Chapter 4

The village is not big, and Du Qiong brought back seven or eight people not long after he went there, all of them were men, and it seemed that he had called all the strong people in the village over.

The leader among them was a man in his fifties with a pale face. He stood out from the crowd, first took a look at Chang Ning and Han Mingyuan, and then looked at Zhang Feng with probing eyes.

Zhang Feng leaned close to his ear and said his conjecture, the two discussed with serious expressions, and finally made a decision to "save people first".

The village chief Cao Nianshun squatted in front of Han Mingyuan, his eyes hesitated for a moment when he lowered his head and saw his face, and then returned to normal.

He opened his clothes to check his infected wound, and felt his pulse again, his brows were furrowed, his expression gloomy.

"Village chief, this young man...is there any help?"

One of the young men who came with him asked in a low voice, with the injury like this, I am afraid that he has too much air intake and less air output.

Cao Nianshun pondered for a moment, then muttered in a low voice, "Strange."

The wound was a penetrating wound, piercing directly through the heart, most people would die on the spot, but this young man's heart is two points worse than others.

But even so, judging by the severity of the wound, it took more than half a day to walk to their village, and it was a miracle that they were still alive.

"There is still salvation, but... it's difficult!"

Chang Ning raised his brows slightly when he heard this, and without giving Cao Nianshun a chance to react, he knelt down with a "plop", crying, "Village Chief, please, please save my elder brother. When my elder brother recovers, he will definitely I will treat you as a cow and a horse, and give you a pension until the end of your life!"

Han Mingyuan: "."

If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't get up, Han Mingyuan really wished he could get up and give her a kick.

He is a majestic regent, and it is appropriate for a commoner to be a cow and a horse and retire to the end of his life.

Scholars can be killed but not humiliated!
But thinking about his half-dead state, being a cow and a horse is detrimental to his prestige, and he will end up in retirement...but it is still acceptable.

Cao Nianshun bent down to help Chang Ning up, and said helplessly, "There is no need to send it to the end."

He still wants to live for two more years and is not in a hurry to die.

Cao Nianshun was kindhearted in the end, he couldn't see that Han Mingyuan lost his life at such a young age, so he turned around and said, "Two strong ones, move them to that thatched hut on the west side of the village for now!"

"The thatched cottage that the sheep lunatic used to live?"

"Yes, there is no one living in that thatched cottage now, let's settle down for the brothers and sisters temporarily!"

Chang Ning didn't feel disgusted at all, and quickly thanked everyone: "Thank the village chief for taking me in! I don't want to thank you for your kindness. When my elder brother wakes up, I will let him kneel down and thank you in person!"

Han Mingyuan: Or I'd better choose to die!
Cao Nian said by the way: "Miss, you are serious, it's all a matter of raising your hands, but the condition of the hut is not very good, so I have to suffer a little bit of grievance."

"No grievances, no grievances."

Every family has taboos, for a person like Han Mingyuan who is likely to die at any time, if he dies in his own home, it would be very "unlucky".

Everyone agreeing to allow them to live in the village is already a great kindness to Han Mingyuan.

Several young men carried Han Mingyuan to the west of the village. The village chief fell behind, stopped Chang Ning and asked, "Girl, where are you from? What are you doing here in Liangcheng, Muzhou? How could you be robbed?" Bandits?"

Chang Ning didn't change his face, and lied: "We are from Yanzhou. Because our family was in trouble and our parents died, my elder brother brought me to Liangcheng to join relatives. Unfortunately, when we arrived, relatives had already moved away. I wanted to find a place to stay in Liangcheng, but who knew that I ran into robbers on the way, and my elder brother was killed by them to save me... woo woo..."

A strange light flashed in Cao Nianshun's eyes, but he remained calm and sighed, "So you are a poor man!"

He patted Chang Ning on the shoulder, and asked softly: "Then what are your two brothers and sisters going to do next?"

Chang Ning sniffed and said, "The mountains are high and the road is far away, we don't want to trek back any more. If the elder brother doesn't die, we plan to find a village to live in and live in peace and stability in the future."

"If the eldest brother dies, I will bury him, and then I will find a village to live in, and live a peaceful life in the future."

Anyway, her life is stable and stable, as for Han Mingyuan, it all depends on personal creation.

"That's fine." Cao Nian said, "Anyway, we're looking for a place. Our village has been peaceful for the past few years, and the west is close to the mountains. If you don't want to leave, you can stay to open up wasteland and farm. At least you won't be hungry."

Since the wars continued in the past few years, the population on the border has dropped sharply, and many fields are now abandoned. If Chang Ning and the others are willing, the few acres of land they can reclaim can fully support themselves.

Chang Ning's eyes lit up when she heard the words, farming was what she had wanted all her life, if it wasn't for the scruples and the wounded Han Mingyuan, she might have to carry a hoe to open up wasteland immediately.

"Thanks to the village chief, I choose to open up wasteland, and I will go to farm!"

It was the first time Cao Nianshun was so happy to see someone farming. At that moment, he felt that the little girl was innocent, and thought to himself that he had to tell the villagers to take good care of their siblings.

The thatched hut mentioned by the village head is relatively remote, almost close to the edge of the village.

Because it has not been taken care of for a long time, the thatch on the roof has turned black and moldy, and the house is full of dust and cobwebs.

Han Mingyuan was temporarily placed outside the thatched hut, Zhang Feng and Du Qiong, two aunts, spontaneously helped tidy up the inside of the hut, and it was barely able to accommodate people, at least temporarily sheltering from the wind and rain was no problem.

"Daniu, go get some clean straw from the courtyard dam and come back to lay the bed. Erqing, go get some well water and boil it for later use."

"Good village chief."

The thatched cottage is very small, with only one room, the entrance is the hall, and beside the hall is a simple plank bed.

There used to be a lunatic who lived there. Since the lunatic died, the house has been empty for more than half a year, and there is basically nothing useful in the house.

After the bed boards were laid, Cao Nianshun ordered Daniu and Erqing to carry Han Mingyuan into the room.

Chang Ning wanted to help light the fire on the earthen stove outside the house, but was stopped by Cao Nianshun.

"At first glance, you are young masters and young ladies from the city. The firewood is wet and hard to light, so don't bother."

Although Chang Ning really wanted to get addicted to his hands, he obediently stayed by Han Mingyuan's side and wiped off the filth on his body first.

While cleaning up, he said in a low voice: "Brother, I knelt down to the village chief for you. When you recover, you have to give me a high and low knock. This must be paid back."

Han Mingyuan: "..."

Han Mingyuan suddenly wanted to open his eyes to see what this savior who would make him "kowtow" to others at every turn looked like.

After Erqing boiled the water, Cao Nianshun took out a tightly wrapped burlap bag from his pocket. After opening it, there were knives of various shapes inside. It looked small and delicate, but it was different from a scalpel.

Cao Nianshun sterilized the knife that had not been used for a long time, and then asked Daniel Erqing to hold Han Mingyuan down.
