Chapter 409: Life and Death Depend on Life

The old horse paced leisurely in the woods, and after walking for a while, he suddenly began to run quickly.

"What's wrong?" I asked the old horse.

Lao Ma naturally didn't know how to answer, so he just quickly drove me back to Xia's house.

The fire had all been extinguished, and the whole mountainous area was filled with a choking smell of burning, and there were dozens of lights in the fields, and the lights were gray around the lights.

The army has been withdrawn. Perhaps in order to count the number of bandits and calculate the battle record, they even moved the corpses of the bandits.

The Xia family as a whole suffered heavy casualties.

The bodies of the last remaining people were covered with white cloths, both men and women. Their families and children crouched beside the corpse and wept bitterly, hoarse. Some of the believers knelt beside the corpses and asked them to chant the teachings.

"Thank you for hurting him." A peasant woman suddenly rushed over, hugged my legs, and thanked me.

I'm confused.

The peasant woman said, "You have wounded my husband's leg." He is so reckless, he always likes to rush to the front, if it weren't for the fact that he was resting because he injured his leg, he would probably have rushed up and been killed by the bandits by now! I've been waiting for you here for a long time to thank you! ”

It turned out that when he was mistaken for a bandit in the evening, he casually injured a farmer and tried to break out as a hostage.

It was his fault that he injured his leg, but he escaped the slaughter of the bandits, which was really a blessing in disguise.

"Life and death, don't thank me."

I helped the peasant woman to her feet.

The peasant woman bowed down and thanked her again.

The first fire set by the bandits in Qingyanzhai only burned down the main manor, while the second fire ignited the ears of wheat in the surrounding fields. Today's fields are bare, and all the stems and leaves are ashes. Passing by the field, I heard two elderly tenants chatting in the field.

One said that this batch of seedlings needs to be replanted and harvested in the winter, which is better than half a harvest.

The other said that he would change to beans so that he could harvest them, but he would just find rice to exchange for rice.

I inquired with them and learned that all the wounded were housed in Xia Shufeng's house.

Continue to ride the horse and come to Xia Shufeng's house.

She has a large place, many wings, and a herb field nearby, which is indeed more suitable for taking in patients than several others.

Xia Shufeng's housekeeper already knew me, but he didn't report it, and led me directly to the wing.

There are many wings, but they are still not enough to stuff the wounded. Anyway, there will be no rain in the past few days, so everyone found coarse cloth in the yard, simply made a wooden couch, and erected several columns neatly. The wounded lay on the couch and wailed in low voices, in pain.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I couldn't help but cover my nose when I smelled blood, sweat, earth, and burning.

The summer cold is busy among these people. He himself was wounded on the arm, and he was held in place by a bandage, and with only one hand he applied hemostatic herbs, handed water, and bandaged the wounded.

"You're back?" When he saw me, his grim face improved slightly, and he frowned again and asked, "Where have you been?" ”

I can't say bluntly that I was pulled into the forest by a male pet to heal my injuries......

Facing his scrutinizing gaze, I coughed lightly: "The wound is gone, anyway, it's fine." ”

Xia Leng didn't study it in detail, and said: "Mother asked us to go to her bedside tomorrow and listen to her oral teachings." ”

"Legacy? What's wrong with the old lady?! My heart suddenly became tangled and I blamed myself.

If it weren't for me using the treasure to dig out the eyeliner that was ambushing Xia Zhu, this kind of fake news would not have become a false rumor and really attracted the bandits. Now that Xia Zhu is suffering from this difficulty, it is also my strategy that I made a mistake, I didn't expect that the thieves in Qingyan Village would ignore her life and directly come to ask her and burn the manor and fields.

Summer Cold: "She was just frightened, wounded but not fatal. Now that he has rested, he is taken care of by the eldest sister and the second sister in turn. ”

"That's good......," I sighed in relief, and asked again, "the old lady called me too?" ”

Summer cold: "Yes. She asked me to relay it herself, and invited you to listen to it. ”

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
