Chapter 166

In the middle of the night, in the courtyard of the Gu mansion, only the eldest wife's room was lit.

She knelt in front of the Avalokitesvara statue, praying for the safe return of her youngest son.

It was time for dinner, but Qijiang didn't come to eat, so she started to worry.

I heard from the third wife that she made an appointment with a phone call before dinner.

The girl knew that she was born rich and honored at a glance.

The eldest lady doesn't want to hear this.It's normal for Qi Ming not to return home at night.And Qijiang has honestly slept at home since he was born, except for a few days when he went to Tianjin.

Kneeling on the mat, she asked anxiously and piously: "Please bless Jiang'er to come back safely!"

Pity the parents of the world.

She didn't know that at this moment Qi Jiang was running in the cold night with Xiao Jin in his arms.

Originally, he planned to drive, but when he got to the garage, he was annoyed to find that the car had been driven away by his elder brother again.

Ever since the family car was scrapped in the pond, the third wife has been reluctant to grant money to buy a new one. Everyone is counting on Mr. Gu's official car to travel.

At night, it was chillingly cold.

Qi Jiang carried her to the gate, took out the key, and opened the lock.

My heart is full of responsibility, but also accompanied by worry.

He had sent Zhu Juanjuan to the hospital more than two months ago, but this time the situation was even more critical.

Poisoning is harder to deal with than drowning, especially snake venom.

Xiao Jin half-closed her eyes, leaning against his chest, swaying all the way.

She was dizzy, accompanied by nausea, and groggy, all supported by perseverance.

Street lights illuminate the buildings not far away: on the wall, a sign with a red cross is particularly conspicuous.

This hospital again? !
She took a breath, shook her head with difficulty, and said, "I...don't...go..."

Although the sound was small, it reached his ears.

"I have the money, no need to pay it back. Don't worry!
He thought that Xiao Jin was afraid that he would not be able to afford it, but he did not know the real reason for his refusal to go.

One is that they are afraid of bumping into Zhu Juanjuan who was chased here to seek refuge.

Second, I am afraid that Western medicine will not be able to cure the snake venom.

She clenched her teeth and continued: "West side, Baita Temple... the antidote..."

In order to explain this clearly to Qi Jiang, she used almost all her strength.

"White Pagoda Temple? Where is it?"

Qijiang had no impression of this place, and wanted to ask for some specific information, but saw her eyes closed, her head thrown back, and she completely lost consciousness.

When he saw a shop with lights, he ran to ask, and when he saw a house with lights, he also had the cheek to knock on the door to inquire.

He didn't dare to see what was going on with the girl in his arms, for fear that he would burst into tears if he couldn't control his emotions.

There is an enthusiastic family surnamed Tian who runs a grocery store.The hostess heard the situation and opened the door.

"Master, it's quite far there. My family has a carriage, and I'll take you there. The girl's situation can't afford to delay."

Boss Tian drove the carriage, comforting him all the way not to be sad.

"The Great Harmony Hall next to the White Pagoda Temple. The boss's ancestor was an imperial doctor. Go to bed first, and I will call you when we arrive."

Qijiang didn't know how to say anything other than thank you all the time.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Boss Tian jumped down to help him knock on the door and call for a doctor.

The man opened the door.

The white-haired old Chinese doctor came out with a few apprentices.

"Put the patient to bed."

Qi Jiang laid her down, "I've already incisioned and detoxified, please see what treatment is needed next."

The old Chinese doctor looked at it carefully for a while, and his expression became very serious.

"It's a five-step snake. It doesn't look too late, maybe there's still a way to save it."

"perhaps?!"

Qi Jiang lowered his head in self-blame, "It's all my fault for wasting a lot of time on the road."

Boss Tian who came with him patted him on the shoulder: "You are so sincere, Hades will not accept her. Do you two have children?"

Qi Jiang sat down on the ground dumbly, and sighed with tears: "We are not husband and wife, nor are we lovers. We are under the same roof, and we will help if we are in trouble."

Everyone was moved by what he said, and worked extra hard. In a blink of an eye, silver needles, pills, and ointments were all ready.

After working until four o'clock in the morning, she finally turned the corner, but she still hasn't woken up.

Qi Jiang thanked him again and again, and took out all the money in his wallet.

The old Chinese doctor received less than one-third of the fee for consultation and medicine.

The man prepared about ten packs of Chinese medicine, and said: "Decoct it when you get home. One pack at a time. Drink it in the morning and evening. It's best to drink a bowl later."

Boss Tian helped to bring the medicine to the carriage, and said sincerely, "Come stay at my house for a few days, let's go together when she recovers."

Qijiang felt that he had troubled him too much, "Thank you, I have to go home."

Not far from the gate of Gu's mansion, he said goodbye to Boss Tian, ​​and quietly left the rest of the money in the car.

When he returned to his yard again, he felt like a huge stone had been lifted from his heart.

Seeing the warm light in front of his mother's window, he instinctively walked over.

"Mom, it's me, please open the door."

The eldest wife stayed up all night, and when she heard her son's voice, she came out excitedly.

With a bag of traditional Chinese medicine on his back and a girl in his arms, Qijiang stunned his mother when he appeared.

"Jiang'er...you are..."

Because Xiao Jin was wearing men's clothes, her face and lips were not as rosy as before, and the eldest wife didn't recognize her at all.

"Mom, I'll explain later. Let her settle down in your room first, and I'm going to make the medicine right away, or it will be too late."

The eldest wife was going to call for someone, but Qi Jiang gently covered her mouth.

"Let's not let father, eldest brother and third wife know."

He walked to the corner of the yard where the servants lived, and called out Wang Ma who was in charge of decocting the eldest wife.

Qijiang stared at the white gas rising from the medicine pot by the fire, and before he knew it, his eyes hurt from the smoke.

Finally, he returned to his mother's room with a bowl of medicine as he wished, only to find that Xiao Jin had woken up, better than before.

She sat on the bed, leaning on the pillow and talking to the eldest wife.

"Drink it, the medicine is ready."

Her right hand was injured and she couldn't hold the bowl, so Qijiang had to take a spoon to feed the medicine.

Unexpectedly, he was clumsy and spilled the medicine on his hand, which was so hot that he couldn't help frowning.

Seeing this, the eldest wife snatched the spoon, "Jiang'er, you can go to rest. I'll come."

Xiao Jin cried silently.

She never knew what maternal love was since she was a child.

I finished the hard medicine.Qijiang poured water for her.

"Second young master, I will pay back the money. Thank you."

He got angry: "Who wants you to pay it back! I'm not working in vain if I take care of my body."

She looked at him tearfully, "But, I would feel embarrassed."

"My cats, dogs, and rabbits are all taken care of by others, not to mention that you are an individual. The servants here and my mother don't need to pay for medical treatment."

"But I belong to the third wife."

Qijiang felt that she didn't understand what she said just now.But it's even more unclear if the dispute continues.

Whether he is a young master or unmarried, he has to be careful.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. I may ask you to help me if I have something to do in the future. We live under the same roof, so it's nothing to help you once in a while."

Xiao Jin suddenly remembered the wheel and desperately got up from the bed.

The eldest lady stopped her, "Don't move around. My child, your body is still weak."

She said anxiously: "My horse was killed by bad guys, and it's still on the other side of Needle's Eye Alley. If I go there again at dawn, it might be dragged away for meat!"

Xiao Jin pushed away the eldest wife's hand, staggered out of bed, and before he reached the door, his body went limp and he fainted again.

Qi Jiang sent her to bed, and said to the flustered mother:

"Mom. I'm going out. I'm bothering you about her affairs. Help people to the end, save people, and help the horse collect the body."
