The wicked mother-in-law doesn't try to whitewash herself; she only abuses her awful children.

Chapter 311 The wound became infected

Whether they are brothers or cousins, they are definitely in cahoots.

"Did you encounter enemies chasing you?" Tong Huaqiong asked.

The child nodded.

"Where are you from?" Tong Huaqiong asked again.

The child then fell silent, instead asking, "Will my uncle die?"

Tong Huaqiong glanced at the ground and said, "If he can survive tonight, he won't die."

The child's expression visibly relaxed.

Tong Huaqiong said, "I saved your uncle and you. If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have saved you. Besides, I'll take you home to heal your wounds. Come on, tell me your name?"

The child's big eyes darted around, and he said, "My name is Xiaolong."

Little Dragon.

The name is quite ordinary.

Man'er said from the side, "Xiaolong, you have to come home with us now."

Then he pulled Xiaolong aside and introduced Tong Huaqiong and the others.

Xiao Long rubbed his eyes, looked up at Tong Huaqiong and said, "Grandma, I'm sleepy."

Well, I've gained another grandson for free.

It's just a matter of whether this grandson is a bolt from the blue or a lucky charm.

Xiao Long had been on edge all day, but now that he was relaxed and had eaten a lot of snacks, his eyelids were drooping and he was too sleepy to sit still.

Tong Huaqiong pinched his cute cheeks and reached out to hug him.

Soon, Xiaolong fell into a deep sleep as Tong Huaqiong clapped his hands to the beat.

Two hours later, the carriage finally arrived at Qinghe Bay.

"Mother, you're back. Was the journey safe?"

When Gu Jingzhe and Gu Dashu learned that Tong Huaqiong was returning today, they kept standing at the intersection looking around.

We waited from dusk till nightfall, and finally it arrived.

"It's alright, it went quite smoothly," Tong Huaqiong said, lifting the carriage curtain.

"This is?"

Gu Jingzhe carried the oil lamp and went closer, and saw that Tong Huaqiong was holding a child in her arms.

He initially thought it was Yaozu, but Yaozu suddenly poked his head out and called out "Uncle," and Gu Jingzhe realized that the child in Tong Huaqiong's arms belonged to someone else.

"We'll talk about it when we get home." Tong Huaqiong handed Xiaolong to Gu Jingzhe.

Xiao Long was very alert. He rolled from Tong Huaqiong's arms to Gu Jingzhe's arms. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and saw an unfamiliar face. He opened his mouth and was about to howl, which scared Gu Jingzhe so much that he handed the person back to Tong Huaqiong.

Tong Huaqiong: "."

"There's still one person in the car. You and your older brother carry him home. Be careful, he's injured," Tong Huaqiong instructed Gu Jingzhe.

Gu Jingzhe and Gu Dahan went to carry the person, only to see that Gu Taohua had already carried the person off the carriage.

"Big brother, third brother, you don't need to lift a finger, you go and move the things."

Gu Taohua carried the person towards her home, and Tong Huaqiong, holding Xiaolong, also stepped into the house.

Tong Huaqiong had Gu Jingzhe help Xiaolong take a bath and change his clothes, then carried him to Yaozu's bed.

As soon as he was put down, Xiaolong bounced up and mumbled groggily, "The bed is too hard."

Tong Huaqiong couldn't help but retort, "Are you the Princess and the Pea?"

They've already fallen so low that they have to live in caves, yet they still maintain such high standards.

The bed has two layers of mattresses, so it's not hard anywhere.

Tong Huaqiong forcefully pressed him back into the bed, but Xiaolong struggled and refused to lie down.

Tong Huaqiong's patience ran out, and she threatened, "This is the kind of environment we have at home. If you don't want to sleep here, believe me, I'll throw you back into the cave."

Xiao Long opened his eyes and said to Tong Huaqiong, "Uncle, I'm sleeping with you."

Tong Huaqiong scooped the person up and said, "Alright, sleep with your cousin."

Xiao Long quickly snuggled into Tong Huaqiong's arms.

Tong Huaqiong carried Xiaolong into the main room and saw Gu Taohua sitting on a chair eating an apple.

Tong Huaqiong asked, "Where is Xiaolong's cousin?" Gu Taohua crunched on her apple and replied, "I threw him into the woodshed."

Tong Huaqiong said, "The woodshed is drafty from all sides, how can we leave someone there?"

Especially in the countryside in autumn, it's already frosty at night, and the wind is so cold that you need to cover yourself with a thick quilt to sleep.

Although Xiaolong's uncle was not seriously injured, in such an era of rudimentary medical care, germs and cold winds could easily cause his wound to become inflamed.

Tong Huaqiong certainly didn't want anyone to die in her yard.

Since we've decided to save them, we'll see it through to the end.

Gu Taohua said matter-of-factly, "It's already good enough that he lives in the woodshed."

Gu Taohua held a grudge against him for cheating her out of her money.

Tong Huaqiong said to Gu Jingzhe who came in, "Let the injured young man stay in your room."

Gu Jingzhe said, "Okay, but living in the woodshed is definitely not an option."

Tong Huaqiong held Xiaolong in her arms, Gu Taohua carried a lantern, and Gu Jingzhe and Gu Dahan worked together to lift Xiaolong's cousin into Gu Jingzhe's bed.

Xiao Long broke free from Tong Huaqiong's embrace and lay down next to his uncle.

"Mother, the young man has lost so much blood, should we call a doctor?" Gu Dahan asked.

Tong Huaqiong said, "There's no need."

She felt that the modern medical supplies in the space were more effective than those from the village doctors.

Even a country doctor would need bandaging and anti-inflammatory treatment.

Tong Huaqiong glanced at her cousin Xiaolong on the bed. Aside from a few muffled groans when Gu Taohua pulled out the arrow in the carriage, he had been fast asleep. Tong Huaqiong couldn't tell if he had fainted or was simply too weak to open his eyes.

The only consolation was that the gauze on my forehead and legs had stopped bleeding, indicating that the bleeding from the wounds had stopped.

Hopefully he won't get a fever tonight.

Su Chengmin felt a chill run through his body.

It felt as if I was immersed in the biting cold of ice and snow.

He knew he was injured and had lost a lot of blood.

He didn't know if he was in the hands of the enemy or somewhere else.

Where's Xiaolong?
Su Chengmin wanted to call out to Xiaolong, but he couldn't make a sound.

He tried to get up, but his hands and feet felt like they were bound.

Suddenly, a pair of hands reached up to his forehead and said, "Why is it so hot?"

It was the unfamiliar voice of a young boy.

"Mother, is his condition what you call inflammation? Will he die?"

The girl's voice sounded so familiar; he seemed to have heard it not long ago.

Has his wound become infected?

Is he going to die?
In the military, wounded soldiers would often develop a high fever before dying from infected wounds.

Is he like that now?

Tong Huaqiong looked at the young man in front of her.

She was woken up by Gu Jingzhe at night, who said that the young man was shivering all over, and she knew that his wound was infected.

Tong Huaqiong brought disinfection tools and medicine to Gu Jingzhe's house, and examined the young man's forehead. Sure enough, he had a frighteningly high fever.

Tong Huaqiong said, "I don't know if he will die. Let's just try anything, even if it seems hopeless."

After disinfecting her hands and removing the gauze from Su Chengmin's forehead, Gu Jingzhe and Gu Taohua followed Tong Huaqiong in disinfecting their hands and removing the gauze from their legs.

"The injury on your forehead is fine," Tong Huaqiong said.

"The wound on my calf is starting to ooze pus," Gu Jingzhe said.

Tong Huaqiong took the alcohol and went over to Gu Jingzhe, saying, "Squeeze out the pus."

Gu Taohua said, "Brother's hands are too weak for writing, I'm afraid he won't squeeze them clean. Let me do it."

While speaking, he frantically squeezed out the pus.

Su Chengmin, who was almost unconscious in his dazed state, regained consciousness after being squeezed, and the pain almost sent him to the underworld.

Although she saved his life, Su Chengmin gritted his teeth and secretly vowed that once he regained consciousness, he would definitely seek revenge on this girl.

Is this healing or murder?
