Chapter 306: A Bloody Reunion
he pushed the door open and went straight into the west room, quickly climbed onto the kang bed, and tightly shut the windows.Then she thrust the jade pendant into Ye Gongzi's hand."Master Ye, please...Originally, that sword had been used by Liu the Head of the鏢局 to protect everyone on their journey as refugees.
Later, Luòjiǎo settled on Suijin Beach. His family had nothing useful at home, so they gave it to the Marquis to use against the enemy.
If father were to go on campaign this time, there wouldn't be any way to ask for him back...
The best way is to make a good sword for Father again.
If there are enough materials, we should also make plenty of daggers and arrowheads…
But when she lived in seclusion in her old family courtyard, she wasn't planning on being a blacksmith either, so naturally, she didn't have that many materials.
Now, we can only scour the ground for anything suitable: kitchen knives, sickles, axes for chopping wood, wrenches of various sizes... Anything metallic that seems sturdy enough is considered a treasure. Every single one has been collected by Jia Yin.
I only hope they live up to the technology of their past lives, and after being re-melted and tempered here, they can become Father's self-defense weapon!
Old Li got up early the next day, her mind still troubled. She saw her granddaughter sleeping soundly with limbs sprawled everywhere in the morning light and decided to tuck in the blanket for her. However, she was surprised to find her granddaughter’s little hand covered in dirt, as if she had just touched the bottom of a pot. Old Li sighed, “This little girl, where did she go and get into trouble in her dreams”
Grandma Li went out and found a damp cloth to wipe her granddaughter clean. Holding her chubby little hand, she gave it a kiss and let out a soft sigh.
She felt sorry for her son and wished she could keep him under her wing for his entire life. But her son also felt sorry for his daughter, and couldn't bear to see her wronged...
By the time the sun was high in the sky, Ye Shan rode his carriage back to the village to get something. Just as he was about to enter the courtyard, he saw Dong Mei carrying Jia Yin out.
He hurriedly bowed to the young master and, at last, smiled at Dongmei. "Do you know that I'm coming back and came out specially to greet me The Lord Hou asked me to fetch a few letters and I have to return to the city immediately..."
"Great, I just wanted to talk to you about something." Dongmei put down Jiayin, and Jiayin waved goodbye to them before heading home.
Winter Plum saw the young mistress enter the neighboring courtyard, and only then did she call Ye Shan to the east wing doorway. "There are some things here you take with you, report to the Master, and find someone trustworthy to make some effective weapons."
Yēshān nodded. Dōngméi continued, "This is for Li Sīyé next door. Li Sīyé wants to go on campaign with the Marquis, but his grandmother disagrees."
Yè Shān was delighted and replied in a low voice, "This is great news. The Fourth Master is incredibly capable, an absolute valiant general! With him by the Marquis's side on campaign, the Marquis will have a formidable ally."
Having said that, he hoisted the trunk onto the car and swiftly retrieved his letter before departing.
Jia Yin remembered Grandma, as soon as she stepped into her own courtyard, she ran to the main house.
The old woman only ate a little bit for breakfast. The whole family knew that the old woman had gotten angry, so they could only serve her carefully.
Tao Hongying just came out from the kitchen, walking face-to-face with her daughter. She instructed: "Funiya, mother has cooked porridge. You should accompany grandma and eat a few more bowls later. Please coax grandma well, okay"
"Understood, Mother."
Jia Yin nodded, and just as she was about to speak, a carriage suddenly raced down the road at the village entrance, kicking up dust all the way to their doorstep.
Jia Yin thought Ye Shan had gone and returned, but when the carriage stopped, a young man fell off with a thud from atop it. His back was covered in blood, quite frightening to behold.
Tao Hong was so frightened that she threw the rice bowl and immediately shielded her daughter behind her.
The young man raised his head and suddenly cried out, “Fourth Sister-in-law, it’s me! Help me quickly!”
Tao Hongying took a closer look and it turned out to be Mr. Yan! She quickly ran out!
After the mountains and valleys were built, Young Master Yan never appeared again. He had Zhou Gongzi handle all the payment, and everyone assumed he was being kept at home to study or had gone to another state for further education.
Who would have thought that we'd meet again under such circumstances.
"Mother! Come quickly, Young Master Yan has had an accident!" Tao Hongying didn't care about anything else. While calling for help, she tried to pull Young Master Yan up.
Though unwilling, Yan Gongzi struggled to his feet and pointed towards the car. "Sister-in-law, my wife is inside, she was given abortion pills, please save her! Doctor, find a great doctor!"
"What" Tao Hongying instinctively glanced at the car, almost her legs went weak.
In the carriage, lay a young woman. Her ivory dress was stained with blood, and her face was as white as death, clearly unconscious.
She quickly jumped into the car and carried the person out.
Jia Yin ran with all her might, planning to find a renowned doctor at the back row of houses. Unfortunately, her short legs were really letting her down.
Luckily, they didn't run very far and bumped into a few patrol officers led by Uncle Zhao. They immediately helped to look for the person, and then carried Jia Yin to Li's house.
In Li Jiazheng's landlord's house, a young woman was carried onto the kang. Li Laotai and Tao Hongying helped her take off her skirt, fetch water, apply cloth towels, and wipe away bloodstains, all in a flurry of activity.
The woman, perhaps sensing it, covered her stomach and cried out.
Old Mrs. Li looked on with concern and whispered, "My dear girl, don't be afraid, the Divine Doctor will be here soon, he'll definitely cure you."
"Yes, this is our Li family's home, not outside. Don't be afraid. Young Master Yan lived here for a long time before, and we have a divine doctor here who will definitely cure you!"
Tao Hongying was a mother herself, so she understood the woman's feelings perfectly at this time.
On the road fleeing famine, she carried Funiu with her, constantly worried about the child's well-being.
Luckily, Fu Niuer has always been strong and was born safely. She grew up well until now.
The woman, not sure if she believed those words, grabbed Tao Hongying's hand as if seeking some strength.
Tao Hongying squeezed her hand back, whispering about some of her girlhood habits and quirks, all interesting and cute. The woman listened as if she were mesmerized, no longer crying out in pain, and the bleeding below lessened.
At this time, Dr. Zhang finally arrived.
After carefully inquiring about the patient's condition, he quickly took a bottle of medicine from the medicine chest and dispensed one pill.
"Dissolve this pill with water and pour it down her throat. Keep her like this for now, I'm going to brew some medicine. Luckily, there are a few young wives in the village who are also pregnant, otherwise we wouldn't be prepared at all..."
As he spoke, he hurried out.
Young Master Yan leaned on a chair, straining with all his might, waiting for Zhang, the divine physician, to come out. The moment he did, Young Master Yan immediately asked, “Zhang Uncle, how is my wife”
He only asked his daughter-in-law, not the children, which made Zhang Shenyi's face look a little better.
"Don't worry, I won't die. For now, the child should be safe as well."
Having said that, he took another bottle of powder medicine and threw it to Li Laosi and Li Laoer who had just rushed back.
"Patch him up, don't let him look like this half-dead thing. If word gets out, people will think I can't even treat a simple injury."
This old man has always been sharp-tongued but kind-hearted. He doesn't speak kindly, and everyone is used to it.
Young Master Yan was carried to the west wing, stripped of his dirty clothes and trousers, had his wounds cleaned and bandaged.
Li Lao'er and Li Laosi, along with others, all frowned.
I don't know who beat Sir Yan, but they really went all out. His entire buttocks and thighs are bruised and battered.
In some places, it was bruised and swollen, in other places, it was already torn apart, with blood and flesh sticking to his pants. When he took them off, Young Master Yan cried out in pain, beads of sweat pouring down his forehead.
But he didn't utter a sound, apparently not wanting to worry his neighbor's wife.
Everyone held him in even higher regard, his movements becoming increasingly deft and gentle.
After much hard work, both the wounded and the healers were exhausted.
Zhang Shenyi was very quick, and soon both doses of medicine were cooked.
Young Master Yan didn't ask any questions, he simply lifted the cup and drank it down in one gulp.w that Abe has left, Jiaxi and Jia'an will also leave. In a few days, Jairong and Li Ge'er will also go to their posts...Just thinking about how much emptier the mansion would be, Wan'er couldn't hel...
