Goldfield
Chapter 106: Dying

Xiaocao disagreed with his view. Don't people earn money just by spending it? If people are not willing to spend money, then there is no point in looking for money. But he did not dispute his mother. He intended to continue step by step to slowly and subtly influence his mother.

At this moment, they suddenly heard a series of rowdy sounds coming from far outside the door, and then a hurried knocking sound came from the door. The family, who were currently having lunch, looked at each other and wondered who was knocking on the door so urgently.

“I'll open the door!” Xiaocao said as he put down his chopsticks. He ran to the door and saw the anxious Qian Wen who was about to knock on the door again. With red and swollen eyes, Little Shitou was still wiping her tears nonstop as she stood behind him.

In Xiaocao's heart was shocked and hurriedly asked, “Brother Xiaowen, Shitou, what happened? This is not a break today. ”

Looking at her older sister, Little Shitou, who had been holding back her feelings of fear and panic all this time, ended up crying. He choked with sobs and said, “Second Sister....Second Brother, Eldest Brother, he..

“What? What happened to Oldest Brother? Don't cry and talk slowly! ” When Xiaocao heard his words, he anxiously grabbed his hand and shook it excitedly.

Seeing Little Shitou crying so hard that she could barely speak, Qian Wen helped her explain, “We have no classes in the morning, she said, so Little Shitou wanted to go visit her older brother at the carpentry shop. Since I was free, I also wanted to take a walk on the streets and buy a new brush. So, we went together. When we got to the woodworking shop, we found your oldest brother beaten and heavily injured. He was unconscious and vomited blood as he lay on the ground. The shop worker said that she was beaten like this because she stole money from the store. Me and some classmates brought your older brother to Tongren Medicine Hall. After the doctor's examination, he said that your older brother had injured his internal organs, and there was no cure! If Doctor Sun did not recognize Little Shitou, they might not even treat her and directly take her. Doctor Sun told us to prepare mentally. If the internal bleeding continued, he was afraid that even if Hua Tuo was still alive, he would not be able to save her! ”

“Hang’er, my son ah——” Mistress Liu, who was following Xiaocao, turned pale upon hearing the bad news. He screamed, then fainted.

Yu Hai, who was beside her, immediately supported her and gently pinched her philtrum. Despite the overwhelming sadness in his heart, he was still the head of the family. If he also panicked, then this family would be in turmoil.

Xiaocao firmly bit his own lips, quickly ran back inside the house, and took the jug where the multicolored stone was usually bathed. The water inside was a high concentration of mystic stone water, which was enough to save one's life!

“Xiaolian, go to our parents' room and grab a bottle of money in it. Little Shitou, you stay at home with Mother. I'm going to town with Dad! ” Currently, Xiaocao is the only clear-minded person here, other than Yu Hai. They should not delay this matter any longer. They had to immediately go to the city and see if they could save his eldest brother.

Madam Liu slowly woke up. When she heard Xiaocao's arrangement, she held back the grief with her heart and shouted, “No, I don't want to stay here! I want to go see my Hang’er. I know my son best. He would never steal someone else's stuff. My son is innocent! ”

Xiaocao knew that his mother would never feel comfortable if they did not let go. He thought about it and said, “Dad, go and call Little Grey to the carriage. I will take the horse carriage with Qian Wen and send money to the medical room first so that they can give the medicine to Oldest Brother. You take Mom and Xiaolian and follow us. ”.

Qian Wen rented this horse carriage in the city. The horse is not very good, but it is still young. As it galloped, the carriage shook up and down, which made people feel as if their hearts were about to jump out.

Xiaocao sat on the dashing carriage with a blank expression. He tightly gripped the carriage with one hand to stabilize himself, while he held tightly to the mystical stone water jar with the other hand. The little golden kitten sat solemnly beside him as he tapped his slender tail in a steady motion.

Qian Wen, who was sitting next to him, wanted to know why he was still holding the jug at this moment. But she did not ask and gently comforted him,

“Xiaocao, don't worry! Doctor Sun is a skilled doctor. When your father was injured, he also said that your father could not be cured from the beginning. Isn't he okay now? Your eldest brother will definitely succeed too! ”

Xiaocao's mind was filled with words that the Little Divine Stone had once said: ‘As long as he was still breathing, he could still be saved!’ At this moment, he inwardly called out all the names of the gods, and prayed piously for his eldest brother to be able to endure until he reached the medical hall.

After being repeatedly urged by Xiaocao, the coachman pushed the carriage at full speed and arrived at the city gate in less than an hour. However, this one hour was no different from the endless torment for the Xiaocao family.

Fortunately, there are not many people on the streets today. The carriage directly led him to the entrance of Tongren Medicine Hall. After riding the bumpy train for an hour, Xiaocao's legs became weak and he almost fell to the ground as he got off the carriage. Fortunately, Qian Wen, who got off the carriage afterwards, pulled her from behind.

He tightened his grip on the jar and quickly rushed to the Tongren Medicine Hall. Just when the staff inside the medical hall wanted to stop him, he saw Qian Wen, who was wearing the uniform of Rongxuan Academy. So he immediately changed his words and said, “Patients are in the back hall. Doctor Sun and Doctor Zhang are currently in consultation. ”

He knew that this was not the time to feel sad, so he wiped his tears with his sleeve and asked Doctor Sun, who did acupuncture on his older brother, “Doctor Sun, to do acupuncture, my oldest brother ... how is it?”

Doctor Sun remembered this strong and wise little girl. He looked at her with compassion and replied, “His fractured ribs have pierced the spleen and caused internal bleeding. I could only temporarily reduce the speed of his bleeding with this silver needle, but it would only treat his symptoms and not cure the root cause. If it continues like this, I am afraid. ”.

Xiaocao hurriedly interjected, “It ... if we can stop the bleeding, does that mean my elder brother's life will be out of danger?”

Doctor Sun stroked his beard, then nodded slowly, “If we can stop the bleeding effectively now and he can survive while I connect his ribs and then feed him a medicinal soup that improves blood circulation and eliminates blood stasis, he said, I am ninety percent sure that he will wake up. But..”

He shook his head with a sigh because he knew that if he were to pluck out his silver needle, this young and bright life would die quickly in less than fifteen minutes.

Xiaocao hurriedly pretended to be sad and threw himself to the bedside. He used his body to block the line of sight of the two doctors and put his little hand — or rather, the colorful stone on his wrist — on his older brother's chest. He earnestly pleaded in his heart, [Little Ketan Dumpling, please take care of my eldest brother's wound. I'm begging you. Please save him!]

The little golden kitten jumped onto Yu Hang's bed and emitted a dazzling golden light that no one else could see. As if someone was guiding him, the light slowly penetrated into Yu Hang's body. However, he pretended to be dissatisfied and complained, [I'm lucky to have a master like you. The power, which I gathered so hard to recover, will run out again! If I can't turn into my spiritual form this time, you should bring me fresh springs every day as a gift.].

In less than half an hour, the golden light emitted by the Little Divine Stone gradually dimmed. On the other hand, Yu Hang, who was breathing weakly and depending on his last breath, his breathing gradually improved and stabilized.

[You must remember! You must soak me in the spring. The spring water.] Little Divine Stone's voice became increasingly weak, but did not forget to remind Xiaocao of his own well-being before disappearing.

Seeing Xiaocao lying on the edge of the bed with trembling shoulders, Qian Wen thought that she was suppressing her inner sadness and crying silently. So, she crouched down beside him and comforted him in a soft voice, “Xiaocao, heaven will protect and cherish kindness, so your brother will definitely survive this! Don't cry anymore. Quickly go gather the medicinal plants and grab the medicine! ”

Xiaocao knew that Yu Hang's life was in danger for now, so he rubbed his red eyes hard, sniffed, and went to the front hall with his head lowered. While boiling the medicine, he specifically used the mystical stone water and carefully boiled the medicine according to the doctor's instructions.

Yu Hai and Madam Liu entered and saw the lonely and sad back of Xiaocao, whose eyes were reddened and his head lowered as he brewed the medicine. Seeing this scene, their worries and fears surged again in their hearts. With a soft cry, Lady Liu broke free from Yu Hai's support and rushed towards her son, who was scarred and so thin that he only had bones in his body. She was crying softly, though,

“Hang’er, Hang’er me! That damn bastard, how could he be so ruthless and shoulder you up like this? It's all mom's fault. I shouldn't have agreed to send you to be an apprentice in the city. I'm sorry I didn't listen to your sister. We should have brought you back earlier. It's all Mom's fault! Hang’er, wake up! Don't leave your mother! ”

Yu Hai looked at the countless new and old wounds on his son's thin body. He had heard from the doctor that his ribs were broken, and his life was in danger due to internal injuries. The tall and mighty man clenched his fists and brutally hit his own chest — what kind of father is he? He had sent his son to the tiger's den with his own hands and helplessly watched him be beaten and tortured.

Xiaolian and Little Shitou were crying so hard that they were gasping for breath. For a moment, there was a tragic scene within the inner space. Qian Wen cried along with them quietly and from time to time, she would glance at the only calm person in the room, Xiaocao. It is often said that ‘people will act very abnormally when they are in tremendous grief’. So, he was afraid that Xiaocao would do something unusual.

At this moment, Xiaocao looked up with cold and clear eyes. It was only a moment from eye contact, but Qian Wen felt as if a basin of cold water in the depths of winter had just been poured on her. He felt a chill run through his bones.

While she was stunned for a while, Xiaocao's slightly cruel calm voice slowly spread into the room, “Dad, Mother, stop being sad! I will definitely make that Shopkeeper Zhang humiliated and lose all of his reputation! I'll make him pay with his blood! ”

One could not help but be convinced by this small and determined figure. No one took his vows as nonsense words. Qian Wen only felt as if the thin and small figure had some sort of power that emitted a dazzling light so that one could not take his eyes off. A young man's heart can help but throb for him …

When the medicine was ready, Doctor Sun came in again to check Yu Hang's pulse and brought them a shocking news, “The patient's internal bleeding has stopped and his pulse has also stabilized. His life is no longer in danger. ”

The melancholic feeling that filled the room earlier had been instantly swept away. Everyone's nervous heart finally felt relieved. Madam Liu shed tears again, but this time it was tears of happiness. She personally fed her son the medicine, and despite being opposed by the family, she insisted on staying by his side.
