Carrying a Lucky Charm, I Thrive with My Husband on the Road to Exile Chapter 82: Ointment
"Thank you for your hard work today," Gu Baijiang said, caught by the n in black at the ti. Of course, he saw everything, but his voice was extrely cold.
In his heart, he blad the situation. If Gu Kaiyuan were by his side at that mont, wouldn’t he have ended up in the hands of the n in black?
If he hadn’t fallen into the hands of the n in black, he wouldn’t have suffered this injury.
"Father, if you can acknowledge my filial piety towards you, I am already very satisfied," Gu Kaiyuan replied humbly. "If we encounter these people again in the future, I will definitely avenge you."
anwhile, Gu Kaiping approached the escort, knowing full well that finding a doctor was impossible at this mont, but if it were about dicine, there was certainly a chance.
"Sir, I wonder if you could lend us so wound dicine?"
"Didn’t you prepare any dicine?" Liu Pingkang was a bit puzzled. If he rembered correctly, the Gu Family had indeed purchased wound dicine.
"All that dicine was used for applying on feet," Gu Kaiping used it himself too, naturally knowing that they were nearly out of it.
"Even if it was for the feet, it can be applied on the face," Liu Pingkang was reluctant to hand out the dicine. The journey ahead ant camping out for several days, and they feared injuries themselves. If they were left without dicine, he would also feel uneasy.
"My father’s face is injured; is there a doctor available here?" Thinking of Gu Baijiang’s instructions, Gu Kaiping asked again.
Unable to buy dicine, finding a doctor would still be better, at least it wouldn’t make them look entirely useless.
"A doctor? Are you kidding ?" Liu Pingkang looked at the Gu Family brothers, "You are in exile, what exile procession would have a doctor?
However, you can ask around; among these hundred or so people who were exiled, so have decent family backgrounds. See if any of them are skilled in dicine?"
Ma Zhi offered advice beside them; among over a hundred people, perhaps they might be lucky to find soone.
"Brother, there is neither dicine nor a doctor, what should we do?"
Gu Kaiping said, "How would I know what to do? Maybe I should ask Father?"
The two brothers dared not cause a scene here, reluctantly they left.
"Chief, do you think the Gu Family will encounter troubles in the future?"
"Regardless of whether they do or don’t, I will report this. During this ti, let the brothers stay extra vigilant. For the sake of our lives, being cautious never hurts." Liu Pingkang didn’t expect such bad luck this ti, encountering sothing so troubleso.
Previously, so brothers had vanished during escort procedures, leaving no results even now.
Who knows how much these officials have embezzled or how many people they have offended, leading to ambush attacks along the way.
Seeing Gu Kaiping and Gu Kaichen return empty-handed, Gu Baijiang directly placed all hope on Gu Kaiyuan.
"Kaiyuan, did the Bai family prepare any wound dicine? Bring it over for to use.
Also, the servants from Ms. Bai are free people; let them quickly fetch a doctor for ."
Gu Kaiyuan said, "Father, about dicine, I know. Dongi and the others took out a box of wound dicine before, but we’ve already used it."
"What? You used the whole box of dicine?"
"Suihe’s both feet were worn sore, and the two young maids felt sorry for her and applied all of it. But the dicine’s effect is really good; it’s already scabbing today." Gu Kaiyuan was pleased with the dicine’s efficacy, "Although it is a bit extravagant."
Gu Baijiang nearly spat out blood; even if the Bai Family had silver, it couldn’t be wasted like this.
"Then go fetch a doctor."
Gu Kaiyuan said, "I’m afraid that won’t do..."
"You unfilial child, how can you say it won’t do without even asking?"
"Dongi and her three companions have never been outside, nor can they distinguish north from south, which is why they’re following the group. If we hadn’t t them, they would follow the escort blindly.
In the darkness, where would you have them find a doctor?
Moreover, given our current status, we can’t command them."
"Third brother," Liu Yun was also displeased seeing Gu Kaiyuan continually evade responsibility. If Gu Kaiyuan didn’t step up, wouldn’t it all fall to her for the family’s sustenance, "Father is injured; even ordinary people would lend a hand, let alone when we are their forr masters..."
"Sister-in-law, you’re mistaken. They’ve always belonged to the Bai Family, and we aren’t their forr masters!
Rember, when Suihe entered the household, she brought several families along, including many maids. You said we had no such example; thus, the public wouldn’t cover this monthly expense, so regarding their monthly silver, our house has never paid a single copper coin."
Liu Yun’s face went pale and flushed alternately. She was doing it for whom but to save a little for the house.
Besides, when she married in, she only brought two maids, while Bai Suihe brought an entire courtyard.
Xu Yulan wanted to speak but dared not, hearing it was this particular issue, brought up originally by her.
She brought only one dowry maid, unlike Ms. Bai’s grand entrance.
"Third brother, are you settling old scores?" Gu Kaiping stood beside Liu Yun, "Now what we should be discussing is not the wound on Father’s face."
Gu Kaiyuan nodded in agreent, "Brother is right, I’ll go back now and see how much dicine is left; I hope Father won’t mind."
"Husband, no need for you to go back, I’ll bring it." Bai Suihe cautiously avoided the gravel with Dongi and Chunxiang’s support, holding the dicine box.
She shyly looked at them, "I didn’t foresee this situation before, so only a thin layer remains at the bottom of the bottle. When we reach the next post station, I’ll definitely buy a new box for Father and Mother."
Gu Kaiyuan took the box. He was familiar with it, with only a thin layer left, trying to scrape to get even a fingernail’s worth.
Opening it in front of everyone, the Gu Family’s faces darkened; it was better not to have taken it than to owe Bai Suihe a favor.
"Forget it, we’ll figure out another way," Gu Baijiang felt uncomfortable thinking about applying foot ointnt onto his face.
"Father, Mother, is everything okay?" Bai Suihe noticed everyone sitting without tidying up and frowned slightly, "Daybreak is near, and we’ll soon resu the journey; it’s best to tidy up these things. If anything gets left behind, it won’t be any good."
All these things were purchased with silver, and besides, does the Gu family have any silver now?
They do, but not much indeed.
Xu Huizhen saw all their luggage scattered on the ground, her water bag seemingly trampled by soone, "Liu Family, Yu Lan, hurry up and tidy here.
Everyone is just sitting there; do you expect an old lady like to tidy up?"
Previously in the prison, her arm got injured, and the recent struggle seed to have reopened the wound; she needed so dicine.
