: A high and low
The village is not big. Du Qiong brought seven or eight people back shortly after he went there, all of them were men, and seemed to have called all the strong people in the village over.
The leader was a man in his fifties with a clear face. He stood out from the crowd, first looked at Chang Ning and Han Mingyuan, and then looked at Zhang Feng with an inquiring gaze.
Zhang Feng leaned close to his ear and expressed his guess. The two discussed a few words with a serious expression, and finally made the decision to "save people first".
Village chief Cao Nianshun squatted in front of Han Mingyuan, lowered his head and looked at his eyes hesitated for a moment when he saw his appearance, and then he returned to normal.
He lifted his collar to check his infected wound, then took his pulse, frowned, and looked gloomy.
"Village Chief, is this young man... still saved?"
One of the young men who followed him asked in a low voice, "I'm afraid I'll have more air intake and less air inhalation."
Cao Nianshun pondered for a moment and muttered in a low voice, "Strange."
The wound is penetrated and pierced the heart and mouth. Most people are afraid of death on the spot, but it is also a pity that this young master's heart is two points higher than others.
But even so, the degree of trauma of the wound is very serious. It will take more than half a day to get to their village, and it is a miracle that he can still live.
"There is still a rescue, but... it's hard!"
Chang Ning raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and did not give Cao Nianshun a chance to react. He knelt down with a "thump" and cried and said, "Village Chief, please save my elder brother. When my elder brother is ready, he will definitely be a cow and a horse for you, and will give you a care for the elderly and see you off!"
Han Mingyuan: "."
If it weren't for not being able to get up, Han Mingyuan would really want to turn over and kick her immediately.
He is the regent, and he is a cattle and horse for a commoner, and he is a caretaker for the elderly and sees the death of his life. Is this appropriate?
A soldier can be killed but not humiliated!
But thinking about my half-dead state, being a cattle and being a horse will damage your majesty, and being a retired person and endure the life... is still acceptable.
Cao Nianshun bent down and helped Chang Ning up, saying helplessly: "Send it. There is no need to give it to you in the end."
He wants to live two more years and not rush to die.
Cao Nianshun was so kind that he couldn't bear to see Han Mingyuan's life at such a young age. He turned around and said, "Two people who are strong, please move the person to the thatched hut west of the village for the time being!"
"That thatched hut when sheep madman died?"
"Yes, no one lives in that thatched hut now, let's settle the siblings for the time being!"
Chang Ning did not feel disgusted at all and hurriedly thanked everyone: "Thank you for taking it in by the village chief! Darong did not express his gratitude. When my elder brother wakes up, he will definitely let him kneel down to thank you in person!"
Han Mingyuan: Otherwise, I would rather choose to die!
Cao Nianshun said: "The girl is so serious, it's just a simple task, but the conditions in the hut are not very good, so she will suffer a little grievance."
"Don't be wronged, don't be wronged."
Every family has taboos. If a person like Han Mingyuan who can die at any time dies in his own home, it will be a great "unlucky".
Everyone was willing to agree that they would live in the village, which was already a great kindness for Han Mingyuan.
Several young and strong men carried Han Mingyuan to the west of the village. The village chief fell behind and stopped Chang Ning and asked: "Girl, where are you from? What are you doing in Liangcheng, Muzhou? How could you meet a robber?"
Chang Ning remained calm and lied: "We are from Yanzhou. Because we were suffering from family, our parents died, so my elder brother took me to Liangcheng to join relatives. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the relatives had already moved away. We wanted to find a place in Liangcheng, but who knew that we met a robber on the way. My elder brother was beaten by them to save me...wuwu..."
Cao Nianshun's eyes flashed with a strange look, but he was silent and sighed: "So it's a pitiful person!"
He patted Chang Ning on the shoulder and asked softly: "What are your two siblings' plans next?"
Chang Ning sniffed and said, "The mountains are high and the road is long. We no longer want to travel back. If the eldest brother doesn't die, we plan to find a village to live in and live a safe life in the future."
"If my elder brother dies, I will bury him, and then I will find a village to live in, and live a peaceful life in the future."
Anyway, her stable life is settled, and as for Han Mingyuan, it all depends on her personal fortune.
"That's good." Cao Nianshun said: "Anyway, we have to find a place. Our village has been peaceful in recent years. It is next to the mountains to the west. If you don't want to leave, you can leave behind the land to open up and farm, at least you won't be hungry."
Since the wars continued in the past few years and the population on the border dropped sharply, many fields have been abandoned. If Chang Ning and others were willing, they could fully support themselves if they reclaimed a few acres of land.
Chang Ning's eyes lit up when he heard this. Farming was something she wanted for life. If she hadn't been concerned about the wounded Han Mingyuan, she would have to carry a hoe and open the land immediately.
"Thank you, the village chief, I chose to open up the land and I will go farming!"
This was the first time Cao Nianshun was so happy to see someone farming. He felt that the little girl was simple and thought to himself that he had to remind the villagers to take care of their brother and sister more.
The thatched hut mentioned by the village chief is relatively lateral, almost close to the edge of the village.
Because no one has taken care of it for a long time, the thatch on the roof has turned black and moldy, and the house is covered with dust and spider webs.
Han Mingyuan was temporarily placed outside the hut. Zhang Feng and Du Qiong spontaneously helped clean up the house and barely stayed in it. At least there was no problem in temporarily covering up the wind and avoiding the rain.
"Big Niu, go to the yard to get some clean straw and put it on the bed. Erqing, go and get some well water and boil it for later use."
"Okay village chief."
The thatched hut is very small, with only one room, and the hall is the entrance, and next to the hall is a simple bed.
There was a madman living in the past. Since the madman died, the house has been empty for more than half a year, and there is basically nothing to use in the house.
After the bed was laid, Cao Nianshun ordered Daniu and Erqing to carry Han Mingyuan into the room.
Chang Ning wanted to help him go to the earth stove outside the house to make a fire, but was stopped by Cao Nianshun.
"At first glance, you are the young men and women in the city. The firewood is wet and difficult to ignite, so don't bother."
Although Chang Ning wanted to be addicted to it, he still obediently stayed beside Han Mingyuan and wiped the filth on his body first.
While cleaning up, he whispered: "Brother, I knelt down for you for the sake of yourselves. When you are healed, I have to give me one, and I have to pay it back."
Han Mingyuan: "..."
Han Mingyuan suddenly wanted to open his eyes to see what the life-saving benefactor who always wanted him to "kowtow" to others looked like.
After Erqing boiled the water, Cao Nian took out a tightly wrapped burlap bag from his pocket. After opening it, he placed knives of various shapes inside. They looked small and delicate, but they were different from scalpels.
Cao Nianshun disinfected the knives he had not used for a long time, and then asked Daniu Erqing to hold Han Mingyuan down.
