Song Yuangen was stunned for a moment when he looked at his old father lying on the kang, unconscious.
"My father..."
"It's okay, he's just freezing and has hypothermia. Come here, rub his body with snow. Once he regains consciousness, he'll be fine."
Although Ling Yi knew that losing consciousness in the snow was very dangerous, he believed in Doctor Cheng, just as he believed that his master would be able to hold on until they came to support him, so he did not take Song Lizheng's injury seriously at all.
Song Yuangen, on the other hand, was very distressed, fearing that something might have happened to Song Lizheng.
They carried snow into the house one batch at a time and then rubbed Song Lizheng's limbs.
I was so cold that my nose was running, but I didn't dare to wipe it. I was afraid that if I delayed for a few seconds, he would be in trouble.
Ling Yi shook his hands and stood up, letting out a long sigh. He stayed in the room for a long time, his hands still feeling sore and itchy.
It was only after Doctor Cheng told him to go into the house to look for frostbite cream that Ling Yi left.
Then he saw Ling Jiheng wrapped in a quilt like a bear. Chi Xingyue pulled the quilt to keep him warm and helped him walk out.
Ling Yi knelt on one knee, his face full of guilt: "Master, I'm back late!"
Ling Jiheng didn't care and said with a smile: "It's not too late, I came back just in time. Are you hurt?"
Ling Yi shook his head: "No, Master, I will take you back to Qingfeng Courtyard!"
Ling Jiheng nodded and tossed the heavy quilt upwards, but this pulled at the wound he had just stitched up, causing him to hiss in pain.
However, this cry of pain was nothing compared to the ghostly howls coming from the west wing.
Ling Yi hurried forward and grabbed the quilt, and said to Chi Xingyue very politely: "Madam, let me do it. You are very brave today. Thank you for your hard work!"
Chi Xingyue smiled and gave the other person her seat. She winked at Ling Jiheng and returned to Qingfeng Courtyard.
There are too many injured people, and medication alone won't be enough to cure them in a short time. More importantly, there are concerns about sequelae.
Chi Xingyue felt that she couldn't hurt everyone's feelings. More importantly, she couldn't let on that Ling Jiheng was anything special.
Therefore, she decided to add some spiritual spring water into the soup, and then use the spiritual spring water to boil some nourishing soup that could promote wound healing.
Thinking so, I did it.
I went straight to the small kitchen of Qingfengyuan and saw Shu Muyun busy cooking.
Butler Ling stared at the medicine pot on the small stove, fearing that there would be even the slightest mistake.
Chi Xingyue sent Butler Ling away and asked him to help settle the injured soldiers.
Butler Ling repeatedly reminded Chi Xingyue to control the heat before leaving.
Chi Xingyue lifted the lid and took a look. The water was bubbling, and most of it had been fried.
Hearing the voices coming from the front yard, Chi Xingyue took the wooden spoon from Shu Muyun's hand: "Mom, it seems that Dad is back?"
"Oh, really?" Shu Muyun hesitated and left the small kitchen at the push of Chi Xingyue.
He hurried to Rongsiyuan and missed Ling Jiheng who had returned to recuperate.
With the support of Ling Yi, Ling Jiheng slowly returned to the west room.
I took off my shoes and got on the kang, and asked them about selling couplets in the next county.
"It went quite smoothly. The second and third masters earned more than three thousand taels of silver in total.
It's because we have no foundation, so we have attracted a lot of jealousy, either stealing or blocking.
But they were all dealt with by Ling Si and I."
"How did you and Jinbao meet?"
"It's a coincidence that the day before yesterday, just as the Second Master and I were closing our stall, heavy snow began to fall from the sky.
According to the original agreement, they booked two upper rooms in the inn, and waited for the arrival of the third master, Yinbao and Lingwu in the evening.
I planned to come back after the weather cleared up, but the snow continued to fall until noon the next day.
The second and third masters were worried about their families, so they suggested we brave the snow and continue on. So Ling Si, Ling Wu, Yin Bao and I took turns driving the carriage.
"The roads were slippery in the snow, so we dared not drive the ox cart too fast. We walked from dawn to dusk, and near the county town, we ran into the Zhou family army, who were in a hurry.
After some inquiries, I learned that the Northern Liao people had invaded and destroyed several nearby villages.
The second master panicked and asked us to come back and take a look. General Fu said he was going to Qingshan Village to check the situation, so we went together.
We came with the vanguard and were moving very quickly. The second and third masters, protected by General Fu's men, were the last to fall behind.
Fortunately, I made it in time, otherwise, I would have to die as an apology!"
Ling Yi's eyes were red, he was really ashamed.
He had been secretly groomed for years, but at the crucial moment, he failed. This feeling was like having a thousand-pound stone pressed down on my heart, it was unbearable.
Ling Jiheng shook his head, thinking that everything was God's will.
On the bright side, they united as one and intercepted the Northern Liao army, and they are national heroes.
To think negatively, if God wants to give a person a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, and his body hungry.
Otherwise, how can we trace the source and say that Chi Xingyue’s tricks were a scam and almost caused them to lose their lives?
Are you kidding me?
Ling Jiheng offered some soothing words and asked about other matters. Chi Xingyue in the kitchen was quick to add a large amount of spiritual spring water to the medicine jar.
Then stir-fry the cabbage in the pot slightly, add seasoning and serve.
Chi Xingyue took a bite and found it okay, not too mushy and edible.
Just as he was about to take the steamed bun, he saw Ling Weicheng coming back, dusty and with a worried look on his face.
The reason why Ling Weicheng was worried was not because he didn't make any money outside, nor because Ling Jiheng was injured, but because from what Fu Huanping said, Youzhou was likely to be in chaos.
They had finally arrived in Yunrou County from Jiangning Prefecture after overcoming numerous difficulties. Could it be that the good days would only last a few days before they had to be displaced again?
But this time, where should I go? Without a pass, where can I go? Most importantly, where in the world is safe?
I felt heavy in my heart, but I didn't dare tell anyone for fear of causing a commotion.
Chi Xingyue brought out the food and immediately noticed that something was wrong with Ling Weicheng.
But she didn't expose him, and greeted him with a smile: "Dad, you've worked hard, come and have a meal and go back to the house to rest!"
What she didn't say was that it was almost dawn.
Ling Weicheng suppressed his bad mood and took the food with a smile.
Just as I was about to praise it, I heard Chi Xingyue say, "It was made by my mother herself!"
Ling Weicheng glanced at Shu Muyun in surprise: "Really? Then I must try it!"
Then he went into the west room to see his precious son.
The wounds of the soldiers in Guangrongsiyuan were enough to shock him.
But they didn't expect that their son was injured even more seriously than them!
Ling Jiheng didn't change his shirt because his arm hurt and he couldn't lift it.
Apart from a half-naked inner garment, the only thing on his body was the bulletproof vest given to him by Chi Xingyue.
Fortunately, he was wearing a bulletproof vest, otherwise his intestines would have been spilled all over the floor. His collarbone and spine would also have been seriously injured.
Ling glanced and chose to ignore the strange clothes on Ling Jiheng.
Although it was unclear where the master got them from, it seemed normal for the richest man in Jiangnan to have a few treasures that they had never seen before.
