Chapter 168 Prison Break
"Kong Qing! Kong Qing!"
Luo Xiaoran called her several times, but Du Kongqing did not respond, and lay on the ground motionless, like a corpse.
Luo Xiaoran had a growing bad premonition in her heart. She slowly squatted down, put her hand gently on Du Kongqing's back, and wanted to turn her over. But she immediately felt something on her fingers. She was startled because it was Du Kongqing's blood.
Outside the prison, Wang Changbo watched as Luo Xiaoran knocked the guard unconscious with a single blow from her hand. Afterwards, Sun Qingyuan walked out carrying a bloody man on his back.
"You...you are jailbreaking!" Wang Changbo's throat was a little itchy. He pointed at Luo Xiaoran with his fan, a look of disbelief on his face.
Luo Xiaoran looked at him holding a fan in the middle of winter and couldn't help complaining: "I'm the one who broke into the prison, what are you afraid of!"
"I..." Wang Changbo choked.
Sun Qingyuan, who was carrying Du Kongqing on his back, said bluntly: "Why are you still daydreaming? Go find someone!"
Wang Changbo and the other two avoided the crowd and quietly came to an inconspicuous house under the name of the Wang family.
"Hot water, scissors, wound medicine, wine, and a doctor, quickly!"
After Luo Xiaoran gave the order, she drove Wang Changbo and Sun Qingyuan out. Sun Qingyuan was worried and wanted to stay here to watch over Kong Qing, but Luo Xiaoran rejected him mercilessly.
"I want to cut her clothes off and clean her wounds. What are you doing here?"
Some of Du Kongqing's wounds had already scabbed over, and his clothes were stuck to the scabs and could not be taken off at all.
Luo Xiaoran carefully cut open the clothes with scissors, and found that Du Kongqing's back was almost all torn, there were marks of slapping on his cheeks, and his forehead was hot, indicating that he had a fever.
First, he used a sweat towel to wipe the blood off his back, and then used alcohol to disinfect it. During this period, Du Kongqing was awakened by the pain once, but soon fainted again. Finally, he applied medicine and then bandaged it.
After cleaning the wound, Luo Xiaoran wiped Du Kongqing's body with wine, trying to lower her body temperature, but to little avail.
Doctor Zeng of Huichun Hall was just about to have lunch and had not even sat down when his young master sent someone to hurriedly pick him up and take him to a secluded house to treat a young girl.
"What a sin! This little girl has suffered a great punishment. She was beaten with a stick. It's a blessing that she didn't die."
When Sun Qingyuan heard the word "spine cane", he almost lost his balance and staggered down.
The caning on the back is the most severe of all caning punishments. As it is applied on the back, it will inevitably cause the skin and flesh to be torn and bleed profusely, and it is very easy to cripple a person.
Luo Xiaoran asked Wang Changbo to take Sun Qingyuan downstairs to rest. After all, he had not slept all night and was later thrown into prison. But he refused to leave, so Luo Xiaoran let him do as he pleased.
"I just checked her back and there are no signs of broken bones. Doctor Zeng, please check her again! The most troublesome thing is that the high fever has not subsided. Doctor Zeng, please take a look."
Doctor Zeng nodded and checked them one by one according to Luo Xiaoran's request, and his expression became more and more solemn.
"How is it? Doctor, can you say something?" Sun Qingyuan stared at the unconscious Du Kongqing. Seeing that Doctor Zeng didn't say a word, he couldn't help but ask, and his tone was very impatient.
Doctor Zeng didn't argue with him. He stroked his beautiful beard and pondered for a while before speaking slowly:
"The external injuries can be healed slowly, but this high fever is hard to reduce. If it doesn't go away tonight, it will be dangerous."
After Doctor Zeng wrote the prescription, Wang Changbo immediately sent someone to get the medicine. No one had time to eat. They just stared at Du Kongqing's medicine until it was ready and wanted to force it down her throat, but they failed.
Sun Qingyuan, who had not slept all night, now looked very haggard, with a circle of stubble on his chin.
He watched Luo Xiaoran holding onto Du Kongqing and trying to pry open her mouth, but he couldn't feed the medicine in.
Sun Qingyuan hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, went up to grab the medicine bowl, tilted his head back and poured a sip into his mouth, then walked towards Du Kongqing as if he was ready to die.
Luo Xiaoran saw that he was going to ignore Kong Qing's reputation and feed the medicine with his mouth, so she immediately stretched out her foot and kicked him aside.
Sun Qingyuan was caught off guard and his body tilted to the side, and all the medicine in his mouth was spat out on Wang Changbo's face. Then he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Wang Changbo: ... "I'm going to change my clothes."
Doctor Zeng was stunned by this scene. Luo Xiaoran coughed to draw his attention back, "Um, Doctor Zeng, you should be able to give Kong Qing an acupuncture injection to wake him up, right?"
"Indeed it can." Doctor Zeng came back to his senses and quickly gave Du Kongqing an acupuncture injection.
After a while, Du Kongqing slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the person in front of him, he couldn't believe it, so he closed his eyes again.
Luo Xiaoran felt bitter in her heart and spoke softly: "Kong Qing, open your eyes. You are injured. You need to take medicine. Otherwise, how can you get better?"
Hearing this voice, Du Kongqing's hazy consciousness finally became clear. It turned out that the person in front of him was really Luo Xiaoran!
Du Kongqing obediently used all his strength to open his eyes, but he couldn't utter a word.
Luo Xiaoran scooped a spoonful of medicine at a suitable temperature and carefully placed it next to her lips. "Don't you have the strength to speak? It's okay, just drink the medicine obediently. Get better soon after drinking the medicine. We still have a lot of things to do together!"
The dry and flaky lips opened a crack, and the dark brown medicine took the opportunity to flow into the mouth. It didn't matter if some of it soaked into the lips or slid onto the chin, as long as the medicine could be drunk, it was fine.
After drinking the medicine, Du Kongqing fell into a deep sleep again. Luo Xiaoran then freed her hands to move Sun Qingyuan, who was still lying on the ground, onto the small couch, and asked Doctor Zeng to check on him as well.
Sun Qingyuan was lucky. Although he was thrown into prison, he was not tortured. The reason he fainted was that he was too tired.
After drinking the medicine, Du Kongqing's temperature began to return to normal, but he started to have a fever again in the middle of the night.
This time even Doctor Zeng was at a loss. Luo Xiaoran could only keep wiping Du Kongqing's body with wine. Her temperature did not rise again, but it did not go down either.
On the next morning, Du Kongqing woke up on his own, as if he were having a last burst of consciousness.
At this time, Luo Xiaoran was taking a nap on Du Kongqing's bed. She had hardly had any rest for two days and two nights, and she had also been on a long journey with Qiu Niang and Niu Dan. Now she was extremely haggard and decadent.
Hearing Du Kongqing calling her, Luo Xiaoran suddenly opened her red eyes. Before she could see clearly whether Du Kongqing was really awake, she blurted out based on the sound she heard: "You're awake!"
After saying this, he thought he was dreaming, and reached out to pinch the bridge of his nose to relieve the soreness in his eyes. After he was fully awake, he could see clearly that Du Kongqing was really awake.
