Xiao Song felt a chill in his heart.
Don't care about the thieves at your feet.
Immediately ran towards the yard.
In the center of the courtyard, four people were lying crookedly.
On the left, there was a circle of people around. Yang Feng was kneeling on the ground, speaking in a very anxious tone: "Dad! Wake up, wake up."
Xiao Song walked over quickly and saw Xu Zhengxiang holding Xiao Changhe's head. Doctor Pei was also half-kneeling there, taking Xiao Changhe's pulse.
"What's wrong with dad?" Xiao Song asked anxiously.
He looked around and fixed his gaze on Xiao Mu's face.
Xiao Mu looked grave and said, "Dad was injured by a thief."
Xu Zhengxiang remained silent.
Her eyes were fixed on Divine Doctor Pei.
Seeing that Divine Doctor Pei finally let go of his hand to diagnose the pulse, she immediately asked: "Divine Doctor Pei, how is my old man doing?"
Doctor Pei looked serious and said after a moment of silence: "The internal organs were damaged and two bones were broken."
"ah?"
The rest of the people were shocked, and even the old lady couldn't help but sigh.
Only Xu Zhengxiang's expression remained unchanged. She looked at Divine Doctor Pei and asked calmly: "Are you worried about your life?"
Seeing her being so calm, Divine Doctor Pei was also very surprised: "As long as I'm here, my life can definitely be saved, but I don't know how it will recover."
Xu Zhengxiang seemed to finally feel relieved: "As long as I can save his life, no matter whether he is paralyzed or lame, I can take care of him for the rest of his life."
Hearing this, Divine Doctor Pei suddenly felt a hint of envy for some reason.
"Don't worry, I will do my best to treat you!"
Xiao Song brought a door panel, and everyone slowly lifted Xiao Changhe to the door panel. Then Xiao Song and Xiao Mu carried Xiao Changhe into the house.
After settling Xiao Changhe, Xiao Mu came to the yard again.
Yuanbao and Huzi were squatting next to the thieves, staring at them with wide eyes. Yuanbao was even more ready to attack, as if if these people moved, he could step forward and bite their throats.
Li Zheng also rushed over with people.
Seeing a few people lying in the yard, Satozheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Mu, are your family members okay?" Li Zheng asked.
"My father was injured by a thief!" Xiao Mu said with a bit of cruelty.
Li Zheng was also surprised when he heard this.
"How is it? Is it dangerous?"
"Divine Doctor Pei is still treating her. There shouldn't be any big problem." Xiao Mu said.
"What to do with these thieves?" he asked next.
"I just checked, and they came to a total of 23 people." Li Zheng said.
"The 18 at the entrance of the village, plus the 5 here, make exactly 23. But they still have a dozen people at the top of the mountain.
I am going to hand these people over to County Magistrate Liu and ask the magistrate to send people up the mountain to arrest them immediately. "
"No need." Xiao Mu said.
"Ah?" Li Zheng didn't understand what Xiao Mu meant.
"Bring them to the county government, and then the county government will send people up the mountain. It will take too long. I'm afraid that the people on the mountain will get the news and run away." Xiao Mu said.
"I will take a few people up the mountain now and catch all these thieves."
"good!"
Li Zheng was originally worried that the thieves on the mountain had escaped, but when he heard Xiao Mu say this, he immediately agreed to come down.
Xiao Mu didn't waste any time and selected ten strong men from the villagers.
In addition, they also need a leader.
In order to get a chance of pardon, 17 of the 18 captured thieves wanted to take them to the mountains.
In the end, Xiao Mu chose the one who looked smarter, and the group set off immediately.
Xiao family.
After Divine Doctor Pei administered the acupuncture, Xiao Changhe's breathing finally calmed down.
Xiao Jing was also called back from school.
When he saw Xiao Changhe's current state, he burst into tears.
"Dad, are you okay? I will never live in the school again. I want to stay at home. If I am at home, I will definitely protect you."
Hearing Xiao Jing's words, Xu Zhengxiang's eyes turned red.
Her tone was rare and gentle: "Silly boy, even if you are at home, your father will not let you take risks."
"Miracle Doctor Pei, can you cure my father?" Xiao Jing turned his attention to Pei Shu again.
Divine Doctor Pei nodded, "Don't worry, I will try my best. It's just that there is a shortage of elderberries now. I have to go to the mountains to find elderberries tomorrow."
"What do elderberries look like? I'll go!"
Xiao Jing said immediately.
"You study hard and I will take care of things at home." Xiao Song objected immediately.
"Study, study, you always ask me to study. But I can't just watch my father get hurt and just ignore everything."
"Okay, you don't have to argue. None of you know the medicinal materials, so what's the use of going to the mountain?" said Divine Doctor Pei.
"I know him, let me go."
After hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Ye Luoxin.
"Sister-in-law, how come you know everything!" Xiao Jing showed admiration again.
"You must take me with you. I don't want to be a useless person who can only read."
Xu Zhengxiang wanted to say something, but seeing Xiao Jing's firm attitude, she silently shut her mouth.
"Xiao Jing," Ye Luoxin did not follow his wishes.
“My family doesn’t just want you to study, but doesn’t let you do anything else.
But at this stage, if you study hard, you can make the greatest contribution to your family. "
When Xiao Jing heard this, his expression was a little confused.
"Why?"
"Because in this family, neither of your brothers can study. Only you can hope to change your identity through studying.
Although we can make money now, there is no one in the officialdom. Sooner or later we will encounter big problems in the future, and we can only count on you for all this. "
Xiao Jing finished listening. I feel a sense of responsibility that I have never felt before.
He used to think that everyone in the family had something to do and he was the only freeloader.
Only now did he realize how heavy a responsibility he had.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely study hard and become a high official in the future to protect you."
"good!"
Ye Luoxin nodded happily.
"Also, I have to come back every day to take care of dad. Otherwise, I will feel uneasy."
Xiao Jing also made his own request.
"Okay!" Ye Luoxin also agreed.
That night, none of the Xiao family slept.
Xiao Changhe woke up several times, and then passed out quickly.
Fortunately, with Divine Doctor Pei on guard, everyone feels more at ease.
There has been no news from Xiao Mu.
It wasn't until dawn that voices finally came from outside.
"Aunt Xiao, Brother Xiao asked me to come and report that he is safe! They have arrested all the bandits on the mountain and are now sending them to the county government!"
"Great!" Xu Zhengxiang walked out.
As the night passed, she seemed much older, and she even had a few white hairs on her temples.
"Yes!" The person who came to report the news was the second son of the Niu family.
He was also one of the people selected by Xiao Mu to go to the mountain.
"It was a coincidence this time. Not only did we catch the bandits, we also found the treasure they stole!"
