Du Xiaohe was almost scared to death: "Village Chief, I was wrong, don't send me to the authorities! I was just blinded by greed! I won't dare to do it again! We are all from the same village, please forgive me!"
Du Xiaohe was tied up and struggled to get up, kowtowed to Li Youcai and Tang Li.
Du Xiaohe was now extremely regretful. Why had she gone to look for that bandit relative?!
Li Tiemu completely collapsed there, frightened to the point of peeing his pants.
"It's... the bandits who are deliberately forcing me. If I don't do it, they're going to kill me!"
"No! It was Li Tiemu, it was all Li Tiemu's idea!"
"Please spare me! Don't take me to see the authorities! Please!" Du Xiaohe kowtowed to Tang Li.
No matter how Du Xiaohe begged, Tangli showed no sympathy.
These bandits were recruited by Du Xiaohe. If it weren't for her dream, many villagers would have been killed and many women would have been bullied. How innocent are these people?
Du Xiaohe, you deserve it!
Suddenly, the paralyzed Li Tiemu pounced on Du Xiaohe and bit her ear tightly, as if he wanted to bite her ear off.
In the end, the bailiffs pulled the two apart.
"You stinky bitch, it's all your fault! You're going to kill me! What sin have I committed to marry a bitch like you who is asking for death!"
"Wuwua ...
Du Xiaohe just cried, and there was a lot of noise.
Then the yamen runners stuffed a rag into his mouth and took him away.
Catching sixteen bandits is a great achievement, but too much merit is never too great, so catching two people who colluded with the bandits is also a small achievement.
The yamen runners left happily.
After solving the problem of the bandits, Tang Li and Wei Qing went to the medicine bag factory together.
The seriously injured villagers were placed in the yard of the medicine bag factory. A layer of thatch was laid on the ground, covered with straw mats, and each family brought the thickest quilt at home.
Although it was open air, the fire was lit at night so it wasn't too cold. Now it was daytime, the fire was out, and the sun shone on everyone, making them feel warm and comfortable.
The injured villagers included both young and old, some with injuries to their hands and feet, and some to their internal organs. They were all wrapped in cloth strips. When they saw Tang Li and Wei Qing, they all smiled and greeted them.
Their families were by their side, some were mothers, some were wives.
Several women gathered together and whispered something, then pushed someone out.
"Wei...Sister-in-law Wei!" The speaker was a woman in her twenties.
"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?" Tang Li asked.
"Sister-in-law Wei, Doctor Su said that you bought all the medicines. How much do these medicines cost? Sister-in-law, tell us the amount so we can pay you!"
"Yes, Sister Wei, tell us the number so we can have a rough idea!"
Their family is extremely poor now, but no matter how poor they are, they cannot refuse to pay their debts.
This time, if it weren’t for Tang Li and Wei Qing, their entire village would be finished.
If they are still blamed for this, then are they still human? No matter how thick-skinned and stingy they are, they dare not say no.
If the money is too much, then they won't use medicine. They will just bear it and grit their teeth and they will get better.
"I'll pay for the medicine. Everyone, take good care of yourself and your health. Don't worry." Tang Li said.
"This...how can this be possible?"
"Yeah, there are so many of us, how much will it cost?"
"Doctor Su's treatment is free, and your medicine is free too. We have no way of repaying you for treating us like this!"
"The harvest is not good this year, and everyone is having a hard time. Wei Qing and I just happened to make some money this year, so we are helping everyone. If my business is not doing well next year, I will also ask the villagers for some help. We are all from the same village, so don't be too polite!" Tang Li said with a smile.
"Okay, we will remember this kindness from Sister Wei."
"Thank you, Sister Wei!"
"Mrs. Wei and Doctor Su are both our benefactors."
Everyone expressed their gratitude.
"Everyone, just rest assured and recover. Once you recover, you can live a better life."
Everyone nodded, looking at Tang Li and Wei Qing with gratitude.
At this time, Mrs. Su and Lanhua came out of the kitchen, one carrying a wooden bucket and the other holding a basin full of bowls.
Tangli sniffed and smelled an aroma: "Bone soup?"
"Yes, I made some bone soup. If you drink it, you will heal faster."
Tangli hurried over to help. Mrs. Su poured the soup into small bowls, and Tangli and Lanhuaer were responsible for serving it to everyone.
"Thank you, Sister Wei!"
"This soup is so delicious that I don't even want my injury to heal!" The speaker was a black boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old.
Tangli knocked on his head and said, "Silly boy, does it hurt?"
The black boy covered his head and smiled shyly.
It hurts, but he feels happier to be able to drink the soup. He hasn't tasted meat for several months.
After the villagers finished drinking the soup, Doctor Su came out and changed the medicine for everyone and checked their wounds.
"Everyone's injuries are no longer too dangerous. Except for Uncle Wufu, Ergouzi, and Xiaoliuzi, who have internal injuries, the rest of you can go back. Remember to come to me every day to change the dressings. Also, if you have a fever or feel any other discomfort, come to me immediately." Doctor Su said.
"Thank you, Doctor Su. We'll be leaving now."
"Thank you, Doctor Su..."
Everyone thanked them, and those with injured feet were helped by their families as they left. The straw mats and quilts on the ground were also taken away.
The black boy just now injured his hand, with a big cut on his arm. He said that he could even see the bones, but he was not on the list of people left behind. He walked at the end, reluctant to leave.
"There will be bone soup tomorrow. You can drink it when you change the medicine. Go back quickly." Tang Li said with a smile.
"Mrs. Wei, I like you the most!" The black boy was suddenly delighted.
Wei Qing put his arm around Tang Li's shoulders, full of possessiveness.
"Mine, you are not allowed to like it!" Very fierce!
The black boy stuck out his tongue at Wei Qing and ran away.
Mrs. Su had already cleared out a room. Wei Qing and Doctor Su helped Uncle Wufu and Ergouzi, who had suffered internal injuries, into the room and laid them down.
A bed is naturally more comfortable than the floor, especially for seriously injured patients, who need a good place to rest.
Finally, these seriously injured patients have been arranged.
Tangli went to the next room to help Doctor Su with the medicinal herbs.
Erbao and Sanbao were also there, sitting on two small wooden stools, helping Doctor Su pick the herbs.
As soon as Tangli came in, the two babies moved the small wooden stool to her side and started working next to her.
The two little guys are young and slow, but they work very hard.
"Xiaotang, there's nothing much to do in the village. If you and Wei Qing are busy, go back to town. Taiyuan and I are here." Mrs. Su said.
Mrs. Su looked at her tired little face and felt a little distressed. She was busy in the village and couldn't sleep well.
"Wei Qing and I will go back tomorrow and see if there is anything we can help with today." Tang Li said.
Seeing that Tangli had made up his mind, Mrs. Su didn't say anything more.
Tang Li worked for the whole morning, and in the afternoon, Li Youcai came to see her.
Tang Li went out and saw Li Youcai standing in the yard. Li Youcai had wounds all over his body, but he was still alive and kicking.
"Sister Wei, I've been checking on all the villagers who went home, and I've been busy until now. This is for you!"
Li Youcai was holding a basket full of eggs.
Tang Li was a little surprised: "This is..."
"These were all given by the villagers, one or two per family. They are a token of our appreciation. You must accept them."
