Chapter 247: Life and Death

wife who was confinement and their son who only knew how to eat and sleep.Jiayin saw that her grandmother wasn't very happy all night, so she insisted on sleeping with her grandmother.The old lady sm...In just a few short moments, he frantically ran back, shouting loudly, "Where is Doctor Zhang Quickly, the Lord Hou awaits to be saved!"

All the villagers who were working stood up at once, surprised and frightened.

Zhang, the divine doctor, was originally lying on a peanut plant napping lazily. He was startled and before he could recover, Li Lao Si rushed forward, picked him up, and ran away!

Zhang Shenyi was so angry that he slapped Li Lao Si hard, shouting, "Get my medicine box!"

Jia Yi and Liu Yang took off running towards the village, yelling as they ran, "Grandma, we're going with Fourth Uncle to save the Lord Hou!"

Of course, Old Madam Li couldn't stop her. "Alright, fetch the medicine chest and bring money back from home."

No one knew what was happening on the Marquis's side, but whenever it came to matters of influence, money always helped. Bringing more silver wouldn't hurt.

In the blink of an eye, most of Li's family had run away. Jia Yin was so anxious that she jumped up and down, lifting her little legs to try and run, but she couldn't run fast. She could only hug Qiao's sister's neck and urged, "Go home, go home!"

Qiong's wife looked at Mrs. Cui, who nodded, so she hugged Jiayin and hurried to follow.

Li Lao Tai, after all, was getting on in years and her legs were slow. Fortunately, Qiong's younger age and martial arts skills came in handy. She carried Jia Yin and helped the old lady back to Li's courtyard.

Grandma Li went straight to the main room, rummaging through her boxes and drawers for silver.

Fortunately, I received another paycheck earlier, otherwise my family would have been in real trouble.

Qiong's mother cleverly retreated outside the door, and Jia Yin quickly started to make arrangements.

Her medicine cabinet only had one bottle of anti-inflammatory medication left, but she still had two bottles of Yunnan Baiyao powder and a large bottle of saline solution. She had been bored and changed all the packaging beforehand, which came in handy now.

And also silver ornaments, you need to prepare some...

The old woman brought out the money box, and as soon as she turned around, she was so frightened that she almost dropped it.

The granddaughter sat on the kang, with dozens of silver ingots in front of her, amounting to two or three hundred taels. Compared to this pile, what she had in her hand was nothing.

Before she could ask any further, Dong Mei rushed in, “Grandmother, I heard that the Marquis was injured”

"Yes," Old Madam Li didn't have time to be surprised any longer. She emptied all the silver and copper coins from her money box, grabbed a package, and bundled in everything, including the silver ingots her granddaughter had brought out.

Jia Yin grabbed Dong Mei's hand and pointed at several bottles. "This white medicine pill, Uncle Ye knows how to take it. It's best to take one as soon as you get there. This medicine powder stops bleeding and pain, sprinkle it on the wound, after it stops bleeding, wash it clean with this bottle of water within a day, and then bandage it."

Dong Mei, her heart pounding with alarm, quickly stuffed the medicine bottles into her bosom and then, taking the pouch of silver given by Li Lao Tai, turned and ran.

Just as Jia Yi and Liu Yang carried back a medicine chest belonging to a divine doctor, the three of them rushed out.

The messenger galloped back, immediately dismounting and handing over his horse. Soon after, they disappeared from sight.

At this moment, all the villagers rushed back from the fields and surrounded the soldiers, asking them questions in a flurry of voices.

"What on earth is going on"

"Yes, how did the Lord get hurt

"

"Where is the lord hurt"

The personal guard had followed the Marquis to the village as well, and there was no hiding it this time.

"The Marquis wasn't hurt by barbarians, he was assassinated!"

A soldier's eyes were red with anger. "We were patrolling on the north bank of the river, and last time we killed thousands of barbarians, pushing their defenses back thirty miles. We should have been safe and sound. But a family of four suddenly emerged from the forest—a man and woman with two half-grown children. They said they were being chased by wolves, and the couple looked exhausted, while the two kids cried frantically."

The Marquis was going to take them to Jiangnan to treat their wounds. That half-grown boy grabbed the Marquis's sleeve and refused to let go. The Marquis, moved by pity, put him on his horse and rode back to the dock together. As a result, the boy took out a dagger on the way and tried to assassinate him. The Marquis was alert and dodged the fatal blow to his heart, but his back was slashed with a long gash that wouldn't stop bleeding!

"Damn it, there are people this heartless!"

"Yes, the Marquis saved their lives, and they actually turned against him!"

"No, these people wouldn't just be trying to assassinate the Lord and deliberately hiding in Jiangbei, pretending to be refugees, would they"

"Maybe, maybe!"

"The Lord has been watching over everyone at the pier day and night to ensure their safety, he's worked tirelessly. Even if he hasn't earned any credit, he's definitely put in the effort. Who could it be who would try to harm the Lord It's truly heartbreaking!"

Everyone started shouting angrily, stamping their feet in a hurry.

I thought the Marquis was injured in a fight with barbarians, but it turns out he was assassinated!

This won't do, what if even the people around the Marquis are unreliable What if they take advantage of the Marquis' injury and try to poison him again

Only Lao Si and Jia Yi Liu Yang, as well as Dong Mei went to the rescue, but it's no use!

"No, we can't let this go. We must go pick up the Lord back. There is nowhere safer than our village. If anyone dares to hurt the Lord, we will give our lives and won't agree!" The Village Head rarely lost his composure and calmness, so anxious that he paced back and forth.

Just as Li Lao Er returned, he grabbed Li Lao Er and said, “Lao Er, you guard the village. I'm going to take people to the wharf.”

"Sir, I was just about to say the same thing. We are ordinary people, we don't understand those noble people's thoughts, but the Marquis is favored by the Emperor, holds heavy troops, and anyone who wants to take advantage of this opportunity to harm the Marquis would be numerous. We must help each other, we can't just sit here and wait for the Marquis to come back."

Li Lao'er also wore a composed expression and replied, "Uncle, you are old. You should stay home, I will take the young men from the village to go."

The villagers immediately responded.

"I'll take one! "

"

And me, I'm going too!

In an instant, all the young and middle-aged men in the village stepped forward, as well as a few youngsters.

Li Lao'er pointed at seven or eight men and the half-sized boys, "You stay here to guard against anyone taking advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble. The rest go home and get your axes and provisions, dress warmly, we gather at the village entrance in half an hour!"

The villagers scattered with a shout, leaving Mrs. Cui to step forward and say to Li Lao Er, "Get our carriages and your mule carts, let everyone take turns riding to rest their legs, and we'll get there faster."

"Alright, thank you, Mrs. Cui." Lao Er bowed.

Mrs. Cui quickly waved her hand and said, "We are all family, no need to be so polite. Besides, back at the docks, Lord Hou saved both my life and my senior brother's life. This is exactly the time to return the favor."

Jiayin remembered that Erbo wasn't good at fighting, this trip was dangerous... But in her past life, she was just an ordinary otaku. There was really no weapons stored at home...

At this time, it would be great to have a handgun, or even a taser.

Unfortunately, there's nothing to be done, she can only fret!

Soon, everyone gathered at the village entrance. With a carriage and a cart, twenty-five young men set off.

Facing the midday sun, I hurried to Jiangbei Wharf.

Jia Yin's eyes turned red, she hugged her grandmother tightly.

She was born into this strange world. Her family was her warm haven, her grandmother her pillar of support, and Master Ye her guardian angel.

Her secret, Young Master Ye knew the most about, but he never asked a word.

This complete trust and protection freed her from anxiety and worry, allowing her to sleep soundly and to "fearlessly" earn money.

But now, her protector is in grave danger... far away and there's no one to oversee them, how can the guards possibly give their all!Pretending to patrol during the day.When night fell and the warehouse doors closed, everyone went about their b...
