Chapter 86 Intention
Sun Dalang did not dare to raise his head, but just lowered his head and said: "The first time I saw Miss Chuihua, I fell deeply in love with her. If I can marry her, I will be loyal to you for the rest of my life!"

Xiao Shirong chuckled, finding it quite amusing.

Chuihua was so anxious that she burst into tears and said, "Madam, this servant of yours..."

Xiao Shirong glanced at her and asked, "Do you have the right to speak here?"

Chuihua's heart trembled, and she held back her tears and dared not confront him again.

Xiao Shirong agreed to Sun Dalang's request without much thought, but on the premise that he must complete what she asked.

The mother and son of the Sun family hurriedly agreed and went to the village to make arrangements.

In the evening, Mother Tang helped Xiao Shirong take a bath and carefully asked about what happened during the day.

After listening to Chuihua's story, she thought about it and felt that Xiao Shirong might just be pretending to be nice and did not really want to marry Chuihua to a scoundrel like Sun Dalang.

But when she asked, Xiao Shirong's answer made her feel cold from head to toe.

"Since Sun Dalang is deeply in love with your daughter, how can I not agree?"

Mother Tang's hands trembled and she poured more cold water into the bathtub.

Xiao Shirong frowned, "Why, you are not happy?"

Mother Tang's mind raced, and she said quickly, "My daughter appreciates your kindness, Madam. But that Sun Dalang is good for nothing, he is lustful and cowardly. If Chuihua marries him, the rest of her life will be ruined!"

Xiao Shirong picked up the rose floating on the water and said nonchalantly, "Your daughter is of low birth, how can you expect to marry into a noble family? If she can help me win over the Sun family's spy, it will be worthwhile for the Pei family to cultivate her."

Mother Tang's face twitched and her hands shook violently.

It took the village two days to accommodate all the injured.

The men who were fighting the enemy were injured to varying degrees. Several seriously injured men who had undergone surgery were still unconscious in the room. The women stayed by their side, praying that they could wake up.

It was evening again before Xie Fei was able to come out of the operating room.

Her apron was still covered in blood and she didn't have time to take it off, so she went to find Yuan San first.

Yuan Sanzheng carried a bow and arrow on his back and inserted a short knife into his waist.

Chen Dafa and Daniu's injuries were relatively minor and they are fine after being bandaged.

Seeing that they seemed to be going on a long journey, Xie Fei asked anxiously, "Are they going to chase the bandits?"

Yuan San bent down and tied two daggers to his legs, saying, "The government didn't catch up."

The bandits are vengeful. So many of their brothers have died, and they have not gained any benefits yet. They will definitely come back after a rest.

Yuan San wants to nip all dangers in the bud and not let any hidden dangers threaten Xie Fei.

Chen Dafa saw that Xie Fei was worried, so he said, "Don't worry, little girl. The three of us will go together and act accordingly."

Daniu also said: "The horse bandits never thought we would dare to chase them. We will catch them by surprise, and our chances of winning are quite high."

In particular, Xie Fei also gave poison.

The drug was extremely potent, and if the wound was contaminated by even a little bit of it, the only thing left was death.

They insisted on going, and Xie Fei couldn't persuade them anymore. He took some healing medicine for them to take with them, and then watched them leave at night.

She returned to her room, changed her clothes, and took a shower and washed her hair.

Performing surgeries one after another made her body very tired and heavy. Now that Fu Yu was watching over her, she could finally take a break.

However, before he could close his eyes, there was a knock on the door.

Because the gate of the yard was damaged by bandits and had not been repaired yet, anyone could come in directly.

Xie Fei asked: "Who is it?"

"Young lady, it's me." Sun's voice came.

Xie Fei asked impatiently: "What's the matter?"

"Girl, I've boiled some hot water for you to take a bath before you go to bed." "I've already taken a bath and gone to bed, so you don't need to ask me anymore."

These past two days, Sun was like a troublemaker. She knew Xie Fei was very busy, but she ignored her work and insisted on helping Xie Fei take a bath.

Mother Liu and others felt that she had bad intentions and was busy, so they rejected her several times.

She still didn't give up, always finding opportunities to take advantage of them, sticking tighter than a dog-skin plaster.

After hearing from Xie Fei that it had been washed, Sun felt as sad as if her parents had died.

"Girl, have you changed your clothes? I see they are covered in blood. Why don't I wash them for you?"

Xie Fei just wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible, so he simply threw all the dirty clothes to her. She left happily as if she had found a treasure.

During the day, Xie Fei had just woken up and made some noise, and Sun was talking outside.

"Girl, are you awake? I've boiled some hot water and am here to help you wash up."

Xie Fei was so annoyed that he hesitated for a long time before letting her in.

Sun pushed the door open with water in her hand and helped Xie Fei put on his clothes with a smile.

After breakfast, Xie Fei went to see the wounded first.

Thanks to timely treatment, most of the people survived, but some had their legs chopped off. Even though Xie Fei had the ability to save lives, he was unable to reconnect the severed limbs like in modern society.

The disabled people were in so much pain that they would rather bite their tongues and commit suicide than burden their families.

Xie Fei said, although his legs were disabled, his hands and head were still intact. Even though he could no longer do hard labor, he could always use a crutch to help with housework and make decisions when something big happened.

If I really die, I will be all over, but my wife, children and parents will have to live in grief for the rest of their lives.

After hearing this and seeing the family members crying, people knew that Xie Fei was telling the truth.

It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. No matter how hard or difficult the life is, I cannot just leave for the sake of my wife, children and parents.

After another busy morning, Xie Fei came out of the house and saw Mother Liu waiting in the corridor.

Seeing Xie Fei, Mother Liu came up to support him and whispered, "The loss this time is heavy. Not to mention the fields were burned and the crops were trampled, the damage to the house is even more serious. It will take several months to repair it."

What’s more important is that the New Year is approaching and all the major farms have to pay rent to the Pei Mansion.

Even if they encountered horse bandits, if the Pei Mansion insisted that they hand them over, they would have no choice but to obey orders.

But no grass grew wherever the bandits passed. They didn't like the things originally piled up in the warehouse and simply burned them.

The stock in the cellar was either burned to ashes or covered in blood and was inedible.

Even the fruit trees around the village were chopped down by the bandits.

Not to mention handing it in by the end of the year, not even a grain of food could be found.

Xie Fei had been a housekeeper before, so he had a general idea of ​​what was going on. He asked, "Can't you explain this situation to the Pei family?"

Mother Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Not everyone is like you, Miss Xie, who is willing to be considerate of others."

Madam Xiao was born into a noble family. She had never known the sufferings of the world, let alone what labor was.

In her eyes, crops grow from the fields themselves, and game falls into the hands of hunters themselves.

As long as there is water in the lotus pond, fish and shrimp can be caught in bunches without any effort.

The servants just ate and drank at the farm and were extremely lazy. They not only took the monthly salary from the Pei Mansion, but also embezzled the output of the farm.

Therefore, even if Mother Liu reported to Pei Mansion on the grounds of horse bandits, Madam Xiao would only ask in return, did the horse bandits steal all the revenue?

After such a long time, is it possible that there are no new crops, wild game, fruits, etc. to harvest in the fields and mountains?

Maybe, we should blame the people in the village for being too cunning and dishonest, which caused so many troubles.
