By this time, the carriage was surrounded by villagers, who all turned away to wipe their tears as they watched Lin Shi crying her heart out.
"Chen Feng is such a good kid, always cheerful when he sees people. Who did this to him? How could they beat him up like this?"
"Yeah, that was really ruthless. They beat him so badly you couldn't even recognize him. They were practically trying to kill him!"
"I don't know if this child will make it through. It's heartbreaking to see him like this!"
"Chen Feng is such an honest boy. Qingya told him to come back a long time ago, but he just wouldn't listen. Now he's probably suffering an undeserved disaster."
"That's right. It seems like it's best not to run around. This kind of thing can't happen at home."
......
Hearing the regretful murmurs of the crowd, the elderly couple, Chen, and Chen Zhancai, who were watching the spectacle, curled their lip in disdain.
They weren't saddened by Chen Feng's injuries; instead, they showed expressions of schadenfreude.
Old Mrs. Chen thought to herself, "Serves him right!"
As the saying goes, arrogance brings rain, and arrogance brings disaster. You were so cocky, now you're getting your comeuppance!
Why don't you just beat him to death!
Chen Zhancai chuckled and moved closer to Chen Qingqing, making sarcastic remarks.
"Qing'er, you just wouldn't listen to your third uncle. If you had torn up the severance letter, with your third uncle's status as a scholar, who would dare to bully Chen Feng? Now look what's happened, you've been beaten up like this, and no one is standing up for you!"
Old Mrs. Chen's eyes darted around, and she smiled, "Qing'er, your third uncle is right. If you apologize today and tear up the letter of severance, tomorrow I'll have your third uncle go to the town to find the elders and give Chen Feng a good beating."
Chen Zhancai smiled smugly, "That's right. With my relationship with Elder Wang, finding the person who beat up Chen Feng would be a piece of cake."
Hearing their shameless words, Chen Qingqing rolled her eyes in disdain.
This poor scholar thinks too highly of himself; he's spouting nonsense.
She ignored the two of them and turned to enter the courtyard.
Old Mrs. Chen felt like she'd been given the cold shoulder, and feeling utterly humiliated, she spat angrily on the ground, "You shameless wretch, you really don't know what's good for you."
Chen Zhancai snorted coldly, "With such a despicable character, you're bound to suffer a great loss in the future. When that time comes, even if you kneel down and beg me, I won't bother with you."
"Why don't they get beaten to death? Just looking at them makes me angry," Old Chen retorted indignantly.
Hearing their words, the onlookers looked at the three with even more contempt.
"Grandma Chen, have you no shame? Chen Feng is still your eldest grandson. Now that he's so badly injured, it's one thing for you not to feel sorry for him, but you even make sarcastic remarks. Is this how an elder should act?"
"Who says otherwise? Even if the kinship is severed, if you really step forward to help seek justice, the Zhan Shan family will naturally remember your kindness. But you, instead, try to take advantage of their kindness. Luckily, Qing'er doesn't agree. If she had, I wouldn't have agreed either."
"That's right, he's supposed to be a scholar, yet he's always trying to get something for nothing and steal other people's property. He's shameless! Go home and take a piss in your mirror and see your greedy face!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than an egg was thrown at Chen Zhancai's face with a 'smack'.
Upon seeing this, the villagers picked up the rotten potatoes, vegetable leaves, and even cow dung from the ground and showered them on him.
"You're all insane! You're all absolutely insane! Once I pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, I'll make you pay!"
With that, Chen Zhancai jumped three feet high and ran home as fast as his backside could catch fire.
Old Mr. and Mrs. Chen were also affected, their faces turning pale and then red, covered in dust as they followed Chen Zhancai home.
Inside the Chen family's house.
Lin's tears never stopped. She stayed by Chen Feng's side, looking at him with a pained expression, wishing she could suffer in his place.
Chen Zhanshan also frowned, his eyes filled with heartache.
Chen Qingqing said, "Father, Mother, don't worry, my eldest brother is out of danger now."
"Good, it's good that you're alright." Lin's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
"Father, Mother, my brother is alright now, but he can't have contact with people and needs to rest."
Now that you've seen it, don't come into this room for the next few days, to avoid getting my brother's wound infected.
If that's the case, even if I have the best medical skills, I can't save him.
I will personally stay with my older brother for the next few days until he is completely out of danger.
Chen Qingqing knew that although Chen Feng's injury had stabilized, he was not out of danger yet. The next two days were crucial, and she had to prevent postoperative infection and complications.
If Chen Feng were in modern times, he would need to be admitted to the ICU, as crowded and chaotic conditions could easily lead to wound infection and hinder recovery.
If his parents stay here every day, he won't be able to bring him into the space.
The space was a sterile operating room, where he could recover more easily and where various instruments could be used for examinations, so she deliberately made the consequences sound very serious.
Madam Lin's face paled again. "Qing'er, you mean your eldest brother..."
"Mother, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to my eldest brother." After comforting Lin Shi, Chen Qingqing let them leave the house.
They brought Chen Feng into the space, then took out saline solution and antibiotics to give him an IV drip...
After finishing everything, Chen Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After carefully recalling what happened today, as a qualified doctor, she couldn't possibly fail to see that Chen Feng's injuries were fresh.
When I went there in the morning, fresh blood was still gushing out of his body.
Wang Decai, Wu Shiren, and others are clearly lying.
If it really was Chen Feng who was discovered last night, then these superficial wounds wouldn't bleed; the platelets would have quickly blocked the broken blood vessels.
After an injury, blood vessels constrict, narrowing the opening of the blood vessels and gradually reducing blood flow. Most importantly, there are many clotting factors in the blood, which are activated when injured, forming a fibrin network that strengthens platelet plugs, promotes blood clotting, and further stops bleeding.
Chen Feng's injuries were clearly no more than an hour old; how could he have been injured last night?
There's definitely more to this than meets the eye. She's determined to find out who did this and why they would commit such a heinous act.
