Chapter 145 Chapter 145 Young Marquis
Because of a series of things caused by Fang Bihe, they were delayed on the way, and it was already late at night when they returned to the county town.
The dock was quiet, and the two ships did not attract much attention when they docked.
Yu Jin went to find Yu Li and Fu Wenxiao and said to them, "Sister, brother-in-law, you should go home and rest first. I will stay on the boat tonight and find someone to unload the cargo after daybreak."
Besides the fact that she was worried about handing the cargo on the ship over to others to look after, there was also an extra ship this time.
This is her boat, and she was quite worried before it was registered with the government.
Yu Li did not refuse and handed these matters over to her with confidence.
After last night's battle, she has some confidence in her sister's fighting ability. She believes that next time she encounters such a thing, Yu Jin will no longer be flustered and will know how to fight the enemy.
"By the way, that Mr. Fang..." Yu Jin asked hesitantly, "Should we find a place to settle him down?"
She was thinking about how to settle Fang Bihe.
This man is Fu Wenxiao's friend. For this reason alone, he should be well settled, given a place to recuperate, and a doctor should be found to see him.
There were only some common medicines on the ship. His injury looked quite serious, so he was only applied some hemostatic medicine, which had no effect at all.
In the evening, he thought the situation was not good, but there was no doctor on the boat, and there was no village or shop nearby, so he didn't know where to find a doctor for him.
I just hope this person can hold on and not die, otherwise she will definitely feel guilty.
Yu Jin said, "Sister, why don't you let him rest on the boat for a night, and I'll find someone to rent a house for him tomorrow."
We have to rent a house with a quiet environment that is suitable for recuperation, and also arrange someone to take care of him.
Yu Jin never thought of letting Fang Bihe live in the store.
She rented two houses in the county town, both of which were shops in the front and people living in the back, but the houses were full with just them and there was no way to accommodate Fang Bihe.
If he lives in the store, it won't be convenient for him to recuperate.
At this time, Fu Wenxiao said: "Don't bother, just let him live with us."
Yu Jin looked at her sister, and seeing that Yu Li had no objection, she knew that the two had already discussed it, so she said nothing more.
When they went to look for Fang Bihe, they discovered that he was in a very bad condition, his face was red with fever, and he had fallen into a coma.
There was no choice but to send him to Huichun Hall first.
In the middle of the night, Doctor Xu was woken up. He saw Yu Li and the others. He was already used to it.
Seeing that the person they sent this time was a young man, and the injuries on his body looked like they were caused by some kind of weapon, the look in their eyes was a little subtle.
Doctor Xu was treating Fang Bihe's wounds when he asked, "What is the relationship between this young man and you?"
Fu Wenxiao said calmly: "A friend."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Xu glanced at Fu Wenxiao and understood something.
When he first met Fu Wenxiao, he felt that he was not an ordinary person, not to mention that he was infected with a strange cold poison, which was not something that ordinary people could come into contact with.
The wounded people they sent here now also had injuries not caused by ordinary weapons, and they did not look like ordinary people.
Doctor Xu sighed in his heart, Shanping County is just a remote county in the south, how come there are so many unusual people coming?
After treating Fang Bihe's injuries, Doctor Xu went to get some medicine.
While Doctor Xu was away, Yu Li quietly placed his fingers on Fang Bihe's wrist and transferred some supernatural powers into him to save his life.
There are no anti-inflammatory drugs or antibiotics these days. Once people get sick, they can only rely on themselves.
At this time, Yu Li couldn't help but be thankful that he had awakened the life power that could save lives, not only his own life, but also the lives of others.
When Fu Wenxiao saw this scene, he suddenly stood up and sat next to her.
When Yu Li turned around, he smiled at her and lifted his cloak to block the view of others.
When Yu Jin saw him suddenly sit next to her sister, she looked at the two of them in a daze, and a look of enlightenment appeared on her face.
This time when she went to the provincial capital, she discovered something extraordinary.
Their brother-in-law seems to be very clingy. He is so attached to his sister that he even follows her to the provincial capital and never leaves her side.
It would be more accurate to say that the young couple are inseparable than to say that the husband cannot leave his wife.
Yu Jin looked at them again. It was the first time she saw such a clingy man.
It happened that he was good-looking, but his health did not seem to be that good either, with a pale face. As he sat there quietly, he inexplicably seemed very fragile.
That's why her sister took him to the provincial capital, took him around and protected him all the time...
Doctor Xu came over, gave them the prepared medicine, and asked them to take the injured back and take good care of them, while also reminding them of some precautions.
The clinic does not keep patients overnight. Now they all live in the county town and it is convenient for them to go home, so naturally they are not allowed to stay.
Just at this moment, Fang Bihe, who was in a coma, woke up.
When he looked around carefully and found that his wound had been given new medicine, he knew that they had sent him to the pharmacy.
Doctor Xu was a little surprised. "It seems that this gentleman is in good health and woke up quickly."
No wonder he didn't die after suffering such a serious injury. It seems that this man is very strong and pays attention to exercise regularly.
This is good. With such a serious injury, he was a little worried that this young man wouldn't be able to hold on.
Fang Bihe sat up slowly, first thanked the doctor, then thanked Yu Li and others.
Yu Li asked him: "Can you walk?"
Fang Bihe had a high fever, his lips were dry and peeling, and his face was red, but his eyes were clear. He said, "It's OK, sister-in-law, don't worry."
Seeing that he could walk on his own, Yu Jin said, "Sister, brother-in-law, I will go back to the dock first."
With that, she took the two crew members back.
The two crew members who had just brought Fang Bihe over took turns carrying him. After all, there was a difference between men and women, and Fu Wenxiao was not in good health, so he could only ask the crew on the ship to carry Fang Bihe over.
Fu Wenxiao, Yu Li and Fang Bihe also left Huichuntang.
The county town was exceptionally quiet at night, and the streets were dim, with only a faint moonlight shining on the ground.
Under the moonlight, the three of them walked towards Shuying Lane.
After walking for a while, Fang Bihe could no longer hold on.
He was seriously injured this time, and was later attacked by Yu Jin, causing the wound to tear even more severely. As a result, he could not hold on any longer in the evening, and he had a high fever and passed out.
The reason he was able to hold on until now was thanks to Yu Li passing on some of his supernatural powers to him.
At this time, Fang Bihe found someone supporting him.
The hand of the person who was supporting him was very cold, which formed a sharp contrast with his hot body. He couldn't help but shiver and turned around to see Fu Wenxiao.
Fang Bihe was a little flattered.
He didn't expect that Fu Wenxiao would actually take the initiative to help him. He thought that someone like Master Fu would not even look at someone else if they died in front of him, let alone take the initiative to help the wounded.
Could it be that Master Fu treats me differently, which is why he is so kind to me?
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Yu Li's voice: "Ah Xiao, are you tired? If you are tired, don't help me."
Fang Bihe: ???
Fang Bihe was a little confused and didn't know what Yu Li meant.
What do you mean by "Is Fu Wenxiao tired?" If you are tired, don't help yourself?
He is injured now, right? Compared to himself, who is injured, Fu Wenxiao looks fine, how can he be tired? He is a grown man, why should he be tired?
Fu Wenxiao didn’t know what Fang Bihe was thinking, otherwise he would have definitely thrown him away and left him lying on the road.
He said to Yu Li: "It's okay, I'm not tired for the time being."
Yu Li looked at his face and said, "If you are tired, tell me and I will help him."
It was the middle of the night and there was no way to rent a mule cart to take the injured back. Looking at Fang Bihe's condition, if he was not supported, he might fall down halfway.
Fang Bihe was so badly injured, but he was able to hold on and not fall into a coma, which shows that he has a strong willpower.
"Okay." Fu Wenxiao smiled at her.
In this cold and dark night, his voice was gentle, like the whispers of the night, gently brushing against the heart.
Even though he was not feeling well, Fang Bihe was still stunned by Fu Wenxiao and felt that he had changed a lot.
When Fang Bihe returned to Shuying Lane, his body had reached its limit.
However, he was still conscious, and he clearly saw Yu Li climb over the wall and open the door from the inside.
Fang Bihe: “…”
Fang Bihe was helped by Fu Wenxiao to the study room, where there was a bed. Fu Wenxiao would take a rest here when he was tired of reading.
At this moment, the only guest room in the Fu family was occupied by two children, so he had to be arranged here for the time being.
Let's clean up the guest room tomorrow and then let him live there.
Yu Li carried the luggage to the inner courtyard.
After she put away her luggage, she met Zhou who came out of the house. She was very happy to see Yu Li, "Mother Li, you're back... Hey? Where's Xiao Ge'er?"
"He's in the study." Yu Li said, "Mom, do you have any boiled water? We brought a guest back this time, and he's injured. We need to give him some water..."
People with fever need to drink more hot water.
Zhou was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "There's boiled water in the kitchen, it's still warm, I'll go get it for you."
She thought that the two children would be back in the next few days, so she boiled water every night, for fear that they would come back without a cup of hot water to drink or wash.
It's cold now, so she doesn't let the children at home wash with cold water.
Yu Li filled the kettle with most of the hot water and took it to the study.
Zhou also went over to take a look. When she heard that the guest was injured, she was quite puzzled and a little worried.
The light was on in the study. After Zhou went in, she followed Yu Li to the bed against the wall.
When she saw Fang Bihe lying on the bed, she was shocked, especially when she saw the blood-soaked clothes on Fang Bihe's shoulders, she couldn't help feeling a little scared.
On the way back, Fang Bihe's clothes were wet with blood again.
Yu Li thought Fang Bihe's appearance frightened her, so she hurriedly pulled her out and said, "Mom, don't look at him. He is injured now and needs to recuperate at our house for the time being."
Zhou was a little distracted and asked subconsciously: "How could he be injured so badly?"
"I heard that he was being hunted by someone. He went to look for evidence of some people's crimes, and those people sent people to hunt him down..."
Yu Li explained it briefly.
Although Fang Bihe did not say whose crime he was looking for evidence, it seems that what he was doing was very dangerous.
In her opinion, what Fang Bihe did was similar to what she did when she went to the Kang family to look for evidence. If the Kang family had discovered her infiltration, she would probably have been hunted down by the Kang family.
Zhou did not stay in the study for long, mainly because Yu Li was afraid of scaring her, so he pushed her out and prevented her from having any contact with Fang Bihe.
She had no choice but to say, "Then I'll go to the kitchen and make you some food."
"Okay, thank you mom." Yu Li said sweetly, "I'm hungry." She had just lost her supernatural power to Fang Bihe, and she was very hungry now.
When Zhou heard this, a smile appeared on her face, and her panic-stricken heart, which had been a little frightened by seeing the injuries on Fang Bihe's body, gradually calmed down.
She thought silently that Xiao Ge'er must have his reasons for bringing Young Marquis Fang back, so there was nothing to worry about.
And with Li Niang at home, nothing will happen.
When Yu Li followed Zhou to the kitchen, only Fu Wenxiao and Fang Bihe were left in the study.
Fu Wenxiao picked up the kettle and poured him a glass of water.
Fang Bihe reluctantly sat up, drank the water, and then leaned back weakly, unable to resist asking, "Master Fu, was that Nanny Zhou just now? I seemed to hear my sister-in-law calling her... Mother?"
Having said that, he looked at Fu Wenxiao inquiringly, with a look of doubt on his face.
I always feel that many things about meeting Prince Fu in the South this time were quite shocking to him.
Fu Wenxiao said casually: "My name is Fu Wenxiao now."
Hearing this, Fang Bihe was slightly stunned, and instantly understood what he meant.
He is now Fu Wenxiao, no longer the former prince of the Duke of Zhenguo. Nanny Zhou's current external identity is his mother. As a wife of the Fu family, it is normal for Yu Li to call Nanny Zhou "mother".
Fang Bihe frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed.
He said as if jokingly: "Master Fu, you have changed so much in a few years that I can hardly recognize you."
Fu Wenxiao ignored him and said, "You should rest first. If you have any problems, just bear with it yourself. You don't need to call us."
Fang Bihe: “…”
As expected, it’s that Master Fu again, who is so rude in his words.
-
Fu Wenxiao returned to the inner courtyard and went to the kitchen, where he saw two people busy at work.
To be precise, Zhou was busy making braised pork noodles for them, while Yu Li sat in front of the stove, helping to light the fire while eating snacks to fill his stomach.
This braised meat was braised by Zhou yesterday. It’s cold in this weather, so it can be kept for several days without going bad. I had originally planned to braise it and wait for Yu Li and the others to come back and eat it.
"Li Niang, don't eat so many snacks. The weather is cold, be careful not to get an upset stomach." Zhou warned.
"It's okay." Yu Li said, "My body is as strong as an ox. I can digest anything I eat. I won't get an upset stomach."
Zhou laughed when she heard this, "How can a girl say that about herself?"
Seeing Fu Wenxiao coming in, Zhou couldn't help but think of Fang Bihe in the study and asked, "Is he... is he okay?"
"It's okay." Fu Wenxiao said with a smile, "The doctor said that he is strong and will be able to survive as long as he takes good care of his injuries."
Zhou felt relieved when she heard that. She was really scared when she saw the blood stain on Fang Bihe's shoulder just now.
Zhou made a bowl of braised pork noodles and asked them to eat it first, and then went to boil medicine for Fang Bihe.
After the two finished eating the braised pork noodles, they went to wash up and rest at Zhou's urging.
"Mom, you should also go and rest. Don't get tired." Yu Li said worriedly, "Otherwise, I will boil the medicine."
Zhou smiled and said, "Why do I need you? I have nothing to do during the day, so I can take a rest. But you guys are running around outside, so you must be tired. Go and take a rest."
The two men couldn't persuade her, so they had to go back to their room to rest.
After the medicine was cooked, Zhou took it to the study.
When she pushed the door open, Fang Bihe on the bed opened his eyes vigilantly. Seeing that it was Zhou, he quickly sat up, but this movement involved his shoulder injury, causing him to groan and almost fall back.
"Young Marquis Fang, don't move!" Zhou was startled. She quickly put the medicine down and went to help him.
Fang Bihe paused and said to her, "Madame Zhou, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Zhou said nothing. She handed the slightly cold medicine to him and asked him to take it. Then she looked at his blood-stained clothes and turned to walk out.
After a while, Zhou came back and brought Fang Bihe a set of clean clothes and a basin of clean water.
Zhou said, "This dress is an old dress that Xiao Ge'er wore before. It has been washed very clean. I'll let Young Marquis Fang wear it temporarily. I'll buy you new clothes tomorrow."
Fang Bihe escaped to the ship and had no luggage at all. He had no choice but to wear other people's clothes since they were dirty.
Fang Bihe hurriedly said, "Madame Zhou, thank you!" He was a little embarrassed, "By the way, don't call me Little Marquis, just call me by my name."
"How can this be possible?" Zhou shook her head.
Fang Bihe said, "Of course, you are Brother Fu's mother now. If you call me like that, I'm afraid it will be bad for my sister-in-law to hear it."
Zhou opened her mouth, but thought of Yu Li and finally gave up insisting.
She hesitated and said, "Okay then."
After Fang Bihe changed into clean clothes, Zhou took the water and dirty clothes out and closed the study door.
After bringing the things to the kitchen, Zhou first soaked the bloodstained clothes in hot water, then boiled a pot of water and put a few pieces of charcoal in the stove so that the water could maintain the temperature.
After doing all this, she sat in the kitchen, staring blankly.
**
Yu Li was concerned about Fang Bihe's injury, fearing that he would not be able to hold on and die.
She woke up after dawn and planned to go to the study to see Fang Bihe. If his injuries worsened, she would have to transfer some supernatural powers to him.
As soon as she moved, Fu Wenxiao also woke up.
"Li Niang?" He called hoarsely, "It's still early, you should sleep a little longer."
Yu Li said as he put on his clothes: "I'm going to the study to check on Fang Bihe. He was seriously injured this time. I don't know if his temperature has dropped."
"I'll go with you."
As Fu Wenxiao spoke, he also stood up and put on his clothes.
After getting dressed, they went to the study together.
When they entered the room, Fang Bihe woke up instantly, looked towards the door with cold eyes, his whole body tense.
Seeing that it was them, he slowly relaxed.
Seeing his alert look, which was quite similar to Fu Wenxiao's in the past, Yu Li couldn't help but look at him twice more.
"Brother Fu, sister-in-law." Fang Bihe felt weak all over and his head felt dizzy. He asked weakly, "Why are you here?"
Yu Li said: "Come and see you."
Fu Wenxiao walked over, reached out to touch his forehead, and found that the temperature had not dropped yet and was still steaming hot.
Yu Li also saw Fang Bihe's expression, which seemed quite serious.
She pressed Fang Bihe's wrist and transferred some supernatural powers to him.
"Sister-in-law?" Fang Bihe found that his wrist seemed to be held down by something. When he wanted to look, Fu Wenxiao twisted his face to the side.
Fang Bihe: “…”
Fang Bihe was stunned for a moment, and when he realized what was happening, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He asked weakly, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing." Fu Wenxiao slowly let go of his hand, "I just wanted to see if you were dead."
Fang Bihe was already used to his way of speaking. He felt that this was the Master Fu he knew. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't die. Those people want me dead, but I won't die. When I recover from my injuries, I will go back to scare them."
Seeing that he still had the strength to speak, Fu Wenxiao knew that he was fine.
He stood up and said, "Okay, continue to rest. We won't disturb you while you recover."
Seeing him coldly dragging his wife away, Fang Bihe hurriedly said, "Please at least pour me a glass of water. I'm very thirsty now."
"The water is on the table, pour it yourself." Fu Wenxiao said, ignoring him.
After leaving the room, Yu Li said, "The water on the table is cold. He is sick now and cannot drink cold water. I will go to the kitchen to get him a pot of hot water."
Fu Wenxiao asked her to wash up and have breakfast first, and he would just bring her some water.
She had just lost her supernatural powers to Fang Bihe, so she must be very hungry now. He couldn't bear to see her go hungry, nor did he want her to run around for Fang Bihe.
Fu Wenxiao carried the water back to the study. Fang Bihe opened his eyes and saw him, and couldn't help laughing again.
He smiled and said, "It is my honor to have Master Fu serve me tea. If I tell others, I am afraid they will not believe it."
Fu Wenxiao said, "Don't call me Master Fu."
Fang Bihe looked at him, "Do you really want to be Fu Wenxiao for the rest of your life?"
Fu Wenxiao didn't say anything. He poured him a cup of hot water. After he finished drinking it, he said, "If you want to recover from your injury, watch your mouth. Leave after you recover from your injury." Thinking of something, he said, "By the way, I can't repay you for saving my life. Just give me 10,000 taels."
Fang Bihe looked at him incredulously, "You actually asked me for 10,000 taels?"
When did this Master Fu become so calculating? He even opened his mouth with the smell of money. Where did the noble Master Fu who used to despise money go?
Fu Wenxiao said calmly: "We saved you, isn't that what we should do?"
Fang Bihe: "...It wasn't you who saved me, it was my sister-in-law and her sister."
"Yes, so you have to give them 10,000 taels of silver." Fu Wenxiao asked, "What's wrong with that? Could it be that you, the young marquis, can't even take out 10,000 taels of silver?"
Fang Bihe's mouth twitched, and he finally said, "I don't have ten thousand taels of silver right now."
He was running for his life, where did he get so much silver?
"It's okay." Fu Wenxiao said calmly, "Wait for your people to come, remember to ask them to bring silver."
What could Fang Bihe do? He could only accept it.
Seeing Fu Wenxiao's satisfied expression, he stood up to leave. Suddenly he remembered something and called him: "By the way, when my sister-in-law came here earlier..."
Before he could finish his words, Fu Wenxiao looked at him coldly with a powerful aura. In a trance, he seemed to see the Prince of Zhenguo who stood beside the saint back then, and was also the commander of the Imperial City Division appointed by the saint.
Fang Bihe's face, which was flushed with sickly red due to the high fever, turned a little pale.
He moved his mouth and said with difficulty: "Master Fu, I don't mean anything else, you don't have to do this."
Fu Wenxiao looked at him coldly, and after a long while he turned around and left the study.
The study soon returned to silence.
Fang Bihe lay on the bed, thinking about Fu Wenxiao's reaction just now, and then smiled weakly.
Sure enough, this Master Fu has not changed. The gentle, smiling Fu Wenxiao seen in the past two days was just a disguise to the outside world.
