Chapter 221 Injured
Su He was at the foot of the mountain. Seeing everyone else go out, Su He followed them out as well. "Just send ten people to the village entrance. This group of people is at a house at the entrance. I estimate there are more than a dozen of them."
Everyone prepared torches before they left. Speaking of this, I have to talk about everyone's houses. The houses are concentrated on both sides of the road. Su He, his grandparents and Liu Niang live on one side, and the others live on the opposite side. The people from Tianyuan Village occupy most of the foot of the mountain. Jin the Butcher and Li the Carpenter are sandwiched in between. Now, seeing these newcomers holding torches and going to meet the enemy, Jin the Butcher, as a native, certainly cannot be cowardly.
"Fugui, count me in, forget about Carpenter Li, let him stay."
Wang Fugui agreed with a smile, and everyone gathered together and rushed towards the village entrance.
The remaining people felt uneasy staying at home, so Su He simply called them all into his house.
"Cui Niang, boil some hot water."
After three days of adjustment, Uncle He's family has adapted to the new life. Here they can rest as long as they finish their work, and they eat well and sleep comfortably. The three older ones in the host family are gentle and kind, and the younger ones are also very polite. They are very happy every day. Now, seeing the eldest daughter bringing people to the kitchen, the two sisters-in-law hurried to work.
Butcher Jin has an old mother, a wife and two sons, all of whom are sitting in the kitchen in a reserved manner. Carpenter Li was originally very uncomfortable with his wife and children, but when Mu Tou came forward and asked about the wooden bridge and talked about his profession, he suddenly became confident.
The other people in Tianyuan Village were not nervous at all. They were used to being together and were even busy preparing some food for the returning man.
Su He handed the place over to Zhou and went to the backyard to climb up the ladder to see the situation.
In a short while, Wang Fugui and others had already run to the entrance of the village, where they saw seven or eight men in ragged clothes surrounded in the middle, with some minor injuries on their bodies.
The soldiers shouted at the victims inside, "You unruly people, why don't you just surrender?"
At this time, the villagers who had originally disliked these disaster victims began to curse angrily, especially the Zhang family who were almost robbed. Old Mrs. Zhang cursed the most harshly, and told them to go back to the north.
"You bunch of thieves! We in Guangyuan don't welcome you. You eat our food and drink our drinks, but you don't know how to be grateful and even want to steal things. The food is eaten by the dog. I have a dog that is better than you!"
"Sir, put them in jail! They must have stolen the things from Shuangguan Village!"
"Yes! Several villages near us have always been peaceful. They are the ones who did it!"
The leading man looked at the villagers as if they were going to eat them, so he made up his mind, wiped the blood from his forehead, and whispered a few words to his companions who were standing back to back with him.
Wang Fugui had a feeling that something was wrong, and he subconsciously whispered to everyone to retreat. But after they had taken two steps, the gang of thieves rushed towards the officers and soldiers with murderous eyes.
The villagers were so frightened when they saw the people coming that they fled in all directions. The remaining five or six officers and soldiers hurriedly responded to the enemy.
Wang Fugui and several others were holding hoes in the fields and ready to attack at any time, but the group of victims suddenly broke out of the encirclement after a few feints.
Hundreds of people against a dozen people, five disaster victims died, eight escaped. More than a dozen villagers were injured, two officers and soldiers were seriously injured and kept bleeding, and the rest were also injured. It can be seen that this group of officers and soldiers also contributed.
As soon as Wang Fugui saw what happened, he decided to report to the police. He turned around and told Wang Bin a few words, then ran to find the village chief.
"Village chief, we need to report to the authorities. Also, these officials are injured, so we need to go to the city to find a doctor."
Village Chief Zhu was protected by his two grandsons, and he was also breathless when he answered Wang Fugui.
"It's so dark, how can we travel?"
"It shouldn't be a problem to follow the official road with torches. We have a horse, so let's send someone there. Ask the village chief to send two more people to us. These officials also need someone to take care of them."
Village Chief Zhu agreed on the spot. These officials have always lived in his house. If anything goes wrong, he will be in trouble. Now that someone is helping to send them off, it is of course the best.
"I asked our second oldest son to go with us, and the oldest son stayed behind in the village. After all, I am old and don't have the physical strength to keep up."
Zhu Laoer was nearby. When he heard his old father calling, he called a companion and came over.
"Village Chief Zhu, I'm worried that things will never be peaceful. We need someone to keep watch every day. Four people were too few before. They escaped this time, but they may come again in the future. There are a lot of disaster victims, so we can't let our guard down."
Wang Fugui was speechless. These southerners had just been scolding the disaster victims vigorously. Each of them was more eloquent than the other. When they pissed them off, they ran away faster than anyone else. Fortunately, these officers and soldiers had some sense of responsibility, otherwise their losses would have been even greater.
Boss Zhu was already gathering the key members of the village to arrange the night shifts, while Wang Fugui was discussing with Tian Yuan's group about who would go and who would stay.
"Brother, I'll go, you stay at home, we'll send out the carriage and mule, I guess Liu Bai will ride a horse to the city by himself. We have enough people, let them do the rest."
Wang Jingui is the youngest and has a quick mind, so he can talk to these detectives.
While the two were talking, the sound of horse hooves and the rolling of a carriage came from behind. Wang Fugui knew that their people were coming.
Liu Bai came leading the way on horseback, and everyone unconsciously made way for him.
"Xiaobai, you go first. If the city gate is not open, go and knock on it. This is an emergency. Come back as soon as you are done."
Liu Bai nodded to everyone, patted the horse under him, took the torch given by Wang Fugui, and rode away.
Behind him were Wang Bin and Boss He driving a horse-drawn carriage.
"Dad, He Hua gave me a few bottles of hemostatic medicine and asked me to give them to the official."
Wang Bin jumped down with a few bottles of medicine. Wang Fugui quickly asked his people to take the ointment to the official to improve his favor.
I saw that the officers and soldiers were all in the nearest room, a group of people sitting or lying, all of them looked gloomy.
"Boss, it's all because of those villagers who pissed off these disaster victims. We fought hard to protect them, but these gossipers ran away faster than rabbits."
A constable with a mole on the corner of his mouth was very unhappy. He felt that he had suffered a great loss this time.
"A bunch of ignorant peasants, why are you arguing with them? Xiao An is seriously injured, we have to go back immediately. Xiao Zhong, go find the village chief and ask him to arrange a vehicle to take us away."
Although Detective Jin was also very unhappy, their identity was to protect the people, so it was difficult to pursue the matter.
"My Lords, we happen to have some ointment for treating external injuries. If you don't mind, please use it."
Wang Fugui came in with a smile, and Detective Jin's face looked better. He thought it was arranged by the village chief.
"This is fine, the medicine is quite effective. Let's give it to Xiao An and the other two first."
Detective Jin applied the ointment on his wound and found it to be very effective. His arm immediately felt much more comfortable.
Several lightly injured men rushed to help and applied free ointment on the two seriously injured brothers. The wounds on their stomachs were still bleeding, but the bleeding slowed down after the medicine was applied. Wang Bin then promptly handed over gauze.
"Sir, we have some clean gauze here. Give it to everyone."
"Then I won't be polite."
Constable Jin was overjoyed and took the clean gauze and gave it to his two men.
Two of the three bottles of ointment were used for the seriously injured, and one was saved for the slightly injured. All of them were used up.
Wang Fugui and others also helped actively. After everyone had packed up, they were arranged to get on the carriage. Although Wang Bin and Liu Bai came quickly, Su He had already taken care of everything. She watched Wang Bin running back and thought about the possibility of borrowing a carriage. She instructed Cui Niang and others to pack up the carriage. When Wang Bin came back panting, everyone had already driven the mules out and the carriage was almost ready.
Detective Jin was very satisfied when he saw the thick quilt on the carriage. He and other detectives had been partners for many years. This time his injured companion was treated well, and his dissatisfaction subsided a lot.
There were two horse-drawn carriages, 12 constables, plus Wang Bin and Wang Jingui. There was another horse-drawn carriage following behind, which belonged to the village chief. Zhu Laoer and some injured villagers also set off together.
