As per Li Lanzhen's request, Manager Hua and the others did not go up to the second floor.
When the large ship turned into the river leading to Peach Blossom Spring.
Li Lanzhen went upstairs and put all three of them on the bed upstairs.
"Auntie, that was fast! This waterway is great."
Looking at the two unconscious people lying on the bed, Li Lanzhen asked him.
How are the two of them?
Silver Fox shook his head. "The situation isn't good. Little Five is a little better, but Dark One has a fever right now. Luckily, you had some fever-reducing medicine with you, and I've already given it to him."
Li Lanzhen saw that An Yi's face was flushed.
"His wound must have been soaked in water and then became infected. He didn't receive timely treatment after the injury, so his body developed a fever."
Once we get back to Peach Blossom Spring, you can treat him properly with medicine, and there shouldn't be any problems.
"Will you come down with me?"
Silver Fox nodded. "I'll go down and take a look."
Li Lanzhen led the silver fox down to the second floor.
Manager Hua hurriedly went up to Silver Fox and asked him with concern.
"Master, are you feeling alright? It's windy on deck, why did you come down?"
Silver Fox said with a slight smile.
"Uncle Hua, I'm much better now. Come down and take a look."
The three boats had just entered the Peach Blossom Spring Pass.
With a "whoosh," a net immediately cascaded down from above.
People stood on the hilltops on both sides, holding bows and arrows and shouting loudly.
"Who goes there? Stop the ship! Don't come any closer!"
Otherwise, we'll fire our arrows!
When Li Lanzhen heard Xue Laohu's voice, she waved in that direction.
Han Mingjiang immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Dad, it's us. Mom and I are back!"
These three boats belong to Manager Hua.
Li Lanzhen then saw Xue Laohu wave his hand.
The large net blocking the entrance on the river surface slowly rose again.
Li Lanzhen didn't know how they made it or what materials they used.
If the enemy forces their way in, this net probably won't be of much use, but it can deter them and buy them time.
When their three boats slowly entered Peach Blossom Spring and arrived at the simple dock with eleven trees.
The entire village stood at the dock.
The older children ran and shouted, keeping pace with the speed of the boat's movement.
The little kids, with their short legs, clapped their hands and jumped around, shouting for a while, then chasing after the older kids.
The men and women slowed down and followed the pace of the three ships to the dock.
The boat stopped, and so did the people. Cheers erupted, and people shouted the names of Han Mingjiang and Li Lanzhen.
Li Lanzhen stood on the deck and shouted at Han Shunde.
"Village chief, bring two stretchers, someone here is injured."
Her shout immediately silenced everyone, adults and children alike.
"Someone is injured?" The children stared wide-eyed at the boat, wondering who was hurt.
Before long, Xue Bao, Han Minghai, and the others carried stretchers onto the boat.
They carried Xiao Wu and the other person off the boat, and Silver Fox followed them off the boat.
Su Chen and Linglong saw the silver fox and immediately rushed through the children.
She hugged his leg tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, and kept calling out, "Uncle, Uncle, you're back!"
The children rushed up and enthusiastically called him "Uncle".
Han Yinan noticed that Silver Fox had scars on its arm.
She asked him loudly, "Uncle, how did you get hurt again?"
Li Lanzhen followed behind, chuckling.
"Yes, your uncle is such a worry. Every time we meet, he hurts himself, which makes us all feel sorry for him and care about him!"
Her words caused the previously somber crowd to burst into laughter.
Silver Fox patted the children's heads shyly.
Manager Hua followed behind them, and seeing how familiar and caring Li Lanzhen was with the silver fox, he was very happy.
He said it silently to himself.
Master, Madam, look, the young master has grown up and become responsible. Moreover, his savior treats him very well, just like his own child.
Master, all these years, I didn't know if you were alive or dead. If you are still alive, please come back and see how grown up the young master is. The cousin is also very sensible.
Immediately afterwards, Manager Hua had his men unload many boxes, baskets, and sacks from the ship.
Manager Hua walked up to Han Shunde.
"Village chief, this is a gift from our Sifang Restaurant to Peach Blossom Spring. It consists of coarse cloth and grain."
Han Shunde stood there stunned for a moment, looking at the pile of things, and then turned to look at Li Lanzhen.
Li Lanzhen thought to herself, "You're not saying anything, you're just looking at me and asking me to speak."
She said to Manager Hua, "Thank you, Sifang Restaurant, thank you, Manager Hua!"
After Li Lanzhen spoke, Han Shunde laughed heartily and bowed to Manager Hua.
"Thank you very much, Manager Hua. All the villagers in Peach Blossom Spring are very grateful to you. These are exactly what we need."
He thought to himself that he needed to discuss it with everyone.
Give Sifang Restaurant more vegetables. The price of vegetables is unlikely to fluctuate, but giving them more can make up for the favors they've done.
Li Lanzhen saw the water buffalo family and Xiaoju and her two companions.
The metasequoia tree supported his wife, while the water buffalo mother stood beside them, holding her grandson.
She pulled the water buffalo girl to Han Shunde and said.
"Village chief, I brought this family here. I'll tell you about their situation later."
Han Shunde smiled and glanced at the water buffalo woman's family, then greeted them with a smile.
"Alright, welcome to Peach Blossom Spring."
When Li Lanzhen saw her youngest daughter beside her, she called out to her.
"Yuemei, this is Baoya's mother. She is in confinement after childbirth. Arrange for her to get on that carriage and bring them all into our house. Let them wash up before going to the dining hall."
She took the water buffalo woman's hand and said, "Big sister, come to my house with my little girl first, settle Bao Ya's mother in, and then you can come over for dinner. I'll tell the village chief about your family's situation."
She glanced at Xiaoju, who was standing awkwardly to the side, and smiled to comfort her.
"Xiaoju, you're home now. Don't be afraid or panic. Just live a good life from now on."
Xiaoju smiled and nodded.
Han Yuemei happily agreed and left with the water buffalo mother and her family.
Three boats arrived in Peach Blossom Spring, making the village incredibly lively.
The children gathered around the small dock with eleven trees, reluctant to leave.
They chattered away, looking at the first ship, then running to the second, talking about it, and finally pointing and gesturing at the last ship, laughing and starting all over again, never tiring of it.
Later, the adults called them back for dinner.
Only then did they reluctantly return to the dining room.
Lunchtime had just passed, and the people of Peach Blossom Spring hadn't eaten yet.
So today we have guests, and the meal is very plentiful.
After washing up and changing her clothes, Li Lanzhen went to the dining room.
The food has already started to be served: braised pork, pork stewed with pickled cabbage and tofu, pheasant stewed with potatoes, braised rabbit stewed with dried wild vegetables, and tomato and egg soup.
Only tomatoes are grown in greenhouses; people are reluctant to eat other vegetables grown in greenhouses.
All the dishes were served in large bowls, one serving per table.
The staple food was wild vegetable pancakes, which were mixed with lard and were soft and fragrant.
The last thing to arrive was chive dumplings!
The crust is golden and crispy, and the filling is made of chives and either eggs or goose eggs, which is also very fragrant.
Li Lanzhen chuckled. "Perhaps we have guests coming today, which is why she was willing to cut some chives to make chive boxes!"
Li Lanzhen arranged for the water buffalo mother and her family to sit at one table.
Tell them to relax, that they're home now, have a good meal, and start working tomorrow.
The dinner table was quiet; no one spoke or asked about Li Lanzhen's recent events. After finishing the meal and clearing away the dishes, the children went to school.
The women also went into the canteen to clean up the pots and pans.
The men sat down at two tables, along with Li Lanzhen and Han Mingjiang, of course.
