[The old ghost doctor is really cunning. He doesn't even know his last name, but he can still say such things. Hehe, he is really thick-skinned and has a strong mental quality.]
Su Mibao rolled his eyes at the ghost doctor.
The ghost doctor suddenly felt as if a pair of eyes were looking at him.
I looked around and didn't notice anything unusual. However, I just had a lingering, strange feeling in my heart.
"Godly doctor, can you please take a look at our son? Please, Godly doctor, as long as you can save my son, I will give you whatever you want."
The ghost doctor looked at Lu Huifen who rushed over again with disdain, then turned and left.
"Officer, I will bandage your wounds right away. Find someone to help me and pound the herbs for me."
The ghost doctor walked very fast, as if there was a ghost chasing him.
Lu Huifen ran forward two more steps, but she didn't dare to chase after them. She was afraid that the officers would just take their knives and chop her to death.
"Boss, how do we divide the prey?"
Wu Hai looked at Zhou Fuan and said, "Many of our prisoners are injured. After our officers have taken care of them, should we ask the doctor to check on them as well?"
Wu Hai emphasized the words "our prisoners", and then his eyes intentionally or unintentionally turned to the distant hillside, glancing at Ji Tai and others who had just come down and were walking towards this side.
"Or should we discuss it with Inspector Ji and Inspector Lu before dividing it?"
Give them points?
discuss?
The smile on Zhou Fuan's face disappeared, and his cheeks were sore from biting his teeth.
It was so dangerous just now, and almost all of the thirty or so officers were injured. He begged Ji Tai and Lu Zan for help, but Ji Tai refused to lend a hand.
If the Su family had not intervened, these thirty or so officers would probably have died tragically at the hands of these beasts.
After this incident, Zhou Fuan deeply realized that the relationship between them, the officials and the exiles, seemed to be an antagonistic one, that of escorting and being escorted.
In fact, it is a relationship of life and death.
If the exiled prisoners died or escaped, they would be in trouble.
Once their officials died or disappeared, the exiles would forever become blind migrants without household registration.
It was precisely because he understood this deeper meaning that Su Zhenbei saved them and exiled the prisoners despite his serious injuries.
Looking back at Ji Tai and Lu Zan, one of them was from the Imperial Guards and the other from the Zhaowei, and they had no direct relationship with the Ministry of Justice.
After all, he was from the Ministry of Justice, and was not under the jurisdiction of these two departments. So what if Ji Tai and Lu Zan had higher official positions than him? They were not his direct superiors, and in the end, they had no control over him.
"Brothers, take off the tiger skin for me."
Ji Tai waved his hand and pointed at the wolves and wild boars and said, "We don't want the wolves anymore. Bring us a few wild boars. Bring us a few more so we can have a good meal tonight."
At this point, Ji Tai turned around and glanced at Lu Zan who was following closely behind him, "I remember there are two cooks among the prisoners. Call them over and ask them to cook. Then pickle a few heads with salt and leave them for the brothers to eat in the mountains in the next few days."
Ji was cursing and swearing;
"Damn it, I've lost everything. My mouth is almost dry."
"Should we ask the prisoners to clean up some wolf corpses?"
Lu Zan looked at the wolf corpses on the ground. They would not eat these things because the meat was smelly. As for the wolf skin, they did not know how to make it with saltpeter. They would only stay for a few more days. Once they got out of the forest and reached Yangcheng, they could return after completing their mission.
Listening to Ji Tai talking about these prey recklessly, taking it for granted, Zhou Fuan's face became uglier.
This was the first time that he stopped smiling at Ji Tai and Lu Zan.
"We killed the tiger and the wild boar. Commander Ji, your imperial guards are well-equipped, unlike us who are poorly equipped. Now we are running out of food."
"Commander Ji, Commander Lu, you two sirs, you won't fight with us little officials for food, right?"
The corners of his mouth turned up, but he didn't smile. "If the two adults want to rob, then we only have a broken knife and a bunch of wounded soldiers. We really can't rob them."
These words are really harsh to hear.
Ji Tai had never heard of these words. He glared at Zhou Fuan with dissatisfaction, "You must have taken the wrong medicine. Why are you suddenly talking so weirdly? There are so many preys. Can you, more than 30 people, eat them all? Besides, we shot and killed many gray wolves before."
Under normal circumstances, Ji Tai would naturally disdain to talk to these low-ranking officials.
But now, thinking about it, they were indeed in the wrong. After all, they ignored Zhou Fuan when he asked for help.
"Wu Hai, take a few people and check which prey have arrows from the adults on them. All prey belongs to the adults. The rest are what we hunted, and no one should be left behind. Take them all to our camp."
"you--"
Ji Tai stared.
Zhou Fuan didn't say anything, just smiled, but that smile was devoid of any warmth.
[Why are you being so arrogant? If I had died just now, it would have been all your fault. You still have the nerve to come and steal my prey. Ugh! None of the Imperial Guards and the Zhaowei have any shame.]
Zhou Fuan suddenly thought that if Chu Mingyang was here, and Ji Tai stood aside and watched during the crisis just now, Chu Mingyang would definitely jump up and scold Ji Tai's entire family, including the imperial guards. At this moment, Ji Tai stole the prey, and Chu Mingyang must be so angry with Ji Tai that he would dig a hole and bury himself.
"Wu Hai, we only need to take ten wild boars and the tiger. The rest can be divided among our prisoners."
Wu Hai was a smart man. When he heard this, he immediately turned around and shouted at the prisoners,
"It's time to divide the meat. Bring ten wild boars to our camp. The rest are all yours."
After hearing this, the exiled prisoners could no longer stand. Regardless of gender, age or status, they all swarmed over, carrying or dragging the prisoners.
"Zhou Fuan, you are so cruel. Just wait for me."
Mrs. Ji had never suffered such a loss before, and her face became even darker with anger.
"Whoever grabs it first gets it."
He turned around and waved at the prisoners. They were stunned for a moment, and then rushed towards the prey like crazy.
Soon the exiles and the prisoners began to fight each other.
Along the way, the exiles were very afraid of the criminals. But now, they had nothing to eat and were starving to death, so they didn't care whether the criminals were scary or not.
Men have their own tricks, women have their own tricks, and children have their own tricks.
Although the exiles seemed weak, they were mostly a family and united. The criminals were young and strong, but they fought alone. For a while, the two sides were tied in the fight.
Half an hour later, the new camp was set up.
The campsite Zhou Fuan chose this time had a good location, next to a steep slope with water on the other side, and then he had people dig a trap in front.
Everyone built their own hut.
After a while, the smell of meat wafted over the camp.
After so many days of exile, the exiles could not even get enough black dough to eat every day, let alone meat, they had never seen even a drop of oil.
“There are lots of wild boars and gray wolves.”
"When I was pulling them just now, I counted them. There were thirty-two wild boars and thirty-six wolves."
"It's a lot of meat. The officer even picked five women to make salt meat for them."
