Chapter 328 Hard Bones



Mrs. Lin looked much more haggard, and Song Yuehua asked about Zhou Dafu.

"Your uncle Dafu has woken up a long time ago, but his injuries are quite serious. I'm afraid he will need to recuperate for a while. Song Da has also woken up. Granny Xi said he had some internal injuries and also needs to be recuperated."

Lin's eyes turned red as she continued, "The two boys from the Miao and Shi families are gone, and the one from the Cai family hasn't woken up yet. I don't know if he can survive..."

There are only two people in the Miao family: Miao Xiaoer and his father Miao Dazhuang.

Miao Dazhuang injured his leg when he was young and became a cripple, so this time when the Miao family was fighting off the enemy, it was Miao Xiaoer who guarded the village.

As for Shi Gong's family, there was an old mother with a younger sister, and a married sister who brought back two little nephews.

There was only one man named Shi Gong in the entire historian family, and he just disappeared like that.

The two men held out in the big house for two days, but they just couldn't hold on any longer. They were both strong young men in their teens...

During the time that Song Yuehua was in a coma, two funerals were held in the village. Carpenter Yang made two coffins overnight and buried the body.

The atmosphere in the village has been very depressed recently.

During the first fight against the cult, no one in the village was killed, let alone seriously injured.

It was not until this time that people realized that during years of famine, human life was worthless.

When Lin said this, she looked up at Song Yuehua and said, "Everyone in the village is looking forward to you waking up soon. They come to ask about you all day long. Now that you are awake, everyone will be happy to know."

"The clan held a meeting and decided that the Miao and Shi families will be supported by the village from now on. As long as the village has enough food for the day, they will be fed for the day. My father-in-law specifically asked me to tell you about this."

Song Yuehua nodded and said, "It should be."

Miao Xiaoer and Shi Gong died for the sake of the village, so the village naturally cannot treat their families unfairly.

Song Yuehua moved her body and felt a little numb. She had been lying down for more than ten days and her blood had stopped flowing.

After Grandma Xi came over, she changed the medicine for her and brought a medicine bag for Grandma Lan to make for Song Yuehua to drink.

After finishing the job, Song Yuehua discovered that the two little ones, Dabao and Xiaobao, had been squatting at the head of the bed, staring at her eagerly.

"Don't be afraid, sister, you don't drink and don't stay up late. You will get better soon." Song Yuehua comforted.

Dabao and Xiaobao nodded their little heads gently.

Just when Song Yuehua was thinking about how to comfort the two little ones, Master Duan also came. Just as he was about to come in, he was stopped by Grandma Lan.

"Whatever is said outside, it can be heard inside. The boss is a grown-up girl. You are so old, can't you be more careful?"

This was the first time that Master Duan felt so aggrieved, and he retorted, "I'm not that old!"

Song Yuehua couldn't help but laugh. Dabao and Xiaobao's eyes lit up and their expressions became brighter.

Duan Yidao had no choice but to squat at the door and talk to her, "I almost killed Xu Yun's grandson..."

"Who are these three?"

Song Yuehua asked. She wanted to understand why a soldier would focus on a small village.

Originally Duan Yidao was a personal soldier beside General Gongsun, and Xu Yun was also a personal soldier. However, he made a mistake later and was punished to be a soldier. After being demoted, he climbed up step by step from a soldier and was promoted to sergeant.

When Duan Yidao was taken back to Beijing to be tried, Xu Yun was still the sergeant. Unexpectedly, so many things happened in the few years they had not seen each other.

The sergeant above Xu Yun made a mistake and took him as the scapegoat, and he was imprisoned for a full six years. It was only after he and several other soldiers who were also wrongfully imprisoned escaped from prison that he was able to see the light of day again.

"Can anyone who is a soldier make a slingshot, a battering ram and a ladder?" Song Yuehua asked.

Moreover, being able to shoot arrows at the wall from such a distance, Song Yuehua suspected that it was a crossbow with such a range.

"How is that possible? I just can't figure it out," Duan Yidao quickly denied. "Xu Yun was punished to be a soldier because he modified the siege equipment without authorization. He is indeed very capable, but this behavior is beyond his authority, so he must be punished..."

Song Yuehua sighed heavily and asked, "Will he come again?"

"Girl, Xu Yun is a very ambitious man. He has launched two consecutive attacks. He will take down this tough nut of ours sooner or later. However, he suffered heavy losses these two times, so he won't act rashly for the time being." Duan Yidao analyzed.

Song Yuehua hummed lightly, "If he wants to be the king of thieves, he must have so many people under him. He has lost so many people in the past few days without making a single grain of rice. He must make up for it from other places."

"That's right," Duan Yidao said, "Zhang Rushan said the same thing. He has to support quite a few people, and the food reserves in some small villages are simply not enough. So he will definitely try to make a big deal."

"According to the information Ji Ming got, many merchants have come to the city to avoid disaster recently. Hou Wu also heard that there are many strangers wandering around the county town. They are probably planning to take over some wealthy family."

Speaking of wealthy families, Song Yuehua thought of Mr. Jin and asked about him.

Duan Yidao said, "Mr. Jin is gone, and only Jin Shaoyang's aunt is left in the Jin family."

"She is taking care of the Jin family alone?" Song Yuehua asked.

Duan Yidao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, that woman will be fine."

Song Yuehua, "..."

"Since we're already in the county, we might as well report to the police directly," said Song Yuehua.

Xu Yun and others were fugitives, so it was natural for the county magistrate to arrest him.

Duan Yidao said, "I have sent a message to the county magistrate about this matter, but I think we should not count too much on County Magistrate Yan."

"Is he so useless? The enemy has come to his doorstep, can County Magistrate Yan still remain calm?..." Song Yuehua murmured.
