Bai Gu was stunned on the spot, his lips couldn't help trembling, but he couldn't say a word.
Brother Peng knew what Bai Gu wanted to ask, so he supported Bai Gu with both hands to prevent him from fainting and falling down. "The afternoon before yesterday, when Aguang was patrolling the street, he found Xiaoxiao lying at the door. His whole body was covered with injuries. He only had a thin piece of clothing on him. Thin underwear. All the quilts and cotton-padded clothes in the house were robbed, as well as the food, all gone."
A Guang was the swarthy strong man who was beaten by Brother Peng that day.
Bai Gu felt dizzy, and Brother Peng's next words made him collapse even more.
"Xiao Xiao has multiple fractures all over his body and a trauma to his head. He is still awake. The Ah Yue in the room... is dead. He was frozen to death."
Bai Gu's hands and feet went limp and he fell into Brother Peng's arms.
His mind is confused now.
He just went up the mountain to see why such a big thing happened at home.
Xiaoxiao was unconscious, Ayue... was gone.
how so!
No, I want to go back, I want to see, Brother Peng must have lied to me!
Yes, that’s right, it must be like this, it must be like this!
Xiaoxiao and Ayue will be fine!
That can't be the case!
Bai Gu looked panicked, his hands and feet couldn't help but tremble, and he stood up silently holding Brother Peng in his arms.
Brother Peng wanted to say something more, but he shook his hand away.
Bai Gu fell completely on the snow.
Brother Peng wanted to go over and help him up, but Bai Gu had already stood up unsteadily with support on his body, and then walked towards Lingding Alley step by step, like a drunken man.
He kept mumbling something.
But before Bai Gu had gone very far, he suddenly started running, as fast as when he was being chased by a giant snake.
Brother Peng was startled and quickly shouted to Xiaoxi's men not far ahead: "Catch him and watch him! If anything happens to Xiaobai, I will skin you!"
Several men hurriedly chased Bai Gu.
But Bai Gu has been running much faster than ordinary people since he was a child, not to mention that now he is using all his strength unconsciously.
The two are not on the same level at all.
Brother Peng's men couldn't catch up even though they tried their best, and could only watch Bai Gu running further and further away.
"A bunch of trash!" Brother Peng cursed angrily and quickly sped up to catch up.
——————
Bai Gu rushed home, but what he saw was a miserable look.
The door that was supposed to be closed is now open, and half of it is still damaged and crumbling. In the house, there was only a broken table, four chairs with missing arms and legs, and an empty wooden bed.
Everything else is gone.
Cotton clothes, quilts, food.
Everything Bai Gu left for Bai Xiaoxiao and A Yue before leaving was gone.
Bai Xiaoxiao and Ah Yue were also missing.
Bai Gu suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Brother Peng and his men arrived late, all panting heavily. I have never seen a boy who can run like this!
Seeing Bai Gu's appearance, Brother Peng couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
Bai Gu turned around suddenly, grabbed Brother Peng tightly with both hands, stared at him with wide eyes, his lips kept trembling, and a hoarse whimper roared out of Bai Gu's throat, but he couldn't make a complete sound. Character.
Like an impatient little beast.
It was caused by extreme sadness and anger.
Brother Peng held Bai Gu's hand, trying to calm him down, "Listen, Xiao Bai! Xiao Xiao I have been sent to Lao Liu Tou, and he is thinking of a way now! When Ah Yue and we arrived, there was nothing we could do, so we had to A small grave was built and she was buried next to Mrs. Bai."
Bai Gu still couldn't help but tremble, but his mood was much more relaxed than before.
But he was still speechless and could only whimper.
Brother Peng patted Bai Gu on the shoulder, "You can cry if you want. There's no shame in crying in front of me."
Bai Gu shook his head, struggled to stand up, and walked out.
The pace is shaky but determined.
It's the direction of Lao Liutou's house.
He wants to see Bai Xiaoxiao, this is his sister, nothing can happen to Bai Xiaoxiao again!
This is his only relative in this world!
Even if there is no blood relationship.
Brother Peng looked at Bai Gu's thin back and felt very uncomfortable.
He tilted his head slightly and said in a cold voice, "Have you caught those bastards?"
"Five were caught, but there are still a few missing." The swarthy strong man, A Guang, came out and reported.
"Huh?" Brother Peng frowned, very dissatisfied with the result.
"Brother Peng, please listen to my explanation. Three of the boys who were not caught are from other gangs. The other one has some background. I heard that he is from a big family. Now he runs back and hides. So it's not impossible. It's not easy to catch him." Aguang hurriedly told the situation like a bamboo tube pouring beans, for fear that he would make Brother Peng angry if he spoke too slowly.
"There are other gangs and big families?" Brother Peng frowned even more. This matter is a bit difficult to deal with. "Bring those bastards over first and meet with Old Liu Tou."
"yes!"
After Brother Peng gave these instructions, he hurried to Old Liu Tou's house.
With Bai Gu's appearance, he might have had something happen to him along the way.
This guy is really annoying!
"Knock knock knock!"
There was a knock on the door, and Old Liu looked up at the door that was already open.
He practices medicine in Lingding Alley and treats these suffering people for free, just to show his kindness as a doctor. Therefore, except for sleeping time, the door of his house is always open, just to prevent someone from getting seriously ill and unable to find others.
Even if he went to collect medicine or visit someone's home to see a doctor, he would leave a note indicating where he went so that others could find it easily.
At this time, standing in front of the old Liu Tou's house was Bai Gu.
When Old Liu Tou saw it was Bai Gu, he smiled kindly and said, "Xiao Bai is here, come in and sit down."
But Bai Gu stood at the door with his head lowered, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Hey, no one wants to think about this kind of thing. You come in first and talk about it." Old Liu Tou knew why Bai Gu was acting like this.
Isn't it just because of Bai Xiaoxiao?
While blaming myself for going up the mountain at that time and staying there for so long, I felt free to leave the two little girls Bai Xiaoxiao and A Yue at home. Why was he not with them when the incident happened, so that they were so hurt?
Bai Gu feels guilty, blames himself, and regrets.
What if I had entrusted Ah Yue to Lao Liu Tou and brought Bai Xiaoxiao up the mountain with me? What if I wait a little longer and prepare for a few more days? In other words, you can take two people to ask the old beggar to help take care of them. Can these things be avoided?
However, there are not so many ifs in the world.
There is no regret medicine to take.
Seeing Bai Gu's appearance, Old Liu Tou suddenly became furious and slapped the piece of licorice in his hand on the table, "Bai Gu! Can you fucking wake up! Are you still a man? You're like a bitch. Who cares! You are the only man in the Bai family now, can you show some masculinity? If you collapse, the entire Bai family will also collapse! Did Mrs. Bai, a good person all her life, teach you such a thing?! "
Bai Gu's body trembled, and when he raised his head, his face was filled with tears, "Grandpa Liu, Xiaoxiao..."
Before Bai Gu could finish speaking, Old Liu Tou interrupted him directly, "Put away your worthless tears! Can crying solve the problem? This is the sign of a coward! Put away this ghost of yours, think Okay, then come in and talk!"
After saying that, Old Liu Tou walked into the back room.
Bai Gu quickly wiped it on his face and took several deep breaths before he dared to step into Old Liu Tou's house.
There are three wooden beds in the back room, where Old Liu Tou usually receives seriously ill and dying patients. At this time, lying quietly on the wooden bed closest to the door... or rather, a large dumpling wrapped in a bandage.
Only by relying on the exposed eyes, nose, and hands and feet, could one barely recognize that the large, mummy-like dumpling in front of him was a human being.
It's Bai Xiaoxiao.
Bai Gu looked at the big dumpling on the wooden bed in front of him. He opened his mouth several times, but couldn't say a word.
Old Liu glanced at him, "If you still want to cry, just get out and cry enough before you come back in. Don't act like this here! I'm annoyed by it!"
Bai Gu had no choice but to take a slow, deep breath and hold back the melancholy mood. Then Bai Gu raised his head again and asked, "Grandpa Liu, how is Xiaoxiao?"
His tone was still trembling, but it was much calmer.
Old Liu turned around, squatted down, and turned his back to Bai Gu. He didn't know what he was looking for, but it did not affect his answer, "Xiao Xiao is seriously injured. The back of her head suffered a violent impact. Although it was not serious, she suffered a concussion." There was no escape. There was some damage to the middle part of the spine. The most serious injuries were concentrated in the chest and abdomen. All the ribs were almost completely broken. There were varying degrees of damage to the internal organs, and there was a lot of internal bleeding. It was a blessing that it was discovered in time, and it would have been a little later. It’s gone.”
The more Bai Gu listened, the more frightened he became, and his body couldn't stop trembling. But he still tried to stay calm, "Then, when will she get better?"
Old Liu Tou stopped what he was doing and thought about it seriously, "It takes a year for me to wake up here."
Bai Gu was silent.
Old Liu Tou continued to speak: "If we can go to a better medical center and have doctors with better medical skills take over the treatment, Xiao Xiao will indeed be able to wake up earlier and his injuries will heal faster." Old Liu Tou paused. He continued to look for something, "For example, Dr. Wu in the city. If you go to him to treat Xiaoxiao, he will get better much faster."
As if he had guessed what he was thinking, Bai Gu was startled, and then asked quickly: "Is it true?"
"The medicine used is good and expensive, and the injury will heal quickly. If I go to Dr. Wu's place, it's actually not bad, and it won't be any faster." Old Liu immediately poured down a basin of cold water on his head.
But this is also true.
Old Liu Tou treats people for free, and he is alone. He is getting older, and naturally he does not collect so many medicines. They are not so good, and the efficacy of the medicines is not high.
On the other hand, the Cheung Chau Pharmacy where Mr. Wu worked had a big business and a large number of people. It's also the largest pharmacy in the city. People come and go every day, the demand is great, there are many demands, and the competition is fierce, so naturally there are more and better medicines prepared.
Of course, the treatment environment is much better.
Bai Gu lowered his head, "I will find a solution regarding the money."
Old Liu Tou snorted coldly, "Do you know how much money it will cost? Just think of a way."
"That……"
"I'll take care of the money issue!"
