The resting place of the people of Da Liuzhuang, in the shack of the village chief Liu.
"Doctor Bai, please take a look at my daughter-in-law. She is pregnant."
Village chief Liu was very attentive and smiling. He had finally negotiated with Zhou Fuan and asked Bai Suzi to come and treat the injuries of his son and daughter-in-law.
Because Village Chief Liu led the officers before the earth dragon turned over, after the officers went up the mountain, he stayed and waited for the people from Da Liuzhuang to come, and then he led the people from Da Liuzhuang up the mountain as well.
They were familiar with the area and did not want to travel with the officials.
Village chief Liu led the villagers, deliberately avoiding officials and exiled prisoners, and took a small path into the mountains.
So their village arrived here before the officials. However, they were unlucky and encountered wolves and wild boars, so they were chased back here and ran into the officials.
Since Village Chief Liu had been helpful to the officials before, Zhou Fuan did not make things difficult for him and asked Bai Suzi to come over for treatment.
"I'm fine. Can you please ask the doctor to check on my husband first? He's badly injured."
Mu Xiang: I can't let this doctor treat me. I've been trained as a medicine man in Mujiabao for many years. My blood carries drugs and poisons. If anyone gets my blood, they will faint if they get too little, and die if they get too much.
The baby in my belly will never grow up and cannot be born. Even if it is born by chance, it will be dead.
But she couldn't tell these words to Village Chief Liu now, and she couldn't let the doctor see her injury.
"Doctor, please take a look at my son. He is covered in wounds. The wounds on his shoulder and back are too deep. The wolf ate two pieces of his flesh off alive."
The village chief's wife looked anxious.
He was also dissatisfied with the village chief. His own son was so seriously injured, but he only had eyes for his daughter-in-law.
The daughter-in-law is pregnant with their grandson, who has not been born yet. Even if he is born, in her heart, her son is more important than her grandson.
"He's a grown man, and he just got some flesh wounds. Why bother to see him? Let the doctor take a look at my daughter-in-law and prescribe some medicine. You should follow the doctor to get it. What if something happens to our grandson..."
The village chief stopped talking.
The second brother, Xiao Liu, became anxious.
"Mom, just listen to Dad. I'm fine. Let the doctor see Muxiang first."
"I don't want it. Show it to my husband first."
Bai Suzi was touched when she heard the family giving way to each other. They were on the road to exile, and if the injury was a little serious and treatment was delayed, it would be easy to get infected and die. The young couple gave way to each other, and they were really loving.
"Don't push me. I'll take a look at him first. He's seriously injured and needs treatment. Then I'll take a look at you."
Bai Suzi looked at the wound on Muxiang's leg. The arrow shot deep enough. If it was not treated properly, his leg would become lame.
Then he looked at the young man lying in the shack. He was badly injured, his clothes were torn, his body was covered in blood, and two blood holes were still oozing blood. He needed to be treated quickly.
"That--"
Bai Suzi ignored Village Chief Liu's words and squatted down to treat Xiao Liu's injuries.
Hey, although the young man's wounds were serious, the poison in his body was even more serious. It should be more likely to kill him than his wounds.
Bai Suzi frowned.
"Have you ever been to a doctor before? Have you ever been poisoned?"
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Liu and Muxiang's faces changed.
Mu Xiang: The poison in Mujiabao is hard to understand and unknown to the world. How could this grassroots doctor in the ordinary exile team see that Xiao Liu was poisoned? Hehe, if they had known that Bai Suzi was an imperial physician, they would never dare to let this doctor treat Xiao Liu. These two people regretted it so much.
"What kind of poison? Doctor? Are you saying my son has been poisoned? Is it serious?"
The village chief's wife became nervous.
"It's a very rare and vicious poison. It has already entered the heart and lungs and there's no cure."
Upon hearing this, the village head's wife sat down on the ground, stunned by the fear.
"Doctor, you said I was poisoned? How long can I live?"
"It can take up to three months. After three months, he will be paralyzed and then die."
Bai Suzi's words shattered the last glimmer of hope on Xiao Liu's face.
"Doctor, please, can you take another look at my son? You can see that he's been poisoned, so there must be a way to cure it, right?"
The village chief's wife held Bai Suzi's hand, tears streaming down her face.
"It has been raining for too long and too many times. Even gods can't save us."
Bai Suzi looked at the village head's wife holding his hand, and he took her pulse.
"You are seriously ill. Your energy and spirit are all drained away. You won't live more than two years."
Bai Suzi simply treated Xiao Liu's external injuries, turned around, took out the surgical tools directly from the medicine box, quickly removed the arrow from Mu Xiang's leg, bandaged it, and left.
"Mom, please stop crying."
Xiao Liu saw his mother sitting on the ground crying. He felt sad, "Muxiang, my dear wife, I am sorry. I can't go on with you. When our son is born, let my mother raise him. If you want to leave again, you can go. If you don't want to leave."
Xiao Liu looked at his mother.
"Mom, if Muxiang doesn't want to leave, you have to love her more for me in the future. I am sorry that my son is unfilial and makes me sad."
Xiao Liu struggled to get up and kowtowed to his mother several times.
Then he turned to the village chief Liu and said, "Dad, I am an unfilial son. Let me kowtow to you a few more times."
Just as Xiao Liu was about to kowtow, the village chief's wife pulled him back and stared at the village chief thoughtfully.
"Liu Quande, it's you. You poisoned my son, right?"
"Look, your son is sick, and you are so anxious that you are confused. What nonsense are you talking about? I am his father, I can give him medicine."
Village chief Liu was startled when his wife suddenly called him by his full name.
"It has been raining for a long time, and many times. It is determined to take my son's life. Who else in this family wants my son's life? Except you?"
"I'm his father, I can't possibly—"
"You are not his father. I finally understand. You killed my son because of her, right?"
The village head's wife stared at Muxiang's belly fiercely, "The baby in her belly is yours, right?"
"mother--"
Xiao Liu was startled.
"You're crazy."
The village chief was furious.
"Mother-in-law, I know you don't like me because my husband loves me and ignores you. But no matter how much you dislike me, you can't throw dirty water on me like this. You let me -"
Before Muxiang could finish her words, she was interrupted by the village head's wife.
"Okay, put away your fake gentleness, okay? I'm not a man, I won't be gentle with women."
"Mother, don't talk about Muxiang like that, mother——"
Xiao Liu's hand was grabbed by the village head's wife.
"Son, it's all your fault."
The tears in the eyes of the village head's wife fell on Xiao Liu's face, "Back then, your mother took you to remarry and made Liu Quande his second wife. You were only one year old at that time, so you naturally didn't know that he was not your biological father. Liu Quande was so cruel - think about it, he brought Muxiang home to make her your wife. Muxiang was not his good friend's daughter at all."
The village head's wife's eyes were filled with hatred. "I caught him and Mu Xiang doing things several times. But I didn't expose him. Because I thought he was good in everything except this one. In the past, he also did this to my eldest daughter-in-law..."
