81 Chapter 81 Rescue
Gu Chengrui was stunned after hearing this. He cursed inwardly as he remembered the strangeness in the village these two days.
Not only were they being watched, but they also discovered their old family was selling bean sprouts, and the person had taken action.
Thinking of this, he immediately turned around and returned to the house. He said to Zhou Ying, “Babe, something happened over there, and I have to go over. Do you want to come with me or wait at home? ”
“Let’s go together. If I don’t go, who knows what rumors they’ll spread.” Zhou Ying also began to put on her clothes.
After that, the couple hurriedly packed up the first aid kit, locked the door, and walked to their old house together in the drizzling rain.
When they arrived, they found the old house was in a mess. Some were wailing, and some were carrying buckets of water back and forth. However, all that came out of the main house was blood.
When Gu Chengye saw Gu Chengrui enter, he immediately brought him into the main house and said, “Chengrui, hurry up and look at Father and Second uncle. You have to save them.”
After entering the room, Gu Chengrui was shocked to see the two lying on a large bed. It was obvious that they had been soaked, and their faces were as pale as paper. Under the light, a faint gray hue was on their faces, making them look like dead people.
Then, he quickly went over to listen to their heartbeats. After confirming that the two of them were still alive, he said to Gu Chengye and Gu Chengzhi, squatting at the side and starting a fire, “Big brother, don’t start a fire. You and Chengye should wash your hands and help me deal with their wounds.”
After he finished, he looked at Mrs. Qiao, who was sitting on the chair nervously and said, “Grandmother, take all the women out first. Remember to prepare a set of clean clothes and bedding for Father and Second uncle.”
“Sigh, I’ll leave this place to you. If you need anything, just let me know.” After Mrs. Qiao finished speaking, she sat up and then walked out with the help of Mrs. Huang.
When Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao saw this, they did not want to go out but knew that now was not the time to make a fuss and followed quietly.
After coming out, everyone saw Zhou Ying’s rosy and chubbier face. But they only glanced at her and didn’t have the mood to find fault with her.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying naturally did not look for trouble. She turned around and pulled Gu Chengxi into the kitchen to help boil some water and stoke the fire.
At the same time, Zhou Ying asked, “Chengxi, do you know what happened? How did they get so badly injured? ”
“I heard that the cargo ship encountered water bandits on the way. Not only had they robbed father’s money, but they also sank the boat. So, not only did we lose all the money we earned recently, but I also heard that they had to pay for the medical expenses of the crew and reimburse the boat.
More importantly, two people died. I’m afraid that…” Gu Chengxi’s face fell as he said this.
“Someone died? How many people are there on the ship?”
“I heard that there are eight of them. Besides uncle and my father, there are six other crew members?”
“Are they all from the clan?”
“No, there are some from other villages.”
After Zhou Ying heard this, she knew that the Gu family was in big trouble this time. It was likely that the family coffers would be emptied, and she had a headache just thinking about it.
After that, she didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, she asked about his recent lifestyle and was relieved to know that he was doing well.
About two hours later, the light rain turned into light snow. Gu Chengrui and his two brothers had worked together to treat the wounds of the two elderly.
After they were finally carried back to their rooms, Gu Chengrui said, “Remember not to start a fire in the house. Instead, use the method of rubbing the palms of your hands and feet to let them slowly warm up.
“For the next seven days, they must eat light food, or else it will be troublesome if their wound festers.”
“Father is already injured to this extent. You can’t possibly still want to go back, right?” Gu Chengye turned his head and asked.
