n her head."I'll go to the county right now and call Ergouzi back. Anyway, we can't finish all this venison, so let him take some with him...""You dare!" Old Mrs. Li glared at her, furious and beratin..."Jiaren!" The Li family, disregarding their injuries, rushed towards him.

Jia was crying even harder, "My older brother saved me by blocking the wolf's mouth with his hand. Wahhhh, what should we do My older brother's hand is still needed for writing!"

The crowd also shouted, “Doctor Zhang, save him! Please take a look at Jiaren and save the child!”

Jiarren was helped to the mouth of the cave and sat down. Zhang Shenyi took a quick look and shook his head.

"No, two fingers along with half my palm are gone. If I were in Kyoto, I might still have some recourse. But now there's nothing I can do but stop the bleeding and make sure the other three fingers can still move. But writing is out of the question!"

Jiā Rén could no longer bear it, tears streaming down his face.

He didn't regret saving his younger brother, but he couldn't write, couldn't read, couldn't take the imperial examinations, and couldn't bring honor to the family and support them...

Li Lao held her grandson tightly, trying hard to hold back her tears.

"Jiaren, don't cry. We'll figure something out after we cross the Jinsha River. Grandma will definitely let you study and continue writing."

Li Lao'er had just injured his arm, and at this moment he didn't care about the bleeding. He patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Man up, don't look at the present, there will definitely be a way out in the future."

Actually, he was sadder than anyone else, after all, his son carried on his dream of studying!

Master Zhang swiftly cleaned and bandaged Jia Ren's wounds, then went to treat the others.

Just that battle, almost everyone was injured.

Mrs. Liu was the most seriously injured, with her shoulder almost bitten through by the wolf's last attack.

And Uncle Zhao, his original leg injury was hurt again, having a chunk of flesh torn out.

Li Laosi's chest was also not a good place, Tao Hongying and Li Lao's arms were bitten...

In the end, the Li family suffered the greatest losses.

But Li Laosi killed the wolf, and Li Lao's wife and daughter-in-law fought to protect the elderly and children in the cave.

Remembering the danger just now, nobody knows who held up the old woman and her son, crying and kowtowing to Li's married women. Many others knelt down following suit.

They were fighting with the pack of wolves upfront, completely ignoring what was happening behind them.

If there were no Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they would have turned back to rescue. The elderly and children would probably also suffer casualties.

"Auntie, your family are the greatest benefactors to mine! From now on, just say the word, Auntie, and I'll repay you even if it means walking through fire and swords."

"Me too, Auntie, sniffle, sniffle, my little one's life was saved by you."

"From now on, my aunt will be like my own mother, and I will definitely treat her with the utmost respect and filial piety."

Lao Li was anxious, worried about her grandson's hand, her son and daughter-in-law's injuries, she didn't even care about her own wounds.

At this moment, she strained to raise her hand and motioned for everyone to get up.

"Don't be so polite, let's all go into the woods together to seek our lives. Helping each other is what we should do. Besides, my daughter Fukiu, and Xi Jia'an are all inside. Who dares to let the wolves get in Get up quickly!"

The village head's arm was also injured, bearing the pain and sitting beside his wife, shouting at the crowd.

"Cut the formalities, if you're not hurt, get going and boil some water, make some food! If you are hurt, conserve your energy, bandage the wound, there's still a lot to do."

Uncle Zhao also said, “We can’t continue on our journey like this. We have to stop here for two or three days. We should cut down branches to build a shelter, hunt for food, and do whatever we can. For now, the wolves have been dealt with, so there won’t be any wild beasts coming over, but we can’t relax too much.”

After saying that, he remembered being ambushed just now and cursed again, “That bastard night watch was asleep! How could he sleep through this If I hadn't discovered it in time, we all would have had our necks bitten off!”

Four villagers immediately bowed their heads, their faces flushed red.

When I'm on edge during the day, I get really tired at night.

When it was their turn, seeing no movement around them, the four of them discussed amongst themselves. Two would take a nap while the other two kept watch.

Unexpectedly, the two people on guard couldn't help but close their eyes for a moment...

Uncle Zhao wanted to scold, but sighed instead.

These are all ordinary farmers, they aren't afraid of hard work like tilling the fields and weeding.

But to make them into hunters or soldiers, alert and brave, in a short period of time, is simply impossible.

To be fair, they've done pretty well so far.

Especially just now, they fought bravely and didn't retreat even when facing danger, everyone was wounded!

"Forget it, I won't make an exception. You have time to spare and think about this, one moment of laziness will harm everyone!"

Everyone nodded vigorously, this lesson was too profound; they promised themselves they would never forget it.

Zhang Shenyi's supply of medicinal herbs was insufficient, and he only treated seven or eight of the severely injured. The rest with minor injuries would have to persevere.

He must go into the forest immediately to collect medicinal herbs, grind them directly, and apply them to the wound. This can disinfect, stop bleeding, and reduce inflammation.

Another thing to do is to brew a large pot of medicinal soup for everyone to drink a bowl of.

Although wolf teeth are not venomous, they are not clean and can cause fever after being bitten. If you're unlucky, it could even be life-threatening.

Several wounded villagers and young boys, along with Jiaxi and Jiayin, went into the forest.

At this time, everyone pooled their resources and put in a hundred percent effort.

Fortunately, we've gone deep into the mountains now, with no sign of people. There are plenty of herbs here as well.

When the sun reached its zenith, all the wounded had been bandaged and taken their medicine.

The old women cooked a congee of sorghum rice to fill everyone's stomachs.

Old Li took half a scoop of glutinous rice, Tao Hongying cooked white rice porridge, beat two eggs for egg flowers, sprinkled some chopped vegetable leaves, and added a pinch of salt. That was the patient's meal.

Everyone, whether or not they had an appetite, ate a bowl.

When Grandma threw Jia Yin into the hole, she scraped her forehead. Although it didn't bleed much, it was purple and scary at this moment.

She was already plump, and it was even more obvious now.

Li Laotai repeatedly confirmed with Zhang, the divine doctor, that her granddaughter wouldn't hurt her brain before she could rest assured.

The eldest grandson, who carried the hopes of the whole family, has already been injured. If something happens to the younger granddaughter again, she simply wouldn't be able to live.

Jia Yin ate a few mouthfuls of congee and went to sit beside her elder brother.

Jia Ren's empty bowl was just beside her, she secretly added some ingredients and water to it, determined that her older brother must drink it down.

Jiā Rén couldn't refuse, so he reluctantly drank it down, hoping his sister could quiet him down for a while.

As a result, Jia Yin pulled his left hand and dragged it across his leg.

Jiarong didn't react at first, so he hugged his sister and sighed.

"Little sister is not making trouble, Big brother...my hand hurts!"

Jia Yin heard the choked sobs in her brother's voice, and she became even more anxious to comfort him.

"Big brother, left shoe!"

Unfortunately, her tongue wasn't very obedient yet. Jiaren couldn't understand a word she said. She got so frustrated that she ran off and grabbed a twig. In the open space beside her older brother, she wrote the character "Li" with her left hand.

This is something Xi Jia'an taught her, and now that it's written down, there's an excuse.

Indeed, Jiaren immediately sat upright and his eyes lit up.

Yes, my right hand is disabled, but I can still practice writing with my left.

The imperial court had no explicit written rule stating that the disabled could not take the civil service examination.

Even a hundred years ago, there was an official as high as chancellor who limped!

He excitedly hugged his sister, sobbing silently.

This is immense hope within despair, the redemption of his descent into hell!

"Sister, woohoo, thank you! I forgot, how could I forget!"

Jia Yin was pressed in her elder brother's arms. She winced, the bruise on her forehead throbbing from where it had been slammed, but she didn't move. Her small hand lightly patted her elder brother's arm.

As the eldest son of the Li family, Jiaren is proud and has always carried the responsibility of bringing honor to the family.

He felt a pain like no other, having suddenly lost half of his right hand.he pulled Jiayin to sit beside her and chatted idly for a few moments. 。Everyone found their places again. The second son of Madam Jia, the head of the Jia family, was stationed at the dockyard camp a...
