Chapter 230 As long as we are alive, the family is complete.
"Besides, the important thing now is not whether the leg can be reattached. He is already running a fever due to the infection of the wound, plus he has suffered a severe blow to the brain. If this continues, he will die in a few days!"
Xiao Zhihe was a little unsteady on his feet, and Xiao Wende beside him quickly supported him.
"Grandfather, aren't the officers supposed to just take people to jail? Why were my second uncle and my brothers injured?"
Ruan Mei sobbed and said incoherently, "When the government came to arrest someone, your uncle got into an argument with the officers in a fit of rage, so the government punished him for defying the imperial edict."
"The weather was getting colder and colder, and your second uncle was afraid that we and the children would freeze to death in prison, so he argued with the jailers several times. The last time, they killed us..."
"He was tortured for two days. The child and Mu watched him being tortured, and it seemed that they were also mentally traumatized."
Now everyone understood why the two children and their mother behaved like this.
Xiao Zhihe was also extremely sad. He knew that the emperor had deliberately done the exile for him, but seeing his own children like this, he felt heartbroken.
After hearing what Ran Qingxuan said, Xiao Zhihe didn't care how old he was and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ran Qingxuan.
“Ran, I know that the Xiao family’s confiscation has nothing to do with the Gu family, and we will not follow the emperor’s wishes and become your enemy.
But please, since we have no ill intentions, save my son. I kowtow to you..."
How could Ran Qingxuan dare to accept such a great honor? He quickly stood up and rushed over to support the person.
"Grandpa Xiao, you don't have to do this. I would have saved him even if you didn't tell me."
"Really?"
Xiao Zhihe and Ruan Mei looked up in disbelief, and looked at Ran Qingxuan with tears in their eyes.
"I'm not lying, but there are some things I need to make clear to you before you start treating me."
"Okay, we can accept it no matter what it is."
Ran Qingxuan pointed at Xiao Zhe's leg and said in a deep voice: "There are several bones missing from his legs. Even if I find a way to connect the other broken bones, he will become lame in the future because of the missing bones in the joints."
"If you can accept it, I will continue to treat him. Otherwise, if these problems recur after he can pass away, I am afraid that I will be accused of poor medical treatment!"
Ran Qingxuan's words were very direct. After all, the missing bones were at the joints, and being able to connect them and walk was already her limit.
Without waiting for Xiao Zhihe to respond, Mu Qing, who had been stunned the whole time, suddenly spoke.
"Heal him. Even if he is lame, we will heal him. Anyway, we will all be ordinary people in the future. We don't care whether he is disabled or not. As long as he can live, our family will be complete!"
"Daughter-in-law..."
Mu Qing's words moved everyone present, and the women of the Gu family were touched and agreed in their hearts.
If they were in such a situation, they would also hope that their husbands would wake up, at least they would still be alive!
Seeing that they had no objection, Ran Qingxuan nodded with a firm look in his eyes.
"In that case, I will treat his other injuries first. Once the swelling on his legs goes down and his fever subsides, I will treat him immediately."
"Okay, okay, thank you very much, Mrs. Gu."
Ran Qingxuan didn't care about their names and started the treatment.
The process was naturally horrific. The cloth on Xiao Zhe's legs had stuck to his legs, and Ran Qingxuan had to use a scalpel to cut it open bit by bit.
As a mother, Ruan Mei was heartbroken to see her old son suffer such a terrible crime without moving a muscle.
Fortunately, Li Ping was there to support the person, otherwise she would have definitely pounced on him.
The surface wound has been cleaned, and now the important thing is to give Xiao Zhe an IV.
Since the officials from Shuangling City had taken the cart away, after Gu Yanzong got into the donkey cart, the only cart with the tent outside could be used.
After a discussion, the families tied up the light tents and carried them on their backs, leaving the cart to the seriously injured Xiao Zhe.
When Xiao Hongyi saw that each of the women in the Gu family was carrying a tent on their backs, he was so moved that tears filled his eyes.
"I, Xiao Hongyi, will remember everyone's kindness."
The people around stopped Xiao Hongyi from doing this and comforted his family.
"As long as you are a good person, it's fine. Brother Xiao, there's no need to be polite."
Ran Qingxuan took a waterproof mat from the donkey cart and placed it on the quilt under the cart to prevent blood from seeping in. Seeing this, Li Ping also took the quilt and covered her brother-in-law.
Taking advantage of the quilt as a cover, Ran Qingxuan quietly hung up the saline solution containing medicine on him, and she hid the medicine bag inside the quilt above to block the wind.
On the one hand, it will not be easily discovered, and on the other hand, the potion can be injected through the pressure of the quilt.
Nearly forty minutes had passed since all this was done. Seeing this, Bu Wei immediately ordered the team to set off.
Gu Yanchen took the water bag and asked Ran Qingxuan to wash his hands, and asked worriedly: "Are you sure about Xiao Zhe's matter?"
Ran Qingxuan pursed his lips and did not answer immediately.
In fact, this kind of injury could be easily solved in the previous life, with bone replacement or amputation if the injury was too severe...
Of course, this was in ancient times, and such shocking things as amputation were not allowed.
But if it comes to replacing bones, it is a little unrealistic. Of course, if the charity cemetery and the medical clinic in ancient times were in collusion, then just ignore what she said!
Anyway, no matter what, since neither method works, we have to treat it forcefully.
"His case is somewhat special. The broken bones were removed under the meniscus, which is the joint that supports the entire upper body. It cannot be replaced at all."
"Compared to my eldest brother's situation, the two..."
All right! That's what he wanted to ask!
"In my brother's case, the main reason is that he waited too long. The broken bone has already healed. After it is re-broken, the growth will be polished off. The process is long, but once it succeeds, there is a good chance that he will be able to stand up and walk again."
"But you've also seen Xiaozhe's situation. The two are completely different."
Gu Yanchen's mood relaxed a little and he looked at her with a helpless smile.
"You will have to work hard from now on. After all, this matter was caused by me."
"Why think so much? It's just a matter of convenience for me."
Gu Yanchen naturally knew how much pressure was behind her relaxed tone, and all he could do was try his best to make her not worry so much.
Not long after the team set off, a soft and artificial female voice sounded from the middle of the team.
"Sir, I am thirsty..."
Ran Qingxuan felt disgusted and stretched his neck to glance in the direction of the Li family's team.
Because of the Xiao family's matter just now, she didn't pay attention to Bu Wei checking the roster later.
Seeing this, she immediately poked Gu Yanchen's arm.
"Why are there so many women in the Li family team?"
Gu Yanchen turned his eyes away with some disgust and said indifferently: "They are all Li Yuan's concubines!"
"Eh..."
Six women!
"One more and we'll have all the dragons..."
It can be said that these six women have only one thing in common: thin waists and plump hips...
"Li Yuan has a very specific taste."
Even if one was wearing coarse linen clothes, one could still be blinded by the shaking.
