Gu Qingchen glanced at the girl and replied, "She's my sister."

The old man suddenly realized that he couldn't blame the two of them for being so handsome. They were actually siblings.

The old man looked at Gu Qingchen with a look of embarrassment on his face. He was really poor and destitute in the house. He didn't even have a decent couch and the mattress was tattered. This was a bit of a injustice to the two of them.

The old man sighed and said with some embarrassment: "As you can see, there is no medicine in my house. The little girl's condition is not optimistic now. She has a high fever and the wound is infected. If there is no medicine to suppress it, I'm afraid... ..”

Fate is coming soon.

Gu Qingchen frowned. When he went out to collect the bodies this morning, he saw that the mountains in the distance were tilted and seemed to have collapsed. The mountain road was difficult to walk. He didn't know how far the county seat was, so it was unrealistic to buy medicine.

We killed those gangsters last night and left behind a lot of good horses and supplies, but the medicines were all simple medicines for treating trauma and could not reduce fever.

"What medicines are needed?" Gu Qingchen asked.

There should be medicinal herbs to be found in the mountains now, but he only has a brief understanding of pharmacology but is not proficient in it. He needs to be informed clearly before he can look for it.

The old man thought for a while and came up with several herbs: "Yebazi, earwort, nux vomica, and skullcap are all suitable."

"Can you find it in this mountain?" Gu Qingchen looked at him.

The old man nodded: "Our village is called Tanjiacun. It is built on the mountain. There are many rare medicinal materials in the vast mountains. In the past, people who came to my place to see a doctor always told me what medicinal materials they needed, and they went to find these medicinal materials themselves. They are all common in the mountains. My legs and feet are inconvenient and I cannot go into the mountains. Do you recognize these medicinal materials?"

Gu Qingchen would remember it if he saw it once, but except for Huang Ling, he recognized none of the other medicinal materials, but he didn't know that someone would know about them.

So he said a few words to the old man. The old man thought for a while and then went to the next door as he wanted. Not long after, he brought out a thin little boy.

The little boy was only four years old, with a dark face and a runny nose, and his clothes were shiny. When he saw Gu Qingchen, his eyes lit up and he stared at her without blinking.

The little boy's mother came out right after him. The woman was short and fat, wrapped in a coarse cloth headscarf. She was walking with a dustpan in her hand, picking up the beans in the dustpan, and murmuring: "It's so easy to eat carrots and not worry about it. No matter what he does, there is no way my Niu Dan will lead anyone into the mountains!"

As she spoke, she raised her head, and then the dustpan fell to the ground with a bang, and the beans were scattered all over the floor.

Seeing the two women looking like this, the old man shook his head and pushed Niu Dan in front of Gu Qingchen and told Niu Dan: "Safety first, go and come back quickly."

Niudan sniffed and looked up at Gu Qingchen blankly, but his little eyes were bright. He had never seen such a beautiful person, even prettier than the little green flower in the east end of the village.

Gu Qingchen was in a hurry, and when she saw the kid staring at him, her face turned dark, her face fell down, and her mouth curled up, as if she was frightened and about to cry.

"Want to eat beef?" Gu Qingchen suddenly said when he was about to cry.

When Niu Dan heard about beef, he immediately sniffed and held back his tears. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time and he wanted to eat meat.

"When you take me to find the herbs, I will give you beef."

The child has a simple heart, and in his eyes Gu Qingchen looks like a god in the sky. He will believe whatever Gu Qingchen says and follow Gu Qingchen.

The woman was also dazzled by the beauty and waited for a while before she came back to her senses and yelled: "Niudan" and wanted to chase them out.

The old man quickly stopped her: "Everyone has gone away."

The woman burst into tears, pointed at the old man's nose, and cursed: "You Tan Santou, if my son has any shortcomings, I will hang him under the beam of your house!"

Tan Santou is a well-known old man. He was originally the third eldest son in his family. Unfortunately, things are unpredictable. The two brothers have never returned since the barbarian war. Now that he is over seventy years old, the past cannot be recalled.

As soon as the woman cried, Tan Santou immediately got a headache: "Why are you crying? I told you that this young man is a good person and is not the same as the gangsters yesterday."

"What are they not?" The woman pointed at his nose and said angrily: "You are blind. Didn't you see the corpse of Lao Fang's family was thrown in front of the door yesterday? You're just a weakling. Give her treatment! Damn! If it were me, I would never save her even if she died, I don’t know what kind of person she is."

Seeing that she didn't believe Tan Santou, there was nothing he could do. Yesterday, the gangsters entered the village. Every door in the village was closed, and no one dared to go out. Those who were close naturally heard the words of the gangster leader about massacring the village, and those who were far away heard the noise. He also hid in the house and did not dare to come out.

But no matter whether they are near or far, they all know that these people are not good people, and they cannot blame others for not believing them.

"Come with me." Tan San walked out of the hospital on crutches.

The woman didn't want to go, but she was really curious about what he was going to do, so she followed him while cursing. The cursing stopped suddenly when she saw the little girl lying on the table and the girl who was lying on the wooden couch.

Yesterday, when the gangster entered the village, she was so frightened that she shrank into the house. She only heard him yelling that he wanted to find a doctor to massacre the village. Then she heard Tan Santou's family yelling, and then she saw the body of Lao Fang's family being carried away. Chu Tzu was thrown in front of the door. Who knew that these gangsters were so heartless that they kidnapped such a cardamom girl? How could Widow Li's daughter be beaten and lying here like this?

Tan Santou also shook his head and said he didn't know. Now that the bandits are in the village, no one dares to run around. He doesn't know what the situation is. He only said that Xiaoya was brought back by Gu Qingchen last night, and she looked like this after she was brought back. appearance

This woman and Tan Santou are both simple and honest people. They have lived in the mountains all their lives. Although they have a bad mouth and harsh words and are afraid of getting into trouble, they can distinguish between right and wrong, good people and bad people. They have good intentions and don't have so many tricks. Intestines, let alone see my daughter suffering.

When the woman saw that the situation was exactly as Tan Santou said, she said "wait" and hurried back home. The two of them came and went very quickly across the courtyard wall. Soon the woman came back holding a mattress and other things: " I still have some food, I will bring it to you in a moment, this baby is so pitiful, what a sin."

"Who says it's not the case? The gangsters are cruel in their methods and cruel in nature. You, the second son, should go back quickly. Don't wait for those people to come and implicate you." Tan Santou didn't know that the group of people were dead and was still urging the woman. People go back.

The woman was worried about Xiaoya. There was only one couch in Tan Santou's house. She couldn't let Xiaoya sleep on the wooden table all the time. The woman picked up Xiaoya on the table and said to Tan Santou: "If Xiaoya is really like that The group of people said it would be more dangerous if they left you here, so I will take him back to my place first, and then I will secretly go to Sister-in-law Li's house to check on the situation. If anything happens, I will call you."

Tan Santou thought it was reasonable and agreed. His place was indeed unsafe.

The woman hugged the person and left. Tan Santou then belatedly remembered something. He walked out of the yard and saw that where the corpses of Lao Fang's family were originally dumped, there was only a pool of brown blood, and the corpses were gone. , the body was clearly still there when he went out to borrow herbs last night.

And when he was looking around, he saw a group of people coming from the east end in a menacing manner. Tan Santou stared at the group of people with squinted eyes, unable to see clearly.

When they got closer, he saw clearly that they were from the village. They were each holding a big wooden stick, as if they were trying to settle a score with someone. Tan Santou was confused, how dare they carry a stick and cause chaos like this while the gangster was still in the village. Walk?

Tan Santou immediately became happy, maybe the gangster was beaten to death by them!
