When Leng Tiehu woke up, he found himself lying on a wooden bed. The mattress underneath him was soft and comfortable, but there was a burning pain in his back.

There were a few people standing in front of the bed.

Su Yu of the White Jade Academy held a fan in his hand and gently slapped his palm. Su Yu's side stood a middle-aged man with a short beard.

There was also a young man in a long robe, holding a porcelain vase in his hand, pouring potion on cotton yarn.

The young man in the long shirt said to the middle-aged man, "Steward He, please help me hold his back." ”

"Oh, good." Steward He agreed, and his hands were firmly pressed on Tiehu's shoulders.

"Why am I here, where is this?" Tiehu wanted to get up, but he felt that his body was as heavy as carrying a thousand pounds of stones.

Su Yu looked at Leng Tiehu and said, "Don't move yet, Doctor Lu is treating your wounds." ”

Steward He said: "This is Baiyu Academy, it was Dean Su and my son-in-law who saved you. ”

The young doctor put down the porcelain bottle and wiped the wound on Tie Hu's back with gauze with the potion: "This potion will hurt a little, you bear with it." ”

"Huh-" Tiehu tried not to scream, but he couldn't help it.

Su Yu looked at the deep blood marks on Leng Tiehu's back and said, "Bastard, it's too ruthless." ”

Steward He said, "It is not an ordinary leather whip, but a kind of thorny leather whip, which is whipped on the skin of a person. ”

Dr. Lu put the bloodstained gauze in a bamboo basket, took out a dark bottle from the medicine box, and sprinkled some medicine powder on Tiehu's back.

Iron Tiger let out another groan.

Then, the doctor helped Tiehu to get up, sat on the edge of the bed, and wrapped gauze around his chest and back a few times.

Tiehu has a chance to take a good look at this doctor. It was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, with a flat head and a square face.

"Doctor Lu, thank you for coming to this brother's rescue." Su Yu said.

"Master Su, don't call me Doctor Lu, I'm just an apprentice, just call me Lu Qi." The doctor smiled shyly.

"Then don't call me Su Gongzi, just call me Su Yu." Su Yu said, "This brother's injury is quite serious, he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, right?" ”

"His injuries were skin wounds, and he was cured in a few days after applying the medicine. He fainted, not because of his injuries, but because he hadn't eaten. ”

Lu Qi washed his hands in the basin and dried his hands with a towel.

Steward He patted Leng Tiehu on the shoulder and said, "I have instructed the kitchen to prepare some porridge for you." You haven't eaten in a few days? ”

Tie Hu endured the pain and said, "Thank you, young master, thank you, Doctor Lu." I'll tell you the truth, I haven't eaten for three days. ”

At this time, the cook came in with a bowl of porridge.

Su Yu said: "You eat some food first, rest a little, and then talk about it later." ”

Tiehu took the bowl, sat down on the edge of the bed and ate it.

Su Yu accompanied Lu Qi out of the house and came to the lotus pond in the south courtyard. Su Yu asked: "Brother Lu Qi, you have been here with the master many times, what do you think of my grandfather's illness?" ”

Lu Qi frowned and said, "My master Gu Qingquan is the best doctor in Evian Town, if he can't help it, then I'm afraid he will ......."

Su Yu nodded: "Oh, it seems that the situation is not very good." ”

At this time, Su Zixuan accompanied Gu Qingquan, the old Chinese medicine doctor of Taihetang, out of the main house of the North Courtyard.

Su Yu and Lu Qi hurriedly walked over.

Lu Qi took the delicate medicine box in Gu Qingquan's hand and followed behind the master.

Su Zixuan politely sent the master and apprentice out of the White Jade Academy.

Then, she went directly into the South Courtyard and came to the hut where Leng Tiehu was treated, which was the bedroom of Steward He.

Su Yu followed behind her mother.

As soon as the two of them entered the house, they saw Leng Tiehu holding a purple cloth bag and was about to go out.

Seeing Su Yu come in, Leng Tiehu said, "Thank you, Young Master Su, for saving your life." ”

He didn't know that the woman walking in front was Su Zixuan, the dean of the White Jade Academy.

Su Yu asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Tiehu said: "I don't want to stay and cause more trouble, I'd better go first." I'm going to find my sister. ”

"Sit down first, don't rush to go." Su Zixuan sat down on the chair next to the table, and Su Yu stood beside her. Tiehu didn't dare to sit and stood bent over.

"Leng Tiehu, sit down, sit on the edge of the bed."

Su Yu pointed at Su Zixuan and said, "This is my mother." ”

"Hello ma'am." Iron Tiger's ass landed gently on the side of the bed.

Su Zixuan looked at Leng Tiehu and said coldly, "What are you doing in Chunhualou, why did they beat you?" What's the matter with your sister? ”

When Tiehu thought of his life experience, sadness came from it, and then he thought about what had happened in the past few days, and he couldn't help but cry like rain.

……

Tiehu is an abandoned baby, he was picked up by Hua Dan Shi Yurong of the Phoenix Opera Troupe.

When Shi Yurong went to the temple to offer incense, she found the baby boy in swaddling clothes, and she couldn't bear it, so she brought it back to raise her. The boss of the drama troupe wanted to stop her from adopting, but Shi Yurong was the pillar of the troupe, she insisted on raising it, and the boss couldn't help it.

Shi Yurong paid for the old mother and took care of the children. When Tiehu was two years old, Shi Yurong married Boss Leng of the opera troupe and gave birth to her daughter Leng Xueni.

Shi Yurong is not only a drama, but also half a boss. The flower drum troupe is tepid under the care of the husband and wife, and the livelihood of dozens of people is passable. Despite the adrift, they got used to it.

Although Tiehu is not biological, Shi Yurong regards him as his own. When Tiehu was six years old, Shi Yurong sent him to study in a private school for a few years, and only returned to the opera troupe at the age of twelve to help with the dots.

Tiehu likes musical instruments and learned erhu from musicians. Xue Ni inherited her mother's figure and voice, and she sang with a clear eye, and the blue was better than the blue.

Since Leng Xueni became a popular actress, Shi Yurong has rarely been on stage. She is more involved in the management and operation of the theater troupe.

Three years ago, the troupe returned to the Yellow River from a neighboring county and took the waterway, but somehow at night, Boss Leng and Shi Yurong both fell into the river, and when they were salvaged, they were already out of gas.

For brothers and sisters who have not yet reached adulthood, the sky is undoubtedly falling.

But no matter what, life has to go on. The group of dragons has no leader, and seeing that the troupe is about to be disbanded, the kind-hearted troupe steward Wu Ershu came forward, collected the people and horses, and continued to take everyone around to perform and survive.

Slowly, the troupe got back on track. Leng Tiehu and Leng Xueni are still nominally the small bosses of the troupe, but in fact, all affairs are decided by Second Uncle Wu.

The Leng brothers and sisters are still children, and they have no choice. Boss Wu took good care of the two children and did not treat them badly. Life is still passable.

That night a few days ago, the troupe began their performance in Evian. At that time, Boss Wu sent invitations to the big households in the town. The White Jade Academy was attended by Su Yu.

After the performance, Tiehu and his sister both felt that the performance was a success, and the cheers of the audience were overwhelming one after another, and the income should not be less.

However, what Tie Hu didn't expect was that most of the people in the audience who were shouting and cheering were hired by Boss Wu for money, in order to create an atmosphere, stimulate those big households, and build momentum for future performances.

In fact, the income from singing is not satisfactory.

Hearing Second Uncle Wu say this, Tie Hu suddenly felt cold. He knows that in the past two years, the opera troupe has become less and less profitable, and the life of the opera is not as good as before.

Just when the brother and sister were worried about the future, Boss Wu said that that night, a family temporarily invited the opera troupe to perform at home to celebrate the birthday of the elderly.

Tiehu felt puzzled, if he wanted to invite the opera troupe, it should be arranged in advance, how could it be so late, and suddenly invite someone to sing.

Boss Wu said that the family originally invited a troupe, but there were too many guests who went to celebrate their birthdays, and the host wanted to add another troupe, and the two sang on stage to increase the lively atmosphere.

For the troupe, this is also a big deal, and Boss Wu hopes that Xue Ni can perform an extra performance that night.

Leng Xueni was a little tired and didn't want to go.

Boss Wu didn't force it, so he took five or six other girls to prepare to go out.

Tiehu hesitated, but persuaded his sister to act, and earn a little more if she could. He hopes that he can save a sum of money early and open a small restaurant or some other small shop, so that his life can settle down.

Xue Ni listened to her brother's persuasion and followed Boss Wu into the carriage.

However, it was this decision that made Tiehu regret it. Because he hadn't seen his sister since she left that night.
