The fierce peasant woman is busy farming

Among the men in black, there was one who knew medicine. He stepped forward to check his master's other injuries and gave him a simple bandage.

Then he checked on the old woman and the child and reported something to Song Yuan.

Song Yuan nodded, took out a silver ingot from his pocket and handed it to Xie Ping.

So, the men in black divided into two teams. One team followed Song Yuan to the county government office, and they took the child away.

Under the command of Xie Ping, a team cut down two small trees nearby, quickly made a simple stretcher, and carried Zhou Yue towards the village at the foot of the mountain.

They first asked about the village chief's house. Although the villager who was asked was very scared, he did not think much about it because of the three copper coins given by the other party, and readily took the group to the village chief's house.

The village chief listened to the man in black explain his purpose and looked at the badge handed over by the other party.

He looked at the unconscious old woman on the stretcher, nodded, and led them to a farmhouse at the entrance of the village.

This farmhouse has a large courtyard. The house is old and someone is talking inside.

"Qing'er, go to the village entrance and see why your mother hasn't come back yet? She is getting lazier and lazier. She said she was out digging wild vegetables, but now the sun is high in the sky and everyone else has returned from the fields, but she is still out there enjoying her leisure time."

It was the voice of an old woman.

"Yes, grandma, don't worry, I'll go take a look."

It was a clear girl's voice.

The dilapidated gate creaked open and a brown figure flashed out, looking towards the mountains outside the village.

The village chief and his group of people came up from behind her. He coughed and said, "Qing girl, are you looking for your mother? She has fainted. Please ask your brother to carry her in."

The girl called "Qing'er" was very young, a little plump, and looked anxious. After hearing what the village chief said, she hurried to check on the old woman on the stretcher.

Seeing that the woman with closed eyes and covered in blood was her own mother, Qing'er screamed, "Oh my God, what's going on?"

Then he hugged the old woman and started crying.

Xie Ping took a step forward, scratching his head anxiously, and stammered: "Well, sister, we have checked, auntie is fine, she was just scared and fainted, she will wake up soon, don't worry."

Qing'er raised her head, her face full of tears, and stared at Xie Ping with hatred. She was not afraid of the black clothes and black scarf covering his face. She gritted her teeth and said, "What did you do to my mother?"

"Miss Qing, your mother was not frightened by us, but by the kidnapper. It was the kidnapper who frightened her."

You can't say that you were scared by a five or six-year-old child killing someone, right?

No one would believe it if I told them.

The village chief was watching from the side, listening to their unclear arguments, and stepped forward and said:

"Qing girl, carry your mother into the house first and change her clothes. These are officials. They will explain everything to you and give you an explanation."

After all, he is the most powerful official in the village, so we have to listen to the village chief.

The men in black carried Zhou Yue into the yard.

The yard is very large, with three main rooms and two side rooms, all made of stone.

This place is in the mountains, and the thing that is most abundant in the mountains is stone. Therefore, the villagers rarely build brick houses, but mostly stone houses.

Although the house is not very tall, it is sturdy. If it is built well, it can last for hundreds of years.

Qing'er was shouting, "Grandma, Brother Yuan, Sister Yang... Come quickly, Mom is back, she fainted."

At the same time, he led the men in black to carry Zhou Yue into the west wing.

When the family heard the shouting, they hurriedly put down the work in their hands and rushed into the west wing.

The village chief looked at the crowd and said hurriedly, "Thirteenth brother and sister-in-law, Yuan'er stays, and the others go out."

After a pause, I looked at the children's faces filled with anxiety and worry, and felt a little reluctant. Alas, what a pitiful family.

With such an insane father and a grandfather paralyzed on the kang, and now the only person who can help, my mother has fainted again.

To them, it was like the sky had fallen.

He quickly added: "Your mother is fine, she just fainted from shock. The blood on her body is not hers. She helped the officer catch the thief today. Don't worry, the officer will give you an explanation."

At this time, a boy about ten years old ran in crying, shouting: "Mom, mom, what happened to you? You were fine when you went out, how come... Wuuuu, mom, please don't die..."

Ning Qingmo, the eldest daughter of the family, who had already walked out of the door, grabbed her younger brother, hugged him in her arms and whispered, "Don't worry, brother Xuan, there is milk. My eldest brother and the village chief are in there. Mom is fine. Come, go wash your face first."

At this time, a loud shout came from the east wing, accompanied by the sound of pounding on the edge of the kang: "Qing'er, come here and tell Grandpa, what's going on?"

Yang Er hurriedly pulled his younger brother and sister and walked quickly into the east wing.

Seeing that grandpa was about to jump off the kang, he hurried forward to support him and said, "Grandpa, grandpa, please be careful. Mom fainted. The village chief said it's nothing serious. Mom helped the government catch the thief this time..."

Grandpa Ningtou breathed a sigh of relief. His son didn't want them anymore, so nothing could happen to his daughter-in-law again, otherwise how would this family, with the old and the young, survive?

In the west wing, the conversation was coming to an end.

Xie Ping is not a talkative person and he makes things clear in a few words.

"This old woman, ahem, this lady met us in the mountains when we were trying to catch a kidnapper. The kidnapper took her hostage in a hurry and threw her out in the chaos. She was injured on the back of her head, where she hit a rock and got a big bump. Our doctor has checked her out and she's fine."

Hearing this, the old woman's mother-in-law Qian became anxious and said hurriedly: "He hit his head. What if he became stupid? How can you say he's fine when he hasn't woken up yet?"

Xie Ping glanced at her and then looked at the village chief.

The village chief cleared his throat and said, "Thirteenth brother's sister, please listen to what the official has to say. Don't worry, with me, Ning Qi, here, I will never let your family suffer any loss."

Seeing that Qian had stopped talking, Xie Ping continued, "Don't worry, the government has always been fair in its work, and those who have committed mistakes will be punished, and those who have made contributions will be rewarded.

Our leader has gone to the county, leaving me to handle the matter.

We will report this lady's contribution truthfully, and the government will issue the reward."

"But……"

Ning Yuanmo, the eldest son of the Ning family, looked at his mother with her eyes closed on the kang and said anxiously, "But we need to ask a doctor to check on her first before we can discuss anything else. There's still blood oozing from the back of her head, so she needs to be bandaged."

Xie Ping opened his mouth and wanted to say that this little injury was nothing.

On second thought, this little injury is nothing to these people who live on the edge of danger.

But she was just a peasant woman, and the most common thing she would do on a daily basis was probably to make a small cut while cutting vegetables, or get pricked by the thorns of the wild jujubes in the mountains.

Hitting the head and bleeding is a big deal for them.

Xie Ping suddenly felt a little annoyed. If he had known that this matter would be so troublesome, he would have asked his younger brother Xie An to come. He thought that after sending the person and giving the money, he could just pat his butt and leave.

He suppressed his temper and nodded, "Go get a doctor."
