When Zhao Xiaonian thought of how Liu Changsong and Jiang Dazhuang had taken care of him at the mine, his eyes involuntarily reddened. "It was all because of me that Uncle Liu died, and Uncle Jiang was injured because of me."
Why did all the people who were good to him end up like this?
One died tragically in the dense forest, the other was bedridden and seriously injured, yet he was still perfectly fine.
He was really well protected by Uncle Jiang and Uncle Liu.
Jiang Yimian could only bend down helplessly and said with a smile, "Don't think too highly of yourself. My father was injured because of those people on the mountain. What does it have to do with you?"
If you insist on taking the blame, does that mean everyone else got beaten up because of you?
As for Uncle Liu, he is alive and well. If he hadn't escaped from the mine, we would never have known it existed. When I get back, I will tell him about what happened at the mine.
You don't need to worry about him not being able to see you.
If Liu Changsong knew that the mine was gone and that his father and Zhao Xiaonian were alright, he would probably be happy, and perhaps he wouldn't go crazy from fear anymore.
From now on, everyone can start over and live a good life.
Zhao Xiaonian was stunned, his eyes widening in disbelief as he asked, "You're not lying to me? Is Uncle Liu really alright?"
Even though everyone on the mountain said that Uncle Liu had died and that his death was gruesome, he believed it and was saddened for a long time, never daring to tell Uncle Jiang.
Jiang Yimian glanced at him and said indifferently, "Why would I lie to you? If we hadn't gotten the information from Uncle Liu, why would we have suddenly come to the mine?"
If you don't believe me, you can ask the people on the mountain. They made up this lie just to keep you from running away.
You usually seem quite smart, so how come you become so stupid in crucial moments? Like that time in the cave, trying to stop people could have been a death sentence.
The thought of Zhao Xiaonian grabbing the man with the big knife around the waist so that Wang Jinbao could carry Jiang Dazhuang away in the cave last time made her heart pound with fear.
If she had been even a fraction later, that broadsword would have been aimed at his neck.
Zhao Xiaonian wiped the tears from his face, snorted, and said irritably, "Who's stupid? I've always been smart, so stop talking nonsense."
"If it weren't for the fact that you saved me and Uncle Jiang yesterday, I wouldn't even acknowledge you, hmph."
Jiang Yimian ignored him and went straight into the house. She carefully checked Jiang Dazhuang's injuries before feeling relieved.
Zhao Xiaonian seemed careless, but he was actually very meticulous. He not only changed Jiang Dazhuang's dressing and gauze, but also wiped his body and changed his clothes.
Zhao Xiaonian stood at the door and said indifferently, "Don't worry, you don't need to worry about this place. I'm here. Leave the task of changing Uncle Jiang's dressing to me. You should go and check on the miners who were rescued."
He was also helping out in the front hall yesterday, so he knew how badly those people were injured. They were all carried down the mountain covered in blood; it was a terrible sight.
Although I've seen them before, seeing so many at once this time was still a bit nerve-wracking.
Fortunately, those doctors were quite skilled and managed to stop the bleeding for most of them, saving their lives.
Jiang Yimian just smiled and said, "Thank you so much."
She did need to check on the other wounded later, and it would be good if Zhao Xiaonian could help out here. She was afraid that if Jiang Dazhuang woke up, she wouldn't know how to face him.
Zhao Xiaonian just nodded, then, thinking of something, asked curiously, "The person who was with you yesterday was so badly injured, how come I heard they went up the mountain? They really don't value their lives."
He thought those people were joking until he heard Song Er and the others say that it was just a common occurrence, and then he realized that it might be true.
He saw the other person carried down the mountain covered in blood yesterday; he should have been bedridden for at least three or four days before he could barely get out of bed. But that person was different; he got out of bed the very next day and even went up the mountain. He's really something else.
Jiang Yimian silently agreed in her heart. Yes, Lu Cijian really didn't take his body seriously. He was so badly injured, yet he still dared to run around. When he came back, she would definitely teach him a lesson.
Lu Cijian, who was about to be reprimanded, was frowning as he looked at the collapsed cave in front of him and asked, "Didn't they dig anything out?"
He heard early this morning that someone had discovered a hidden cave on the mountain, so he immediately went up the mountain.
To everyone's surprise, after digging all morning, they found nothing.
Song Er nervously scratched his head and hurriedly said respectfully, "It was my incompetence that I failed to capture that masked man yesterday."
The incident happened suddenly. As soon as the masked man came out, he threw a hidden weapon at them. Just as they dodged it, a huge explosion occurred in the cave, causing the ground to tremble violently.
To avoid the aftershocks of the collapse, they had no choice but to lie down on the ground.
Unexpectedly, the masked man escaped.
Lu Cijian simply said, "I never expected you to be able to keep him."
That person was highly skilled in martial arts; even he and Mianmian could barely hold him off, let alone Song Er and his group.
After the cave collapsed, the man would naturally flee quickly and wouldn't get entangled with Song Er and the others. It's just unknown whether this matter has anything to do with the King of Chu.
Pingjiang County was an independent county, not subject to the constraints of the surrounding prefectural cities, and directly governed by the capital.
However, its distance from the capital city has actually brought Pingjiang County a lot of convenience.
If it really was the territory of the King of Chu, although they didn't catch anyone this time, they did uncover a secret that the King of Chu had buried for many years, thus resolving this hidden danger. So it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Just then, Wang San suddenly said, "Young Master, Miss Jiang has woken up."
Lu Cijian was taken aback, and after a while, he pretended to be calm and said, "Song Er, continue to lead people to search the mountain and see if you can find anything useful."
After saying that, he quickly started walking down the mountain, looking somewhat anxious.
Upon seeing this, Wang San was surprised and quickly followed.
How could he sense the young master's eagerness from his footsteps?
After walking a distance, Lu Cijian asked, "When did Mianmian wake up? What is she doing now?"
Wang San thought for a moment before saying, "He's been awake for about an hour. He should be in the backyard with Young Master Lin right now."
Lin Yan'an didn't stop walking, only giving a curt "hmm".
Wang San, who was standing to the side, felt the air pressure around him drop a bit. He forced himself to ask, "Young Master, are you going to see Miss Jiang?"
Lu Cijian simply said, "No need. I'll go to the study first and report everything you've asked me."
Wang San was taken aback, and after a while he finally said "Oh," feeling puzzled.
I just told him to let me know as soon as Miss Jiang woke up, and I also told Xiao Qi to prepare hot water, clothes, and food. Why is he now going to the study after waking up? I really don't understand!
His young master's feelings are truly unfathomable.
