Chapter 273 Wu's Daughter Training
"Second brother, didn't you meet anyone from the Cheng family along the way? Or anyone from our Beiguan Village?"
Mrs. Wu thought of Mrs. Cheng's expression just now and asked directly.
Although Cheng didn't say anything, her eyes were fixed on the Wu family.
Wu's second brother shook his head:
"I haven't met them, but I heard that many refugees were taken away by Shao Yidao's men. In addition to Shao Yidao's men, there are Song Baozi, Zhao Danshui, Liu Qilang, and several other gangs of self-proclaimed leaders. They are all ferocious and vicious. If you run slower, you will be caught by them."
Shao Yidao?
Everyone's faces darkened.
Xia Daohua asked Xia Youtian and found out that Shao Yidao was also from Bohai County. He was a member of the Huzi clan and was said to have grown up in a bandit camp.
He is best known for his sharp and decisive knife skills.
This man has a cruel temper, but he does not like to torture prisoners.
I heard that he would capture people and take them to the mountains, and ask them if they were willing to work with him. Anyone who shook their head and said no would be killed immediately.
There is no chance for you to hesitate or regret.
His attitude towards the enemy, prisoners and subordinates was almost the same.
Cold and ruthless, and intolerant of resistance.
They are only given one chance to speak. Anyone who dares to resist, oppose, is indecisive, or hesitates will basically be killed with one blow.
This guy had been entrenched in the Niutou Mountain area before, and was considered a famous bandit. I never expected that he would raise the flag of rebellion one day.
However, although Shao Yidao raised the flag of rebellion, he did not obey the orders of Bohai County.
He was like a country of his own, occupying several hills near Niutou Mountain. He collected tolls from all passers-by, whether they were pedestrians, caravans, bandits, or enemy troops.
As Xia Daohua listened, she almost couldn't help laughing.
This guy has quite a personality.
With the way he makes enemies everywhere, I'm afraid he won't live long...
Wu's second brother still seemed to be in a state of fear when he talked about this:
"We in the Wu family are lucky. Although we lost our wealth, we also saved our lives. Some people would rather die than give up their wealth, and were chopped to death by those bandit soldiers; some people, although they lost their wealth, they still couldn't save their lives!"
Everyone couldn't help but sigh when they heard this.
When Wu's second brother said this, he seemed to remember something. His eyes flashed, and after hesitating for a while, he whispered something to Wu.
Wu was extremely surprised, and then she took her second brother and Zhou to the small house next door:
"Mom, come here, my brother has something to tell you."
After entering the small room, Wu's second brother lowered his voice and said a few words, and Zhou took a deep breath and couldn't help but raise her voice: "Are you serious?"
Mrs. Wu's voice rang out immediately: "My second brother is a very honest person and never lies. Since he said so, it must be true. But what should we do about this matter? We still need our parents to make a decision."
"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
"I think they look about 70% similar. But this person looks similar, and I'm not sure whether that thief is Jinhua.
But when she saw me, the expression on her face changed, as if she knew me.
So I guess it's probably her."
Several people murmured for a while. Zhou was silent for a while before saying to Wu:
"This matter ends here, don't spread it outside. I will discuss it with your father and then decide what to do."
All the sentimentality on Zhou's face disappeared, and she returned to her usual spirit of efficiency.
It seems that when faced with difficulties and desperate situations, she will automatically put aside her fragility and become the tigress who dares to face anything, even kill people with her own hands, just to avenge her daughter.
There was a loud bang outside the door, followed by the sound of porcelain breaking.
Zhou hurriedly pushed the door open and saw that it was Lanhua standing outside with a look of shock on her face, with a large area of her clothes soaked.
There was a teapot, several teacups, and a wooden tray scattered on the ground.
The handle of the teapot was broken and the lid was shattered, but the teacups were still intact.
These things were all bought by Jiang and Xia Daohua.
Seeing this scene, Zhou understood that Lanhua had just eavesdropped on their conversation.
Mrs. Wu was also surprised to see Lanhua outside the door. She saw that her clothes were wet and glanced at the teapot on the ground, but she didn't care about anything else: "Silly child, you are burned? Why are you so careless?"
As he spoke, he went to check on Lanhua's injuries.
How could Lanhua be willing to let Wu see her wounds in front of Wu's second brother? What's more, Zhou's fierce eyes were staring at her! She could only endure the pain and say:
"Mom, I'm fine, I'll just apply some burn ointment later.
I was thinking of bringing you, my grandmother and my second uncle some tea, but I stumbled when I walked to the door and ended up dropping the teapot..."
As he spoke, tears began to flow.
Then, he looked at Zhou with some curiosity: "Grandma, I just heard you say that you have something to discuss with my grandfather. What happened? Can I help?"
Zhou stared at her steadily, which made Lanhua feel a little uncomfortable. Then she withdrew her gaze and said calmly:
"It's an adult matter. How can a child like you help? Go back with your mother and ask her to apply some medicine on you."
Zhou knew that Lanhua had always been smart and obedient, not to mention there was also Wu.
Mrs. Wu knew what was going on.
Even if Lanhua heard something, Wu would never let these words spread out of Lanhua's mouth.
Even if Zhou didn't say anything, Wu could hardly bear it any longer.
Now that she had heard what Zhou had said, she hurriedly pulled the orchid and walked out.
The mother and daughter went into their room. Wu hurriedly tore off Lanhua's clothes and saw that a large area of her front was already red from being burned. There seemed to be several blisters on her skin. She felt extremely distressed and patted Lanhua's hand:
"What are you trying to do? How could you not dodge the hot water? If you get burned, do you want your mother to be heartbroken?"
While complaining, he turned around to look for ointment.
Xia Daohua prepared some commonly used medicines for the family, which she put in small porcelain bottles with labels on the outside. Wu used her fingernails to dig out a large piece of burn ointment from a small snow-white porcelain bottle and applied it to Lanhua's wound.
Lanhua was originally in so much pain that she was crying. After applying the burn ointment, she immediately felt a cool sensation on the injured skin: "Oh, this medicine is really effective. It doesn't hurt so much after applying it."
Wu's hand paused, and continued to spread the orchid evenly:
“This is the medicine that Daohua found.
Normally, you are not happy when I ask you to get closer to the rice flowers.
Look at your sister Taohua and your brother Erlang, aren't they getting along well with Daohua? How much benefit have they gained?"
While scolding Lanhua, Mrs. Wu kept moving her hands and soon applied a thick layer of ointment to all the wounds on Lanhua's chest.
She found a piece of white cotton cloth and carefully wrapped Lanhua up, then took out another piece of clothes for her to change.
"Lanhua, mother asked you to get close to Daohua, not just to ask her to help you, or to get you some work or some benefits from her."
Good night, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow. ^_^
Love you, (づ￣ 3￣)づ.
