It was dark and everyone in the alley had fallen asleep. No lights were on and it was silent.

Gu Jue did not return to the Marquis' Mansion, did not go to Lanxing, did not go anywhere, and just lay there for a long time without moving.

He didn't care about the injuries on his body, but just lay on the cold ground with his arms open, looking up at the sky with empty eyes.

It's very cold in January.

I don’t know when it started, but it suddenly started snowing heavily.

After a while, the white snow covered Gu Jue's entire body.

Although the wounds on his body were obviously severe, Gu Jue seemed not to feel them and turned a blind eye to the bleeding chest.

until,

There was the sound of wheels.

"Master, there seems to be a person lying on the road ahead." Two people dressed as servants were sitting in a shabby carriage, and one of them said to the people in the carriage in confusion.

"Stop." An old voice came from the dilapidated carriage.

"Yes, sir."

As the words fell, the carriage stopped not far from Gu Jue.

Gu Jue didn't move at all at the sudden sound, as if he was frozen by ice and snow.

Two people got off the carriage, a young servant and an elderly man.

The servant helped the old man out of the carriage, and the two went straight to Gu Jue's position.

Seeing a person lying on the snow covered by snow, the servant looked at the old man in surprise. "Master, this..."

The old man didn't say anything, but frowned slightly. He squatted down, reached out to brush away the snow on Gu Jue's face, and what came into view was an extremely pale face.

The servant beside him had a flash of surprise in his eyes, but when he saw the red bloodstains on the innermost layer of snow on Gu Jue's body, the surprise turned into horror, and he hurriedly helped the old man up and away from the person and bloodstains on the ground.

"Master, blood! There is blood on that man!"

The old man obviously saw it too, and was horrified, "Help me over."

The servant was obviously stunned for a moment, and then immediately said hurriedly, "Master, this person's identity is unknown. Let's go back home quickly. The lady is still waiting for you."

The old man waved his hand and said seriously: "It's okay, help me over."

Seeing that the old man still wanted to go over, the servant had no choice but to help him get closer.

This time, the old man squatted down and was about to put his finger under the nose of the person on the ground.

But suddenly I realized that the person's eyes were open, but because there was too much snow on his eyelashes, I couldn't tell whether his eyes were open or closed.

Seeing that the man's eyes were open, proving that he was not dead, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew his hand.

He asked, "Girl, can you still move? It's too cold and it's still snowing. You should go home early."

The old man recognized Gu Jue's gender at a glance.

But Gu Jue's eyes did not move, making the old man wonder if he was frozen.

There was no movement for a long time.

This time, the old man finally probed into Gu Jue's nose and felt a slight breath. The old man patted Gu Jue and said, "Girl, are you awake? The wound on your body is still bleeding. Girl, are you still awake?"

No matter what the old man said, no one responded.

Even the servants began to persuade him.

"Master, let's go. Since this man is still alive, let's not cause trouble. This man's identity is unknown. The lady and the young lady are still waiting. Let's go back to the mansion."

No matter how the servants tried to persuade him, the old man remained as undecided as a mountain.

"Girl, girl."

Seeing that there was still no reaction, the old man suddenly said seriously, "Miss, I'm sorry."

"Xiaoshu, lend a hand and help this girl onto the carriage."

The servant wanted to persuade him at first, but when he saw that the old man had already started to help the man, he stopped talking and helped the old man to help Gu Jue onto the carriage.

No one noticed that Gu Jue's eyes, which were originally slightly open, slowly closed.

Soon, the carriage stopped at a house.

"Master, what's going on?" The old woman was panicked when she saw the person the old man brought home.

"Madam, I met her on the road. It was freezing cold and snowing outside. She was lying on the ground, and the snow covered her. She had wounds on her body and was bleeding. If I didn't save her, she would not survive."

Several people worked together to carry Gu Jue into the room, leaving the old woman and a nanny to wipe Gu Jue's body and apply medicine.

Looking at the hole below Gu Jue's collarbone, the old woman sighed.

"Will this work? We still need to find a doctor. Although I applied the best hemostatic medicine and the golden wound medicine that my family once gave me, the girl is so badly injured that we must find a doctor."

"Yes, there is more than one wound. There are wounds of varying sizes on the arms and abdomen. Especially here on the abdomen, it is dark blue. I don't know what kind of torture he suffered?"

"Let's be careful and make sure we don't miss anything."

"Yes."

After giving Gu Jue a simple treatment, the two of them went out.

But the doctor was not called. It had been snowing heavily outside for a long time. Although servants were sent to find the doctor, the doctor did not come and the servants did not return for a long time.

After a long time, the servant returned, but the doctor was not following him.

"Master, Doctor Zeng has caught a cold and can't go out. Doctor Chen is old and his family won't let him go out."

The servant mentioned several doctors, but they were all unable to leave the house for various reasons.

The old man also understood that the roads outside were difficult to walk on in the heavy snow, and it was New Year's Day and at night, so it was normal not to want to go out.

So the old man didn't say much, but just stayed in the room with his daughter.
