"Please apply the medicine quickly, and don't glare at me. It's better to get it over with quickly than to suffer for a long time," the little Buddha said.
The child's words surprised Dr. Liu: "You've already learned to use idioms just by starting to learn to read, that's impressive!" He quickly treated the bleeding child's wound, glanced at the child's red eyes, and said: "Luckily, this injury isn't on your face, but it's still pretty bad. If you encounter hardships or embarrassments in the future, remember how you were helped today. There are good people in this world, so don't become discouraged and despondent."
Dr. Liu's words were deeply ingrained in the child's mind.
The woman who appeared like a goddess yesterday stood in front of them, even as she bled and sweated, even as she was injured, she still stood in front of them.
She is like a ray of light on the path of life, and the child's tear-reddened eyes gained a newfound certainty.
He has large scars on his body, and his future life may face some criticism and make his life more difficult than others, but as long as he has sunshine in his heart, he will not be afraid of difficulties.
The guard in black glanced back at the man in dark clothes, wondering how someone as cold and ruthless as him would react to such a scene. However, the cold man remained indifferent, showing no change in emotion whatsoever.
Ruthless!!
After treating the child's wound, Dr. Liu turned around and saw the man, a look of doubt appearing in his eyes: "Who are you two?"
The man spoke calmly: "Gu Xizhou!"
Dr. Liu was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "So it's you. Please make yourself at home." With that, he continued to treat the other children's injuries.
Upon seeing the child with a broken leg bone, Dr. Liu cursed the traffickers again in slang. He reached out and touched the child's knee, discovering that the bone was broken. His face instantly turned extremely pale. The child was lucky to have survived; with his leg injured like this, there was absolutely no way he could bring him back to life.
We can only try to minimize the child's suffering.
He slowly treated the child's wounds when the little Buddha behind him suddenly spoke up: "Can we cut the flesh open, tie the broken bones together, and wait for the wound to be stitched up?"
"..." Dr. Liu's heart skipped a beat.
He couldn't catch his breath and stared at the little Buddha statue. Suddenly, he felt that the Buddha statue shouldn't be studying medicine. If he couldn't control this kind of wild thinking, and if this idea stayed in his mind, who knows when he might try it.
"What should we use to tie it up?" Dr. Liu asked.
Xiao Futu was stunned for a moment. He had never seen anything like this before, not even in his knowledge, experience, or dreams. Ordinary things stuck in bones... Hiss! Just thinking about it made him gasp.
Xiao Futu felt that perhaps his idea was just a thought, a thought that was similar to a dream!
The child with the broken leg bone looked thoughtful after Futu's words. He stared at Doctor Liu with expectant eyes: "Is it okay?"
"Maybe it will be possible in the future, but now... it's hard to say." Dr. Liu couldn't bear to see the light in the child's eyes fade, so he spoke words of comfort.
The child smiled and endured the pain of the treatment.
Just because it's not there now doesn't mean it won't be in the future!
All he needs to do is live.
Dr. Liu realigned the child's bones, applied a cast, and placed the child on the bed, saying, "The child can't move. How well he recovers is up to luck!"
Based on his research on human bones and his own experience, Dr. Liu didn't know how well the child could recover; he could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.
Gu Xizhou stood to the side, his gaze fixed on the little Buddha.
Perhaps there really is such a thing as fate between people. He felt a liking for this child the moment he saw him.
Seeing the child's words and actions, I felt even more fond of him.
When the black-clad guard saw Gu Xizhou staring at the little Buddha, he also glanced at it a few times. The child carried an aura that was very similar to theirs, as if he had been tempered in countless bloody storms. But how much suffering could such a young child have endured?
The guards became curious about the small pagoda.
Fu Tu frowned, glancing at the guard out of the corner of his eye. What was that strange person doing staring at him?
The little Buddha followed closely behind Doctor Liu.
He focused on learning and absorbing medical knowledge and experience. No matter what kind of injury he saw, he always maintained a calm demeanor, which made Dr. Liu tremble with fear. On the one hand, he felt that it was a good thing that Xiao Futu was a doctor. He was not swayed by emotions, and his calm and objective nature was the best way to reduce accidents.
"Little guy, are you really going to study medicine?" Dr. Liu asked.
Fu Tu nodded. He had his own principles, and once he made a decision, he would go all out.
Gu Xizhou watched the whole thing from beginning to end. As darkness fell, Doctor Liu left with the Buddha statue, and Gu Xizhou also left the county government office.
The guard in black followed behind and asked, "Sir, the young emperor has been missing for over a month. If he is not found soon, the court will likely descend into chaos."
"We'll find it. Let's put the stand-in on first." Gu Xizhou said as he walked towards the Cai family's house in the night of Lucheng. He was all alone, surrounded by moonlight, with determination in his heart, but unable to find a place to belong.
Sweetwater Village is filled with warmth at night.
Su Jiaoniang lay on the bed, quietly waiting for her injuries to heal.
Waiting for the children to come home.
Gu Changsheng was the first to return; the little guy seemed to have gotten a bit rounder.
If she hadn't watched him get fatter day by day, she wouldn't have dared to imagine that the Changsheng she saw now was the same person as the little boy she had taken in.
Even the child's biological mother would probably have some doubts if she saw this.
After receiving the day's profits from Changsheng, Su Jiaoniang said demurely, "Little one, you should lose weight."
"..." Changsheng looked down at his extra bit of "happy fat" and shook his head. "I'll lose weight when I get home. Auntie, you don't know how awful my servants are. They watch me every day and only let me eat two or three bites of a dish. They make me wear thick clothes that are hot and I'm not allowed to take them off. It's hard to get a full meal."
