Chapter 40 Neighbors



Grandma Huang came out with an empty bowl, but before she even reached Yao Tongjia's room, the neighbors swarmed in: "Hey Grandma Huang, what's wrong with your family? Even the Ge Wei Society members are here?"

"Your family is the one who got into trouble!" Grandma Huang was already upset when she saw her grandson's pale face. He used to walk with a brisk pace, but now he couldn't even walk. And just then, someone walked right into her trap.

The people from Kagome's group came just now, and they hid far away. Now that the people have been gone for a while and they're sure they won't come back, they've swarmed here to question us. What does this mean?

Grandma Huang was indignant: "You heartless people, what have we done to offend you? You immediately accuse us of committing crimes? If we committed crimes, would we all be here? Get out of here!"

Those who were told to get out turned red in the face. One of them, a woman with triangular eyes, retorted, "Did your family rent out the house to someone else and cause this trouble?"

The woman with triangular eyes had been eyeing Granny Huang's house for a long time. Her family, consisting of a dozen or twenty people, only had two rooms, and they wished they could stack themselves together to live in.

All three sons in the family are married, and with the elderly couple, there are a total of four couples. Every time they have to bargain before they can do anything, it's really frustrating!

But Granny Huang occupies such a large, detached house all by herself, with six rooms, a separate toilet, and a well.

If she could live in a house like this, she would die content!

But it's so wrong for someone who has no descendants to occupy such a house. It's only right that someone with many children and grandchildren should live there!

She had previously gone to the neighborhood committee office to cause trouble, hoping they would pressure Grandma Huang to move in.

But the neighborhood committee said that this woman, who had no family members living in poverty, was a martyr's family member, and her daughter and son-in-law were important military personnel, so they couldn't touch her.

This almost made the triangular-eyed woman grind her teeth to dust. Why doesn't this old hag die? If she dies, she can take over this yard!

Grandma Huang saw that besides the woman with triangular eyes, there were several other people staring greedily at her yard. What good was their greed? This was something her children had earned through their merits.

She's going to take over this courtyard; what can they do to her?

"Didn't you see the bloodstains at the door? They followed the bloodstains here. I don't know who the hell came to frame us! The bloodstains just happened to end at our doorstep."

These words made everyone rush out the door, and sure enough, they saw a broken bloodstain at the Huang family's door. They lost all interest in finding out what was going on with the others.

They all rushed back to their own doorsteps to check if there was any bloodstains there.

Hearing his grandmother's powerful curses, Chen Yaojun's lips twitched. Without the help of two people last night, not only would he have died, but everyone in this courtyard would have perished.

That was really dangerous! I was too arrogant and thought I wasn't on a battlefield. My mother told me to always carry a tourniquet with me, but I just left it in my bag.

Just as Chen Yaojun was thinking about what happened last night, Yao Tongjia and Xiao Gengwu came in. Chen Yaojun tried to sit up, but he felt dizzy and fell back down, laughing at himself, "You guys find a place to sit down, I really don't have the strength to get up!"

Xiao Gengwu saw that there was only one stool, so he picked it up and gestured for Yao Tongjia to sit down. He then sat down on the edge of the bed himself and asked, "Did you call us here for something?"

Chen Yaojun, who was asleep but not dizzy, said, "Thank you so much for last night. If it weren't for you, I might not be alive today!"

"Saving you is also saving ourselves. I knew things must be very bad when you were in such a hurry last night!" This person was too blunt! Chen Yaojun slowly turned his head to look at Xiao Gengwu.

"Your surname is Xiao and your given name is Gengwu? Where are you from?"

"My name is Xiao Gengwu, from the Houshan Brigade." Xiao Gengwu said without changing his expression. They had already said that if anyone asked where they were from, they should all say that they were from the Houshan Brigade.

Upon hearing that he was from the Houshan Brigade, Chen Yaojun put aside his doubts: "May I ask what medicine I used last night to stop the bleeding? I took a look, and although my wound is still there, it has scabbed over."

Yao Tongjia was startled. She had only given a little bit of spiritual spring water last night, yet the effect was so amazing. She really wanted to see how far the wound had progressed.

Xiao Gengwu kept looking at Yao Tongjia, understanding her meaning: "May I see your wound?"

Chen Yaojun didn't hesitate and directly lifted his clothes, revealing his wounded stomach. The hole, which was dark last night, was now visibly covered with a brown scab.

To get better data, Xiao Gengwu even touched the scab. The scab was very thin and would probably break if poked. Chen Yaojun was nervous: "Don't poke the scab, or it will bleed."

Xiao Gengwu withdrew his hand and wiped it in his palm: "I wouldn't do something so stupid!!"

“I remember that last night you helped me stop the bleeding before you changed my clothes. After you changed my clothes, the bleeding stopped and now it’s scabbed over.”

"This is much, much faster than any hemostatic agent I've used before. If it were used in the military, it could reduce casualties among our soldiers."

After speaking, Chen Yaojun looked at the two of them eagerly. Xiao Gengwu and Yao Tongjia exchanged a glance, knowing that this would happen.

But given last night's situation and today's events, if we don't rescue them, they won't escape today either.

Xiao Gengwu stood up: "You rest first, let's go back and discuss it!"

After saying that, he ignored Chen Yaojun's reaction, pulled Yao Tongjia away, and the two of them went into Yao Tongjia's bed in silence without saying a word.

"how do you say?"

Xiao Gengwu had seen her treat her mother before, and the speed was incredible! Luckily, she diluted the spiritual spring water again and again last night, otherwise it would have been really troublesome!

Yao Tongjia leaned her head against the wall: "The hemostatic agents nowadays are all solid. Don't you think it would be better if I made a liquid one?"

"The solid form is easier to carry. Your liquid form has a particularly good hemostatic effect, and if you use a little bit each time to stop the bleeding, it's inconvenient to carry. So they are happy to accept it."

“Then I’ll add some other things to it so that no one can tell which drug is working. We’ll have my mom and master help make the medicine!”

Looking at the innocent girl in front of him, Xiao Gengwu couldn't bear to discourage her: "I'm just afraid they want the recipe!"

"What do you mean, 'requires the recipe'? Who steals things like this?" Yao Tongjia's voice rose unconsciously. Yao Tongxu walked over and looked at them: "Sis, are you arguing?"

Yao Tongjia knew she had lost her composure. As a 21st-century person, she really couldn't understand this kind of dedication. Besides, the spiritual spring water was on her body, how could she possibly contribute it?

Seeing that his sister and Brother Xiao didn't seem to be at odds, Yao Tongxu went back to memorize vocabulary. He was really motivated today, and he wanted to become a translator too, to have an extra layer of protection!

“Are you sure you want to do this? We can talk to him. He seems like a fairly reasonable person, otherwise he wouldn’t have consulted with us and would have just reported it directly. In that case, we wouldn’t have a lot of options!”
