The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Chapter 491 Picked up a person

Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi were almost thrown out of the carriage by the sudden brakes. Fortunately, Xiao Mubei was quick-witted and grabbed Chu Yunxi with one hand, and grabbed the window frame of the carriage with his other hand, finally stabilizing himself.

Chu Yunxi was so frightened that her heart was pounding. She stretched out her hand to open the car door and asked, "What happened?"

Bai Yu replied from the front: "There is a person lying on the ground. I will go down to take a look."

As he said that, he jumped down, while Hei Mu stayed on the carriage, while Zi Han, the purple-robed guards, and the royal guards all reined in their horses.

Bai Yu stepped forward and saw a boy of about eighteen or nineteen years old lying on the ground. He was dressed in black and had a thin build. At the moment, his face was pale, his breath was weak, and he was unconscious.

Bai Yu called out, "My Lord and Princess, it's a young man. He seems to be seriously injured and dying."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mubei came out of the carriage. He looked at the young man's pale face without a trace of blood, then lifted his clothes and saw scratches on his body so deep that you could see the bones. He must have bled a lot. Although no blood could be seen on the black clothes, one could tell by touching it that the clothes had been stained with blood countless times and were now hard.

Xiao Mubei frowned and said, "Why do these scars look like they were scratched by a wild beast? Is there a large wild beast nearby?"

Chu Yunxi also got off the carriage at this time. She squatted down opposite Xiao Mubei and looked at the boy's wound. She said, "It's not nearby. He has been injured for at least three days. This means that he escaped after being injured and walked here with perseverance."

Xiao Mubei was a little surprised. "He can hold on for three days despite such a serious injury. This young man has extraordinary perseverance."

Chu Yunxi said to Bai Yu and Hei Mu, "Carry him onto the carriage."

Bai Yu hesitated and said: "Princess, he is dirty..."

You have to know that Chu Yunxi's carriage was covered with a fox fur carpet given by Queen Mother Nan Dirong. It was very luxurious and difficult to take care of, so Xiao Mubei never let outsiders get on their carriage. Now this injured young man was covered in dust and blood, how could he get on Chu Yunxi's carriage?

Chu Yunxi looked at Xiao Mubei, who also looked reluctant. She understood that the carriage was where Xiao Mubei asked her to rest, but there were no other carriages available at the moment, so she thought for a moment and said, "There are blankets in the back of the carriage. Find one and spread it out. When we get to the next town, we can move the people off and throw away the blankets."

Xiao Mubei knew that it would be difficult to let Chu Yunxi stand by and watch the boy die, so he ordered Bai Yu to do as Chu Yunxi said. He personally lifted the boy up together with Hei Mu.

As soon as he lifted it up, a red bead fell out from the boy's body. It was about the size of a fist and looked very unusual. Chu Yunxi bent down to pick it up and said, "What is this?"

Xiao Mubei took a look and didn't see it either, so Chu Yunxi put it in the bag at her waist, planning to give it to the boy after he woke up. Then she got on the carriage with Xiao Mubei.

The carriage had a large space, and even though there was one person in it, it was not crowded for Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi to sit together. Chu Yunxi wanted to treat the boy's injuries, so Xiao Mubei ordered the team to go into the woods beside the official road to rest. Everyone had a good time to eat, and Chu Yunxi sat on the ground in the carriage, opened the boy's clothes, took out iodine and cleaned the area around his wounds. The wounds were too deep and there were many of them, so the boy had no reaction at all. Only the slightly rising and falling chest proved that he was still alive. Chu Yunxi gave him anesthesia and then began to sew his wounds.

Healing on one's own would be too slow, so Chu Yunxi concentrated on sewing the stitches. As she was pregnant, this position made her very uncomfortable, but in order to save others, she had to endure it. She was very focused, and soon beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Xiao Mubei took a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat off her forehead. He said with some concern, "Take a rest."

Chu Yunxi didn't even raise her head. "No, the effect of the anesthetic will wear off soon. I have to hurry up and finish the stitches."

Xiao Mubei had no choice but to watch from the side. Chu Yunxi worked for almost an hour before she finally sewed up all the wounds on the boy's body. He smelled of blood and his clothes were hard to button. Chu Yunxi said, "Throw away his clothes and cover him with a blanket first. When we get to the next town, we'll buy him a new set of clothes."

Xiao Mubei's face turned ugly and he said, "No, wait until we get to the next town and buy some clothes before throwing it away."

Chu Yunxi saw how angry he was and felt amused. She said, "He's just a child. Are you jealous of him?"

"He is a man." Xiao Mubei said in a firm tone.

Seeing that he had no room for negotiation, Chu Yunxi could only shake her head helplessly. She decided to just make do with it for the time being. Fortunately, the next town wasn't far away.

After taking a break, the group set out on the road again and arrived at the next town before dark. They found an inn and Xiao Mubei arranged for someone to buy clothes for the boy and wipe his body. Finally, he was clean and put to bed. The blanket in the carriage was also taken away and thrown away.

At night, the boy developed a high fever and his face was red. Chu Yunxi touched it and estimated that the fever was more than 39 degrees. She gave him a fever-reducing injection, assigned someone to watch over him, and hung up anti-inflammatory water, asking the person to call her when he was done underwater.

Chu Yunxi got up several times that night to reduce the boy's fever and change the medicine. Xiao Mubei didn't sleep much either. By the time the boy's fever finally stabilized, it was already dawn.

Chu Yunxi was exhausted after a night of sleep and fell asleep as soon as she got on the carriage. Xiao Mubei hired another carriage to take the young man, and he stayed with Chu Yunxi to catch up on her sleep.

When they were almost at Yinghe Town, the boy finally woke up.

As soon as he woke up, he immediately grabbed the neck of the purple guard who was taking care of him in the carriage. How could the purple guard just sit there and wait for his turn? He immediately attacked back, and the boy blocked. The two of them started fighting in the carriage. After a few moves, the carriage was knocked flying with a "bang", and the purple guard flew out with it.

Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi were in the carriage in front. When they heard the sound, they immediately lifted the curtain and looked back. They saw the purple-clothed guard on the ground standing up with his hands covering his chest. The young man was standing on the broken carriage. The purple-clothed guards and the royal guards outside had surrounded him.

Xiao Mubei's face changed and he blurted out, "You saved an ungrateful wolf."

After saying that, he immediately went out, flew to the front of the carriage, and said, "Young man, we saved you. Is this how you treat your savior?"

The young man tilted his head slightly, his voice a little stiff, "Hmm...?"
