Ning Yan heard this and said, "Let's all go to the pavilion. I'll watch it together."

There was more than one person injured today, so we just went to see it together.

Naturally, everyone had no objection when they heard this. Several aunts lit oil lamps and placed them on the table for lighting.

After checking, it was found that a total of five people were injured, but none of them were seriously injured.

Sun Yuexi's arm is dislocated, so just reattach it. His wrist is also a little red and swollen, probably from being grabbed too hard, so he'll just need to apply some medicine to reduce the swelling.

Zhou Xiaoqing was scratched on the neck during the fight. It will heal in a few days after applying some medicine.

Old man Zhou was beaten because he was eager to save his granddaughter. He suffered some internal injuries and needed to take medicine for a while.

The remaining two, Zhou Youfeng and Duan Zhili, suffered many injuries because they both fought alone at the beginning, and due to the difference in strength, they could only get beaten.

Later, they realized that something was wrong, so Suifeng returned and Huo Yunningjing joined them, which prevented them from suffering further harm.

However, although there are many wounds, none of them are serious. With some external medicine applied, he should be able to fully recover in a while.

After all the injuries were dealt with, everyone finally had time to sit down and talk about what happened today.

A total of five people came today, four of them ran away, and the other one was seriously injured by them and was lying there half-dead.

They didn't know these people. Ning Yan used medicine to save the seriously injured person, and then began to interrogate him, asking who asked him to harm them.

But the man was still quite stubborn. He didn't say a word and then bit his tongue to commit suicide.

Seeing this, they had no choice but to deal with the body first and clean the yard under the moonlight.

Although the world is in chaos now, the government is still there. Killing is illegal. If you don't handle it properly, you may be thrown into jail, so you have to deal with it cleanly.

After everything was dealt with, everyone sat down to discuss who wanted to harm them, but after discussing for a long time, they still couldn't come to a conclusion.

Seeing that it was not long before dawn, Huo asked everyone to go to bed first, and let Suifeng check it out when he had time tomorrow.

No one objected when they heard this, and they all stood up and returned to their rooms.

Sun Huzi asked Duan Zhili and Zhou Youfeng to go back to sleep, while he took Sun Yuexi to sleep outside. Sun Yuexi was frightened today and was a little emotionally unstable. He could stay and keep watch with Suifeng, which was just killing two birds with one stone.

Ning Yan and Huo Yu returned to their room with their two sons. After lying on the bed, Ning Yan said, "Brother Yu, do you think it's that person from the Minister of Rites' Mansion who's causing trouble for us?"

They have had some friction with Miss Zhang from the Minister of Rites's Mansion recently, so Ning Yan had this guess.

"Not necessarily." Huo said.

According to common sense, those were just minor frictions that were not life-threatening, and officials loved to use their power to oppress others.

For small bosses like them who have little power, they would think that crushing these people to death is easier than crushing an ant. As long as they use some tricks, they can make these people "kneel down and beg for mercy", but it will not make them kill people.

After all, killing is illegal. If someone with ulterior motives gets hold of the evidence, the official hat will be in jeopardy.

However, although they thought so, they still needed to investigate further to find out the specific situation.

"Who is so bold?" Ning Yan asked curiously.

"I don't know. Never mind him. Wife, it's time for us to go to bed." Huo Yan put his arm around Ning Yan's waist and pulled him into his arms, then spoke in his ear.

As for who it is, we will know it in the future.

As for safety issues, they just need to pay more attention to them in the future.

Ning Yan stopped talking after hearing this. His two sons had already fallen asleep beside him. He also found a comfortable position in Huo Yan's arms and gradually fell asleep.

The next day everyone got up late. When they woke up it was already 9:00 a.m. and the sky was already bright.

After Ning Yan woke up, he checked the map first. A day later, there were more yellow dots within a few kilometers.

After taking a look, he closed the map and left the room.

Huo? estimated that Ning Jian would be getting up soon, so he took the bucket and prepared to go to the backyard to fetch water for Ning Jian to wash his face. The weather was too hot, and it would be more comfortable to wash his face with freshly drawn well water.

Halfway through the journey, he saw Xu Jiafeng running towards him. When he reached him, he lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Huo, I see soldiers coming over there."

The adults keep watch at night, and the children are on guard during the day. Usually Xu Jiafeng, Duan Yunche, Ma Qing and Duan Ruowei are in charge, and the other kids will occasionally come along to help keep an eye on the situation nearby.

Today, Xu Jiafeng was patrolling near the house as usual, and he also climbed onto the roof to check the situation. Uncle Ning said that there were many sick people in the city, and he couldn't let these people get close to their house to avoid infecting them with the disease.

After reaching the roof, he accidentally saw several soldiers walking towards them on the road leading to the city. He didn't know what these people were doing, so he quickly ran over and reported the situation to Huo?.

Uncle Huo knows a lot and can definitely help them make a decision.

Huo Yu was puzzled at first, wondering what these soldiers were doing here. Then, as if realizing something, he asked Xu Jiafeng, "Where are they?"

"We're almost at the entrance of the alley." Xu Jiafeng said in confusion.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yu immediately stuffed the bucket into his hands and ordered, "Go get a bucket of water for your Uncle Ning."

Then he ran to the front yard.

Xu Jiafeng was a little confused looking at Huo Yu's back. It was the first time he saw Uncle Huo so upset.

Huo ran to the front yard and saw Duan Zhili sitting under the awning. He said to him, "Hurry up and give me those knives I gave you earlier. Hurry up."

Duan Zhili was a little confused when he heard his words, but when he saw Huo showing such an anxious expression for the first time, he ran into the house without thinking.

Huo Zhili also followed him in. After entering the room, he pulled a bed sheet from the ground, wrapped the knives that Duan Zhili had given him in it, and then walked out with the sheet in his arms.

He didn't stop after he walked out of the door, turned a corner and walked towards his room.

Before entering, he caught a glimpse of the officers and soldiers arriving at the house next door, and he could see what was happening in their yard just by looking up.

But Huo didn't care whether they saw it or not, he just pushed the door open and went in.

Ning Yan was just about to open the door and go out, but before he could do anything, the door was pushed open from the outside.

It was so fast that it almost hit his nose. Seeing this, he quickly took a step back, thus saving his nose.

Then he looked at Huo Yu, who came in holding a sheet, and asked in confusion, "Brother Yu, what happened? What are you holding in your hand?"
