On the second day, Hailing County gradually calmed down from the panic of the thieves' attack.
The streets resumed their former bustle.
The only difference is that in the small streets and alleys, many people's doors are covered with white flags, and the sound of crying is endless.
Xu He went to find his teacher and saw that he and his uncle were busy cleaning up the aftermath and caring for the dead and injured, so he said goodbye and returned to Xu Mansion in Fenghuang Dun.
As soon as he got home, Xu He saw Xu Peng and his uncle Xie Bin, whom he had not seen for a day, standing in the court talking to Xie Liangcai.
"Uncle! Brother Peng!" Xu He was overjoyed.
The two of them were very happy to see Xu He.
After several people went to sit down in the main room, Xu He learned about what happened yesterday from Xu Peng and his uncle.
It turned out that after Xu Peng lured Xiao Hu Baihu to Hailing, he knew that Xu He missed his uncle's family, and he was worried that the Xie family brothers were not familiar with the world, so he said goodbye and returned to Dong'anji.
After arriving at Dong'an Market, the originally bustling market town had turned into scorched earth.
After searching around, he could not find the Xie family.
Later, I went to several nearby villages to search, and finally found out from the villagers that there was a reed field in the salt field about ten miles away from Jinan, Dong'an.
The reed field where they were hiding had been burned by the thieves. Xu Peng guessed that the Xie brothers would definitely find another reed field to hide in to prevent the thieves from coming again.
So he searched for a long time and finally found a boat of people hiding in the reeds.
By this time, the people on the boat were already very hungry.
Xu Peng held the boat and went to the nearby villagers' houses to buy some simple meals to keep everyone satisfied.
Before the meal was finished, Xie Bin came over on horseback.
When the two sides met, they felt lucky to have survived the disaster.
However, both Dong'anji's home and the water village were burned down by thieves, and the Xie family had nowhere to go, so Xie Bin led everyone back to Hailing to find the Xu Mansion.
When Xu He heard this, he suddenly thought of the oval-faced girl on the sandbank. He quickly asked Xie Bin: "Uncle, where is the brother Feng Xian who took refuge on the same boat?"
Xie Bin looked at his nephew with a strange look on his face: "He's with your mother!"
Xu He was embarrassed, knowing that Feng Xiaoniu's true gender had been exposed.
But after all, he was safe. Fengfang gave himself a copy of "Commentaries on Mao's Poems" and he saved his daughter. No matter how you say it, it's even.
It's a pity that this girl has a charming and intellectual face, and her figure is also extremely hot. But she is not a soft rice lover. It's such a pity that her heart bleeds.
After everyone had dinner, they decided to move back to Xujia Village tomorrow. Xie Bin had to stay at his sister's house because Dong'an Jishui Village and his house were burned down.
Although Xu He's home was small, with only three thatched cottages, Uncle Jia's house was tidied up, and the Xie brothers could live with them.
At this time, Rugao's miracle doctor Hou Desheng came out of the room and was very happy to see Xu He: "Mr. Xu, fortunately you arranged us properly that day, otherwise I would have been killed by a thief!"
Xu He quickly stood up and said "Don't dare" and asked about his aunt's condition. Hou Desheng said to Xie Bin: "I see that Mrs. There are so many, I decided to stay in Hailing to treat the injured for a few more days!"
"During this period of time, I will nurse and recuperate your lady! But..."
Upon hearing this, Xie Bin immediately clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Hou, if you have anything to say, please speak directly!"
Hou Desheng said: "The reason why your wife's condition is so serious is that, in the final analysis, it is the use of medicine to treat tuberculosis. Ginseng and deer antlers are often used as medicine, which costs a lot. The old man can go to the doctor for free, but the cost of medicine..."
Upon hearing this, Xu He immediately went into the house and took fifty taels of silver from his mother, 10 taels of which he handed to Hou Desheng, and the other forty taels to his uncle Xie Bin.
"Shenyi Doctor Hou, these ten taels are my aunt's medical expenses. Please take care of me during this time!"
"This..." Hou Desheng pushed the money in front of Xu He: "Forget the medical fee. If it hadn't been for Mr. Xu this time, the old man's life would not have been saved!"
Xu He returned the money to Hou Desheng and said: "Sir, doctors are like parents, so you must keep this money."
Then he turned to Xie Bin and said, "Uncle, in the afternoon you go to the drugstore to get medicine for your aunt. You must have good medicinal materials. Don't be reluctant to spend money. If there is not enough, I will get it again."
Xie Bin knew very well the situation of the Xu family. Ever since his brother-in-law Xu Wei disappeared on his way to Jinling to take the provincial examination, the Xu family's family situation had gone from bad to worse, and they even had to rely on themselves to support themselves from time to time.
But why is his nephew suddenly so rich now?
Seeing the question mark on Xie Bin's face, Lao Jia, who had been silent for the whole time, smiled and said: "Inspector Xie, don't worry, Xiao He took the old man and his son to do some business, so I have saved a lot of money recently!"
Xu He added: "There are also rewards from the clan and the county for taking the case examination!"
The rewards from the county are nothing. Xu He just made up a reason to reassure his uncle about the source of large sums of money.
Sure enough, when Xie Bin and Hou Langzhong heard this, they immediately understood.
They couldn't help but have a thought in their minds: "It is said that books have their own golden houses. This statement is true. Xu He just won the first prize in the county examination. His family immediately turned upside down. When he comes back, he must urge his children to study!"
Xu He didn't know what he said, but the descendants of the Hou family and the Xie family brothers would silently endure a lot, a lot in the future.
At this time, he was still thinking about how to deal with Feng Xiaozhu.
He thought for a long time and finally went out to look for Xu Song in the backyard.
When we arrived at the backyard, after the announcement, uncle Xu Song had just returned.
During this time, Xu Song dragged his sick body around a lot. When they first met, Xu He was shocked.
The uncle's body seemed to be in good shape two days ago, but today his eye sockets are sunken and his face looks tired.
"Uncle, Hou Desheng, a famous doctor from Rugao, is a guest in our hospital. Let me ask him to come and take your pulse!" Xu He said.
Xu Song leaned on the couch, coughed a few times, and whispered: "Okay, please ask Mr. Hou to come over later!"
After talking about the gossip, Xu He told the truth about how to meet Feng Xiaozhu and asked him to help with the matter.
When Xu Song heard that the daughter of Fengfang unexpectedly met Xu He, he couldn't help but sit up straight, stroking his long white beard and looking at Xu He.
He stared at Xu He for a long time, which made Xu He a little scared, so Xu He said: "Uncle, look at this..."
Xu Song smiled: "This Fengfang, I helped him write a letter to the Chief Assistant, but he was so anxious that he left the woman behind and hurried to the capital!"
Xu He also followed suit and slandered: "Old official is a fan, isn't he?"
Xu Song pondered: "This matter involves women's reputation..."
"Let's do it this way. It's not very safe outside the city. The fewer people who know about it in the courtyard, the better. You let her live with your mother for a while first. When the situation becomes clear, I will arrange a courtyard for her to live in!"
Okay, did you pass the blame?
