The return of the son-in-law

Although Huo Yu told Jia Huan and others not to tell Guo Zhan'an about their injury, how could Jia Huan and the others have the courage to hide it?

There is a medical clinic near the Guo Mansion. Although there is a strict curfew in this dynasty, who doesn't have a headache in the middle of the night?Therefore, like other places in Xuzhou, the soldiers patrolling at night spend most of their time on the main street.Of course, because Xuzhou is located in the northwest and directly facing Tatar, the soldiers would wander around in the alleys from time to time to avoid getting into Tatar's spies.

After the doctor was invited, Jia Huan held Fuquan back and asked him to guard Huo Yu, while he put on a coat and prepared to go to the government office to find Guo Zhanan.

Fuquan was a little surprised, and said: "But, but it's curfew time now, if you go to the government office, what should you do if you are discovered by soldiers? Why don't you go there after dawn?"

Jia Huan shook his head and said solemnly: "Second Young Master was seriously injured. If something happened, how would we explain it to Young Master? And why would someone enter the house in the middle of the night to assassinate? How did these people get in? Now the whole house is in panic , didn’t you see that several of them were so frightened that their legs trembled? Only when the young master comes can they be calmed down. As for the curfew, you don’t have to worry, even if it’s hard for me, you have to tell the young master.”

Fuquan screamed inwardly, perhaps this was the difference between him as an errand runner and Jia Huan as a housekeeper. He only thought about calling the doctor, but forgot to observe everyone's reactions.He nodded immediately and said, "Don't worry, leave this to me."

Jia Huan nodded, he couldn't care less now, he even thought the coat was in the way, threw it away, took another horse from the stable, and rushed towards the government office.

Guo Zhan'an was lighting up the lamp to read at night, when Hao Yunlai suddenly heard that the housekeeper named Jia Huan had come to attend to something important.In the middle of the night, risking the curfew to come to the government office to look for him, what's the matter?

Guo Zhanan's eyelids twitched suddenly, vaguely feeling that something important was about to happen, so he hurriedly let Jia Huan in.

When he knew that Huo Yu was stabbed and injured at home, and his life and death were unknown, Guo Zhan'an felt like his heart was about to jump out.He didn't even know how he pushed Jia Huan away, snatched the horse and rushed to Guo's mansion without hesitation.When he pushed away the people outside the door and saw Huo Yu lying on the bed, the bloody bandage on his body, and the basin of bloody water, Guo Zhanan felt his eyes darken, and he almost passed out.

Holding his breath, he saw that the doctor was leading the little boy to clean up Huo Yu's wound, so he grabbed Fuquan and moved aside, suppressed his anger, and asked, "What's going on?"

Fuquan could only say what he knew: "We suddenly heard the sound of the gong and the Second Young Master's shouts, and when we arrived, we saw the Second Young Master being besieged by two men in black. "

Guo Zhanan was very angry and asked, "Where are those men in black?"

Fuquan shook his head and said, "Those men in black saw us coming and ran away immediately. At that time, we were all focused on the second young master's injury, and we didn't think of chasing the man in black."

"Master," at this time, a big man came out from the door, "My brothers and I arrested two men in black."

"Oh?" Guo Zhan'an said, "If you send someone to watch them, I still have use for these people."

The big man was taken aback for a moment, then reacted and said, "Yes!"

At this time, the doctor had already prescribed the prescription, walked up to Guo Zhanan, and said, "Master Guo, brother Ling's prescription has been prepared, please prepare these medicinal materials as soon as possible, and boil them into a bowl with three large bowls of water. Have a drink."

As long as some wealthy families have medicinal materials in their mansions, they will be prepared for emergencies.Guo Zhanan took the prescription, glanced at it, and handed it to Fuquan: "You go and get it yourself according to this prescription, and let the doctor look at it before cooking."

Fuquan took the order and went, while Guo Zhanan bowed his hands to the doctor and asked, "Doctor, how is my brother's injury?"

The doctor looked heavy, and said: "Brother Ling's injury is quite serious, the most severe is the sword on the chest, if it is three points to the right, then even if Bian Que is reborn, he will not be able to save him. Also, Mr. Guo, Ling Have you ever been stabbed or wounded by a sword before?"

Guo Zhanan nodded and said, "A few months ago, I was stabbed in the arm."

The doctor nodded and said: "That's it. Master Guo, your younger brother's body is not good, and his body is cold. I checked his pulse and found that his pulse is much weaker than that of ordinary people. It can be seen that when he was a child Those who have suffered disasters, either drowned or caught cold."

Guo Zhan'an remembered that Huo Dashan found Huo Yu in a snowy day, nodded and said: "Indeed, my brother suffered from cold when he was a child. Doctor, how is my brother now?"

Seeing Guo Zhanan's eagerness, the doctor replied bluntly: "The knife wound a few months ago left residual poison in my body, and it has not been completely removed. Today, the residual poison accumulated in the body has been stimulated by the sword wound. And , Lingdi suffered from a cold when he was a child, and his pulse was weak. Any injury would take several times longer to recover than the average person. Also, there are a lot of gravel in the wound on Lingdi's back. I have asked my students to put those The gravel is removed bit by bit. But the gravel itself is not clean, and has been exposed to sunlight all year round, which contains heat poison. To ordinary people, this may not be a big deal, but to Lingdi, it is very serious."

Every time the doctor said a word, Guo Zhanan's heart sank a little, his hands began to tremble involuntarily, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Doctor, is my brother, is there any help for him?"

The doctor neither nodded nor shook his head, but replied cautiously: "That depends on whether your younger brother can survive these two days. During these two days, the medicine cannot be stopped, but absolutely don't give him ginseng antler, etc. In order not to aggravate the heat poisoning. Also, you must not let him catch cold and sweat. But if you sweat too much, that’s not okay, you have to find a way to cool him down. The best way is to rub his body with rice wine. But for Lingdi, the rice wine is too strong, so he can only use warm water to wipe it off. Also, there must be no wind, not even a trace of wind."

Guo Zhan'an wrote them down one by one, he was worried, and asked again: "How often do you take the medicine? Also, how much sweat is too much?"

The doctor said: "Use the medicine every three hours. Half an hour before the medicine, you can let your brother eat some rice porridge. Avoid meaty, greasy and spicy food. If the clothes are soaked, it means that you are sweating too much."

Guo Zhan'an kept it in his heart, and said, "I have another unfeeling request, please stay in Guo's residence these two days."

The doctor frowned slightly. He is an ordinary doctor in Xuzhou, not a doctor in a certain mansion. If he was in Guo's mansion, what would happen to his other patients?

But when he looked up, he saw Guo Zhan'an's sincere appearance. Thinking of Guo Zhan'an's younger brother's serious injury, and hearing that there was a man in black who assassinated him in the middle of the night, he might have something to do with Guo Zhan'an.

Although Guo Zhan'an didn't intentionally spread the news, Xuzhou had privately circulated that Nazhizhou had committed a crime, and now Guo Zhan'an was sentenced to deal with many matters in Xuzhou alone.Now that a man in black came to assassinate Guo Mansion, maybe it was actually for Guo Zhan'an!

This Shi Guogan's reputation in Xuzhou is mediocre, because he is from Li Shaojin, and he usually sacrifices Xuzhou's interests to work for Li Shaojin.Coincidentally, this doctor was one of the victims.

In addition, Huo Yu's injuries were really too serious, especially the wound on his back, because a lot of sand and gravel were mixed into the flesh and blood, which was quite frightening.Huo Yu was young, lying on the bed, with a pale face, completely devoid of blood, which was even more adorable.

As a result, the doctor softened his heart, nodded immediately and said: "The doctor's parents are heartbroken, and my younger brother's injury is scary to me. Forget it, I will bother Mr. Guo these two days."

Guo Zhanan was overjoyed and ordered someone to clean up the Langzhong's room next door, while he went to the bed to visit Huo Yu himself.

Huo Yu was turning slightly sideways at this time, revealing a small part of his back.The little boy held a pair of tweezers in his right hand and a piece of gauze in his left hand, and was carefully removing the remaining gravel from Huo Yu's body.

Out of the corner of Guo Zhanan's eyes, he caught a glimpse of the gravel that had been removed from the plate, which was enough to show how serious Huo Yu's injuries were and how painful he was.

Every time he saw the little boy take out a grain of gravel, Huo Yu shivered, his heart ached even more, and he said softly, "Don't hurt him."

Xiaotong nodded, but no matter how lightly his technique was, taking out foreign objects from flesh and blood was still extremely painful.

Seeing this, Guo Zhanan knew that there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only stretch out one hand to hold Huo Yu's, comforting him and saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Huo Yu only felt in a daze when he heard Guo Zhan'an's voice.He struggled to open one eye and found that it was not his auditory hallucination.He felt that Guo Zhanan was holding his hand, comforting him, his heart was so sweet, and even the pain that had occurred all over his body seemed to have eased a lot.

Huo Yu knew that Guo Zhan'an was busy with official duties, so he rushed back now, presumably because he missed him.It's just that he didn't want to drag Guo Zhanan down, so he forced a smile and said hoarsely, "Brother, I'm fine."

Guo Zhan'an frowned and scolded: "What a show! You smile when you should be crying! How old are you? You put on this posture in front of me! After another year and a half, don't you want to talk to your brother?" Are you telling the truth?"

Huo Yu was originally supporting Guo Zhanan's reassurance, but now hearing Guo Zhanan's words, the grievance in his heart immediately turned into 12 points. With a bitter face, he said, "Brother, I hurt."

Guo Zhanan wished he could bear the pain for Huo Yu.He thought of the nearly one year that Huo Yu had been with him, he hadn't had any blessings yet, he had suffered two sword wounds, and each time was getting worse, he felt guilty and sad.

He is not a doctor, nor a god, so he can't relieve Huo Yu's wound, and he can't bear the pain for him, so he can only comfort Huo Yu and say: "If it really hurts, just bite my arm, don't bite yourself. "

How could Huo Yu be willing to bite?He bit his lower lip tightly, and firmly grasped Guo Zhanan's palm with both hands, but because of unbearable pain, his flat nails pierced into the flesh of Guo Zhanan's palm.

Guo Zhan'an didn't stop him either, he only hoped that Huo Yu's pain would be relieved by doing so.

The two of them maintained this position until Xiao Tong cleaned up the wound on Huo Yu's back, applied a layer of medicine, and covered it with gauze.

"Master Guo, the patient needs to change his position." Xiaotong reminded, "The patient's chest injury is the most serious, so try not to lie on his side. There was no way just now. Now that the back wound has been cleaned up, the patient should lie flat."

Guo Zhanan nodded, and stretched out his hand to change positions for Huo Yu.He was worried, and asked again: "Lying like this, what effect will it have on the wound on the back?"

The little boy replied: "The injury on the back is not deep, mainly due to heat and poison. Now that the sand and gravel have been cleaned up, it is enough to change the dressing in time, and apply the medicine every half a day."

Guo Zhanan felt relieved.

On the other side, Fuquan came over with the boiled medicine.Guo Zhan'an took it, and personally picked up a spoon to feed Huo Yu the medicine, and coaxed Huo Yu to say, "It's a bit bitter, bear with it."

For Huo Yu, as long as it is fed by Guo Zhanan, how can it be hard?It was all sweet to his heart!

Huo Yu didn't cry or make trouble, and obediently drank the bowl of black and bitter medicine.

Guo Zhan'an is now concentrating on Huo Yu, and after feeding the medicine, he realizes that he left behind a bunch of business affairs to rush back.He called Lai Fuquan and asked him to wait until dawn, go to the government office, and together with Hao Yun, bring those official documents back to the Guo Mansion—he was worried about Huo Yu, so he planned to work in the Guo Mansion.

Then, he asked Jia Huan to go to Jiang Yannian the next day—in order to avoid suspicion, Jiang Yannian moved out of Guo's mansion before Guo Zhanan's paperwork, and temporarily lived in a house under his own name—now that Huo Yu was injured, he couldn't leave, There are some things that need to be handed over to Jiang Yannian.

After dealing with all this, he asked everyone to disperse, and Lang Zhong and Xiao Tong had already gone to rest aside.There were only the two of them left in Huo Yu's house.

Guo Zhanan looked at Huo Yu on the bed, who had closed his eyes.He was startled, as if his heart was being pulled in all directions by countless hands, he slowly stretched out his hand to probe Huo Yu's breath.

Huo Yu breathed weakly, but the hot and humid breath hitting Guo Zhanan's fingers became what Guo Zhanan wanted most at this time.

Guo Zhanan stretched out a hand, reached into the quilt, held Huo Yu's hand, and leaned against the bed.

Go to sleep, my brother is with you.
