Chapter 900 The Scholar Who Abandoned His Husband and Children 10
Xiao Yun sat in the carriage and watched them put the wild boar in the luggage area at the back of the carriage. The luggage that had been there earlier was moved to the front of the carriage to prevent the wild boar from being too heavy and causing the carriage to tilt backward.
Xiao Yun tried to sit to one side to make room for her things. Since the previous injury was to the internal bones, the fact that her leg was not twisted or deformed would not seem strange to others.
Of course, she also used some tricks to deceive Li Gui. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to fool her. When she got to the doctor, she would have had to hypnotize him. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to fool him.
Although it was more troublesome to do this, she would rather go through the trouble than suffer the pain than hurt herself. She was only ruthless to others, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Besides, she has plenty of talismans; why doesn't she need to save them for having babies?
After they tied up the wild boar, Xiao Yun used his divine sense to watch as the group returned to their respective cars and set off again. He wondered if the other four, who had prepared in advance, had gotten their pants dirty.
The rest of the journey was much smoother, since Xiao Yun was no longer causing trouble, and we were in a hurry to get her leg treated, so we didn't stop along the way and went straight down the mountain.
If you walk about seven miles down the official road, you'll find a town. This town was specifically set up for travelers to rest and resupply. It was originally a post station set up by the imperial court, but later, many people from nearby villages came to do business here, so they simply established a town here.
The town is small, with only a few hundred households, but it is quite prosperous. The streets are lined with shops selling all kinds of things, as well as various craftsmen's shops. There are five inns alone, not counting the guesthouses.
Xiao Yun began observing with his divine sense as soon as he descended the mountain, so he had a general understanding of the basic situation of this town called Qilidian.
Li Gui drove her carriage directly to the front of a medical clinic. She would stay in this town every time she passed through Hujushan, so she was quite familiar with the area.
This clinic is the only one in town, and the doctor there is quite skilled. He can handle most common injuries and illnesses, if not rare or complicated cases.
The Chen family's oxcart also stopped here. Perhaps because they had encountered wild boars together before and had developed some acquaintance, they did not separate from them immediately after entering the town, but instead came to the clinic together.
Perhaps they thought it wouldn't be bad to go to the capital together, at least there would be more people to look after each other. Of course, Xiao Yun's martial arts skills also opened their eyes.
Although she was injured, they could tell from what they saw that it was an accident. Just the fact that she killed a large wild boar with a rock showed that her fighting skills were not bad.
Moreover, she was willing to step forward and save the person who was driving her carriage, so her character must be good. Based on this alone, she is someone I can befriend.
So when they arrived at the clinic, the three of them got out of the car and helped lift her out.
In fact, Xiao Yun could have gotten off the bus by herself; she had only "injured" one leg, not become paralyzed. However, since the other party meant well, she didn't refuse.
When we entered the clinic, it was probably close to dinner time, and there were no patients inside, only an old woman and a young apprentice arranging medicinal herbs.
Li Gui called out, "Aunt Lin, please come and take a look. This person's leg was injured by a wild boar!"
Upon hearing this, the doctor, who was called Aunt Lin, quickly came out from behind the counter and asked as she walked, "Is that Li Gui? Sending someone to the capital again? How did you run into a wild boar?"
Unexpectedly, the two knew each other. Li Gui briefly recounted how she encountered the wild boar and how Xiao Yun was injured while saving her.
The old doctor listened to Xiao Yun's explanation while examining her. Xiao Yun noticed that she was multitasking and not looking into his eyes, so he couldn't hypnotize her for a while. He had no choice but to stick on an illusion talisman and continue using the illusion technique.
This talisman only works for one hour in an environment without spiritual energy; the previous one had already become ineffective.
After listening to Li Gui's description and pressing on Xiao Yun's leg to determine where she was injured, the old doctor instructed the apprentice to bring medicine to reapply the medicine and bandage her leg.
Then they suggested resting for three months. Of course, resting here is definitely not an option. Although it's still a few days' journey to Beijing, the road ahead is relatively flat with almost no mountain roads. As long as you take good care of your leg and don't put weight on it, it should be fine.
Once we get to the capital, we can find a better doctor, and maybe we'll recover faster.
The doctor seemed hesitant to speak, probably thinking about the timing of the imperial examinations, but ultimately didn't say anything.
After all, telling a candidate who's on his way to take the imperial examination that he can't participate would be too discouraging. Besides, if she were to give up and turn back the way she came, walking that mountain path might ruin her legs, and she wouldn't be able to participate in the future at all, she wouldn't even be qualified.
So the old doctor didn't say anything more, but obviously everyone else had also thought of it. Chen Jiahui and Chen Jiamin couldn't help but look at Xiao Yun with sympathy.
Xiao Yun also feigned a somewhat dejected look, but it only lasted a moment before she quickly regained her composure and said with feigned ease, "It's alright, I'll see a doctor when we get to the capital. Maybe if I recover well along the way and take good care of myself, I'll recover ahead of schedule~"
There are still about two months until the spring imperial examinations begin. If the preparations are complete, then it's definitely possible to participate.
When others heard her say that, they thought it was possible. Although it is said that it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, it does not mean that it must take a full hundred days to heal. It just means that one should be careful during this period, as the injured area is more vulnerable.
Although the scientific expedition was tough and I barely had to move my legs, if I had an injury and encountered a rainy day, it would be really tough. I probably wouldn't be able to concentrate on answering the questions, which would definitely have an impact.
After changing the dressing, Dr. Lin explained the precautions and prescribed some ointments. Knowing that they were in a hurry, he did not prescribe any oral medications, only topical ones.
Keep her leg immobilized like this for as long as possible until the bone heals completely before removing the plate, otherwise it will easily become dislocated later.
Li Gui rushed to pay the consultation fee, and then they stayed at the inn closest to Lin's Medical Clinic.
At this time, there weren't many candidates going to the capital for the imperial examinations, and it was winter with the New Year approaching, so most merchants had returned home, leaving many rooms empty in the inns.
There aren't many people like them who head to Beijing early; most people set off after the New Year, which is when the peak season begins.
The group booked four rooms directly. They should have booked five, but Li Gui insisted on sharing a room with Xiao Yun, worried that it would be inconvenient for her to get up at night. After all, she was injured while saving Xiao Yun, and she would feel even more guilty if she didn't let Xiao Yun take care of her.
Xiao Yun gave in when her refusal was fruitless. It was only the first night, so she let her keep watch and let her know that she didn't need to get up at night. She could refuse again tomorrow.
After booking the room and taking Xiao Yun to her room, Li Gui told her what was going on and went to deal with the wild boar. Although the inn provided meals, it was the off-season and they couldn't finish the whole thing, so she went to ask at a nearby restaurant if they could take it all.
The world already has the technology to castrate pigs, so pork is not just for ordinary people; it is also consumed by the wealthy and powerful, and there are many ways to cook it. Wild boar still sells very well.
Li Gui returned shortly afterward with three taels of silver, more than he had expected.
Xiao Yun only took one tael of silver, and gave the other two taels to Li Gui and the three members of the Chen family to share. Everyone who sees it gets a share, and besides, they even helped carry the pig.
Li Gui refused to accept any money, saying that she had been saved by others and couldn't possibly accept any. However, she did send one tael to the Chen family, since she couldn't make decisions for them.
However, the Chen family didn't want it. They only helped carry the wild boar. They felt bad about taking so much money from them, so in the end, the three taels of silver still ended up in Xiao Yun's hands.
Whether someone wants it or not is one thing, whether she gives it or not is another; it's a matter of attitude.
