Chapter 155: Severe Injury

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mu Yangling was shocked. “What trouble did he cause? Why is he avoiding people?”

Fei Bai kept his mouth shut. Although Mu Yangling would find out sooner or later, he could not be the one to tell her about the truth.

Qi Haoran and the other two were hiding behind a huge rock. When they saw Fei Bai bringing her over, they hurriedly came out. After glancing at Mu Yangling, he scolded him in a low voice, “Why did you bring her here? Didn’t I tell you to go see Young Master Fan?”

Fei Bai said with red eyes, “I know you trust her. Moreover, she’s Uncle Mu’s daughter. Young Master Zijin’s place is too far away. You can’t afford to wait any longer. Moreover, there are too many people in the camp.” Fei Bai looked at him as he said, “Right now, Eldest Young Master is touring the camp with a few other generals.”

Bai Li glanced at Mu Yangling and turned to leave without saying anything else.

Fei Bai quickly pulled Mu Yangling and followed.

Bai Li was the personal guard Qi Xiuyuan assigned to Qi Haoran. He usually did not appear by Qi Haoran’s side. After all, in Xingzhou Prefecture, no one would be stupid enough to offend Qi Haoran.

This was the second time Mu Yangling had seen him.

Qi Haoran was lying behind a huge rock with a pale face. Although his clothes were neat, Mu Yangling could still smell the faint smell of blood. Mu Shi was also sitting at the side with a pale face.

Mu Yangling looked at him with concern but did not ask. After all, everyone could tell that the person who needed attention the most was Qi Haoran.

Mu Yangling squatted beside him and asked, “Where are his injuries?”

Panting, Fei Bai said, “He was stabbed in the back and waist. Although the bleeding has stopped for the time being, it’s not handled well. Miss Mu, you have to quickly get a doctor for Young Master. We can’t let outsiders notice anything amiss.”

Mu Yangling was worried. “But how can we bring him out? There are many people working in the fields now. We’ll be discovered as soon as we go out.”

Fei Bai was stunned for a moment. “Young Master’s injuries can’t delay any longer.”

Mu Shi looked up at his daughter and said, “Don’t worry so much. Ah Ling, carry Little General out first. We’ll walk beside you and try our best to block others’ vision.” He then looked at Bai Li and said, “Change into Little General’s clothes and walk on Ah Ling’s left. Try your best to keep your body low. All Ling, go and get a roe deer. When you carry Little General out later, carry the roe deer on your shoulder.”

Fei Bai and Bai Li:”…”

Mu Yangling responded before sprinting into the forest. As she often moved around this area, she knew best where to hunt animals. At this moment, she couldn’t be bothered to conserve her energy. She sprinted over and rushed towards a roe deer.

The frightened roe deer jumped up and wanted to run, but it was knocked down by Mu Yangling’s fist. She carried the roe deer on her shoulder and ran back.

As Mu Shi was also injured and could not exert much strength at this moment, he could only let his daughter carry Qi Haoran carefully.

With the three of them surrounding Mu Yangling, their tall figures blocked most of the gazes that were directed at her. A small portion of the people who did see her would be distracted by the roe deer on her shoulder and ignore the fact that she was also carrying something in her arms.

Mu Yangling walked home briskly and carried Qi Haoran to her room to place him on the brick bed.

Only then did she unbutton his clothes. They realized that his chest had already split open, and blood was slowly seeping out. With reddened eyes, Fei Bai said, “The wound must have burst open on the way because the mountain path is difficult to travel. Miss Mu, please quickly call a doctor over.”

“Wait here. You can go in and out, but Bai Li must stay in the house.” Mu Yangling ran out and saw Shu Wanniang, who had heard the commotion and came out to check on the situation. Thinking quickly, she pushed Shu Wanniang into the house. “Mother, you’re sick now and can’t get off the brick bed. I’ll go get a doctor for you now. Please don’t get off the brick bed.”

Shu Wanniang paused before asking, “Ah Ling, what are you doing? Is your father back?”

Mu Yangling nodded and whispered, “Mother, the situation is urgent now, so I won’t elaborate. Anyway, you have to pretend to be sick now and deceive everyone except our family. No, it’s best if you can deceive our family too. I’ll go get a doctor now. Don’t go out.”

Mu Yangling ran out.

Shu Wanniang sat on the brick bed for a while. In the end, she lifted the blanket and lay down on the brick bed. She was smarter than Mu Yangling had imagined. In fact, because she had grown up in a prominent family, she was more meticulous than anyone else in such matters.

Therefore, when Mu Yangling came back with Pang Kongqing from Benevolence Hall, Bowen and Xiulan were standing on the steps crying with red eyes. Xiuhong was also boiling hot water in the kitchen with red eyes.

Great-aunt was anxiously pacing around Shu Wanniang’s room. Mu Yangling had just run to the door when she heard her great-aunt ask her mother anxiously, “Why are you so shy? Let me see where the smell of blood comes from. Why is it so strong? You’re making me so anxious.”

Startled, Mu Yangling hurriedly pushed the door open to enter. Shu Wanniang was lying on the brick bed. When she saw her daughter pulling a doctor in, she hurriedly waved her hand to indicate that she was fine.

Mu Yangling heaved a sigh of relief and pulled the doctor to her room.

Great-aunt grabbed the doctor and shouted, “Doctor, you have to save my nephew’s wife. Although her health has always been poor, she has never bled so much. You have to help her.”

Noticing something amiss, the originally-anxious Pang Kongqing looked at Mu Yangling suspiciously.

Mu Yangling waved at her great-aunt and said in a low voice, “Great-aunt, just continue shouting like this while I bring the doctor to my room.”

Great-aunt’s eyes widened. “How…” Just as she said this word, Shu Wanniang nimbly covered her mouth and whispered, “Aunt, my husband is back.”

Great-aunt pulled away her hand and, seeing that something was amiss, also said in a hushed tone, “I know that Shi Tou is back. Isn’t he sitting outside?” At the thought of Mu Shi’s unusually pale face, her expression changed slightly. She looked at Pang Kongqing before looking at Mu Yangling suspiciously. “Did you invite the doctor over for Shi Tou?”

Shu Wanniang didn’t know, but she didn’t intend to ask her daughter. She just pulled Great-aunt over and said, “Aunt, let’s not worry about it. My stomach hurts. Please bring me a basin of hot water.” This was naturally an excuse. Madam Ma-Liu thought for a moment and still went.

Mu Yangling pulled Pang Kongqing to her room. Pang Kongqing hurriedly wanted to break free from her, but he soon realized that she was quite strong and couldn’t get away from her. His expression couldn’t help but change. “Miss Mu, I only agreed to treat your mother, but I didn’t agree to anything else.”

Mu Yangling threatened him in a lowered voice, “Physician Pang, you’ve already come this far and even heard something you shouldn’t have. Do you think you can still leave?”

Pang Kongqing was furious. “You’re threatening me? Don’t forget that I’m a doctor.”

Mu Yangling sneered. “Is Physician Pang alone?” Seeing his expression change slightly, Mu Yangling said, “Physician Pang, don’t worry. It’s just inconvenient for my cousin to go to your pharmacy. We’ll certainly pay the consultation fee. Although he’s a person who lives a dangerous life, he’s also the most trustworthy. You’ll benefit greatly from treating him. He definitely won’t find trouble with you over such a small matter..”
