We still hired a carriage for the return trip.
Just as I arrived at my doorstep, before I even got out of the car, I heard someone knocking on the shop door: "Ali, open the door!"
"Xiao Cui? What's wrong?" Su Li jumped off the carriage and turned around to pick up Pei Chuer.
"Ali!" Su Xiaocui ran over, pulling her with an anxious look on her face, "Something happened to Pei Xiucai!"
Su Li's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "What happened to Pei Ji?"
"The mountain road in the village probably collapsed suddenly due to too much rain. Pei Xiucai's carriage flipped down the mountain. He was rescued, but his leg bones... were broken... Lin Dong and Pei Cong just took him to the clinic..."
Su Li sighed, what was supposed to come finally came...
"Xiao Cui, please help me look after Chu Er. I'm going to the clinic now..."
Su Xiaocui agreed repeatedly: "Okay, go quickly!"
"Mom! What happened to Dad? I want to go see Dad!" Pei Chuer tightly grabbed Su Li's sleeve, her face full of worry.
"Chu'er, don't worry, your father just hurt his leg, he's fine."
"Mom, I'm worried about Dad. Please take me to see Dad. Don't worry, I will be obedient!" Pei Chuer vowed.
Su Li had no choice but to take her and Su Xiaocui to the clinic together.
"Where's Pei Ji? Where is he?"
In the clinic, Pei Cong and Lin Dong were standing outside the inner room. Seeing Su Li, Pei Cong quickly comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. My brother is inside and the doctor is treating him."
Su Li nodded, carried Pei Chuer to a chair beside her, and stood beside the chair quietly without saying a word.
She wasn't anxious, because there was no point in being anxious. She knew the outcome: Pei Ji's leg injury was very serious. Even if he was cured, there would be sequelae, and these sequelae would directly affect his ability to walk in the future...
After more than an hour, there was still no movement in the inner room.
After all, she was young and had been busy all day, so even though Pei Chuer was worried, she fell asleep unknowingly.
"I'll do it." Su Li was about to hug her, but Su Xiaocui picked her up before her. "I'll watch her, don't worry."
Su Li knew her good intentions and let her do as she pleased.
Half an hour later, the door of the inner room finally opened and two doctors walked out.
What the two doctors said was just as Su Li expected.
Even so, she still held on to a chance and asked, "Doctor, is there any other way? It doesn't matter how much it costs. Or, give him the best medicine..."
The old doctor shook his head: "I am incompetent and can only do this. I really can't do anything else..."
Doctor Wang was once a famous doctor in Luocheng. As he was old, he wanted to return to his hometown to take on disciples. His medical skills were the best in this area.
He said there was no way, and probably, there really was no way.
"Brother..." Pei Cong stumbled back a few steps, a little dazed, and muttered, "If this is really the case, what should I do, brother?"
In the room filled with the strong smell of medicine, Pei Ji was lying quietly on the bed in a plain shirt. His body looked thin and fragile. It was not known whether it was from the pain or excessive blood loss, but his face was pale and almost transparent. His beautiful eyes were staring at the ceiling, motionless.
He was awake, and he heard the doctor's words...
According to the laws of the Great Jin State, people with disabilities are not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations.
An unprecedented sense of guilt washed over her whole body, and Su Li whispered, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."
If she had informed him earlier that her family had moved to the town, he would not have returned to Taohua Village, and would not have encountered the road collapse. Perhaps his leg would not have been injured.
It's all her fault. Obviously, he could have avoided it...
Pei Ji turned his head, probably in pain, and frowned slightly. He said, "It's not your fault. This was an accident, and no one could have predicted it..."
On the way to the clinic, he already knew that his family had moved to town, but as he said, it was an accident that no one could have predicted.
"...Let's go to Qiongzhou..."
"What?" Pei Ji was puzzled.
Su Li explained: "Let's go to Qiongzhou to find the divine doctor Huitian. Do you know the divine doctor Huitian? It is said that he has superb medical skills and can revive the dead and turn flesh into bones. He can definitely cure your leg injury."
"The Miraculous Doctor? How did you know about this person?"
She lied with her eyes wide open: "When I was in Luocheng, I heard others say that this miracle doctor was very famous in the north. It's just that the territory of Dajin is vast, so a lot of news can't reach us in the south, especially in our remote place where we are isolated from the news..."
In the original novel, almost everyone in the capital knew about the Divine Doctor Huitian, but here, including in the original owner's memory, no one had ever heard of the name of the Divine Doctor Huitian.
Perhaps, as she said, it was either because this remote place was isolated from the outside world, or because he was not well-known in the south.
But no matter what, she would take him to try. She was responsible for his leg injury...
Su Li covered him with the quilt and said, "You rest first. I'll ask the doctor. If it's okay, we'll leave right away."
"good……"
Afterwards, Su Li found the old doctor and asked for his consent. However, the journey was long and bumpy, and in order to prevent the injury from getting worse, it would be best to wait for two days until Pei Ji's leg injury stabilized before going.
Of course she followed the doctor's advice.
The clinic was not far from Su Li's newly bought house. In the evening, she bought the only wheelchair in the clinic, and Pei Cong and Lin Dong helped push Pei Ji home.
Everyone was busy all afternoon and hadn't eaten dinner. After returning home and settling Pei Ji down, Su Li hurried to the kitchen to make egg and vegetable noodles and served them to everyone.
"Thanks so much to you guys today..." Su Li said gratefully.
"What is our relationship? Why are you saying these things?" Su Xiaocui said angrily.
Lin Dong also nodded in agreement.
