Chapter 244: Promise me a condition
When Hong Xiaoduo sat up, Feiyan had already gotten up and lit the candle.
Pushing the door open, he saw several people outside, Quan Jinghuai with a frown on his face, the innkeeper with an apologetic look, and the guard from the evening with a haggard and anxious look on his face.
"Little lady, I stopped you, but he..." the guy explained quickly.
Before the guy could finish speaking, the guard clasped his fists and knelt down on one knee in front of Hong Xiaoduo: "Please, little lady, please save my wife. I know this is very rude, but right now, only Xiaoduo can The lady can save her.”
"But I'm not a doctor." Hong Xiaoduo also frowned and responded. She naturally knew that she was here for help, not for medical treatment, so there was no misunderstanding that she was a doctor.
She frowned not because she was disturbed while sleeping soundly, but because she felt that the matter must be quite serious. Otherwise, how could such a grown man come to kneel down and beg for her in the middle of the night?
"Please, madam, just let the young master see my wife. He is the young master who was scared by my wife in the evening." The guard said with difficulty.
It is really unspeakable to be so presumptuous and force others to do something difficult, but other than that, he really can't think of any other solution.
“What’s wrong with your wife?” Hong Xiaoduo asked.
Although it is an urgent matter, I somehow understand everything, so I naturally have to ask.
"Just tell me where she is now?" Hong Xiaoduo saw his anxious look and asked again.
"It's just outside the inn." The innkeeper had just finished explaining to the other guests who had been woken up. He turned around and heard Hong Xiaoduo asking, and rushed to tell him.
"Take me to see it first." Hong Xiaoduo looked at the guard and said.
When the other party heard this, he opened his mouth to say something, hesitated for a moment, got up and walked out.
Hong Xiaoduo signaled Quan Jinghuai to stay upstairs and followed him to see what was going on. He didn't know anything, so of course he couldn't take Kaiyang with him rashly.
While walking out, the guard briefly said that the lady was brought back to her residence by him in the evening. After she woke up, she started crying in all kinds of ways. Not only did she not eat or drink, but... He also broke the bowl filled with medicinal soup, picked up a piece of porcelain and put it against his neck, threatening to go out to look for Kaiyang he met in the evening.
The people around her couldn't coax her. If she got closer, she would actually cut her throat. The people around her were really helpless, so they took her out to look for her.
He came here from one inn to another, and was afraid of making the whole inn uneasy. After discussion, his wife finally agreed to wait outside.
While talking, Hong Xiaoduo followed him outside the inn. Under the hanging lantern, a carriage stopped in the middle of the road. There was a coachman and the maid he had seen in the evening.
After the coachman and the maid saw Hong Xiaoduo, they all looked behind her and saw that the back was empty, and their faces suddenly showed worries.
The guard did not bother to explain to them. He went straight to the window of the carriage and whispered: "Madam, the child's family is here."
After saying that, he opened the window. The curtain signaled Hong Xiaoduo to step forward.
Hong Xiaoduo stepped forward. A lantern was hung in front of the carriage, and the interior of the carriage was also lit. Therefore, Hong Xiaoduo could see clearly what was going on inside.
The condition of the lady inside looked worse than in the evening. Hong Xiaoduo looked inside, and she also stared outside.
A hand so thin that the veins were exposed tightly grasped a piece of broken porcelain and pressed it against the throat. The white neck had been cut. Although it was not very deep, the skirt of the clothes had been dyed red.
"Please, let me see that child, please?" Madam's lips trembled for a long time, her voice was hoarse and she begged, and her eyes suddenly turned red. .
"Let me think about it." After Hong Xiaoduo finished speaking, he walked away a few steps and motioned for the guard to come over.
"What's going on? Why is she so persistent in wanting to see my child?" Hong Xiaoduo asked in a low voice. "This is a long story." The guard didn't know where to start.
Hong Xiaoduo frowned and interrupted: "To make a long story short, let's get to the point."
"My wife's only son died unexpectedly even before he reached his first birthday." The guard thought for a moment and responded.
Obviously he is at least half a decade older than her, but why does he seem to be her junior?
Hong Xiaoduo understands that this lady is mentally ill and mentally ill because of the loss of her son. No wonder!
He turned back to the window of the carriage and said in a softer voice involuntarily: "I can agree to let you see the child, but I have conditions."
Hearing that she could see the child, the woman's eyes lit up: "You tell me."
"It's definitely not appropriate for you to see him like this, it will scare him. Children are timid, and my wife should be better than me." Is it clearer?" Hong Xiaoduo said, pointing to the position of the woman's clothes.
The woman immediately looked down and saw the blood on her clothes.
"If you want to see the child, throw away the things in your hands first. How about we find a medical clinic to bandage the wound, tidy up a little, and change clothes?
Of course. You can refuse, or I can refuse to let you see the child." After Hong Xiaoduo finished speaking, he looked at the other party.
"Are you really agreeing? Are you trying to trick me?" the woman asked in disbelief.
Facing the poor woman, Hong Xiaoduo was not impatient at all; "If you don't believe me, then just pretend that I didn't say anything and I went back to sleep."
After saying that, she made a move to leave.
The guards, servants, and coachman standing nearby all pricked up their ears and listened. The three of them all heard that Hong Xiaoduo said this on purpose. While feeling a little relieved, they all sighed. This strange little lady is so kind and willing to help.
"I believe it." An anxious response came from the carriage, fearing that Hong Xiaoduo was really gone.
Seeing their wife throwing the porcelain shards out of the car, the three people's hanging hearts finally dropped.
"Okay, let's find a medical clinic first." Hong Xiaoduo said to the guard.
"What about you, little lady?"
Hong Xiaoduo understood what he meant and immediately expressed his stance: "I will be with you."
Hearing what she said, the guard His expression immediately relaxed, and he quickly looked around on both sides of the street, calling to the driver to drive towards the nearest medical clinic.
The medical center was closed at night. After knocking on the door and asking for help to bandage the wound on her neck, she returned to her residence and helped the woman wash up and put on clean clothes.
When doing these things, Hong Xiaoduo was present, giving the woman peace of mind.
"Don't worry, little lady. Even when my wife is sick, she will only hurt herself and never attack anyone else." The maid glanced at the lady who was looking in the mirror after washing, then turned around and whispered to Hong Xiaoduo road.
Hong Xiaoduo nodded: "I know, otherwise, I would not agree."
After the woman looked in the mirror, she turned around and looked at Hong Xiaoduo, her eyes urgent.
"Then let's go." Hong Xiaoduo said...
