Chapter 1153: Climbing the ladder of fame and wealth (9)
"Where did you find this bloody person?" The old beggar asked in shock when he saw the person that Ao Shichu and his sister secretly carried over.
"We saw him on the road, we can't just stand by and watch him die. My brother and I are living in an inn, and we have no place to take him in, so we have no choice but to leave him with you." Ao Shiyan said to the old beggar embarrassedly, "Don't worry, we will take him away in two days, and even if anything happens, it won't implicate you..."
"Hmph, you have good intentions, but you dare to save this man without knowing his identity. Be careful, you might die in an unknown way one day." The old beggar snorted coldly, but did not drive them away. Instead, he agreed to keep the man.
Ao Shichu stayed to look after the injured man, and asked Ao Shiyan to buy some medicine and bandages. After all, the man was so seriously injured that if he was not treated, his body would be collected soon.
Now that we have carried the person here, in order not to do our work in vain, we have no choice but to save him to the end and send him off to the west.
Ao Shiyan went to the clinic to buy the necessary things without saying a word. He had injured his arm before and knew what he needed to buy. Therefore, after a quarter of an hour, he had bought everything he needed.
It was already completely dark, and the beggar's den was pitch black. Fortunately, Ao Shiyan bought a candle, and Ao Shichu used the dim candlelight to treat the man's wound.
The man had been unconscious for a while, but when Ao Shichu was stitching his wound, he woke up from the pain. Probably knowing that Ao Shichu was saving him, he clenched his teeth, said nothing, and let her do it to him.
"Tsk tsk, I wonder who this kid has offended, he's so cruel." The old beggar came over and saw the hideous wound on the chest of the man Ao Shichu was treating, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Little brother, why are you using a needle to sew his wound?" The little beggar, who was seven or eight years old, was curious about Ao Shichu's use of needle and thread to sew people's wounds. He watched intently with a look of amazement on his face.
"If you sew it up like this, the wound will heal faster." Ao Shichu replied.
"That's amazing, brother. Are you a doctor?" the little beggar asked admiringly.
"I guess I'm half a doctor." Ao Shichu answered as he skillfully threaded the needle into the wound.
The little beggar was reluctant to blink and said enviously, "I wish I could become a great doctor like my brother in the future."
The old beggar looked at him when he heard this, a glimmer of sadness and melancholy flashed in his eyes. He looked at Ao Shichu, but finally pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Sister... I learned some medical skills from my mother before. She is not really good, but she is better than other doctors in treating external injuries." Ao Shiyan said with some pride.
He touched the old wound on his left arm, which only had a scar left, rolled up his sleeves, and said to the two beggars, one old and one young: "Look, my arm was almost cut off by the robbers before. In the end, it was my brother who helped me sew up the wound and saved my arm, so that I didn't become a disabled person."
"Wow." The little beggar exclaimed when he saw the long and hideous scar on Ao Shiyan's arm. From the scar, one can tell how serious his injury was. And Ao Shichu was able to cure such a serious injury. Isn't that amazing?
When the old beggar saw this, he also showed a look of surprise. He looked at Ao Shichu, who was lowering her head to treat the person's wound skillfully, and looked at her with a new and cautious gaze.
Qi Liangjun, who was lying on the broken straw mat, sweating profusely and pale in pain, tried to open his sweat-covered eyes and looked at the scar on Ao Shiyan's face, who was showing off his sister's medical skills to the two beggars. He was thinking... Maybe he was really lucky this time. He met someone who was good at treating external injuries. Maybe he could not only keep his life to take revenge, but also avoid the sequelae that would haunt him for the rest of his life...
Ao Shichu had no idea what her wounded subordinates were thinking. Since she had decided to save him, she would naturally not allow herself to fail to provide thorough treatment to the wounded. Therefore, she was particularly careful when treating Qi Liangjun's wound.
Qi Liangjun had many wounds on his body. His lower leg was broken, his two arms were chopped, and there were two deep knife wounds on his chest where the bones could be seen. It was obvious that the people who attacked him really wanted to kill him. If Ao Shichu and his sister had not passed by that alley today, he would have died there.
In addition to several large wounds on his body, there were some other lighter injuries. His neck was also cut. Fortunately, the cut was relatively light and did not hit the aorta. Otherwise, he would have died from excessive blood loss before Ao Shichu could come to rescue him.
By the time all the wounds on Qi Liangjun's body were treated, more than half an hour had passed. The young beggar was so tired that he leaned against the old beggar and fell asleep.
"Brother, it looks like we can't go back to the inn tonight. We can only sleep here for one night." Ao Shichu packed up the remaining medicine and said to Ao Shiyan.
"How can this be? You...how can you stay out overnight? This is not good!" Ao Shiyan disagreed when he heard it. His sister is a girl, how can she stay out overnight? Even if he brought her with him, it was not allowed!
How could Ao Shichu not see what her brother was thinking? She rolled her eyes and said, "Brother, don't you think about what time it is now? There is a curfew in the capital. Anyone who dares to wander around outside will definitely be arrested by the government."
Ao Shiyan choked up immediately. He forgot that this was not Mobei, but he was still very anxious. Looking at the beggars curled up and asleep in various places around him, how could his sister stay in such a beggar's nest for a night? He didn't care, but his sister just couldn't!
Thinking of this, Ao Shiyan felt annoyed and began to vent his anger on Qi Liangjun, whom he had finally rescued. If it weren't for saving him, he and his sister wouldn't have been trapped here overnight...
So he glared at Qi Liangjun fiercely, and Qi Liangjun, who endured the severe pain all over his body and barely managed to not groan, suddenly felt a chill on his back. Could it be that his body temperature dropped due to excessive blood loss?
Ao Shichu looked at his brother's tangled look with amusement and said, "Brother, what are you upset about? I don't know how many times I followed you on the way to the capital. You are worrying about me now. Isn't it a bit redundant? I am not your brother who can't endure hardships. I will stay here tonight, which is no different from sleeping in the wild before."
What else could Ao Shiyan do? He could only be thankful that his sister was now dressed as a man, and no one knew she was a girl.
"Just rest next to me and don't walk around, okay? It's not safe here." Ao Shiyan reminded her.
