Chapter 119 If You Can’t Beat Me, I’ll Still Be There



"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

Gu Huai fended off the enemy while moving closer towards Xie Yunjiao.

Xie Yunjiao also moved towards him.

When the two of them leaned against each other tightly with their backs against each other, Gu Huai's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally slowly settled down.

"Be careful when you're behind me. If you can't beat me, I'm still here for you," said Gu Huai.

Xie Yunjiao responded while kicking away the person who attacked her.

By the time Ding Hu brought his men over, many people had already fallen around Xie Yunjiao and Gu Huai.

Ding Hu looked at Xie Yunjiao and Gu Huai in surprise. He couldn't believe that there were such powerful people among ordinary people.

No wonder Qiangzi was defeated by the skinny Doudou.

"Don't worry, we have captured the rest of the gang members and rescued the hostages," said Ding Hu.

"Has the guy called Mr. Kun been caught?" Gu Huai asked.

Mr. Kun is the leader among these people, we can’t do without him!

"No, there is no one called Mr. Kun there." Ding Hu said.

Gu Huai's expression changed: "It seems that he escaped."

Gu Huai thought of something and said, "There's also the owner of the Sixi Pawnshop. I tied him up in the woodshed. He should know something too."

"The fire broke out there. When we went to put out the fire, we found out that this part was also on fire." Ding Hu said.

It’s almost the New Year and this kind of thing happened. It’s so annoying.

The Chinese New Year is tomorrow, and they don't want to spend a reunion day like New Year's Eve while trying a prisoner.

"You are injured, go see a doctor, we will take care of the rest." Ding Hu said.

"I suspect this matter is related to the Sixi Casino..."

Before Gu Huai could finish his words, Ding Hu interrupted him: "This is a matter for our government, we will handle it. You have no evidence to back up your suspicions, so you have to investigate them? It's New Year's Day, how unlucky."

Ding Hu had a grudge against Xie Yunjiao, so he spoke in a very impatient tone.

"Forget it, we have already saved the person and we have no business to worry about the rest." Xie Yunjiao looked at Gu Huai's bleeding shoulder. She felt that the most urgent thing was to take Gu Huai back to bandage his wound.

Gu Huai glanced at Ding Hu indifferently, then left with Xie Yunjiao.

Many of those arrested were allowed to leave after registering their names and addresses.

Zhou Jinhai was still waiting outside for Gu Huai and Xie Yunjiao, holding a child in his arms.

Seeing Gu Huai and Xie Yunjiao coming out, Zhou Jinhai happily greeted them: "Gu Huai, sister-in-law."

Xie Yunjiao was stunned when she saw the child in Zhou Jinhai's arms: "Is it him?"

"Do you know him?" Gu Huai asked.

"We met once. He helped me get back my stolen knapsack." Xie Yunjiao said.

Later, after the government cleared a group of refugees out of the city, she never saw the child again.

I didn't expect to see that child at a time like this.

"I heard that the refugees in the City God Temple were also captured by these people. Now it's almost the end of the year, and they can't find anyone, so they attacked us." Zhou Jinhai said angrily.

At that time, the pawnshop owner and others thought that he had passed out after drinking the knockout drug. In fact, he was pretending to be dead, but he remembered everything they said.

However, his hands and feet were tied tightly, so he couldn't escape.

"Let's go home. My sister-in-law must be very worried at home." Xie Yunjiao said. She glanced at the child again. He was running a fever and looked very ill. "Let's take the child home. We'll make plans after he wakes up."

"Let's take him to see a doctor first." Gu Huai said.

The child looked seriously ill and he was afraid that the child would not survive the New Year.

Xie Yunjiao naturally agreed. Although she had studied medicine with Ye Baien for a period of time and had mastered a lot, she was still not sure about how to treat the child's illness.

He had a fever and a rash on his body. She had all kinds of guesses in her mind, but after taking his pulse she couldn't figure out what kind of illness he had.

The sky was turning pale and there were few pedestrians on the road. Normally, there would be many people on the street at this time.

As soon as Xie Yunjiao felt a hint of doubt in her mind, she remembered that today was New Year's Eve, so it was normal that there were not many people on the road.

Gu Huai and Xie Yunjiao took the child to several clinics, but none of them were open.

Today is New Year's Eve. No one wants to be sick into the new year, so no one will come to the clinic for treatment, so the clinic will not be open during these few days.

"What should we do?" Gu Huai looked at the child in his arms worriedly, his expression seemed to be getting uglier and uglier.

"Let him drink some water first. His face is so red and his lips look like they're burnt dry."

Xie Yunjiao took the opportunity to ask for water, but in fact she secretly transferred the water in the space into her bamboo tube.

Gu Huai had no other choice but to try his luck.

He fed the child water. When he took the first sip, the child didn't even open his mouth, and the pure spiritual spring water flowed down his mouth.

Xie Yunjiao felt heartbroken when she saw the good spiritual spring water being wasted.

She usually doesn't want to drink more of this spiritual spring water, so it's just wasted like this!

But she didn't mean to blame the child, after all, he didn't mean it.

Xie Yunjiao tried to pry his mouth open, but it was tightly shut and could not be opened at all.

She didn't dare use too much force for fear of hurting the child.

"thirsty……"

The child suddenly cried out in a hoarse voice.

Xie Yunjiao looked at the child in surprise. It seemed that he still had some consciousness.

"If you're thirsty, drink some water. I'll feed you slowly, and you drink slowly."

As if hearing Xie Yunjiao's words, the child slowly opened his mouth. Xie Yunjiao carefully brought the bamboo tube closer and tilted it slowly.

The child really started drinking slowly, and after a while he slowly stopped.

But he seemed too tired and kept his eyes closed. He seemed to fall asleep after drinking the water.

Gu Huai and Xie Yunjiao both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since we can't find an open clinic, let's go back first. I'm worried about Doudou being home alone." Xie Yunjiao said.

The spiritual spring water has the effect of curing diseases. Since he has drunk so much of it, he should get better slowly.

Gu Huai and Xie Yunjiao wanted to take the ox cart back, but Uncle Niu didn't come to pick up any passengers today. They had no choice but to walk back.

Xie Yunjiao was afraid that Gu Huai would get tired holding the child, so she asked Gu Huai to let her hold the child.

But Gu Huai refused. He said that he had brought wild boars weighing hundreds of kilograms to the town to sell them before and it was no problem. It was just a child weighing dozens of kilograms, so it was no problem.

"But you are injured now." Xie Yunjiao said with concern.

"It's just a minor injury." Gu Huai said with a smile.

In fact, his injured shoulder was still quite painful, but he didn't want Xie Yunjiao to get tired, so he kept holding the child by himself.

When I returned to the village, there were sounds of firecrackers and billowing smoke everywhere, and it was very lively.

No matter how poor you are, you must celebrate the New Year.

Those who have more money at home will set off more strings of firecrackers, while those who are short of money will just set off one string as a token of their appreciation.

Seeing every household setting off firecrackers and the ground covered with red paper, Xie Yunjiao remembered that she had not prepared any firecrackers at all.
