On the way to escape from famine, I amaze the world with my medical practice

Chapter 14 Rescue
  These words sounded scary. How dare Gou Yi go up and snatch the child? However, the people around Liu Zhuang seemed to be used to it, so they went up and snatched the baby from the woman's hand.

"My child!" the woman screamed.

In the blink of an eye, the baby was in the man's hands. The woman cried so hard that she couldn't take it away.

One of Liu Zhuang's men kicked the woman in the chest, and she spurted out a mouthful of blood. She was so seriously injured that she might die soon.

Ye Xiangxiang's hands pinched the corners of his clothes tightly, unable to bear the anger. Seeing that the men were about to chop the child, Ye Hongchang immediately covered his daughter's eyes to prevent her from seeing this cruel scene.

The man raised the knife, but suddenly his hand went weak and the knife fell to the ground.

Before anyone else could recover, for some reason, the subordinate fell to his knees and the baby rolled down.

When the woman saw this, she quickly snatched the child back and held it tightly and refused to let go.

Ye Xiangxiang closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look. Her heart beat like a drum, but she didn't hear any crying for a long time.

She opened her eyes and saw that the child was still fine. She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice, "Dad, what's going on?"

Ye Hongchang said, "Someone came to rescue me, but I didn't see who it was."

Among the crowd, Meng Chang squeezed the hand of the young man next to him and whispered, "If you want to get rid of Dayan smoothly, you have to get rid of this soft-hearted problem."

The young man said in a deep voice, "I become a hard-hearted person and watch the baby being hacked to death. Is this a good thing?"

Meng Chang heard this and had nothing to say, "Don't take action again."

"Ah."

Liu Zhuang saw a few stones rolling down next to the man, and knew that someone was doing it secretly, so he couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Is it possible that there are martial arts masters among these refugees?

He smiled coldly, "If you can't even kill a child, what use do I need from you?"

Liu Zhuang stepped forward and kicked the man, intending to take the food and leave without getting too entangled with these people. As for the child, he let it go for the time being, so as not to attract the man to attack again.

"In such a hot weather, I don't want to waste any more words with you. I have made it very clear. If you hand over the food, you can leave. If you don't hand it over, you will stay alive."

Hearing this, the refugee's head lowered even lower, and Liu Zhuang slashed at a young man standing in front, "To hand over or not to hand over?"

Blood soon oozed from the young man's shoulder, and his family members burst into tears and quickly took out the only food in their bags.

"Please be kind, our family only has this food to eat, so please let my son go."

Liu Zhuang took back his sword and smiled, "If you have known me this way, your son will not have to suffer. Others also want to try my sword?"

Some people weighed it over and over again and quickly took out their food.

Some people were unwilling and started fighting with Liu Zhuang's people. For a while, there was chaos below.

Ye Hongchang said, "Let's go back first and see if we need to change places to avoid running into them."

Ye Xiangxiang nodded and was about to follow Ye Hongchang when suddenly an old man's baggage was knocked to the ground. He quickly picked it up, but what fell out made Ye Xiangxiang's eyes widen.

"Dad, don't leave yet. There is medicine in that man's bag that Third Aunt can use to save her life."

Hearing this, Ye Hongchang also crouched down quickly, "Seriously?"

"I can see clearly, it's the medicinal materials. Dad, we have to think of a way to see if we can get some medicinal materials back."

Ye Hongchang pondered, and then said after a moment, "There is only one way to save the grandfather and grandson, and then negotiate to exchange the medicinal materials from them."

Ye Xiangxiang nodded, "Okay, dad, do you have any good ideas?" Liu Zhuang led dozens of people, and they were no match for him in a head-on fight. Ye Hongchang took off his bow and arrow, but he was afraid that he would have to use the old method again.

"Xiangxiang, I'll look for an opportunity. You go around a little further. When you see the grandfather and grandson approaching, take them into the mountain and let's escape together."

"Okay." Ye Xiangxiang nodded and walked down the hillside.

Liu Zhuang's men had already killed several people. Meng Chang protected the young man behind him and hid left and right. Nothing happened for the time being, but his way out was also blocked.

Seeing the big knife coming, the young man couldn't help but want to take action again. A sharp arrow flew past his ear with a whoosh and hit the chest of the man in front of him.

The young master immediately turned around and saw someone hiding in the forest.

"Grandpa, go that way."

The two of them had just taken a few steps, when Ye Xiangxiang found an opportunity, and the man who grabbed the boy said, "Follow me, I can take you to escape."

She didn't let go, and the young man struggled briefly, and then followed her into the woods. Meng Chang followed immediately.

After the fight started, Gou Yi found a safe place to stay, and wanted to take the opportunity to get something back.

With sharp eyes, he saw Ye Xiangxiang, and his eyes widened in anger, "Over there, catch them, it's her father who hurt the boss's eye."

Hearing this, Liu Zhuang's men chased Ye Xiangxiang in the direction of his escape. Seeing this, Ye Hongchang shot several sharp arrows in that direction, hitting every target.

There was another person chasing him. Ye Hongchang aimed at the person, but the person saw him in advance and ducked to avoid the sharp arrow.

And the sharp arrow continued to fly forward, piercing Gou Yi's chest.

Gou Yi opened his mouth and looked into the forest. He did not see where Ye Hongchang was, but Ye Hongchang witnessed the whole process of him being hit by the arrow.

The arrow hit his chest, and Gou Yi couldn't even utter a word. He fell back and fell directly onto the cliff.

Ye Hongchang put down his bow and couldn't explain what he felt when he saw that scene.

That man had been his brother for nearly twenty years. They had spent many nights drinking and talking together, but now they had come to this point.

He was a man with clear grudges, Gou Yi saved him, and he would always remember that kindness.

But Gou Yi hurt someone behind his back, and he vowed to take revenge.

Gou Yi stabbed him in the chest and lied to his family that he had fallen off a cliff, but he did not die.

Who knew that it would end up being Gou Yi's fate in the end.

The refugees below were still fighting, but Ye Hongchang didn't care about anything else.

Ye Xiangxiang had already brought the grandfather and grandson over. Ye Hongchang calmed down and said immediately, "Don't worry, old man, we are not bad people. Let's go first."

Meng Chang subconsciously stood behind the young man. In the current situation, they had no choice but to follow these two people away and make long-term plans later.

Returning to the resting place, Ye Hongchang said directly, "It is not without purpose to save the two of you today. My brother and sister are pregnant and need medicinal materials to nourish qi and blood. I know that the old gentleman has some in his bag, and I would like to exchange some with you." I wonder if the old gentleman would be willing to use medicinal materials?"

Meng Chang was wondering along the way what purpose the father and daughter had in rescuing people. It would be fine if they had some motive, but he was afraid that they were people sent by the imperial court.

Now hearing what Ye Hongchang said, Meng Chang felt a little relieved.

"Thanks to the brave man's rescue today, our grandfather and grandson were able to escape the disaster. It's not too much to exchange some medicinal materials. But we are also going to Great Yan. Now that we are separated from the team, we can't go on alone. I wonder if the brave man is willing to take us in?"
