Chapter 129: Chapter 128: Looking for Gu Youyou

It wasn’t as serious as they had said. The bleeding had stopped, and although the child was no longer crying, she still shuddered occasionally.

He stepped forward to examine her and then quickly set down the medicine chest he was carrying, taking out the disinfectant to carefully clean the wound!

Sanya started crying again from the pain, and Qin Changlin said, "Hold the child down firmly; don’t let her wiggle around."

Huang Xiangwen and Meng Qiuju held down Sanya’s flailing arms, one on each side. The heart-wrenching cries were distressing to hear.

The Huang Family matriarch kept lamenting about misfortune, exclaiming over the suffering of such a young child, while scolding Huang Xiangwen for not being able to care for a child properly and letting her fall like this.

"And now we’ve had to call a doctor from town. How much silver will this cost? It’s like tearing her heart out!"

If it were any other time, Huang Xiangwen would definitely argue back, reasoning that children’s legs can run on their own, and it’s not her fault if they fall. However, she was at a loss for words this time; it was her negligence that had led to the child’s fall!

Hearing the crying, Gu Hong got anxious and asked Qin Changlin in a hurry, "Doctor Qin, will the cut on Sanya’s face leave a scar?"

Qin Changlin replied, "It’s hard to say. I’ll try to treat it as best as I can, but whether or not it will scar depends on how you take care of it afterward!"

Gu Hong agreed earnestly, saying, "Just tell us how to take care of it, Doctor Qin, and we will follow your instructions!"

Qin Changlin just smiled and continued to clean the wound.

A moment later, he added, "Previously, a woman with the surname Gu used to sell herbs at our Jisheng Hall. Her name is Gu Youyou. Do you know her?"

Gu Feng was aware of Gu Youyou selling the herbs she had picked, and he said, "Yes, I know her. That’s my granddaughter, and she lives in our village!"

Qin Changlin wasn’t aware that Gu Youyou was already married and found it strange that she didn’t live with them. But he didn’t think it was polite to inquire further into someone else’s family matters, so he merely said, "In the past, she sold an herb at Jisheng Hall called Macrolepiota, which is good for treating wounds and is less likely to leave scars. I’ve run out of it, so I brought some other herbs, but they’re not as effective as Macrolepiota. If you could get some from her, it would help the young girl’s wound heal better."

Upon hearing this, the Gu Family, without waiting for Gu Feng to speak, Gu Hong hurriedly instructed Gu Dabao, saying, "Dabao, go tell your elder sister to bring the Ma... what was it again?"

"Macrolepiota!" Qin Changlin said.

"Oh right, tell her to bring the Macrolepiota!"

The matter-of-fact tone from Gu Hong made even Qin Changlin, an outsider, inwardly marvel.

Did he really know Gu Youyou well enough to expect her to obey so readily?

Of course, Qin Changlin had only wanted to find an excuse to see Gu Youyou, so the manner in which they fetched her wasn’t his concern.

Gu Youyou hadn’t gone up the mountain for several days, now busying herself in the backyard with the two plots of medicinal herbs and in the front yard with the two plots of vegetables.

Even if she went to the mountain, she didn’t dare to venture deep, as Jin Zijin had his own business to attend to. He wasn’t merely hunting, so it was not appropriate for her to accompany him.

But she couldn’t find anything worthwhile outside the mountain.

When Gu Dabao and Gu Hong found her, she was pulling weeds in the vegetable garden.

Without any fertilizer, the vegetables weren’t growing very well, while the weeds were thriving vigorously!

Gu Youyou had heard someone approaching. They were coming swiftly.

Only when they were close did she look up to see who it was.

"Dabao, is there an emergency?"
