When Bai Nuo told them what had happened, the group fell silent, their faces grim. Who would have thought that right across from their house was a den of assassins?
"Damn it, how dare he lay a hand on you! I'll go and bring him back right now!" Old Man Dugu stood up abruptly, roared, and was about to rush out the door.
Hu Mingmei didn't stop him, but simply said, "Are you going to chop someone into eight pieces with your kitchen knife?"
Old Man Dugu turned around somewhat awkwardly, but Hu Mingmei only gave him a cold look. Bai Nuo, on the other hand, gradually calmed down and comforted Old Man Dugu, "Senior, don't be impulsive."
They all knew that it was Manager He's men who did it, but there was no evidence to prove that Manager He was the one who killed her. If Old Man Dugu rushed up rashly, then they would be the ones in the wrong.
If Manager He doesn't trip over it, he himself will suffer a great loss.
"So we're just going to leave it at that?" Old Man Dugu said, quite annoyed. How did he end up... a cook?
Although he had no feelings for Bai Nuo, she was still Hu Mingmei's wife and, in a sense, his granddaughter-in-law. He couldn't tolerate her being bullied.
Old Man Dugu thought for a moment, then ran off in a flash. Bai Nuo was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Hu Mingmei, her eyes full of confusion, "What does he want to do?"
Hu Mingmei shook her head. Who knows if he's crazy?
Bai Nuo got up to change her clothes. When she came out, the doctor had already arrived. Bai Nuo quickly went to greet him, "Doctor, how is Zhang Wu?"
As a doctor who had been practicing medicine in the town for many years, and Zhang Wu was quite famous in the town, with the name of the young master of the Zhang family being even more well-known than that of the patriarch of the Zhang family, the doctor naturally knew Zhang Wu.
However, the doctor was immediately filled with a burning curiosity about the situation. Why was Young Master Zhang Wu lying on the bed of Duobaoge, and why was he so seriously injured? The young lady of Duobaoge seemed concerned, while the manager of Duobaoge looked expressionless and gloomy.
Could it be that this young lady has been having an affair with Young Master Zhang, and the shopkeeper found out, but because he is wary of the Zhang family's power, he has no choice but to swallow his anger and bear the consequences?
That's most likely the case!
The more the doctor looked at Bai Nuo's anxious face, the more he felt that he was right.
"Doctor?" Bai Nuo was stunned when she saw the doctor staring at her face, and called out again.
"Oh, Young Master Zhang is quite lucky!" The doctor snapped out of his daze at Bai Nuo's call and quickly said, "The knife wound was only an inch away from the heart meridian. Fortunately, it didn't deviate any further, otherwise Young Master Zhang's heart meridian would definitely have been damaged, and even a god couldn't save him then."
"..." Bai Nuo pursed her lips as she listened to the doctor. Seeing her like this, the doctor felt even more sorry for Hu Mingmei, but as a doctor, he still had his composure. "The medicine you used is good and stopped the bleeding in time. I will prescribe some more medicine for internal and external use. After resting for more than a month, he will be fine! Remember, during this period, Young Master Zhang must not move, otherwise the wound will be torn open."
The poor shopkeeper has to keep an eye on these two wretches; it's really tough on him.
Bai Nuo's mind was entirely focused on Zhang Wu, so she didn't notice the doctor's expression. Knowing what he was thinking, she thanked the doctor repeatedly and then asked Xia Donglai to give her the money to get the medicine.
Seeing Bai Nuo's reaction, the doctor became even angrier, flicked his sleeve, and left with a disgusted sigh.
"Why is he..." Bai Nuo looked at his back in confusion. She didn't seem to have offended this doctor!
"I guess they think there's some unspeakable secret between you two!" Hu Mingmei stood up from her chair and looked Bai Nuo up and down. "Are you injured?"
Bai Nuo shook her head and looked at Zhang Wu on the bed. After being bandaged, Zhang Wu could not put on clothes. His upper body was naked, wrapped in medical gauze, and the gauze was stained with blood, which looked very creepy.
"He can't stay here. Once he's sober, we'll send him back!" Hu Mingmei said calmly.
Bai Nuo nodded silently.
It's really not a good idea for Zhang Wu to stay here. It's not that Hu Mingmei is stingy. First of all, Zhang Wu can't just stay away from home for a month without a reason. Moreover, the doctors and medicines that the Zhang family can find are definitely better than those that they can find here.
"Here, you can use this!" Old Man Dugu finally returned to the room and dumped a bunch of things on the table. Bai Nuo looked at them and saw that they were all bottles, jars, and tools.
"What is this?" Bai Nuo asked.
"Seven-Star Begonia, Meteor Soft Bone Needle, Deadly Soul-Chasing Fan, Yama Sword!" Old Man Dugu said proudly, "These are all hidden weapons I've collected over ten years of wandering the martial world. Take them for self-defense!"
Hu Mingmei walked over, picked up the items on the table, and the old man Dugu, seeing his interest, became very proud and said, "What you're holding is the Yama Sword. Don't underestimate it just because it's only an inch long and seemingly useless. But if you press the switch on it, it can extend to the length of a normal sword. You can definitely take your opponent's life when they're off guard. Also, there are the Soft Bone Needles and the Soul-Chasing Fan. One is a fine needle, and the other is a steel ball. And this Seven-Star Begonia is a poison without an antidote. Be careful when you use it."
"And what are these things?" Bai Nuo couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement. This old man, although he looked slovenly and crazy, actually had quite a lot of things in his collection.
And none of them were life-threatening.
"Crane's Crest Red and Arsenic!"
