Chapter 20 Carried to the Lu Family
"No way! No matter how fast it runs, it can't outrun a horse-drawn carriage. By the time it reaches the county town in an hour, everyone will be dead!"
Who is this guy, speaking so arrogantly?
The village head looked in that direction.
Well, that good-for-nothing daughter of the Lu family!
He ignored him completely and continued to direct people to move Lin Zhuang onto the wooden planks.
"Little sister, what do you suggest we do?" Lu Feng asked anxiously.
"Take it to our house!"
Lu Feng and Lu Yun immediately stopped what they were doing.
Lin Zhuang was suspended in mid-air in a bent position.
Another wave of blood gushed from his stomach.
"I'd rather die than go to...your house..."
Lin Zhuang felt dizzy, but he still glared at Lu Yun.
What kind of wicked schemes are these people plotting? They even went after his corpse.
Are you suggesting we grind his bones to dust and scatter them on the ground as fertilizer?
"You wish!" Lu Yun roared angrily.
"Little sister, let's send him to the city. Whether he lives or dies is up to fate."
Although Lu Yun didn't want Lin Zhuang to die, he couldn't let his sister get into trouble because of Lin Zhuang.
Lu Qingqing looked at Lin Ye and said seriously, "Lin Ye, you are his only relative. Going to the city now will only lead to death. If we bring him to my house, there is still a glimmer of hope. The decision is yours!"
Lu Qingqing's eyes were clear, and her voice was firm. For some reason, the flustered and lost Lin Ye momentarily forgot who she was and instinctively called out:
"I, I must save my brother! I'll save him even if there's only a sliver of hope!"
"Please save my brother! Please save my brother!"
She kowtowed to Lu Qingqing again.
Has this girl gone mad?!
The village head urged, "Hurry up, if you run fast you can still get into the city!"
"Xiao Ye, go to your aunt's house and wait there." Bao Shuan's mother pulled Lin Ye away.
Although Lu Qingqing had saved her son, none of the villagers believed it, and she didn't believe it either. They just thought it was an accidental success because she had bullied Baoshuan.
Believing that Lu Qingqing can save people is less reliable than believing that a pile of shit can turn into golden millet.
At this moment, Old Man Lu pulled Lu Qingqing aside and whispered something to her.
"Lu Feng! Lu Yun, what are you still dawdling about!" Li Zhengqi shouted.
“I’m not going… I’m not going anywhere…” Lin Zhuang stretched out his hand to his sister with difficulty.
"Xiao Ye..."
"Brother! Brother, please don't die! Please don't die! If you die, I won't live either!"
The two siblings held hands tightly and cried together.
"Hey, separate them! What are you all wasting time for!" Li Zhengqi shouted.
"Uncle Village Head!" Dingxiang popped up again.
"Lu Qingqing knows a lot of unorthodox remedies and even saved Baoshuan's life before. Since she said she'd carry him to her house, she must have a way. Let's carry him to her house quickly!"
Dingxiang was definitely up to no good.
But Lu Qingqing didn't have time to pay attention to her.
"Father! If the spleen isn't damaged, I'm 70% sure!"
"Alright!" Old Man Lu said resolutely.
"Xiao Ye! Carry your brother to my house, but let me make this clear: life and death are preordained. Even if your brother dies, it's not my daughter's fault!"
"I promise, I promise! Save my brother!" Lin Ye nodded frantically.
Lu Qingqing immediately took out silver needles from her bosom, tore open Lin Zhuang's clothes, and wanted to insert a few needles into the acupoints to stop the bleeding.
Then another voice came to stop them.
"Who gave you permission to agree! The Lin family is not for a little girl like you to make decisions!"
An old man rushed over.
This man was an elder in the Lin family, whom Lin Zhuang called Uncle.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingqing immediately put the needle away.
Old Man Lu's biggest worry was that she would get into trouble because of this.
Because there were few doctors in this era, especially in remote rural areas, village doctors and traditional female doctors could cure diseases, and the government would not care.
However, if a life is lost and money cannot make amends, the victim may file a lawsuit and face severe punishment.
Just like my mother back then.
Lu Qingqing wanted to save people out of professional ethics, but if there were any troubles or hidden worries, sorry, she wasn't that saintly.
Even abundant rain cannot nourish rootless grass.
No matter how good a doctor's skills are, they won't treat those who don't believe in them.
"Take it to Doctor Lu in town. He cured my leg when I broke it last time. Hurry up and take it!" Uncle Lin instructed.
Lin Ye suddenly went berserk: "Get out! Get out! My family's affairs are none of your business! All of you, get out! All of you, get out!"
She saw it!
He saw the silver needles in Lu Qingqing's hand.
Those were more complete sets of silver needles than Ding Hongshi's, or even any other doctor's.
It looks impressive.
"What did you say? You brat, are you trying to kill your brother?"
"This girl has been traumatized and gone mad!"
"Uncle Lin, we still need you to make the decision!"
"Little Ye, listen to me, we would never harm your brother!"
Faced with the Lin family's obstruction, Lin Ye broke down and shouted, "Who do you think you are! When my brother and I were starving to death, did you care about us? Did we eat a single grain of your rice?"
"What kind of family are you pretending to be now! Get out, get out! You have no right to interfere in my family affairs. Whether my brother lives or dies is our fate!"
She turned to face the village head, pointing two fingers to the sky, "Uncle Village Head, you be my witness. I, Lin Ye, swear today: it was our own choice to send my brother to the Lu family today. His life and death are up to fate. If my brother dies in the Lu family, no one can use this to slander the Lu family."
Anyone who slanders me is a heartless and rotten person!
Upon hearing this, Dingxiang's face fell, and she immediately pouted.
Uncle Lin angrily flung his sleeves and stormed off.
"Don't tell us we don't care, we can't control it!"
The village head waved his hand helplessly.
"Then let's carry the Lu family's belongings there."
Lin Zhuang has already lost consciousness; it'll probably be over soon.
Lu Qingqing gave Lin Ye a deep look before moving again, quickly applying acupuncture to several acupoints.
"Big brother, second brother, hurry up and carry it to our house."
Lu Feng and Lu Yun's eyes lit up, and they immediately responded.
Others might not have seen it, but the two of them could see it clearly.
The young lady's hands were so fast; almost with a flick of her fingertips, the silver needle pierced into the flesh.
That would require an incredibly high level of medical skill!
Anyway, the doctors they'd seen took ages to insert needles into acupuncture points.
At this moment, Lu Yun was already thinking about what would happen if Lin Zhuang was saved.
Wouldn't the whole village line up to see him for medical treatment?
In a flurry of activity, Lin Zhuang was carried into the Lu family's house.
Once the gate was closed, it blocked the villagers who had followed.
"Second brother, what are you laughing at?" Lu Feng frowned.
"Ah, no, my face is a little stiff, let me stretch it out." Lu Yun grinned several times.
He was just thinking about how Lin Zhuang knelt down and apologized to him!
Lu Qingqing ran out again, her outer clothes gone, her hair tied up and wrapped in a headscarf, looking very neat.
"Dad, go boil some water, boil a big pot of it!"
"Brother, here are the medicinal herbs we need. Go find them. If one pharmacy isn't enough, go to several. Also, get a can of strong liquor!"
"Second brother, come in with me and help!"
With a series of instructions, the whole family sprang into action.
Lu Yun followed him into the room and was so frightened by the sight of Lin Zhuang lying on the bed that he almost fainted.
Mother!
Who pulled his intestines out?!
This is it, we're doomed!
