Seeing Gu Xin's nervous look, Huo Junhao wiped his hands on his apron and headed to the pharmacy.
Upon hearing that Lu Zheng was injured, Xue Qianyu also came out.
He looked at Lu Zheng with a puzzled expression: Where are you injured?
Lu Zheng glanced at his hand that was being held.
Xue Qianyu looked over and stared speechlessly at Lu Zheng. Is this what you call an injury?
"Brother Yuanyuan, sit down first, I'll go get some water! My sister said we can't use the well water, we have to use hot water." Gu Xin pushed Lu Zheng to sit on the small stool at the entrance of the main room.
Then I went to the kitchen to get water, washed it with clean water, applied soap to the surrounding area, and rinsed it again.
Then he took out the ointment from the first-aid kit and applied it to the wound.
The wound wasn't too big, but it wasn't too small either; it was right on the palm of my hand, and some of the flesh was turned outwards.
Gu Xin applied the ointment, then found a piece of gauze in the medicine box and wrapped it up.
Xue Qianyu and Huo Junhao looked at Gu Xin speechlessly. "We men get cut like this and we call it an injury?"
You're making a mountain out of a molehill, aren't you?
After Gu Xin finished doing all that, she looked up at Lu Zheng and asked, "Brother Yuanyuan, does this ointment feel very cool when you apply it?"
Lu Zheng nodded: "Yeah, it cools me right up to my heart!"
Gu Xin laughed: "You'd better be careful in the future, it wouldn't be good if you had a scar. Even if it's not on your face, you're a dashing and handsome young master, you can't have any scars on your hands."
Lu Zheng obediently replied, "Yes, I will definitely remember Doctor Gu's instructions!"
Huo Junhao sneered, "Brother, Xin Xin, are you two ever going to stop?! You call this an injury?"
Gu Xin turned and glared at Huo Junhao: "Huo the Prodigy, this afternoon you'll come to the fields with my uncle! Let the grass cut you a bit, see if it hurts!"
Xue Qianyu asked, "Xinxin, your brother Yuanyuan injured his right hand. It's so serious that he can't hold chopsticks to eat. Do you still have to feed him?"
Gu Xin proudly raised her chin: "No need! Second Brother Xue, my Brother Yuanyuan is amazing! He can eat and write with both hands. My dad even said that Brother Yuanyuan's left-handed writing is better than most students'!"
Xue Qianyu: "..."
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Yes, Second Uncle is right. At least my left hand is better at writing than that of a child prodigy!"
Huo Junhao protested, "What did I do! I didn't do anything! Bro, are you dragging me into this again? I'm just called a prodigy, but it's not like I called myself that. Do you have to keep putting me down like this?"
Gu Xin patted Huo Junhao on the shoulder: "Prodigy Huo, Brother Yuanyuan is doing this for your own good! He's encouraging you! He's encouraging you to surpass my father as soon as possible and try to pass the academy exam, although the chances are slim!"
Huo Junhao: "...You might as well not comfort me at all!"
Gu Xin laughed: "My dad is very capable, it's normal that you can't beat him. Besides, he's so old, he can't compete with you for the title of prodigy! As long as you rank second, you'll be a prodigy all the way. When my dad becomes the top scholar and you become the second-place scholar, you'll be the youngest second-place scholar. Others achieve the highest rank six times, but you can say you're second six times. What name should you choose?"
Lu Zheng: "Always second best!"
Gu Xin's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, yes, the eternal runner-up, the youngest ever to achieve this feat, that's amazing! I don't know if anyone will ever come after you, but there's absolutely no one like you before. You're definitely the first person to achieve second place in all six rounds of the imperial examinations! You'll be recorded in history!"
Huo Junhao: "Gu Xin, you're not cute at all! You're just stabbing people in the back! I'll never marry someone like you!"
Gu Xin blinked innocently: "I don't plan to find a husband like you!"
Huo Junhao: "...I'm leaving! Humph! Don't expect me to work for your family anymore!"
Gu Xin: "As long as Yuan Yuan is here, that's enough!"
Huo Junhao: Waaaaah, Sisi is still cuter, Xinxin is too much!
