"Bear with it, it might hurt a little!" Jiang Sui took the medicine bottle and prepared to sprinkle it on his wound.
This is an anti-inflammatory powder. First use it to reduce inflammation on the wound. The bite will hurt at first, and it will also irritate the wound and cause it to bleed again. Then you can sprinkle some hemostatic powder on it.
"Well, come on." For Xiao Hechuan, this little pain was nothing.
Jiang Sui no longer hesitated and fell forward. When the wound came into contact with the medicine powder, it felt extremely painful, as if it was being bitten by ants. Xiao Hechuan frowned slightly.
Blood started to flow out again. Jiang Sui wiped it with a handkerchief, quickly poured on some hemostatic powder, and waited until the bleeding stopped before wrapping it with gauze.
She tied a very beautiful bow, which was very neat. Xiao Hechuan thought it was quite playful and couldn't help but chuckle.
Jiang Sui didn't understand why he was laughing, but soon realized that he was laughing at the bow he tied:
"Well... I'm used to tying it this way. If you think it's inappropriate, can I tie it more sloppily?"
"No, it's fine, thank you." Xiao Hechuan put down his sleeves.
"This dress is dirty, change into a new one!" Jiang Sui saw that the sleeve had been cut and there was a large stain of blood on it.
"Let's change it tomorrow. I'm a little tired and want to sleep for a while!" Xiao Hechuan had exerted a lot of effort tonight and he actually felt tired leaning against the stone wall.
Jiang Sui no longer forced him.
Xiao Qin was annoyed to see so many people tied up outside, so he asked Xiao Hechuan what to do:
"Old Four, what about those people outside? Are we just going to tie them up like this?"
Xiao Hechuan heard this and thought for a moment before saying:
"Let's tie them up first. They are badly injured. I guess they are gangsters from the nearby villages. Now the gates of the towns along the way are closed. We have to hurry and don't have time to deal with these trivial matters. The government won't care either. Let's not waste time. If their injuries are not treated tonight, they will be useless. As for the food outside, it should be from other refugees. We will leave at dawn. As for the rest, it is not our business."
The situation in Jeju is chaotic now. From officials to common people, everyone is struggling to take care of themselves. He could guess with just a thought that the officials in Jeju are probably in a desperate situation.
Although he knew that these gangsters would cause trouble in the future if they were not dealt with, he was nothing now and just wanted to protect his family, so he didn't care about other people's life or death.
Besides, those refugees outside are not worthy of sympathy. I guess they will fight over the food when they enter the forest tomorrow.
Xiao Qin nodded in agreement. After all, his fourth brother was the most sensible, so it would be right to listen to him.
They could have slept well that night, but accidents always happen. At daybreak, the Xiao family set out on their journey. Father Xiao had sprained his waist, so he had to be supported by Mother, so he walked a little slowly.
The seven gangsters at the entrance of the cave had been freezing for half the night and had injuries on their bodies, especially those whose eyes were covered with pepper water. Their eyes were red and swollen like peaches, and they were now tied there powerlessly.
Some of them saw that the Xiao family had left and wanted to ignore them, humming and shouting:
"Don't leave, can you let us go first? We really know we are wrong. We have money on us, can we give it to you?"
They didn't want to be left here. If no one came to rescue them, they would end up being eaten by the wild wolves.
Originally Xiao Hechuan was about to leave, but when he heard what the gangsters said, he turned back. The gangsters thought they saw hope, but Xiao Hechuan just searched them for a long time and took out all the silver and money on them, but he had no intention of letting them go.
Nearly four taels of silver were found on the seven people, most of which should have come from the refugees outside. He put the money into his pocket with peace of mind.
Father Xiao saw this and said:
"Old Four, is this appropriate?"
Jiang Sui thought it was very appropriate, and she took the lead and said:
"If those refugees hadn't given us our hiding place to protect them from disasters in order to ensure their safety, there wouldn't be so many people in our family injured. This money can be regarded as our spiritual compensation plus medical expenses. We are already doing them a favor by not taking the food."
At this moment, the evil intentions of Jiang Sui and Xiao Hechuan reached the same level.
There are no absolutely good people in this world. At least Jiang Sui cannot be called an absolutely good person.
Jiang Sui had already said what Xiao Hechuan wanted to say. He raised his eyebrows with satisfaction and turned to look at Jiang Sui:
“Great minds think alike!”
Afterwards, the two smiled at each other. The feeling of a perfect couple was simply overwhelming. It's true that people from the same family tend to be alike.
What Jiang Sui said made sense. Father Xiao stopped talking and nodded silently. Feeling the pain in his waist, he suddenly felt no guilt.
I used to think that we were all wanderers in this world.
Xiao Hechuan gave the silver to Jiang Sui, who then gave the silver to Xiao's mother:
"Mom, take it. There are plenty of places to spend money in Jeju!"
During this period of time, she kept the gold ingot close to her body and touched it several times every day to make sure it was not lost. It was worth one hundred taels.
Now, the total amount of change that Xiao's mother had on her was as much as thirty taels. After arriving in Jeju and entering the city, they rented a yard to live in first.
…
On the riverbank outside, the refugees trembled in fear all night long. Many of them were injured, and there were wailing sounds everywhere. The food and money had been almost all looted, and no one had anything to eat.
