Chapter 228 Rubbing the Injury
When Jiang Luli entered the courtyard, he saw Grandpa Gu sitting in the yard with his eyes closed, with a cold face, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Uncle Gu was also sitting next to them, his cloudy eyes staring at a closed door not far away.
He then remembered that Xiao Fuzi had told him yesterday that he and Lin Yi had developed the antidote and could detoxify Gu Yuchuan at any time.
He thought the Gu family would need a few more days to think about it, but he didn't expect them to send the person over so soon.
He was naturally confident in Xiao Fuzi's medical skills, but the poison was unique and difficult to cure. He didn't know what the success rate was.
Thinking of this, he raised his leg and walked towards the direction of Grandpa Gu.
The uncle was the first to see him and quickly stood up. "Jiangshanchang."
Jiang Luli quickly moved aside to avoid Uncle Gu's bow.
He had never had the experience of comforting anyone, so he could only say dryly, "Don't worry too much, Uncle Gu. Xiao Fuzi is a disciple of the Master of the Divine Doctor Valley. Although he is an outer disciple, his medical skills are recognized by the Master."
The uncle nodded repeatedly. "Believe it, believe it. Of course we believe it."
After saying this, the two looked at each other in awkward silence.
Finally, it was Jiang Luli who spoke first and continued, "Uncle Gu, please sit down for a moment. I still have some classes to finish at school."
The uncle quickly said, "Master Jiang, go and do your work. Don't worry about us."
Having said that, how can one just sit in the yard and not do anything about it?
Jiang Luli called over his personal maid, gave her a few instructions, and then went into the house to look for medicine.
After a while, Jiang Luli's maid and several other maids appeared in the yard carrying a lot of fruits and cakes.
It’s not that no one had prepared these to entertain the two of them before, but the servant guarding the yard had arranged them on his own, just a cup of tea and one or two snacks.
Now Hongxiu’s arrangements are more detailed and appropriate.
Looking at the fruits and snacks on the table that he had never seen before, my uncle was a little dazed.
"Girl, what is this?"
What does this mean? Are you trying to do business with them?
He held his purse tightly. He only had ten cents on him, but he had no money to buy these things that looked very expensive.
Hongxiu is a shrewd person, and Gu's uncle is a simpleton, his thoughts are all written on his face. Hongxiu doesn't even need to guess, she sees through the man at a glance.
She was very surprised. In her twenty years of life, she had never seen such a pure person.
"Don't worry, sir. These are all prepared by our young master. Please enjoy them with peace of mind. If you need anything else, just tell me."
When they were out and about, the servants would address Jiang Luli as "Young Master" in front of outsiders. This would avoid a lot of trouble.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the uncle of the Gu family waved his hands even more anxiously, "No, no, no, there's no need to be so troublesome. Miss, please take these things away quickly. We can just have some tea."
Although my uncle is a simple-minded person, his mother taught them since they were young that free things are the most expensive and you should never think of taking advantage of free things.
He originally thought she was selling something, but he had no money anyway, so he made up his mind that no matter how much the girl talked, he would not buy it.
But who would have thought that they would give it to me for free right from the start.
Wow, all those fruit snacks were given to him for free.
He had never encountered such a good thing in his life.
So he refused without thinking.
Jiang Luli, who was busy delivering medicine to Gu Jiayue, didn't notice at all that because of his order, the maid Hongxiu and the uncle of the Gu family had been arguing for the whole afternoon.
In the end, grandpa was annoyed by the noise and asked to take one third.
Hongxiu breathed a sigh of relief, but she became more interested in the Gu family.
She simply didn't leave and started chatting with the people from the Gu family in the yard.
When Jiang Luli came to the office with medicine, Gu Jiayue and Shi Jingyuan were having a pleasant conversation.
Especially Shi Jingyuan, his eyes were shining so brightly that he was almost sticking to Gu Jiayue.
Jiang Luli quickly stepped forward, grabbed Shi Jingyuan's collar and pulled him back.
Shi Jingyuan, his eyes gleaming with excitement, rolled his eyes at his cousin, grumbling inwardly: "What a coward! He clearly likes the girl but doesn't confess. Every day he acts like a nagging wife, wary of this and dissatisfied with that. What a fool!"
Jiang Luli didn't even spare Shi Jingyuan a glance, instead handing the medicine he'd been kneading all the way to Gu Jiayue. "Rub it on. This is something Xiao Fuzi made herself, and it works pretty well."
Gu Jiayue took the medicine bottle and was about to say thank you, but suddenly found someone pinching her foot.
She quickly lowered her head and saw Jiang Luli squatting in front of her. His hand, with distinct joints and calloused fingers, was rubbing her injured ankle.
"Hiss~Chapter Jiang Shan, what are you doing?" It's not that she is conservative, but anyone would feel embarrassed if their feet were suddenly touched by an outsider, right?
But her foot was injured, so she didn't dare to argue.
Jiang Luli said in a low voice without even looking up, "Let me check if you have any broken bones. Xiao Fuzi and Lin Yi are working on your second brother's detoxification. If there are any broken bones, you have to go to the county to see a doctor immediately."
Hearing this, Gu Jiayue tried hard to control the urge to kick him away and let him do what he wanted.
After a while, Jiang Luli finally released Gu Jiayue's foot. "Luckily, there are no broken bones, but it still looks very serious. I suggest you go to the county clinic."
Gu Jiayue thought about it and realized that she cared more about her body than anyone else, so she would never shy away from seeing a doctor when she was sick.
But she felt that the pain in her foot was much better now than when she first sprained it, and she believed that it would be cured with some medicine.
It would take another day to go from Taohua Village to the county town and back, and there were still many things she needed to deal with at school.
So, she refused and said, "No, since there's no bone injury, I can just apply some medicine. Didn't you say that the potion prepared by Xiao Fuzi is very good?"
Jiang Luli did not continue to persuade her. He knew that Gu Jiayue was not a willful woman and she had her own opinions.
"Then let me help you rub it. This medicine needs to be rubbed in skillfully so that it will heal quickly. Not everyone can do it." As he said this, he glanced at Shi Jingyuan meaningfully.
Jiang Luli was right, so Gu Jiayue handed the medicine to him again. "Thank you, Mr. Jiang."
"You're welcome." Jiang Luli took the medicine, opened the bottle and poured some into his palm, then rubbed it several times before placing his hands on Gu Jiayue's ankles.
"Hiss~"
Jiang Luli had been practicing martial arts since he was young, and he often suffered injuries from falls, and sprains of hands and feet were commonplace, so he was particularly adept at handling them.
It was just a pity for Gu Jiayue, who was grimacing in pain.
Even though he was trying to endure it, he still cried out in pain.
Hearing Gu Jiayue's painful cry, Jiang Luli didn't stop his movements. "Hold on a little longer. This medicine will only work if it's rubbed into the affected area."
Gu Jiayue frowned and closed her eyes. "I know, Mr. Jiang, don't feel any burden."
Shi Jingyuan, who was watching the whole process from the side, almost rolled his eyes to the sky.
Given my cousin's current situation, let alone pursuing the girl, the best outcome would be for them to become brothers.
It’s still up to his younger brother to take action.
