Before the group that had gone out to search could even set off, two people came running from afar through the alley. One of them, a boy, was carrying a middle-aged man on his back, and they were walking very fast.
When the group was at the alley entrance, Huo Xiaolong smelled a bloody odor coming from where they were.
"elder brother!"
The little dumpling slid down from Madam Ye's arms and ran towards the group.
"What's wrong with Dad!"
The person on the boy's back was Huo Shuwen. The man was covered in blood, and several broken arrows were stuck in his back.
"Let's talk about it when we get home."
Huo Xiaocheng rushed home without stopping
Upon entering the house, He Yi saw several instructors and Cen Ang at the Huo family home. Seeing Huo Shuwen lying unconscious on her son's body, He Yi felt unsteady on her feet.
Cen's mother helped her up and then helped her into a chair.
"Sister, don't panic. The family can't be without you. I'll go and fetch Doctor Gu."
There was no time to send the waiter to fetch a doctor, so Cen Ang tiptoed on the ground and used his internal energy to move swiftly.
Huo Xiaolong, who followed his brother into the room, already had tears in his eyes.
"elder brother"
The little girl cried out in a pitiful voice.
"Dragon, go play with the ladies at the brothel. Daddy's tired, I'll sleep for a bit and then wake up."
If she were really four years old, she would have been fooled by these words. She looked at her mother, who was in a daze and whose hands were trembling, and then at Erhei, who was sitting sprawled at the door.
Huo Xiaolong said
"Brother, I know Dad is injured. Don't bluff me. How did Dad get hurt? Is it serious?"
Realizing he couldn't coax her, the boy had no choice but to hug his sister tightly.
"It's alright, don't worry, Dad will be fine."
Now is not the time to ask why. The little dumpling calmed down and took He Yi's hand to the kitchen.
"mother……"
My own mother didn't react.
This was the first time He Yi had seen Brother Wen covered in blood and unconscious.
She remembered him as always being full of vigor and high spirits, so this situation was a huge blow to her.
"mother!"
He Yi was brought back to her senses by Huo Xiaolong's call. At this moment, she also came to her senses. She still had children and a young daughter who had not yet grown up. She had to support the family while her husband was away.
"What's wrong, Long'er?"
As He Yi asked the questions, her hands didn't stop; she lit all the stoves and started boiling water.
"Mother, I'll prepare some medicinal herbs first, you can force-feed them to Father later."
Yes
Her daughter has the elixir, so Brother Wen will definitely be alright, right?
He Yi nodded
"good"
She went into the main room and, under the pretext of changing her husband's clothes, drove everyone out.
He Yi carried a basin of spiritual spring water that her daughter had prepared and fed her husband a cup. Seeing that his pale face on the bed had improved slightly, He Yi slowly felt relieved.
"Brother Wen, hang in there a little longer, walk a little further with me."
The woman finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears, sobbing against her husband. Her cries echoed out of the room.
The brother and sister sitting at the door also shed tears along with the crying.
With one's own father lying in bed with an uncertain future, who is stronger than whom? Human hearts are made of flesh and blood.
Hearing the bustling noise at the Huo family, the girls from Fengyue Tower also rushed over. Er Ya inquired about the general situation and looked at Chun Ying. Usually, when Cen Mama was not in the tower, it was Manager Zhao or she who made the decisions. Zhao Kai had gone to greet Cen Ang, and now only Chun Ying was left.
"Go and tell Ah Cai to hang the lamps in the dark."
"yes"
Ping'er stepped back
The girl's heart melted as she looked at the two siblings, one big and one small, crying in front of her.
"Don't cry."
She handed the handkerchief to Huo Xiaocheng and said...
Chunying then picked up the little girl.
"Uncle is a lucky man; things will definitely get better."
She made Huo Xiaolong look at her, giving him a look that only the two of them could understand.
You have the magic elixir, what are you afraid of?
After a cup of tea, Cen Ang carried Doctor Gu into the house.
"Dr. Gu, thank you for your trouble."
If a doctor were to be lifted by his clothes and spun around a few times using acrobatic techniques, his heart would definitely leave the ground.
Doctor Gu is different; he was a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the martial arts world) man in his youth and was used to being dragged around.
Cen Ang was already being quite gentle, so Doctor Gu nodded and followed the young man into the room. He looked at the man's wounds and checked his pulse.
Doctor Gu said
"With such severe injuries, the fact that he's still breathing shows a very strong will to live."
The old man stroked his beard a couple of times and said...
"He was struck by four arrows in the back, and had extensive bleeding wounds in his waist and abdomen. Most importantly, the arrows were poisoned."
He Yi listened to Doctor Gu's words, her hands trembling like a sieve, and she forced herself to calm down.
Ask the Way
"Is there still a cure, Doctor Gu?"
After a moment's thought, Doctor Gu said...
"My lady, please wait for me while I go out to consider the prescription."
The old man had a plan in mind. It wasn't that he couldn't be saved. The key was whether he still had the same elixir that Cen Ang had taken before. Not only did he need it, but he needed a lot of it. The poison on the arrow was made by a Xiongnu priest, and it wasn't made from any common herbs or medicinal plants.
I heard
More than ten years ago
The Xiongnu received a strange stone from the sky.
The poison was the powder scraped off that strange rock.
More than ten years
Dr. Gu had only encountered one case of poisoning.
Give it your all
He did not die a peaceful death.
He died from festering sores all over his body.
"Miss Cen Ang"
Doctor Gu called out
"Dr. Gu, is the person inside still treatable?"
The old man pursed his lips and said...
"It can be cured, but..."
"that is?"
Cen Ang felt anxious. Couldn't these scholars just speak their minds?
"It's that elixir that was delivered last time; I reckon we'll need a lot more."
How much do you want?
Hearing this
Mrs. Cen was relieved and asked
"I guess it'll take a whole pot."
"A pot?"
