Farming and reading family

This was within Gao E's expectations. After all, he was injured like this, and was rolling in the mud and soaking in cold water. Except for a tough guy like Senior Chu, most people couldn't endure it.

There is no other way now, except to prevent them from getting cold and then use a cloth dipped in water to cool them down.

In fact, during the day, Gao E thought about asking Luo Dagang to return to Huixian County to inform Xu Boyan, but the three injured were all men, and if something happened, it would be difficult for the three women to handle it.

Now that Senior Chu has woken up, Zhu Mo and Bai Hao have also been cleaned up, Gao E asked Luo Dagang to return to the county overnight.

Luo Dagang rode away without saying a word.

Chu Rong sighed as he looked at the night sky: "If it were during the day, we could still go and pick some herbs, but now it all depends on their luck."

Gao E felt that these two people would not die so easily, otherwise they would not have met her.

Bai Hao only had some mediocre skills, so his injuries were less severe than Zhu Mo's. Zhu Mo was not only seriously injured, but also fully alert as soon as he was conscious. Only Lu Qingluo could get close to him, and he relied on his quick reaction to avoid being hurt by him.

The three of them didn't sleep all night. At dawn, the fever of two of them finally subsided. It seemed that they had survived.

Gao E cooked another can of chicken soup and gave them some.

"Should we go back now, or wait for Luo Dagang to come?" Jin Ruyi got up early and looked around. This place was quite hidden.

"Wait for Luo Dagang to come." Gao E did not hesitate.

Xu Boyan does things perfectly. Luo Dagang will go back and report to Xu Boyan, and he will definitely take action. If they move at this time, it will disrupt his arrangements.

"Why do I feel that you trust Xu Boyan very much?" Jin Ruyi was suspicious.

In her opinion, Gao E and Xu Boyan were the kind of people who were at loggerheads with each other.

Gao E smiled and said, "Why do you come up with this idea?"

Jin Ruyi just had this idea for some unknown reason.

After eating something, Chu Rong suggested picking some herbs.

"Senior Chu, can you pick herbs?" Gao E had no intention of letting him go to pick herbs.

"In the past, there was a lack of medical care and medicine. I didn't know anything and could only wait to die. Later, after suffering from illness for a long time, I became a doctor and got to know a lot of people." Chu Rong said simply.

He didn't explain why there was a shortage of medical care and medicine before, or why he got sick later.

"Everything will be fine in the future." Gao E comforted, "Luo Dagang has already gone back. He will probably bring medicine soon. We won't treat him randomly." Gao E stopped Chu Rong from going to collect herbs. "Senior Chu, you should also have a good rest."

Chu Rong felt quite useless: "You said that the two of them were followers of the Hexian County Magistrate, so how did they get caught by those people in Centipede Ridge?"

"You'll have to ask our county magistrate." Gao E did not explain.

"Forget it, official affairs have nothing to do with us." Chu Rong now hates officialdom.

A few people waited until noon, and Luo Dagang came back with boiled medicine and some wound medicine.

Jin Ruyi glanced at Gao E. She felt that Gao E knew that Xu Boyan would do this.

Only after Zhu Mo and Bai Hao drank the medicine and applied the golden wound medicine did they feel relieved.

"Master Xu wants my elder sister to take them both back to Baotou Village first." Luo Dagang brought the message.

Gao E nodded: "Then let's go back along the path and walk slowly."

With the medicine, Zhu Mo and Bai Haotian woke up, but they were very weak after waking up.

"Alive?" Lu Qingluo turned around and asked when he heard the noise.

Zhu Mo opened his mouth slightly, his cracked lips hurting so much that he gritted his teeth: "Who are you?"

"One of them woke up." Lu Qingluo ignored Zhu Mo.

The carriage in front stopped, and Gao E and Jin Ruyi got off.

"Give him some water." Gao E walked to the side of the carriage.

Lu Qingluo reluctantly gave Zhu Mo some water.

After drinking the water, Zhu Mo became completely conscious and realized that it was Gao and his group.

"Thank you." Zhu Mo looked at Lu Qingluo.

Lu Qingluo ignored him.

"What about the other one?" Gao E had been thinking for so long, could Bai Hao be dead?

Zhu Mo touched Bai Hao's wrist and said, "It's stable now."

"That's good." Gao E nodded.

They did not stop to travel at night, but their speed was very slow, and they did not reach Batou Village until the next night.

Bai Hao had woken up on the way, but he was too weak and kept lying in the carriage.

The group went straight to Luo Dagang's house and arranged Zhu Mo, Bai Hao and Chu Rong to stay there first.

Xiao Chuyun and He Jiabei were in the same room. When He Jiabei heard the noise, he immediately got up to check. Seeing that it was Luo Dagang who came back, he greeted him warmly. Then, when he saw Zhu Mo and the others being helped in, he stood aside and said nothing.

"Go back and rest." Luo Dagang glanced at He Jiabei.

He Jiabei immediately returned to the house and turned off the lights, but he looked outside through the crack in the door with some curiosity.

"Don't look at anything inappropriate." Xiao Chuyun reminded.

"She's not a beauty." He Jiabei didn't care, but he couldn't figure out what was going on, so he sat back on his bed. "Three more injured people are at home."

"Maybe he encountered a wild beast." Xiao Chuyun felt that this was very likely.

He Jiabei didn't want to talk to Xiao Chuyun. He was wondering whether he could stay in the Chen family for long. He originally thought it was just an ordinary landlord family, but after getting to know them better, he felt that there was something fishy going on.

Apart from anything else, he had never seen any family acquire so much property in just one or two years. It seemed like the money came out of thin air.

After settling Chu Rong and the others, Gao E went back to ask Lianxin and her mother to come and help boil the medicine. Now that they were home, everything was much more convenient.

Xu Boyan had already met with the people who came to He County to investigate, and after confirming that Xu Boyan was not injured, his two followers also left.

Yishunbo stood beside Qiu Zhen like a quail, with the servants on both sides lowering their heads.

"Are you sure he is not Xu Boyan's subordinate?" Qiu Zhen asked lazily.

"That's definitely not the case," Yishunbo assured. "There are three of them, all seriously injured. Xu Boyan and his two men are fine."

Qiu Zhen was a little uncertain. Everyone said that Xu Boyan was so smart that he was almost like a demon. Unfortunately, he tricked Prince Qing and made him bear a grudge against him, so he went to He County to be a small county magistrate.

But Qiu Zhen doesn't think so. If Xu Boyan is really that evil, how could he make such a low-level mistake?

If it wasn’t Xu Boyan this time, could it be the prince’s men?

"You can't even mess up such a small task. I really can't speak for you in front of my father." Qiu Zhen said lazily.

"Don't worry, Miss Qiu, I will definitely be able to do it." Uncle Yishun patted his chest and promised.

Qiu Zhen glanced at Yishunbo and said, "That's the best way. You have to understand that what you did has nothing to do with our Qiu family."

"Yes." Sweat broke out on Yishunbo's forehead.

Therefore, he had to do a good job in the matter of the Centipede Ridge Iron Mine. If it was exposed, it would be his fault alone, and it would be normal to confiscate his property and exterminate his entire family.

Looking at Yi Shunbo's useless appearance, Qiu Zhen really didn't know why her father gave such an important matter to Yi Shunbo. He should have recruited some young talents, such as Ye Linchuan, who had a promising future.

"Those three people must be found alive or dead, otherwise your job is over." Qiu Zhen said and left.
