Chapter 108 Rescue people up the mountain
Su Zhizhi quickly ran to the door to watch the fun.
Several other children also rushed to the door.
From a distance, I saw groups of monkeys running towards this side, some jumping on the ground, and some swinging among the treetops nearby.
In front of me were two people running, their clothes and faces so dirty that they couldn't be seen clearly.
One is tall and the other is short, like an adult and a young boy.
If it is a pack of wolves chasing people, everyone will probably go back and get their weapons immediately after seeing it.
But what they saw now was actually a group of monkeys chasing people. The people at the door of the restaurant were amused by this scene and burst into laughter, thinking that it was a joke.
When the two men ran closer, everyone heard their desperate cries:
"Help!"
"I hope the brave men can help—"
Behind them was a monkey with bright fur and a strong body, like the king of the monkey group.
The monkey king rushed towards the man with a hissing sound, trying to grab the man's head with his claws.
Gu Qingning and Liu Xiangxiang quickly looked at Su Zhizhi:
"Hero Zhizhi!"
Su Zhizhi: "Watch me!"
Su Zhizhi had already taken out a slingshot from her arms and grabbed a few stones on the ground.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——
Several stones were fired one after another.
The first stone hit the Monkey King right in the chest.
The Monkey King screamed and retreated.
Before the two people who were running away had time to be happy, they saw several stones hitting their heads.
Bang!
Both men fell down.
Not far away, Su Zhizhi scratched his head awkwardly:
"Sorry, the back one is not aligned."
The monkeys also bully the weak and fear the strong.
After being beaten several times, the monkey king saw the villagers coming towards him aggressively. He ran back and the monkey group dispersed.
The two people being chased had fainted on the dirt road. It was unclear whether they were knocked unconscious by the stones or from exhaustion.
His clothes were tattered, as if they had been torn by branches or monkey claws.
Lu Chunniang took a closer look and saw that although the clothes were dirty and torn, they were made of good material, like something a wealthy family would wear.
Hao Ren, Wu Yingniang, County Magistrate Song and others also came to check the situation because of the commotion.
Some villagers subconsciously asked: "Could these be disaster victims who escaped from somewhere?"
"Is there another rebellion somewhere?"
"Maybe he's being hunted by his enemies?"
While everyone was talking, someone had already turned over the two people on the ground and combed their messy hair.
Some handsome features can be seen in his dirty face.
Hao Ren and Song Yu's eyes tightened when they saw one of the faces.
The two looked at each other and had the same guess in their minds.
Hao Ren said, "These merchants may have met with disaster along the way and fled here. Human lives are at stake, so we should first send them to the village pharmacy."
The village pharmacy is next to Doctor Yu’s courtyard.
As the number of villagers increased and the number of people seeking medical treatment increased, Doctor Yu's small courtyard could not accommodate so many people. Therefore, the newly built house next to it was used as a medical hall.
Doctor Yu and several apprentices usually see patients in the pharmacy.
Kong Wu carried the two men on his shoulders without saying a word and rushed up the mountain.
Others continued to celebrate the opening of the restaurant, and the fun continued.
After about half an hour, the crowd gradually dispersed.
The villagers went back to their own work, Wu Fugui and Liu Shanchang went back to the county, and County Magistrate Song also had to go back to deal with affairs in the government office.
Before leaving, County Magistrate Song mentioned:
"I'd like to trouble Village Chief Hao to look after those two people. If they have grievances to report to the authorities after they wake up, please send someone to the county government office to let us know."
Hao Ren smiled and said, "It is a blessing for us that County Magistrate Song cares about the people. I will definitely do as you say."
Hao Ren usually smiles gently, but County Magistrate Song didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that Hao Ren's smile to him just now was particularly friendly, and the arc of his mouth was even a little higher.
Perhaps it was his care for the people that moved Village Chief Hao.
County Magistrate Song thought so as he took a short rest in the small and simple carriage.
At the entrance of the Black Mountain Restaurant, the bright red congratulatory silk curtains and firecrackers all over the ground were still there.
Hao Ren stood there and watched the guests leave, with a smile on his face that never dropped for a moment.
He did smile more exaggeratedly than usual, and his cheeks seemed to be fixed stiffly.
Even when he walked up the mountain back to the village, the smile on his face never faded.
Because he was afraid that if he didn't smile, he would reveal strange emotions.
When Hao Ren arrived at the pharmacy, Su Zhizhi and Xue Che were already inside.
Su Zhizhi was a little annoyed: "What if my slingshot is too powerful and causes brain damage?"
Xue Che nodded seriously: "It's possible. After all, you've become stronger after practicing martial arts."
Doctor Yu examined the two patients' pulses and said, "They probably fainted from hunger, thirst, and fatigue. They may have accidentally ingested hallucinogenic fungi on the way, which is why they are unconscious."
The apprentice from the pharmacy wiped the faces and hands of the two people with a wet towel.
Two very fair and beautiful faces were revealed.
Although he was thin, his eyebrows, eyes and nose were as if engraved, like a frail young man walking out of a painting.
Because the contrast was so great, the apprentice holding the towel was stunned for a moment.
Not only the apprentice was stunned, but also Xue Che next to him, as well as Hao Ren, Song Yu, and Lu Chunniang who walked in from outside one after another.
Xue Che, who always likes to act like a grown-up, opened his mouth, which was so round that a big date could fit in it.
He seemed to see He Sanlang, the number one young master in Chang'an!
How could He Sanlang, who was famous in the capital, end up here in such a dirty state?
Also, the young boy lying next to He Sanlang seems a little familiar, a bit like the third prince in my memory?
Xue Che's memory is better than his peers, but he is still just a child. It is rare for him to vaguely remember a face he met two years ago.
He felt like it, but wasn't sure.
Inside the house, there were three shocked adults.
"Oh my god!" Lu Chunniang covered her mouth and almost fell to the ground.
She had been making clothes in the palace for more than ten years. She didn't know the people outside the palace, but she remembered the appearance of the nobles in the palace clearly.
Even if the half-grown boy on the bed was a little thinner, she could still recognize him as the Third Prince!
Song Yu rubbed his eyes several times, suspecting that he was seeing things.
He held no official position and had few opportunities to enter the palace with his great-grandfather Song Yan. Even if he did, he would sit at the end of the banquet and could not recognize the royal nobles.
But he knew He Jia Sanlang, He Yanqing.
No one can compare to He Yanqing's good looks except Pei Lingyun, so it is difficult for Song Yu to recognize the wrong person.
"Village Chief Hao, I have something to say."
"Village Chief Hao, I want to talk to you alone."
"Uncle Hao, I have something to say."
Lu Chunniang, Song Yu and Xue Che spoke at the same time.
Upon seeing this, Doctor Yu took his apprentice to dry the herbs, leaving the house for a few people to talk.
The yard was filled with scorching sunlight in the afternoon and was quiet and silent.
Hao Ren took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's talk about them one by one."
The sunlight shines in through the window, and as time passes, the light and shadow on the ground slowly move forward one step at a time.
The two people lying on the sickbed were fed some medicine, and a hint of blood color slowly appeared on their pale faces.
Murong Di was lost in a chaotic dream.
Sometimes it was a scene of bandits fighting, and sometimes it was a scene of monkeys pouncing with bared fangs and claws.
He had been in the palace for twelve years and only knew that it was dangerous, so he had to leave the palace to find a way out.
But I didn’t expect that things would be so unlucky after leaving the palace!
