Chapter 73 I want to try to heal my leg
"Maomao——"
"卯卯————"
As Lou Hongjian searched for his younger sister, he passed by his fourth brother's room just as Lou Yansui finished telling her a new story.
He listened intently to the sounds outside, and only when he heard his third brother's footsteps fade into the distance did he dig Mao Mao out of the bed.
The boy's eyes crinkled with joy: "Mao Mao, don't you really enjoy playing with Third Brother?"
Mao Mao clung to his arm, her little face full of lingering fear: "Third Brother and the mothers were all so strange today..."
Lou Yansui suppressed a laugh.
Of course he knows what other people think.
Fearing that the three-year-old girl might be frightened by what happened yesterday, I wanted to comfort her and also try to distract her so that she wouldn't think about what happened yesterday.
Just treat it as a nightmare, and forget about it when you wake up.
However… Lou Yansui glanced at the little dumpling next to her, its chubby little face soft and innocent, without a trace of gloom.
It seems that yesterday's kidnapping didn't leave any mark on her mind, but it gave everyone else, including him, a big fright and left them with psychological trauma.
"Ah Sui!"
Suddenly, the door was flung open, and Lou Hongjian burst in like a whirlwind. When he saw Mao Mao leaning against him, his eyes lit up: "Aha! I knew it! I couldn't find Mao Mao anywhere else, she must be here with you!"
"oops!"
Mao Mao was startled and quickly burrowed under the covers.
But she was no match for her brother's speed. Before she could hide her head inside, Lou Hongjian swiftly pulled her out.
"Why is Mao Mao deliberately avoiding her brother? Does she not like him anymore?" Lou Hongjian deliberately tickled her and said, "I'll be very sad."
Mao Mao giggled as she was tickled, and quickly tried to dodge, but she couldn't escape her brother's palm. She thrashed about like a little turtle that had been flipped over: "Hahaha... No, no, I don't dislike my brother... Fourth Brother!"
The little girl cried out for help, and Lou Yansui rushed over to help, rescuing her from her third brother's clutches.
But he was a man with limited mobility, no match for his third brother.
Lou Hongjian grabbed him and pinned him down, forcefully ruffling his head and messing up his hair. He said fiercely, "A-Sui, you're hiding Mao Mao, that's an even bigger crime!"
"Third brother, no—let me go! Mom! Mom—"
The first wife wasn't called over. Instead, Lou Heming, who was upstairs, heard his brother's cries for help and, thinking something had happened, rushed downstairs to check.
Seeing his three younger siblings making a ruckus, he felt both helpless and amused.
Lou Heming pulled his troublemaking third brother away, then dug out Mao Mao from the bottom and gently tidied her messy hair and clothes.
He gave Lou Hongjian a reproachful look: "Hongjian, don't take advantage of the fact that your older brother and father aren't home to bully your younger siblings."
The kidnapping case is closed, but there are still some follow-ups to be made.
The soldiers had worked through the night to capture Scarface and his gang, who had fled. Lou Fengju personally interrogated them. It was said that they had originally intended to capture the young master of the Zhang family, but Mao Mao was implicated.
Even if it was unintentional, these kidnappers are still extremely guilty. They had committed many heinous acts before this and deserve to die.
Lou Heming gently tidied up his younger brother's appearance and bent down to pick up the papers scattered all over the floor.
It was something Lou Yansui was looking at before Mao Mao arrived.
Lou Hongjian said nonchalantly, "I was just playing with Mao Mao and Asui... Huh? What's this?"
He noticed something was off about what Lou Heming was holding.
Lou Hongjian reached out and took it, flipping through it; it was a thick medical report. When he came to an X-ray, he paused, staring at the shape of the bones shown on it, and quickly flipped to the front.
Lou Yansui's name was clearly written on it.
Lou Hongjian suddenly raised his head, looking at the two brothers in surprise, "Second brother, A-Sui, this..."
"What's this?" Mao Mao also saw the X-ray and widened her eyes in surprise: "A bone?"
X-ray machines are a new technology imported from abroad, and only a few large hospitals have them. They can show the internal structure of the human body. Many people in Haicheng have never even heard of them, and Mao Mao has never seen one before.
She thought it was some kind of skull painting; it was the first time she'd ever seen one, and her mouth dropped open in astonishment.
But none of the brothers had time to answer her.
As Lou Hongjian held the thick pathology report, an unbelievable thought surfaced in his mind.
A year ago, after Lou Yansui was rescued from the bandits, he was seriously injured, with his hands and feet broken, and he was on the verge of death.
He underwent several surgeries just to save his life, and he was on the verge of death several times during the treatment.
It is already a great achievement that he can still live a normal life now.
Later, Lou Yansui became despondent and depressed. He locked himself in his room, and after that, he never took out his medical records again.
The whole family knew that Lou Yansui's leg could still be saved.
However, the success rate is not 100%, and it can even be said to be very low. During the treatment process, they also faced failures. Therefore, no one mentioned rehabilitation treatment again.
I'm afraid he won't be able to handle the blow and will become even more depressed.
"Ah Sui, could it be that you..."
Lou Yansui nodded calmly: "Third Brother, I want to try to heal my leg."
