The Du family guards quickly disappeared back into the mountains. They could only see the villagers surrounding the young man as he headed into the village, and then they could see and hear nothing more.
It's obvious without even thinking that this young man must be someone in the Jiang family!
The master said that Jiang had two sons. The elder son had died young, and the younger son was already over twenty years old, not this age.
The remaining one is undoubtedly Nie Fantian.
The Du family guards were overjoyed. It was like finding a needle in a haystack. As long as they captured the boy and took him away, their master's business would be done.
He was excited and even had the urge to climb over the wall in front of him, but he was soaked to the bone and gradually became shivering with cold. He dared not risk going in again and could only keep the medicine shop in his mind before heading towards Pear Blossom Town along the path.
Meanwhile, the village was still in a state of panic. Apart from a few pursuers, the rest of the villagers gathered under the drying shed, looking lost and discussing amongst themselves.
Koizumi and his friends ran around in the rain, checking their surroundings, and no adults bothered to scold them.
Xu Genbao, who was the first to fall, has been rescued and is now lying on a bamboo recliner.
His clothes had a tear in the abdomen, revealing half of his belly, turning it into a crop top.
It looked frightening, but it was a close call. He had a rake in his hand to stop it, and he fell down just in time, the dagger passing by his stomach.
It was just a thin line of blood on the skin, glistening with droplets of blood... The wound wasn't deep, but it hurt terribly.
He then resumed speaking normally, and was talking to Wang Xiaoju and Liu Shi with a sigh on his face.
He wasn't pretending to be lying on the ground; he was genuinely terrified.
Liu and Wang Xiaoju were also relieved that no one was hurt.
Xu Genyou ran around, preparing to carry him home.
There were also a few people sitting under the drying shed talking loudly. They had all twisted their ankles and fallen while running, but their injuries were not serious.
Everyone has experienced the life of a refugee, so we can still endure this much. We are only angry because a bandit suddenly appears in broad daylight.
The worst off was Li Laoshi. He had been so menacing during the fight, but now all his bravado was gone. He was lying on the bed, yelling like a pig being slaughtered: "Ouch! Sister-in-law Qin, be gentle!"
The village was in chaos; some were injured, some fainted at the sight of blood, and there were hardly any people left who could get anything done.
Li Laoshi had people taking care of him: Wu Yang was fetching water and medicine, and the other person was Qin Shi.
Qin used a wet wipe to clean the bloodstains from Li Laoshi's arm. Seeing him howling so loudly, she couldn't help but slap him on the lower back: "What are you yelling about, you big man? Even if it hurts, just bear it. We can only apply the medicine after it's clean!"
Li Laoshi was startled by the slap, and immediately began to tremble violently. He grabbed a piece of cloth, put it in his mouth, and mumbled, "Okay, I won't shout. Be gentle, be gentle."
He wanted to say, "Be gentle! Don't slap my kidney off," but he didn't dare.
At this moment, Qin was being fierce, and he didn't even have the strength to resist. If he were to be hit a few more times, he would have nowhere to seek justice.
Li Laoshi cried out in pain, and this was not just him being dramatic.
The guard from the Du family stabbed him squarely in the shoulder with his dagger, leaving a hole, but fortunately, it didn't break the bone.
It's still bleeding, so you need to apply medicine to stop it quickly.
Herbal remedies for colds and external wound medicines are always kept in the storeroom, so anyone in the village who catches a cold, has a fever, or suffers from a minor bump or bruise can use them.
Qin cursed Li Laoshi, but her grip was still lighter. She took the medicine powder that Wu Yang took out from the storeroom, applied it to her face, and prepared to find another cloth bag to wrap it up.
Li Laoshi's place was a mess, like a doghouse, and he couldn't find any cloth. Qin Shi casually pulled the piece of cloth that Li Laoshi was biting away from him, but when she saw it, her face turned red: "Li Laoshi, you're biting your underwear!"
Li Laoshi blushed, ignoring the pain in his shoulder, and quickly snatched the underwear back, stuffing it under the mat while explaining, "It's clean, it's clean, I just put it away, I took the wrong one!"
The atmosphere was a little awkward, but fortunately Wu Yang, who was standing next to them, didn't say much and quietly took the basin of water away from the room.
The awkwardness quickly passed, and Qin casually wrapped Li Laoshi's handkerchief around his neck with her own.
Xiaoman, Tian Gui, Xu Gensheng, and the others searched the village inside and out before returning to the warehouse to inquire about the specific situation.
Once the pain subsided, Li Laoshi became smug again. He first showed everyone his injuries, then raised his head and said, "Who am I? I'm a genuine honest man. I speak the truth. Living in the same village is fate, and I should help when I need to."
He has the strength to fight a horse and the generosity to hold a boat; he never does anything half-hearted or lazy.
We're all acquaintances, practically family. Everyone knows what kind of person Li Laoshi is, how cunning he is.
It's quite unexpected that someone who's good at doing the bare minimum and has the best way to talk would suddenly step up at a crucial moment.
At this moment, he was naturally praised: "Luckily you were there to hold things up back then, otherwise Genbao would definitely have been in trouble!"
The dagger had already slashed through; if we patched it up, it would create a hole.
Li Laoshi readily accepted everyone's praise, and said with a crooked smile, "Even pigs and dogs know how to guard their nests, let alone people who need to take care of their families."
I, Li Laoshi, have finally found a place to settle down, and anyone who tries to destroy it is trying to cut off my path to honesty.
He told the truth that pigs and dogs really guard their kennels, especially Peppa Pig; if you take even a single blade of grass from its kennel, it will chase after you to get it back.
"Hehe, honest guy, you're a wanderer who doesn't know how to protect your home? You're probably just a ghost!"
Although Xu Gensheng was satisfied with Li Laoshi's behavior, he couldn't control his mouth and had to argue back.
Li Laoshi, a habitual liar, rarely spoke the truth, and was instead ridiculed. He immediately blushed, glared, and started arguing with the person...
Xiaoman wasn't in the mood to listen to their nonsense.
Li Laoshi had spoken with the man impersonating his nephew "Jiang Dabao" before and had figured out his intentions; he kept mentioning his "cousin" at home.
Judging from the bandit's words, the two cousins were Errui and Nie Fantian.
Xiao Tian has already left, but Er Rui is still on the mountain, and someone is targeting him.
Xiaoman immediately braved the rain to return to the mountain, as he needed to tell Aunt Jiang what was about to happen.
However, no one dared to leave the pharmacy unattended; the warehouse was filled with prepared powders, ready to be delivered to the Huo family's pharmacy for sale after the holiday.
So they sent Tian Gui, Wu Yang, and Xu Gensheng to guard the area.
Xiaoman also said that if anyone comes again, don't think about fighting them head-on, just run through the small door in the back wall.
These were originally Aunt Jiang's words to him: people are more important than anything else; if something happens, saving your life is the most important thing.
Tian Gui and his companions were very familiar with the pharmacy, and they had even personally built those hidden doors. They immediately went to the pharmacy.
Xiaoman has returned to the mountain.
Liu and Pi and a few others gathered together again, saying that they would go to the city to find Xu Xiaogu when the weather cleared up, to ask her if she had sent someone to cause trouble, and to demand an explanation.
This time, Xu Changming insisted on going no matter what: "You women are too weak. You even ask questions when someone is riding on your neck and defecating on you! Just wait and see, I'll slap her man a few times when I see him."
