Jiang Qiao snorted, "This woman has a clever scheme; she kills two birds with one stone."
Actually, it wasn't a big deal. Although the third son of the Chu family came to help the enemy set up their formation, he didn't harm any villagers or others, nor did he make things difficult for anyone. Besides, he was only threatened and bribed by others.
To put it bluntly, the Chu family members were also hostages, threatened by others. In that situation, survival was the top priority. We can't say that the Japanese captured civilians to work with, and then turn around and call those civilians traitors, right? That doesn't make sense. What do you think?
Moreover, with this formation in place, at least the villagers working in the fields weren't taken hostage by the enemy. In a way, the old man protected them.
Cao Mingyuan and Liu Zhanyu exchanged a smile. "That's a good idea. We were worried about that before. Xiao Song, let's follow Jiang Qiao's approach. Chu Laosan hasn't done anything bad, so a little education will suffice. If you're still worried, have the local authorities keep an eye on him."
This person isn't cunning; he just has the heart of a loving father.
Everyone here is intelligent; they can't possibly be unaware of what the enemy is planning.
The reason they wanted to bring down the Chu family was because the Chu family members were getting in their way.
After reaching an agreement, Liu Zhanyu and the others went back to rest first. Song Shutian mentioned to Jiang Qiao the things that enemy agents had done in the Northwest.
"That explains why they did it."
Song Shutian sighed, "That's why we can't let the enemy lead us by the nose. If we fall into their trap, we'll be the ones who suffer, especially since things aren't peaceful there right now."
Jiang Qiao nodded knowingly. "I understand. I'll talk to Master Hou and Brother Chunming about this later."
After receiving Jiang Qiao's instructions early the next morning, Hou Diankui and the others felt that it was nothing serious.
"Alright, we got it. Chunming, you remember this too—"
Chunming smiled innocently, "Master, don't worry, I'm not a talkative person. I forgot about this matter, and I'll say I don't know if anyone asks me."
When the backup arrived, with professionals present, Jiang Qiao and her group began packing up to prepare for their evacuation.
Taking advantage of this free time, she went into the mountains to collect a lot of medicinal herbs, including some varieties that were not in her spatial storage.
Although you can buy them at the hospital, if you encounter an emergency, it's not always timely to buy them. It's better to have more on hand and plant some in your online space, at least it will be convenient for you.
As for that laboratory, she had said everything she needed to say and done everything she could. She just hoped that the data could be destroyed. She really didn't care about the Japanese experiments.
Based solely on the first volume of the book on witch medicine and other materials, it's wishful thinking that these people could research such a medicine.
Although she hadn't fully grasped the internal cultivation methods of the witch doctor, the heavenly doctor, and the Heavenly Doctor Sect, she understood that it was a systematic system. You couldn't do without any part of it, and it wasn't something that could be achieved overnight. It was impossible to reach the peak of physical strength just by taking medicine.
In addition, she was also wondering what exactly happened to this grandmaster back then, why he didn't explain these things to his disciples, or whether the grandmaster had another meaning.
For the time being, she couldn't find an answer to this question. The only explanation she could come up with was that the three disciples hadn't joined forces. If they had, the Heavenly Medicine Sect wouldn't have fallen to such a state.
The villagers gave Jiang Qiao and his group a warm send-off as they left, saying, "Our benefactors! Who knows when we'll see them again?"
Although these villagers were not wealthy, they took out the few good things they had and stuffed them into everyone's pockets. Despite everyone's repeated refusals, they still couldn't resist the villagers' hospitality.
As Jiang Qiao waved goodbye to everyone, she said to Hou Diankui, "If you get tired of living in our county town, you can settle down here. This place is not bad; at least it's quiet, and most people really can't find it."
"Master Hou, what are your plans now, going back or what?"
Hou Diankui sighed, "We can't go back yet. I need to take Chunming to continue training. Jiang Qiao, when do you plan to go back?"
As Jiang Qiao walked, he said, "After I come down the mountain and finish up what I need to do, I plan to take care of some things before I go see my Grandpa Qiao and the others..."
Upon learning the location of the two old men, Hou Diankui couldn't help but admire how open-minded Qiao Jie and Ma Liu were.
"These two are really something, they're not afraid of getting tired, they can come all this way, I really admire them."
"We'll talk about it when we get back. Tell Chunming's mother that her son is fine and she shouldn't worry."
Chunming handed Jiang Qiao a letter directly: "Tell my mom not to worry about me. I'll mail her things wherever I go. This is the money I've earned. Tell her not to be stingy with the money. I'll earn even more money for her to spend in the future."
Jiang Qiao was surprised that Chunming was making money. "Wow, that's impressive, Master Hou. My brother Chunming, are you practically a semi-professional now?"
Hou Diankui glanced at his apprentice and nodded in satisfaction. "Chunming is very dedicated and hardworking. Don't let his poor academic performance fool you; he learns this quite quickly."
Chunming scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Master, I know I'm slow, but I also know that even a slow bird has to fly first. I don't know if I can reach your level, but I will try my best to keep up with you."
As the Third Master of the Chu family said, he's not very bright, but as long as you put your heart into understanding and learning, there's nothing you can't learn well.
Hou Diankui patted his apprentice on the shoulder and said, "With your dedication and perseverance, I believe my apprentice will also achieve great things in the future."
However, no matter what, you must maintain a kind heart and not use it to do evil. If others can't punish you, Heaven will.
"Master, I remember—"
Upon arriving at their destination, Jiang Qiao and Hou Diankui rested for a night. Meanwhile, Song Shutian received a telegram from Jiang Jinyu, instructing him to release the Chu family members and send them back. The telegram did not specify the reason, only stating that the local authorities would take over the matter.
The next morning, Hou Diankui and his group said goodbye to Song Shutian and his group. The Chu family, including the grandfather and grandson, also left with them.
The Chu family children even invited Jiang Qiao over to play.
"I will definitely go there when I have the chance. Let's keep in touch by letter when we have time."
"Old Master Chu, when you get back, remember to have your grandson continue taking the medicine I gave him for another half month. Don't forget."
"I remember, I remember. I can forget everything else, but how could I forget this? Jiang Qiao, come over and visit sometime. I'm not just being polite; I sincerely invite you to come."
Jiang Qiao nodded with a smile, "I know. I will definitely come and trouble you when I have the chance in the future."
Also, remember, as long as the source of this poisoning isn't eliminated, it will always be a problem. Go back and find out as soon as possible, and you all need to be careful about your food safety.”
