Chapter 26: A Late Night Visitor (Part II)

"Song, Mr. Song?" Lu Xiang'er broke free from Lu Hong's hand and walked quickly to the cowshed.

By the moonlight, Lu Xiang'er could see very clearly, just in front of the trough in the cowshed, Song Yuan was lying there with his back to Lu Xiang'er. His clothes were covered with dirt, branches, weeds, and other debris, and the general's robes were tattered. What surprised Lu Xiang'er the most was that Song Yuan's clothes smelled of blood, and he still held a sword tightly in his hand.

Lu Hong seemed to know Lu Xiang'er's surprise, and said in a low voice: "Just now in the house, I heard movement here in the cowshed, so I came out to check. As a result, I found that there was a person lying here, and when I got closer, I realized that it was Mr. Song. ”

Looking at Song Yuan, who seemed to have fainted, Lu Hong didn't know what to do. The situation at this time was a bit special, and Song Yuan still came to Qinghe Village like this. If you want to find fault, Song Yuan's injury is an excuse. Moreover, Song Yuan, who was obviously being hunted down, didn't know if it would attract those who chased him. Lu Hong, who doesn't have much intersection with Song Yuan, cares more about Lu Erniang and Lu Xianger's two relatives.

Just when Lu Hongsi was thinking about it, he heard someone approaching, and then he realized that it was Lu Xiang'er. Looking at Lu Xiang'er, Lu Hong suddenly thought that Song Yuanke had stayed at his uncle's house for two or three years, and he was still Lu Xiang'er's Mr. Xixi, and he also had a life-saving grace for Lu Erniang, Lu Hong, and Lu Xiang'er. With Song Yuan's actions, Lu Hong really couldn't care about him.

"Xiang'er, Mr. Song should have fainted, let's help him to the house." Lu Hong squatted down and helped Song Yuan up, half-hugged him and walked towards the house, and Lu Xianger also walked to the other side of Song Yuan to help support him. To Lu Xiang'er's surprise, Song Yuan had already fainted, still clutching the sword tightly.

Lu Erniang, who was sitting in the room embroidering a purse, raised it when she heard the voice, originally wanting to laugh. But when she raised her head, she saw Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er, two brothers and sisters, helping a man with his head hanging down, and the smile on Lu Erniang's face immediately froze on her face, and the movements in her hands were also stunned.

But when Lu Erniang saw a familiar jade pendant on this man's body, she immediately got up in surprise and said in a lost voice: "Is it Mr. Song?" ”

"A-Niang, it's Mr. Song......" As soon as Lu Hong opened his mouth, Lu Erniang walked over quickly, intercepted his words, and said, "Help Mr. Song to settle down in the house over there first, and then talk about anything else." ”

As she spoke, Lu Erniang entered the room that was used to take a bath and put some sundries, but now it has become a room where Lu Hong rests. When Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er helped Song Yuan into the house, Lu Erniang had already laid out a thick mattress and cleaned it up, leaving Song Yuan to lie there.

Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er didn't expect that Lu Erniang would place Song Yuan in their own house without asking the reason, and they didn't ask why Song Yuan appeared in the Lu family so late. The two brothers and sisters glanced at each other, suppressed the question in their hearts, and put Song Yuan on the mattress with their hands and feet to let him lie down.

This Song Yuan was lying flat, and his front was looked at by the three members of the Lu family. Song Yuan has lost a lot of weight and darkened a lot compared to three years ago. Song Yuan seemed to be embarrassed by something, and even his eyebrows were tightly wrinkled in a daze. What caught the attention of the three members of the Lu family the most was that Song Yuan's right chest was very red. It was a small patch of his robe stained red with blood, and it was obvious that it must have oozed from it.

Lu Erniang hesitated for a moment, then got up and took Lu Xiang'er's hand, and said to Lu Hong: "Brother Hong, A-Niang and Xiang'er go outside and wait, you can show Mr. Song the injury." If you need anything, go outside and tell Ah Niang. ”

"Auntie, I understand. You and Xiang'er go to that house. Lu Hong nodded, and only after Lu Erniang and Lu Xiang'er came out of this somewhat depressing room did he check Song Yuan's injuries.

Lu Hong followed Uncle Zhao to learn martial arts, not just to learn martial arts from him. Uncle Zhao found an apprentice who could inherit his family's martial arts, but he spent twelve points of his mind teaching Lu Hong. Like some survival skills in the wild, as well as how to treat some external injuries, Uncle Zhao doesn't have any secrets. Even the ancestral 'Jinchuang Medicine' prepared by himself, Uncle Zhao gave Lu Hong a lot as if he didn't want money. He didn't expect that Lu Hong was so young that he wouldn't need much of this medicine for external injuries.

After studying for so long, Lu Hong has already practiced many times in his heart. This time it was used on Song Yuan's body, and there was not much timidity, which may also have something to do with Song Yuan's faintness. Lu Hong's hands and feet were also very neat, unbuttoning Song Yuan's robe, revealing his injured parts.

Seeing that Song Yuan's right chest had been simply bandaged, Lu Hong paused before untying the strip of cloth more carefully. It wasn't until he saw the real wound that Lu Hong couldn't help but take a breath. If he was not mistaken, this wound was very similar to the wounds on the prey that Uncle Zhao hunted back, very much like an arrow wound.

After thinking for a while, Lu Hong stood up and walked out of the room. Lu Erniang and Lu Xiang'er, who were waiting in the house outside, immediately greeted Lu Hong when they saw them. Staring at Lu Hong's face, Lu Erniang said in a low voice: "Brother Hong, Mr. Song's injury ......"

"Ah Niang, Mr. Song's injuries are fine. After I boil some water to clean Mr. Song's wound, and then apply the trauma medicine that the master gave me to Mr. Song, it should not suppurate. After Lu Hong finished speaking, he said to Lu Xiang'er again: "Xiang'er, it's too late, you go to sleep first." I won't go to school tomorrow, I'll take care of Mr. Song tonight to save him from a fever. ”

"Xiang'er, your brother is right. After Niang and her brother finished boiling water, they came to accompany you. Lu Erniang realized at this time that the night was already very deep, so she also urged Lu Xiang'er to sleep. Lu Xiang'er was the youngest in this family, so she could only follow the persuasion of Lu Erniang and Lu Hong, and went into the next room to sleep.

At the same time that Lu Xiang'er walked into the house, Lu Erniang also came out of the house, ready to go to the kitchen to boil water. Lu Hong knew that he couldn't move Lu Erniang, so he followed her to the kitchen and helped Lu Erniang pull the wind box. When Lu Erniang said okay, Lu Hong got up and waited with Lu Erniang for the water in the pot to boil.

Lu Hong thought back to Song Yuan's injury, and looked at Lu Erniang's calm expression again, before he said softly: "Ah Niang, I just saw Mr. Song's injury. The wound was very similar to the wound on the prey that the master had hunted, and I guessed that Mr. Song had been hit by a sharp arrow. However, I don't think Mr. Song met Orion......"

"Brother Hong, what do you want to say?" When Lu Erniang heard this, she immediately turned around and looked directly at Lu Hong. There was an invisible pressure in his gaze, which made Lu Hong have to turn his head and say in a lower voice: "Mr. Song went to Jiangnan three years ago, and then he went to war. At this time, this battle is not over, and Mr. Song has been wounded by an arrow, so I'm afraid ......"

"Lu Hong, A-Niang doesn't want to hear those useless words from you." Lu Erniang didn't wait for Lu Hong to finish speaking, so she scolded in a low voice. I can feel this tone of my own, but I have never done it, and it scared Lu Hong a little. Lu Erniang softened her voice again and continued:

"Brother Hong, A-Niang doesn't know what the big truth is. But your grandfather told the story of 'Tiering Grass', which A-Niang often heard when she was a child. If it weren't for Mr. Song, you and A-Niang would have died in Qianzhou three years ago. Also, Ah Niang has also listened to Mr. Song's lectures when he taught Xiang'er a few times, and Ah Niang believes that Mr. Song is a loyal and patriotic person. Even if they haven't seen each other for three years, Ah Niang believes that Mr. Song's nature will not change. For such a person, in times of crisis......"

"Auntie, it's Brother Hong who thinks too much, don't be angry. The water is boiling, and I will go to wash Mr. Song's wound and apply medicine. Listening to Lu Erniang's voice getting higher and higher, Lu Hong hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake. However, in the depths of Lu Hong's heart, he didn't know what Song Yuan had experienced, so he still had some reservations about him.

Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, Lu Erniang saw Lu Hong's expression, and knew that he was wary of Song Yuan. Lu Hong's temperament is so awkward, Lu Erniang knows that it is useless for her to say anything. Sighing secretly, Lu Erniang put the hot water into the wooden basin and let Lu Hong take it out of the kitchen.

Looking at the faint oil lamp in Lu Hong's room, Lu Erniang also knew in her heart that Song Yuan's arrival would definitely make the Lu family's life different. However, no matter what will happen in the future, Lu Erniang has no regrets. Because the Lu family, who has been a businessman for several generations, has this temperament to reach out when they can help others.
