Chapter 235: Deja Vu



"Xiaokang, Xiaokang, wake up quickly, nothing can happen to you..." Tian An kept talking to him while giving him first aid.

At this time, the person who had just shot the arrow also came to them, but Tian An was busy saving Xiaokang and had no time to look.

I only heard the person coming shout, "Stop right there."

In an instant, the chaotic surroundings suddenly became quiet, with only Tian An calling Xiaokang's name.

"Xiaokang, Xiaokang, you have to be strong and hold on! Didn't you say you haven't eaten candied haws for a long time? Wake up and let's go buy some candied haws!" Tian An was so anxious that tears came out.

Zhao Yiming also came to the two of them and reached out to hold Xiaokang's hand. "You little bastard, be a real man. It's just a little injury, right? Show some courage and don't make An'an sad."

After a while, with Tian An's continuous efforts.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Xiaokang coughed twice, his respiratory tract was cleared, and he finally opened his eyes.

Tian An hugged him in fear and said, "You scared me to death."

Xiaokang was naturally happy to see Tian An, but suddenly he thought of something, his face changed, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Sister, Xiaoqi."

When Tian An heard this, he hurriedly handed Xiaokang to Zhao Yiming and ran towards Xiaoqi. He ran so fast that he fell when he was almost there.

But she didn't care at all. She got up and quickly hugged Xiaoqi to check him.

Fortunately, Xiao Qi's injuries were not serious, except for the heavy kick that knocked him unconscious, and the rest were just scratches from landing on the ground.

Tian An took out the silver needles and quickly began to give him acupuncture. Although the light was poor, she had already memorized the locations of the acupuncture points and practiced the techniques thousands of times. Even with her eyes closed, she would not make a mistake.

A quarter of an hour later, Tian An stopped the acupuncture.

After a long while, Xiaoqi slowly opened her eyes.

Although he had known that he would be fine, Tian An was finally relieved when he saw him open his eyes.

"Sister, are you okay? Are the bad guys gone?" Xiao Qi trembled as she woke up and hugged Tian An, obviously terrified.

Tian An hugged him back and comforted him carefully: "Sister is fine."

As for the bad guys. After making sure that his two younger brothers were fine, Tian An finally had time to take care of the current situation.

No wonder he could shoot the strong man's hand with one arrow in such dim light, and make everyone who was fighting stop with just one sentence. It turns out that he is a general.

Perhaps because Tian An was rescuing her two younger brothers, the general did not disturb them, but just asked his soldiers to control everyone.

Seeing that both children had woken up, he went forward to ask them in person.

Seeing the general walking towards Tian An, Zhao Yiming came to Tian An with Xiaokang in his arms. Although his defensive intentions were obvious, the general did not blame him.

Instead, he stopped and asked, "Why are you guys fighting together?"

Xiao Qi said hurriedly: "What we didn't want was that they wanted to steal our food, children, and aunts. Our uncles and brothers fought with them to protect us."

Xiaokang also said in a hoarse voice: "They injured many of our brothers and uncles." He pointed at the strong man who was trembling in pain but dared not say a word and said: "I thought he had beaten Xiaoqi to death, so I bit him. He then choked me and I almost died."

As the little fellow spoke, he shook his body in fear, and his eyes were filled with tears that seemed about to fall, and it was obvious that he was very scared.

When the general on the opposite side saw him like this, he was inexplicably tempted to reach out and hug him.

This wave of operations made everyone look confused, and the soldiers under the general looked like they had seen a ghost.

The general reacted and felt a little embarrassed. He was about to withdraw his hand, but Xiaokang unexpectedly stretched out his hands towards him.

Zhao Yiming was stunned and looked at Tian An. Seeing that she didn't stop him, he handed Xiaokang to him.

Holding Xiaokang in his arms, General felt that everything missing in his heart had returned. He felt warm all over and smiled like a fool.

The general's subordinates beside him slapped their heads and walked forward helplessly. Their general was unreliable, but they still had to do what they had to do.

"Who are you, where are you from, where are you going, and what are you going to do?" the general's subordinates asked in a businesslike manner.

"Zhao Yiming from Shangba Village, Changhe Town, Jinning County, Ming'an Prefecture, went to Songshan Academy in Beijing to study." Zhao Yiming replied.

The general's men were startled. "Do you have any proof?"

Zhao Yiming looked at Tian An. Tian An quickly withdrew his gaze from Xiaokang and the general.

He immediately took out from his bag Zhao Yiming's scholar identity card, pass and letter of introduction written by Magistrate Gu.

"It turns out to be Mr. Zhao!" After the general's men looked at it, they returned the thing to Tian An with both hands.

He then pointed at Qiu Shan, Deng Yuan and the others behind him and asked, "Are they in the same group as you?"

Zhao Yiming nodded, "Exactly."

"You're bringing so many people with you to study?" The general's men were shocked.

"My hometown was in trouble, so I brought everyone out," Zhao Yiming explained.

The general's men then remembered that the purpose of their trip was to provide disaster relief.

On this side, Zhao Yiming was a scholar, had a travel permit and a letter of recommendation, and was leading his fellow villagers to escape, making him a good person at first glance. On the other hand, the scarred men all looked ferocious and carried professional weapons, making it clear who was right and who was wrong.

You basically don't need to ask to know what's going on.

After the general's men had figured out what was going on, they called out to the general, asking him to return the doll. They still had official duties to perform! These villains were so well-equipped, they were no ordinary villains.

The general reluctantly returned Xiaokang to Zhao Yiming, "Little guy, uncle will come play with you next time!"

"Take care, uncle." Xiaokang said politely.

The general took Scar Man and his men as well as their horses away. Before leaving, he looked at Zhao Yiming and his men, all covered in wounds, and asked his men to give them some medicine.

They also had the scarred man and his men take away their belongings, claiming it was for their medical expenses. All in all, they had about twenty or thirty taels of silver.

But this amount of silver is not enough to compensate them. Wounds can heal, but scars are not easy to heal.

Tian An watched the general walk away, and he felt a sense of déjà vu. But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yiming looked at Tian An in confusion.

"Nothing." Never mind, maybe it was because it was too dark and she was seeing things wrong. It was her first time in this place, how could she possibly know him?

Tian An turned around and started helping everyone treat their wounds.

However, she never expected that she actually knew the general, and not only her, but all the older people in the village knew him.

Unfortunately, the general was a little far away from the crowd, and it was dark, so no one in the village could see his face clearly.
