Chapter 30: Messing with the Wrong Guy
There was a person lying on the street, it was Hu Ji, the steward who Su Ren put in the forest to boil salt.
Hu Ji was originally also a smuggled salt seller, but since Hou Jian let go of the illicit salt trade, Hu Ji followed Su Ren. Su Ren saw that this Hu Ji was quite honest, so he asked him to manage those who boiled coarse salt in the forest. This Hu Ji is also dedicated, he can always cook tens of thousands of catties of coarse salt every month, and it is getting purer and purer, and after taking it back and filtering it before cooking, the output of refined salt is also rising.
In recognition of Hu Ji, it is also an example for those who work for themselves. Su Ren relied on the official position of the county leader, went to the county and asked Changshi to divide ten acres of official land for this Hu Ji, and changed Hu Ji's tenants into farmers. The family is grateful to Su Ren, and this Hu Ji is more attentive to things. The production of coarse salt in brine springs is increasing.
Hu Ji was dying, and he still had knife wounds on his body. Su Ren hugged Hu Ji and immediately asked people to ask for a medical officer.
"Brother Hu, Brother Hu?" Su Ren shouted twice, Hu Ji slowly opened his eyes, and saw that it was Su Ren, and fainted again before he could speak.
Hu Ji is a burly man, and Su Ren has a hard time holding him. While shouting, he staggered into the Laojun Temple. The people who were busy working in the courtyard were all startled when they saw Su Ren coming back with a person covered in blood.
"Second brother, go get the knife wound medicine!" While running in, he shouted loudly and rushed directly into the wing room with Hu Ji in his arms.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and poked their heads out to look at the side room.
Hawking was in the courtyard, he followed Su Ren in, and when he saw the man lying on the couch dying, he immediately became angry: "Who made my Uncle Hu like this?" I'm going to kill him right now! ”
Su Ren kicked Hawking angrily: "What are you yelling about, hurry up and get some water, and a clean cloth!" ”
Hawking hurriedly ran out. Leng Jun came in with knife wound medicine, thinking that Su Ren was injured and wanted to come in to see Su Ren's jokes. saw Hu Ji lying on the couch, with a long knife wound on his chest that was very serious, the flesh that had been turned over kept bleeding out, his face was pale, and one arm was bent and drooping outside the bed.
"What's wrong? How did this happen? ”
"Less nonsense, hurry up and save people!"
A bottle of knife wound medicine was sprinkled, and it was quickly washed away by blood, and even the effect of the treatment could not be achieved. The two of them looked at each other, sweating profusely, but there was nothing they could do.
Huo Laosi was carrying the water, Hawking was holding the cloth, and the father and son came in through the door, followed by Huo Qian, Leng Yue and Huo Zhilan. When the three women saw this posture, they hurriedly took half a step back.
"What about the medical officer? Why haven't you come yet? Su Ren was anxious and shouted loudly outside.
Huo Laosi is how old he is, and he calmed down a little when he encountered something: "It may be too late to ask for a medical officer, right?" We don't have this place, we have to go to the county seat! ”
Only then did Su Ren remember that the Han Dynasty did not have an advanced medical system, and there was only one medical officer in each county, and it was basically for those scholars and doctors to see doctors, and ordinary people could ask for it. Even if you have money, if you toss back and forth like this, the person who is about to die will already die. Medical officers are generally in the county seat, and never come to the countryside. That's why the cold master had the opportunity to draw talismans for the nearby people to heal their illnesses.
"What to do? What to do? Su Ren was pacing and muttering.
Several people looked at each other, and no one could do anything.
After turning around twice, Su Ren suddenly stopped. When I was in junior high school, I had an "amputation" on a frog in biology class, cutting off one of the frog's legs and sewing it with a thin thread, and the frog was still alive and kicking. At that time, it was used as a play, using these three-legged frogs to scare those timid girls, and today it seems to have to be used.
"Big sister, go find a needle and a thin thread!" Su Ren made up his mind, and at this time, he could only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor: "Little brother, go and prepare some clean cloths, the more the better, you can only stitch up the wound!" ”
"What?" When Leng Jun heard this, his two eyes were as wide as the copper bell: "Can this person still sew up?" ”
"Stop talking nonsense, it's important to save people! Wash Lao Hu with water to clean his body, quickly! ”
A group of people were transferred by the regiment commanded by Su Ren. Leng Yue quickly found needlework and thread, and Hawking got a lot of linen. Su Ren washed his hands in warm water, and did not do any disinfection steps at all. Of course, the conditions are limited, and whether you can withstand the inflammation depends on luck.
Su Ren took the needle and thread to compare back and forth on Hu Ji's wound, and he didn't dare to start. After all, it's a person, not a frog. Everyone looked at Su Ren, and Leng Jun reached out and squeezed the skin on Hu Ji's chest in, so that Su Ren could stitch it up. Su Ren glanced up at Leng Jun and nodded coldly.
None of the women dared to look at the method of sewing people, and covered their eyes one by one. The salt sellers outside the door were dumbfounded, no one had ever seen this kind of treatment, and several of them who had poor tolerance fainted on the spot.
It took a lot of effort to sew up the wound on Hu Ji's chest, and sure enough, there was a lot less blood. Wiping the sweat from his head and looking at his masterpiece. I didn't even know how to sew clothes before, but now I actually sew people directly, and I don't dare to look at the stitches, the wide ones, the thin ones, and the thin ones, and there are bows in several places, but they are finally sewn together.
Sprinkle some knife medicine on the wound, and it was never washed away by blood again. took the linen cloth and pressed it on Hu Ji's wound, and tore off a few strips of cloth that were a few feet wide, and wrapped the entire wound in circles. Su Ren sat on the ground with his ass.
Huo Laosi and Hu Ji have known each other for a long time, and the two usually call each other brothers, but seeing that Su Ren was busy, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Ren, how is it?" ”
Su Ren took a breath: "It's hard to say, the bleeding can be stopped, and it depends on Brother Hu himself whether he can carry it." He said to Leng Yue again: "Eldest sister, you go get some light salt water and pour it on Brother Hu, there will definitely be a fever tonight, so the fourth brother will stay and take care of it!" ”
Huo Laosi hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Su Ren breathed a sigh of relief, let Leng Jun fix Hu Ji's broken arm, and then came to the door. Those onlookers looked at Su Ren again, and the admiration and admiration on their faces went without saying.
Su Ren said to everyone: "Everyone, something happened today, let's stop putting salt here, come back in a few days, I hope you will forgive me!" ”
Everyone saw Hu Ji's situation, and everyone couldn't say anything. After a few words of comfort, they left one after another. Su Ren asked Hawking to close the door and return to the wing room again.
Looking at Hu Ji, who was lying motionless on the couch, Leng Jun frowned: "How did you do this?" Brother Hu has always been kind and kind, who can do this to him? ”
Su Ren shook his head: "This matter is not so simple, I'm afraid it's not aimed at Brother Hu, but against us!" ”
"We? Why? ”
"What else, Yanbei!"
Su Ren frowned, he didn't like to fight and kill, it was best if everyone was safe. In the morning, I heard that Liu Wen's son had to consider filial piety, and I was very happy. If you get some money for Changshi, it's not impossible to let Changshi recommend you. Who would have thought that such a big thing would happen in less than a day. What is called happiness and sorrow, it is now.
"Salt? Aren't we doing a good job now? The county order is happy, the salt merchant is also happy, the Shu County Taishou who came yesterday didn't say anything, even people like Hou Jian are impressed by Brother Ren, is there anyone who hates us so much? To be so poisonous? Huo Laosi couldn't figure it out.
Su Ren sighed: "Let's not speculate now, everything will be clear when Brother Hu wakes up." Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, turned his head and said to Leng Jun: "You should pay attention these days, our old gentleman is weak in people, be careful that someone is sabotage." ”
Leng Jun nodded, and several people sighed for a long time, and never spoke again.
When I had dinner, I lost my appetite. Hu Ji's wife was brought by Su Ren and Hawking, and since she came to Lao Junguan, this woman's tears have not stopped, although she didn't say a word of complaint. Su Ren still felt sorry for this woman. Hu Ji is the pillar of the family, with an old mother on top and two children below, who are younger than Hawking. As soon as this Hu Ji had an accident, the sky at home would fall, in case Hu Ji had three long and two short, the remaining people would have no second way except death.
Huo Qian kept comforting Hu Ji's wife, and the woman didn't say anything all her life, but cried.
Hawking came back from outside, and Su Ren hurriedly stopped: "How is it?" Did the people from the brine spring come back? Any news? ”
Hawking shook his head: "I asked several families and said that they didn't come back, and there was no news." ”
Su Ren was completely desperate, what he was most worried about was that there was a problem with the brine spring, and now it seems that there is really a problem. Hu Ji was almost killed by someone as a steward, and there was no news from the others, which was enough to prove that it was indeed a big deal.
In the middle of the night, Hu Ji really had a high fever. Su Ren commanded Huo Laosi and constantly wiped Hu Ji's body with cold water, without high liquor, let alone alcohol. Ice-cold well water is the only way. The atmosphere of Lao Junguan is so depressing that it is almost breathless. Hu Jiyao was talking nonsense, and Su Ren listened to it for a long time, but he didn't understand a word.
Fortunately, when it was almost dawn, Hu Ji's fever finally subsided. Although Hu Ji hadn't woken up yet, his breathing was steady, and Su Ren let out a sigh of relief. The health of the ancients is still good, and there are not so many strange germs, which can be regarded as a rescue. Just wait for Hu Ji to wake up, and everything will be clear.
Leng Jun sneakily probed his brain at the door, Su Ren knew that Leng Jun must have something. comforted Hu Ji's wife for a few words, and then came out.
"What's wrong?"
Leng Jun took out a dart from his cuff and returned a piece of linen: "I just found it at the door, and I nailed it to the door, and I didn't see anyone." ”
Su Ren snatched it over. There was a line written on the linen. In the past six months, under Leng Yue's teaching, Su Ren still had some difficulty in writing, and there was no big problem in recognizing words. There is a sentence written on the strip of cloth: The deadline is three days, and the method of salt production is handed over, otherwise the blood will flow like a river! There is no payment, only a crooked scorpion is drawn at the bottom of the strip of cloth.
Leng Jun said: "This is the mark of Wu Bald Man of Shuangzui Mountain, Wu Bald is ruthless, no one in the entire Wenshui County dares to provoke him, why can't he get along with us?" ”
