Why not leave in Chapter 1689?
Upon hearing this, the bandit nearly jumped up in anger. "Treate your wounds? Are you crazy? Although things are chaotic outside now, they will soon calm down. When that happens, the higher-ups will definitely think that the release of wild beasts is suspicious. They will investigate and search the entire black market. At that time, it will be difficult for you to even hide, let alone leave."
Wow, it's rare to see him so clear-headed, and his logic is flowing smoothly.
Seeing that they were unmoved, the bandits continued to urge them, "And your uncle, he's so badly injured, we need to get him to a doctor as soon as possible. The medicine you have can only help in an emergency, not save his life. You should hurry up and get him to a doctor, don't delay."
Meng Yunzheng remained silent. Should he go out to find a doctor? In Chenggu County, there really wasn't a doctor or pharmacy that could provide medicine more effective than the one given by Zhao Xi and Old Master Zhao.
If the medicine he gave to Uncle Meng couldn't save his life, going out to find a doctor might not be effective either.
Moreover, although he and Meng Pei were not doctors, the father and son had each followed Master Zhao's apprentice for many years, so they were no strangers to the treatment of internal and external injuries, and were better than ordinary barefoot doctors.
They could take Uncle Meng away now, but the bandits were right; the release of wild beasts would definitely alert the black market's leader to the intrusion. They would search the black market and discover that they came down from the secret passage in the mansion.
With the secret passage exposed and Uncle Meng rescued, the black market leader won't know who did it. They'll notify the magistrate of Chenggu County to launch a thorough crackdown on the Meng family.
Therefore, even if they escaped the black market, they could not escape Chenggu County.
Rather than doing that, they might as well do something in this black market, since once they leave, they might not be able to come back in next time.
The bandits grew increasingly agitated and were about to say something when Shu Yu suddenly interrupted them, "The noise outside seems to be subsiding."
The people in the room were slightly taken aback and turned their heads to listen carefully.
Indeed, the roars of wild beasts and the screams of people that used to fill the air were now almost inaudible.
Young Master He asked in a low voice, "Have they all gone somewhere else?"
Meng Pei cautiously opened the door and looked outside, his expression tense. "It seems the people in the black market have realized what's happening. Some of those beasts are dead, some are tied up, and some have escaped to other places."
He glanced back at Meng Yunzheng and Uncle Meng and said, "I'm going out to check the situation."
"Father, let me go. You're still injured."
Meng Pei was about to say it was alright when he saw Xia Yi rushing over with two water bottles in her arms.
Without saying anything, he quickly opened the door, let the person in, and then locked the door behind him.
Xia Yi let out a breath, put the water bottles on the ground, and said to them, "The other things are hard to carry, so these two water bottles are more convenient. They don't have much water, but you'll have to make do with them. Oh, and this is a clean cloth, but Chief Escort Meng has too many wounds, so we don't have enough for bandaging."
"Thank you." Meng Yunzheng took the food, fed it to his uncle a couple of times, and then treated his wounds.
Seeing the mangled, bloody mess on his body, Meng Yunzheng's face darkened, and his lips tightened into a clenched fist. That Jiang Kuanyu, he truly deserves to die.
Meng Pei took a deep breath. "That bastard Jiang Kuanyu, he better pray he gets bitten to death by two jackals, otherwise I will never let him go and will make him pay for these injuries tenfold or a hundredfold."
