He wanted to touch his wife's face with his other hand, but he couldn't lift it up.
He Yi grabbed his hand and placed it on her face.
"Brother Wen"
Huo Shuwen nodded
It means
I'm fine.
Don't cry
Seeing his wife shed tears
The man on the kang (heated brick bed) used all his strength to say a sentence
Don't cry.
Before going to sleep, Doctor Gu instructed that if Huo Shuwen woke up, it would be best to give him some spiritual medicine to replenish his strength, until he finished refining the elixir.
One down
My vitality will definitely be the same as before.
Even better
Because they gave Doctor Gu elixirs and lingzhi mushrooms without asking for money, the old man felt bad and said...
"How about this, I'll give you 80% of the pills after I finish refining them. You provided all the medicinal herbs, so don't argue with me, okay? I'm going to catch up on some sleep."
After saying that, Doctor Gu went into the guest room and fell fast asleep.
He's over sixty years old. Even with the best care, he can't withstand a day and a night without sleep!
He Yi helped her husband up and fed him a cup of spiritual spring water.
"Feeling better, Brother Wen?"
After drinking a glass of water, Huo Shuwen felt his strength return somewhat.
"Much better, don't worry."
Hearing her husband speak a complete sentence
He Yi was completely relieved.
"Go find Aunt Cen, I need to tell her something urgent."
After hearing this, Erhei immediately lifted the curtain and went to the brothel.
"Junior sister, your uncle is looking for Mother Cen."
The burly, dark-skinned boy said to Er Ya.
Since they became disciples of Zhang Mama, they have addressed each other as fellow disciples.
"Is it urgent? Aunt Cen just went to sleep," Er Ya asked.
"Very urgent"
The round-faced girl sighed and knocked on her door.
When Cen Ang rushed over
Huo Shuwen was already able to get up and speak while leaning against the pillows.
"Brother-in-law, you were looking for me?"
Her eyes were red and bloodshot from lack of rest.
"Sister Cen, quickly go and inform Magistrate Wang that there is a group of Xiongnu cavalry deep within the Black Mountains outside the county."
Upon hearing this news, the room fell silent instantly.
He continued
"Cheng'er and Erhei stepped into the trap they set. After I rescued them, I let them go ahead while I stayed behind to cover their retreat, and then..."
As a result, Huo Shuwen almost met his end.
"This time their cavalry is different."
"What's different?"
Cen Ang asked
"Not to mention the arrows were poisoned, what they were holding were weapons similar to maces."
"A mace?"
"Yes, but not quite, they're just somewhat similar in shape."
The Xiongnu did not possess this weapon, the imperial court had no generals who used maces, and even among martial artists, very few used them.
"That weapon caused blood to gush out like a pillar after it wounded someone; one stab meant certain death."
Huo Shuwen didn't know how he survived after losing so much blood.
He was lucky to survive, but what about the city's army? Can everyone be so lucky?
There is a traitor within.
Cen Ang said
Someone with power and wealth must have been helping them, otherwise the Xiongnu wouldn't have been able to find a master craftsman to forge such a weapon.
"I'll go deliver the letter right now."
The woman didn't even have time to change her clothes before she flew towards the county government office, barely touching the ground with her toes.
