"My surname is Su, and my given name is Yanqing, which means peace and tranquility. Jishantang is the property of my Su family. My grandfather is the famous Mr. Su Wubing. My grandfather has two grandsons, and I am the second one, so I am called the Second Master Su.
A few days ago, I passed by Huaxi County and inspected the Jishan Hall branch. It was said that Xianhe Village in Baima Town produced some good medicinal herbs, so I wanted to check it out on the spot and try my luck. As my grandfather always said, medical knowledge is dead, and if you want to improve your medical skills, you have to apply what you have learned and experience it personally. So I came here with my servant.
I just never thought that I, a servant, would be bribed to push me off a cliff and kill me. Fortunately, I was not destined to die and met your kind family. Otherwise, I would have died by now. Your life-saving grace is like a rebirth. Su Yanqing has no way to repay you. I will die for you in the future. As long as your benefactor says so, I am willing to go down even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire."
Su Yanqing is unable to move now, otherwise he would have to get up and kowtow to the Xiao family.
As a doctor, he is now very clear about his condition. His ribs are broken, his legs are broken, and he has internal injuries. If he had not been lucky enough to meet a good person, he would probably have become a wandering ghost in the mountains.
"Child, we won't go through fire and water, but I won't hide it from you. We decided to save you because we recognized your identity. We didn't expect you to bring benefits to our family after saving you, but we wanted to establish a good relationship with you.
Besides, my daughter-in-law said that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. When I saw you were still breathing, I couldn’t bear to just ignore you. You know, we are just ordinary people with no ability. We have to be prepared to bear the consequences if we meddle in other people’s affairs. From what you said, the person behind the scenes wanted to kill you. Will it be bad for our family…”
Xiao's mother was very frank and said it clearly, telling you directly that we saved you not simply because we wanted to save you, but because we wanted a favor from you.
She didn't finish the last sentence, but looked embarrassed. The rest will be up to you, Mr. Su, to figure out for yourself. What she meant was that we are afraid of being retaliated against.
Su Yanqing looked smart, it was impossible for him not to understand. He only lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment before looking at Xiao's mother and comforting her firmly:
"Ma'am, don't worry. I won't let my personal affairs involve your family. I know in my heart who wants to harm me. He doesn't want me to get timely treatment and wants to destroy me. But I still have a backup plan. I just have to trouble you to help me find someone in Baima Town."
With his words, Xiao's mother, Jiang Sui, and Xiao Yi felt more confident.
"Who? Tell me, I'll ask my third son to help you find it." Xiao's mother said, looking at Xiao Yi on the side, and Xiao Yi nodded hurriedly.
"He is one of my uncles and my father's senior brother. His surname is Zeng and he is from Baima Town. He stopped practicing medicine due to some personal matters in his early years. Now he lives in Qingshui Lane in Baima Town. When you go there, just say that Lin Xu is in trouble and ask him to help.
Linxu is my nickname, and only those who are very close to me know it. After hearing this, he will definitely follow me. He is the best at bone setting. It can be said that his skills are better than any bone setting doctor in Jishan Hall. It is most appropriate to ask him to set my bones."
Now all problems were solved. Xiao's mother and Jiang Sui looked at each other and smiled.
"In that case, we can rest assured. You can't delay your illness any longer. But you still have to endure tonight. Our home is remote, and it's not easy to go to town. If it's dark today, we can only wait until tomorrow morning to find someone to help you."
It is now the middle of the night. The dogs in the village have stopped barking, and the wild wolves in the mountains have begun to come out. I really don't dare to take the risk so late at night.
Su Yanqing is a reasonable person. He can understand that this is not a problem. He can still endure it for just one night.
As he was speaking, Su Yanqing caught a glimpse of the girl who had just looked at him quietly retreating.
As soon as he thought of the look just now, he felt his heart pounding and for a moment he even forgot the pain in his body.
It turned out that Xiao Lanlan went to the kitchen. She scooped a bowl of rice soup from the pot and took out a big white steamed bun.
Because Su Yanqing was a patient, Xiao's mother was afraid that he would be wronged, so she took out the little rice in the house and made white flour steamed buns. Normally, they only had steamed buns made of two-grain flour, which was made of white flour mixed with cornmeal.
"Mr. Su must be hungry, eat something quickly."
Xiao Lanlan came in with something and asked softly from behind.
Xiao's mother also just reacted, and quickly took the plate from her daughter and said with a smile:
"Yes, Mr. Su must be hungry. You haven't had much food or drink in the past few days. Please don't despise our simple meals. Just make do with them to fill your stomach."
Su Yanqing was actually a little hungry, but he wouldn't have noticed it if he hadn't said it.
During the days he was in a coma, he only drank some rice soup, but not much. Besides, as a patient, he could only eat these light foods.
"I don't mind, how could I? I'm just sorry to bother you, Madam."
He lay on the bed unable to move, but he still pulled his hands out from under the quilt and bowed to her.
"Don't be so polite, just call me aunt. I'm not a lady at all. That's the title used by wealthy families. It makes me uncomfortable. Xiao Yi, come and help Master Su get some water and rice. It's getting late, so let's go back and rest first."
Xiao's mother was also worried that Su Yanqing would feel uncomfortable. After all, with so many people surrounding him and it being inconvenient for him, how could he feel comfortable?
"Okay, you all go and rest, Master Su, I'm here!"
Xiao Yi had a good impression of Mr. Su. He thought he was polite and pleasant to listen to. Who had made him suffer injustice in the county today?
Everyone left the house one after another. Zhou was there too, but she just watched quietly from the side, with little sense of presence.
She remained neutral about her family's rescue efforts, neither commenting nor opposing them.
The main reason was that she felt that she had no say, so they could do whatever they wanted. But now that she knew Su Yanqing's identity, she changed her mind. It seemed that this person was not saved in vain.
Xiao Hechuan was so sleepy that he started to yawn. He hugged Jiang Sui's arm like a clingy puppy. He leaned on her and acted like a spoiled child:
"Wife, I'm so sleepy..."
Jiang Sui was struggling a bit, but she was smiling, touching his face naturally and pinching it gently.
Hmm...it feels really good.
"Go to bed when you are sleepy, but wash your feet before going to bed."
"Okay!" Xiao Hechuan responded obediently.
