Chapter 188 I have done my best, now let’s arrange the funeral!
After hearing Su Rongrong's words, he didn't refuse, but he didn't agree either. He just looked at her silently without saying anything.
Su Rongrong placed her hopes on Baili Zheng, and seeing that Doctor Jiang said nothing, she didn't waste any more words.
Because she was in a hurry to go to the provincial capital, she did not stay in Muyun County for long. Instead, after accompanying Jinhui for two days, she set off for the provincial capital.
Jinhui actually knows his physical condition.
Even though he was reluctant to let them go, he didn't ask to stay when he thought of what his eldest sister had said about the family situation, including the fact that his mother was not in good health.
No one expected that after Su Rongrong left, his condition would deteriorate sharply in the evening of that day.
There was more and more pus and blood in the back of the brain, and it couldn't be stopped.
This was accompanied by a high fever that made me feel dizzy and I couldn't even open my eyes.
It can even be said that he had no consciousness at all, and his whole body twitched from time to time.
This made Doctor Jiang, who had secretly regarded him as his last disciple during this period, extremely anxious.
He tried everything, whether it was acupuncture, injecting medicine, wiping with warm water or wiping with liquor.
The heat of the issue just won’t go down.
After Jinhong finished his first county exam, Baili Zheng told him about it and came to see Doctor Jiang in person.
Because of his special status, he arrived around 11:00 p.m. after the city gates of Muyun County were closed.
When he arrived, he just happened to see Doctor Jiang standing in the yard with a sullen face, staring blankly ahead.
At that moment, based on his understanding of Doctor Jiang, he knew that Jinhui's condition was not good.
So when he saw Jinhui dying, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
He was well aware of Lao Jiang's medical skills.
Now even he is helpless, so this is probably the end of it.
Thinking of Qi Jiaying's situation in Lanxia County and looking at Jinhui like this, he felt very sad.
The medicine boy Xiao Mozi has been getting along very well with Jinhui during this period.
At this moment, she couldn't help but say with red eyes: "Although Xiao Huizi's condition has not been very good during this period, it is still stable.
A few days ago, because of Sister Rongrong's arrival, I saw that Xiao Huizi's mental state was fine.
Unexpectedly, after Sister Rongrong left today, he became a little unhappy, and then he became like this all of a sudden.
The master can’t think of a solution right now, Xiao Huizi, maybe this is it…”
Thinking that his friend was going to die, Xiao Mozi couldn't hold back any longer, and tears started to fall.
Baili Zheng remembered that there was a family medicine box in Su Rongrong's space.
There must be some medicine that can reduce fever quickly, such as ibuprofen.
No matter how old Jinhui is now, the current situation does not allow him to think too much.
He immediately went out and said to Doctor Jiang, "Old Jiang, you must find a way to stabilize Jinhui's condition. I will go out to chase Rongrong.
She has some medicine, I think it might be useful for Jinhui."
Having said that, he ignored his tiredness and went straight to the yamen to ask the county magistrate to exchange a horse.
Afterwards, he went to the carriage dealership and asked Su Rongrong about hiring a carriage. Then he got on the carriage and went out of the city.
This time, Su Rongrong still hired a carriage from the carriage company and went to Muyang Mansion.
It’s just that the driver is a bit old and drove too carefully, claiming that safety is the top priority, so the speed is not fast.
Normally, it would only take a day and a half to reach the provincial capital, but after a day, they had not even traveled one-third of the way.
It was not dark yet, so the driver found a forest to stop and rest.
It was not the first time for Su Rongrong to sleep outdoors, but this was the first time she had encountered such a situation, at such a fast speed and before it got dark, she had not continued walking.
She was in a hurry and was anxious. She wanted the driver to sit in the carriage so that she could drive the car.
But in the end, he suppressed the thought, pulled the car curtain, closed his eyes and entered the space, trying to pretend that he didn't see it.
Baili Zheng originally thought that if he went out to chase someone, he might have to ride at full speed for two or three hours.
Who would have thought that the person would be found in just one hour.
This made him feel shocked but also relieved.
Based on the information he got from the coachman's company, he confirmed the coachman and the carriage and shouted loudly.
"Rong Rong!"
Su Rongrong was in the space and hadn't slept yet.
When I heard Baili Zheng's voice coming from outside, I thought I was hallucinating.
After Baili Zheng called out "Rongrong" again, she was sure that she had not heard it wrong.
She immediately left the space and lifted the car curtain.
With the light coming from the fire on the ground, the moment she saw the person clearly, her heart inexplicably began to twitch.
How come Brother Zheng is here and knows that the person in the carriage is her?
Did something happen in her family?
Could it be that her mother is gone?
Thinking of this, her whole body began to tremble involuntarily.
After seeing the person, Baili Zheng reached out and pulled her out of the car.
"Jinhui is in trouble. He has a high fever and it won't go away. Lao Jiang is helpless now."
Su Rongrong didn't care about anything else when she heard that. She immediately climbed onto the carriage and took out the bundle that needed to be shown to outsiders.
“Master Zhang, I have urgent business to return to Muyun County.
As for the money, should I settle it with you now, or should I go back to the car dealership to settle it?"
Before, she only gave the car dealership a deposit.
The remaining half needs to be paid upon arriving at Muyang Mansion.
"You need to give me the money, and I'll go back and settle with the car dealership."
Even though they hadn't run half the distance yet, since Su Rongrong unilaterally wanted to leave early, the money had to be paid for the remaining half as agreed upon.
Baili Zheng was in a hurry to take people back, and he didn't know the exact fare, so he took out a two-tael silver ingot from his belt and threw it over.
"Master, the silver is on the shaft of the cart, see if it is enough.
If it’s not enough, we can go to the car dealership to make up for it tomorrow when we have time.”
After he finished speaking, he first jumped onto the horse, then bent down to pull Su Rongrong up, then whipped the horse and left.
Along the way, Su Rongrong was extremely anxious. She wanted to ask about Jinhui's situation, but the horse was running very fast and it was pitch black around them, so she couldn't open her mouth at all.
She was afraid that her questions would distract Baili Zheng's attention, and something might go wrong between the two of them.
Fortunately, the journey was safe and sound and the two returned safely.
However, when they entered the county town, it was already the end of the Yin hour in the morning of the next day. The sky was not so dark anymore, and it could even be said that there was still some brightness.
Su Rongrong, who had not slept all night, had such weak legs that she could not stand when she got off the horse.
Even so, she still stumbled towards the clinic.
After Baili Zheng left, Doctor Jiang rarely closed the clinic all night.
He asked Xiao Mozi to guard outside while he stayed by Jinhui's bed.
When Su Rongrong entered the room, she just happened to see bloodshot eyes and an untidy face as he turned his head.
"Doctor Jiang, how is Jinhui?"
She stood at the door, looking at the person on the bed, without even the courage to take a step forward.
“The high fever has not subsided. I have tried my best to hold on until now.
If it remains like this within an hour, then arrange your funeral!"
