738 Cannot Leave Someone in the Lurch
Qiao Mei panted heavily as she ran back. Seeing that Qiao Fu was about to kill Qiao Qiang, Qiao Mei mobilized all the energy in her body and snapped the big tree behind Qiao Qiang in half before throwing it towards Qiao Fu.
Just as Qiao Fu was about to make a move, he suddenly saw the big tree in front of him slowly smashing towards him. He hurriedly threw down the stone and fled in a panic. There were many vines and gravel nearby and he could not dodge in time. Qiao Mei controlled the vines on the ground to trip Qiao Fu and the big tree smashed down onto his thighs.
Qiao Qiang remained unscathed under the tree.
He sat in the gap between the fallen tree and the tree stump and watched Qiao Fu groan in pain as he lay on the ground.
The tree was so thick that even two people hugging it could not touch each other’s hands. How could such a thick tree trunk break for no reason?
“Grandfather! Grandfather!” Qiao Mei hurriedly ran to the tree and pulled Qiao Qiang out.
By this time, Qiao Qiang was already very weak. The wound on his head was as long as a finger and the left side of his face was already covered in blood.
“Grandfather… grandfather, don’t scare me… grandfather, look at me…” Qiao Mei’s eyes were instantly filled with tears. She did not expect Qiao Qiang to be attacked after she left for just a short while.
She should have paid more attention when Jiang Ye reminded her to be careful yesterday!
She had been too obnoxious and felt that she could do anything with her ability. She did not guard against the possibility of Qiao Zhuang’s family wanting to kill her and Qiao Qiang.
This was also a warning about Qiao Zhuang’s family. She had thought that they would at most be shameless and do something sneaky. She did not expect them to be capable of murder. She must make Qiao Fu pay the price!
“Mei Mei, I’m fine. Don’t cry anymore. If you continue crying, your little face won’t be beautiful anymore,” Qiao Qiang said with a weak smile.
Even though he was seriously injured, he still forced a smile as he did not want Qiao Mei to worry. The front of his clothes was already soaked in blood.
Even a young man in his prime would be very weak after losing so much blood, let alone someone of Qiao Qiang’s age. His health was originally already in bad shape.
Qiao Mei hurriedly took out the 1,000-year-old ginseng juice that she had made some time ago. Of course, the human body could not absorb it in its concentrated form. Qiao Mei found a small stream nearby. The water here was from the mountain springs and it was natural and safe. They could drink the water directly from the stream.
She soaked the small handkerchief in the stream and secretly dripped the 1,000-year-old ginseng juice on it. She squeezed the handkerchief and spread the ginseng juice more evenly around. After doing all this, she hurriedly ran back and gently wiped Qiao Qiang’s wound.
The small handkerchief covered the wound on Qiao Qiang’s forehead and the bleeding quickly stopped. With such a serious injury, he had to go to the clinic for stitches. Her 1,000-year-old ginseng juice could only stop Qiao Qiang from continuing to bleed.
“Grandfather, how do you feel? Does it hurt anywhere else?” Qiao Mei asked anxiously.
Qiao Qiang moved his body slightly and said in pain, “Sigh… I’m old and useless. My ribs on the right side seem to be broken. It should be fine though.”
Qiao Mei helped Qiao Qiang up and prepared to leave this place. She wanted to bring him to the clinic for treatment quickly. If his ribs were broken, it was very likely that his internal organs would be injured. If they were not careful about it, he could die. She could not let her guard down. If there was really no other way, she would bring Qiao Qiang back to the capital tonight and go to the best hospital in the capital for treatment.
“Mei Mei, go and see how he’s doing,” Qiao Qiang said as he pointed at Qiao Fu, who was pressed down by the big tree. If he died in the mountains, it would be difficult for them to explain themselves.
Qiao Mei did not want to look at Qiao Fu at all. If her grandfather really died at Qiao Fu’s hands today, she would not be able to extinguish the hatred in her heart even if Qiao Zhuang’s whole family paid for it with their lives.
“Grandfather, you should be more concerned about yourself. Your injuries were caused by him, yet you still have the mood to care about him!” Qiao Mei said aggrievedly.
Qiao Qiang knew that Qiao Mei was concerned about him, but this was a matter of life and death and he had to ensure that the man was still alive.
“Go quickly. Go and see if he’s still breathing. He wants to kill us, but we can’t really leave him in the lurch. Do you understand?” Qiao Qiang said patiently.
Qiao Mei could not argue against Qiao Qiang and went forward to check if Qiao Fu was still breathing.
Qiao Fu was seriously injured, but Qiao Mei did not go all the way just now. If such a big tree hit Qiao Fu’s head, he would really be dead by now.
