Chapter 172 Harvesting Food
The old man stood by, but didn't say anything. He just watched silently. Erya nodded without thinking.
Several people carried Xiao Mingye and walked into the military camp. They quickly put him on the bed and surrounded him.
Erya observed carefully and found that the injury was minor, but the most serious problem was poisoning. Fortunately, the poison was very mild.
"Let me do it, Grandpa, you just sit here now."
She has learned a lot during this period and can basically judge what should be done and what should not be done.
The old man stood by, his eyes showing a hint of relief, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.
"Okay, then it's up to you."
He was very relieved, so when he sat next to her he didn't show much emotion, he just watched silently.
Erya was very fast. She could basically stab the target immediately after finding the right spot. Her movements were very quick.
Within half an hour, the poison was removed. Xiao Mingye silently opened his eyes and looked around, his eyes dazed for a moment.
Erya hurried over, put her hand on his forehead very naturally, touched it carefully, and then spoke something.
"You have a slight fever, so someone needs to watch over you at night."
After she finished speaking, she went outside and called everyone else in. When the people around saw this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The old man silently watched Erya explaining in the crowd, and there was an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart.
That night, the two of them were able to stay. Erya stayed in the military camp and slowly closed her eyes. The next day, she got up very early.
Erya immediately went to see Xiao Mingye. Seeing him lying on the bed, he seemed to be in good spirits, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"How are you feeling?"
She thought about boiling some herbs and walked over with the medicine. Xiao Mingye was in good health, so he sat up immediately and drank the medicine in one gulp.
"Thank you. I've heard about what happened yesterday. I'm really sorry that my subordinates were ignorant."
The situation on their side was extremely tense, and they really couldn't recruit anyone for the time being, so many problems were not addressed.
Hearing this, Erya blinked slightly, not really caring, and slowly shook her head.
"It's not that I want to come here, it's my grandfather who wants me to come here. Otherwise, I would never have come here."
Although she really wanted to help everyone, this place was too chaotic and she had no way to protect herself.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mingye's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness, and he sighed slowly.
"Don't worry about this matter. I can help you. If you want to stay here, I can help you with your safety and any other problems."
After all, there are indeed no women here, so it might be a little more troublesome, but he is willing to do it.
The old man heard the noise and walked in from outside. His face was very gloomy, without much emotion. He sat quietly beside them.
"Just say what you want to say. Don't keep talking about irrelevant things." His tone was very direct, leaving almost no room for negotiation.
Hearing this, Xiao Mingye inexplicably felt as if he had met a tough opponent. A hint of helplessness appeared on his face as he slowly lowered his head.
"This matter is indeed my fault. I failed to manage my subordinates well. I apologize to you."
His attitude was very sincere, he bent slightly, and even spoke in a very direct tone, just looking straight at them.
The old man didn't buy it. He just snorted coldly when he heard this, then quickly turned his head away and said something lightly.
"Your people didn't talk like this before. One looked down on me because I was old, another looked down on me because I was a woman, and they all said bad things about us."
Sometimes he is a person who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. He may say some things that may seem unpleasant, but he doesn't show any intention of leaving.
Erya stood silently by the side without saying a word, and the expression on her face was very calm.
"It was indeed our fault before. I don't know how to discuss this matter with you, but I think I should explain it to you." Xiao Mingye said.
"I apologize to you for what these people have done. I hope you don't take it to heart. If you have any other questions, you can communicate with me."
There's nothing wrong with him, he's flexible and can basically do anything you ask him to do, especially since the current situation is so complicated.
The old man was quite satisfied with his attitude. He did not make any requests, but just snorted coldly.
"Since you've already said that, then we have nothing more to say. Let's stay, but let me make it clear first, if it doesn't work out, we will still leave."
He doesn't care about everyone that much. If he can't guarantee his own situation, he will definitely not pay attention to them.
Hearing this, Xiao Mingye immediately felt relieved and nodded in agreement with a very good attitude.
…
All the merchants in the town knew that Feng Lan was in need of food, so they deliberately raised the price very high and released the food.
"These people did it on purpose. They clearly knew we wanted the food, but they deliberately refused to give it to us." Chen Kangbo said helplessly.
Hearing this, Feng Lan was so angry that her chest felt blocked. Her expression became more and more ugly, and she spoke directly.
"These people have no sense of responsibility and are capable of doing anything."
Although they don't know what the purpose is, they do it on purpose to make everyone feel embarrassed.
Chen Kangbo felt helpless when he thought of this. He couldn't help but sigh and said something to comfort her.
"The situation may be unpredictable. Our affairs are a bit complicated, so let's handle it properly."
He silently looked at Feng Lan standing in front of him, his mind working frantically, and he soon came up with a solution.
"Otherwise, I'll use these villagers to help us harvest food. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Feng Lan thought about it carefully, and finally nodded in agreement, and then said another sentence.
"Yes, this method is also feasible. At least we can receive some food, which is also a good thing."
What she thinks is not that complicated, but simple. She just wants everyone to live a good life.
