ingxia wore a displeased expression. "Big brother is right, this Fang Jinshu is truly blessed with good fortune.""She's now forcing your older brother to show himself, most likely because she wants yo...Chapter 1211: She Underestimated the Wisdom of the Ancients
"Nice to see you again, Ah Sheng."
When Fang Jinshi shouted his name, Ah Sheng's scalp went numb. He thought he was swallowed by the desert and died, but suddenly appeared alive in front of you. How could this not be frightening
And Ah Sheng couldn't figure out how she survived in the quicksand. Could it be that a ghost came back to claim her life!
As soon as he thought of this, Ah Sheng couldn't help but pull Gou Wa and the others closer to himself. He stared at Fang Jinxiu with a wary face, suppressing the fear in his heart.
"Fang Lady, you know Brother Aseng" Gouwa was still very happy.
Fang Jinshi let out a chuckle that didn't quite convey meaning, "It's more than just knowing each other, I have a deep connection with your village."
Compared to Fang Jinxiu's composure, Ah Sheng was much more agitated.
As soon as he returned to the village, he remembered what the villagers had done to them a while ago. Zhao Ge also died in the woods nearby.
The scene became a bit awkward for a moment. Ah Sheng looked at the children who were unharmed and finally let out a sigh.
The village head's actions towards them were indeed wrong. If it was truly vengeful spirits seeking retribution, then take his life as payment.
After figuring things out, Ah Sheng suddenly took a big step forward, standing in front of Fang Jinyu. He psyched himself up, overcoming the fear in his heart and looking at her.
"You, you, if you want revenge, come find me."
"It was I who pushed you all into the sandbox. Our village headman is now lying half-dead on his bed. Perhaps this is just retribution for what we have done." Ah Sheng smiled bitterly.
"Please spare the other people in our village, they are all innocent."
Fang Jinshi let out a chuckle, "If I were here for revenge, I wouldn't have sent Gouwa and the others back."
Hearing this, Ah Sheng quietly let out a breath, but his gaze became even more complex.
"Did you save Gouwa and the others because they had some ulterior motives"
"You think we're as cruel and ruthless as you" Asheng said angrily.
"Ruthless."
A-sheng lowered his head in shame. He didn't want to harm anyone, but he couldn't help it either.
Fang Jinshi raised her hand to stop Asheng from continuing. She was still hoping that the people in Lü He Village would do her a favor.
Seeing this, Asheng guessed that Lady Fang might not pursue their village's past deeds. He hurriedly invited the two into the village.
"You must be tired after driving all this way, why don't you come in and rest for a night If you need anything, just let us know."
Asheng rubbed his hands together a bit awkwardly, “We’ll do our best to meet your needs.”
Asheng scoffed, "Are you really that easily satisfied"
"If it weren't for the pity we have for the children, we wouldn't bother with your murderers' affairs."
Even if the people of Lühé Village had reasons for harming others, they were still responsible for taking lives. Coupled with Zhao Ge's grudge, Asheng felt a knot in his stomach that he couldn't swallow.
Fang Jinshi stood still and refused A Sheng's invitation to enter the village.
"I advise you all to pack your things and take your families out of the village as soon as possible. These children were released by me privately, the county magistrate is dead."
"Those government officials will definitely come to the village soon. This village has nothing anyway, and if you continue living here, you're just waiting to die."
Asheng clenched his fists, he hadn't expected things to be this bad.
But he didn't blame Fang Jinxiu at all. It was good enough that the children were brought back safely. He had thought that everyone in the village would be dead.
"But we have nowhere to relocate. Although there are few families left in our village, it's still a community. Without an official decree from the government, we have no right to build houses and settle on other land."
"Leaving the village is also a dead end."
If he were alone, he could leave at any time.
There are still elderly people and women in the village, and the children have all returned. Even if they went to escape, they couldn't go far.
Fang Jinshu froze, her brows furrowing tightly.
Suddenly, she remembered.
"Do you know that there's a very lush forest to the south of the village"
Ah Sheng nodded. "I know, but there are many wild beasts living in that forest, as well as wolf packs. We wouldn't dare get close."
Forests are more dangerous than deserts.
Fang Jinshu calmly reminded him, "Do you still have a choice now"
"Staying here means certain death. It's better to come into the forest with me. At least there, life is abundant and we can find food. It's better than living on the edge of the desert, isn't it"
Asheng felt that Fang Jinxiu made sense, but as a junior, he couldn't make the decision on this matter.
"So many lives are at stake, I can't make the decision alone. Why don't you come with me to see the village head"
"Only the village head, he is still unconscious now, we don't know if he will wake up."
Fang Jinxiu, without a word, strode forward. "Lead the way, I'll wake him up."
As long as Lü Village Head wasn't completely dead, even if he was just drawing his last breath, she could bring him back.
Asheng asked Gouwa and the others to inform the villagers about the collective relocation first, so they could make preparations. He himself followed Fang Jinshu and went to the village head's house.
Lyu village head's house was empty, last time I came it still had furniture, now even the broken table and chairs are gone, the bed frame has been replaced with straw.
The pallid Village Chief Lü lay on top, his son dead in the desert, and his wife had run off with another man as their village grew poorer day by day.
The village head has been a widower for many years.
"Madam Fang, are you really able to wake up our village chief"
Fang Jinxiu nodded. "Go out first."
A Sheng was a little hesitant, he still wanted to try to stay, but was dragged out by A Sheng.
After the person left, Fang Jinshu took out silver needles and medicine to start treating Lu Village Head. Most of Lu Village Head's injuries were external, luckily his internal organs weren't ruptured. He just lost too much blood and his wounds worsened, so he fainted.
She went out for a bit in the middle and told Ah Sheng to get a basin of boiling hot water ready. She had everything else in her space, but only lacked this.
Soon Ah-sheng brought the hot water.
Fang Jinshi also cleaned the wounds on Lü Village Chief's body thoroughly, disinfected them and then applied medicine. Where stitches were needed, she also sutured them.
The suture is also worth mentioning. The silk thread, originally intended for embroidery in this ancient setting, was not meant to be used here. After all, there wasn't a sterile environment suitable for surgery.
She could sew, but being a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, she didn't want to bother.
But one time when Ah Yu was training his soldiers, he got a long cut on his arm. He saved a young general who had been knocked away; if Ah Yu hadn't intervened, the man would have likely died.
This wound is longer and takes longer to heal, but Zongyu has to go to the military camp for training every day. It's impossible for him to stay home and wait for the wound to heal.
At that moment, she casually complained, "If only there were catgut sutures, you could directly sew up the wound and it would heal in two or three days."
When Mujin heard this, she kept it in her heart. Afterward, she asked Fang Jinshu what sheep intestines were, and Fang Jinshu explained it to Mujin at the time. She didn't intend for her to make it then.
She subconsciously thought that ancient times couldn't make modern medical supplies and tools, but the wisdom of the ancients surprised her. She got slapped in the face.
A few days later, Mukjen excitedly brought a spool of twine to her face.
Fang Jinxiu was astonished, but what surprised her even more was that the sheep intestine thread made from hibiscus was almost indistinguishable from modern ones. After sterilization, it could be used directly.
She underestimated the wisdom of the ancients.ef that she might actually be able to do it.They looked at each other for a moment. Gu Liusheng remembered that he still had a request to make of the other person, so he conceded defeat first and aver...
