Chapter 242 What I stole is mine
Zhang Shulun's eyes flashed with sadness, "It was my mother who let me escape."
Su Ying raised her eyebrows, "Run for your life?"
Zhang Shulun nodded, "Yes."
"Where are you from?"
"The people from the Taro tribe who had been buying medicinal herbs from my father suddenly brought people to our tribe and wanted to steal the medicinal herbs we had stored. My father and the tribe members disagreed, so we started fighting with them. But, but we were no match for them at all..."
"Your mother let you escape on your own in order to save your life?"
Zhang Shulun nodded, "Yes, but when we got here, it started snowing, so I hid in a cave and fell asleep."
"Are you from the Tarot tribe?" The Orange Protector suddenly spoke.
Zhang Shulun nodded, "Yes."
He was stunned for a moment, then looked at the clothes on the Orange Guardian and suddenly said, "You, you are, you are the Guardian of Tiankui City, the one who came to our tribe to buy medicinal herbs."
The Orange Guardian nodded.
Su Ying was actually quite confused. According to Wei Ji's style, she would rob anything she wanted, but she was actually willing to pay these tribes.
Su Ying came back to her senses and asked, "You mean, someone came to your tribe to steal the medicinal herbs?"
Zhang Shulun nodded and said, "Yes."
"Who is it?"
Zhang Shulun's face became even uglier. "They are from the Southern Kingdom. They suddenly started a war with the Chu Kingdom. As the number of injuries on the border increases, we need medicinal herbs. However, we are going to sell that batch of medicinal herbs to Tiankui City in the spring of next year. Father was unwilling to hand over the medicinal herbs, so they robbed him." As he spoke, he sat up from the ground with strength from nowhere. "No, I can't be a deserter. I have to go back and fight side by side with my father and the others."
Su Ying looked at his thin shoulders and thought that he would be sending himself to death even if he went back. However, if those southerners took away all the medicinal herbs, they would be left with nothing.
In other words, that group of people are now indirectly stealing Su Ying's things!
Su Ying ate the steamed bun, drank a sip of water, and stood up. "You lead the way, I'll go back with you to take a look."
Zhang Shulun was surprised to hear Su Ying said she wanted to go back with him, "No, no, I can't let this matter implicate you."
Su Ying glanced at him and said, "If you don't want to go back to collect the bodies of your parents, just lead the way honestly."
Zhang Shulun panicked when he heard her say that. Su Ying asked Protector Orange to help him onto the carriage, and then tied up two tiger kings and headed towards the Tarot tribe.
The Taro tribe lives on a plain. There are mountains but they are not high. The tribe is located under a small valley.
From a distance, Su Ying could see the buildings at the foot of the mountain.
When Su Ying and the others arrived outside the tribe, they found scattered bloodstains on the ground.
Zhang Shulun's eyes gradually turned red as he looked at the bloodstains on the ground. He staggered off the carriage and rushed in.
Su Ying also jumped off the carriage and followed Zhang Shulun in.
The bloodstains on the ground along the road were clearly visible, and the ears were filled with the whistling cold wind and the wailing and crying coming from far away.
"Mother, Father..." Zhang Shulun rushed all the way into the tribe. When he returned to his home and saw that it was empty with no one in it, he was heartbroken.
He ran out of the house and went to the yard next door, where he saw the old man lying in the snow.
"Aqing Mu, how are you?" Zhang Shulun tried to support himself and help the old man up, but he was very weak to begin with, and running in had already exhausted all his strength, so how could he help an old man?
Just as Zhang Shulun was staggering in a panic, a hand reached out, lifted the old man onto his shoulders and led him into the house.
Zhang Shulun looked at Su Ying gratefully, got up from the ground and followed her into the house.
Su Ying put the old woman down on the bed and checked the wound on her arm.
"Orange Protector, bring my bag here." Before Su Ying went out, she put some medicines that might be needed in a bag so that it would be convenient to take them when needed.
The wound on the old man's arm was obviously caused by a sharp weapon. The wound was very large and deep and needed stitches.
Su Ying used disinfectant to repeatedly clean the wound and began to stop the bleeding and sew stitches. The old woman had no reaction throughout the process due to excessive blood loss. It was not until Su Ying bandaged her wound and fed her medicine that she woke up faintly.
"Aqingmu, you are awake. Where are my mother and father? And my sister, Lingdang and the others are gone too."
After seeing Zhang Shulun clearly, Aqingmu was so excited that he wanted to reach out and push him, "Go, run, don't come back..."
"Old man, those people have already left. Calm down first and tell me what happened?" Su Ying said in a deep voice.
Aqing Mu looked at Su Ying in surprise when she heard her voice. Zhang Shulun explained at the right time: "Amu and the others are from Tiankui City. They heard that our medicinal materials were robbed, so they came to help us."
Aqingmu glanced at Su Ying weakly. The prices given by Tiankui City when purchasing medicinal materials were very low, but at least they were paid in cash. They would not rob people directly like those people.
"They, they stole all the medicinal herbs and women in the tribe. You, you, Afu and the others chased after them..."
"Which direction did you go?"
"The Xingluo tribe, they, they are going to go over there to rob..."
Su Ying turned to Protector Orange and said, "You stay here and take care of the wounded."
The Orange Guardian nodded.
Then he said to Zhang Shulun: "If you know where the Xingluo tribe is, take me there."
"well."
Su Ying threw two energy pills to him and said, "Take two more. Your body is too weak."
Zhang Shulun quickly stuffed two energy pills into his mouth and followed Su Ying out of the tribe.
"Big cat!"
Su Ying called out, and the tiger squatting at the door moved over.
Su Ying asked Zhang Shulun to get in the car, "How do you say we should go?"
"Go straight, keep going down and you will see it."
Su Ying reached out and patted Tiger, then jumped onto the car and said, "Let's go."
The tiger ran in the snow.
On the way, Su Ying could see some bloodstains intermittently.
"Afu, it's Afu and the others!" Zhang Shulun suddenly shouted.
Su Ying also saw someone lying in the snow not far ahead.
She stopped the tiger, turned around and came to the people.
Before the car stopped, Zhang Shulun jumped out and ran to those people.
"Afu, Afu, how are you?" Zhang Shulun picked up a man covered in snow.
Su Ying walked forward and took a quick look. The man had been stabbed in the abdomen and his condition did not look good.
"Get the people into the car first."
Zhang Shulun nodded with sobs, and after carrying the person into the car, he went to check on the others. There were a total of ten people on the ground, and only three were still breathing.
