After a round of inspection, and matching the records with those when entering the city, Zhang Juexia was soon allowed to pass.
Along the way, Zhang Juexia drove the carriage very fast. She talked to Ah Hua from time to time, "Ah Hua, thank you for your hard work. I am afraid that there will be trouble at home, so I have to ask you to go faster."
Ah Hua seemed to understand her words and walked even faster...
When she arrived at the door of her house, she imitated Liu Mingda and looked around first, then entered the house and closed the door.
Liu Mingda saw her hurried steps and knew something was wrong. "Is there something unusual in the town?"
Zhang Juexia pointed to the backyard and said, "That guy is awake now."
"Yeah, he just woke up and went into a daze. He was making a fuss just now, saying he didn't want to cause us any trouble."
"That person should have nothing to do with what you did!"
Liu Mingda thought about it and said, "It shouldn't be related."
Then, he glared again, "I've told you many times that I haven't done anything wrong. I'm just hiding from people."
"I see. Don't be angry, it's bad for your health. That man did tell me where he came from and where he was going."
"No. However, I didn't ask, so I'll find time to ask."
"There's a big commotion in the town this time. Everyone entering and leaving the city gates is checked, and some shops are closed.
I heard that the pharmacy was also checked, but there was nothing unusual at Li Ji Pharmacy, so I didn't go in."
"Well done. I guess by the time those people remember us, that person will have recovered and left."
"Doctor Liu, I'm always feeling uneasy. What if this guy isn't a good person? Or maybe he's a master and kills us in the middle of the night?"
Liu Mingda looked at Zhang Juexia seriously and said, "You think too much!"
