Chapter 603: Chapter 607: Rare in the World_1
"Wife, have you suffered many injuries before?" Tan Zhenghong suddenly asked.
Otherwise, how could his wife’s technique be so skilled? Moreover, the herbs she recognized were basically of two types.
One type was for beauty and skincare, and the other was for treating injuries.
Qiao Duo’er smiled faintly, "I shouldn’t have, it’s all from a past life; I can’t remember clearly anymore."
Tan Zhenghong suddenly grasped Qiao Duo’er’s hand, "Then forget about it, you are mine now, and it has nothing to do with your past life."
As her man, he should ensure she never gets hurt again.
"Let go of me, and hurry up to put on your clothes!" Qiao Duo’er glared at Tan Zhenghong.
Tan Zhenghong immediately dressed and took Qiao Duo’er by the hand to the kitchen; with this incident involving Xuan Eagle Mountain Village, only by holding his wife’s hand could he feel a bit more at ease.
That damned Xuan Eagle Mountain Village, having grown wildly thanks to the Yin Family’s indulgence, probably isn’t content to remain just in the Xuan Eagle Mountain Village anymore.
Qiao Duo’er had not eaten all afternoon, voraciously nibbling on steamed buns.
Tan Zhenghong hurriedly poured her a glass of water, "Drink some water first, eat slowly, and don’t choke."
With the support of Tan Zhenghong’s hand, Qiao Duo’er drank the water and then resumed nibbling on the steamed buns.
She ate quickly, but her movements were still graceful and beautiful.
The next day, Qiao Duo’er got up especially early and accompanied Tan Zhenghong to the ancestral hall with the ox cart.
On the way, they met Erhu and Chao Lian, as well as a few familiar faces, and invited them onto the cart.
By the time they arrived, the people had already subdued Xiao Lingchuan and Tan Zhengyuan onto the ox carts.
Many people from the village were prepared to follow to the county town, as winter was the most leisurely time for the farming households, and everyone wanted to witness the excitement.
What was more important was to see how the Xiao Family would be dealt with, or else the next child to disappear might be from their family.
For instance, some grandmothers who favored boys over girls wanted to sell the young girls in their families, or brothers with dark hearts thinking of selling their nephews and nieces for money, or there were those with a mindset for revenge.
All these possibilities could happen, and they had to guard against them in advance.
With Xiao Lingchuan’s character, there was no type of silver he wouldn’t dare to earn in this world.
"It’s perfect timing that Zhenghong and Erhu have arrived, both of you know some fighting techniques. Sit together on the ox cart; we mustn’t let these arrogant criminals escape, or they might harm others again!"
A man hopped off the ox cart, yielding his seat to Tan Zhenghong and Sun Erhu.
The nimbleness of a hunter was definitely stronger than that of simple farmers like them; having them aboard would certainly be safer.
Huang Zhong hurriedly said, "Zhenghong is still injured, how can you let him sit on this ox cart? They’re all tied up anyway, and they surely won’t be able to escape."
The young man climbed back onto the ox cart, apologizing, "I forgot about that, I’m really sorry."
Tan Zhenghong shook his head, "I’ll just follow behind you all. If something happens, I won’t just stand by."
"Brother Hong is still so righteous, but you also have to be careful about yourself. Xuan Eagle Mountain Village has raised quite a few beasts, and I’m worried they’ll come looking for trouble again."
Tan Zhenghong thanked the person who cared about him, while on the other side, Tie Niu had already gotten the journey underway.
Heading to the Government Office earlier rather than later was best; if someone was ahead of them, they’d have to wait half a day.
Seeing Tan Zhenghong driving the ox cart, Jiang’s Clan immediately squeezed over.
"Zhenghong, can you give your aunt a lift? My legs aren’t good, I can’t walk long distances."
Jiang’s face was full of smiles, having completely forgotten the unpleasantness during Chao Lian’s wedding, to be so shameless was quite rare in this world.
