Chapter 27 Li Xin's Injury
While Li Chun was kneeling in the cold wind in the winter night, Li Xin on the other side also woke up from his sleep.
In fact, he didn't faint.
The moment he smashed himself was very particular. Hitting his forehead straight may make himself a fool, or even endanger his life. However, as long as he hits his face and uses some strength, it will usually cut through the skin and bleed a little more, which can only be considered a skin trauma.
In order to shed blood, he deliberately used the sharp part of the chair to make a long cut on his forehead, which made the blood flow. So when the inner guard Sun Jing came into the palace to reply, he said, "I don't know life and death."
In fact, all animals, including humans, need great courage to hurt themselves. If Li Chun had not completely angered Li Xin, he would not have smashed his forehead.
He had no choice but to use this extreme way to retaliate against the Pingnan Marquis Mansion. Apart from this, with Li Xin's current capital, there was no way to hurt the young marquis of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion.
After being carried out by the inner guard Zhou Cheng from Ningcui Tower, Li Xin was carried into a clinic. The doctor briefly checked Li Xin's injuries, shook his head and sighed, helped Li Xin clean the wound, sprinkled some golden sore medicine, bandaged it briefly, and prescribed some medicines to replenish qi and blood.
There are no instruments from later generations in this era, so it is generally difficult to distinguish the degree of injury. For example, Li Xin, who is covered in blood and looks quite terrifying. When the doctor sees it, he will naturally not say that he is very mildly injured.
Moreover, in this era, there is no stitching technique in later generations. No matter how serious the injury is, you can only recover slowly by relying on your own healing ability. Therefore, the doctor's treatment methods are generally similar.
Later, when Sun Jing led the imperial physician to treat Li Xin's injuries, the method was similar.
If you have to say there is any difference, it is that the medicine applied to the wound may be different.
The imperial physician and the doctor from the clinic surrounded Li Xin for a long time. Because he was a little sleepy, he simply closed his eyes and slept for a while. When it was dark, he "wake up slowly". He opened his eyes and secretly looked at Zhou Cheng who was guarding the side, and coughed gently.
Zhou Cheng and Sun Jing, who were guarding next to him, were delighted when they heard the movement, and hurried to Li Xin and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Young Master Li, you have finally woken up."
The two of them were ordered to protect Li Xin. If Li Xin had any faults, they would be punished if they returned to the Inner Guard. Now Li Xin woke up, which means that there would be no major matter. Even if he and Sun Jing were responsible, they would not be punished too severely.
Li Xin looked around pretending to behave and said, "Two... brothers, where is this?"
Zhou Cheng said, "This is Zheng's clinic on Nanshi Street. Mr. Li is fighting with others during the day and accidentally gets hurt. I took Mr. Li to come here to treat the wound."
Although Li Xin was pretending to be unconscious, the wound on his forehead was serious. When he moved, the pain would spread faintly. Li Xin frowned, forced himself to sit up, and nodded to Zhou Cheng: "Thank you, this big brother."
Zhou Cheng shook his head repeatedly: "Mr. Li, we were originally ordered by His Majesty to secretly protect the young master. It was because of my poor protection and the young master who was injured like this. Master, don't blame me for it..."
Li Xin pretended to be surprised, asked about this matter before and after, then he looked clear and bowed to the two inner guards and said, "Two brothers, I have been out for a day. There is a young girl and an elder in the family. Can you bother the two brothers and send me back to Datongfang?"
The two men glanced at Li Xin's forehead, and Sun Jing, who spoke more, spoke softly and said, "Mr. Li, the imperial doctor saw your injury in the afternoon. He said that although you are not seriously injured, it is best not to walk around. Just rest here with peace of mind. As for Datongfang, we brothers will just inform you."
Li Xin shook his head slightly: "Two brothers, the young and old at home come to Beijing. I am not at home, and there is not even a person to make food for them. I also ask the two brothers to help me. I'm not going to get this injury."
He knew his own wounds. The injuries on his head were considered serious skin injuries. At most, he lost more blood. He would recover after four or five days of rest.
Zhou Cheng and Sun Jing looked at each other, then nodded slightly, and said, "That's true, let's go and call the young master a sedan chair."
Li Xin nodded with difficulty.
"I'll both of you."
After half an hour, a sedan chair set out from the Zheng Clinic and walked towards Datongfang. At this time, there was a curfew in the capital and no movement was allowed on the streets, but both brothers were from the inner guards. If you show the inner guards’ sign, you can naturally be unobstructed in the capital.
After walking for about an hour, the sedan chair stopped at the door of the yard where Li Xin rented it. The two brothers who followed Li Xin's arms were erected and lifted Li Xin off the sedan chair.
The yard door is still locked.
Li Xin found a key from his arms and asked Zhou Cheng to help open the yard gate.
It was already midnight at this time. The charcoal girl had already gone to bed at this time, but Li Xin did not come back. The girl was waiting in the room. After hearing something was moving at the door of the yard, the girl immediately ran out in cotton shoes.
Then she saw Li Xin with white cloth wrapped around her head.
The little girl burst into tears. She didn't even see the two big men next to Li Xin, and went forward to pull Li Xin's sleeves.
"Brother...what's wrong with you?"
Li Xin reached out and touched her hair, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I fell down on the street. Fortunately, these two elder brothers sent me back and poured me a cup of tea for the two elder brothers."
The little girl wiped her tears and nodded and was about to go to the house to pour tea. Zhou Cheng and Sun Jing both shook their heads repeatedly and said, "Young Master, it's late at night, so we brothers won't disturb you. You are well in recovery at home. After this matter... it's not too late to go out again."
As he said that, Zhou Cheng squatted down and handed two packs of medicine to the little girl.
"Miss, this is the medicine for treating injuries. Take the left side and the right side externally. You can take it first."
The charcoal seller nodded in a vague way, took two packs of medicine and hugged it in his arms.
After giving the medicine, Zhou Cheng stood up and bent down slightly at Li Xin: "Mr. Li, today we are not protecting us. If you are tired, you will be injured. I will compensate you here for me."
Li Xin shook his head slowly and smiled: "If it weren't for the two elder brothers today, I wouldn't know if I could come back alive. I'm better off waiting for my lower body, so I'll invite the two elder brothers to have a meal."
Zhou Cheng and Sun Jing both shook their heads and left Li Xin's yard shoulder to shoulder.
After the two of them walked away, Li Xin no longer looked weak just now. He squatted beside the charcoal girl, reached out to rub her hair, squinted her eyes and said, "Have you eaten today?"
On weekdays, Li Xin cooks for his grandparents and grandchildren, but he hasn't come back for a day today. I wonder if these two people have eaten.
The little girl did not answer Li Xin's question. She glanced at the wound on Li Xin's head and asked carefully.
"Brother, has anyone beat you..."
Li Xin smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's all over."
"I guess you didn't eat anything, so my brother will get you something to eat."
Li Xin stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
