Chapter 527: Father and Sons Meet
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the Imperial Astronomy Center, the three little ones had already fallen asleep. Wei Xiyue had also been sent back to the Wei family by Yuchi Xiu.
Su Qi and Su Yu did not return to the Duke Mansion.
The two of them stayed in Qin Canglan’s room and waited for news from Wei Ting with Qin Canglan and Su Ergou.
The first to enter was Su Cheng.
“Dad!”
“Uncle!”
The three children greeted him and looked behind him.
Wei Ting pa.s.sed by the door with a man wrapped in a cloak and went to the next room to look for Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Qi hurriedly said, “Uncle, is it that person? The owner of the bell?”
Su Cheng said, “Ah, yes.”
The few of them took a deep breath and felt relieved. However, they could not help but be curious.
Su Yu asked, “Uncle, who is that person? Is he from the Wei family?”
Su Qi glared at his brother. “Isn’t that obvious? The bell belongs to the Wei family. How can he not be a member of the Wei family?”
Su Yu frowned and said, “I want to know who he is to the Wei family! Is he Wei Ting’s father or his brother? Which brother?”
The two of them had no choice but to fight.
Su Cheng thought for a moment and said, “I think I heard my son-in-law call him Sixth Brother…”
To be honest, Su Cheng wanted to ask directly, but he really couldn’t say it.
He had never seen his son-in-law like that…
He didn’t read much and found it hard to describe. In short, even he felt sad when he saw it.
“That’s Wei Liulang!” Su Qi said. “It’s good that someone from the Wei family survived! ”
These words came from the bottom of his heart.
The Wei family was too miserable. Eight men had died on the battlefield. It was great news that one of them could return alive.
Qin Canglan noticed Su Cheng’s silence and couldn’t help but ask, “Cheng’er, why aren’t you saying anything?”
Su Cheng sighed. “Wei Liulang’s condition… might not be good.”
In the next room, Wei Ting placed him on a bamboo bed that was half the height of a person and briefly described his sixth brother’s situation.
At first, Wei Ting planned to bring him back to the residence, but on the way, he realized that his sixth brother’s injuries were too serious, so he came to the Imperial Astronomy Center, which was closer.
Su Xiaoxiao opened the medicine box and took out a scalpel. She put on sterile gloves and took a pair of sterilized scissors to cut Wei Liulang’s clothes.
She looked at the tragically severed arm. “How did he survive the past few years?”
Wei Ting frowned. “A few years? You mean…”
Once Su Xiaoxiao went on the operating table, she would only be a doctor.
She said calmly, “The arm has been broken for at least three to four years. The bone has grown out of the flesh. It should have been ground before, but it hasn’t been ground very well.”
Wei Ting’s heart ached.
“He needs immediate surgery. Also, did you just say that his throat is damaged?”
“Yes, and…”
Su Xiaoxiao took off his mask and looked at his unrecognizable face. She understood. “I understand. Go out first.” “Sixth Brother’s injury… I’ll leave it to you.”
“I’ll do my best.”
Wei Ting left the house. Su Qi, Su Yu, and Su Ergou looked at him in unison.
He didn’t say anything and waited silently under the corridor.
“Brother-in-law, here.” Su Ergou handed him the snacks he had saved up for the entire day.
He didn’t have a brother, but he had a sister.
He understood how his brother-in-law felt.
If his sister was injured, he would be so sad, even sadder than if he was injured.
Wei Ting took the snack.
In the house, Su Xiaoxiao carefully checked Wei Liulang’s injuries and realized that his condition was much worse than she had imagined.
His voice was gone, his face was ruined, and he had lost an arm. He was almost half a cripple.
However, even so, he did not accept his fate. He practiced his martial arts bit by bit with unimaginable pain,
Therefore, he had internal injuries.
Su Xiaoxiao put an intravenous drip, and went on to work on debridement, bone grinding, suture… She also used some anti-inflammatory medicine and fever medicine.
Injuries and illnesses could be treated. If one type of medicine did not work, she had other methods, but some things… such as the destroyed appearance and voice, were very difficult to recover.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned and began to organize the remaining medical consumables.
When she bent down, the pouch at her waist opened, and a small black medicine bottle fell out. It hit the ground and opened.
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.
This little black egg… actually opened?
She picked up the medicine bottle and the body of the bottle. “So I have to break it open? No wonder I can’t twist it no matter how hard I try.”
There was a milky cream in the medicine bottle. Su Xiaoxiao sniffed it. “Is it applied or eaten?”
There was no special smell.
She dipped a skewer into it and tasted it. She retched—
This was not meant for consumption!
The pharmacy was really killing people. They didn’t even provide a manual for the medicine. What was going on?
Su Xiaoxiao felt that if she continued testing the medicine like this, she might become immune to poison.
Since it was applied, it should be effective on wounds or scars.
Su Xiaoxiao worked in the room until dawn.
Su Cheng put the children to bed while he accompanied his son-in-law down the corridor.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao come out, he hurriedly asked, “Daughter, how is he?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “The injuries that should be treated have been treated. I will have to observe him for two days before making the exact prognosis.”
His situation was different from Qin Canglan’s.
Qin Canglan was seriously injured, but he was immediately treated effectively and all possible infections had been eliminated.
Wei Liulang’s injuries did not seem to be fatal, but an infection could really kill.
She used all the medicine she could.
She hoped that Wei Liulang could survive.
“I’ll go in and see him,” Wei Ting said.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
Su Cheng looked at Su Xiaoxiao’s haggard expression and said with heartache,
“Daughter, you’re tired, right? Go rest for a while.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Dad, go rest too. I’ll sleep after brewing the medicine.” “I’ll brew it!” Su Cheng said.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “This medicine is a little complicated. I have to brew it myself. I’m fine. I slept too much during the day.”
After persuading Su Cheng to return to Qin Canglan, Su Xiaoxiao entered the room with the herbs.
Wei Ting sat quietly in front of the bed. “My sixth brother… will be fine, right?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’m confident about his injuries, but… are you sure he’ll agree to stay? He probably doesn’t want you to see him like this, right? What if he escapes again after he wakes up?”
Wei Ting said nothing.
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “You’d better not fight him anymore. I just st.i.tched him up. If he pulls his wound, it will intensify the infection.” “I understand.” Wei Ting clenched his fists. “I… won’t fight Sixth Brother again.” Wei Liulang slept until the afternoon of the third day.
Just as Su Xiaoxiao had expected, he was unwilling to face anyone with this broken body.
He secretly left the room while Wei Ting was going to the toilet.
Because of the medicine, he could not use his qinggong and internal strength for the time being. Fortunately, the wall of the Imperial Astronomy Center was not high, so he could climb over it without using his qinggong.
He came to the top of the wall and climbed up with his good left arm.
Just as he stuck half of his body out, he saw a small child holding a stick of candied hawthorn outside the courtyard wall looking up at him.
“What are you doing?”
Xiaohu asked..
