The Haijia team stopped at the bottom of the ravine, illuminated the nearby terrain clearly by the light of torches and lanterns.

Although the figure above the ditch wall only flashed by, he turned and fled, but by the light of the fire at the bottom of the ditch, he could vaguely see that the man was thin, dressed in a neat black suit, and holding a long knife in his hand.

Everyone immediately thought of the gang of robbers who had just been scared away after robbing the road and killing people.

The two guards immediately turned over and dismounted, stepped on the wall of the ditch and leaped over the wall of the ditch, tracking the man away. The reef was not to be outdone, and quickly dismounted to keep up. Although he was young, his skills were not inferior to the guards, and he was even faster than him, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared above the ditch wall.

Only then did Ma Shi react and exclaimed: "Baoshun! Come back! ”

How could the reef listen?

The guards who remained were more vigilant, fearing that there would be other robbers returning. Fortunately, the two villagers who followed Uncle Cui in the other village were not ordinary farmers, they were once born in the Zhou family's own soldiers, and they were only relieved and returned to the field because of their age. They also rode their horses and quickly dispersed, forming a protective circle with several guards. If any of them dared to approach the Haijia convoy, they would definitely not be able to hide from their eyes.

Begonia also got out of the car at this time, holding a whip in her right hand and holding her brother's horse with her left hand. When her brother is away, she can also work part-time as a bodyguard for her family.

Ma didn't understand his granddaughter's intentions at all, and urged her to return to the carriage: "It's windy outside, be careful that robbers are back!" ”

Begonia turned around and smiled at her grandmother, but didn't say anything.

And what about the robbers coming back? Not to mention that there are so many strong guards here, even the whip in her hand and the dagger hidden in her waist are not vegetarian. She has studied martial arts for nearly two years, can't she even deal with one or two robbers?

Ma also thought that his granddaughter was afraid that his grandson's horse would go around, so he was not in a hurry, but he immediately gave Uncle Cui an order: "You go to the master's place to see, how did they save people?" ”

Uncle Cui hesitated, stood beside the car and didn't move: "Madam, the old man has a second master and a guard, and the old slave should stay and take care of it." There are so many people and cars here, and my sister is young. ”

Ma glanced at the begonia, and then didn't say anything.

After a while, Hai Xiya and Hai Chang'an and others who went to save people came back. One of the guards was carrying a half-grown child on his back, his clothes were still stained with blood, and he hung his head and seemed to faint. Hai Xiya said to his wife: "This child has injured his leg and has also been stabbed on his body, and he needs to be bandaged and treated as soon as possible." ”

Uncle Cui hurriedly said: "It's only three or four miles away from Farewell Village here, and you can get there in a short time by car." ”

Zhuang Ding behind him also said: "There are bone-setting doctors in Zhuangzi, and they often go up the mountain to collect medicines on weekdays, and some are medicinal herbs. ”

Hai Changan said on the side: "This child needs to be bandaged as soon as possible, otherwise his leg will be destroyed." Three or four miles is too far, so let's make room in the carriage, right? ”

Haitang hurriedly said: "My carriage is empty. Second uncle, send him to my car. I'll just stay in the granny car. ”

Hai Changan hesitated, thinking that Begonia was a little girl, and there were many boudoir private belongings in the car.

But Haixi Cliff made a quick decision and immediately ordered the guards to send the injured to his granddaughter's car. Even if the bedding in the carriage is stained with blood, human life is at stake, and it is more important than a few bedding. The key is that the carriage is spacious, equipped with a charcoal basin for heating, a hand stove, and clean cold boiled water and scissors, which makes it easier for the injured to receive treatment.

Xie Wenzai and Lu Bainian both rushed over when they heard the news. Both of them had taught themselves medicine, and the latter was more adept at trauma, and he had brought spare medicine with him during the trip. Hai Changan tore a clean middle coat into strips, Cao Gengyun contributed a pair of bamboo boards, and Xie Lu and the others quickly stopped the bleeding of the injured child and put on homemade medicine. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the child fall asleep and breathe normally.

While treating the wounded, the reef and two guards who had gone to track down the suspected robbers returned with a dejected face. They lost people. The suspicious man seemed to be familiar with the nearby terrain, compared to the fact that all three of them were outsiders, and could only barely make out the shape of their target by a little starlight, snow, and the light of the lights of nearby homes, and once the other party had completely dived into the darkness, they could no longer find anyone. Fearing the danger of continuing to track them down in an unfamiliar place, they had no choice but to turn back. Now they only knew that the man had run in a northeasterly direction, and they didn't know if there was an accomplice of his.

Haixi Cliff didn't say much about his grandson's adventures, after all, there were two guards with him. He just encouraged them, and when Xie Wenzai and Lu Bainian finished treating the wounds of the wounded, they climbed into the carriage: "Let's go, let's go to Beizhuang first to settle down, the big guy has been on the road for a day, and he is already tired, so hurry to the village to warm up." Leave the matter of tracking down the robbers to the people of the government. Let's leave two people here to guard, so as not to have wild wolves intruding on the body of the deceased, and by the way, to prevent the nearby people from coming to hear the sound and pick up the things at the scene. ”

Everyone received the order and got on the horse and boarded the carriage one after another. Xie Lu and the others stayed in Haitang's car for the time being to take care of the injured child, while the guards discussed on their own and decided who would stay behind. One of the two Zhuang Ding was also left behind, who was responsible for explaining the situation to the nearby residents and leading the way to Bezhuang after the incident.

Haixi Cliff got into the carriage and faced his wife and granddaughter with a worried face: "Although the child is not seriously injured, he is a little thinly dressed, and he has been trapped under the car for a long time, but he is afraid that he will not be lightly frozen." Not only did he have to take medicine to heal his wounds, but he also had to warm up as soon as possible. The charcoal in Tangtang's hand stove is almost finished, and there is only a little residual heat left in the charcoal basin, which is not enough to rely on these heating, so he has to drink some hot porridge. If you freeze and break your bones, you will end up with the root of the disease, or worse, you may even become disabled. At a young age, it is already miserable enough to suffer from this catastrophe and lose all the family...... "It's better not to get worse."

Hearing this, Haitang looked at the expressions of pity on the faces of Ma and Aunt Cui, and couldn't help but look in the direction of his carriage twice, thinking to himself what is the origin of this young man? Why is it so unlucky? Besides, on a cold day, he was in a carriage, why was he thinly dressed?

The two guards were left to guard the scene and wait for the officers and soldiers to arrive and deal with it, while the others all turned around and got back on the right path, heading in the direction of Bezhuang.

On the way, they passed the intersection to Zhou's Zhuangzi, and happened to see many tall and strong Zhuang Ding holding weapons in their hands and carrying torches to line up out of the village. Zhuang Ding from another village immediately greeted him, talked to the leader of the other party for a while, pointed out the direction of the robbery scene to them, then turned back and reported to Haixi Cliff: "The people on the veteran Zhuangzi have listened to the letter, and they will all go to see what is going on, and they will search the surrounding area separately to see if they can find the traces of the robbers." This kind of thing happened on the territory of the Zhou family, it's too much of a slap in the face! If Grandpa Guo knew, he would definitely find it out! ”

Hai Xiya said: "Then please ask them to work harder." Let's send the injured back to Biezhuang for treatment first, and when he wakes up, maybe he can ask for more clues. ”

Riding on their horses, the reef watched the veterans move in a very orderly manner, with torches and knives in hand, quickly dispersed in different directions, and the surrounding land full of black crows and ravines was illuminated by the light of fire in a blink of an eye, and no one could continue to hide in such light.

As the ranks of veterans dispersed, the people living in this land were quickly awakened.
