294 Must Kill Him
Gu Qingxue immediately put down the ancient book in her hand and rushed forward to check on Nine’s injuries.
She did not know what kind of ordeal Nine had gone through. She only saw that his entire body was covered in abrasions, and he was on the verge of death. The wounds on his body were still oozing blood. Especially his eyes. The skin around his eyes had already been burned by the medicine. It looked bright red, and it was very frightening.
“Lady Gu, right? We are from the neighboring village. We bumped into this seriously injured Young Master on the way. He said that he was your friend. We originally wanted to bring him to see the doctor, but he insisted on coming back to look for you.” A middle-aged man from the neighboring village looked at Gu Qingxue, as he spoke, he also lowered his head to look at Nine.
Nine’s injuries were very serious. On the way, they hurriedly tied his wounds with clothes to stop the bleeding, but the effect was minimal.
“Thank you for your help. Miao Yin, come and help me.” After calling out Miao Yin from the south wing room, Gu Qingxue worked together with her and the villagers to send the seriously injured Nine into the hall.
Nine had lost too much blood and had long become unconscious.
When the villagers saw Gu Qingxue coming forward, none of them dared to get in the way. They all stood far away, silently watching Gu Qingxue help Nine treat his wound.
First, she cut open Nine’s clothes with scissors to clean the wound and stop the bleeding. During this period, Gu Qingxue did not forget to give Nine the red ginseng so he could hang on to his life. She helped him treat his wound as quickly as possible.
However, Nine’s eye was seriously injured. She could vaguely see that his eye had been poisoned, but she did not dare to act rashly.
“When you saw him, was he alone?” Gu Qingxue could not ignore the condition of Nine’s eye. She turned her head to look at the villagers, trying to get more information.
The middle-aged man nodded and said, “Yes, but he was still holding a medicine bottle in his hand.”
As he spoke, the middle-aged man had already handed the medicine bottle to Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue reached out her hand and poured out a pill to take a look. She then observed Nine’s condition before she finally relaxed.
Although she still did not know what kind of poison Nine had been poisoned by, looking at Nine’s condition, he had already taken the antidote to the poison. It was unlikely that there would be any fundamental damage.
However, his injury this time was even more serious than the last time. His eyes would not recover to normal without ten days to half a month of rest.
Seeing the worried look on Gu Qingxue’s face, the villagers could not help but be curious. They asked carefully, “Lady Gu, is this Young Master alright?”
Gu Qingxue’s lips curled into a faint smile as she said gently, “It’s all thanks to everyone’s help. His life is no longer in danger. I’ll take care of him from now on. Thank you for your worries.”
“That’s good. We’ll go back first then.” The villagers all let out a sigh of relief.
Before the villagers left, Gu Qingxue had specially divided a portion of the food in the house for them to take away as a way of thanking them for saving their lives.
Soon, the news that Nine was once again seriously injured spread to the ears of the others.
In the room, Nine had yet to wake up.
Standing beside Gu Qingxue, Nanny Sheng looked at the unconscious Nine and sighed heavily, “Poor Young Master Nine, who are these godforsaken things that must kill him?”
Gu Qingxue sat by the bed, holding the token she had found on Nine.
