Chapter 160: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 160: Trouble Knocks on the Door (3)
Mo Yan deeply agreed with this assessment, and her thoughts delved even deeper. Xiao Ruiyuan, a third-ranked general, and the overall commander of the Five Cities Garrison, must have been pursued by people of high status and power. Now that they had saved him, she wondered if they would get into trouble.
Thinking this, she anxiously watched the road into the village, silently praying for Xiao Hua to bring Xiao Ruiyuan quickly. Otherwise, if the enemies who had tried to assassinate Xiao Ruiyuan found out that it was their family who saved him, they might cause trouble for their entire family.
Mo Yan didn't know that in order to find the missing Xiao Ruiyuan, Yan Junyu and Prince Chu Heng had secretly dispatched a large number of people to search the mountains. However, after searching all night, they still hadn't found anything, and they were getting frantic.
Xiao Hua ran to the Wu'an Mansion, but Yan Junyu wasn't there. It turned around and quickly headed to Hui Xian Residence. Shopkeeper Xing was there, and when he saw the note in the purse, he was overjoyed and immediately sent word to Yan Junyu.
Before long, Yan Junyu, accompanied by the ghost physician and others, rushed from the prince's residence to Hui Xian Residence. Seeing the dried blood stains on Xiao Hua, they knew that Xiao Ruiyuan was in trouble.
Yan Junyu, who usually seemed indifferent, grabbed the note handed over by Shopkeeper Xing with a frosty expression, confirming that Xiao Ruiyuan was in Liuyang Village. He said to the ghost physician and the others, "Follow Xiao Hua to Liuyang Village. I'll stay here to clear the way for you."
There were plenty of people who didn't want Xiao Ruiyuan to come back alive. If there were any movements from the prince's residence, those people would surely come running. It was feared that before the ghost physician and the others arrived in Liuyang Village, someone might have killed Xiao Ruiyuan. Yan Junyu had to stay behind to stop these people.
The ghost physician and the others naturally understood Yan Junyu's meaning. Xiao Ruiyuan was the right-hand man of the prince, and they all hoped that Xiao Ruiyuan would survive.
Several guards escorted the ghost physician, and under Xiao Hua's guidance, they quickly arrived at Liuyang Village.
Xiao Hua ran ahead and reached the grass shed before the ghost physician and the others. Seeing it return, and hearing the clattering sound of horse hooves outside, Mo Yan knew that Xiao Ruiyuan was saved.
At this time, Xiao Ruiyuan's condition was not good. He had a fever, and his wounds had been left untreated for a long time, showing signs of inflammation. Fortunately, the ghost physician arrived in time; otherwise, if it were delayed any longer, who knew what would happen.
When the ghost physician lifted the blanket and saw that Xiao Ruiyuan's wounds were cleaned very well, he couldn't help but nod, adding another layer of favor toward Mo Yan and her father.
However, despite not receiving treatment for such a long time, in this weather, the wound should have already been inflamed. In reality, there were only signs of inflammation now, which wasn't serious. What was going on?
But knowing that the most important thing now was to treat Xiao Ruiyuan's wounds, the ghost physician temporarily put aside his doubts. After carefully checking Xiao Ruiyuan's pulse, he felt a little relieved. Although the external injuries were severe, and his internal organs were also injured, as long as they arrived in time, there was still hope.
He took out a top-quality medicine from the medicine box and applied it to Xiao Ruiyuan's wounds, then handed another medicine to the guard beside him to brew.
"Xiao Hua, lift your hind legs."
With doubts in his mind, the ghost physician walked out of the grass shed and saw Mo Yan washing Xiao Hua. When he saw Xiao Hua obediently lift its hind legs, a glint flashed in his eyes.
Seeing the ghost physician approaching, Mo Yan quickly stood up and asked, "Doctor, how is Lord Xiao?"
The ghost physician's attitude toward Xiao Ruiyuan's lifesaver was still quite good. "He's running a fever now. As long as he safely gets through tonight, he'll be fine."
"Oh, that's good!"
Mo Yan felt relieved. Although she was worried about whether this critical period was really dangerous, Xiao Ruiyuan was, after all, a man, so she couldn't inquire further.
The ghost physician seemed to see through her thoughts and smiled, saying, "Miss, don't worry. That kid has a strong body. He had worse injuries before. He won't die this time either."
