Chapter 061 How could this happen?
Not to mention others, even old man Gu Jian looked bewildered, "What... is going on?"
"Old General, we are from Xiaoping Village. More than ten years ago, bandits were rampant. You led your troops to eliminate them, and the person you saved was my mother."
"And my sister."
"And my wife."
After hearing what everyone said, Mr. Gu remembered that more than ten years ago, he won a battle and met someone who asked for help on his way back to the capital, so he helped them. Unexpectedly, they still remembered it.
"I am Chen Dongqing, a lowly person. I don't know what happened to the old general..."
Mrs. Li had never expected that her original intention of shifting the blame elsewhere would lead to such a scene. "What else can I do? I've committed a serious crime."
"Shut up! General Gu is a good man. He has won so many battles and helped the court solve problems. It shouldn't have come to this."
Old Master Gu smiled faintly, "No one is perfect, no one is without fault."
"Old General, you are our savior. We don't want this thing anymore. Even if we starve to death, we can't steal your things. It's our fault that we were blind and didn't recognize you. I kowtow to you and admit my mistake."
"No need, no need." Old Master Gu was unable to move, and before anyone could help him, Datou kowtowed several times on the ground.
The others also put their things down. They were not bad people, but life was difficult in this world. No matter how much they raised their benefactors, they could not steal their benefactors' things.
Isn’t that a beast?
"Old General, you are a good man, you must have been wronged. Why don't we rescue you? We are many, even if it means risking our lives, I will not hesitate to take the lion's share."
As soon as he said this, everyone became nervous.
Zhang Xiang said timidly, "What do you want to do? Robbing a prisoner is a capital crime. Don't you want to live?"
"Without General Gu, we would have died long ago."
"Yes, it was General Gu who saved us when the bandits were burning, killing and looting. He also gave us food. Without him, we would have become ghosts long ago."
"How dare you!" Zhang Xiang roared, but the crowd was so excited that his words could not intimidate them at all.
If Mr. Gu really wanted to escape, he didn't need anyone to rescue him. He would have many opportunities. "Everyone, listen to me."
"Listen, listen, the old general is going to speak, stop arguing."
Chen Dongqing also frowned at Datou. They didn't care if these words were spread out. He was already dead, but it would harm the old general.
This is not repaying a favor, this is repaying evil with kindness.
"I appreciate your kindness, but if you are wrong, you must accept the punishment. I have nothing to say. Take these food away, too."
"No, I can't take it. If my mother knew that I took your things, she would strike me down in her dreams."
Old Master Gu looked at Chen Dongqing, knowing that this young man was sensible, honest, and kind. "Don't make excuses anymore, Dongqing. We can just buy more. After all, we won't starve to death. It's the big guys who are in urgent need of food."
"Old General, we are... ashamed."
"There's no need to be ashamed. You should just know what you can and can't do. I hope what happened today won't happen again. How would that be any different from the bandits back then?"
Chen Dongqing lowered his head in shame and did not dare to look at Mr. Gu.
"Oh no, Dongqing, that child... that child is dead."
A female voice was heard from the forest. From the victims' mouths, Li Mumu learned that she was Chen Dongqing's wife.
Chen Dongqing immediately looked at Li Mumu, "Miss..."
"Let's go, uncle." Li Mumu looked back at Grandpa Gu and saw her grandfather nodded at her, then strode away.
"Boss, can that little girl come back?"
Zhang Xiang was still in shock. If those people had really killed them, it would not be impossible to rescue the Gu family. But as long as Old Man Gu nodded, their lives would be gone.
"Shut up." Zhang Xiang said unhappily.
"Brother Wang, Mumu will come back. She is a good child who values love and friendship." Liuzi said.
The little girl was his savior, and he would not allow others to be suspicious of her like this.
The yamen runner surnamed Wang wanted to refute, but when he looked at the victims holding torches, he shut his mouth in disappointment.
Only a small number of people followed Chen Dongqing and Li Mumu, and a large number stayed behind. The yamen runners did not dare to act rashly.
Li Mumu followed them deep into the woods, and unexpectedly found a pond there, and a cave beside the pond.
It wasn't just Dongqing's wife who was here. There were many other women here, both young and old. However, they all looked skinny and bony, and it was obvious that they hadn't eaten for many days.
"Why did you bring a daughter back?" someone asked in confusion.
"Don't ask nonsense questions. This is the daughter of our benefactor." The man yelled at his wife.
The woman was stunned by the shouting, "What benefactor..."
Chen Dongqing looked at Li Mumu and took her into the cave. The place was not very big, but it could easily accommodate a few people. There were torches everywhere.
In the light of the fire, Li Mumu saw a young boy, about eight or nine years old, with his eyes closed and a pale and bloodless face, but he was very handsome. However, she didn't have time to take a good look at him because there was a strong smell of blood in her nostrils.
Li Mumu lowered her gaze and saw a wet spot on his chest. She knew it wasn't water, but blood.
She checked the injury and fortunately the arrow had not been pulled out. If it had been pulled out and not handled properly, the guy would have lost his life.
"Miss Gu, can he still be saved?"
Li Mumu just checked his breath. It's not that he has no breath, but it's too weak. It's a blessing that this kid is lucky, otherwise there would be no way to save him.
"Yes, Uncle Dongqing, you can call me Mumu. General Gu is my grandfather."
Chen Dongqing blushed, "Oh, okay, excuse me."
Li Mumu took a deep breath and said, "Uncle, I'm going to save him. Please guard the entrance to the cave and don't let anyone come in to disturb me."
"Okay, okay, no problem." After Chen Dongqing finished speaking, he took a few people out and guarded the entrance of the cave. Not only did he not allow anyone to come in, he even did not allow anyone to talk loudly, for fear that it would affect Li Mumu's rescue.
Li Mumu first took out the anesthetic from the space, prepared the surgical knife, and disinfected it in advance, as well as the hemostatic medicine and the needle and thread for suturing later.
This is also the reason why she asked people to leave. If they saw her ability to create things out of thin air, there would be a lot of trouble later.
She couldn't kill everyone.
Fortunately, Li Mumu was very strong, otherwise he would have had no time to shoot the arrow. This kid was really lucky. If he was just a little bit off, he would have died on the spot.
In the apocalypse, she had suffered injuries of varying sizes, all of which she had dealt with by herself. They were all caused by attacks from her own kind. After all, if a zombie had hurt her, she would have become a zombie as well.
Li Mumu quickly sutured him, stopped the bleeding, gave him some anti-inflammatory drugs, and then checked his pulse.
"Hiss... How could this happen?" Li Mumu took a deep breath, and her pretty face wrinkled.
