Chapter 345 Saved a Key Person
Chapter 345 Saved a Key Person
Upon arriving at the clinic, the guards carried the person inside. The doctor on duty was startled to see such a large group of people entering, thinking something had happened. After seeing the patient, he immediately instructed his apprentice to prepare.
The other staff members at the clinic also realized that these young masters were no ordinary people, so they prepared chairs for them and asked them to sit inside and wait.
After waiting for a while, the doctor came out.
Jia Hu asked:
"Doctor, how is this person?"
The doctor shook his head, looking troubled.
"This man has been starving for a long time, but he must have been doing hard labor. He has bruises on his body and his health is very poor. He also has a fever. I've given him acupuncture now, and I'll give him medicine later. Now it's up to fate to see if he can pull through."
Jia Hu left the doctor enough silver and told him to come to the Zhen family to find him if anything happened.
When the doctor heard that they were from the Zhen family, he refused to accept the money.
Jia Hu firmly put down the silver, and only then did the attending physician accept it, promising to do everything possible to treat the person and to inform the young master as soon as there was any news.
Faced with this situation, the group lost interest in sightseeing and returned to the Zhen family home.
Upon returning to the Zhen family home, the grandfathers were not there. After a while, Situ Yi arrived with Situ Minghe. It turned out that the Emperor had gone out with his ministers and might not return that night. Upon learning this, Situ Minghe immediately pestered Situ Yi to come and play with Jia Hu.
Situ Minghe and Situ Yi stayed until dark and had dinner before going home.
As expected, the grandfathers did not return that night, so Jia Hu and Jia Zhen went to bed early.
When the grandfathers went out, they told the servants that the windmills and waterwheels had been made, and since the salt fields here were too small, they would go to the larger salt fields in the afternoon, and would definitely stay there in the evening.
The Emperor had not originally planned to build these windmills and waterwheels, but the craftsmen worked so hard that they managed to finish them even after staying up all night.
The device has been built, and the troops will arrive in a day. We can take advantage of this gap to test it out.
Zhen Zhangquan is still the person who knows the saltworks best, so let's make use of his remaining value.
Jia Hu regretted it. He wished he hadn't agreed to Zhen Jinhe's request to go out today. Maybe his grandfathers would have taken him along when they went out, since he was the one who drew the design.
Jia Zhen couldn't sleep either, so he rolled around on the bed.
"Little brother, stop rolling around. What if you catch a cold? Lie down properly now."
"Brother, I can't sleep. I keep thinking about the person we saved during the day. I wonder if he survived?"
The person was in such a terrible state, and Jia Zhen, since they had already saved him, wanted to try and revive him. But so far, the clinic hadn't sent any news, and they didn't know how the person was doing.
Jia Hu pulled Jia Zhen over and tucked him into the quilt. Even though the room was warm, they shouldn't do this.
"The doctor said he would do his best to treat him, and he definitely will. You heard it yourself, he's badly injured and his chances of survival are slim."
"Oh, that person is in such a sorry state. The doctor said he was starving and had to do hard labor, and he also has injuries all over his body. Brother, do you think he looks like he wasn't robbed, but rather like he was beaten and abused?"
This looks like someone from that household's servants, but how could the people of that household treat their servants so harshly and abusively?!
Jia Zhen was very puzzled. In his household, some people would be punished for making mistakes, but they would never treat servants like this.
Hard labor? Yes! Hard labor! Jia Hu suddenly sat up. He thought of the man's face. It should be a face that is exposed to the wind and sun all year round, dark and red. And it was hard labor. This man was not a simple person. It seems that he saved a very important person.
