Chapter 8: Tesuji is picked
Rong Que didn't dare to raise his head, Yuxi lowered his head, the two were silent, and the atmosphere fell into anxiety and embarrassment for a while. Rong Que tried his best to calm his mind.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be like this. Rong Que smiled awkwardly, and even felt that he was laughing like a stupid melon.
Yuxi just nodded and didn't speak.
"Do you still wear the clothes?"
Yuxi nodded.
Rong Que grinned, and couldn't help but ask himself, why did he have such a weak heart, could it be that he had distracting thoughts? At this time, the second little shopkeeper was serving, and Rong Que got up to help move and place it.
After the shopkeeper left, Rong Que breathed a sigh of relief, and his mind finally calmed down a lot.
"Let's eat, hungry, right?" Rong Que said.
Yuxi nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and carefully picked up the vegetables.
"I'm going to buy you some clothes after eating. ”
Yuxi nodded.
After eating, Rong Que finally adapted to the "environment", the two went out, went to the clothing store to buy two clothes for Yuxi, and then went back to the inn and went back to their rooms.
A good night's sleep, and the next day, the two settled the bill and left the inn with their burdens.
"Let's go buy some dry food before we hit the road. Rong Que said.
Yuxi nodded.
The two walked on the street, one in front of the other, one leading a horse, Rong Que in front, and Yuxi following behind like a tail.
At this time, there was a shout from not far away, Rong Que looked in the direction from which the sound came from, and saw a group of people gathered around. Rong Que heard a faint scream from the noisy shouting again, and the scream attracted Rong Que's attention, Rong Que quickened his pace and walked over.
After walking into the crowd, it turned out to be a group of people beating a boy. From the conversation of the onlookers-by, Rong Que roughly understood the situation according to the fragment of the passers-by's words, Master Chen of the Chen Mansion prepared an antique vase, ready to be dedicated to the governor, this boy is a descendant of the Chen Mansion, this morning accidentally smashed the antique vase, this time the old man Chen was angry enough, and the old man Chen was angry, and took the family to beat the boy to vent his anger.
Rong Que turned his head to look at the boy who was curled up on the ground, younger than himself, less than twenty years old, at this moment he no longer made a scream, Rong Que looked at it, and found that the boy's limbs were twitching slightly at this moment, which showed that the wounds on his body had injured his internal organs, which had exceeded the limit of his body's tolerance. Rong Que is a doctor, the heart of the doctor's parents, seeing that the boy is already in danger, he naturally can't hold his breath, Rong Que squeezed out of the crowd, rushed over, pushed away Master Chen, who was holding a solid stick, and blocked in front of the boy.
"Don't fight, he'll die if you hit him again. Rong Que shouted.
"It's good to kill this stinky thing, the vase I bought for 200,000 taels, how dare this stinky thing be broken?" Old Man Chen was furious, stared at the boy viciously, and then scolded Rong Que, "Boy, it's none of your business, you get out of the way for me, and if you don't get out of the way, I'll beat you together." ”
When the onlookers heard that the antique vase was worth 200,000 taels, they couldn't help but make an uproar, no wonder Master Chen would be furious, 200,000 taels was an extremely large amount.
"If you kill him, your vase can't be recovered, what's the use of killing him?" Rong Que argued.
"Isn't my 200,000 taels money? Do you know how many years of hard work it takes to earn this money?" Old Man Chen was stimulated by Rong Que's words, but he became even more angry, and he shouted angrily, "Don't you dodge? Don't blame us if you don't dodge." ”
Rong Que felt the carotid artery in the boy's neck and found that the pulse was very weak, and then the boy vomited out a mouthful of blood, and Rong Que did not dare to let these people continue to beat the boy.
Seeing that Rong Que was determined to protect this boy, Master Chen was furious on the spot, and ordered, "Give me a fight with him." ”
The family members of the Chen Mansion got the order, and they swarmed around, all holding sticks, Rong Que was just a doctor, and he had no martial arts, and in the face of the sticks that followed, Rong Que could only hold his head with his arms. The taste of the stick falling on his body was very uncomfortable, and Rong Que could only grit his teeth to endure it.
Rong Que was beaten with sticks one after another, and blood was spilling from his mouth. Unexpectedly, a miserable scream from Master Chen suddenly sounded, and the sticks that fell on his body like raindrops also stopped abruptly at this time. Rong Que looked up in astonishment, and saw Master Chen's hand covering his forehead, blood seeping out from between his fingers uncontrollably, and Master Chen stared ahead angrily. In front of him was Yuxi, Yuxi stood there in a panic, holding a big stone in both hands, only to see that Rong Que was beaten by the crowd, in a hurry, he picked up a stone from the side of the road and smashed it into Master Chen's head, although it was not completely hit, but it also injured Master Chen.
"Hold her down for me. Old Man Chen shouted.
At this time, the two family members deceived themselves and rushed away to Yuxi, Yuxi panicked and wanted to escape, but he was not the opponent of the family, he was caught by the family three or two, and then fell to the ground, Yuxi struggled, trying to get rid of control, but the strength of the two family members was far greater than it, and Yuxi was pressed to the ground.
"Bring a knife. Master Chen said.
Soon, a family member handed a dagger to Master Chen, who took the dagger and walked towards Yuxi.
Rong Que wanted to stop Master Chen from getting close to Yuxi, but he was punched in the abdomen several times by Jiading, and finally he was pushed to the ground by Jiading.
Rong Que was defenseless, Yuxi's heart-rending screams sounded, and what caught Rong Que's eyes was a bleak picture, Yuxi was pressed to the ground by two big men, his forehead and cheeks were covered with beads of sweat, Yuxi's lips were trembling, gasping for breath, blood was gushing out of Yuxi's right wrist, and Master Chen was still holding a bloody dagger in his hand.
The tendon of Yuxi's right hand was picked off by Master Chen in this way, and even if he was cured in the future, he would not be able to use his strength, and he would not be able to hold things steadily.
Master Chen glanced at Yuxi with contempt, Yuxi's face was pale, her hair was stained with sweat, sticking to her face, her chest rose and fell rapidly, her cherry lips were bloodless, and only panic was left on her face.
"Get her gauze to stop the bleeding. Master Chen instructed the family beside him.
The family found gauze and pressed it on the wound on Yuxi's right hand.
Master Chen snorted coldly, "You hit me and almost hurt my life, and it's not an exaggeration for me to waste your hand." ”
Master Chen turned his head to look at Rong Que again, and scolded, "Since you don't have that ability, you have to stand up for others, this boy signed a deed of sale for me, and I have the right to decide his life and death. ”
In the end, Master Chen pointed to the boy who was lying motionless on the ground, and instructed the family, "Pull him back." ”
The family stepped forward and took the boy away, Master Chen took the family away, Rong Que regained his freedom, hurriedly ran to Yuxi's side, lifted the gauze, and saw the shocking wound of the sharp blade cutting the tendons, Rong Que hurriedly ran to his horse, took off the burden, there were gold sore medicines and herbs in the baggage, Rong Que first applied medicinal powder to Yuxi's wrist to temporarily stop the bleeding, and then picked up Yuxi and walked out of the crowd, when passing through the crowd, Rong Que faintly heard passers-by whispering.
"This man is sick, it's not his money, of course he doesn't feel distressed, he doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks, 200,000 taels of silver, and if it were him, he might be so angry. ”
"It's hard to be a good man! He was kind after all, and wanted to save the boy. ”
"Pity that girl, the tendons have been picked, and I won't be able to do any work in the future. ”
......
Rong Que walked out of the encirclement with Yuxi expressionlessly, and stayed at the inn, after placing Yuxi, Rong Que went to the pharmacy to buy a lot of herbs, he is a doctor himself, and he knows how to dispense medicine.
After buying the herbs, he returned to the inn and found that Yuxi was still sleeping, so Rong Que took off the gauze tied to Yuxi's wrist and applied herbs to the wound.
Although the movement was slight, Yuxi was still awakened by the pain, and Yuxi was so painful that a thin layer of mist was covered in front of her eyes.
"It's all my fault, I hurt you. Rong Que said reproachfully.
Yuxi shook his head gently, "Yesterday Yuxi was dying, it was Gongzi who saved Yuxi, and Yuxi can't watch Gongzi being beaten today." ”
"Yuxi, I'm sorry. Rong Que looked at Yuxi's haggard face and couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Childe doesn't need to blame himself, Yuxi is willing to follow Childe's side, because he feels that Childe is kind-hearted, and today Childe stepped forward to stand up for the boy, and Yuxi was deeply touched. Yuxi comforted.
"It's a pity that he is more than lucky, and nine times out of ten he can't save his life. Rong Que sighed and said, "Isn't that family afraid that they will beat people to death and the government will arrest them?"
"Yuxi also served as a subordinate in the families of these rich people, and many of them signed a deed of sale with the master's family, and the master's family has the right to decide whether they live or die. ”
"It's ridiculous, life is priceless, why did they sign this deed of sale?" Rong Que said resentfully.
"Maybe it's for ten taels of silver, maybe it's for twenty taels of silver, for the poor families, ten taels and twenty taels are the wages they have to pay for decades of work, and if they need money urgently, they can only sign this deed of sale. ”
Speaking of this, Rong Que was silent, these people are in urgent need of money, it is nothing more than that there is a serious illness in the family, and they urgently need silver to send to the hospital, and the poor have nothing valuable to mortgage, so they can only use their lives as collateral.
At noon, Rong Que came in with a bowl of medicinal porridge, in the morning Yuxi shed a lot of blood, blood loss was more, people would sleep luxuriously, heard Rong Que push the door in, Yuxi woke up. Rong Que first put the bowl on the table, then helped Yuxi to sit up, and finally brought the gruel.
"Childe, I'll just come by myself. Yuxi said.
Rong Que shook his head and said, "Your right hand can't be moved yet, I'll feed you." ”
"I'm tired of the son. ”
"From now on, I will be Yuxi's right hand, what Yuxi needs to do, just let me do it. ”
Rong Que said as he scooped a spoonful of porridge to Yuxi's mouth, Yuxi hesitated for a moment, her pale and colorless lips moved, and she opened a little.
Rong Que saw Yuxi's face slowly turning red, and he felt embarrassed, he naturally knew why Yuxi was blushing.
"Yuxi, you follow me to Kunlun Mountain, and I will take care of you in the future, is this okay?" asked Rong Que.
"Kunlun Mountain is the holy land of Daomen, I... I... I'm afraid I won't have a chance to stay on the Kunlun Mountains. ”
"At that time, I will talk to Yu Mo Zhenren. ”
"Don't you think that Yuxi is already a waste and needs to be taken care of by Childe day and night?"
Rong Que quickly shook his head and said, "I... I didn't mean that. ”
Yuxi pushed Rong Que's hand away, turned his face away, and said, "Childe put the porridge on the table, and I'll eat it myself later." ”
"Yuxi, I didn't mean that. ”
"Childe doesn't need to say much, Yuxi has been displaced since he was a child, and this injury is not in the way. ”
Rong Que sighed helplessly.
