At his doorstep, Zhang Tianhao saw Ah Hu standing there and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, seeing the strong smell of blood on Ah Hu's body, his heart couldn't help but tighten, since the smell of blood meant that a fight had taken place.

"Ahua, let's go talk over there!"

"Young master, how come there's a woman in your house? Could it be...?"

"The person I bought this morning was also a pitiful person. If I hadn't bought him, he might have been sold to places like Cuihonglou and developed a taste for drugs."

"I see, then this woman..."

"Just treat her as an acquaintance. After all, I haven't been here long, and my recovery has accelerated quite a bit. My situation here is rather complicated, and I might have to leave in a month at most. Of course, if you can take care of her, then do so; she's just a young girl, and it's quite pitiful."

"Right!"

Ahua knew how busy Zhang Tianhao was, but this time he had been in Changfeng for almost two months, which was the longest he had ever stayed.

Furthermore, Ahua knew that Zhang Tianhao was here, and there must be a reason for that.

"By the way, Ahua, find out what the Japanese have been doing in Han Street since they came here. I have a feeling something's been going on there!"

"That can't be right, isn't that how it is there?"

"Ask the elderly people there!"

"Ok!"

"By the way, why do you smell of blood? Did something happen?"

“I went to Erhushan, and just as you said, the Japanese organized a small team, along with about two companies of puppet troops, to attack there.”

"How's the battle going?"

"It was a terrible battle. Of the more than 120 people, only more than 40 are left. The Japanese soldiers were too accurate with their guns. Who would have thought that they could mobilize an entire squad of Japanese soldiers?"

"Where are Ah Hu and the others now?"

"They've already withdrawn. Ever since Ah Hu took over, he's arranged for people to send the important supplies to Dingyuan. What's left are some grain and worthless items."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianhao felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. He hadn't expected that so many people would die in this incident at Erhu Mountain alone.

"Are any of you three injured or killed?"

"Xiao Kong suffered a minor injury, but it's not serious. He's been brought back, and you'll probably need to have surgery!"

Ahua was also a little embarrassed, after all, he had brought the injured person back, which was not a good thing.

"Young Master, I'm sorry, Ah Hu didn't do a good job on the things you arranged!"

"No, he's done a great job, and he should be back by now, right?"

"Yes, I'm at the dock right now, keeping watch. It's not a good time to show my face, or I'll easily be spotted by the Japanese or spies."

"Row!"

"What are the casualties of the Japanese soldiers?"

"There were probably twenty or thirty casualties, and as for the puppet troops, about sixty or seventy died!"

"That's already quite good!"

He was quite satisfied. At least 120 ordinary, newly trained soldiers were able to kill so many enemies, which was absolutely exaggerated.

"Let's go, let's get Xiao Kong treated!"

"Ok!"

The two quickly disappeared through the doorway and appeared in another place, also a basement.

Half an hour later, Zhang Tianhao looked at the small hole that had been bandaged and fainted. This injury was indeed quite serious.

Although it wasn't fatal, it took a heavy toll.

"Alright, that's enough for this matter. I've already had the anti-inflammatory medication, and I still have one more injection left. I estimate I'll need another one tomorrow night, and then I should be able to pull through!"

As he spoke, he took out another bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine and placed it aside. "Young Master, this medicine..."

"Don't think too much. We're brothers. Whether he needs medicine or not doesn't matter. As long as he's alright, that's all that matters."

"Thank you, Master."

"Alright, I'm going back now!"

"it is good!"

……

Leaning against the headboard, looking at the little girl who was already asleep beside him, his face was radiant. He smiled and didn't say anything more. After all, what had happened had already occurred, and he really didn't intend to do anything about it.

He glanced at the time; it was already dawn. It was dawn again. It seemed as if he had formed a bond with dawn, something he could never forget.

He hadn't wanted to provoke this little girl, but she was so proactive, which surprised him.

"Sleep, sleep, it's all in the past!"

He gently patted the little girl's back, his face showing little surprise. After all, when someone wants to grasp at the last straw, they are willing to give everything for it.

Xiaoju is in this situation; she's so tired she's fallen asleep, but a smile is on her face.

He gently embraced Xiaoju, then closed his eyes and began to circulate his internal energy.

As he continued to circulate his energy, a large amount of vital energy was generated within his body, constantly impacting the last few blood clots.

This may be the happiest moment, but also the most painful. After all, breaking through that blood clot is not something that can be done casually; it needs to be dissolved slowly, rather than being forcibly broken open.

Those fine meridians simply cannot withstand such a strong impact and are very likely to break.

Therefore, he could only dissolve them in the gentlest way.

When dawn broke the next day, Zhang Tianhao slightly opened his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"In just one more day, we'll be able to break through, and then we can fully recover!"

He glanced at Xiaoju, who was clinging to him like an octopus, shook his head, and prepared to get up.

He gently removed her hands from her body, then her legs, before lifting the covers and getting out of bed.

I got out of bed and went outside. I saw that it had started snowing lightly again. The snow wasn't heavy, but there were some snow tracks on the ground.

"Look at the snow this day, it might snow even more!"

Although the snow was light, the snowflakes were quite large, somewhat like a harbinger of a heavy snowfall.

Upon arriving in the kitchen, he began preparing breakfast. This was considered an absolute luxury here, as people typically ate only two meals a day due to limited food supplies. It was simply unavoidable.

He still insisted on eating three meals a day, which is absolutely outrageous.

As breakfast was slowly prepared, a pot of porridge and two cornbreads were added, which was enough.

There were also some pickled vegetables; it wasn't a lavish meal, but it was definitely quite good.

Seeing the breakfast that had already been prepared, he went into the room and called Xiaoju.

"Xiaoju, get up and have breakfast."

"what--"

Perhaps it was instinct, but as soon as Xiaoju heard this, she immediately turned over and instinctively tried to get out of bed.

But when she opened her eyes, she saw Zhang Tianhao in front of her and realized that she had been sold by her family to the man in front of her, who might be the man for the rest of her life.

"You're awake. Get up, wash up, and get ready for breakfast!"

"Ok!"

Xiaoju responded with a soft "yes," her face flushing slightly. She prepared to get out of bed, but just as she was about to step down, a look of pain crossed her face. (End of Chapter)
