The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Chapter 420: Meeting but Not Recognizing Each Other

If you want to talk, tears will flow first.

"After so many years, you have grown into a big girl."

"Why did you come here? It's so chaotic and unsafe. What should I do..."

Fan Xuanyu was only five years old when he left home, and he could no longer remember the faces of his mother and brothers.

But the wonderful connection between blood relatives and the similar appearance make them feel extremely close when they are together even though they haven't seen each other for more than ten years.

"Lang...Xuan Yu, how have you been these years?"

He Jiajing didn't care that they couldn't recognize each other when they met. As long as she knew that Sister Lang was fine, she would be content.

"When I was little, I suffered a natural disaster and had to flee everywhere with my mother and sister. Now I've learned a skill that's enough to support myself."

Fan Xuanyu picked up the important things he had experienced over the years and talked about them. He Jiajing listened carefully, not wanting to miss any of them.

Fang Youming looked around while fetching water. After returning to the house, he made a gesture and led Fan Xuanyu down a passage.

He Jiajing was helping to cover up and talking to herself.

The youngest, Fang Youpu, took the bamboo basket to the door and imitated her mother, sewing clothes there.

When they arrived at the cellar, Fang Youming lit the kerosene lamp, and Fan Xuanyu quickly opened the medicine box he brought with him.

This medicine box was brought here hidden in a basket. It is very small and contains everything necessary.

"There's a wound in the abdomen."

Fang Youming reminded him quietly, and Fan Xuanyu asked him to bring the lamp closer.

Fang Youming half-knelt beside him, and Fan Xuanyu put on his sleeves and began to strip Duan Chengkang of his clothes.

After removing the cloth wrapped around the waist layer by layer, it was discovered that the infection was severe.

She wore a white cloth that covered her nose and mouth tightly, leaving only her eyes exposed.

In the light of the candle, she didn't blink at all as she calmly and quickly treated the wound.

As a brother, Fang Youming felt uncomfortable watching his sister treating a man's wound with her upper body stripped off.

But after a while, he no longer felt that way.

He watched as his sister used a very thin knife to cut away the necrotic flesh bit by bit until the bright red flesh inside was exposed.

The hand holding the candle was shaking slightly, and Fan Xuanyu was dazzled by the flickering candlelight.

"do not move."

Fang Youming obediently held the lamp with both hands and did not dare to disturb her again.

After Fan Xuanyu dug out the rotten flesh, she first used distilled liquor in a bottle to slowly rinse the wound to wash away the blood that was constantly spreading.

Blood flowed down his abdomen and soon soaked the ground.

"who are you?"

Kang Ge'er, who was awakened by the pain, had a groggy head and could only vaguely see a woman kneeling beside him.

"Seeking the Lu girl to learn from Fan Xuanyu."

Xuan Yu turned his face slightly, and only then did he have time to look at the person lying on the ground.

She had met Madam Hou, a kind-looking old lady who had brought her some delicious snacks.

The man lying in front of her with a face as pale as paper was the old lady's grandson. She had heard several times in the capital that the old lady went out of the city to pray for blessings for this young general.

Hearing the words "Xun Lu Nu Xue", Kang Ge'er felt better. The pain in his abdomen made his breathing heavier.

"Have you heard any news about the Marquis' Mansion in the capital? Are the old lady and the others all well?"

If my grandmother was in good health, she would stay at the farm for a few days almost every once in a while, and then take a walk to the girls' school.

"The old lady is fine. She came to see us before leaving Beijing."

He seemed to be in good condition. Fan Xuanyu kept him awake and talked to him.

She sprinkled cleaning powder on the wound, but it was quickly washed away by the gushing blood.

"That's good. Is she still in good health?"

During the coma, Kang Ge'er had a long dream. In the dream, he was still a child, staying in his grandmother's house all day, accompanying her to tinker with some strange things.

I also dreamed of many people, my mother, father, fourth uncle, cousin, cousin, Master Cheng, and many more.

Oh, and there’s your younger brother too. In the dream, he was running around with him in the palace, and then he bumped into a wall and got trapped inside and couldn’t get out.

"Yeah, my hair has turned a lot grayer."

Kangger's nose felt sore. His grandmother was old and her hair was probably all white.

Fan Xuanyu used cotton to clean the blood from the wound, sprinkled it with medicinal powder, rinsed it off and sprinkled it again. When the medicinal powder was applied to the wound, she began to bandage it.

"There's still some poison in your body. Does Miss Xuan Yu have any antidote pills?"

Kang Ge'er felt so uncomfortable that he had to take a breath twice before saying a word.

"Bring it."

She brought everything with her, especially several bottles of medicine given to her by the dean, all of which were secret medicines worth thousands of gold.

She took out one and fed it to the little general.

Kang Ge'er wanted to stand up, but was held down by someone.

"Don't move, or you'll tear the wound and have to rebandage it."

Fang Youming, who had been waiting for a long time without saying anything, interrupted anxiously at this time.

"Xuan Yu, is the young general okay?"

Fan Xuanyu was packing his things and replied. "It depends on the situation. The fever hasn't subsided yet. I'll put a few bottles of medicine here. Take one tonight. After the fever subsides tomorrow, take the pills in this red bottle, two a day."

"We can't make medicine here. I'll go back to the girls' school and quietly make it. You can come get it once in the evening and give it to him twice, tonight and tomorrow morning, after heating it up."

After she finished explaining, she looked at General Duan lying on the ground.

"Young General, Dean Liao asked me to see you and tell you that once you are able to get up, I will take you to the girls' school to hide for a while. You shouldn't stay here for long."

After saying that, she took out the jade pendant from her arms, the one inlaid with gold and jade, and put it into his hand.

Kang Ge'er, who was still wondering who Dean Liao was, understood everything when he touched the jade pendant in his hand.

"Okay, I understand. Send someone to pick me up tomorrow."

I can't stay here for too long. If someone is watching here, I'm afraid I'll be exposed.

The current Mu City is as chaotic as porridge, with good and bad people mixed together. It is better to be cautious.

After coming out, Fan Xuanyu had already been in Fang's house for more than half an hour, and it was time to leave.

He Jiajing couldn't bear to let her daughter go, so she pulled her daughter to watch it, as if she couldn't see enough.

"Aunt, I'm leaving now. I'll come to see you when I have time."

To outsiders, Fan Xuanyu had to call He Jiajing "Auntie".

He Jiajing nodded with tears in her eyes and sent her out.

When leaving, Fan Xuanyu couldn't bear it and turned around to hug her.

Then he turned around and left.

He Jiajing stood there in a daze, the word in her ear seemed to circle around her non-stop.

Finally, looking at my daughter's back, tears started to fall again.

……

"How come we can't even find a single person? They're a bunch of rubbish, even the poisoned and injured are like that."

The person behind the scenes scolded his men and drove them out, then paced around the room in a somewhat annoyed manner.

After walking back and forth several times, he seemed to make up his mind and wrote two letters.

With the appearance of the messenger, both letters left the city, one to the west and the other to the east.

As expected by Fang Youming and Dean Liao, someone was keeping an eye on the Fang family from behind.
