The two quickly did as instructed. They both knew that the reason their family hadn't fallen apart was because this seemingly insignificant girl had paid almost the ultimate price.
Lu Tu put the dagger that hadn't been used in a long time into the fire pit and heated it until it was red-hot, while saying to Qin Qianqian, "Qianqian, you haven't told me what kind of person your brother is yet. Tell me about him."
Qin Qianqian knew that Lu Tu wanted her not to close her eyes. Her gaze gradually became unfocused, as if she was recalling something. Excessive blood loss also made her mind numb and slow.
After a long silence, she finally spoke: "My brother is the person who loves me the most in the world besides my parents..." She said each word with great emphasis, and Song Yuxi and Nangong Huiyu, who were busy working nearby, couldn't help but burst into tears.
Lu Tu then instructed Song Yuxi to throw the cotton cloth into the boiling water to cook it, saying, "Give her the garlic extract first!"
Nangong Huiyu brought it over and fed it to her.
Then, with Lü Tu's help, he helped Qin Qianqian up, handed her a wooden stick to hold in her mouth, and solemnly said, "Qianqian, bear with it!"
Qin Qianqian swallowed hard and nodded resolutely.
Lu Tu used a dagger to cut off the end with the arrowhead, and then quickly pulled out the arrow.
"Ugh!" Qin Qianqian's forehead instantly broke out in fine beads of sweat, and a large amount of blood gushed from the wound on her chest before she completely lost consciousness.
"cotton!"
Song Yuxi used chopsticks to scoop out the cotton cloth, squeezed it dry without caring that it was hot, and handed it to Lü Tu.
Lu Tu pressed down firmly on Qin Qianqian's wounds, front and back, with cotton cloth; this was the only way to stop the bleeding at this point.
After an incense stick's time, the bleeding finally stopped. Just as Lü Tu was about to apply medicine and bandage Qin Qianqian, a commotion of horses' hooves came from outside. Lü Tu frowned and looked at Song Yuxi and Nangong Huiyu: "You two use strong liquor to clean around her wound. If there is any rotten flesh, remove it with a dagger and then apply a ring of garlic extract."
After getting up, she looked at Nangong Huiyu and said, "Yuxi will apply the medicine to Xiaoyu later. I'll go out and take a look."
"Husband, be careful!"
With a fierce expression, Lü Tu grabbed his sword and bow and went out the door, grabbing a soldier who ran up to him and asking, "What's going on?"
"Reporting to the Captain, the border troops from Huai Shuo Town have arrived, saying they are here to help us deal with the bandits. Squad Leader Nie Yun is currently confronting them."
"Damn it!" Lu Tu looked at the large group of people in the distance. He had just made an enemy of Yuan Xu not long ago, and now that he had just dealt with the White Lotus assassins, they had arrived. If this was all a coincidence, even a three-year-old child would not believe it!
Lu Tu waved to Liu Yang, who was some distance away, and said, "You don't need to come along. You take some men and guard this place!"
"It's Big Brother!" Liu Yang and Liu Hu stopped in their tracks upon hearing this, and called over a few men to stand guard in the courtyard of Lu Tu's house with knives.
Lu Tu turned around and patted Liu Yang on the shoulder: "Thanks, brother. We owe you a lot today."
Liu Yang said coldly, "Brother, there's no need for further words. You saved our lives."
Lu Tu nodded, stopped trembling and ran forward. He whistled and Xiao Hei also darted out from the side. As he ran, Lu Tu grabbed the saddle, flipped himself up, and galloped forward.
The leader of the Huai Shuo border army this time looks somewhat similar to Yuan Xu from a while ago, so there must be a connection between them!
"How dare you! I am here on the orders of the Commandant to suppress the bandits, and you won't let me pass?"
"Your Wuchuan border army is incompetent. Not only can you not deal with the Wuhuan people, but you can't even wipe out a bunch of petty bandits. Why don't you let us take over this place?"
"Get out of here! Are you trying to force us to take action?"
Faced with this situation again, Nie Yun immediately drew his sword and held it across his chest: "Bullshit! This is the land that Commandant Wuchuan allocated to my Lord Lü Tu. What are you Huai Shuo Border Army soldiers?"
"If you want to enter the village, you'll have to step over my dead body!"
As Nie Yun roared, the soldiers and villagers who had just finished their fierce battle all gripped their weapons in righteous indignation and glared angrily at the Huai Shuo border army.
Yuan Lang laughed in anger: "How dare you! I thought Lu Tu was already incredibly audacious, daring to break my brother's leg, but I never expected that you peasants would dare to draw your swords against me? Men, kill them all, and then continue the bandit suppression!"
Having suffered a setback at the coal mine last time, the Huai Shuo border troops finally had a leader this time and were able to avenge their previous defeat. They all drew their swords, and a tense battle was about to break out between the two sides.
At that moment, Lu Tu's angry shout came from afar: "You brat from the Yuan family, are you courting death?"
Yuan Lang looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lü Tu, covered in blood, rushing towards them like a god of death with bloodshot eyes.
And he had already raised the bow on his back and aimed it at him. Yuan Lang had originally planned to take advantage of the chaos to retaliate, but who would have thought that Lu Tu would shoot an arrow at him without saying a word?
He quickly turned his horse around, trying to hide behind the crowd, and shouted, "You dare to attack and kill your colleague! This is tantamount to treason and you deserve to die!"
Lu Tu didn't bother to waste words with him and shot an arrow that pierced the head of the man in front of Yuan Lang.
The two sides were already highly charged, and this arrow acted as a fuse, completely triggering the war!
Nie Yun took the lead and charged straight at Yuan Lang. He had been eyeing this guy for a long time. Last time Yuan Xu ridiculed him, and this time Yuan Lang did it again. Did he really think he was a pushover?
"You dare?"
"What is there that Grandpa wouldn't dare to do?"
The Huai Shuo border troops, including Yuan Lang, never expected that the enemy would dare to charge into the enemy lines despite being outnumbered. They were reminded of the intimidation Lü Tu had inflicted on them that day.
Especially when they saw the group of wounded soldiers behind Nie Yun, whose fighting spirit soared to the heavens, their killing intent undiminished, charging towards them with a fearless determination, they were terrified!
Lu Tu is the spiritual totem of our side. As long as he is present, everyone will become brave and fearless!
"I'm not even afraid of the Wuhuan people, why would I be afraid of a bunch of trash like you?"
"kill!"
The remaining hundred or so veterans beside him charged forward together, led by Lü Tu.
The Huai Shuo border troops were already incompetent; if it weren't for the fierce battle that Lü Tu's side had just fought, they would have been no match for them at all.
With his sword in hand, Lü Tu moved as if he were in an empty field, and with just one charge, he threw the well-prepared Huai Shuo border army into chaos!
At this moment, Nie Yun was also engaged in a fierce battle with Yuan Lang, the two fighting evenly on horseback.
While Lu Tu was fighting in the battle, he suddenly saw Liu Hong and others, all wounded and bound, lying on the ground behind the Huai Shuo border army, constantly wriggling towards them.
Enraged, Lü Tu killed his way through the crowd in no time, and arrived at Liu Hong and the others, severing their hands and feet with a single stroke.
Liu Hong exclaimed excitedly, "Sir, while we were chasing Xu Jing, those bastards from Huai Shuo suddenly barged in and tied us up! They just let Xu Jing run south!"
Lu Tu looked at Yuan Lang, who was fighting with Nie Yun, and shouted, "You actually colluded with the White Lotus Cult! If we don't kill you today, it would be a disgrace to the prestige of the Wuchuan Border Army!"
