Chapter 712 Reference
Manbao prescribed some medicine to stop bleeding and dissipate blood stasis. He brewed it himself, then woke Zhou Silang up. After giving him a bowl of medicine, he asked, "Fourth Brother, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
Zhou Silang had just taken the medicine when he felt a bitter taste in his stomach, so for the first time in his life he refused to eat.
Manbao didn't force him. He stuffed a candy into his mouth and let him go to sleep. He also moved the needle in his head and pulled it out.
The next morning, Manbao reluctantly spent 24 points to scan Zhou Silang again. Although it was just basic data, it could show whether there was still bleeding in the brain.
Seeing that there was only lingering blood clots and no further bleeding, Manbao breathed a sigh of relief. All that was left was to take good care of the patient.
Aunt Rong was very thoughtful and made him a bowl of shredded chicken porridge. Knowing that he loved meat, she tore off a large bowl of shredded chicken and threw it to him. Then she put half of the shredded chicken in his bowl, and the others only got a small bowl of shredded chicken porridge.
Zhou Silang ate while expressing his gratitude, "Aunt Rong, next time you need something, just call me and I will definitely get it done for you!"
"Just get better soon and help me send the things back to my husband and son," Aunt Rong sighed. "Your injury will keep you from traveling for at least three or two months. I just made a set of winter clothes for my husband and son, hoping you could bring them back for me next time you go back."
Zhou Silang: "Don't worry, Aunt Rong, I'll be fine soon."
"Miss Man said you need to rest for at least two months. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. You have broken bones, so two months is not much of a stretch."
Zhou Silang was also sad and agonized, "It's over. I just agreed to County Magistrate Tang's request and even signed a contract. What should I do now?"
As he was speaking, County Magistrate Tang arrived.
Manbao and his group were having breakfast when County Magistrate Tang suddenly arrived. Even Mr. Zhuang was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "Would County Magistrate Tang like to sit down and eat something?"
Just as County Magistrate Tang was about to refuse, he smelled a fragrant scent and suddenly felt a little hungry after having already eaten breakfast.
So he smiled and nodded.
Manbao and the other three who were sitting at the table immediately stood up and made room for him.
County Magistrate Tang sat down, just below Mr. Zhuang and above Manbao.
Zhou Lijun had already put down his bowl and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to help him make porridge. He asked casually, "I heard that your fourth brother was robbed and seriously injured?"
Manbao nodded immediately and recounted her fourth brother's injuries, emphasizing the wound on his head. "It's okay if his arm is broken. It can be reattached. The pain will only last for three or two months at most. But with the bleeding in his head, and him being on the road, he's so dizzy, you don't know when he'll pass out. They're simply out to get his money and kill him!"
County Magistrate Tang frowned and asked, "Were all the wheat seeds on the cart stolen?"
Manbao nodded and said, "That's right. Not only the wheat seeds, but also the things our family brought us were stolen."
"Where's the horse?"
"The horse and the carriage are in good condition."
County Magistrate Tang lowered his eyes and said, "Then it wasn't the work of bandits or vagrants, otherwise they wouldn't want the horses."
The value of a horse is much more valuable than the wheat seeds on the cart, but if you are not a bandit or a migrant worker, you cannot hide the stolen horse.
Raising cattle requires reporting to the government office, let alone raising horses.
Horses were considered wartime supplies, and in the event of war, the government might even forcibly requisition them. Therefore, the imperial court had strict control over horses, and raising a horse was more expensive than raising an adult.
So most people can't afford to keep a horse.
The normal circulation of horses was controlled by the imperial court. If they did not rob the horses, it was obvious that they could not handle it.
County Magistrate Tang immediately knew where to investigate.
Just then Zhou Lijun brought up the porridge.
County Magistrate Tang asked, "Is your fourth brother awake now?"
"Yeah, I'm eating too."
County Magistrate Tang was relieved and said with a smile, "Then I'll go ask him some questions after breakfast."
It's nothing more than asking him on which road he was robbed, how many people were there in total, what clothes and shoes the robbers were wearing, how tall they were, and whether he can remember what the robbers looked like.
Although Zhou Silang had a headache, he still thought carefully and found that he still remembered the appearance of one or two people.
Although the incident happened suddenly, he had walked this road from Qili Village to Yizhou City so many times. Although the sudden appearance of the person scared him, it did not make him panic. So he saw clearly the person who suddenly appeared and blocked his way.
Chaos ensued only after the car stopped. Suddenly, more than a dozen people rushed out from both sides of the woods, and one of them reached out and pulled him down.
He didn't remember the man, but he remembered that he was kicked in the waist and he was so angry that he grabbed the man under him and beat him.
Zhou Silang's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Yes, I punched one of them twice, leaving a wound on his face. Sir, as long as you find the one with the facial injury, you will definitely find them."
County Magistrate Tang nodded and said, "Since you can remember the appearance of these two people, I will ask the painter to come over and you can cooperate with him to draw their appearance."
Bai Shan immediately said, "I'll do it!"
Manbao nodded immediately, his eyes shining as he said, "Shanbao is really good at drawing."
County Magistrate Tang became interested and said with a smile, "Really? Then I'll have to take a good look at it."
Manbao ran to get him some writing brush and ink, while Bai Shanze and Bai Er brought in a small table. After spreading out the paper, they said, "Brother Zhou Si, you can talk about the first person first."
Zhou Silang gritted his teeth and said, "With a pointed mouth, monkey cheeks, and a ferocious face, you can tell at first glance that he's a villain."
Bai Shan paused holding the pen, looked up at him, and remained silent.
County Magistrate Tang: ...He is wrong. It is not Bai Shan who is unreliable, but the person lying on the bed.
Manbao resisted the urge to pat Fourth Brother and said, "Fourth Brother, can you be more specific? Um, what do his eyebrows look like?"
Zhou Silang frowned and thought, "Aren't all eyebrows the same? Just dark... Hmm? It seems that they are not dark, a little lighter, definitely not as thick as Lord Tang's, nor as long. Here, here, they are a little flat..."
Zhou Silang looked at County Magistrate Tang and made gestures with his eyebrows.
Bai Shan leaned forward and carefully examined Magistrate Tang's eyebrows, then frowned and drew two eyebrows on the painting...
Manbao continued to ask: "What about the nose?"
Zhou Silang started to have a headache. "There are only two holes in the nose. Who has three holes?"
Manbao knew that people with brain injuries usually had bad tempers, so she didn't mind at all. After holding her breath, she asked carefully, "Is it tall? Is it straight? Are your nostrils big?"
Zhou Silang subconsciously looked at County Magistrate Tang again.
There was no way. Among the people in the room, only County Magistrate Tang was about the same age as the robbers, and Bai Erlang and the others were too young.
"Not tall, not as tall as County Magistrate Tang. His nostrils are small, flat, and short here too."
Bai Shan continued to move closer to look at County Magistrate Tang's nose...
County Magistrate Tang barely managed to hold back his anger and stared at Bai Shan.
