It was raining heavily, and the muddy roads in the countryside were very muddy and difficult to walk.

Su Qin wore a straw raincoat, shook the rain on her face, and kept whipping the horse with a whip, "Go, go!"

The horse pulled the car and walked forward with difficulty. It took half an hour before he arrived at the city gate. On weekdays, it was not necessary to travel from Xiaohe Village to the county for a quarter of an hour.

Su Qin lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at it. She saw that the master and servant in the carriage were already venting more air and inlet less air.

Mrs. Xia, who came with her, looked at the closed city gate and was anxious, "Madam, what should I do?"

Su Qin asked her to watch out for the people in the car, jumped out of the carriage neatly, walked to the city gate, picked up a stone and held it in her hand, and knocked hard at the city gate.

The city gate was thick and dull sounds were found when the stones knocked on it.

After knocking for nearly ten minutes, a small window was opened on the city gate, and a defender said impatiently: "Who is it? It's the big night, are you looking for death?"

Su Qin hurried forward and said, "Brother, please open the city gate. Xu Yuan, the owner of Fenglailou, was seriously injured and his life was hanging on the line. He needs treatment immediately. Please help me."

The official sleeping in a daze, and the sound of rain was loud, so he didn't listen carefully to what Su Qin was saying. He just said impatiently: "Go and go, there is no token, and you are not allowed to enter the city at night. Violators will be killed without any punishment!"

As he said that, he wanted to close the small window.

Seeing this, Su Qin quickly flipped her wrist, took out a ingot of silver from the space, and stuffed it into the small window.

"Brother, please make sure you can make peace. Life is a matter of stake in the matter."

The official officer immediately woke up as soon as he saw the silver ingot.

But he still didn't dare to open the city gate, "You don't want to fool me with money. Who knows what you guys do? Or the same thing, either come with a token or wait for dawn."

Su Qin had to change his method, "Brother, please help me to go to Fenglailou and ask Manager Xu to come to the city gate? When I invite someone, I will pay you double the reward."

This is five taels of silver. The salary for the defending soldiers in the city is only two taels per month. If they call the person, they will double it. That is ten taels, fifteen taels of silver will be worth his income for half a year.

The official's voice came from the darkness: "Then it, you are waiting here."

Su Qin hurriedly told me: "Brother, please be sure to be as soon as possible. Life is at stake, so you must be quick."

The official officer really took it seriously. He explained to his colleagues, and quickly rode a mule and horse all the way to Fenglai Tower.

Manager Xu lives in the yard behind Fenglai Building. When the guy came to knock on the door, he slept soundly.

"Shopkeeper Xu, a woman at the city gate said, "Your boss is seriously injured and is outside the city gate. Come over here quickly."

Manager Xu was so scared that he was about to fall out. He didn't even bother to take the umbrella and plunged into the rain.

When he arrived at the city gate, Manager Xu shouted to the small window, "Head of the family, head of the family!"

Su Qin hurried over: "Shopkeeper Xu, it's me, Su Qinniang, your boss encountered difficulties in the mountains and was seriously injured. Now we can't enter the city gate, so you can quickly find a way to let these officials open the door and delay it, just because your boss is worried about his life."

Manager Xu was so scared that he was so scared that his family had problems in Qifu County, so he could not live.

After all, the head of the family will come, which has something to do with him. Moreover, the head of the family has never come back after taking people out today, and he has not taken it to heart. After all, those people are all trainees. With them here, the safety of the head of the family is not a problem, so he was careless.

"Madam Su, please take good care of our boss. I will go to the county government now and come back soon."

Qifu County is not big. Manager Xu borrowed the mules and horses of the yamen runners and rushed to the county government. Without much effort, he got the token and rushed back.

When the defenders saw the token, they naturally opened the city gate without saying a word.

Su Qin also kept her word and immediately paid ten taels of silver to the soldier who was calling for someone.

Manager Xu led the way, and Su Qin drove the carriage and sent Xu Yuan to the largest clinic in the county, "Renxintang".

Although Renxintang is a bit dark, the conditions in their clinic are really good, and there is also an old doctor with superb medical skills.

Manager Xu was very familiar with the shopkeeper of Renxintang. He heard that a very important injured person had been sent, so the shopkeeper quickly called the old doctor to treat Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan was seriously injured, and his guard was even worse.

Not long after the delivery, the guard couldn't hold on and swallow.

Seeing this, Manager Xu almost cried and wanted to kneel down and beg God to open his eyes to save his head.

Renxintang is worthy of being the largest clinic in Qifu County. He knew that the injured person was the head of the Xu family, and the shopkeeper was not vague. He directly took out a two-hundred-year-old ginseng plant for Xu Yuan to use.

The old doctor also put in a lot of effort and spent a night to pull back Xu Yuan, who had already entered the gate of hell.

When it was dawn, the old doctor said with some qi deficiency: "Okay, my life will be saved for the time being."

Manager Xu's legs became weak and he sat on the ground with a thump.

The old doctor said, "Don't be too happy too early. The head of the Xu family was too serious and the wounds were very dirty. Just cleaning was a troublesome. Such a serious injury should be prevented from purging and ulceration. These are all fatal things. Lao Qiao was a little sloppy and asked the shopkeeper Xu to send the head of the Xu family to the city for treatment."

Even if he didn't say it, Manager Xu would still send the person to the mansion.

The conditions in Qifu County are too poor, and the life of their head is too precious, so he delayed treatment here, I am afraid that his wife will twist his head with her own hands.

Manager Xu hurriedly made arrangements, but he didn't care about Master Su Qin's servant.

Su Qin didn't care. Seeing that it was already dawn and the rain stopped, she led Mrs. Xia to drive out of the carriage and back to Xiaohecheng.

After arriving at home, I saw Qin Fangrong waiting in the house.

"Madam, please change the clothes on your body. I have made ginger soup and drank it for a while and covered the quilt and sweated. This can prevent typhoid fever. So is Mama Xia, so go and change the clothes quickly."

Although I wore a straw raincoat last night, it rained too much and the straw raincoat was not very useful. Su Qin and Mrs. Xia's clothes were almost wet.

Fortunately, it is midsummer now, and the temperature is not cold. Apart from the uncomfortable feeling wrapped in wet clothes, there are no symptoms of headaches and fever.

After changing clothes, taking a shower, and drinking ginger soup, Su Qin lay comfortably on the bed to dry her hair.

Zhou Zhou and Yueyue were a little curious about what happened last night and surrounded Su Qin and asked a lot of questions.

Su Qin didn't hide it from them, and told the person's identity again, and then explained: "Don't mention the incident last night to anyone. Also, if anyone asks you where the wine of Forget-Wait comes from in the future, you all say that it was moved out of the mountains by my mother, have you remember?"
