Shu Yu brought the girl onto the mule cart. Due to Zhao Xi's presence, she always kept some commonly used medicines in the cart.
She examined Little Ya'er, who had large abrasions on her body, with some areas being more severe. There was also a healed wound on the back of her head, presumably from the beating inflicted by Li Xiaoshan and the others.
Although the little girl was unconscious and running a fever, her body occasionally trembled, as if she were feeling cold.
Shu Yu quickly took out a medicine bottle from a drawer, poured out some powdered medicine, and fed it to Little Ya'er using a water bag.
However, she only managed to feed half of it, as the girl kept spitting it out. It was pitiful to watch.
Jiang Gongzi returned, but this time he didn't let Ying Xi drive the cart. He sat on the carriage shaft himself, holding the reins tightly, and hurriedly rushed back to the manor.
The guards in the bamboo forest glanced over but turned back when they saw the people leave.
By now, it was getting late. When Shu Yu and the others returned to the manor, the other villagers had also gradually returned.
However, they hadn't found the child, and everyone's faces showed anxiety. They were discussing whether they should go to farther places to search.
Jiang Gongzi stopped the cart and said to everyone, "There's no need to go. We've found the person."
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief and was about to ask when they saw Shu Yu carrying the child off the cart. They immediately crowded around.
"Make way, the child is injured. Let Hu Bo take a look first."
The crowd immediately made way, and Hu Bo placed the girl on a bed, carefully taking her pulse. He also noticed the corners of Little Ya'er's mouth and raised his head to ask, "Has she eaten anything?"
"This." Shu Yu handed him the medicine bottle, and Hu Bo sniffed it. His eyes brightened slightly. "This is a rare good medicine. Since she has already taken the fever-reducing medicine, let's wait for now. I'll treat her wounds. If the fever doesn't go down later, we'll increase the dosage."
Hu Bo was somewhat relieved that this young lady had medicine with her. Otherwise, given the current situation at the manor, it would have been difficult to find suitable herbs for Little Ya'er. He had average medical skills and limited capabilities. Considering the time and the closed city gates, it would be impossible to send her to the medical hall in the city.
As for other doctors in the nearby towns and villages, they probably weren't as skilled as him.
Shu Yu also handed the medicine for external wounds to Hu Bo and told him to use whatever was necessary.
This time, Hu Bo looked at Shu Yu with a different gaze. Even though his medical skills were not outstanding, he could tell that the medicine in this young lady's hands was top-quality. He felt as if he had stumbled upon a treasure.
Shu Yu asked Ying Xi to stay and help, then walked out of the room.
Jiang Gongzi quickly stepped forward and asked, "How is she?"
Shu Yu shook her head and immediately asked, "Has the official arrived yet?"
Jiang Gongzi also found it strange. "By right, they should have returned by now."
Just as they were wondering, they heard shouts from the villagers outside the courtyard. "The magistrate is here, Jiang Dong's household, the magistrate is here."
Shu Yu and Jiang Gongzi exchanged a glance, then both walked out of the courtyard.
With just one glance, Shu Yu saw Hu Li. She didn't expect him to be the one coming.
Hu Li was accompanied by four officials, all of them looking exhausted but serious.
After he intended to come and ask about the location of the bodies and the culprits, he saw Shu Yu in front. He was momentarily stunned.
Jiang Gongzi approached him, but Hu Li didn't notice. Instead, he walked a few steps forward and stood in front of Shu Yu, bewildered as he asked, "Village Lord Lu, what are you doing here?"
It couldn't be related to the murder case, right?
