172 We Can Live a Good Life Soon
Li Hongmei did not believe it. She tore at Doctor Li like a lunatic. Doctor Li’s old bones almost fell apart because of her.
Old Master Lin ordered him with red eyes, “You have to save my eldest grandson!”
It was still unknown if the baby in Wang Mingyue’s stomach was a boy!
If it was not, their Lin family’s bloodline would have been severed!
Doctor Li tried his best to say that he could not save Lin Yao anymore. He said it several times, but the family refused to believe in reality. With a tearing sound, a big hole was torn in his sleeve.
He couldn’t take it anymore and said angrily, “Let go!”
Li Hongmei refused to let go.
In order to escape, Doctor Li said, “There’s a doctor from Youjia village. Everyone says that his medical skills are brilliant and he’s better than Hua Tuo. Hurry up and go find him!”
He had never admitted it in the past, but now it had become the best excuse to get away.
Li Hongmei had already broken down. Doctor Li’s words were like an oasis for a starving person.
She rushed out of the door. Old Madam Lin cried, “We offended Youjia Village. Can this doctor save our grandson?”
Old Master Lin did not know. Looking at Lin Yao’s gradually lifeless face, tears streamed down his face.
A cold smile flashed across Wang Mingyue’s eyes. She took the opportunity to walk to Old Madam Lin and say gently, “Mother, don’t worry. I’m here.”
Old Madam Lin suddenly looked at her stomach and realized that she was still covered in feces. She said, “Hurry up and go to the side room to boil some water and take a shower. Have a good rest and don’t scare the little grandson in your stomach.”
It was impossible for the dead to come back to life. If something had happened to the eldest grandson, nothing should happen to the youngest.
Wang Mingyue suppressed the corners of her mouth and shook her head. “How can I go at this time?”
Old Madam Lin straightened her face. “Just go!”
Wang Mingyue revealed a forced expression and frowned. She turned around and left worriedly.
When she walked into the side room, she thought of Lin Yao, who was no longer breathing. The smile on her lips could no longer be restrained.
She gently stroked her stomach and smiled happily. “Son, we’ll be able to live a good life soon.”
How could Li Hongmei, who had lost her son, fight with her?
Li Hongmei stumbled to Youjia village and rushed in without care. The dark guard pushed her to the ground, and she got up and shouted, “Please, save my son. Please, let the doctor save my son…”
Bao Zhaoshan had just taken a sip of tea when he heard a commotion outside of Youjia village.
He looked at Village Chief Zhao speechlessly. “This family is really too shameless.”
Village Chief Zhao agreed. “That’s right.”
Bao Zhaoshan brought the bailiffs to meet Li Hongmei at the village entrance. “Why are you here again?”
When Li Hongmei saw Bao Zhaoshan, it was as if she saw hope. She knelt on the ground and begged, “Officer, I beg you, let Youjia village doctor see my son. He’s dying.”
Village Chief Zhao scolded coldly, “Nonsense! Your son was still alive just now. How can he be dying?!”
Everyone looked at her with disdain.
Li Hongmei cried and shook her head. She said incoherently, “His father broke his head and he bled a lot. He’s really going to die. I’m not lying. Saving a life can accumulate merit and allow one to live a long life. If you don’t help him and he dies, you’ll go to hell! Sob ~ Please save my son!”
Everyone felt very annoyed by her threat.
Bao Zhaoshan frowned. “Don’t play any tricks. Isn’t there a Doctor Li in your village? If you want to look for a doctor, you should look for him first.” Doctors were very rare talents in every dynasty. If they wanted to treat someone, they had to register with the government.
Bao Zhaoshan knew very well that there was a Doctor Li in the village.
Li Hongmei was covered in feces. She sat on the ground and cried, “I did. He was the one who asked me to look for Doctor Gu from Youjia Village!”
Li Hongmei did not look like she was acting. If she was pretending, it would be too good.
Just as everyone was hesitating about whether to look for Gu Zhongxun to save her, Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao appeared.
Village Chief Zhao immediately found his backbone and hurriedly said, “Madam, she wants to invite Doctor Gu out for a consultation.”
Bai Wutong glanced at the dirty woman and nodded. “Go ahead and call him. After all, it’s a human life.”
If anything really happened, with this family’s character, they would even harm Gu Zhongxun’s reputation.
Bai Wutong looked at Bao Zhaoshan and said to him politely, “Officer Bao, please help this big sister see how her son was injured. If there’s a murderer, you must seek justice for this big sister.”
Bao Zhaoshan immediately understood what Bai Wutong meant.
It would be bad if Gu Zhongxun went to see a patient and was accidentally accused by them.
With him around, Li Hongmei wouldn’t dare.
Bao Zhaoshan nodded. “It’s my duty.”
Gu Zhongxun packed up his medicine box and quickly appeared.
Li Hongmei cried tears of joy and hurriedly led the way.
Li Hongmei ran out crazily. When she returned, she was actually followed by an official. The villagers of Lintian Village immediately followed her to watch the commotion.
Lin Chenghai had already carried Lin Yao to the bed. Gu Zhongxun entered the house, and Bao Zhaoshan followed.
Lin Chenghai wiped his cold sweat and hurriedly asked Gu Zhongxun, who had just entered and had yet to check on Lin Yao, “Doctor, can my son still be saved?”
Gu Zhongxun only took a glance at Lin Yao and realized that he was already dead.
He shook his head. “Unfortunately.”
When Lin Chenghai heard Gu Zhongxun’s words, the last trace of hope in his heart was shattered.
He covered his face in regret and wept.
Li Hongmei could not take the second blow. Suddenly, she grabbed Gu Zhongxun’s neck with a ferocious expression. “Impossible! Impossible! Aren’t you Hua Tuo? Why can’t you save my son! It’s all your fault. It’s because you came late that my son died! I want to avenge my son!”
Bao Zhaoshan immediately pulled Li Hongmei away and said angrily, “What are you doing! You are intending to commit murder. I can bring you back to the government office now!”
Li Hongmei knelt on the ground and cried. “My son was fine just now. He can’t be dead!”
Gu Zhongxun held his neck and frowned as he panted. “Before I came, your son had already passed away for half an hour.”
Li Hongmei sat on the ground in despair and cried her heart out.
Bao Zhaoshan vaguely remembered that Li Hongmei said that his son was killed by Lin Chenghai.
He walked forward and examined the corpse. His gaze landed on Lin Chenghai’s face, which was filled with regret. He questioned, “How did your son get the wound on his head?”
Lin Chenghai wanted to avoid this question.
A tiger would not hurt its cubs. He did not want anyone to know.
Bao Zhaoshan lowered his eyes and said to a bailiff, “The deceased suffered a violent blow to the head and did not die of an accident. Go and inform Lord Yang that there’s a new case.”
“Yes!”
Old Master Lin quickly stopped the official. “It was an accident. It was all an accident. My grandson accidentally hit his head.”
At this point, it was better to protect his son’s reputation.
Bao Zhaoshan had experience in handling cases. Old Master Lin’s words were just to coax people.
He asked, “Where did he hit himself? Show me.”
Old Master Lin could only point at the door and say, “There.”
Bao Zhaoshan walked over and took a closer look. He stood up and sneered at Old Master Lin. “If you dare to spout nonsense again, I’ll arrest all of you and interrogate you carefully to arrest the murderer!”
