"When the three of us heard about this, we definitely had to rush to the county clinic, leaving Aunt Wu all alone at home just wouldn't do."

>And we didn't know how badly Wu Shu was hurt. Tang Yazi rode his horse straight to the doctor's office first, while I and San Shu followed in the carriage, taking the two children with us.

When I arrived at Yihe Chuns's Medical Hall in the county town, I saw my Fifth Uncle.

“Qing'er, I...I've never seen Uncle Five like this in my whole life...sniff sniff..."

Yang Yongjin burst into tears, "Uncle Five was beaten black and blue, his head wrapped in bandages, and blood seeping through the gauze."

“He had a broken rib and his left pinky finger was chopped off. He just lay there, still as death. I called him, but he couldn't even open his eyes...”

"Bang!"

Yang Ruqing swept the teacup from her hand and sent it crashing to the floor.

Kill intent, it emanated from her incessantly.

On the side, Old Yang was also so angry that his whole body trembled.

"In broad daylight, what kind of lawless person would do this? Are they trying to kill me? Oh my…" The old man trembled with anger, his words coming out in a jumbled mess.

As for Tan, she cried out to the heavens and raged against the earth.

"Old Fifth, my youngest son, what kind of misfortune have you suffered?"

“My dear son, your elder brother and second brother are both gone. Now I only have you three left. If anything were to happen to you, how could I possibly live?”

"Damn it, who the hell did this to my son? You'll surely die a horrible death! I curse your entire lineage for eighteen generations, may you die along with your father, sons, mother, and daughter-in-law..."

Tan cried so hard she fainted several times. The old woman had already gone to bed and was having a dream.

“I had a dream before. I dreamt that the fifth child was standing at my bedside, covered in blood, and said to me, 'Mother, I'm back...' ”

“I woke up from a dream in fright, and as soon as I woke up, I heard about this.”

"My son, oh my son, please don't have anything happen to you. Lord, if you must take someone, take me, this blind old woman, and spare my son! Ahhhh..."

Tan's harrowing cries made the mood in the room even heavier.

>

"Stop crying, it's annoying!" Old Yang shouted at Tan.

Tan froze for a moment, and then burst into even more heart-wrenching cries.

“You old bastard, you've been bullying me my whole life! If you have the guts, go find that asshole who hurt your son and confront him! You can yell at me all you want, but you're a coward. I spit on you!”

Tan spat, and his saliva splashed onto Lao Yang's face.

Lao Yang's lungs also exploded, he threw the pipe in his hand to the ground, and it broke into two pieces.

“Old Third, prepare the carriage. Yongjin, take the kitchen knife. I'm going to pay that bastard a visit. He dared to beat my son like this! I must cut off one of his arms!”

When the sky was just beginning to lighten, two carriages departed from Changping Village.

The first car was driven by Yang Yongjin, and Yang Ruqing was napping inside, conserving her energy.

The carriage behind was driven by Yang Yongzhi, with Old Yang and Luo the blacksmith inside.

Yang Huazhong was also coming, but Yang Ruohui forcibly kept him at home. The reason was that although elder brother Yang Yongxian stayed at home, he went to the academy to teach and couldn't delay.

Yang Huazhong must stay at home to take charge, otherwise, the women and children in the house would be leaderless.

The carriage never stopped, and by noon it arrived at the Yi He Chun Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall in Wang Hai County.

Yi He Chun Medical Hall, like Tian Xiang Lou, is also a chain. The medical hall in town doesn't have medicinal herbs that the Yi He Chun headquarters in the county city does.

Furthermore, this Yihe Spring Medicine Hall is affiliated with the county medical association.

Here's the translation of " <<<

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

Yang Ruqing and her companions arrived at the medical clinic's entrance. After inquiring with the attendant, they were quickly led to the ward area in the back courtyard.

Luo Fengtang happened to come over from that side, and the two groups of people met smoothly.

Old Yang was the first to rush to Luo Fengtang's side, "Fengtang, how is your fifth uncle? Where is he?" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Luo Fengtang glanced at these dusty travelers and hurriedly said, "Sir, please don't worry. Fifth Uncle's injuries are temporarily stable. He just woke up, so I let Fifth Aunt stay with him. I'll go outside to buy them some lunch."

"Can your Uncle Wu eat now?" Old Yangtou asked excitedly.

Luo Fengtang said, "The doctor said that he can't eat hard things for now. I went to the opposite teahouse to get some noodles and soup. The doctor said that Fifth Uncle is very weak now."

Old Yang nodded repeatedly, "As long as we can eat something, that's a good thing. Yongjin, you're familiar with the county town, why don't you go buy some? Let Tang Ya zi take us to your fifth uncle's ward!"

"Good!"

Yang Yongjin turned and ran away in a flash.

Here, Luò Fēng Táng said to Lǎo Yángtóu and Yáng Ruòqíng and Yáng Yǒngzhì: "Come with me here!"

>

The three of them followed Luò Fēng Táng past the other wards and arrived directly at the innermost ward.

There is just a bed in this ward, and against the wall by it stands a soft mat.

Yang Huazhou lay straight on the bed, with gauze wrapped around his head, revealing only one eye, one nostril, and one mouth.

He was covered in blankets, with a bandage on one arm. The hand that had been chopped off a finger was completely wrapped in gauze.

There was another leg, bandaged and hung up, the other end of the rope hanging from a beam above the bed.

Seeing Yang Huazhou like this, Yang Ruqing's nose ached, and tears were welling up in her eyes.

Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!

She wasn't a crier, especially not at a time like this. Tears were a sign of weakness.

She took a deep breath and held back her tears.

Because Lao Yangtou, who was walking ahead of her, had already cried out, "Lao Wu!"

Then, the old man staggered to the bedside.

At the bedside, Bao Suyun had originally been sitting on the side wiping her tears. Hearing the noise behind her, Bao Suyun hurriedly got up to make room for Lao Yangtou.

“Qinger, you all came…” Bao Suyun said to Yang Ruqing with tears in her eyes.

The woman's eyes were bloodshot, her eye sockets swollen like peaches, and her voice was hoarse.

>

Evidently, she was crying throughout the whole process of Wu Shu's injury.

"Don't worry, Aunt Wu, we're here." Yang Ruqing held Bao Suyun's hand tightly.

Bao Suyun could no longer hold back her tears and burst into sobs, leaning against Yang Ruohui's shoulder.

Yang Ruqing raised her hand to gently caress Bao Suyun's back, but her gaze was fixed on Yang Huazhou lying on the bed.

At this time, he was awake because he opened one eye.

Seeing so many family members gathered at his bedside, surprise and joy filled his eyes.

Immediately, guilt surged over him.

"It's all my fault. I caused this trouble and implicated you all, the old and the young. Because of me, none of you can live in peace..."

Yang Huazhou spoke slowly, his voice extremely weak.

Without saying a word, his mouth would twitch with pain. When he spoke, he'd have to pause and catch his breath for a moment before continuing.
