Shu Yu smiled and said, "We want to go to town to see a doctor again. My hand is dislocated. Although my husband helped me to reset it, heâs not good at this after all. Iâll feel more at ease if we go to town to see him."
The village chiefâs family thought that it was right, so they did not stop them. After pointing them in the direction, they sent them out of the village.
Shu Yu was carried onto the horse by Meng Yunzheng, and the two of them slowly walked towards the town.
After half an hour, Meng Yunzheng booked two rooms in the biggest inn in town and helped Shu Yu into the room.
Although there were doctors in the town, Meng Yunzheng still planned to wait until Zhao Xi came to see him.
Shu Yu sat on the bed and asked him, "When will Doctor Zhao arrive?"
"At the latest, in the afternoon." He had left marks along the way, so it was easy for Zhao Xi to find them.
Shu Yu was relieved.
However, Zhao Xi arrived earlier than they had planned. Before noon, he had already appeared in the inn.
After finding the mark left by Meng Yunzheng, he directly knocked on the door of the room they were in. From the sound, it seemed that he was very angry.
Sure enough, as soon as Meng Yunzheng opened the door, Zhao Xi stepped into the room and said aggressively, "I say, youâre too inhumane. I wonât say that you rode the horse away. At least you can ride it back after youâre done. I..."
His nagging stopped when he saw Shu Yuâs right hand hanging up. He immediately took a few steps forward and said with a frown, "Is your hand injured?"
Then, he sat on the edge of the bed and asked her to take out her left hand to take her pulse.
Meng Yunzheng stood at the side and told him about yesterdayâs situation. "She rolled down the hill and her arm was dislocated. Her body was also covered in wounds from tree branches and stones. I applied ointment to her. Take a look at those branches and grass again to see if they are poisonous."
This was what he was most worried about.
Zhao Xi turned his head and glared at him. He calmed down and continued to take his pulse.
After a while, he retracted his hand and stood up to let her take a look at his arm. He then said, "Itâs nothing serious. The most serious problem is this arm. Itâs treated in time and will be fine after a few days."
Meng Yunzheng heaved a sigh of relief. Zhao Xi snorted coldly. "If it wasnât for the fact that Lady Lu was indeed injured and it was forgivable, I definitely wouldnât have let you off so easily. Do you know that I almost pulled that car over myself yesterday?"
"Oh." Meng Yunzheng didnât seem to believe her. "What happened after that?"
"Later, I was lucky and met a convoy. I asked them to let me tie the car to the back of their car, so I pulled it to the relay station."
Meng Yunzheng thought about it and agreed. With Zhao Xiâs temper, without a horse carriage, he might have directly camped in the wild. Anyway, there was food and drink in the carriage. He was a man, so he was not afraid to stay outside for a night.
However, upon hearing him mention the relay station, Shu Yu immediately asked, "Howâs the situation with the exiles? Is he staying at the same relay station as you?"
Zhao Xi nodded. "Yes, Madam Hou and her daughter fell off the cart and were injured. This was a small problem, but the main problem was that the official leading the group had fallen off a speeding mule cart, which was a bit serious. According to the journey, they would only stop at the next relay station. However, the leading officer was unconscious, so the others could only find the nearest relay station to rest and even found a doctor."
In such a small place, the doctorâs medical skills were not very good. Fortunately, the leader was lucky and did not hurt his vitals.
