As soon as the word "Baima Town" came out, the doctor's face turned even paler. He hurriedly walked out of the counter, asked Xiao Yi to go out, and said:
"Don't go to Baima Town. It's too far. Go ask someone else!"
Xiao Yi was pushed out and asked in confusion:
"Doctor, why don't you go to Baima Town? I have money and can afford it. This is a matter of life and death, so please be kind and help me and go with me!"
Xiao Yi said with a pleading tone.
"I said I won't go, and I don't mean to go. I'm not the only doctor in this city who can set bones. You should go find someone else." After he said that, he simply turned around and closed the door, as if Xiao Yi was some vicious person.
It was really strange. Xiao Yi couldn't help but curse:
"Damn it, I took the wrong medicine today, didn't I?"
He had no choice but to go to the next one, but the result was the same. When the doctors heard that they were needed to set bones, they all acted as if they had seen a ghost, especially when they heard the words "Baima Town". They all avoided him as if they had been cursed.
After running around for a whole day, Xiao Yi couldn't find a doctor. He was so anxious that his forehead was full of sweat. It was almost 3 p.m. and the last returning carriage was about to leave. He had no choice but to leave the city and go back to report.
…
At this time in the Xiao family, Xiao's mother took care of the second young master for the whole day. He had fever repeatedly and woke up several times, but his mind was not clear.
Xiao's mother fed him some rice soup, and his fever subsided again.
Seeing that it was getting dark again and his third son had not returned yet, Jiang Sui had a bad feeling in his heart. He was afraid that his third brother would return empty-handed this time.
As she expected, Xiao Yi came back alone, like a dejected rooster.
After being hungry and thirsty all day, he went home and ate voraciously, telling me what happened that day in a disjointed manner.
The more I talked, the angrier he got. I've never seen anything like this before.
"What's going on? There's a plague god in our Baima Town. No one wants to come. And that damn charity hall insisted that I was mistaken, saying that their second son is fine. It costs ten taels of silver to hire an orthopedic doctor. I didn't bring enough silver, so this is what happened."
After listening to the general situation, Jiang Sui narrowed his eyes slightly and began to ponder.
It seems that the accident of the Second Young Master was no accident. In any case, it was impossible for her to recognize the wrong person. There was indeed a person named the Second Young Master in Jishan Hall. This meant that the Second Young Master had offended someone and someone wanted him dead.
These pharmacies are unwilling to come to Baima Town, they must be under coercion. It seems that the person behind this is very powerful and most people are quite afraid of him.
Jiang Sui couldn't help but think of the many dramas and novels about house fighting that he had watched. Men usually fight for family property. He is the second son, so there must be an eldest son above him, and maybe a third or fourth son below him. In any case, they are all suspects.
"It seems that we are heading in the wrong direction. We are actually exposed. The second young master has made an enemy. Someone wants to harm him. We just happened to run into him and confess. The doctors in the pharmacy all said that they were unwilling to come to us. They must have been coerced. The power behind them is powerful and we can't afford to offend them. I'm afraid that this road to Huaxi County is blocked. Someone doesn't want him to be well and is blocking him everywhere. We can only think of another way."
When Xiao's mother heard Jiang Sui's analysis, which was well-reasoned, she became afraid:
"Sui Sui, if you say so, the person behind this is so powerful, will we be retaliated against if we intervene in this matter?"
"Yes, I saw those doctors all turned pale when they heard about coming to Baima Town to fix bones, as if they had seen a ghost. If we continue to save him, will the people behind the scenes cause trouble for us?
We are all common people, how can we fight against those powerful people? " Xiao Yi also realized the seriousness of the matter.
But Jiang Sui was calm enough. She had to calm her family first. Just as she was thinking about how to comfort them, Xiao Hechuan ran in and shouted anxiously:
"Wife, mother, that person has woken up. Lanlan asked me to tell you."
When he heard that the person had woken up, Jiang Sui immediately got up and rushed to that room. As long as the person was awake, it would be easy to deal with. He knew what was going on.
Originally, Xiao Lanlan wanted to come over to see if he had a fever again, so she reached out to touch his forehead and fortunately, the temperature was normal.
As a result, he suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.
The second young master only felt a cool touch on his forehead. He did not reject it, but rather liked the feeling very much and gradually opened his eyes.
As soon as I opened my eyes, a very beautiful face came into view.
The dim candlelight at the bedside shone on the girl's face, as if it was coated with a layer of soft light, and her long eyelashes cast shadows under her eyes.
It is said that beauties should be viewed under lamplight, and gentlemen should be viewed under the moon. At that moment, he felt his heart pounding, and he was stunned.
Xiao Lanlan found that he was awake and was caught off guard and looked into his eyes.
The beauty looked panicked, quickly withdrew her hand, took two steps back, and stammered:
"You...you woke up..."
The second young master just came back to his senses. The belated pain all over his body made his handsome eyebrows frown. He moaned and asked with a slight gasp:
"Where am I?"
"You fell down the mountain stream and were seriously injured. We rescued you. Wait, I'll call my family over."
Xiao Lanlan hurried out and saw Xiao Hechuan guarding the door. She asked him to go find Xiao's mother and the others.
When Jiang Sui and the others rushed over, the man had indeed woken up, but he looked to be in pain and in a lot of pain.
I broke two ribs and a leg. How could it not hurt?
"Child, how do you feel? Can you still bear it?"
Xiao's mother asked him gently. He was about the same age as her own child, so she was somewhat kind to him.
"Madam, were you the one who saved me?" the second young master asked with pain.
"No, it was my youngest son, daughter-in-law and my youngest daughter who saved you. You fell into the ravine and were seriously injured. They saw that you were still breathing, so they brought you back. Are you the second son of Jishan Hall?" Xiao's mother simply answered his question and then confirmed his identity in turn.
When the second young master heard that she actually recognized him, but he had no impression of anyone present, he felt confused:
"How did you recognize me, madam?"
If he asked this, it would be 100% certain that he was indeed the second son of Jishan Hall.
So, Xiao's mother and Jiang Sui looked at each other, and then told him the whole story in detail, including what Xiao Yi had encountered in the county today.
After listening to this, the Second Young Master's tense face and gloomy expression proved how angry he was at the moment, it could be said that he was gritting his teeth.
Afterwards, he slowly told his story...
