Chapter 346 The person woke up
Since that's the case, this person is extremely important. Jia Hu immediately called his servant in and asked him to secretly send someone to the clinic to inquire about the condition of the person who had been rescued.
After giving his instructions, Jia Hu added:
"Send a few more people, one of them should come back to report, and the rest should stay there and protect that person."
The servant left the room and, without delay, immediately went to make arrangements.
Seeing his brother suddenly getting excited and making arrangements, Jia Zhen asked curiously:
"What's wrong, brother?"
Jia Hu pulled Jia Zhen aside and said:
"Thanks to your brother, you enlightened me. It seems we saved an extraordinary person."
Do you remember what your brother said before, that he felt something was off about the people at the saltworks? Later, he found out they might be soldiers they were training. So where did all the people who used to work at the saltworks go? The person we're rescuing now is very likely one of those laborers from the saltworks.
"If we rescue this person, we'll be able to find out what really happened at the saltworks."
Jia Hu thought about it more and more and felt that it made sense. The road they took to rescue people was the closest to that small salt field. There were no other large salt fields nearby. If the escaped laborers were from this salt field, they must have been from this salt field. Those who worked as laborers there must know a lot of things.
Wow, that's amazing!
Jia Zhen was also very happy. Although he didn't quite understand, he knew that this person was very important.
“My brother is such an important person, our imperial physicians here are definitely better than the doctors outside. Should we bring him here for treatment?”
“No, if we bring him in, the Zhen family will find out. If they do, they’ll definitely try to silence him. That clinic isn’t safe either. We’ll go out tomorrow and find another place for him.”
After waiting for half an hour, the guard returned with the news that the person who had been saved had recovered from the fever, but was still unconscious. The doctor at the clinic thought it was too late and did not dare to disturb him.
Jia Hu nodded and said:
"Thank you for your hard work. You should go back tonight too. You all need to keep an eye on this person."
The guard received the order and left.
Jia Hu and Jia Zhen then went to sleep, as they needed to be well-rested for their work the next day.
Unfortunately, his grandfathers were not home at that moment, and Jia Gu thought he should send someone to deliver a message to them the next day.
The next day, Jia Hu and Jia Zhen had breakfast and then went to the clinic. The guards who were on duty saw them coming and went up to report:
"This person woke up for a while last night, but kept talking nonsense and shouting something."
He kept shouting and struggling, but the doctor, fearing that the struggle would further aggravate his wound, gave him a sedative and put him to sleep.
"You've worked hard. I brought some people with me. You two go and rest first."
The doctor was up all night and didn't go to sleep until almost dawn. Now his young apprentice is keeping watch over him.
Jia Hu asked his young apprentice about the man's current condition. "My master said that the man's life has been saved, but his injuries are too severe, and he will need to take good care of himself from now on."
The young apprentice shook his head as he spoke. He was an orphan who had been wandering and had suffered a lot. Later, he met his master, who kindly took him in as an apprentice, and he was able to settle down and live a good life.
Therefore, he understands that people like this, who do hard labor, don't have money or time to recuperate properly. Even if they are saved, they won't live long.
Jia Hu and Jia Zhen stayed at the clinic until noon. The doctor, who hadn't slept for long, got up and gave the man another acupuncture treatment. After having lunch at the clinic, the man finally woke up.
Seeing that the person was awake, Jia Hu was very happy. Before he could even approach, the person immediately tried to get out of bed and run away.
The person was too weak to sit up and could only struggle in bed.
Seeing him like this, Jia Hu ordered the guards to hold him down. He then shouted at him:
"Wake up! We've rescued you. You've escaped. Look around! Open your eyes wide and see where you are. You're safe in the clinic."
Upon hearing this, the man slowly stopped struggling and asked in a hoarse voice:
"I escaped. I was in the clinic. You saved me."
Jia Hu comforted him, saying:
"Yes, you are safe now. You are seriously injured and cannot struggle, as it will only worsen your injuries."
The man suddenly burst into tears, his voice hoarse and sounding like he was weeping blood, making everyone who heard it feel a pang of sorrow.
Those around them sighed in disbelief. No one spoke.
After crying, the child wiped away his tears and said:
"Kind person, thank you so much for saving me. I can never repay your life-saving grace. Once I report this to the authorities and return, I will serve you like a slave."
