The man had been pulled off his horse, and the horse stood in front of him as if trying to protect its master, but there were too many refugees, and it could block the front but not the back.
The man had an arrow in his chest.
As if he didn't want to be discovered, he broke off the arrow fletching, leaving only a short part sticking out, making it difficult to retrieve the arrow.
Moreover, this is not a good place to retrieve arrows.
There were too many refugees around; who knew if they would realize the grenade wasn't a lightning bolt and suddenly rush at them?
Therefore, we must leave first.
Tian Guoguo reached out and touched the spot where he was injured.
Because the man was wounded in the left chest, which is very close to the heart, she was afraid that the arrow had penetrated the heart.
Fortunately, the arrow missed.
She secretly took out a silver needle from her spatial storage and inserted it into the man's corresponding acupoints, which could temporarily suspend his life.
Just then, Old Lady Tian and Old Man Tian ran over.
Tian Guoguo rushed into her grandmother's arms, and the old lady immediately picked her up.
The old lady didn't care about others, but she had heard the thunder just now and hurriedly asked her granddaughter if she had been hurt or anything.
Tian Guoguo was the first to smile and reply, "I'm fine, Grandma!"
When the old lady heard her granddaughter clearly call her "Grandma," her heart melted instantly, and she quickly responded.
Tian Guoguo then turned to Qian Bao and said, "Carry him on your back, let's...go!"
Qian Bao didn't ask any more questions and carefully carried the man away.
Tian Lao Er was also assigned a job: leading the man's horse.
The group quickly walked out of the refugee crowd.
The refugees were still somewhat bewildered, wondering what was going on.
It wasn't until they reached the city gate that a few refugees seemed to realize something and exclaimed in surprise, "Look at that person's clothes..."
"That looks like a military uniform!"
"And that's not just ordinary military uniform. Could it be some kind of high-ranking general? We almost accidentally shot him just now..."
"Hey, was that lightning just now a warning from God?"
The general guarded the borders and protected them.
But they almost harmed the general and even tried to eat his horse. Heaven was giving them a warning!
The refugees all agreed that it made sense.
Some people even knelt down and kowtowed to God, begging for forgiveness and saying they would never dare to do it again!
Tian Guoguo was being held by her grandmother, and her little head was just able to see the group of refugees, so she could naturally hear what they were saying.
Seeing them kneel down, I couldn't help but twitch my lips.
Could this be considered blind superstition by the ancients?
That's good, too. Their belief that it's a warning from heaven will make things easier when Qingshan Village wants to leave the city.
After all, they were saving God's people!
The man's life was hanging by a thread, and Tian Guoguo had to figure out how to save him, whether to take him to a clinic for treatment...
Should she find a safe place to save him?
The medical technology in clinics these days doesn't seem very good. To be honest, Tian Guoguo was a little worried about sending him to a clinic.
She wanted to save him herself.
What kind of place would be suitable?
Tian Guoguo's little brain was working at a rapid pace, but before she could figure it out, the city guard suddenly shouted.
"General Cui!"
The soldiers behind them didn't take Tian Guoguo and her group's rescue seriously; even with the lightning, they just watched it as a spectacle.
They have no compassion whatsoever.
Even now, the first soldier to check recognized General Cui and quickly called over the soldiers next to him to carry him away.
They were making a bit too much noise.
General Cui was hurt by them and groggily opened his eyes, just in time to meet Tian Guoguo's tense gaze.
Whether it was the soldiers' clumsy touch that touched his wound, General Cui suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.
The little girl in front of me is becoming increasingly blurry.
General Cui wanted to see her face clearly, but his eyelids drooped uncontrollably.
Seeing the person on his back being snatched away, Qian Bao was very anxious, "What are you doing? We rescued this person!"
"How could you steal someone!"
He spoke in a great hurry, and Qian Bao also had a bit of a bandit-like air about him, so his attitude seemed very bad.
The officers and soldiers in front were immediately enraged!
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly. This is our General Cui. How dare you, a worthless mud-legged, aspire to such a high position?"
Qian Bao had never been insulted like this before. He wasn't too angry at first, but now he was about to explode!
They were about to attack the soldiers.
A soldier with a more amiable expression quickly pulled him back, saying, "Brother, brother, don't worry!"
"This is General Cui. My brother was just worried about General Cui's injury, which is why he spoke a bit harshly. Please forgive him!"
Seeing that Qian Bao and his men were big and burly, and not to be trifled with, they quickly tried to appease them.
Qian Bao found his words reasonable and gradually calmed down.
Then the soldier continued, "Thank you all for your help. We will take General Cui to the nearest clinic for treatment right away!"
"besides…"
As he spoke, he looked at Qian Bao and the old lady, "You were the ones who saved my general just now, so your entrance fee to the city will be waived!"
"Everyone, let's hurry into the city!"
Upon hearing that the city entrance fee would be waived, a short-tempered soldier nearby immediately objected and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a more amiable soldier.
"Shut up, Sixth Brother!"
The sixth brother seemed to be afraid of the gentle officers and soldiers, and dared not say anything more after hearing this.
In this way, Tian Guoguo and her group saved on the city entry fee, but the village chief and his group still had to pay.
They quickly entered the city.
The county town is not as bustling as the prefectural city, but the roadsides are still lined with stalls, taverns, teahouses, and restaurants—you name it!
It should still be a large market today.
There were many ordinary people on the street, all dressed very cleanly, with only a few disheveled beggars begging around...
Some people would throw them a few copper coins.
The little beggars were extremely grateful.
Qian Bao hadn't been to the marketplace for over a decade, and seeing such a lively scene, he found it quite fascinating, completely forgetting his earlier unpleasantness.
Tian Guoguo, however, was not in the mood for it.
She was very anxious when she saw the soldiers taking General Cui away, but she also knew that they were government soldiers.
They cannot confront each other head-on.
Furthermore, they seemed to want to save General Cui.
She remained silent when she reached the city gate.
But now, the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
Just then, General Cui was carried past them by several soldiers.
Earlier, outside the city gate, Tian Guoguo had used silver needles to stop the bleeding for General Cui, but now his chest was wet again.
Clearly, there's bleeding again.
Tian Guoguo was anxious.
She hurriedly tugged at her grandmother, who was hugging her, and said as fast as she could, "Grandma, take...me..."
Grandma Tian is looking at a small tiger-head hat.
With the Lunar New Year fast approaching, they still won't be able to reach Kyoto for another month or so, meaning they'll definitely be spending the holiday away from home this year.
Due to limited resources, all New Year celebrations must be reduced.
But the granddaughter's new clothes cannot be taken off!
I happened to spot a festive red tiger-head hat.
Grandma Tian had already started haggling with the shopkeeper when she suddenly heard her granddaughter's anxious tone. She wondered if her granddaughter was feeling unwell.
He quickly put down his hat and asked her.
Tian Guoguo knew that her grandmother would not agree to her meddling in other people's business, so she simply stopped talking nonsense and pretended to be sick by covering her little belly.
If she is not feeling well, her grandmother will definitely take her to the doctor...
