The journey of the only child of a peasant family to take the imperial examination

"I... I am... Wang... Wang Jingzhi's... cousin," the other person said with difficulty.

"Mayor Zhao?" Zhang Ping'an was shocked.

The other party murmured "hmm" softly and took a deep breath.

Zhang Pingan looked at the last person next to him and asked, "Could this person be Brother Wang?"

Wang Jingzhi and Zhao Shiling helped him a lot in Yuezhou City, and he really didn't want them to end up like this.

"No… not… him. I… don't… know this guy either." Zhao Shiling took a breath and continued with difficulty, "I… I've been… seduced for four days. This… person has been seduced… longer than me. Both of us… are… not going to survive. Please… give us… a… quick death. In my next life… I'll be your slave. Thank… thank you!"

After finishing this long speech, the other party looked at him with hope, but the light in his eyes had become very dim.

Zhang Ping'an's heart sank. After a moment of silence, he picked up the long knife at hand and slashed the two men with it.

Zhao Shiling's mouth was bleeding heavily, and he mumbled, "Thank you...thank you!"

Then he lowered his head!

Zhang Laoer saw this and said angrily, "These damn bandits!"

"Let's go," Zhang Ping'an said calmly, and then he used the cloth he had just collected to wrap the injured people, at least to keep out the cold and avoid bacterial infection.

As for the remaining two people, he really didn't have the kindness to carry them away for burial. After covering them with cloth, Zhang Ping'an lit a fire and left with his family.

Considering that someone was injured, he went to the kitchen and got a few jars of white wine.

When they returned to the burning brick and tile house, the fire had become much smaller and the house had basically collapsed.

Seeing everyone return, Jinbao's father silently carried Grandpa Jinbao on his back. As everyone was about to leave, Doctor Fu's second son suddenly pointed to a corner of the blue brick and tile house and shouted, "Dad, look, that's gold!"

Everyone had been on high alert since entering the village, and hadn't noticed anything in the fire. But when they looked closely, they saw a large, golden object in the fire that hadn't been completely extinguished under the night sky.

Doctor Fu's second son was still carrying his eldest brother on his back and couldn't free his hands, so he looked at his father.

Doctor Fu and Zhang Pingan immediately exchanged a glance, then smiled and said, "No wonder they say true gold fears no fire. It's true. These bandits desperately trying to put out the fire must be doing it for this thing!"

"Yeah," Zhang Pingan also smiled, "but I guess we can't take it away now. The fire hasn't completely gone out, the temperature is so high, and we don't have anything to put it in. I'm afraid it will burn my hands!"

After saying this, he led his family away very quickly.

Doctor Fu and his second son were in a dilemma, but in the end the temptation of gold was too great, so they decided to stay nearby and wait for the fire to be completely extinguished to get the gold. With this huge fortune, they could live a good life wherever they went.

After returning to the cave, Zhang Ping'an asked the female family members to quickly boil a pot of hot water. The injured people had to apply medicine and bandages as soon as possible. After cleaning up, they had to bury Grandpa Jinbao and then leave immediately.

When Grandma Jinbao heard the bad news, tears flowed silently. She gently wiped the blood from the corner of Grandpa Jinbao's mouth with a handkerchief. There was sorrow in her eyes, but she neither threw a tantrum nor screamed hysterically. She was very different from other old ladies in the countryside.

The other female relatives were busy trying to comfort Grandma Jinbao, but words seemed so pale at this time.

Jinbao was also stunned and suffered a great psychological blow!

There is definitely not enough water for so many people, so they can only take turns wiping it with clean cotton cloth and then applying medicine.
