Because of that, He Jiuniang slept in again, and hadn't gotten up even when the sun was high in the sky.
Lu Baichuan planned to raid the prefect's residence today, but he also wanted to wait for He Jiuniang to go out together. So he got up early in the morning to supervise a group of children's exercise, helped Sun Shi thread a needle, and helped Lu Laotou fix his pipe. However, he still couldn't wait for his wife to get up. Instead, he waited for the dying Qin Jian.
"Third Master, something terrible has happened! Lord Qin has been brought back!"
Today it was Xu Dashan's turn to guard the gate. Upon seeing the visitor, he hurriedly came in to announce his arrival.
Fortunately, Xu Dashan was not an inflexible person. He did not make them wait outside, but brought the person back directly.
Therefore, when Lu Baichuan looked up, he saw Qin Jian being carried in by men in black.
"Oh dear, what happened? How did you get hurt like this!"
Seeing this, Madam Sun hurriedly came forward to check. Qin Jian's condition was much more serious than when He Jiuniang brought him back on the road of fleeing famine!
"Master Qin's identity has been discovered, and the people of Qingyin Garden want to kill him."
One of the men in black explained.
"Thank you for your trouble."
Lu Baichuan hurriedly had Qin Jian taken to a guest room, and then went to wake He Jiuniang up to help.
The four people from Qianfan Pavilion were invited to the banquet hall to have something to eat, and all four of them said in unison that they wanted to eat Lu Hei Ya (a type of braised duck).
At the Lu family home, this small request was naturally fulfilled unconditionally. Not only did they provide Lu's Black Duck, but also milk tea, stinky tofu, fried potatoes, and more...
He Jiuniang rushed over to examine Qin Jian without even washing her face. When she saw the injuries all over his body, she exclaimed, "Good heavens!"
"Fortunately, the people from Qianfan Pavilion stopped his bleeding, otherwise he would have bled to death by now."
As she spoke, He Jiuniang stuffed the pills she had prepared into Qin Jian's mouth as if they were free, and then asked Lu Baichuan to help her strip him of his clothes.
Although he was a little unhappy about his wife seeing his brother's body, he couldn't care less about that now that his life was at stake, so he quickly stripped the man naked.
Fortunately, his buttocks weren't injured, so they left him with a pair of underwear.
"Will he be alright?"
Lu Baichuan frowned as he looked at the crisscrossing wounds on his body, his eyes filled with deep worry.
"Don't panic, I'm here!"
He Jiuniang patted her chest and assured him that Qin Jian's situation might not be optimistic if it fell into the hands of someone else, but who was she?
What an all-rounder!
Can this cause trouble for Qin Jian?
First, some medicine was prepared to clean Qin Jian's wound, then medicine was applied and stitches were made, and then it was bandaged.
The whole process went smoothly and was completed quickly.
Qin Jian had lost too much blood and was extremely weak. He Jiu Niang glanced outside furtively and asked, "Is there anyone outside?"
"Only my parents are outside."
"Have them keep the four guests company and give them something to do. Brother Qin has lost too much blood, so I need to give him a blood transfusion."
He Jiuniang didn't even raise her head; she had already begun making preparations.
"Blood transfusion?"
Lu Baichuan was somewhat surprised; this was a term he had never heard of before.
Whose blood should be transfused, and how?
"Yes, I have it in my storage space, don't worry."
With that, He Jiuniang waved her hand, signaling him to hurry up and leave.
Although Lu Baichuan was still a little worried, he went out to reassure his parents, fearing that they might come in and see something they shouldn't.
He Jiuniang drew a small amount of Qin Jian's blood to test his blood type, then took out a blood bag from her spatial storage and began to administer an IV to Qin Jian.
On the other hand, Lu Baichuan actually managed to trick Sun Shi and Old Man Lu into going to see four people from Qianfan Pavilion.
The two elders had always treated Qin Jian like... cough cough, like their godson. It was truly remarkable that he was rescued from such serious injuries, and he should be properly thanked by them.
So the three of them went to the banquet hall together, and there they saw four people eating and drinking heartily.
In that kind of organization, they were always on missions, living a life of hardship, eating and sleeping in hasty meals, so they rarely had the chance to eat such delicious food.
The Lu family was very honest and prepared not only snacks like Lu Black Duck, but also various kinds of fish and meat, enough to satisfy their appetites.
Upon seeing them arrive, the group wanted to get up and greet them, but Sun refused, saying, "Don't worry about us, you all eat. Oh dear, all the fine young men have become so thin. Eat more, eat more!"
Seeing that they were all very thin and looked malnourished, Mrs. Sun took a pair of clean chopsticks and began to serve them food.
"Thank you very much, Madam Lu!"
The group was genuinely flattered. Although they were not under Lu Baichuan's jurisdiction, they were, in a sense, just subordinates because of their own sect leader's relationship with the Lu family. Yet, the old lady of the Lu family personally served them food, which was truly a great honor.
"Don't be shy, you've all gotten so thin. Your parents must be heartbroken to see you like this. Come on, eat more. Each of you should drink a big bowl of this nourishing soup!"
At her age, the happiest thing for Mrs. Sun was raising all her children to be plump and healthy. Now that her children all had chubby faces, she was extremely satisfied. But then she saw these four skinny boys, and her maternal feelings were instantly stirred up.
These four boys looked only two or three years older than Lu Xiaoyang. In an ordinary family, they would just be of marriageable age and would be the darlings of their families.
But on the way here, her third son told her that these were all orphans, adopted by Master Ming, and had been doing things that most people couldn't bear since they were young, which broke Sun's heart.
The four of them were initially happy to be able to eat such delicious food, but after what Madam Sun said, they suddenly felt a little sad. They had lost their parents when they were young and did not know what it was like to have parents who loved them. If their parents were still alive, would they really feel sorry for them as Madam Lu said?
In fact, they didn't even know why they had become orphans.
Some of them lost their parents, some were abandoned by their parents at birth, and some were separated from their parents in a certain year. By now, they have very few memories of their parents.
However, having been in Qianfan Pavilion for so many years, they were not so fragile. They quickly adjusted their mood and happily drank the nourishing soup that Madam Sun handed over.
"Children, you saved Qin Jian, you are the great benefactors of our Lu family. If you have time in the future, come and visit us often. Just tell us what you want to eat, and our family will definitely arrange it for you!"
Sun really felt that they had a hard time, and she said a lot of heartfelt advice to them.
The boys felt a warm glow in their hearts; it was the first time in their lives that someone had cared about them so much.
In fact, the leader of the pavilion did not mistreat them. He paid them every time they went on a mission, and they had quite a lot of savings. They could eat whatever they wanted. It was just that they were often on missions and could not afford to pay attention to many things, which is why they lived such a meager life.
Old Lu sat to the side smoking his pipe. He wanted to ask about Qin Jian, but he hadn't had a chance to speak. He also thought that Qin Jian was working for Prince Chen, and there were many things that he shouldn't ask. So he remained silent and just listened to Madam Sun's rambling.
