"Yes, there's just too much. We don't need that much at all."

"It's good that there's no mistake. It's okay if there are too many planks; we can use them next time."

As soon as Yan Xiao finished speaking, he received a cold glare from his master, which made him shrink back and dare not speak again.

"Guard Yan, bring two planks to help me support myself."

Before Yan Xiao could respond, she suddenly felt a strong gaze, like a sharp arrow shooting straight at her.

The gaze carried an inexplicable pressure and authority, causing him to involuntarily shiver.

Looking up, he saw his master staring at him blankly.

"I'll do it. You hold the injured person down and don't let him move around."

Yan Xiao froze, stunned. Murong Xun took the wooden board from his hand as a matter of course and replaced it.

Yan Xiao dared not complain and could only stand in the spot where her master had just been and obediently press down on the injured man.

Xue Ruanruan didn't care; it wasn't a difficult move anyway, so it didn't matter who was helping her.

After reattaching the severed limb, she sprayed strong liquor on the wound several times and then wrapped it with white cotton gauze.

They didn't stop until the injured man's entire leg was wrapped in a layer of white cotton gauze. Then they instructed Murong Xun to fix two wooden boards to the broken end, keeping them straight with the leg.

They continued to use cotton gauze to fix the wooden board to the limbs. At this moment, the injured person suddenly woke up from his coma, let out a loud shout, and jumped off the bed.

The speed of the action was beyond anyone's expectations.

Caught off guard, Xue Ruanruan's cheek was swept by the other person's leg, and the pain brought tears to her eyes.

Just as the other party was about to continue, Murong Xun swiftly grabbed him and pinned him down. Yan Xiao also reacted quickly and pressed him firmly against the bed, rendering him unable to move.

Murong Xun looked at Xue Ruanruan, whose eyes were glistening with tears, and then shot a cold, sharp look at Yan Xiao.

"Miracle Doctor, I'm so sorry. I was watching you bandage the wound and didn't notice that the patient had already woken up."

Yan Xiao felt a chill run down her spine and broke out in a cold sweat. She felt guilty and sincerely apologized.

"It's alright. Hold the injured person down and don't let him move. I'll check if the sutures at the wound have broken."

Xue Ruanruan, undeterred by the trouble, unwrapped the newly applied gauze and carefully examined the other person's wound bit by bit.

Seeing that the sutures at the wound were intact and had not broken or shifted, I felt relieved and tied the wooden board on.

"Let me go! Who are you people? Don't kill me! I'll go to my father for the gambling debts. Please, don't kill me!"

The injured man screamed and howled as if possessed, trying to struggle but was firmly pressed to the bed and could not move at all.

"You wretched child, how dare you go to that filthy place to gamble on your own! And look what happened, those ruthless people chased you to your home and broke both your legs, almost costing you your life!"

If it weren't for this kind-hearted girl's rescue, pulling you back from the brink of death, you would have already died from excessive blood loss.

What terrible things did I do in my past life to give birth to such a troublesome and useless person like you?

The old man was filled with mixed emotions of joy and sorrow. He was happy that his son's life had been saved, but the thought of the huge gambling debts he still owed to the gambling den filled him with despair.

"Father, please save me! Those people really want to kill me, Father!"

When the injured man saw his father there, he grasped at the last straw.

Murong Xun frowned, waved his hand, and the person who was crying and screaming just a moment ago instantly fainted.

The air was eerily quiet. The old man opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't dare to say anything.

He knew he was in the wrong, and that his son's actions would disturb the girl's medical treatment.

"continue."

The cool yet authoritative voice calmed Xue Ruanruan's mind, allowing her to continue her work.

Mrs. Dong was startled and secretly rejoiced that her younger sister had pulled her back just as she hadn't been able to hold back her laughter.

Otherwise, will I end up like that next time, getting slapped unconscious?

Time passed slowly, and by the time all the wounds of the injured had been treated, it was already noon.

The old man was extremely grateful and kept thanking him.

Xue Ruanruan looked at the old man with a full head of white hair, thought of that shop, opened her mouth but didn't say anything.

Let's just consider it a good deed.

We can look for another shop; we can't let our own selfish interests ruin someone else's livelihood.

"This medicine should be taken by your son for one month, one pill a day, without interruption."

Xue Ruanruan rummaged through the medicine box and found a bottle of medicine, handing it to the old man.

"Alright, thank you, young lady. How much do you think I should pay for the consultation? I'll go and prepare it right away."

"Give me whatever you think is appropriate, any amount is fine."

"Young lady, you have shown me great kindness in saving my son's life. I will never forget it. There is something else I wonder if you would be interested in."

The old man was not a fool. Considering that he still owed the gambling den a debt, he had no choice but to use the shop left by his ancestors to pay off the debt.

If you act too hastily, the price will definitely be much lower than the market price. You might as well ask the girl if she's interested in buying it first.

If so, it would be better to only accept the remaining gambling debts and give the rest to the girl, thus fulfilling one's gratitude.

"what's up?"

Aside from the shop, Xue Ruanruan had no interest in anything else, but she couldn't very well refuse the old man by saying she had no interest.

"I know that the kindness you showed to my son in saving his life cannot be measured by money. However, my unfilial son still owes the gambling debts to the gambling den. I am planning to sell the shop in the market. I wonder if you would be interested?"

Xue Ruanruan's eyes lit up. It was exactly what she wanted. Wasn't it because she wanted to buy the other person's shop that she stepped in to help?

"Don't worry, young lady. If you want our shop, it will definitely be much cheaper than the market price. The location is also excellent. Whether you resell it or open your own shop in the future, you're guaranteed to make a profit. However, I urgently need money to help my unfilial son pay off his debts, so I need to pay the full amount."

The old man was perceptive; he guessed from Xue Ruanruan's expression that she was interested in his shop, and then he tried to persuade her.

Selling a shop is a bargain opportunity for the buyer. Since they're going to sell it eventually anyway, they might as well transfer it to this young lady. It'll be a good sale and a positive connection.

"If the owner really wants to sell that shop, has the price been agreed upon?"

Xue Ruanruan was naturally interested; no one knew the value of that shop better than she did.

"It's settled. My unfilial son owes three thousand taels of gambling debt. I will only accept this amount. The rest is to thank you for saving my son's life today."

The old man wanted to sell well, so he adopted a very humble attitude, and the price was indeed cheap.

Xue Ruanruan couldn't find any fault with it, and she was calculating in her mind how much money she still needed.

It seems that all he has on hand is the five hundred taels of silver given to him by his sister-in-law's family today. The silver notes given by the Regent Prince were already entrusted to Xiao Dongjia to be delivered to his brother who is far away on the frontier.
