In this conflict with Scar Man and his men, Zhao Yiming was the most seriously injured. There was a huge and hideous wound on his arm, and Tian An had to give him more than a dozen stitches.
Next was Chen Feng. He was kicked by the scarred man and then bumped into a tree behind him. His bones were dislocated, but fortunately, his internal organs were not damaged. However, he could not do any heavy work for half a month.
The rest of the people had only minor injuries. Tian An treated them before taking them to find the women and children.
When they arrived, everyone was anxiously looking for Xiaokang and Xiaoqi, and they were relieved to see them with Tian An.
"You two kids, you didn't even tell me where you were going. It scared me to death." The village chief's wife gasped.
"Your mother-in-law Qin is almost scared sick by you two." Mrs. Du also said with a pale face.
The two little ones knew they were wrong, but if it happened again, they would still do it. However, they dared not say it out loud. They could only bow their heads and apologize, "I'm sorry, I made my aunts worry."
"Hey! Let's go see your Granny Qin!"
Hearing this, Tian An hurried over with the two little ones. Mr. Han, whose face was bruised and swollen, started to move but then stopped. His mother was old and had already been frightened by everything that had happened today. If she saw him like this again, she would inevitably be upset. It was better to take it easy for now.
Tian An examined Grandma Qin carefully and was relieved only after confirming that she was fine.
Seeing Xiaokang and Xiaoqi standing in front of her in good health, Granny Qin's heart finally settled down. Only then did she have time to ask about Mr. Han's condition.
Tian An said honestly, "Mr. Han has some injuries on his face. He was afraid you would worry, so he didn't dare to come forward. But don't worry, they are just superficial injuries. They are not serious and will be healed after a while."
"Child, am I such an ignorant person? It was obvious that those people just now were not easy to deal with. You are blessed by the Bodhisattva for being able to keep your life. A few injuries are nothing." Grandma Qin said generously.
Although she said it was nothing, she subconsciously looked towards the crowd. Tian An saw through it but didn't say anything. How could a mother let go of her child?
Zhao Yiming looked around the place that Tian An and the others had found, and seeing that it was relatively hidden and safe, he simply let everyone rest here.
At this time, the general who was preparing to escort Scar Man and others to the government office a few miles away was still thinking about the feeling he had when he hugged Xiaokang just now.
Just as he was lost in thought, he heard his deputy, Chen Cheng, teasing, "General, you're not still thinking about that kid, are you? It's no wonder, though. I happened to glance at him a few times just now, and I actually felt that the kid's features bore some resemblance to you."
The general paused, then turned to look at his deputy general, Chen Cheng, "What did you say?"
Chen Cheng said in a daze: "I said that boy has some of your...shadow."
"Huh..." The general stopped his horse. "Do you really think he looks like me?"
Chen Cheng rubbed his head blankly, looking at the general, at a loss, shaking his head and nodding. "Similar, but not quite."
The general immediately turned his horse around, slapped its butt hard, and galloped back to the place where he had just been.
Military Advisor Qin Wen pointed at Chen Cheng, "You! You know that the general has forgotten everything in the past, but you always feel that he has a wife and children. You have been looking for them all these years. Why didn't you say such an important thing just now?"
Shen Cheng slapped himself on the forehead, "I...I didn't think of this just now."
Qin Wen sighed, asked the others to slow down and continue forward, and he turned his horse around and rode to catch up.
Chen Cheng also wanted to go, but the team needed someone to look after it, so he had to stay.
The group of people including the tied-up scarred man had been listening attentively to the conversation between the three people. When they learned that Xiaokang might be the general's son, they regretted it very much.
Especially the strong man, as soon as he thought about how he almost strangled Xiaokang to death, he felt terrible. In an instant, he felt pain not only in his wrist that was shot through, but also all over his body.
Sure enough, the next second, he was whipped on the back by Shen Cheng. Obviously, Shen Cheng also remembered that Xiaokang was almost strangled to death.
It is said that when the general and the military advisor rushed to the previous place, the place was deserted.
The general was dumbfounded, "Qin Wen, my son doesn't want me anymore."
Qin Wen was even more dumbfounded. "This hasn't even been confirmed! He's not even considered your son yet."
"I just hugged him and I could feel that he is my son," the general said stubbornly.
"You said the same thing when you held other children before. But they have both parents, and it has nothing to do with you."
There is a precedent for this. Their general once brought back a child from somewhere and insisted that the child was his son. The child also cooperated and called him dad.
Later, the child's mother came and insisted that it was his wife who was abusing her power and causing chaos in the general's mansion.
Qin Wen and the others all felt their general had been deceived, but he alone firmly believed, talking about his son's growth and his son's shortness every day. Fortunately, he only cared about the child and didn't sleep with the child's mother. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain what happened later.
It was because the mother and son were too greedy that they actually stole the imperial gifts bestowed by the emperor and pawned them. The pawnshop owner noticed something was wrong and informed Qin Wen.
Later, Qin Wen devised another plan and blew out the child's father. Faced with the two similar faces of the father and son, the general finally faced reality.
The general was embarrassed by his past, but he still said stubbornly, "Chen Cheng said he looks like me. How could he look like me if he wasn't my son? And I held him for a long time just now, but I didn't see his parents come out. It shows that he has no father, so he is my son."
"This..." Qin Wen was also puzzled. Normally, when something like this happens to a child, the parents are the first to come out. But just now, there were only two boys by his side from beginning to end, and they were fleeing. If the children's parents were there, they should be among the group. Could it be that the child really has no father?
Before Qin Wen could figure it out, something strange happened to the general again.
He fell to the ground, looking up to the sky and crying, "Son, it's my fault, I lost you..."
The tall and strong man, the iron-blooded general, now looked as pitiful as an unwanted little animal.
Qin Wen hurried over to pull him up, but he was like a scoundrel and refused to get up.
Qin Wen had no choice but to coax and deceive: "General, let's go and complete the task assigned by the emperor first, and then come back to find the young master!"
The general looked quite foolish, but he was not easily deceived. "If you can't find it now, how are you going to find it later?"
Qin Wen thought for a moment and said, "Young Master Zhao, who is beside the young master, is a scholar who is going to study at Songshan Academy. When the time comes, we can go to Songshan Academy and ask him. If we can find Young Master Zhao, will we have to worry about not being able to find the young master?"
The general's eyes lit up and he got up from the ground without any help.
He stood up and did not forget to pull Qin Wen with him, "Hurry, let's go and take care of the emperor's business, and come back to find our son."
