Chapter 131 Someone is injured
They didn't know that this peace was only temporary, and they didn't know that when hunters with overwhelming advantages like Gu Wenxuan and others were no longer in the forest, the wild animals that were previously scared away by them would return to their original territories.
So, on the sixth day after they entered the mountains, they encountered a group of wild boars without any psychological preparation.
Among that group of wild boars, there were five adult wild boars and more than ten half-grown wild boars that were born this year. As excited as the group of people were when they first saw the half-grown wild boars that had left the team, they were just as terrified when they were chased by a group of wild boars later.
They fled in panic, and two of them did not react fast enough, so the wild boar pierced their thighs and stomachs.
Although the others reacted quickly, they were still injured to varying degrees while running or climbing trees.
Fortunately, there were a few brave people among them. They threw away the sticks, hoes, etc. in their hands, buying precious time for the two most seriously injured people to climb up the tree and hide.
A group of people waited on the tree for nearly quarter of an hour. The wild boars that could not attack the humans on the tree might have been starving because of the exhaustion. They grunted for a while, and then left in groups to find food elsewhere.
The villagers who survived the disaster hurriedly carried the two seriously injured villagers down the mountain.
The first place they went to was Bai Jingzhou's house, but neither Bai Jingzhou nor Bai Chong was at home, so there was no one who could treat their injuries.
Ning Cuizhi acted promptly, took out two packets of hemostatic powder and gave them to them, asking them to sprinkle it on the wounds, and suggested that they go to the county clinic immediately to see a doctor.
They were reluctant to part with the money and refused to leave Ning Cuizhi's house, insisting that she go find Bai Jingzhou and Bai Chong.
Ning Cuizhi was a woman, and even if she wanted to chase them away, she didn't have the strength to do so. So she simply sent her youngest son to find Bai Lizheng.
"Uncle Lizheng, my Jingzhou and his father are not at home, and I don't know where they are now. These people insist that I go find them, where can I find them?"
"I asked them to go to the county clinic but they refused and stayed at my house. If anything happens to them, won't they blame me?"
Bai Lizheng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Didn't he warn these people not to go to the mountains, don't go to the mountains, but did they listen? They all thought they were so capable. Now, what's wrong?
The two most seriously injured had blood on their faces. Instead of rushing to the county clinic to see a doctor, they came to Bai Chong's house to make a scene.
What? Do they want to bully Bai Chong’s wife and children while Bai Chong is not at home?
Bai Lizheng pointed at these people and started scolding them, and those people had no choice but to leave in shame.
Before those people left her house, Ning Cuizhi said to Li Zheng, "Uncle Li Zheng, I gave them two packets of hemostatic medicine. You have to ask them to give me a promise, otherwise I gave them the medicine out of kindness and they use this as an excuse to come to my house and make trouble in the future."
It's not that she has a petty mind, but the behavior of these people after they got the powder really chilled her heart.
Upon hearing this, Bai Lizheng immediately looked at the few people who had sprinkled powder on the wound to stop the bleeding, "You don't need them to give you permission. If anyone of them uses this as an excuse to come to your house and cause trouble in the future, you can send someone to find me, and I will bring justice to your family."
Those who really had something to hide subconsciously avoided Bai Lizheng's sharp gaze and did not look at him.
Ning Cuizhi was completely relieved, and she thanked Bai Lizheng solemnly.
Bai Lizheng waved his hand, "I'll have my tribesmen take them to the county town right now."
He asked someone to watch them go to the clinic and supervise the whole process. Even if these people wanted to go back to the village and make up stories, accusing Ning Cuizhi of having problems with the powder she gave them, they would not be able to succeed with the "witness" sent by Bai Lizheng.
Hearing Bai Lizheng say this, those people couldn't help but say:
"There's no need to go to the clinic, right?"
"That's right. Our bleeding has stopped. Why do we need to go to the clinic?"
"You guys are bleeding anyway. I just got a bruise, but it will heal on its own in a few days."
"..."
Bai Lizheng frowned, "You were hit by a wild boar's tusk. How can you not go to the clinic? Hemostatic powder can only stop bleeding. Do you want the wound to rot and fester if you don't go to the clinic?"
Although with the current level of medical technology, going to a clinic may not necessarily cure the disease, but if you don't go, the chance of death will definitely increase by several percent.
"And you guys, who knows if you have broken any bones, you should all go to the clinic to get your pulse checked."
Everyone shook their heads, waved their hands, and said at once that "it was fine, no need to go to the clinic." In order to prevent Bai Lizheng from forcing them to go, many people simply left after saying "I have something to do at home."
In the end, only the two villagers who were hit by the wild boar's tusks were sent to the county clinic for treatment.
The parents, wives and children of the two men burst into tears, but fortunately, both families took out money to treat the two men's injuries.
As for the fact that they felt more and more at a loss and became more and more angry the more they thought about it, so they took their families, clansmen and relatives who were on good terms with them to go to the homes of other villagers who had gone into the mountains with the two men to cause trouble and demand money, the Bai family and the Gu family were not surprised at all.
Li, Lin Shuzhen, Ning Cuizhi and others who stayed in the village secretly rejoiced more than once, thankful that their two families had a firm attitude and did not let these people who could only take advantage but not suffer any loss rely on them.
Gu Wenxuan, Bai Jingzhou and others who worked hard from dawn to dusk knew nothing about this until the steward of the Mu family arrived in a hurry with the Mu family badge and Mu Hanzhi's handwritten letter. Only then did Ning Cuizhi ask Bai Jingzhou's third cousin to go to the town and find Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan who had "disappeared" for a long time.
Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan knew that the Mu family's steward was here to buy wine, so they handed over the affairs in the town to Bai Chong, Gu Yongming and others, and then took Bai Jingshan, Fang Youfu and Fang Youcai back to the village.
After returning to the village, they did not stay there for long, but immediately went to the county town with the Mu family's steward to meet Mu Hanzhi.
Yes, Mu Hanzhi also came, but too many people recognized his face. In order not to attract attention, he only sent the steward to Baijia Village with the Mu family badge and his personal letter to invite people.
Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou left in the Mu family's carriage. On the dirt road at the entrance of the village, they passed another carriage going to Baijia Village.
That carriage had come to Baijia Village twice recently. If Gu Wenxuan's view had not been blocked by the carriage, she would have discovered that this carriage was actually the one that Gu Jin and his son and Gu Yongmei had ridden in before.
