Chapter 298
Doctor Sun and Doctor Zhao worked together, with Hua Chonglou and Sun Lin assisting. About half an hour later, Doctor Sun finally straightened out Song Guanzhou's dislocated bones. The so-called flattening method of bone setting made Song Guanzhou, who had no anesthesia, tremble in his soul just thinking about it.
After putting on a splint, applying medicine and fixing the body, the job was considered done. Hua Chonglou and Sun Lin asked Honeysuckle to light two more herbal stoves. After Xiao Cang drank the bitter medicine that calmed his mind, Song Guanzhou's medicine also started to boil.
"Madam, no matter how hard it is to swallow, you have to eat it."
Sun Lin looked at the pale woman lying on the bed and said earnestly, "Pills are not as good as medicine. Hey! Madam, why don't you go and worship the Bodhisattva and Buddha and ask them to bless you."
Even a body made of iron cannot endure such torture.
"Okay, okay! I'll go to Longen Temple and burn some more incense later—"
Song Guanzhou's leg is now fixed, and although it hurts a little, it is much better than the severe pain of being pressed. She is optimistic by nature, forgetting everything as she walks, and now she is chatting and laughing with Hua Chonglou, Sun Lin and others.
The wives and sisters-in-law of the Xiao family knew that it was okay. Thinking that Song Guanzhou would not be able to rest well with so many people here, they gave them a few instructions and went back to their rooms.
Without the sister-in-law, aunt and cousin, only Hua Chonglou and her sister were left. Everyone was familiar with each other, so they were inevitably more casual.
But Xu Lingqiao was not present in this kind of joke.
She had been silently accompanying him since she entered the mansion, and even took a short break during meals. Song Guanzhou felt distressed when he saw her sitting lonely outside the crowd.
Let Rendong help her come over and sit beside the couch, the two sisters hold hands and look at each other.
One is lively and smart, the other is quiet and shy.
If it wasn't for the wrong timing, everyone would have to praise the rare twin flowers in the world -
"Cousin, are you scared by me?"
Xu Lingqiao shook her head slightly. The two silver-engraved hairpins on her head were very simple and elegant. Her eyes were slightly red, and it was obvious that she had been crying. "Guan Zhou, you have suffered."
Song Guanzhou waved his hand, pointed at the maid who wiped her tears, and asked her to look at Hua Chonglou and Sun Lin, "Don't worry, ask them, this is a minor injury I suffered. Chonglou and Lin'er, the two doctors, know best that I have suffered a lot this year. This time, I only broke my tibia, it's not a big deal."
The more carefree she was, the more Xu Lingqiao felt sad.
"Sister Hua and Miss Lin'er said that we would go to worship the Bodhisattva and ancestors tomorrow. Maybe we had a conflict today—"
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Sure enough, Xu Lingqiao thought too much.
Song Guanzhou immediately stopped her from talking, "My dear sister, don't take the blame like this. I have been injured three times this year, all of which were accidents. If you want to say that you and I are at odds, then everyone in this mansion is at odds with me!"
Xu Lingqiao shook her head, "I..."
She wanted to say that she had a bad birth date and that she had brought her mother to death at a young age, but when she thought about the fact that her cousin's parents were both gone, she felt that saying this would hurt her cousin's feelings.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Fortunately, you came today. Otherwise, how could I pick you up with my limping leg?" Song Guanzhou said with a smile, "Sister, your idea is wrong. You should change the direction. I broke my calf, but Cangge didn't fall straight down. You also look at that place. It's fine no matter how you fall, but it's the most fatal to fall backwards and hit your head on the ground. From this point of view, is it worth breaking my leg bone?"
Saved Xiao Cang's life!
Xu Lingqiao was stunned for a moment, "...but your leg, I heard from Sister Hua that it has only been healed for a short time."
"It's okay."
Song Guanzhou stretched out his beautiful hands and placed them in front of Xu Lingqiao. "Look at my fingers. Are they pretty?"
Xu Lingqiao didn't understand what he meant, but nodded anyway, "Sister, your slender hands are long and white, and your nails are full and pink, very beautiful." Song Guanzhou twisted his fingers in the air and laughed, "These fingers were terrible to look at before, the nails all fell off, and a few joint bones were broken. The fingers are connected to the heart, that was really painful. Chonglou and Lin'er changed the dressings with me every day, and they cried every time. Look, they have healed now."
Hua Chonglou looked at Xu Lingqiao with eyes full of heartache and surprise, knowing that she didn't understand why the young lady of a noble mansion would suffer from the serious disease of nail loss.
He walked over and sat on the high stool in front of her, and talked to her, "It's really okay. Madam jumped off the mountain stream waterfall and drifted with the current for a long time. There is no part of her body that is healed. The wound on her other leg was one or two inches long, but it has healed now."
Good guy!
It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything. Once she did, Xu Lingqiao felt even more upset. "How did she get hurt so badly?" Shouldn't the young lady of the mansion be surrounded by servants and treated like a star? How could she encounter such things? She choked up and said, "...It's only been four months since the beginning of spring. What evil spirit has happened this year?"
Song Guanzhou burst out laughing.
"Okay, my sister, if you talk about evil spirits, I am scarier than evil spirits. I am not afraid of anything. I saved five children last time, and I helped Xiao Cang today. It's all worth it. Don't cry, or no one will say that we look alike."
Song Guanzhou called Lianhua over again, "My cousin has just arrived at the mansion, and she is very happy. Go over and give her a hand."
Lotus answered yes obediently.
Xu Lingqiao's eyes were red, "You are already in this state, why do you still have to worry about my affairs? I am here now, and my elder brother is here too, so I don't have to worry about anything." Song Guanzhou looked at her and sighed, "You are not like me, you are not fearless and thick-skinned. If I don't think about you, how can you speak up... Well, Lianhua is capable, she will come and talk to Rendong."
After Song Guanzhou comforted Xu Lingqiao, he began to have doubts in his heart.
She traveled through time and space, saving people along the way, but the price of saving people was a bit high! If her legs were broken a few more times, she would probably die in an accident without Jin Fuyun having to do anything.
If so, it's better than being cut in half.
But——, it hurts! She wailed in her heart. This rich young lady was actually made into a revolutionary heroine in Red Rock?
That’s all!
Being alive is good.
Moreover, she had made many good connections for herself, such as the tenth prince Liu Xian, the Qin family... Yes! The Qin family also owed her a favor, and now there was the Xiao family...
Will she be able to get some sympathy from others when she is imprisoned in the future?
Maybe I feel that I am overthinking. In what dynasty or era do I still want to rely on others?
Pei An is her husband, and he cannot be relied on, let alone others? She saved people not for reward, but modern higher education inspired her kindness. Looking back at everything, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. The three women next to her looked over, and Sun Lin asked, "Madam, what are you laughing at?"
Song Guanzhou pondered for a moment, looked at the three familiar but bright faces, and said sincerely, "Being alive is a good thing."
