"Can he save my mother?"
Hearing Xu Hengyi's words, Wu Hongyun stopped crying, looked at Xie Jiang, who seemed unreal, with disbelief, and a flicker of hope lit up her swollen eyes.
Xu Hengyi said, "My elder brother's whereabouts are hard to find, and his return date is uncertain. The one who has the greatest hope of treating your mother right now is only Young Master Xie. Young Master Xie's medical skills are no less than my elder brother's."
Wu Hongyun seemed to have found her last straw, and knelt down to Xie Jiang with a thud, "Please, sir, save my mother! Please, sir, show mercy and save my mother..."
As if she couldn't feel the hardness of the stone slab, Wu Hongyun kowtowed and begged repeatedly.
"Young Master Xie..." Xu Hengyi couldn't bear to see it, and looked at Xie Jiang expectantly.
The middle-aged Taoist also had a look of compassion.
Xie Jiang looked at Xu Hengyi, "You help her up first."
Xu Hengyi's eyes lit up, and he quickly went to pull Wu Hongyun up, then asked Xie Jiang excitedly, "You agreed?!"
"For the sake of the young girl's filial piety, I will make a trip."
Looking at Wu Hongyun's swollen and bleeding forehead, Xie Jiang wasn't actually very moved.
They were all people on the verge of death, so what was there to care about, whether it was joy or sorrow.
Wu Hongyun didn't know at this time that she had been targeted by a devil.
She also didn't know that the Young Master Xie, who brought her great hope and seemed like an immortal, was coldly observing the misfortune that was about to befall her. kuAiδugg
Wu Hongyun only knew at this moment that her critically ill mother might be saved, and she bowed repeatedly in excitement.
Xu Hengyi was also very excited. It felt good to save people from dire straits. Although it was Young Master Xie who made the move, he had also helped.
"Shall we eat lunch first? Or..." Xu Hengyi asked cautiously.
Young Master Xie was a big shot, so naturally, his opinion was paramount.
Xie Jiang was always decisive, "Saving a life is like putting out a fire. The sooner, the more hope. Let's go now."
He had no interest in the vegetarian dishes of Yuxu Palace anyway.
Xu Hengyi immediately said to the middle-aged Taoist, "Daoist Zhang, please tell the kitchen to keep the vegetarian dishes for us. We'll come back to eat later."
Then he said to Wu Hongyun, "Where is your home, girl? Lead the way quickly."
"Amitabha."
Daoist Zhang bowed to the retreating backs of Xie Jiang and Xu Hengyi.
...
Among the ordinary civilian houses, the Wu family's house was still quite spacious, but now a mud wall had enclosed most of the courtyard, leaving only two rooms facing the shade.
Xu Hengyi couldn't stay still in the room and paced in the small courtyard.
It wasn't that he disliked it; the room was small but very clean.
It was just that Madam Zhou looked too tragic, beaten all over, and now on the verge of death, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"How can there be such a beast, who can be so cruel to his own wife and daughter!"
If Wu Hongyun's scumbag father were here, Xu Hengyi would have beaten him to death!
The attendant who had followed Xu Hengyi since he was young said, "The neighbors say that Wu Laosan wasn't like this before, and the Wu family lived comfortably. Later, he became addicted to gambling and started to disown everyone."
"Why not be a good person and insist on being a beast!" Xu Hengyi was very angry.
Yi Shan, his attendant, also felt pity, "The Wu family girl is quite pitiful. If she hadn't been lucky enough to meet us and Young Master Xie today, her mother might have died."
Xu Hengyi frowned, "Indeed. If her mother dies, she will eventually be beaten to death by her beast-like father."
Yi Shan sighed inwardly. It would be clean if she were beaten to death, but he feared a fate worse than death.
Another attendant, who had been sent to buy medicine, ran back sweating profusely, carrying several packages of medicinal herbs.
"Young Master, I'll go help decoct the medicine first."
After greeting Xu Hengyi, he hurried into the kitchen.
