109 Chapter 109 Worry
“If you don’t want to cause trouble, don’t b.u.t.t your head in. Remember to report to me immediately if you see anyone with knife wounds.” The leader glared at him coldly.
Then, he turned around and left with his men and medicinal herbs.
After they left, the patriarch instructed, “Chengrui, it hasn’t been peaceful recently. You must be careful. Don’t let the Qiao family get hold of anything.”
“I will. Don’t worry, uncle.” Gu Chengrui nodded.
“Okay, we’ll be going then. Remember to call us if you need anything.”
“I will, but you guys should sit for a while longer. It’s still early.”
“No, there are many things to do at the workshop.” The patriarch turned around and left after he finished speaking.
After the three officers left the village, the youngest among them, carrying the medicinal herbs, said with a smile, “That young lady from the Gu family is really attractive.”
“You dunderhead. Let’s hurry up with our search. Otherwise, we won’t even be able to keep our jobs.” The leader said in an unpleasant tone.
“Do you think the Gu clan received a notice in advance?” one of them asked thoughtfully. “Otherwise, why would they just happen to be gathered there? ”
“No way. After we arrived in town, we took action straight after lunch. How could anyone leak the news? ”
“Maybe I’m just overthinking it.”
“Why don’t I stay behind to investigate and see if the person is hiding in someone else’s house? ”
“Don’t get any funny ideas. That place is nearly fifty miles from here. How could he have gone so far with such serious injuries? Let’s hurry and visit all the nearby village doctors.”
On the other hand, after everyone left, Zhou Ying sent Gu Chengrui to her inters.p.a.ce. Then, she locked the door and entered the mountain with Er Zhuang. She planned to cut some withered gra.s.s and shrubs to start a fire.
Gu Chengrui entered the operating room in the inters.p.a.ce and saw that the IV drip was all used up. He immediately pulled out the needle and carefully checked the patient’s condition. After confirming that his condition had stabilized, Gu Chengrui finally heaved a sigh of relief.
He then checked the ureter.
After ensuring he wouldn’t wake up for a while, Gu Chengrui went out of the villa to feed the animals in the inters.p.a.ce.
In the evening, Zhou Ying had just returned home when Qian Zhuang and Gu Erjiang returned with the donkey cart.
Seeing the pitiful amount of soybeans in the car, she asked in surprise, “My two brothers, why did you only get so few soybeans?”
“Don’t mention it. Haven’t there been a lot of bean sprouts recently? There are no soybeans or green beans in the nearby villages.
“Some of them also wanted to sell them at a high price.
“That’s why we’re thinking of visiting the neighboring town tomorrow.” Qian Zhuang shook his head.
“I see. Then I’ll have to bother you to search in the distance.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she took the soybeans, weighing less than ten pounds.
Then, she gave them a tael of silver.
After Qian Zhuang took the silver, he returned the donkey cart and turned to leave.
Zhou Ying stared at the soybeans in her hand and was a little worried. It seemed that she had to prepare a batch of soybeans in advance from her inters.p.a.ce.
Then, she made dinner and entered her inters.p.a.ce.
Gu Chengrui saw her coming in and stepped forward. “Babe, you’re finally here. He might wake up soon. We have to bring him out of the inters.p.a.ce quickly. ”
“Then hurry up. I’m done cooking. He’ll be able to eat after we’ve settled him down. ”
“By the way, I made dried pot fish. Remember to serve it. ” Gu Chengrui said as he carried the unlucky fellow on his back.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying sent them out and took the dried pot fish out.
After their meal, Gu Chengrui and the unlucky guy slept on the brick bed while Zhou Ying went to the west room. She burned some charcoal, took out a single bed from her inters.p.a.ce, and slept.
In the middle of the night, the unlucky guy was woken up by his urge to urinate. He was stunned when he saw where he was. Just as he wanted to get up to relieve himself, he pulled on the wound on his back. It was so painful that he gasped.
