The doctor diagnosed and treated him and said that his arrow wound did not damage his lungs and was not serious, but he would need to rest for a while.
Xiao Wu followed the doctor to get the medicine, A Qiu went to light a fire and prepare to boil medicine for him later. Yuan Min took Doudou outside to find out if there was any news nearby, while Su Muer wiped his face and hands.
At noon, Yuan Min and Doudou came back. They walked around the neighborhood several times, but there was no news about the man being injured, nor did they hear that an assassin had entered someone's house nearby.
This is a bit strange. Could it be that this person is not from here? Then how did he get here when he was seriously injured?
It seems that these questions will have to wait until he wakes up.
The man slept at home for three days. Originally, Aqiu was going to give him medicine, but Aqiu had to clean up the house and cook for the family, so Su Muer took on the task of giving him medicine.
As the saying goes, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Although she rarely took care of others in this way, she only thought that she was doing good deeds.
At noon, as soon as she finished giving him the medicine, Doudou ran over on his short legs.
"Mom, Doudou wants to go to the street. Can I ask my uncle to accompany me?"
He blinked in front of her with his big furry eyes.
She pinched his little face lovingly and said, "Let's go in the afternoon. Mom will go with you and buy some clothes to keep out the cold."
Laiyang is no different than Beijing. It is extremely cold in winter. For example, it is autumn now and the weather has already cooled down.
She put the medicine bowl away and was about to leave when the man coughed.
She quickly turned around and came to him quickly.
The man's fingers moved and his eyes slowly opened.
When he saw her, his brows suddenly tightened.
He remembered this woman. He held her hostage the night he was injured. How could she appear in front of him now?
He squinted his eyes and glanced around. Everything was calm, and the woman in front of him had a calm face.
"You saved me?"
he asked in a weak voice.
Su Muer answered unequivocally:
"Yes, you entered my house by mistake and even threatened me. How dare I not save you?"
"sorry."
He said in a weak voice, "I was just too impatient that night, please forgive me."
Su Mu'er pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm kidding you. If I blamed you, I wouldn't have saved you. I would have thrown you on the street."
The man smiled slightly, with a trace of blood on his pale lips, and his expression became much more relaxed.
She didn't rush to ask him why he was hurt. If he wanted to say something, he would naturally say it.
"You should rest well. The doctor said that although your injuries are not serious, you still need to rest for a few days."
"Thank you."
After he uttered these words, he closed his eyes slightly, and Su Muer went out carrying the finished medicine bowl.
"etc……"
The man called softly, and she frowned and looked back at him, "Is something wrong?"
The man seemed to be hesitant to speak, but seemed to realize something again. He shook his head hastily, "It's okay, you go and do your work, I'll sleep some more."
Su Mu'er didn't ask any more questions. After all, they were not familiar with each other. When he recovered from his illness, he would leave here and never see each other again. From now on, he would just be a passerby.
In the afternoon, she took Doudou and Yuan Min to the street.
This is the first time she has been on the streets since arriving here. Although the streets in Laiyang City are not as prosperous as those in the capital, there are still many pedestrians coming and going.
A group of people gathered not far ahead. Yuan Min looked at the corners curiously, but was stopped by Su Muer.
"Don't watch the excitement when you go out. Let's go."
Yuan Min stuck out his tongue and prepared to leave.
At this time, there were sudden calls for help from the crowd.
"Ah, let me go, let me go."
Su Muer stopped and looked over there. Through the crowd, she saw several people surrounding a piece of cloth. Someone seemed to be doing something bad in the middle of the cloth.
Her brows knit together instantly. Could it be that she dared to do this in broad daylight?
"Doudu, let's go and have a look."
Doudou nodded heavily, clenched his fists and followed her towards the crowd.
More and more people were watching the excitement, but they were all talking about it, and no one stepped forward to stop it.
The four men holding the cloth were looking inside maliciously, and from inside, there were waves of women calling for help.
"Go away, go away, you despicable man!"
"Little beauty, you should be happy that this young master can favor you here."
"Go away, don't come here."
The women's voices became louder and louder, and the voices of chasing each other inside continued uninterrupted.
Although some people in the crowd were whispering, no one stopped them.
Su Muer was about to step forward, but was stopped by an old woman.
"Girl, are you a foreigner? You are so beautiful and you dare to walk on the street? I advise you to stay out of your own business, otherwise you will easily get into trouble."
"Why? Is there no royal law in Laiyang City? How dare someone do such a thing in broad daylight?"
The old woman shook her head sadly,
"Oh! From what you are saying, it sounds like you are from out of town. This is a common thing among people in Laiyang City. The person there is Xiong Batian, the only son of King Laiyang. He will know which girl he likes on the street.
If they slept in the street, the good ones would throw a few taels of silver into them, and the bad ones would just leave them where they were, and for this, several good girls wiped their necks."
"Old lady, don't talk nonsense."
An old man next to her glared at her and said, "Be careful and cut your tongue."
When the old woman saw this, she hurriedly covered her mouth, but still shook her head at Su Mu'er, signaling her not to come forward.
Su Muer's face suddenly became ugly. She just couldn't see it. She couldn't ignore it. Otherwise, if the woman really wiped her neck, she would have uneasy conscience.
Thinking of this, she took a few steps forward and yelled at the people surrounding her,
"In broad daylight, someone actually committed a murder on the street. It's really audacious."
Her voice suddenly rose, and her voice was silenced by the scarf. Suddenly, the scarf was torn off, revealing a wretched-looking man in white.
When he saw Su Muer, his face suddenly showed an expression of joy.
"Look, I said that sooner or later, someone will come to seek my favor. It's coming soon, girl..."
He was just about to place his hand on Su Muer's chin, but she raised her hand to open it and said, "Get your dirty hands off."
"Oh, she is still a fierce woman, but this is the best. I like her."
The disheveled woman behind him covered her face and cried. Suddenly, she pulled off the corner of her clothes, wailed, "I'm not alive anymore," and rushed toward the wall not far away.
"ah……"
Everyone screamed in surprise, but saw blood stains oozing out from the woman's forehead. Fortunately, she was not hit lightly, so she must have just fainted.
At this scene, Xiong Batian didn't even raise his eyelids, and Su Mu'er was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
"How could you do such a thing in the street? You are like an animal, despised by everyone, despicable and shameless."
