Chapter 279: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 7
What happened? Did he meet a good person?
No, we can’t act rashly. Let’s wait and see how the situation develops.
Cheng Shangyu continued to pretend to be asleep and did not dare to open his eyes to see who it was.
"Xiuqin, the sudden appearance of an injured child in this deep forest must be something extraordinary. You go ahead and help me scout the way. Try not to let the people in the village find out that we rescued a child."
"Okay, Brother Yong, don't worry." Li Xiuqin nodded and agreed, then pulled Gu Qian and trotted a few steps to the front.
Gu Qian also nodded secretly in affirmation, her father still had some brains.
As for Gu Zhi, no one knows how he managed to survive until now. His head is empty and he really doesn't deserve the name "Zhi".
Gu Zhi and Gu Yong, the names are reversed, her father's name should be Gu Zhi.
Even though he was complaining, Gu Qian still paid close attention to the situation around him, making sure that no one was heading in their direction.
The fact that their family saved a child must not be spread out and let everyone in the village know.
If they were discovered, first of all, Gu Zhi's family would come to cause trouble; secondly, a lot of rumors would spread.
The best way was to either wait for the search and rescue officers and soldiers to search the village, and then hand the person back safely; or they would secretly send the fifth prince to the county magistrate's mansion.
Of course, the first method is the most convenient, and it can also deal with Gu Zhi's family at the same time, thus achieving the best of both worlds.
Probably because at this time everyone was either in the fields or in town, and few people were idle enough to walk around outside, so Gu Qian and the others returned home smoothly.
Gu Yong put Cheng Shangyu on the only bed in their house, covered him with a quilt, then looked at him with a frown and distress.
"Xiuqin, what do you say we should do now? I don't know any medical skills."
"I'll go get a basin of water to wash his legs and get rid of the blood. We have herbs that can stop bleeding, let's try them on him first."
"Okay, okay, Xiuqin, you are the one who thinks things through... Well, I'll go, you watch over him." After Gu Yong finished speaking, he hurried out.
Li Xiuqin also stood up and walked to the cabinet to take out the hemostatic medicine they had collected on the mountain before, put it into the stone mortar and began to grind it.
This kind of herb is recognized by everyone in this area. Ordinary people like them who need to work and rely on the mountains for food often get injured, but they have no money to see a doctor, so unless the injury is serious, everyone handles it themselves.
As long as the bleeding stops, recovery will be quick.
"Xiuqin, the water is here!" Gu Yong rushed in with a basin of water.
"It's just right. You come and grind the medicine, and I'll wipe the blood stain for him." Li Xiuqin put down what she was doing and walked towards the bed.
Gu Yong put the water beside the bed and went over to take over the task of pounding the medicine.
While the two were "handing over shifts", Gu Qian walked to the stone mortar, blocked the view with his body, and secretly added a drop of diluted spiritual spring water into it.
This hemostatic drug does have some effect, but it is definitely not much.
Even though the child was pretending to be asleep, he had to feel that his injuries were getting better and that his family really wanted to save him.
Therefore, adding some spiritual spring water will help his wounds heal.
"Qianqian, please don't block the way here. My brother is in pain now. He needs to apply medicine immediately."
"I know, I'm not blocking the way!" Gu Qian pouted and looked at Gu Yong with dissatisfaction, then turned around and ran towards Li Xiuqin.
Gu Yong, who had already started pounding medicine, saw Gu Qian running to the side in a tantrum. He shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "This child..."
"Brother, can you open your eyes? Daddy said you are in so much pain now, you should not be able to open your eyes, right?"
"Don't worry, brother. Daddy will apply medicine on you in a while, and it won't hurt after applying the medicine."
"elder brother……"
Li Xiuqin looked at Gu Qian who was chattering all the time, smiled helplessly, and then pulled her behind her.
"Qianqian, you said so much, but your brother can't hear you. Don't bother him anymore. Wait until your brother wakes up before you talk to him, okay?"
"Okay..." Gu Qian pouted, stepped back and said nothing more.
At this moment, Cheng Shangyu felt that his heart was about to jump out.
The physical pain and the psychological tension made him unconsciously tense his body and break out in cold sweats.
How to do how to do?
Should he trust these people? What was the medicine they were talking about?
Why is there a constant pounding sound?
But from the voices of these people, they don't seem to be bad people.
Should he take a gamble?
Cheng Shangyu was constantly conflicted and hesitant, but finally decided to believe it once.
Anyway, he has no way out now. If these people are bad, then this is his fate.
"Hmm... cough!" He struggled left and right, pretending to be awakened by pain.
"Who are you!" Cheng Shangyu said in panic.
"Child, you're awake!" Li Xiuqin said in surprise, and then immediately explained: "We are villagers nearby, not bad people. When we went up the mountain to collect herbs, we saw you unconscious on the ground, so we brought you back."
"You...you guys..." Cheng Shangyu shrank back, his eyes dodging, as if he was really afraid of something.
"Child, don't be afraid. We will apply some medicine to stop the bleeding first. When you feel a little better, we will send you to the county government office and let them help you find your family, okay?" Gu Yong said.
"You guys...are you really not bad people? I heard from my parents that there are a lot of human traffickers nowadays. Are you planning to sell me off?"
"No, my parents are not human traffickers!" Gu Qian retorted impatiently before Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin could speak.
"Yes, Qianqian is right. We are just ordinary villagers, and everyone near this Hakka village knows us." Gu Yong continued speaking following Gu Qian's words.
"Child, the medicine has been crushed. If you don't apply it now, it will lose its effect in a while. Let's apply the medicine first, and when the bleeding stops, we will send you to the county government office." Li Xiuqin walked forward and said, holding the crushed medicine.
"Brother, please apply the medicine quickly, it hurts so much!" Gu Qian looked at the wound on Cheng Shangyu's leg and pretended to be scared.
"Okay... well, thank you then." The current situation did not allow him to disagree.
Cheng Shangyu himself knew that he couldn't walk far because of his leg injury.
Now he can only hope that this family is really good people and will not do anything to him.
That's right. Hearing Cheng Shangyu's answer, Li Xiuqin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this child was not a stubborn one, otherwise she would not know what to do.
She took out the ground herbs and gently applied them to the affected area, then asked, "How is it? Does it hurt?"
"Okay...it doesn't seem to hurt so much anymore!" Cheng Shangyu looked at the green sticky substance on his leg in shock.
