I can strengthen

Chapter 44
After sorting out the harvest, Luo Yan had time to look at the old man.

The old man lay on the ground, drenched all over.

At this time, his face was pale, his lips were bruised and purple, and he was already breathing in less and exhaling more.

If it is an ordinary person, it is estimated that he can only let him die.

But after all, Luo Yan had studied medicine from Ma Laifeng, and had treated many patients with Qi and blood deficiency, so it was not a big problem to save the old man's life.

He came to the old man, untied his clothes, and checked the wounds on his body.

Check it out.

It was found that the old man's injuries were not serious, and there were only a few bruises on his body.

Now unconscious, most likely suffered internal injuries...

"Inner strength is injured, whether you can wake up or not depends on good luck..." Luo Yan sighed.

……

Dawn dawned.

A ray of sunlight shines on Luo Yan's face through the small window at the top.

Luo Yan narrowed his eyes, stood up and stretched, and looked at the old man beside him.

After all, this old man is refining blood.

Although he is quite old, his body and bones are better than ordinary young guys.

Midnight passed.

The complexion on the face has recovered a lot.

The lips are no longer blue, but become rosy.

When Luo Yan looked over, his eyelids trembled slightly, just in time to wake up, and met Luo Yan's gaze.

"You...is that you, little brother?"

The old man froze for a moment and sat up from the ground.

He still remembered Luo Yan.

He just despised this person last night.

I didn't expect to wake up now and lie beside him.

Apparently, it was someone he despised who saved him.

He was in a complicated mood. After looking around, he looked at Luo Yan again: "Where am I? Where's my lady?"

Luo Yan withdrew his gaze and explained lightly: "This is my house. As for Nan Xuanxuan... she left you here last night and ran away. But you don't need to worry, she has a good fortune and should be able to survive."

Heard this explanation.

The old man nodded, and murmured: "Thanks to the young lady who lured the blood refiner away for us, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have to confess my old bones last night."

As he spoke, a wry smile appeared on his face.

"..."

Luo Yan was a little confused.

This old brain has a lot of power.

This can turn Nan Xuanxuan into her savior.

But he didn't bother to explain.

After all, he didn't know what kind of personality this old man had. What if some foolish and loyal person heard him speak ill of Nan Xuanxuan and wanted to slap him to death?
"Senior, how is your recovery?"

What Luo Yan said was to tell the old man to leave quickly.

"I have regained some strength, but I still can't stand up. It may take a while to trouble my friend." The old man said with a wry smile.

"..."

Luo Yan shrugged, but did not refuse.

Hearing the movement outside the house, he got up and said, "My two hands are down, let's go out."

"it is good."

As the old man said, he said embarrassingly: "Please help me, little friend."

"..."

Luo Yan supported the old man and came to the small courtyard.

As soon as the door was opened, the second brother of the Sun family rushed up.

They were worried that something might happen to Luo Yan, so they came from the outer city before dawn.

Seeing Luo Yan, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with lingering fear: "We were worried all night yesterday, but fortunately, nothing happened to the young master."

Luo Yan smiled softly: "What can happen to me? But you, there is an old mother at home, so nothing can happen."

"The place where we live is too poor, and the pirates don't like it, so they never come here." Sun Wen grinned.

Being poor has its benefits.

Usually a little messy.

But when the pirates came, they became a safe haven directly, and nothing happened.

It was a place that was usually rich and stable, but it became a place where pirates concentrated their attacks, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

The four walked into the room.

The two brothers of the Sun family moved some chairs, and the four of them sat down, naturally they sighed a lot.

This time the pirates attacked, although I don't know what the loss is.

But just listening to the movement outside.

It can be guessed that Bao'an County is like a piece of fragile white paper in front of the pirates, which is not vulnerable at all.

"My brother and I came here in the morning and saw that the granaries and grain stores on the road were all looted by pirates. In the next month or two, the price of grain may skyrocket." Sun Wen smiled wryly and told what he had seen and heard when he came.

He was originally a poor man, so the most important thing he cared about was food.

"It's only two months... As long as the food from other counties arrives, the price will eventually fall back." The old man comforted.

"Food is only one aspect, and I'm afraid of the county government... The county next door to us was once robbed by pirates. Later, the county government found that the loss was too great, and began to levy excessively. At that time, there were poll taxes and breathing taxes. Not to mention the money left in the family, even the clothes of the common people have been stripped." Sun Wu smiled even more bitterly.

This is what actually happened.

It was the county next door to them, he still remembered it vividly.

"I'm afraid there will be chaos in the future." Sun Wen shook his head with a wry smile.

Luo Yan nodded in agreement.

The old man didn't take it seriously, he laughed and said:

"You two little brothers don't need to worry. Our Bao'an County is different from other counties. Behind my Bao'an County Yamen is the Xu family, and the Xu family suppresses one party. The size and strength are beyond your imagination."

"As long as the Xu family comes forward, a little turmoil will naturally subside in an instant."

He has lived in Bao'an County for a whole sixty years.

I have a deep feeling for the power and strength of the Xu family.

He didn't believe that the Xu family would be defeated just because of a pirate invasion.

And as long as the Xu family is not defeated, Bao'an County will not be in chaos if it wants to.

after all.

The Xu family needs a stable environment.

Only in a stable environment can production be resumed as soon as possible and the losses caused by the looting can be made up for as soon as possible.

The second brother of the Sun family was stunned for a while, and there was still some suspicion on their faces.

But after all, they are just little people, they don't know much about the Xu family, and they have no way to argue.

Luo Yan was noncommittal.

Seeing that it was almost done, he got up and looked at the two brothers of the Sun family: "I'll go back to the martial arts hall to have a look, senior, please help me take care of one or two."

"Yes, son." The second Sun family brother nodded quickly.

"The pirates have just left, and the county may be in chaos for a while. You stay indoors and try not to go out."

Luo Yan warned again, then pushed the door out and walked towards Xiao's Martial Arts Hall.

Naturally, he also has concerns in his heart.

He came across time and spent most of his time in Xiao's Martial Arts Hall.

Xiao's martial arts gym can be said to be his half home in this world.

Now that the pirates are invading, he naturally wants to go and have a look.

Leaving home, Luo Yan walked on the road and saw many burned houses, as well as the sobbing of women and the crying of men.

Luo Yan shook his head and quickened his pace.

It didn't take long to arrive at Xiao's Martial Arts Hall.

at this time.

There was only half of the signboard left on the door of the martial arts hall, and the other half fell on the ground and was trampled into pieces.

Luo Yan sighed.

It can be seen from this plaque that Xiao's Martial Arts Hall was not spared.

He walked into the martial arts hall.

Xiao Tieshan and Feng Chong were not seen.

But Xiao Quan and Xiao Xueer were all fine, they were gathering in the yard with a group of senior brothers, and they were all in a low mood.

See Luo Yan coming over.

Xiao Quan greeted him with a bitter smile.

"Junior Brother, you are here."

Luo Yan nodded and asked, "Where is Master Xiao? Nothing happened, right?"

"My father is fine, but he was called by the Xu family this morning." Xiao Xueer's tone was a little low.

"That's good." Luo Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "The pirates came over yesterday, so the martial arts school didn't suffer any losses, right?"

Xiao Quan sighed, and said: "People are fine, and they hid a few minutes earlier. But the martial arts hall was smashed, and some valuable things were also robbed by the group of pirates."

Xiao Xue'er answered immediately: "My father lost a bottle of bone tempering pill, and he was furious in the morning, and directly scolded me and my senior brother."

She pursed her lips, obviously speechless about the indiscriminate disaster she had suffered.

Luo Yan smiled wryly.

That bone quenching pill must be the pill for bone refining.

And the Xiao's Martial Arts House controlled by Xiao Tieshan didn't make much money at all.

He probably bought that bottle of bone quenching pill after saving up for many years, so of course he feels distressed to be robbed now.

"It's good that the person is still there. I'll go in and see my master first."

He patted the shoulders of the two of them, as if to comfort them.

Then they walked towards the inner courtyard.

In the inner courtyard, Ma Laifeng was fine, squatting in front of the pill furnace that fell on the ground, and kept thinking about it, as if he felt sorry for the pill furnace.

After seeing Luo Yan, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine, it's fine..."
