"I was just in a hurry! It's all my fault for insisting on going back to get the fish. If I hadn't gone, you wouldn't have gotten into this mess!" Aunt Zhang said remorsefully.
Uncle Zhang shook his head. No one had ever encountered this situation before, nor had anyone anticipated it, so no one could be blamed.
Gu Lili rested for a while and finally recovered.
Looking at the broken skin on his hands, he smiled helplessly.
Fortunately, Uncle Zhang was rescued; otherwise, I would probably feel guilty for the rest of my life.
"Uncle Zhang, can we walk?" Gu Lili asked.
Uncle Zhang's leg was covered in blood, a shocking sight. We had to hurry back to have Yang Dadan take a look.
Aunt Zhang helped Uncle Zhang slowly try to get up. Before they could even get up, they saw that Uncle Zhang's brows were furrowed in pain.
Gu Erniu hurriedly ran over to lend a hand.
It took the two of them to help Uncle Zhang up. Gu Lili noticed with her sharp eyes that Uncle Zhang's right leg was dangling in a strange position.
Clearly, Uncle Zhang's leg had run onto the reef and was probably broken.
Gu Lili quickly called out, "Erniu, carry Uncle Zhang on your back! Uncle Zhang's leg is probably broken, he can't be subjected to any more external pressure!"
If we help Uncle Zhang walk, we might accidentally cause him further injury.
If this gets broken, I'll probably have to go to Donghai Town to check!
Gu Erniu was only twelve or thirteen years old; how could he possibly memorize the words of Uncle Zhang, a grown man?
"Let me carry it!" Aunt Zhang quickly said.
Uncle Zhang is quite burly, so Aunt Zhang would probably have a hard time.
Gu Erniu said, "Auntie, it's okay, I'm very strong, I'll carry you!"
Li Ershu walked up to Uncle Zhang and said, "Let me carry it!"
Uncle Zhang was in so much pain that he didn't hesitate any longer and climbed onto Li Ershu's back.
The group climbed onto the beach and headed towards Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou.
"Hey! Isn't this Princess Yongning?"
A familiar voice rang out behind them.
Gu Lili turned around and saw that it was Han Mingyue, who was sitting in front of the carriage.
Gu Lili rolled her eyes at him instantly. This guy, why is he so persistent?
She continued walking forward, and the others, seeing that Gu Lili didn't speak to him, ignored him and continued to follow her.
Han Mingyue wasn't angry. She was going to live in Guzhuang, so she still needed to clear up the misunderstanding between them.
Han Mingyue looked up and saw Uncle Zhang on Li Ershu's body. It was obvious that he could also tell that Uncle Zhang's leg was injured.
Han Mingyue said, "Oh dear, this uncle's leg injury is quite serious. He needs to go to the clinic quickly, otherwise it will be terrible if it causes long-term problems!"
Han Mingyue quickly jumped off the carriage road. "Quick, help this uncle into my carriage, and let Laifu take you to town!"
Perfect timing! I can build up my goodwill with the villagers so I can live comfortably in Guzhuang from now on.
Hearing Han Mingyue say this, Gu Lili stopped in her tracks.
Han Mingyue was right about one thing: this leg injury couldn't be delayed. Although she had a spatial ability and could buy medicine, she didn't really understand medical principles.
“Aunt Zhang, this young master Han is the one who donated the Han family school. Why don’t we listen to him and go take his carriage to see him?” Gu Lili turned around and asked Aunt Zhang.
Her original plan was to go home and have Gu Erniu drive the oxcart to take Uncle Zhang to see it.
However, no matter how fast the oxcart runs, it can't be as fast as a horse-drawn carriage.
Also, the carriage can go directly into the city and stop in front of the clinic, saving them the trouble of making a trip.
Aunt Zhang said with some alarm, "Your Uncle Zhang and I are filthy; we're afraid we'll soil Young Master Han's carriage!"
After saying that, Aunt Zhang looked at Han Mingyue and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
Han Mingyue waved her hands repeatedly, saying nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? We're from the same village now, so we should help each other!"
As he spoke, he gestured to Li Ershu to carry Uncle Zhang over.
Seeing Gu Lili nod, Li Ershu carried Uncle Zhang onto the carriage.
"Young Master Han, I'm really sorry to trouble you. I'll just sit on the edge of this carriage. My leg is bleeding, and I'll make your carriage dirty!" Uncle Zhang said anxiously.
Uncle Zhang's leg was cut by an oyster, and the wound kept bleeding.
Han Mingyue smiled and said, "It's alright, perfect timing! I have a set of dry clothes in my carriage, go in and change!"
Uncle Zhang couldn't resist Han Mingyue's enthusiasm, so he had no choice but to go inside.
Gu Lili called Gu Erniu aside and handed him the things she was holding.
"Erniu, this is money, for Uncle Zhang's medical treatment later. This is gauze, please treat Uncle Zhang's leg later!" Gu Lili instructed.
Aunt Zhang and Uncle Zhang certainly wouldn't carry money with them, and even if they did, the incentive wouldn't be much.
Uncle Zhang looks quite badly injured; he'll probably need some money.
Gu Erniu accepted the money and jumped into the carriage, with Aunt Zhang following behind.
However, Han Mingyue jumped down.
He came to Gu Village today because he had something to do, so he will not leave until he has finished his business.
"Laifu, take Uncle and Auntie to see a doctor about their legs. Come pick me up at the Yongning Township Head's house later!" Han Mingyue waved to Laifu.
Laifu nodded, turned the horse around, got into the carriage, and whipped it towards Donghai Town.
Han Mingyue then naturally went back with Gu Lili and her group.
He also very discerningly picked up Aunt Zhang's bucket, which was almost full of fish.
Gu Lili couldn't help but chuckle. She hadn't expected that the children of this wealthy family would do such work.
The group quickly approached Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou.
There were five buckets of fish in front of them. Gu Sigou definitely couldn't lift them, but Gu Huanhuan could barely lift one bucket.
Li Ershu took the lead and brought out two buckets of fish ahead of time. Gu Lili looked at the four buckets of fish in front of her and was immediately at a loss.
They were excited while picking them up, but once they got back, they couldn't take them back.
Gu Lili was still thinking about how to get the bucket back when she saw Han Mingyue put down the half-full bucket of fish she was holding.
They replaced the fish with two buckets full of fish on the ground, and then followed closely behind Li Ershu toward Gu Lili's house.
Gu Lili gave Han Mingyue a grateful look, then picked up the remaining two buckets of fish herself.
"Huanhuan, Sigou, let's go home!" Gu Lili said to Gu Huanhuan and Sigou.
Gu Huanhuan quickly said, "Sister, your hand is injured, let Si Gou and I carry one bucket!"
Gu Huanhuan had noticed that Gu Lili's hand was bleeding long ago, and now she only regretted that she was too weak, otherwise she should have been the one to carry those two buckets.
Although Gu Lili had secretly applied medicine to her hands earlier, they were still burning with pain, so she stopped trying to force herself.
He handed over the smaller bucket.
Because she was carrying things and her hand was injured, Gu Lili had to rest every now and then.
