Seeing Zhou Dong still busying around with a bruised face, although it was his duty to serve and take care of his son, Chaoge still felt a little sympathy for him when she saw his transformation.
If a person does not care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. This is the case for her, a time traveler with countless golden fingers, let alone an ordinary Zhou Dong?
He wasn't an unforgivable criminal, nor did he burn, kill, or rob. When she was still very weak, he didn't ask for favors from her. So, such a person can't be considered a bad person, right?
Especially on the road of fleeing famine, I have seen relatives accusing each other of all kinds of calculations in order to survive, friends stabbing in the back just to snatch a little food, and couples flying away separately when their lives are at stake...
After taking out some blood-activating, blood-stasis-dispersing and pain-relieving medicine from the space, Chaoge entered the house.
There is no need to rush to find Leng Qianrou. First, find out the details of the old woman with a fierce aura mentioned by the shopkeeper next door. Besides, the guards should not be asleep yet, so it is better to be safe than sorry.
After entering the room, several people who had nothing to do and didn't know what to do stood up in unison, except for Leng Xiaoran who was still ignorant and Zhou Daqiang who was on the bed.
"Where have you been, little pigeon?
With what happened just now, won’t we get into trouble?
There are two soldiers in there. Should we leave now?"
Zhou Hehua still didn't know Chaoge well enough, but when the Leng siblings saw how calm she was, they felt relieved from their worries.
Anyway, no matter what, wherever Chaoge is, that is where they feel safe and secure.
They trusted Chaoge unconditionally and believed in Chaoge's ability to handle these troublesome matters.
When I see her, I feel an inexplicable sense of security and peace of mind.
Even if Chaoge can't handle it, they will bear it themselves and will not implicate her.
Zhou Hehua naturally didn't understand. When she thought that there were soldiers among the people killed, she became frightened and panicked.
The people never fight against the officials. It has always been like this.
And they actually killed the officers and soldiers. Even though they didn't do anything, they were just bystanders!
"Don't worry, you didn't kill this person. Since the people who killed them dared to do it, they were able to do it quietly."
After saying that, Chaoge walked towards the bed.
Looking at Zhou Daqiang, who had recovered some of his energy, a smile appeared in his calm eyes.
"Thank you, little dove."
All the gratitude and thousands of words can only be summed up in a simple "thank you".
Zhou Daqiang knew that if Chaoge was not there, not only him, but also his father and sister would be wandering somewhere at this time.
How could there be such a soft bed to sleep on? Such a clean house to live in? Maybe he is already dead, and his father and sister are still hungry...
Perhaps, his sister had been sold, or perhaps his father was devastated by his death and saw no meaning in living anymore.
But his legs are already broken.
But how can I repay Chaoge’s kindness in the future?
Chaoge smiled as she looked at Zhou Daqiang lying on the bed: "You're welcome, Daqiang, you have to be strong. I pulled you back from the gates of hell.
When you are better, good days will come."
Afraid that Zhou Daqiang would have thoughts of suicide because of his legs, Chaoge cheered him up and encouraged him.
Zhou Daqiang nodded with a smile: "Yes, Dad and Hehua told me.
I will be strong. Even if I can no longer stand on my legs, I can still live on with my hands."
Recalling the time before he fell into a coma, his father was carrying him on his back and was so hungry that he could not walk anymore. He fell and even knocked out his teeth. His father had a mouth full of blood. He did not say a word, but still tried to carry him forward.
His feet were rubbed to a bloody mess, and even when he knelt down to kowtow to others, until his head was broken and blood flowed down his cheeks, his father would still do it to get him a bite to eat.
He knew that his chances of survival were almost gone, and that even if a miracle happened, he would be a useless person in the future, but his father did not give up on him...
After going through so many things, Zhou Daqiang, the once high-spirited and straight-backed village chief, truly realized how deep and great his father's love for him was.
He didn't understand it in the peaceful days, but now he understands it. Unfortunately, he has become a burden to his father.
But even so, he has to live on bravely, to illuminate the rest of his father's life, and to add a touch of warmth to his father's rough life.
Chaoge didn't tell Zhou Daqiang that his leg could be almost fully recovered. It was not suitable to have surgery now. It would not be good to give people expectations and make them worry about him all the time.
Besides, any surgery is risky and now is not the right time.
Seeing the light in Zhou Daqiang's eyes, Chaoge also felt relieved.
"There's no rush for your leg. I'll check it out for you once your internal injuries have healed."
Zhou Daqiang had no hope for his legs, so he nodded calmly.
When Zhou Dong came back, he carefully carried a bowl of millet porridge.
He had been gone for quite some time, and this bowl of millet porridge must have been freshly cooked.
"The shopkeeper at Little Pigeon is so easy to talk to. Originally, the waiter said that they only had cold porridge, but when I asked if they had millet porridge, the shopkeeper immediately asked the waiter to take me to make some.
Little Pigeon, do you know this shopkeeper?"
Thinking about the shopkeeper bringing a man into the room and killing those ruffians and officials without saying a word, Zhou Dong couldn't help but feel curious.
"I know the murderer. I met him halfway. The shopkeeper just met him today."
Chaoge did not hide anything and used the most direct words to express Zhou Dong's doubts.
Hearing Chaoge say these calmly, Zhou Dong was indeed shocked.
I thought that Xiaoge was at most the daughter of a wealthy family, but shouldn’t the young ladies and gentlemen from wealthy families be more afraid of such things?
In Zhou Dong's mind, the children of wealthy families all grew up with a silver spoon in their mouths, living a carefree life, and unaware of the sufferings of the world.
But when Chaoge faced the matter of killing the official, her attitude was completely different!
After being shocked, Zhou Dong suddenly remembered what Chaoge had said, and he couldn't help wondering: "By the way, Xiaoge, aren't you and your siblings going to Xilin County?
Did your relatives also flee from the famine?"
"Well, Xilin County was conquered by refugees within a few days, and the city became an empty city. You should have seen it since you came from behind."
"Yes, I thought I could find you guys, but when I got there, the county town was already in a state of disrepair."
"Forget it, I don't have much hope for them anyway.
Here are some hemostatic and stasis-removing medicines, two days' worth, divided into six doses, and the pain in your body will be relieved a little."
