Chapter III

In the dead of night, the lights are still on in the backyard of a medical center in Wangshui Town, which is particularly eye-catching in this dark night.

At this moment, the main room of the medical hall is even brightly lit, and there are medical children in green clothes shuttling inside and outside the house, although they are busy, they are not cluttered. After a while, a schoolboy walked into the main room with a long wooden box, bypassed the screen and walked straight to the back room.

In the room, an old man with white hair and white beard was sitting on the edge of the bed, taking the pulse of the person on the bed, his brows were tangled together, his face was full of traces of time was twelve points serious, as if he had encountered some incurable disease, and the other hand touched his beard from time to time. The bed tent was a little dim, and it was difficult to see the patient's appearance, but from the small hands placed next to the bed, it was clear that the patient was still a child.

At this time, the junior apprentice carefully presented the wooden box to the old man: "Master, the hundred-year-old ginseng you want." ”

The old man got up and took the box, walked to the table on the side and opened the lid gently, looking at the ginseng that was not big or small, a little human-shaped, the old man took the dagger and carefully cut a small piece on the ginseng, took it in his hand and returned to the bedside, looked at the unconscious person on the bed, and sighed: "Little baby, I have done my best, if you don't wake up the old man, there is no way." ”

As he spoke, he put the small piece of ginseng into the little girl's mouth. Then he instructed the apprentice just now: "Go and boil the rest into ginseng soup." The apprentice left.

Through the dim light, it can be vaguely seen that the child on the bed is pale, breathing weakly, and a little sweat is oozing from her forehead.

At this moment, Su Jinan is in a chaos, her mind is very chaotic, all kinds of pictures are intertwined, she first saw the scene when she was hit by a car in modern times, and then saw Lin Xiaoyue dying, and then she saw her parents, they were all very sad, in her impression that her parents have always been strong, and she has never seen them so depressed. Su Jin'an wanted to talk to them or hug them, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make a sound, and her body couldn't move as if it had been immobilized.

As soon as the picture turned, Su Jinan saw Shen Wanjun again, she fell in a pool of blood, but she still smiled at her, and Lin Wenguo, she saw Lin Wenguo wearing a bright groom dress and riding a tall horse to greet his relatives, Su Jinan angrily wanted to tear him, but she still couldn't move, and she couldn't make a sound, feeling like she was controlled by an invisible force.

Looking at Su Jin'an, who was sweating profusely but had no blood on her face, the old man checked her pulse again, told the little boy to take care of her, and then got up and walked out, the old man just walked outside and met a woman in her thirties, this lady was wearing a dark purple dress, printed with the same color pattern, piping with silver wire, fine workmanship, jet-black hair was coiled into a popular women's bun, although there are not many hair accessories, but the workmanship is exquisite, not to mention the priceless but also expensive, it can be seen that this lady's identity is not ordinary, However, this lady was anxious now, and when she saw the old doctor coming out, she hurriedly greeted her: "Doctor Li, how is the child, he has been in a coma for three days, but can he still be saved?" ”

The old man saluted and said, "Madam, this child is seriously injured, the wound pierces the heart, plus the excessive blood loss and rain, it is already God's blessing to be able to survive until now, I have used a hundred years of ginseng for her, I have done my best, if I can't wake up tomorrow, the old man will be helpless." ”

Dr. Li is the most famous doctor in this town, three days ago the night, a man came to his hospital with a seriously injured girl, let him save his life, today the woman who just arrived came to inquire about the child's condition, said that it was the man's wife, but it has been three days, this little girl is still in a coma, which makes him a little worried.

It turned out that Su Jinan fell into a severe coma after being stabbed that day, but did not die. Maybe Su Jin's life should not be extinguished, that day happened to meet the Pingcheng guard Su Mu on the way to replace the Huailing guard Song Changyan, passing by Annan but it happened to be heavy rain and could not move forward, at that time Su Mu was walking with his family in a valley under the green mountain, the rain came too fiercely, they couldn't dodge, so they had to find a cave nearby to avoid the rain. Su Muyang's second son, Su Muyang, is six years old this year, it is the age of jumping out, he is walking in the rain in his own clothes, he accidentally tripped and fell to the ground on the cloudy road, and was about to get up but felt that he had touched something soft and cool, and when he looked up, he saw a little girl lying in the grass covered with mud and blood, and what he touched was the little girl's hand, and he couldn't help screaming, he didn't see whether the little girl was dead or alive, and shouted directly at the throat: "Ahhhhh ”

Su Mu thought that something had happened to Mu Yang, so he hurried to the place where Su Muyang was, Su Muyang saw his father and immediately got up and grabbed his father's clothes: "Dad, Dad, there seems to be someone there." ”

Su Mu followed the direction of his son and saw that there was a small child in the grass, and it could be vaguely seen from the clothes that it was a girl, he was shocked, and quickly stepped forward to touch Su Jin'an's artery, and listened to his chest, Su Muyang saw his father's movements and couldn't help asking: "Dad, is she alive?" ”

Su Mu quickly picked up Su Jin'an, and said to Su Muyang: "There should still be a little anger, let's go to the cave first, it's raining too much." ”

When Su Mu and Su Muyang returned to the cave, everyone had already gathered in the cave, and it seemed a little crowded.

Su Mu has traveled a long way from Pingcheng to Huailing, and he has tried his best to travel lightly, but this number of people really can't be reduced, he and his wife have three sons, and their family has five people, plus a few maids, subordinates, and guards, can there be almost twenty people standing in the small cave without crowding? But now is not the time to be crowded, as soon as he entered the cave, Su Mu shouted: "Old Zhou, come and take a look!" ”

Zhou Lao is the house doctor invited by Su Mu, because his wife had an accident when she gave birth, the eldest son Su Muqing was weaker than a normal child from birth, and even a doctor said that he would not live to be fifteen years old, so Su Mu spent a lot of money to hire a house doctor to recuperate for Su Muqing all year round. Zhou Lao saw that the child in Su Mu's arms didn't have time to ask more, so he hurriedly asked him to put the child down and began to check and bandage Su Jin'an.

Mrs. Su Mei was startled at first when she saw this situation, and then hurriedly handed over her youngest son Su Murong, who had just turned three years old, to Mama and walked towards Su Mu: "What's going on, whose child is it?" The eldest son, Su Muqing, also looked at Su Mu when he heard the sound, and Su Mu stretched out his hand to support Mei's: "I don't know, it was Mu Yang who found it, this child was lying alone in the grass, he was stabbed in the chest, and there were many abrasions on his body, most likely because he had met a thief or an enemy seeking revenge." ”

As soon as Su Mu finished speaking, he saw Mei Shi with red eyes and said to him: "It's really pitiful, who is so ruthless, how can he do this to such a young child." ”

"Don't worry, madam, this is all my guess, let's save people first." Su Mu hurriedly persuaded him, he was most afraid that his wife would cry, but his wife was still a soft-hearted person, and this crying made him helpless, who made him stupid.

Su Muyang saw his mother's tears and immediately slipped away, and ran to talk to his eldest brother Su Muqing about the situation just now, he was also most afraid that his mother would cry, and this kind of thing should be left to his father to solve.

Just when Su Mu was clumsily comforting his wife, Zhou Lao came over and saluted Su Mu and Mrs. Su, but was immediately stopped by Mrs. Su: "Old Zhou doesn't need to be polite, can the child still be saved?" ”

"This child is very seriously injured, I used a special blood tonic pill for her, and bandaged the wound, but this can only be delayed for a while, she must now carry out comprehensive treatment, but we have nothing here, and now it is raining so hard and I can't buy medicine, I really can't do anything."

"Does that mean the kid is hopeless?" Mei said urgently, Su Mu immediately answered: "Madam, don't worry, there will be a way", and then looked at Zhou Lao: "What Zhou Lao means is that our conditions here are not good, so there is no way to save people, but if there are conditions to save people, this child can still be saved, right?" ”

Zhou Lao nodded: "If you can find a medical center, this child still has a chance of life, if she is in this cave, she will not survive tonight." ”

So Su Mu immediately decided: "Okay, madam, you stay here, and when the rain stops before entering the city, I will take this child into the city to find a medical center first." ”

Mei Shi was a little worried: "However, now that the rain is so heavy, how can you go into the city with a child alone, what if something happens?" Su Mu patted his chest and said: "This little thing can't stop me, don't worry, madam." ”

Hearing that Su Mu was going to enter the city in the rain, Su Muqing was helped by his subordinates and walked over, his face was a little pale, and he said to Su Mu: "Dad, you should bring a few guards if the road is slippery, and let him come back and inform us if there is anything." "Su Muqing is only ten years old, but he is not surprised by the changes, and he acts thoughtfully, like an adult.

Su Mu glanced at his eldest son, who was pale but smart and sensible since childhood, and couldn't help nodding: "Okay, you are still thoughtful." So he said to Mei: "Then I'll go first, don't worry, wait for the rain to stop before setting off, I'll let someone inform you when I'm settled." ”

"Okay, be careful on your way." Mei instructed. Su Mu nodded, then quickly picked up Su Jin'an, put on a wide robe, and quickly disappeared into the rain curtain with a few people.

After Su Mu entered the city, he inquired about Dr. Li and asked Dr. Li to treat Su Jin'an.

Today is the fourth day of Su Jin'an's coma, yesterday afternoon Mrs. Su and her party came to the town, arranged for everyone to go to the post house to rest, Mei took Zhou Lao to Su Jin'an's medical hall, Zhou Lao came to the same conclusion as Dr. Li after seeing Su Jin'an: If Su Jin'an can't wake up today, then he really has to prepare for the future.

Listening to Mei's fidgeting, she already likes girls, but after giving birth to three sons, she felt that she had no chance with her daughter and did not force it, but looking at the child lying on the bed, she had an indescribable pity in her heart, she used to look forward to having a daughter every day, but she gave birth to three boys, not a girl, but those who have daughters do not know how to cherish, and make a good child like this, which makes her angry and distressed.

Just when everyone thought that Su Jinan couldn't survive today, Su Jinan finally opened his eyes on the evening of the fourth day. The dim light of the sunset spilled in through the thin cracks in the window, wantonly depicting her mottled shadow on the floor of the room, Su Jin'an's mind was a little blank, she saw the fine dust jumping in the sunlight, her thoughts gradually returned, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, is she dead? Where is this, or has she crossed over again? No, her chest hurts, it's that she's not dead!

"Oops! Kid, you're finally awake! Mei came in with the medicine and saw Su Jin'an's big eyes, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Su Jinan turned her head and saw a woman in purple clothes looking at her with a medicine bowl with an excited face, it seemed that this woman should have saved her, just wanted to ask her when she was coughed by the stinging pain in her throat, and she was poured a few bowls of decoction medicine before she could eat water and rice for four days, plus the coma and fever made her throat dry and severe, and when she spoke, it was like swallowing a fish bone, and it hurt.

Seeing that Su Jinan wanted to speak, Mei immediately put down the medicine bowl and walked over to comfort: "Don't worry, you just woke up, what do you have to say slowly." As soon as Su Jinan wanted to say that she wanted to drink saliva, Mrs. Su said to herself: "It's good to see you wake up, you don't know that you have been asleep for four days, and the doctor said that if you can't wake up today, you will ...... Alas! By the way, I've got to tell them you're awake! ”

So the woman who suddenly appeared left so suddenly, she didn't ask a word she wanted to ask, only that she had slept for four days. After a while, there were several people standing in the room: the woman just now, a man dressed in black, two old men with gray hair, and a boy of six or seven years old.

The first to speak was Dr. Li: "What a blessing, this child must be a blessed person!" ”

"Yes, thanks to Dr. Li's wonderful hand to rejuvenate" Mrs. Su smiled, and Dr. Li hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's also thanks to Dr. Zhou."

"Since this child is awake, he must be careful to recuperate, and he still needs to think about the next prescription, then we will retire first" Doctor Li went out with Zhou Lao. Dr. Li is also a person with a good eye, this line of people is not an ordinary person at first glance, he is a doctor or not blindly mixed, he just needs to save people.

At this time, only Su Mu and his wife were left in the house, Su Muyang and Su Jin'an, the room was finally a little more relaxed, Mei sat on the side of Su Jin'an's bed, and touched her forehead: "Child, are you still uncomfortable, are you hungry after sleeping for several days?" ”

Looking at the gentle Mrs. Su, Su Jin'an couldn't help but think of Shen Wanjun, although she knew that the chance of surviving with her sick and weak body was severely injured, she still couldn't help but want to ask: "Yes, is there anyone with me?" Su Jin'an's voice was very hoarse, and after listening to Su Jin'an's words, Mrs. Su was a little surprised, turned her head to look at Su Mu, Su Mu was also stunned for a moment, and then carefully recalled the situation at the time, and said: "No, although it was raining at the time, if it was an object, it would be fine, but if there were people nearby, I would still be able to find it", and then glanced at Su Muyang again: "What about you, have you seen anyone else?" ”

Su Muyang looked at this little girl curiously from the moment she came in, she was about the same age as his third brother, her face was pale, and she looked weak, but she could still see that she looked very delicate, and when she heard his father's question, she immediately came back to her senses, and said: "Ah, well, no, I saw her alone." ”

Listening to their words, Su Jin'an was not surprised, after all, even if he saw it, it could only be a corpse, and now there was not even a corpse, maybe it was taken away by Lin Wenguo. Su Jinan stared at the top of the tent a little dazed.

Seeing that Su Jinan didn't speak, Mrs. Su asked, "The people who are with you are your family, do you want us to help you find them?" Su Jinan shook her head, she didn't want to talk at all now, looking at what they were wearing, she knew that they were not ordinary civilians, after all, in ancient times, it was not just rich that you could wear clothes casually, the fabrics, patterns and accessories of their clothes were telling her: these people are not only rich, but also have an unusual status, if they help find Shen Wanjun, then Lin Wenguo will definitely know that she is not dead, and now she can't let Lin Wenguo and that person know that she is not dead.

Since Su Jinan said no, everyone didn't ask, and Mei continued: "Child, what is your name, how old are you, what other family do you have, or do you remember where your home is?" Su Jinan lowered her eyes: she didn't want to speak, she didn't know what to say, she felt that she had no ability to think at all now, so she didn't say anything. Mrs. Su didn't get an answer and didn't care, and said to herself: "What a poor child." ”

Mei Shi may think that it is easier for children to communicate with children, so she instructed Su Muyang: "You watch your little sister drink the medicine, let her rest well, let's go out first." Then he dragged Su Mu and the others out.

Su Muyang nodded blankly, and then realized what he had promised, how could he be a dignified man who could do such a thing as a little girl? Immediately, his face was a little ugly and tangled, but since he had promised, he still had to do it, Su Muyang looked at Su Jin'an and said cautiously without moving: "My name is Su Muyang, what is your name?" ”

Su Jinan didn't speak.

"You don't have to be afraid, we will protect you if we save you, and there will be no bad people to harm you."

Su Jinan still didn't speak.

Su Muyang was a little helpless, took the medicine on the table and continued: "Mr. Zhou said, well, good medicine is good for disease, if you want to get better quickly, drink the medicine first." ”

Su Jinan still didn't speak.

"Don't you want to drink it? Why don't I get you a piece of candy? Su Muyang was about to leave after speaking, but found that Su Jin'an grabbed his sleeve, and then before he could react, Su Jin'an supported half of his body with some difficulty, took the medicine in his hand and drank it in one go, and then Su Jin'an stuffed the empty bowl into his hand and lay on the bed again.

Su Jinan gasped slightly, it seemed that she was really injured too badly, and it was difficult to even get up, and the stinging pain in her chest made fine beads of sweat ooze from her forehead, and her face was a little paler.

Su Muyang looked at the empty bowl in his hand a little blankly: "Then do you still want sugar?" ”。

Su Jinan really didn't want to speak so he closed his eyes, and then he heard the sound of Su Muyang leaving, but after a while he came back, Su Jinan didn't open his eyes, this time Su Jinan didn't hear him speak, only felt as if he put something next to him and then hesitated for a while and left. After waiting for a while, Su Jinan slowly opened his eyes, and when he turned his head, he saw a bag of osmanthus candy on the side of the pillow, exuding a faint sweetness, this child is quite cute, Su Jin'an thought at ease.

Su Jin'an was seriously injured, and she didn't get much better after seven or eight days, so much so that the Mei family came to see her almost every day, Su Mu only came twice, and the three children of the Su family also appeared occasionally, and the most diligent one was Su Muyang, in their mouths Su Jinan also had a simple understanding of the family, Su Mu was the third son of the Su family in the capital, and was transferred to Huailing Guard General because of his meritorious service in Pingcheng to quell the chaos, passing by Annan, but happened to save her. Mrs. Su is the daughter of the Mei family in the capital, and she has been working with Su Mu outside the home, and she has a gentle temperament. Su Muqing is the eldest son of Su Mu at the age of ten, his health is not good, he is old and old, he is constantly taking decoction and supplements all year round, he has an introverted personality, and he is not very close to people. Su Muyang's second son is only six years old, lively and active, with a jumpy personality. Su Murong is the youngest son, who has just turned three years old, is relatively shy and likes to clingy people.
