Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 42 The Incident
Three days later, the bodyguard team returned to Qinghe County.

Zhao Lin was supposed to return to Liuhemen as soon as possible, but maybe he was away from home for too long and missed his family, so he always felt a little flustered these days.

He knew that he was probably thinking wildly, but he was not at ease, so he said to Yuan Cheng: "Brother Yuan, I want to go home and have a look, you..."

Yuan Cheng smiled understandingly and said: "It's your first time to go far away, it's normal to be homesick, I'll go to Master and tell you, you go back first."

Zhao Lin thanked him and rushed home without stopping.

When he walked into the house and saw his parents and elder brother sitting in the main room, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

It seems that he thinks too much.

Hu Daming, a matchmaker, was a guest at home and was drinking the boiled water handed over by her brother Zhao Shan.

"Is it Lin'er?" Zhao's mother was overjoyed when she heard the familiar footsteps.

"Father, I'm back!" Zhao Lin strode into the room.

"Just come back." Zhao's father pulled him to sit beside him, and his mother followed him to ask questions.

Zhao Shan wanted to talk to his younger brother, but was held back by Hu Daming.

"I told you that the daughter of the old Zhang family in Shitian Village is famous for being beautiful and capable, but her vision is too high. She is in her twenties and hasn't married yet."

"Now her family is in a hurry, it's your turn to be lucky..."

Hu Daming was spitting all over the place, blowing the woman up into hype, Zhao Shan blushed and didn't know what to say.

Zhao Lin poured himself a glass of water and drank it slowly, thinking that one day he would take his brother to see what the woman looked like.

At this moment, there was a sudden "bang", and the courtyard door was kicked open.

Zhao Lin stood up in a jerk, rushed to the door, and saw Liang Song running in sweating profusely.

"Finally found your home, something... something happened!"

Zhao Lin's heart skipped a beat, he stepped forward and gave Liang Song a wink, and said in a low voice, "Go outside and talk about it."

"That's too late."

Liang Song broke away from Zhao Lin, "My cousin was taken away by Huzi!"

Zhao Lin felt a basin of cold water being poured on his head, and said in surprise, "How is that possible?"

"I saw it with my own eyes!"

Liang Song gritted his teeth and said, "My cousin said this morning that his back hurts. It may be a relapse of an old injury. I went to the town to get medicine for him. When I came back, I saw a dozen beards tied him up and dragged him away from the house."

"Bad dishes!"

Zhao Lin frowned, and couldn't figure out which link had gone wrong for a while, but since Hu Zi could find Zhu Dachun, it meant that they must have a clue.

"Where's Zhou Paotou? Did Hu Zi catch him?"

Liang Song shook his head and said, "Zhou Paotou is not at home, he must have gone out for something. I am worried that something will happen to you, so I will inform you first."

"Thank you so much!"

Zhao Lin patted Liang Song's shoulder vigorously, his thoughts turned quickly.

He knew that since Huzi had captured Zhu Dachun, no matter whether Zhu Dachun was recruited or not, he would definitely be able to find them.

Liang Song is Zhu Dachun's cousin, and has close contacts with Zhou Paotou, and many people in Baiqiao Village know about their hunting in the mountains, so Huzi can find them with a little research.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lin made a decisive decision, "We can't stay here anymore, let's run to the city, Huzi dare not arrest people there."

"Lin'er, what happened?"

The two talked in the yard, alarming the family members in the house, who all came out to ask him what was going on.

"Father, mother, brother, something serious has happened, we have to take refuge in the county town."

Zhao Lin stepped forward, pulled his parents and walked out.

"What's the rush?"

Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were a little confused, and subconsciously followed him out.

"Brother, tell me what's going on first." Zhao Shan stretched out his hand to stop Zhao Lindao.

The situation was urgent, Zhao Lin didn't hide any more, and said directly: "I offended Huzi, they might come to raid the house, so let's go now, it will be too late."

The whole family was completely dumbfounded, and followed him out obediently.

"Hey, don't go away, I haven't finished yet!" Hu Daming chased after him, stomping his feet.

When the five people left the village, Liang Song stopped suddenly and said to Zhao Lin, "I'll go back and have a look. If Zhou Paotou returns to the village, I'll tell him not to go home."

Seeing his firm eyes, Zhao Lin knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he told him, "You paint your face, change your clothes, be careful!"

"When we arrive at the county seat, we will meet at the gate of the yamen."

Liang Song nodded, turned around and ran towards Baiqiao Village from the path.

Zhao Lin took his family on the road. Because time was short, he squatted down and let his mother lie on his back. Then he hugged his father's waist with one hand, and ran towards the county with his brother.

After running for more than five miles, there was the sound of horseshoes behind him. Zhao Lin looked back and saw a group of twenty or so riders rushing towards him.

"It's him, don't let him get away!"

The beard who ran at the front shouted.

Zhao Lin knew that if he fell into Huzi's hands, the whole family would die, so he asked his mother to hug his neck tightly, stretched out his free hand to grab his brother's belt, and ran wildly.

"Catch him alive, let's see how I torture him."

The leader beard shouted arrogantly.

Zhao Lin ran vigorously, his legs swung like flying, and a cloud of smoke and dust rose behind him.

Now he is as strong as a cow and as agile as a leopard. Even though there are three people hanging on his body, he still runs like flying, leaving behind all the beards.

The beards were surprised to find that Zhao Lin was running faster than their horses, and the leader, Hu Zi, immediately changed his words: "Shoot the arrow, shoot him to death for me!"

There was a sound of bowstrings, and a rain of arrows flew over.

After Zhao Lin practiced martial arts, his eyes and ears were sharp, and when he heard the sound of bows and arrows behind him, he instinctively dodged to one side, and an arrow that rushed to the back of his heart hit his brother's lower back.

Zhao Shan grunted in pain.

Zhao Lin didn't have time to check his injuries, and ran forward desperately with his family.

After an unknown amount of time, the city tower of the county town finally appeared in sight.

Zhao Lin looked back and saw that the pursuers had long since disappeared, and the energy in his body was drained all of a sudden, and he almost fell to the ground.

I felt my heart beating like a drum, and I was so tired that I almost vomited blood.

He put his parents and elder brother down, and saw that his elder brother's clothes were stained red with blood.

"Brother, how are you?"

"It's okay, I'm a little dizzy." Zhao Shan said weakly.

Zhao Lin knew that it was caused by blood loss, so he quickly lifted his brother's clothes to check the wound. Fortunately, the arrowhead didn't penetrate deep into the flesh, and the blood that gushed out was red, indicating that the arrow was not poisonous.

He broke off the shaft of the arrow, then pulled out a few strips of cloth from the hem of his clothes, and simply bandaged the wound.

"Lin'er, you support your brother, we can walk by ourselves." Zhao's father helped Zhao's mother to stand up, and said distressedly.

"Father, mother, take a break, I'll take care of it."

Zhao Lin appeased his parents, stopped a carriage going into the city from the main road, gave the driver a handful of copper coins, and asked him to take his family into the city.

The coachman glanced at Zhao Shan, and without saying a word, he drove the carriage towards the city and stopped at the gate of the county government office.

The county government is the concentrated place of the county government. The military room and torture room are set up here, and it is the safest place in the entire county.

Zhao Lin found an inn near the county government office, settled his parents and brother, and went to invite a doctor right away.

There was a medical clinic near the county government office. Zhao Lin asked the doctor to explain the situation and gave him a tael of silver for the visit fee.

The doctor came to the inn with Zhao Lin, checked Zhao Shan's injuries, and said, "There is no danger for his life, just treat the wound and stop the bleeding."

"You ask the buddy to boil a pot of water, and then boil a pot of white vinegar and bring it here."

After hearing the doctor's words, Zhao Lin was sure.

According to his limited medical knowledge, injuries in ancient times were not the most terrible thing, but wound infection. The doctor knew how to use hot water and white vinegar to disinfect, so the medical skills should not be too bad.

Zhao Linyi ordered boiling water and boiled white vinegar to be brought, and the doctor took out scissors, a knife, tweezers, and a half-foot white cloth from the medicine box, and put several things in the boiling water and white vinegar in turn for disinfection.

After a while, Zhao Shan's screams like killing a pig came from the guest room...
