Chapters 302 and 302. Seeking Help
The village chief, seeing these people, dared not speak out in anger, and could only look at the Gu family, "Gu Baijiang, tell me, what's going on here?"

Gu Baijiang clutched his stomach, having barely made it to the village, only to be stopped here. His face was contorted with rage. "I told you it has nothing to do with you, get out of the way."

He then took the lead and ran towards home. At that time, they had built a simple outhouse next to the house, and he had to reserve the outhouse first.

The Gu family, who had been holding back all the way, followed closely behind. Gu Antong, running behind, saw her family ahead, turned around, and ran towards other farmers' houses, not forgetting to pull her mother along, "Mom, this way..."

The men Ming Peifeng brought had very grim expressions. "Lord Ming, we've lost several more brothers this time. If this continues, we'll all lose our lives here sooner or later."

"Has the reinforcements sent by our master not arrived yet?"

"It should be soon. You all know the roads are difficult to travel now, and we don't have any master's influence here." Ming Peifeng was seething with hatred just thinking about the county magistrate. If he had been willing to lend people, today's battle wouldn't have been so difficult.

If this happens a few more times, he might have to get involved himself.

"Take your wounded brothers to the county town for treatment first, and I'll take care of the rest."

The brothers who perished here must be properly buried, and their families must be comforted afterwards. All these losses will be attributed to Gu Baijiang.

Gu Baijiang rushed home without even noticing the extra snowdrifts in front of him, and was thrown off balance.

The Gu brothers, who were following closely behind him, also tripped and fell down.

"How is this going?"

Why are there snowdrifts in front of their house? Who shoveled the snow to their doorstep?
They didn't have time to check and rushed towards the outhouse.

In the end, Gu Baijiang took the initiative, and the others could only find a place to relieve themselves behind the house.

Xu Shuanghong and her daughter, pale-faced, helped each other out. They had no choice but to go to their room to take care of things, as they also felt ashamed.

Seeing this familiar place now, both of them thought of Fan Meibao at the same time.

"Mother, Meibao..."

"Yes, and Meibao too, she's injured," Xu Shuanghong said, remembering her daughter who had been shielded from the knife by Gu Baijiang. She staggered and tried to run towards the end of the village, unsure if Gu Kaiyuan would save Meibao.

He didn't mean to forget; at that moment, she felt she would die of thirst if she didn't drink water...

Gu Baijiang stood in the courtyard, looking at the snowdrifts in front of him with a gloomy expression. These must be the black-clad men who had tried to assassinate them before. He didn't know who had left them here, but now they were covered by snow again.

"Help me..." A faint cry for help came from the kitchen. Gu Kaichen rushed over immediately and found Fan Meibao lying in the kitchen, which was filled with a foul stench.

"This……"

Gu Kaichen quickly withdrew, but the scene lingered in his mind, making him feel extremely disgusted.

"Meibao," Xu Shuanghong pushed Gu Kaichen, who was blocking her way, aside. But when she saw the scene in the kitchen, she gasped for breath, then her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

"Mother," Fan Meilin quickly helped her up. Seeing her sister lying on the ground, she could only turn to the Gu family for help, "Brother Gu, Second Brother Gu, please save my sister."

Gu Kaiping came over, took a look, then clutched his stomach and walked aside, saying, "I'm completely weak and there's nothing I can do."

Gu Kaichen's eyes darted around, and he quickly leaned against the wall and sat down on the ground, "I can't take it anymore..."

The others all avoided her gaze, their meaning quite clear.

Fan Meilin had no choice but to help his mother to the side and then pinch her philtrum hard. The pain slowly woke Xu Shuanghong, and after a moment she came to her senses, she looked towards the kitchen with a worried expression, "You need to quickly find someone to save your sister."

Fan Meilin: "I've already begged, but no one is willing to help. Mother, what should I do?"

Xu Shuanghong gritted her teeth. The Gu family really inherited Gu Baijiang's selfishness. They could stand by and watch a person die.

Now she dared not waste any more time, and took out some loose silver from her bosom. "Go to the village and find two capable old women to come and clean up your sister first. Then we'll figure out a way to send her to the city for medical treatment."

The fact that Mei Bao has managed to hold on until now means that she hasn't been stabbed in a vital spot. If we send her into the city like this now, the doctors certainly won't be willing to help.

Fan Meilin took the silver without saying a word and ran towards the village. She skipped over the Chen family, who were standing there watching the show, and ran to a farmhouse in a more distant place.

"Aunt Chunmei, are you home?"

At this moment, the door opened, and Fan Meilin was seen. The other party immediately closed the door again.

"Your Aunt Chunmei isn't feeling well..." came a trembling voice from inside the door.

They all knew what happened at the Gu family's place yesterday, and they were all afraid of being implicated.

“I wanted to ask Aunt Chunmei for help. I’ll pay you. I’ve brought all this money with me,” Fan Meilin said, quickly taking out the money and holding it in her hand. “Look, I’m begging you to save my sister.”

Voices came from inside, and soon the door opened again. Tian Chunmei stood in the doorway. "Miss Fan, I'm too old now to be of any help to you."

"We can help you. You just need to clean my sister up. But can she come over here?"

"If I could, I'd give you all the silver I have."

Seeing the handful of loose silver in Fan Meiling's hand, which must have weighed at least six or seven taels, Tian Chunmei immediately nodded in agreement without hesitation, and even shook off her husband who tried to stop her.

She quickly took the silver from Fan Meilin's hand.

What's wrong with your little sister? Why do she need our help cleaning her?

Afterwards, Yu Daya and Yu Erya, who came out of the room, saw that their mother had received the money and knew that the work would ultimately fall on their shoulders. They could only suppress their fear and ask.

Could it be that the person is dead and they're just packing up their belongings?

Why did Mother accept such an unlucky thing?

"There was a bit of an accident, and you got all dirty and injured. Please clean yourself up, change into clean clothes, and then help take you to the county town for medical treatment."

Fan Meilin didn't know what they were worried about. Anyway, they would see what was going on, so she didn't hide anything. "It's a bit dirty and smelly. Please bear with us."

The two sisters breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just a little dirty and smelly, they wouldn't have any problem with it. When their grandmother was paralyzed in bed, it was always the sisters who took care of her.

"Can't we handle that on your end?"

Fan Meilin looked somewhat embarrassed. He had only come to relieve himself back then, and now the Gu family was really not a suitable place for him.

"The situation over there is a bit unusual. Please boil some hot water here quickly, and try to boil as much as possible."
