Farming and reading family

Chapter 55: Meeting Wu on the Road

It has to be said that Lu Hongliang was a useless person. In the early years, his family had an escort company. Later, he failed in escorting and the company lost all its money, so he led a few people who did not leave to work as thugs.

I also do some guarding work on a regular basis.

But he hates etiquette the most, and people who are particular about etiquette will not hire him, so he is very cheap and just wants to be paid a little as long as he has food and drink.

Fortunately, he is a loyal person with no bad intentions, and there are still a few people willing to hire him.

"Next to the vegetable market..." Fan Shiping said this with some helplessness, "Since you haven't slept enough, I'll go out and bring it back to you."

"Thank you." Lu Hongliang clasped his fists, stood up and left.

Fan Shiping originally didn't plan to go out, but he was worried that Lu Hongliang would cause trouble if he went out, so he decided to go by himself.

After arriving in He County, Gao E went to the vegetable market first. It was here that she met the person others called Fan Ye.

As a result, not to mention Fan Bingbing, even Peng Can didn’t meet her.

Afterwards, the two of them went to a busy place in He County, hoping to find out who was collecting crickets. However, everyone mocked them for daydreaming, saying that the person had extremely high requirements and wanted crickets only about an inch in size, which were not available at that time.

The two people asked but didn't get any results.

Seeing that it was almost noon, the two decided to find a restaurant to eat something.

Chen Ke did not blame Gao E for not finding out clearly beforehand. He was a man and these things should have been done by him.

But both of them were a little depressed.

Especially Gao E, who got up very early and was already a little tired.

Suddenly a woman fell in the middle of the road, and Chen Ke was so scared that he reined in his horse nervously.

"Hurry up and go, hurry up and go, this disease cannot be cured even by gods." The doctor urged in disgust.

Mrs. Wu was not angry, and knelt down again: "Please, even if you can't cure it, do you know a skilled doctor? I will go and ask him for help."

The doctor thought that the woman was here to destroy his reputation, so he closed the door immediately.

Gao E lifted the carriage curtain and looked for a long time: "Wu?"

Mrs. Wu's hair was disheveled and she looked a little embarrassed. When she heard someone calling her, she turned her head and looked over. She saw her elder sister and immediately tidied up the loose hair on her forehead with a look of pride.

Gao E didn't want to pay any attention to her when she saw her like this.

I thought she was in trouble and wanted to lend a hand, but now it seems that's not necessary.

"Let's go." Gao E said as she lowered the curtain.

Chen Ke knew the relationship between Gao and her brother's wife, so he drove away.

Mrs. Wu suddenly came over and spoke reluctantly, "Gao Liang calls you aunt after all. If you want, you can go see him one last time."

She didn't want to tell her husband's eldest sister, thinking that she would only gloat over her misfortune if she knew.

But if she doesn't tell anyone when she encounters it, it will be her fault later.

"What happened to Gao Liang?" Gao E suddenly lifted the car curtain.

Why does Mrs. Wu feel that her husband's eldest sister cares about her son?

Also.

Her son is now the only son in the Gao family, and this is what Gao E cares about.

"I'm sick. The doctor said I won't live for two days." As Mrs. Wu said this, tears started to fall from her eyes. She wiped them away stubbornly.

"Where is he?" Gao E asked directly.

She didn't really want to interact with the original owner's family, but as Chen Ke had asked her before, what would she do if something happened to her family?

Now her nephew is critically ill. As his aunt after all, it would be unreasonable for her not to go and see him.

Mrs. Wu stood up and walked in front with a staggering gait, looking disheartened.

Chen Ke followed behind, leading the horse. Gao E sat in the carriage and looked at Wu's back. She was such a strong person before, but now she looked so miserable.

After walking for a while, they stopped in front of a small house.

Mrs. Wu seemed to have thought of something: "This is the courtyard we bought for Liang'er so that he can study in the city."

She could almost imagine that her elder sister-in-law would scold her for being a spendthrift and mock her for being wishful thinking when she heard the news, saying that her son Liang'er was not cut out for studying.

Gao E thought that Wu must also be holding a grudge, hoping that she could also produce a scholar.

"Very good." Gao E said as she got off the carriage.

Wu looked at Gao E in surprise, thinking she had misheard.

But she didn't say anything else, took out the key and opened the door.

Gao E thought there was no one at home, otherwise why would the door be locked? But as soon as she entered the yard, she heard crying.

The crying sounded weak, as if it had been going on for a long time.

When Mrs. Wu heard the sound, she rushed into the house and saw her husband holding their son, who was crying so hard that he almost died.

Gao E also followed him into the house and tilted her head to see that Gao Chong and Gao Liang were covered in bloody scratches.

"What did the doctor say?" Gao Chong was so nervous that he didn't notice anyone else coming in.

Wu lowered her head and said, "Let's go to the state capital."

She knew that if she went to the state capital, she might lose everything.

The key point is that according to what the doctor said, her son’s condition may not allow him to survive until he reaches the state capital.

"Okay, let's go now." Gao Chong said immediately.

"What happened to the child?" Gao E tilted her head and looked at Gao Liang who was crying weakly.

Only then did Gao Chong realize that his sister had come.

The two siblings haven't been in contact for almost three years, and Gao Chong feels a little guilty.

"It's just what you see." Mrs. Wu said this but still moved aside.

Gao E only saw the blood marks on her face and neck, nothing else. At this time, Gao Chong grabbed his waist.

"Itchy?" Gao E looked at Gao Chong.

"I'm fine." Gao Chong said with a stiff upper lip.

Gao E then discovered the clue: "Is Gao Liang's illness contagious?"

Wu was shocked. The doctor only said to kill the snake, but judging by the way the doctor was avoiding it, it might be contagious.

Upon hearing that it was contagious, Chen Ke immediately stood in front of Gao E.

"You?" Wu looked at Gao Chong.

"I started to get a rash too." Gao Chong had no choice but to tell the truth.

Mrs. Wu became even more panicked. She couldn't bear to lose her son and then her husband.

"Your illness..." Gao E was a little uncertain. "Lift up Gao Liang's clothes and let me see."

"What are you looking at?" Mrs. Wu was still somewhat hostile.

"I think it's what the old people often say about long worms slipping away. If that's the case, I have a secret remedy." Gao E said uncertainly.

Wu looked at Gao E suspiciously, but now she had no other choice but to lift up the child's clothes.

Gao E confirmed it was shingles at first sight, but how could shingles occur at such a young age?

Wu looked at the doubt and understanding in Gao'e's eyes and asked, "Is that so?"

"Yes." Gao E nodded. "Don't touch or squeeze the fluid from the herpes. It's really contagious. I'll go get some medicine right away."

Wu was unsure: "You really have a way."

"At this point, do you have any other solutions?" Gao E asked back.

Wu and Gao Chong looked at each other. They really had no other choice.

Especially Gao Chong was also infected, so they could not go to the state capital.

"Okay." Mrs. Wu nodded.

"Let me be frank, this is just a folk remedy and may not be completely useful," Gao E reminded.
