Chapter 552 Zhao Xi has come looking for him.
Shu Yu laughed and said, "We want to go to town to see a doctor. My hand is dislocated. Although my husband put it back in place, he's not good at this. It would be more reassuring to see a doctor in town."
The village chief and his family thought it made sense, so they didn't stop them anymore. After pointing them in the right direction, they saw them out of the village.
Shu Yu was lifted onto the horse by Meng Yunzheng, and the two slowly headed towards the town.
About half an hour later, Meng Yunzheng booked two rooms at the largest inn in town and helped Shu Yu check in.
Although there are doctors in the town, Meng Yunzheng still plans to wait until Zhao Xi arrives before having him examine him.
Shu Yu sat on the bed and asked him, "When will Doctor Zhao arrive?"
"At the latest, it will be in the afternoon." He had left marks along the way, so Zhao Xi could easily find them.
Shu Yu was relieved.
However, Zhao Xi arrived even earlier than they had planned, appearing at the inn before noon.
Having found the mark left by Meng Yunzheng, he immediately started banging on the door of their room, sounding quite resentful.
Sure enough, as soon as Meng Yunzheng opened the door, Zhao Xi stepped into the room and said aggressively, "I have to say, you're so heartless! I won't even mention that you rode the horse away, but at least bring it back after you're done with your business! I..."
His rambling stopped abruptly when he saw Shu Yu's right hand in a sling. He immediately took a few steps forward, frowned, and asked, "Your hand is injured?"
Then he sat on the edge of the bed and asked her to take out her left hand so he could take her pulse.
Meng Yunzheng stood aside and told him about yesterday's events, "...She rolled down the hillside, dislocated her arm, and her body was covered in cuts from branches and rocks. I applied ointment to her. Could you take another look and see if those branches and grass are poisonous?"
That's what he's most worried about.
Zhao Xi turned his head and glared at him, then calmed down and continued to take his pulse.
After a while, he withdrew his hand, stood up and examined her arm before saying, "It's nothing serious. The most serious part is this hand. If it's treated promptly, it will be fine after some rest."
Meng Yunzheng visibly breathed a sigh of relief, while Zhao Xi sneered, "If Miss Lu hadn't actually been injured and there hadn't been extenuating circumstances, I definitely wouldn't have let you off so easily. Do you know that yesterday, I almost had to tow that car over myself?"
"Oh." Meng Yunzheng seemed unconvinced. "And then what happened?"
"Later I was lucky and ran into a caravan. I asked them to let me tie my car to the back of their car so they could take it to the rest station."
Meng Yunzheng thought about it and agreed. Given Zhao Xi's temperament, without a horse-drawn carriage, he would probably just sleep in the open. Anyway, the carriage had all the food, drink, and necessities; he was a grown man, so he wasn't afraid to spend the night outside.
However, upon hearing him mention the post station, Shu Yu immediately asked, "How are things going with the exiles? Are they staying at the same post station as you?"
Zhao Xi nodded. "Yes, the Hou mother and daughter fell off the cart and were injured. That's a minor problem. The main issue is that the leading official fell off the speeding mule cart and was seriously injured. Originally, according to their pace, they were supposed to stop at the next post station to stay overnight, but the leading official was unconscious, so the others had to find the nearest post station to rest and even found a doctor for them."
In such a small place, the doctors' skills were not very good. Fortunately, the leading official was lucky and was not seriously injured.
