Chapter 82 082. Ointment
"Thank you for your hard work today," Gu Baijiang was held by the man in black at the time, so of course he saw it all, but his voice was extremely cold.

He was blaming himself in his heart, wondering if Gu Kaiyuan had been by his side at that time, would he not have fallen into the hands of the man in black?
If he had not fallen into the hands of the man in black, he would not have been injured.

"Father, I'm already very satisfied that you acknowledge my filial piety towards you." Gu Kaiyuan replied humbly, "If I run into these people again, I will definitely avenge you."

Gu Kaiping found the escort here. He knew that it was impossible to find a doctor at this time, but if it came to medicinal herbs, they would definitely have them.

"Sir, could you lend us some medicine for our injuries first?"

"Don't you have any medicine?" Liu Pingkang was a little puzzled. If he remembered correctly, the Gu family had bought medicine for the wounds.

"Those medicines were all used to apply on the feet," Gu Kaiping used them himself, and of course he knew that there was very little left.

"Even if you apply it on your feet, you can also apply it on your face." Liu Pingkang didn't want to give the medicine away. They would have to sleep outdoors for several days on the next journey, and they were afraid of getting injured. He would not feel at ease if he didn't have the medicine by then.

"My father was injured on his face. I wonder if there is a doctor here?" Thinking of Gu Baijiang's explanation, Gu Kaiping asked again.

If you can't buy medicine, it's good to be able to find a doctor. At least you won't seem useless.

"Doctor? Are you kidding me?" Liu Pingkang looked at the two Gu brothers, "You are in exile, which exile team would bring a doctor?

But you could ask other people. Those who were confiscated and exiled here all have good family backgrounds. Do you think they have any knowledge of the art of medicine?"

Ma Zhi gave them some advice. What if they were lucky enough to meet someone among these more than a hundred people?

"Brother, there is no medicine and no doctor. What should we do?"

Gu Kaiping, "How should I know what to do? How about I ask Dad?"

The two brothers didn't dare to make a scene here, so they could only leave in disappointment.

"Boss, do you think the Gu family will be in turmoil in the future?"

"No matter how uneasy the situation is, I will have someone report it. I want my brothers to be alert during this period. For the sake of our lives, it's always better to be careful." Liu Pingkang didn't expect to be so unlucky this time and encounter a difficult situation.

In the past, some brothers never returned during the escort process, and there is still no result.

Who knows how much these officials have embezzled or how many people they have offended, and whether they will be robbed and killed along the way.

Seeing Gu Kaiping and Gu Kaichen coming back empty-handed, Gu Baijiang placed all his hopes on Gu Kaiyuan.

"Kaiyuan, does the Bai family have any medicine prepared for injuries? Bring it over so I can use it.

Also, the servants of the Bai family are all free, so have them quickly go and get a doctor for me."

Gu Kaiyuan said, "Father, I know about medicine. Dongmei and the others took out a box of medicine for injuries, but we used it all."

"What? You used the whole box of medicine?"

"Sui He's feet are already rubbed raw. The two girls felt sorry for her and applied the medicine all over them. The effect is really good. Some scabs have formed today." Gu Kaiyuan was very satisfied with the effect of the medicine. "It's just a little too extravagant."

Gu Baijiang almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Even if the Bai family had more money, they couldn't waste it like this. "Then go get a doctor."

Gu Kaiyuan said, "I'm afraid this won't work..."

"You unfilial son, you didn't even ask, how come you said it's not possible?"

"Dongmei and the other four had never been out of the house before and couldn't tell the difference between north and south. That's why they followed the team. If they hadn't run into us, they would have followed the escort.

It’s pitch black here, where do you want them to find a doctor?

Furthermore, with our current status, how can we give orders?"

"Third brother," Liu Yun was a little unhappy when she saw Gu Kaiyuan repeatedly shirking responsibility. If Gu Kaiyuan didn't care, the family would have to rely on her for food and clothing in the future. "Father is already injured. Even ordinary people would help him if they saw him, not to mention that we are their former masters..."

"Sister-in-law, you are wrong again. They have always been members of the Bai family. We are not their former masters!

You forgot, when Sui He came to the mansion, he brought with him several concubines and so many maids and servants. You said that our family didn't have such an example, and the public servants would not bear the monthly allowance, so their monthly salary, our family didn't give them a single copper coin."

Liu Yun's face turned blue and red. Who was she doing that for? It was to save some money for the family.

Besides, when she married in, she only brought two older maids with her, but Bai Suihe had a whole yard full of them.

Xu Yulan wanted to speak, but when she heard about this matter, she didn't dare to say anything. It was she who brought up this matter at that time.

She only brought a maid with her as a dowry, not as grand as Bai's.

"Third brother, are you bringing up the past?" Gu Kaiping stood beside Liu Yun. "We shouldn't be discussing the injury on Father's face right now."

Gu Kaiyuan nodded. "Brother, what you said makes sense. I'll go back and ask how much of the medicine is left. I hope father won't mind it."

"Husband, you don't have to go back. I'll bring it here." Bai Suihe, supported by Dongmei and Chunxiang, carefully avoided the broken stones and held the ointment box in her hand.

She looked at Gu Baijiang and the others shyly. "I hadn't expected this to happen before, so there's only a thin layer left at the bottom of the bottle. When we get to the next station, I'll definitely buy a new box for Mom and Dad."

Gu Kaiyuan took the box. He was of course familiar with this box. There was indeed only a thin layer left. He tried to scrape it to see if there was a layer the size of a fingertip.

When it was opened in front of everyone, the Gu family's faces turned dark. It would be better not to take it, and they had to owe Bai Suihe a favor.

"No need, let's think of another way," Gu Baijiang felt a little disgusted. This is used to apply on the soles of the feet, how could it be suitable for him to use on his face?
"Father, Mother, is everything alright?" Bai Suihe frowned slightly when he saw these people sitting there without even cleaning up. "It won't be long before dawn, and we'll have to travel again soon. We should pack these things up first. It wouldn't be nice if we left anything behind."

All of these were purchased with silver. Besides, does the Gu family have silver now?
Yes, there are, but not many.

Xu Huizhen also saw that all their bags had fallen to the ground. She didn't know who had stepped on her water bottle and burst it. "Liu, Yulan, hurry up and clean up here.

Are you all just sitting there doing nothing, waiting for me, an old woman, to do it?"

She had injured her arm when she was in the cell before, and the pulling just now seemed to have reopened the wound. No, she still needed to apply some medicine.
