Chapter 178 Seizing the Opportunity
They were almost at Lijia Village, but the Duke's wife had not shown up yet, and Ye Caiping couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
"Help - help -" At this time, a scream rang out.
Suddenly, a carriage appeared from a small fork in the road not far ahead.
The carriage was driverless and was running wildly. A woman stuck her head out of the window and kept calling for help.
Here we come!
"Ouch!" Ye Daquan was startled and quickly stopped the cow.
"Brother, give me the whip." Ye Caiping snatched the whip from Ye Daquan's hand and jumped off the ox cart.
Just as the carriage passed by, Ye Caiping whipped the horse.
The horse was frightened and immediately turned in another direction, finally crashing into a haystack not far away.
The horse fell to the ground, struggled continuously, and finally broke free from the reins and ran away.
The carriage was on its side, with its wheels still spinning.
Ye Caiping ran over quickly: "Big sister, are you okay?"
A round-faced woman in her forties climbed out of the car and said anxiously, "Quick, save our lady... wuwu..."
"Sister, don't cry, let's help the person out first." Ye Caiping said.
When Ye Daquan heard that it was a woman, it was difficult to help, so he stood aside in panic.
Ye Caiping and Nanny Yu worked together to drag the woman in gorgeous clothes out.
The woman was nearly forty years old, dressed luxuriously, and looked dignified and beautiful. Unfortunately, she was in a coma. When Ye Caiping touched her back, she was bleeding.
Ye Caiping's eyes flickered slightly, she knew that this was the wife of Duke Pingguo.
He also knew how the other party was injured, but he exclaimed in surprise: "Ah, how did he get injured? Quick, send him to the town clinic."
Yu Ma's face changed: "No, no, there are thieves over there who want to kill my wife. Young lady, please be kind and find a place for us to stay."
Ye Caiping said: "Then...why not hide in my house first!"
Nanny Yu was full of gratitude: "Okay, thank you, young lady."
"Brother, come and lend a hand."
The three of them worked together to lift the wife of Duke Ping onto the ox cart. Ye Caiping then ran to the haystack and pulled some of the hay down to cover the carriage.
After getting in the car, Ye Caiping took off her coat and covered the wife of Duke Pingguo.
The ox cart started and slowly moved away.
At this moment, Ye Caiping was stunned.
I saw Li Jiaojiao running towards me from the direction of the town.
When Li Jiaojiao saw Ye Caiping’s ox cart not far away, she was also stunned and stopped.
When she saw the messy tire tracks on the ground, for some reason, Li Jiaojiao felt as if her brain had been hit hard and a piece of her heart had been dug out.
The ox cart that was getting farther and farther away seemed like some treasure that originally belonged to her was gradually going away.
Ye Caiping looked at Li Jiaojiao who was standing there in the distance, her eyes slightly cold: "Brother, hurry up."
Ye Daquan responded, and the pace of the ox cart quickened.
"Wait a minute..." Li Jiaojiao was about to chase when her hand was suddenly grabbed.
"Jiaojiao?" Li Zimo said angrily, "Why did you suddenly run away just now? That's five taels of silver! If you didn't run away, we would have gotten it all."
He still had confidence if he could eat one bowl, but if he ate two bowls, he would not die of overeating.
Seeing that Li Jiaojiao was about to chase the ox cart, Li Zimo angrily asked, "What are you doing?"
"I..." Li Jiaojiao didn't know what she wanted to do. "I just thought that I should catch up with that car... I..."
"Isn't that Ye's car?" Li Zimo said unhappily, "What's wrong with you? You always do things for no apparent reason... Last time you were cheated out of two hundred taels. What do you want to do now?"
Li Jiaojiao looked at him with grievance and anger:
"What do you mean? I was like this before, and in the end I pulled you and mother out of the hell. I just made a mistake once, and it's a capital crime? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have the chance to stand here, and you would have died long ago!"
Li Zimo's face was grim: "That's not what I meant...it's just..."
"Hmph!" Li Jiaojiao shook off his hand.
When I looked up again, the shadow of the ox cart had disappeared.
Li Jiaojiao's heart suddenly felt empty.
…
Ye Caiping placed the wife of Duke Pingguo in the empty room next to Huan'er. This was the only empty room in the inner courtyard except for the back room.
When Old Lady Ye, Mrs. Du and others heard the noise, they all gathered outside.
After a while, Doctor Zhao arrived.
After looking at the wound, I found it was a knife wound, running from the left shoulder to the shoulder blade.
Doctor Zhao said that there was an extremely powerful knockout drug on the knife and that the man would be unconscious for at least a day or two before waking up.
After bandaging her wound, Doctor Zhao left.
In the room, Nanny Yu was filled with gratitude and bowed to Ye Caiping: "Thank you, young lady."
Ye Caiping quickly helped her up: "Don't be polite, big sister. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."
"I've been talking for so long, but I still don't know your last name, young lady."
"Your surname is Ye, and my given name is Caiping. You can just call me by my name, Big Sister."
"My last name is Yu, you can call me Yu Mama. The one inside is my master. We are from... Baizhou, we are businessmen, and we have a little money. Madam went to Anzhou to visit relatives, and when she passed by this place, she was targeted by some thieves."
"I chased them all the way and all the servants in my house ran away. Fortunately, I met Ye Niang, otherwise I don't know what to do."
The horse was frightened. If Ye Caiping hadn't stopped it in time, causing the crazy horse to crash into the haystack, the master and servant would most likely have died.
Ye Caiping nodded: "I see. Madam and Madam, just rest assured and recuperate here! It won't be too late to make plans after your injuries have healed."
Nanny Yu’s face was full of gratitude.
Ye Caiping left the room and closed the door.
At this time, Ye Jin'er and her sister, Ye Yong and others all came back. When they learned that two people had been rescued at home, they were very curious, but did not dare to ask more questions.
Ye Caiping left the room, and Old Lady Ye and Mrs. Du and the others quickly surrounded her: "Who are those two people?"
Ye Caiping said: "We met them on the way and took them home because they were injured."
Mrs. Du said, "Look at the clothes, they look like those of a rich family. How did he get hurt? Did he meet a bad guy?"
"They are merchants from Baizhou. They encountered bandits on the road and their servants ran away, so they were injured and ended up here," said Ye Caiping.
Old Lady Ye said, "No matter what, saving people is always a good thing. Let's treat them well! Old family, let's go to the kitchen and make some food."
After preparing the meal, Ye Caiping brought the simple meal to the side room.
The meal was ordinary, a plate of scrambled eggs, a small portion of steamed pork ribs, a vegetable dish and clear soup.
Nanny Yu was excited and also felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, I met such a rich farmer. If I were an ordinary villager, I would not even be able to afford to hire a doctor.
