Jun Baozhu was squatting by the pond in the yard, watching the fish, holding up the small fish that her sixth brother had grilled...
Suddenly, it pricked up its ears and rushed towards the outside of the courtyard...
Niu Erhua quickly followed, and saw Lao Qi and Lao Shi running into the distance.
Niu Erhua grabbed Wen Shishi and quickly returned to the courtyard to report the news.
The sixth brother hurried out and saw a group of figures in the distance, followed by what appeared to be a large group of people...
"Second Flower Girl, please call for help!"
After saying this, Lao Liu quickly disappeared back into the courtyard.
Niu Erhua realized what was happening, picked up Wen Shishi, and went from house to house calling for help.
When the sixth brother reappeared, he was carrying two baskets on his back, left by his second brother, filled with explosives.
Fishermen and fisherwomen gathered together, waiting for Lao Liu's order.
Old Liu selected several fishermen, distributed two explosives to each of them, and taught them how to use them...
Important reminders.
The sixth man reminded everyone that these explosives were mainly for deterrence, and no one was allowed to use them without his order.
After receiving assurances from the fishermen, Lao Liu instructed Niu Erhua to lead everyone into their home and wait for their return.
As the figure drew closer, the fishermen and their wives in front of the courtyard grew increasingly nervous.
The sixth fisherman led the fishermen forward, while the fisherwomen watched their retreating figures from behind...
Their faces were filled with worry.
When Lao Liu and his group went to meet them, the other party did not seem to start a fight...
Although the fisherwomen were worried and wanted to see how things unfolded, Niu Erhua urged them on...
They had no choice but to return to their respective homes.
Niu Erhua took Wen Shishi back to the courtyard and searched the house and the backyard...
Niu Erhua picked up a shovel, intending to have Wen Shishi hide in her older brother's room...
Wen Shishi tugged at Niu Erhua's sleeve, looked up, and said, "Sister Erhua, I'll be good! I'm not afraid!"
Niu Erhua calmly looked at Wen Shishi, took her hand, and felt a warm and strong grip in her palm...
He pulled Wen Shishi behind the courtyard gate and secretly observed the movements in the distance.
There were no explosions, no sounds of fighting...
All they could hear was each other breathing.
After some time, a noise came from outside the door...
Niu Erhua tightened her grip on Wen Shishi's hand, but when she saw the person approaching from not far away, she couldn't help but loosen her grip.
The seventh and tenth sons.
Upon seeing Niu Erhua behind the door, the seventh and tenth brothers exclaimed enthusiastically:
"It's us, Erhua! Don't worry!"
Niu Erhua put down the shovel in her hand and led Wen Shishi out.
Hearing the noise, a nearby fisherwoman peeked out from her yard...
Upon seeing that it was the seventh and tenth brothers, they all inquired.
"It's alright! Everyone's fine! Don't worry, aunties and older sisters!"
If you have time, could you please prepare some hot water and food? They're on their way and will be back soon!
Upon hearing this, the fisherwomen were overjoyed and immediately turned around to prepare water and food.
Seeing the fisherwomen leave, Lao Qi lowered his voice and leaned closer to Niu Erhua:
"Second Miss, please help us too. We need to prepare more hot water and clean bedding..."
Niu Erhua's expression immediately changed. "What's wrong?"
What happened?
The seventh brother looked around to make sure no one was there before whispering:
"Fourth Brother is seriously injured. Sixth Brother told us to come back first to make preparations..."
Sixth Brother needs to treat Fourth Brother's injuries...
Niu Erhua didn't ask any further questions and quickly nodded, "Besides boiling water and preparing bedding, what else do you need me to do?"
The seventh brother showed gratitude, "This is enough. We've done so much else, after all, we saved lives..."
We can only rely on Sixth Brother..."
Niu Erhua glanced into the room and, seemingly through the wall, could see Song Chenghou's pale face...
Pulling Wen Shishi tighter, he said to the Tenth Prince, "Tenth Prince, you stay here..."
It will be easier to meet them when they return...
"Seventh Young Master, come with me. I'll settle Fourth Young Master in my household!"
The seventh brother immediately felt that there was no safer approach than this.
There's only one room in the house. If someone moves around, it might wake up my older brother and make him worry...
Niu Erhua's home is some distance away, so Sixth Brother can focus on his treatment without worrying about disturbing Big Brother...
The seventh brother immediately clasped his hands in greeting and followed Niu Erhua towards her house...
Looking back, I realized that the figure in the distance was gradually approaching.
