Once he had steadied himself, he looked firmly at the fish in the pond and said loudly:
"Auntie, I'll run back right now. Don't worry, I'll do what you asked me to do."
After saying that, he ran away without waiting for Chi Yu's reply.
In his view, every moment is precious.
The sooner my aunt and uncle find out, the sooner the county magistrate will know.
In this way, adults can prepare as early as possible, and ordinary people will have more ways to make a living.
On the carriage that had already stopped, Chi Yu held Zhuangzhuang in her arms, stood on the carriage shaft, and watched Chi Kang run away.
Only after they were out of sight did she take the child into the carriage and say to Wen Ge:
"Brother Wen, let's go."
Brother Wen was a little confused, not knowing what the aunt and niece were up to, but he still drove away as instructed.

Chi Kang is, after all, a young man, and he grew up in the mountains.
He started hunting with his family when he was seven or eight years old.
So this running distance is nothing to him.
It took him about half an hour to run back to Qijia Village.
When he arrived, panting, he pulled a black scarf from his sleeve and wrapped it around his face.
Before he could even get close enough to ask a question, the soldiers guarding the entrance to Qijia Village walked over with puzzled looks in their eyes.
Why are you back?
Chi Kang was just figuring out how to start the conversation when he heard these words, and he knew that the other person recognized him.
He immediately followed up on this, saying, "Brother, my aunt is worried about that guy surnamed Zhuang, so she asked me to come back and check on him."
"By the way, brother, do you know which doctor she was taken to for treatment?"
The soldier, thinking it was something serious, replied:
"The person was bleeding continuously and was barely clinging to life until they reached the city."
Our brother Mao is kind-hearted, so he decided to send the person back.
I don't know the specifics either. If you want to know, go to Xiaozhuang.
Chi Kang didn't know where Xiaozhuang was, so to confirm the other party's situation, he asked again:
"Brother, I don't know how to get to Xiao Zhuang. Could you please show me the way?"
As he spoke, he imitated his aunt, taking out a few copper coins from his pocket and stuffing them into the other person's hand.
This was money he had painstakingly saved up, and although it hurt him to give it away now, he knew it was the right thing to do.
A few coins may not seem like much, but giving them will make the other person feel better, and it will be easier to strike up a conversation if they have something else to say next time.
Sure enough, the soldier didn't complain about the small amount of money. Instead, he glanced at it, stuffed it into his pocket, and began to tell him how to get there.
Chi Kang didn't run away this time because he didn't know the way and had to keep walking while wondering if he had gone the wrong way.
Fortunately, Xiaozhuang was not too far from Qijia Village. At Chi Kang's pace, it took him about 15 minutes to find the place.
At that time, Brother Mao and his men were pulling a cart, and because the road was difficult to travel, they were moving slowly, and it took them a while to transport the people back.
The cart had barely entered the area of Xiaozhuang when someone spotted them.
Brother Mao and his men were dressed in the uniforms of city guards, with a large knife hanging from their waists.
Not long after they entered the village, the village chief of Xiaozhuang came over, trembling with fear.
"Sir, may I ask why you have come to my humble village?"
Mao Ge had no intention of making things difficult for these people, and without wasting any words, he turned around, pointed to the corpses on the cart, and said:
"This woman's name is Zhuang Zilan. Are her parents still alive?"
Among the onlookers from afar were Zhuang Zilan's brothers.
They were stunned for a moment when they heard this, but quickly realized what it meant.
Zhuang Zilan's eldest brother stepped forward and asked, "Officer, I am Zhuang Zilan's brother."
