At this moment, the bramble bushes at the village entrance had been set on fire and were spreading rapidly.
"Quick, splash water!" Zhao Guihua and the others had already fetched water from the stream not far away. Fortunately, there was also a stream at the entrance of the village, so the water source was not too far away, making it easier to put out the fire.
The autumn air was dry, and the fire spread too quickly. Although Zhao Guihua and other villagers arrived just in time, some of the brambles were burned, and the refugees rushed in from the open space.
So those with tools fought with the refugees, those fighting the fire continued to fight the fire, and Zhao Guihua led her five sons to continuously fetch water from the stream to put out the fire.
Zhou Erfu watched the two groups of people fighting, stood there for a moment and pondered, then immediately threw away the wooden basin in his hand, picked up a thick wooden stick and rushed into the crowd, joining the fight.
"Where's Erfu? Do you know where he went? Dafu, didn't you see Erfu?" Zhao Guihua only realized her second son was missing after putting out the fire. Zhou Dafu was the most reliable, so she asked Dafu directly.
"Mother, I was busy putting out the fire and it was dark, so I didn't notice." Zhou Dafu was also very anxious. The scene was too chaotic, and he was worried that his second brother would be hurt by the refugees.
Seeing the villagers and disaster victims still fighting, Zhao Guihua picked up a wooden stick and shouted, "You all take sticks too, be careful not to get hurt. I'm going to go find Erfu. You find a safe place to hide and don't run around. Dafu, you watch over your younger brother and the others."
"Mom, be careful." Zhou Dafu wanted to help, but he was afraid of being a hindrance, so he could only stand there anxiously.
Around 1:15 PM, Yegou Village finally calmed down. Apart from those who were killed, all the refugees who had broken in had fled. Many people in Yegou Village were also injured, but fortunately no one lost their lives.
Xingxing and Zhou Laoda waited anxiously at home for nearly two hours until Zhao Guihua and the five Fu brothers finally returned.
"Mom, are you alright? What happened to your foot?" Xingxing ran over anxiously to support Zhao Guihua, but she was too short and could only hold on by the hand without being able to exert any force.
However, Zhao Guihua was quite pleased and patted the little girl's head reassuringly, "Mother is fine, I just twisted my ankle." Then she sat down on the stool.
"Erfu, you come in here! You brat, you've really grown up! Even your mother can't control you anymore!" Zhao Guihua said angrily.
"Did Second Brother make Mother angry?" Xingxing turned to look at Zhou Erfu, only to see that half of his arm was covered in blood, his face was pale, and he looked dejected.
Seeing this, Xingxing ran to Zhou Erfu's side with worry, wanting to touch him but not daring to, her little mouth pouting as she was about to cry, "Second Brother, why are you bleeding so much?"
"Second brother is alright, Xingxing, don't cry. It doesn't hurt at all. It's just a little blood. You won't die." Zhou Erfu waved his hand and grinned at the little girl, but his face was too pale, and his smile looked worse than a cry.
"Waaah, Second Brother, you've lost so much blood, how could it not hurt? Sit down quickly and bandage the wound properly. We need to apply medicine." The smell of blood kept filling her nostrils, and Xingxing was scared, afraid that her Second Brother would end up like their father, bedridden and unable to get up.
"Look how scared you've made your sister! You think you're so capable? Hurry up and sit down," Zhao Guihua said, worried about her son. She quickly instructed her eldest son, "Dafu, go and fetch a basin of clean water. Sanfu, go and find a set of clean clothes. Sifu, you and Wufu, go and find some medicine for your wounds."
Ever since Zhou Laoda was seriously injured last time, Zhao Guihua and the quintuplets have been keen on collecting medicinal herbs. Of course, they don't know many kinds of herbs, so they always bring Xingxing with them.
Xingxing only knew the general effects of the herbs, but couldn't name them or how to prepare them. Zhao Guihua and Wu Fu figured out how to prepare them themselves. They had given them to Zhou Laoda to try before, and there were no side effects.
Boss Zhou: "..." So he was being used as a guinea pig in experiments?
In short, the Zhou family now has plenty of wound medicine. Sifu and Wufu quickly found some. These were medicine powders that had been dried and then crushed into powder with stones. After cleaning the wound, they could be sprinkled directly on it.
Everything was ready, and Zhao Guihua was about to get up to help Zhou Erfu treat his wounds when Zhou Dafu stopped her, saying, "Mother, stay seated and don't move. We'll help Second Brother treat his wounds."
"Alright, be careful not to hurt him." Zhao Guihua sniffed; Erfu was injured while saving her.
Those damned Zhou Laosan and Zhang Cui! Just as she was fighting desperately with the refugees, Zhou Laosan ordered Zhang Cui to launch a sneak attack. At that moment, Zhang Cui raised a wooden stick and tried to hit her on the head from behind.
This scene was witnessed by Zhou Erfu, who was strong. He kicked the refugee away and rushed over to hit Zhang Cui with a stick. Zhang Cui immediately fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
When Zhou Laosan saw his wife being beaten, he became furious and swung a hoe at her. Zhou Erfu couldn't dodge in time and his arm was injured. Zhou Laosan's actions completely enraged him.
Finally, Zhou Laosan was bumped into by Zhou Erfu and pinned to the ground. Zhou Erfu used his uninjured hand to punch Zhou Laosan five or six times until he knocked him unconscious.
After learning why his wife and second son were injured, Zhou the eldest son was furious and cursed, "At a time like this, are the third son and his wife out of their minds? How dare they start fighting amongst themselves? If anything happens to either of you, I'll make them pay with their lives."
"This Zhou Laosan acts so recklessly, he'll get someone killed sooner or later. Either someone else will be killed by him, or he'll bring it upon himself. Just wait and see, this kind of person won't have a good ending." Zhao Guihua was furious and wished she could kill that bastard with one blow.
"Zhang Cui is also rotten to the core. This couple is a match made in heaven, black-hearted and rotten to the core."
Zhao Guihua became increasingly angry as she thought about it, and she couldn't stop cursing. "Fortunately, the refugees were driven away at the time, otherwise they would have really been killed by him. The Zhou family is a heartless bunch of beasts who would eat human flesh and drink human blood."
