Chapter 564: One of the Parties
Although she was a little shy, the little girl was still concerned about her father in the room and spoke timidly.
"Hey, your father has hands, why don't you just scratch yourself..."
Jin Guihua was speaking loudly, but it was obvious that she was talking to the people in the room.
Ran Qingxuan quickly stopped her when he heard this: "Don't scratch it. Dirt and grime are hidden in the gaps between your fingernails. Scratching will definitely aggravate the injury."
"What should I do? His father has already let me scratch him several times..."
Jin Guihua obviously didn't quite understand all this, but Jin Tang had just been rescued, so she naturally believed what Ran Qingxuan said.
After thinking for a while, Ran Qingxuan touched the cloth bag he was carrying and said, "I still have some leftover medicine here. Why don't I take a look at Brother Jin's wound?"
Jin Guihua was delighted to hear this and readily agreed.
"Thank you very much ma'am, I'll take you in."
A man in his forties was sitting on the kang. He felt a little awkward when he saw a man and a woman come in. There was plenty of light in the room because of the lamp made of animal oil.
The man also heard the conversation between the two and had a simple smile on his dark face.
"Excuse me, madam..."
"No problem."
After Jin Guihua helped the man up, she introduced him, "Madam, this is the father of my child, his name is Yu Chang."
"Didn't I just tell you that this lady saved Jin Tang, she's amazing!"
Ran Qingxuan had been praised for his medical skills before, but it was rare to see such sincerity.
Seeing this, he smiled and said, "Where is your injury, Brother Yu? I just wanted to check it for you before I rest."
"On the legs. Let me pull it open."
As Jin Guihua was about to lift the quilt, Yu Chang's face instantly turned red, and then he frantically pulled the quilt to stop her from lifting it.
"What are you doing?"
Yu Chang's face was full of embarrassment, and he whispered: "I am a grown man... this is not good..."
The room was not big, and Ran Qingxuan could hear even the quietest words, so he walked forward after hearing what was said.
"If you have nothing else to do, then don't worry about it. Brother Yu, don't worry about me being a woman. Just treat me as a doctor!"
Yu Chang was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he was not as open-minded as the woman.
"Then I'll trouble you, ma'am."
Jin Guihua lifted the quilt and unwrapped the layers of bloody cloth. Ran Qingxuan walked forward and took a casual look in the light of the oil lamp, then his hand that was reaching for the cloth bag paused instantly.
"This injury seems to be the same as the one on Uncle Jin's son?"
Yu Chang nodded and sighed, "It's the same. Atang went out with me. If I don't rescue him, I'm afraid I will be speechless to my cousin Jin's family..."
Upon hearing this, the couple's eyes lit up instantly.
They went out together, rescued people, and suffered the same injuries. Doesn't that mean Yu Chang also entered the island?
Gu Yanchen mentioned it casually as if unintentionally.
“I heard this morning at the dock that a fishing boat had landed on an uninhabited island and almost couldn’t come back.
Judging from the situation, could the fishing boat mentioned on the dock be the one where Brother Yu is? ”
"Well, who else could it be but us? We have gone down there before, but the pirates were rampant near the end of the year. I said we should not go down there, but the captain said there was not enough fresh water and asked us to go down to get water."
Gu Yanchen started a conversation, and Yu Chang also started talking. Ran Qingxuan pricked up his ears and listened while treating his wounds.
"I know that. As the year draws to a close, more ships will come and go to the small islands they pass by to find water. Pirates will sometimes lie in ambush there, resting while waiting for fish to bite."
Yu Chang slapped his thigh and nodded repeatedly: "Who said it wasn't? This time it's really unlucky. Usually, the ten of us push the buckets to the island to get water, and Atang always stays on the boat and sleeps."
"I don't know what this little bastard was thinking this time, he insisted on going down with us, and he went down. He couldn't sit still and kept wandering around, and ended up falling into a hole in the ground when he was looking for a place to use the toilet.
When we found a rope to pull him up, he had disappeared again. ”
"A hole in the ground? Why is there a hole in the ground on such a nice island?"
Yu Chang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
"The island was gloomy and spooky. Every time we went down there, we just fetched water and left without looking around. But Atang was unlucky and fell into a hole while taking a shit."
"You are so careless with your words. You are still talking nonsense even though your wife is here..."
Jin Guihua was so angry that she pinched Yu Chang. The latter grimaced and smiled awkwardly.
"Then how did you find the person? Didn't you say he disappeared after you let the rope down?"
Ran Qingxuan pretended to be curious, his hands never stopped moving and his eyes never left the wounds.
Yu Chang waved his hands and sighed, "Don't mention it. This guy saw a path in the cave, lit a fire and went in. How can you say he is so brave? If it were me, I would definitely be scared."
"Oh my God..." Jin Guihua was speechless, holding her forehead and muttering.
"This bull-like person is not even as brave as his own cousin, and he still has the nerve to say it out loud."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Gu Yanchen quickly asked.
"Then you must have been injured in the cave. Maybe it was some hidden weapon?"
Yu Chang shivered while hugging the quilt, as if he had thought of something terrible.
"That thing is scarier than a hidden weapon. There are so many of them. This is the first time I've seen such scary things."
Ran Qingxuan had already treated the cut on Yu Chang's leg. She was holding gauze in her hand, and the white substance on it was the same as the one taken out from Jin Tang.
"Brother Jin, what you are talking about...could it be a fish that looks like a pomfret, but has a red belly and teeth?"
"Oh, yes, yes, how did you know, ma'am?"
"It was just as you said. I heard screams coming from the end of the cave from a long distance away. I went over to see Atang struggling in the water. The fish that kept surging in the water bit him directly and wouldn't let go.
I was bitten on the leg when I went to save him under unknown circumstances..."
As if thinking of that scene, Yu Chang's face looked a little bad.
"Did Brother Yu see anything else?"
Yu Chang didn't react to what Gu Yanchen meant by asking this question, and said without even thinking, "When I rescued Atang from the water, I seemed to see someone being dragged away on the ground opposite the underground river."
Gu Yanchen's whole body trembled. Ran Qingxuan noticed it and quickly approached him and grabbed his clothes from behind, signaling him not to worry.
"After Atang was pulled up, I hurried out as well. However, after I had taken a few steps, dozens of pirates with swords in their hands immediately rushed out from all around."
Yu Chang covered his eyes and thankfully said, "Those guys are obviously bad guys. The one in front chased us and wanted to kill us, and the one behind ran straight to the fishing boat and almost pierced a hole in it.
"But fortunately, a passing ship stopped to help, and two men with excellent kung fu saved Atang and me. Otherwise, we would have been eaten by the fish in the water or killed by the pirates..."
