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

Chapter 54 The Enemy of the Enemy

"Kong Shun is very concerned about your origin, so he has not dared to attack us. Today he came to help the bandits."

Ye Xiangxiang looked at him, "So, if your identity needs to be kept secret, be careful."

Meng Tianlang shook his head, "It doesn't matter."

The two of them were analyzing the information in that paragraph along the way. Ye Xiangxiang was curious, "The bandits are more numerous than the horse thieves. If they fight head-on, the horse thieves are not opponents, so why can they always coexist?"

Meng Tianlang said, "Although it is convenient for mountain bandits to do things in the mountains, they also need someone to provide intelligence. If they want to invade the mountains, Xie Ma Village is a gateway. They need horse bandits to help look out."

Ye Xiangxiang nodded, "I don't know who that Mr. Weng is. It seems that there was a conflict between the two groups because of him."

She had been thinking about how to deal with this group of horse thieves for the past few days, and today she suddenly discovered that there was a group of bandits in the mountains, which made things worse.

Think about it from another angle.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If these two groups could be allowed to fight, wouldn't that be beneficial to them?
  As he spoke, he had already arrived at the door of his house.

Ye Xiangxiang and Meng Tianlang entered the door one after another. As soon as they entered, they met Ye Hongchang. Unexpectedly, he just glanced at Ye Xiangxiang, turned around and entered the house.

Angry?
  Ye Xiangxiang put down his backpack and hurriedly chased after him, "Dad, I discovered a secret."

She sat across from Ye Hongchang, told Ye Hongchang what she heard today, and then said, "Dad, I think we can root out the horse thieves as long as we make good use of this information."

Ye Hongchang didn't say anything, but Ye Xiangxiang said, "Dad, what do you think?"

Ye Hongchang still didn't speak.

"Dad...I was wrong."

Ye Hongchang finally said, "What's wrong?"

Ye Xiangxiang admitted his mistake, "My mistake was that I shouldn't have hidden it from you. I went into the mountains alone to collect herbs. I was just afraid that you would worry. Later, I met Kong Shun and others. I wanted to hear them clearly before coming back, so I wasted my time."

Ye Hongchang patted the table and said, "Xiangxiang, do you know how worried we are at home? I agree with you if you want to go into the mountains, but you can't go by yourself. Do you know how dangerous the mountains are?"

"If Mr. Meng hadn't come to find you, your grandma would have gone into the mountains right now."

Ye Xiangxiang said, "I won't do it anymore. I really didn't expect it today. Anyway, nothing happened. Please don't scold me."

On the way, she had already agreed with Meng Tianlang not to tell her family about the danger, so as not to worry them.

Meng Tianlang agreed, but put a condition: she couldn't drive him away, and he could stay there as long as he wanted.

What else could Ye Xiangxiang do? All he could do was nod his head in agreement.

Ye Hongchang talked to her for a while, and then asked, "Have you seen where the bandits set up camp?"

"I saw it. From the looks of it, they are there for a long time and will not move easily."

Ye Hongchang said, "I heard from passers-by on the road that bandits are rampant in Dayan Mountain. I heard that the imperial court wants to suppress the bandits. I don't know if this group of people is included in the imperial court's plan."

He snorted coldly, "The bandits have done a lot of evil and should be eradicated. Now that their lair has been found, the news can be released. But we have to plan carefully and don't burn the fire on us."

"Dad, of course the bandits must be suppressed, but this horse bandit is still in the village. They are bandits on horseback and civilians on horseback, and they secretly seek protection from power. It is easy to escape when they encounter bandits, but it will be difficult for us in the future." I thought that before wiping out the mountain bandits, we could make use of the relationship between them to eradicate the horse bandits first and then the mountain bandits, so that we can live peacefully in the future."

Ye Hongchang fully agreed with her words, but this was not an easy task.

It is already very difficult to survive after escaping from famine. How can we stir up the two groups of forces and make them fight?
  "Xiangxiang, this is difficult."

Ye Xiangxiang nodded, "Of course it's difficult, but you can't stop doing it just because it's difficult. There's a more important thing at the moment. Kong Shun doesn't know the origin of Mr. Meng, so he doesn't dare to do it easily, for fear that we have other identities."

"Since he thinks so, we have to make him even more confused, so we have to go through life immediately and treat him as if he doesn't exist. The more normal he is, the less he dares to take action."

Ye Hongchang agreed, "It is true. My injuries have mostly healed. After the fire, a lot of our belongings were destroyed and we have no food left. Tomorrow I will take a few people to the town to buy belongings."

The weather is getting colder. Even though the kang has been set up in the past few days, it still feels cold at night and there are not enough bedding. All these need to be purchased.

Ye Xiangxiang said, "Dad, just worry about things at home. I will keep an eye on Kong Shun's group and think carefully about how to deal with them."

Ye Hongchang didn't want his daughter to interfere in too many things. He wanted to protect her from growing up safely and living a happy life.

But in troubled times, it is safest to learn a skill.

So even though he was worried, he didn't stop him. He just smiled and said, "Okay, Xiangxiang has grown up and has become a good helper for daddy. If you need help from daddy, just ask."

Ye Xiangxiang smiled brightly, just don't stop her.

But she had to be more careful when doing things in the future. If she was rescued by Meng Tianlang again, she would be ashamed.

Ye Hongchang discussed it with his family and decided to use all the money in his hand. He wanted to hear everyone's opinions.

Wang said, "On the way, we all worked together to get to Dayan smoothly. The third daughter-in-law is pregnant with a child. If we didn't give her food, she wouldn't be able to take care of her well. We have some money on hand." , don’t worry so much at this time, the most important thing is to live your life quickly.”

Almost all the money was earned by Ye Hongchang. The head of the Wang family didn't have any objections, let alone the others.

Ye Hongfu also expressed his position. In Ye Hongshun's absence, Zhou nodded and agreed with him.

Ye Hongchang asked Mr. Liu to count the money he had on hand, and called a few people to go to the town to buy together the next day.

Xiema Village is quite far away from Lingshi Town. He has to go back and forth to buy things, and he only walks on his legs. Ye Hongchang plans to spend the night before coming back.

When he left, he didn't avoid anyone, so he let the horse thieves see. Knowing that there were horse thieves in the village, he still dared to leave like this. Could it be that he really had some background?
  Kong Shun acted cautiously and was confused when he saw that Ye Hongchang was so seriously injured but could go out in a few days.

In addition, Meng Tianlang was still here, so he didn't dare to act rashly. This group of people was definitely not as simple as they seemed.

The remaining people, led by Ye Xiangxiang, searched for wild vegetables everywhere in the village and went to reclaim wasteland with hoes.

Judging by that, it seemed like he really didn't take them seriously.

Mr. Weng avoided seeing them, Yue Laizi was also very confident, and this group of refugees looked so extraordinary.

Kong Shun only felt that there were many dangers for a moment. If either party made a move, he and the brothers might die without a burial place.

　Thank you for your vote, okay?
