Land Officer Yang felt relieved upon hearing this.
He gave Yang Dachuan a few more instructions before heading home, telling him to seek him out or send Yang Dayong if there was any issue. As for Yang Xiaochuan and his wife, their goals unachieved, slunk back to their own home, while Yang Da’an and his wife first went to check on Old Yang before returning home.
Now, looking at Yang Da’an, it seemed he had more conscience than Yang Xiaochuan, at least he knew to visit Old Yang every day. Yang Xiaochuan only visited on the first day and never again after that. And look at him today, running away as fast as a rabbit. How could he be expected to take care of Old Yang?
After these people left, in the afternoon, Yang Dachuan had someone call for a shaman to come and perform a ritual the next day.
By the afternoon, the two Mu brothers had also awakened.
Mu Shaoling was the first to visit Luo Linhao, only to find that Yang Chuxia was also there.
She had been busy these past few days and hadn’t had the chance to ask about Linhao’s eyes, so she came to check on him in the afternoon.
"How many days before it can be unwrapped?" Yang Chuxia asked as he approached.
Luo Linhao, sitting on the bed, also looked towards Mu Shaoling upon hearing this.
"It needs a full month before it can be unwrapped. The wound must heal completely," Mu Shaoling said after taking Linhao’s pulse.
Upon hearing it would take a month, Luo Linhao exclaimed, "Why so long? I want to get better sooner."
"A few days earlier or later doesn’t make a difference to you," Mu Shaoling replied impatiently.
"Of course it’s different," Luo Linhao said, "Once I’m healed, I can go outside. I want to help my cousin’s wife beat the bad guys. I heard her family suffered a lot this time. If those bastards dare to come again, I’ll kill them."
Luo Linhao had also heard about the Yang Family’s troubles, and speaking of it now, he inevitably clenched his fists so tight they cracked. Those bastards really went too far.
"Pfft, you just focus on healing for now. Once you’re healed, train well in martial arts, then you can talk tough," Yang Chuxia laughed.
After chatting with Luo Linhao for a while, and seeing that he had taken his medicine, Yang Chuxia and Mu Shaoling left together.
Once they had left the West Crossing Courtyard, Yang Chuxia suddenly remembered something.
"Mu Shaoling, you should check the people around you," she said.
"Think about it. The Li Family came to capture you, aiming for the eye cure. But how did they know you found a treatment for eye diseases? How did they know which day you were treating Linhao’s eyes? And how did they know you were at the Yang Family’s place?" This issue had been overlooked by them.
Now, upon careful consideration, many aspects of the case seemed suspicious. Whoever knew Mu Shaoling’s movements so well must have been someone close to him. In retrospect, either someone had infiltrated Mu Shaoling’s circle, or his people had been bought off.
Mu Shaoling’s expression changed upon hearing this, and then he left. He did not return until it was almost dawn.
The next day, when Yang Chuxia saw him, she noticed his eyes were bloodshot, he looked extremely fatigued, and he bore a hint of sorrow.
"Why do you look like a ghost? Didn’t sleep again last night?"
"Xiaxia, if I can’t cure Linhao’s eyes, I’ll owe the Luo Family for life," Mu Shaoling said with a somber voice.
"What brought that on?"
Mu Shaoling glanced at the two maids standing beside Yang Chuxia. Seeing this, she waved her hand to have the two maids stand outside the door. The door, however, remained open, with a clear view inside the room from outside.
At this moment, Mu Shaoling could no longer afford to think about such matters and began to narrate his thoughts slowly as if unburdening his soul.
