It turned out that the sword had been taken by Chief Escort Liu during their escape from famine, and he had done a lot to protect everyone.
Later, they settled in Suijintan. Since their home was of little use, they gave it to the Marquis to fight the enemy.
If Father goes to war this time, we can't possibly ask for it back again...
The best solution would be to forge another fine knife for Father.
If you have enough materials, you should also make more daggers and arrowheads...
But when she lived in seclusion in her old family home, she didn't intend to become a blacksmith, so naturally she didn't have that many materials stored up.
Now they had to search high and low for suitable items: kitchen knives, sickles, wood-chopping axes, wrenches of various sizes for tightening screws, etc.—anything metal that looked sturdy was taken by Jiayin.
I only hope that they will live up to the technology of the previous life, and after being melted and tempered here again, they can become my father's weapons of self-defense!
Grandma Li had something on her mind, so she got up early the next day. In the morning light, she saw her granddaughter sleeping with her hands and feet sprawled out, so she decided to tuck her in. But her granddaughter's little hands were so dirty, it looked like she had touched the bottom of a pot, which made her sigh, "Where did this girl go to play in her dreams?"
Grandma Li got out of bed, found a damp cloth, wiped her granddaughter clean, kissed her chubby little hand, and sighed softly.
She felt sorry for her son and wanted to protect him under her wings for the rest of her life, but her son also felt sorry for his daughter and couldn't bear to see her suffer...
When the sun was high in the sky, Ye Shan drove his horse-drawn carriage back to the village to retrieve some things. Just as he was about to enter the courtyard, he saw Dong Mei carrying Jia Yin out.
He quickly bowed to his young master, and then smiled at Dongmei, "Did you know I was coming back and come out to greet me specially? The Marquis asked me to retrieve a few letters; I have to return to the city soon..."
"Great, I just happened to need to talk to you." Dongmei put Jiayin down, and Jiayin waved goodbye to them and headed home.
Seeing that the young master had entered the neighboring courtyard, Dongmei pulled Yeshan to the door of the east wing of the capital. "Take some things with you. Inform the Marquis and find a trustworthy person to forge some good weapons."
Ye Shan nodded, and Dong Mei added, "This is for Master Li next door. Master Li wants to go on the expedition with the Marquis, but the old lady disagrees."
Ye Shan was delighted to hear this and whispered in response, "This is great news! Fourth Master is incredibly skilled; he's definitely a fierce general! With him accompanying the Marquis on his campaign, the Marquis will have a great helper."
After saying that, he lifted the box onto the car, quickly took the letter, and left.
Jiayin was thinking of her grandmother, so she ran straight to the main house as soon as she entered her courtyard.
The old lady only ate a little bit for breakfast. The whole family knew that she was suffering from internal heat, so they could only take extra care of her.
Tao Hongying happened to come out of the kitchen and walked across from her daughter. She instructed her, "Fu Niu, Mom has cooked some porridge. You should eat a few more bites with Grandma and coax her a little, okay?"
"I understand, Mother."
Jiayin nodded, and just as she was about to speak, a horse-drawn carriage suddenly came galloping along the road at the village entrance, bringing a cloud of dust as it arrived at the door.
Jiayin thought it was Yeshan returning, but a young man fell off the carriage shaft with a thud, his back covered in blood, which was quite shocking.
Startled, Tao Hongying dropped the porridge bowl and immediately shielded her daughter behind her.
The young man looked up and suddenly shouted, "Fourth Sister-in-law, it's me! Help!"
Upon closer inspection, Tao Hongying realized it was Young Master Yan, and she quickly ran out!
After the valley was built, Young Master Yan never appeared again. The wages were all entrusted to Lord Zhou to be handed over. Everyone thought that he was being kept at home to study, or that he had gone to study in other prefectures.
Little did I expect that our reunion would be like this.
"Mother! Come quick! Young Master Yan is in trouble!" Tao Hongying didn't care about anything else, she called for help while trying to help Young Master Yan up.
Unexpectedly, Young Master Yan managed to get up and pointed into the car, "Sister-in-law, my wife is in the car. She's been given an abortion pill! Help! Doctor Zhang, please help me!"
"What?" Tao Hongying glanced into the car instinctively and almost collapsed.
Inside the carriage lay a young woman, her ivory skirt stained with blood, her face deathly pale, clearly having fainted.
She quickly jumped into the car and carried the person out.
Jiayin took off running, intending to find Doctor Zhang in the back row of rooms, but unfortunately her short legs were really not up to the task.
Fortunately, they didn't run far before they ran into Uncle Zhao and a few others who were patrolling the streets. They quickly helped them find the person and then carried Jiayin to the Li family.
Inside the landlord's room of the Li family, the young woman was carried onto the kang (a heated brick bed). Old Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying helped her take off her skirt, fetch water, throw in cloths, and wipe away the bloodstains. They were extremely busy.
The woman seemed to sense it, clutching her stomach and bursting into tears.
Grandma Li felt sorry for her and whispered to comfort her, "Young lady, don't be afraid. The miracle doctor will be here soon and will definitely be able to cure you."
"Yes, this is our Li family home, not outside. Don't be afraid. Young Master Yan used to live here for a long time. We have a renowned doctor here who can definitely cure you!"
Tao Hongying is also a mother, so she understands all too well how the woman feels at this moment.
During their escape from famine, she was pregnant with Fu Niu and was constantly worried, fearing that something might happen to the child.
Fortunately, Fu Niu'er has always been very strong, was born safely, and has been raised smoothly to this day.
Whether the woman believed these words or not, she grabbed Tao Hongying's hand, as if seeking some strength.
Tao Hongying squeezed her hand tightly and whispered about her daughter's little habits and quirks, all of which were interesting and cute. The woman seemed mesmerized as she listened, and stopped crying out in pain, and the bleeding from below also decreased.
At this moment, Doctor Zhang finally arrived.
After examining him closely, he quickly took a bottle of medicine from his medicine box and poured out a pill.
"Dissolve these pills in water and force-feed them to her to keep her in this state for now. I'll go brew the medicine. Luckily, a few young women in the village are also pregnant, otherwise we really wouldn't be prepared..."
As he spoke, he hurriedly walked out.
Young Master Yan, supporting himself on the chair, waited for Doctor Zhang to come out and then hurriedly asked, "Uncle Zhang, how is my wife?"
He only asked about his wife, not his child, which made Doctor Zhang's expression soften.
"Don't worry, he won't die. For now, the baby should be safe too."
After saying that, he grabbed another bottle of medicine powder and threw it to Li Laosi and Li Laoer, who had just returned.
"Help him apply the medicine. Don't let him look like he's half-dead. If word gets out, people will think I can't even heal a minor injury."
This old man has always had a sharp tongue but a soft heart; he's never good at saying nice things, and everyone's used to it.
Young Master Yan was carried to the west room, his dirty clothes were removed, his wounds were cleaned, and medicine was applied and bandaged.
Li Lao Er, Li Lao Si, and the others all frowned.
I don't know who hit Young Master Yan, but they really hit him hard. There's not a single good spot left on his buttocks and thighs.
Some parts were bruised and swollen, while others were completely mangled, with blood and flesh stuck to his pants. When they were peeled off, Young Master Yan was in so much pain that beads of sweat dripped down his forehead.
But he didn't utter a sound, clearly not wanting his wife in the next room to worry.
The crowd admired him even more, and became even more gentle and skillful in their actions.
After finally finishing their work, both the injured and the medical staff were exhausted and covered in sweat.
Doctor Zhang was also very efficient; he quickly decocted both doses of medicine.
Without asking any questions, Young Master Yan picked up the glass and gulped it down.
