All of Jiang Sui's considerations were for the Xiao family's sake, and Xiao's mother had nothing to say.
Moreover, she didn't care about how the other person would repay her in the future, because if she were in his shoes, she would make the same choice as Jiang Sui.
"But there is no decent doctor in our village. Uncle Changqing usually only treats colds and the like. This young master is so injured, I'm afraid he would be helpless even if he came."
Xiao Yi saw that the man was badly injured. There was no one in his family who knew medicine, and the barefoot doctor in the village was only a half-baked doctor. How could he save him?
Jiang Sui naturally considered what he was thinking about, but she soon came up with an idea:
"How about this, Third Brother, you have to go to town and ask a doctor to come back to see him and save his life first. As for the money, I will pay for it first. This young man is well-dressed and should be from a wealthy family. When he wakes up, I will ask him for it back."
No one's money comes from the wind. Jiang Sui is not so noble that he does good deeds without asking where the money comes from. When the time comes, he will ask for back all the money he has spent.
After hearing this, Xiao Yi thought it was feasible, so he did not delay any longer and went to find Ermaizi to hitch the ox cart.
It took more than an hour to go back and forth. Taking advantage of this gap, Xiao's mother asked Xiao Hechuan to take off the dirty clothes of the young man first, and cover him with a quilt temporarily until the doctor came to see him.
Xiao's mother even heated the kang to prevent him from getting cold.
But he had a high fever at this moment, his whole body was burning and his lips were chapped.
Seeing this, Xiao Lanlan hurriedly went to boil some hot water and fed it to him little by little with a spoon. He was still conscious, but couldn't wake up. When the warm water entered his mouth, he subconsciously swallowed very eagerly, it seemed that he was very thirsty.
Xiao Lanlan then used a hot towel to gently wipe his face clean. Although there were some sparse scars on his face, it did not affect his original handsome appearance at all.
For a moment, Xiao Lanlan blushed and felt hot inside.
Her four brothers were all very handsome, each with his own merits, especially the fourth brother, Xiao Hechuan. People said that it was impossible to find a more handsome son than him in the surrounding area, or even in the entire Huaxi County.
The man lying in front of her was not bad at all. He was the most handsome man she had ever seen except for her fourth brother.
When Xiao's mother came in, she saw this scene: her daughter was wiping someone's face gently, and her own face was extremely red.
As a mother, how could I not know that little girls all like handsome men? But now Hechuan is the only man in the family. And he is in such a situation, how can he take care of others?
It would be even more inconvenient for two daughters-in-law to look after a man from another family, so she asked Lanlan to look after them a little and wait until Xiao Yi came back to deal with everything else.
As a result...how come you felt shy after just looking at it for a few seconds?
"Ahem...Lanlan, go and have a rest. Mom is watching over you here."
Mother Xiao deliberately coughed twice to bring Xiao Lanlan back to her senses.
After all, she is still an unmarried girl. It is not appropriate for her to look after her. It is better for her nanny to look after her herself.
Xiao Lanlan also realized her own gaffe and quickly lowered her head.
She didn't dare to look at Xiao's mother, but when she left, she couldn't help but look back twice.
When Xiao Yi came back, it was already completely dark. The village was dotted with lights and the sound of dogs barking could be heard.
The old doctor in the town was brought back by Xiao Yi. He gave the old doctor a general description of the young master's condition, and the old doctor then brought some useful medicinal herbs.
Everyone had already eaten dinner, and the food left for Xiao Yi was heating up in the pot.
After he came back, he went to eat first, while the old doctor went to the room to treat the young man. When he arrived, he found that the man had a high fever. Fortunately, he had prepared it in advance. He took the antipyretic herbs and asked Xiao's mother to boil them quickly for the man to take. The most urgent task was to reduce the fever.
After that, he began to check his other injuries.
When the old doctor examined him, his brows were tightly furrowed. Only Xiao Yi was guarding the room, and the others were waiting outside.
I cooked some antipyretic medicine and fed it to him, and then put a cold towel on his forehead to cool him down.
After a long time, Xiao Yi followed the old doctor out of the room.
Xiao's mother hurried forward to inquire about the situation.
"Doctor, how is the person? Is he not in danger of death?"
The old doctor sighed, somewhat helplessly:
"As long as the high fever subsides, his life will not be in danger for the time being. The superficial injuries on his body are minor. The main ones are two broken ribs and a broken left leg. My medical skills are limited and I don't know how to set bones. For injuries of this degree, I think we need to go to the county to ask a doctor who specializes in bone setting. Don't delay any longer. If the best time for bone setting is missed and the bones grow crooked, it will be difficult to treat and he will most likely be disabled."
His medical skills are not very good, and he really can't treat such a serious fall. He can only treat skin injuries.
I have a general understanding of the situation. As long as there is no danger to life, it's fine.
The young man drank the medicine, but he was still in a coma. The fever might not go away for a while, so he had to be watched all night.
Besides, it's already this late, and the old doctor has to stay overnight. He is old, and it's not convenient for him to rush back and forth at night. Most importantly, he is afraid of encountering wild wolves or something while walking on the mountain road, which is not safe.
The old doctor brought some bottles and jars for applying to skin injuries. Since he was making outpatient visits, he had to charge extra fees. All these miscellaneous charges totaled three taels of silver for Jiang Sui.
Jiang Sui asked him to write a prescription so that it would be easier for her to find someone to reimburse her in the future.
After everything was settled, the person was handed over to Xiao Yi's care, and Xiao's mother found Jiang Sui to discuss the next steps.
The old doctor said that there was no time to waste and that we had to ask a bone-setting doctor to come right away, otherwise the patient would become disabled.
Two ribs were broken and a leg was broken. It sounds scary.
"Sui Sui, tell us what we should do next!" Xiao's mother wanted to hear Jiang Sui's opinion. She felt that she was the one who would make the decisions and think things through carefully.
When the old doctor said this just now, Jiang Sui had actually already made a rough arrangement.
"Tomorrow, let Third Brother take some time to go to the Jishan Hall in the county. I'll then ask Third Brother to look for something on the young man's body that can be used as a keepsake. We can just ask the Jishan Hall to send a bone-setting doctor to save him."
"A token? What token? I asked Hechuan to take off his clothes. He was only wearing those tattered clothes. There was nothing else."
Xiao's mother had already confirmed that the only clean thing on his body was his clothes.
"It might have fallen into the mountain stream. Tomorrow morning, Tsurukawa Lanlan and I will go and look for it to see if we can find anything."
Jiang Sui remembered that the second young master was wearing jade pendants and sachets. Rich people are particular about these things. Maybe they fell off and were scattered somewhere else.
