At this moment, Yan Dechang was still in a semi-comatose state, his body was alternating between hot and cold. Just after speaking a few words to Yan Liqiang, he fell into a coma again.
Seeing his father unconscious, Yan Liqiang lifted the quilt and looked at the wounds on his father's body. The moment he saw the wounds, Yan Liqiang's whole body began to tremble.
Yan Dechang was stabbed twice, one in his left shoulder, the wound was so deep that the bone was visible, and the other in his chest, which was more than a foot long and extended from his chest to his lower abdomen, almost cutting the front of Yan Dechang's body in half.
The bandages wrapped around Yan Dechang's wounds were all stained with blood, and even the mattress under Yan Dechang was mostly stained red with blood.
If Yan Dechang hadn't been so strong, an ordinary person would have died from such an injury.
To be honest, Yan Liqiang at this moment was like a volcano about to erupt and wanted to kill people. However, Yan Liqiang had to calm himself down, because if he didn't calm down, Yan Dechang would really be doomed.
The incident happened yesterday, and Zhou Tiezhu himself was injured. It was not easy for him to do this, to find a doctor in the town and his cousin.
Yan Liqiang walked out of the room with a stern face, and everyone gathered around him. Looking at everyone's eyes, Yan Liqiang felt for the first time the responsibility on his shoulders.
"Brother Hongda, I'm sorry to bother you today..." Yan Liqiang forced a smile towards Zhou Tiezhu's cousin. At this time, Yan Liqiang was grateful to those who could come to his home to help.
Zhou Hongda is Zhou Tiezhu's cousin and also from Liuhe Town. He is a relatively honest person. He and his wife opened a small breakfast restaurant in the town, selling noodles and doing some small business. He used to often come to Yan Liqiang's blacksmith workshop to find Zhou Tiezhu, so he was not a stranger.
"It's his duty, it's his duty. Master Yan is such a good man. He usually doesn't charge folks for repairing farm tools. I didn't expect that someone could be so cruel to Master Yan..." Zhou Hongda said hatefully.
"I'd also like to ask Brother Hongda for a favor!"
"You say it, you say it, you're welcome!"
"There are quite a few people at home these days, so please ask Brother Hongda and sister-in-law to temporarily close the business for a few days and come to the Yan family to help out. Buy some vegetables and cook some meals every day, and take care of the three meals for everyone at home!" Yan Liqiang said, and took out a gold bar and handed it to Zhou Hongda, "This is the food allowance for these days, and it won't cost Brother Hongda any money..."
Zhou Hongda originally came here to help for Zhou Tiezhu's sake, and he himself was also somewhat enthusiastic. When he first heard what Yan Liqiang said, he was a little embarrassed, but in the blink of an eye, touching the heavy gold bar in his hand, his heart was thumping, and the embarrassment disappeared instantly, "Okay, I'll go ask my wife to help..."
"Brother Hongda, try to buy fresher vegetables for the Yan family these days, and be careful with the meat and poultry!" Yan Liqiang reminded.
Zhou Hongda was also a small businessman, so he naturally knew what Yan Liqiang was worried about after what happened to the Yan family. He nodded and said, "I know, Liqiang, don't worry, I won't let anyone tamper with these places again. I will buy the freshest vegetables for the Yan family these days, and I will buy vegetables from acquaintances in the fields, and I will buy live animals and other things!"
Yan Liqiang nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Hongda!"
"No trouble, no trouble..." Taking the money, Zhou Hongda left the Yan family and went to find his wife to help the Yan family.
Yan Liqiang then settled the bill with the doctor in Yan's town, and the doctor left.
Yan Liqiang took out another gold bar and gave it to Zhao Qifeng who came with him. "Brother Zhao, please go to the Jirentang Clinic on East Street in Qinghe County. Doctor Hong at the Jirentang Clinic is the most famous doctor in Qinghe County for treating sword injuries. Please invite Doctor Hong over!"
Zhao Qifeng, who came with Zhou Yong, nodded to Yan Liqiang, took the gold bar, turned around, rode the rhinoceros horse again, left the Yan family, and flew towards Qinghe County.
Yan Liqiang took out another gold bar and gave it to Zhou Yong and Liu Gang. "Brother Zhou, Brother Liu, go to the Guojia liquor store in town and buy 50 kilograms of alcohol. Then go to the Qingyun cloth shop in town and buy 50 kilograms of white gauze..."
Zhou Yong and Liu Gang took the gold bars, nodded without saying a word, and left.
Yan Liqiang talked to Wu Ma again and asked her to go to the kitchen to boil two pots of hot water.
In Yan Liqiang's memory, the development of medicine in this world is somewhat similar to that in ancient China, but also somewhat different. The similarity is that both follow the path of traditional Chinese medicine, while the difference is that the medicine in this world has also made a lot of progress in some aspects, such as surgery and the refining of some strange elixirs.
The doctor in the town invited by Zhou Tiezhu had sutured Yan Dechang's wound with catgut and disinfected the wound with alcohol. This was something that many ancient Chinese traditional Chinese medicine practitioners could not do. It was said that Hua Tuo had this skill, but unfortunately it was not passed down.
Yan Liqiang was actually a little confused at this time. He didn't know what he could do. All he could think of was the story of Florence Nightingale, the goddess of the lantern. He couldn't help with the treatment. He was not a doctor in his previous life and he didn't read many medical books. Not many of the memories in his mind could be useful at this time, but he knew that a good doctor and careful care could definitely give Yan Dechang more hope to persevere.
In the blink of an eye, almost everyone was busy.
Yan Liqiang stayed in the room, looking at Yan Dechang with his eyes closed on the bed, lowered his head, buried his face in his hands in pain, his heart full of self-blame. He did not expect that while he was living safely in the Artisan Camp, Yan Dechang who stayed in Liuhe Town would encounter such a disaster. Although there is no evidence yet to show that the man was sent by the Yan family, Yan Liqiang had a feeling that the person who chopped Yan Dechang was most likely the person who was hiding in the dark and spying on him outside the door of the Artisan Camp that day.
During the past month, I have been in the Artisan Camp, leaving that person no chance to attack. That's why he returned to Liuhe Town and caused this incident. His purpose was to force me back. Only if I come back and leave the Artisan Camp, would that person have the chance to attack me.
This was a vicious plot. If he didn't come back and didn't care about Yan Dechang's life or death, then some people would put the blame on him for being "unfilial", and he would be really finished. In the Han Empire, being unfilial to parents was a very serious, despicable and disgusting crime. Once someone was considered to be "unfilial", he would almost become a public enemy and a despised existence. He would be directly rejected from the national martial arts examination, and even if he became a warrior in the future, it would be difficult for him to become an official.
