Several people worked together to carry the person into the room where the brothers slept. Jiang Yu remained tense until he lay down and confirmed his safety, only then did he relax.

Su Guan was the last to enter the room, and he only saw a small, somewhat blurry figure. His eyes were in great discomfort, but he could still glimpse the person's snow-white skin, although their facial features were unclear.

Afterward, he completely fainted.

"Second brother, quickly write a prescription!"

Su Guan hurriedly brought paper and pen for Su Mu, feeling very anxious. However, Su Mu remained calm and composed, even making the prescription neat and beautiful.

"Hurry up, second brother!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? You must be serious about everything you do. Impatience won't get you anywhere. Like trying to eat hot tofu."

Su Mu had also noticed that there was something unusual about the relationship between this girl and the man called Jiang Yu, otherwise, why would they be so anxious about a stranger?

Finally, the prescription was completed, and Su Chen had already brought a horse over.

He had gone to Jiang's house and returned, saying that he needed the horse to go to the prefectural capital. Without a word, hunter Jiang lent him the horse.

"This is a precious sweat-blood horse. It can travel a thousand miles in a day. You must be careful!"

This sweat-blood horse was hunter Jiang's treasure, and he wouldn't have lent it to anyone else if it weren't for the fact that he had taught Su Chen for so many years.

Su Chen was an honest and diligent young man with exceptional martial arts aptitude. He was a promising disciple.

Su Guan handed him the prescription and told him to take good care of it.

"Third brother, you must return with the medicine within five and a half hours. A life depends on it. Don't be careless!"

It seemed like an urgent matter, so Su Chen didn't ask any further questions. He took the prescription, mounted the horse, and immediately headed toward the prefectural capital.

Watching his departing figure, Su Guan took a deep breath. Jiang Yu was the second male lead in the original story, and in the book, he survived this ordeal. This time should be no different.

However, the person saving him had changed from Gu Yue to her.

By saving Jiang Yu this time, he would owe her a favor. In the future, it would give her an advantage, especially if things followed the original story, and she didn't receive full recognition. This might be a lifesaver.

When Gu Yue was seriously ill in the past, Su Mu had only recently started studying medicine and couldn't be of much help. Now, they kept some common herbs at home because there were many people in the house, and people couldn't avoid getting sick. It was also to be prepared for unexpected situations.

There are many herbs for stopping bleeding, and they are quite common. Su Mu helped Jiang Yu clean his wounds alone, grinding dried herbs into powder and sprinkling it on his wounds to stop the bleeding.

He also had Su Yun prepare a traditional Chinese medicine decoction for him, which he would take later.

Today was hot, and if the wounds weren't treated promptly, they could easily become infected.

He had thirteen sword wounds of various depths and sizes all over his body, but the most severe ones were on his back.

The most serious issue was that he had been poisoned. While external injuries could heal, if the poison wasn't treated, it could be fatal.

During this time, the others couldn't do much to help. Su Jing, Su Yi, and Su Guan were waiting outside.

Su Jing finally found the opportunity to ask Su Guan for the reason.

"Guan Guan, where did you find this person? His injuries are so severe, and he's poisoned. Judging from his attire and demeanor, he's definitely not an ordinary person. Did you consider whether he has enemies?

If they come looking for revenge, what should we do?"

"We found him at the entrance of the village in the Earth God Temple. When we brought him back, we specifically took the back mountain route, so no one saw us bring him in. There's no need to worry for now," Su Guan replied truthfully.

"But our family is already in a difficult situation, and we have debts to pay. Now, we have an injured person to take care of, with expenses for food, medicine, and medical treatment. It's a burden."

"Don't worry, big brother. We're not doing this for nothing. He will pay for the medical expenses later, and he even pawned this jade pendant to us. Look, the quality of this jade is extremely good, worth a fortune. We won't lose out!" Su Guan took out the jade pendant that Jiang Yu had given her and showed it to Su Jing.

Su Jing looked at her and shook his head helplessly. "Such a valuable item, you shouldn't just accept it casually. Well, it's too late now. We've already brought him here. Can I really chase away a dying man? I don't expect him to repay us in the future, but I hope he won't bring trouble to our family. Let's consider it an act of accumulating virtue."

Su Jing's character in the original story was upright and principled. He could discern right from wrong, even if it meant acknowledging his own sister's mistakes. He would never engage in favoritism.

Su Guan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the next words from Su Yi made her tense up again.

"This man has an extraordinary demeanor. Seeing how concerned little sister Guan Guan is about his safety, could it be that you two know each other?"

"Is this man extraordinary? Seeing Guan Guan's concern for his safety, do you two know each other?"

Su Yi is always Su Yi, asking questions that are sharp and hard to guard against.

"Uh... I know him, but he doesn't know me, does that count as knowing each other?"

She didn't say anything wrong, that's how it is.

With Su Guan saying this, the two brothers each began to imagine, and their thoughts coincided.

In our family, we have a growing daughter. At the age of thirteen, it's time to make a marriage arrangement. It's normal for her to have a budding love and admiration for a handsome man who looks like a god descended from heaven.

"You, I really can't do anything with you!" Su Jing shook his head helplessly.

Su Mu noticed that Jiang Yu's eyes were injured by lime, so she cleaned it for him with a cloth, brewed a mild medicine, washed it again for him, and then applied medicine and covered it with a black cloth.

His eyes couldn't be exposed to light for the time being, so they had to be covered.

The external injuries had been treated, but he had lost a lot of blood and was now very weak, barely hanging on.

On Su Chen's side, he had a good horse that was much faster than an ordinary horse. If he didn't delay, he should be able to fetch the medicine and return within five and a half hours.

Su Guan was anxious on her side, but all she could do was worry. She started making pig lard and grinding dry flowers for coloring.

Less than two hours after treating the wound, Jiang Yu began to have a fever, and his high temperature didn't go down. His forehead was so hot that it could fry an egg.

Su Mu started making fever-reducing medicine again, and the whole Su family's courtyard was filled with a strong smell of meat mixed with the scent of medicine.
