Chapter 766 I will definitely pay back the money!
Huo Lin knew that Lu Yangyang grew up in Qingzhou, but he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that she was in Qingyuan Mountain. No wonder she was so concerned about the affairs of Qinghe Village. At first, he thought it was Sheng Junyao's arrangement.
Although he hadn't returned to the capital in recent years, he still had some old friends and had heard some things about the capital, including some rumors about Lu Yangyang.
I was initially surprised when I told her I was a doctor, but considering that she was someone who could even cure a plague like smallpox, and thinking about what happened today, it wasn't so surprising after all.
Huo Lin's gaze fell on the map again, and he pointed to several roads near Qingyuan Mountain: "We can go from this location. It's close to the dock, and there have been bandits causing trouble recently. I can lead people there under the pretext of clearing out the bandits. This is in a different direction from the one leading to Qingyuan Town, so even if someone discovers our actions, they won't suspect anything. Then we can sneak into the mountains. But if we need to go around Qingyuan Mountain, we'll have to rely on you."
The direction Huo Lin pointed to was on the other side of Qingyuan Mountain. In a straight line, it wasn't far from Qinghe Village, but there was a mountain road in between, and it was in a completely different direction from Qinghe Village. If they went through Qingyuan Mountain from there to Qinghe Village, they would definitely not alert the enemy.
Lu Yangyang felt admiration.
It must be said that Huo Lin's plan was excellent; the only problem was how to get through this mountain road.
But this was precisely what didn't stump her.
The fact that Huo Lin could come up with such a concise plan in such a short time shows that he is very capable. It would be a waste of his talents to manage the security in the small Qingzhou Prefecture.
But that’s a story for another day.
Lu Yangyang agreed with Huo Lin's suggestion and nodded at him: "Brother-in-law's idea is very good, I have no objection. But I should apologize to brother-in-law first. This matter may be a trap, or it may be a false alarm, making brother-in-law come for nothing. If it is a trap, I will definitely not let brother-in-law take any risks for it. If it is a wasted trip, please don't blame me."
"Whether it's true or not, I'm responsible for the safety of Qingzhou Prefecture, and I have no choice but to take charge of this matter. So let's skip the formalities and get to work without delay," Huo Lin said.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, brother-in-law," Lu Yangyang bowed to Huo Linxing, "I'll go change my clothes and get ready before meeting up with you."
Lu Yangyang came directly from Sheng Yunruo's room, still covered in blood.
"Thank you for Yunruo's matter. You not only saved Yunruo, but also our whole family." Huo Lin sighed softly. "I will tell you the details after things are resolved. In short, thank you very much. Not only for the Qinghe Village matter, but also for anything you need in the future, I will do my best to help you."
Sheng Yunruo's condition was clearly due to excessive fright. She was the mistress of this mansion, yet she suffered such a great fright in her own home that she went into premature labor and even had convulsions. It was clear that there must be more to the story.
However, this was not the time to delve into that, so Lu Yangyang accepted the gratitude and said with a cupped hand, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Huo Lin instructed someone to take Lu Yangyang to change her clothes, and then he went out.
Lu Yangyang estimated the time and planned to go check on Sheng Yunruo's situation again, but she saw a four or five-year-old boy outside the door. He looked six or seven parts like Huo Lin, with tear stains on his face. He stood stubbornly in the corridor under the bright sun, staring longingly inside.
His wet nurse, looking anxious, whispered words of advice to him, but he remained unmoved.
Lu Yangyang walked over, and the little boy noticed the movement and looked over, pausing slightly. "Who are you?"
Having guessed the boy's identity, Lu Yangyang replied, "I'm your aunt. And you? What's your name?"
"Aunt?" The little boy seemed confused and surprised by her identity. He looked at her curiously, pondered for a moment with a serious face, and asked uncertainly, "Really?"
Lu Yangyang nodded: "Of course it's true! If you don't believe me, you can ask Aunt Yu later."
"Then I'll believe you!" The little boy nodded thoughtfully, then looked at her cautiously: "My name is Huo Yuhao, Auntie, is my mother really alright?"
"Yes, your mother is fine now. She just gave birth to your little sister and needs to rest. You can't go in to see her yet. You have to wait a couple of days until she's feeling better," Lu Yangyang replied patiently.
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again. His small face was tense as he lowered his head slightly: "It was I who hurt Mother."
"Hao-ge'er, it's not your fault, don't think like that!" The wet nurse saw him talking to Lu Yangyang without interrupting, but when she heard him say this, she quickly came out to persuade him, and hurriedly explained to Lu Yangyang: "Miss, Hao-ge'er is young, he didn't mean it. Please persuade him. He knew that Madam was in danger, but he insisted on coming here and standing here. Just now, the adults told him to go back, but he refused."
Lu Yangyang never expected that Sheng Yunruo's fright was related to this little one. She squatted down and asked Huo Yuhao, "Why do you think Mother's injury is because of you?"
Hearing her words, Huo Yuhao lowered his head in guilt and whispered, "I didn't know Mother was afraid of cats. The kitten was injured, its leg was broken, it was so pitiful. I just wanted to save it, but, but..."
Huo Yuhao's body trembled slightly, clearly frightened by something he had just thought of.
Seeing this, the wet nurse quickly hugged him tenderly and comforted him, "Hao-ge'er, don't think such things..."
Lu Yangyang roughly understood what was going on. She figured that Sheng Yunruo was frightened because of the injured kitten.
Lu Yangyang thought for a moment and asked him, "Where is the kitten?"
Huo Yuhao bit his lip, his voice becoming even more muffled: "I scared Mother, everyone was terrified. I took it outside, but it might die. It's all my fault..."
"Then take me to see it?" Lu Yangyang rubbed his head.
Huo Yuhao stared at her with wide eyes.
“I can bring your mother back to life, and I can bring it back to life too. Let’s go!” Lu Yangyang winked at him.
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up again.
He led Lu Yangyang to the side door. There was a big tree outside the side door, and he put the kitten under the tree. Because it was injured, the kitten could not run far and was still under the tree. It was a pure white kitten, and it looked to be only a few months old. One of its legs was covered in blood, and its eyes were drooping. It was on the verge of death.
Lu Yangyang walked over, picked up the kitten, and said to Huo Yuhao, "Lend me some of your clothes."
Huo Yuhao quickly went to take off his clothes.
Lu Yangyang smiled and reached out to tear a piece from his jacket, placed it on the ground, and put the kitten on it.
Then I took out some disinfectant from the first-aid kit to disinfect the kitten, shaved off the cat's leg, felt the bone, and quickly applied medicine to treat and bandage the wound.
Lu Yangyang took out a small box of medicine and a piece of silver and handed it to him: "We can't keep him at home for the time being, but we can hire someone to take care of him for a few days. Consider this silver a loan to you. You can pay me back when you make money in the future."
Huo Yuhao stared blankly at the ointment and silver that Lu Yangyang handed him, and excitedly shouted, "Thank you, Auntie! I will definitely pay you back!"
