C12 (1/2)
The warm sun shone onto the Yang Mansion, and the bloodstains on the walls glowed red under the sunlight. A thick smell of blood spread throughout the valley, and in front of the walls in the east, south and west directions of the Yang Mansion, there were many corpses lined up in a disorderly fashion.
”Mom, let's go down. I'm a bit cold.”
Facing this bloody valley, Yang Juan could not help but shiver. Although the sun was high in the sky, she felt the cold. To a little girl, this bloody scene was truly a little terrifying. But, she still had to face it, who told her to be the only successor to the Yang Mansion?
Looking at her daughter, Lady Yang's heart was suddenly filled with sorrow. It had already been ten years, and he had forcefully held on to the Yang Mansion by himself. After experiencing this calamity, she finally felt that her strength was insufficient. Yang Mansion urgently needed a pillar to support her.
”Juan'er, these bandits are bullying no one in my Yang Mansion. Mother is giving up on this face, and sending someone to Yang Lei's family, will also become this marriage. ”
”I'll listen to mother.”
The mother and daughter pair walked down from the courtyard wall and saw that the servants were currently carrying the injured servants and young strong men into the courtyard. Hua Tuo and his disciples who had remained in Yang Mansion were currently rescuing the wounded.
”Yang Fa, register the villagers who came to rescue us today and send a handful of food to each of them. All of the injured villagers have asked them to come to the Yang Mansion to treat them. Those who are already dead, let's see if they still have any relatives.
”Yes, ma'am. It's just that Yang Lei's family left after fighting the bandits, I think even if they sent the food over, they wouldn't want it. ”
”This old thing! Forget about the family, I'll make other arrangements. ”
”Yes, ma'am. What about the wounded bandits? ”
”Bring them in as well. They are heartless, so we can't not show them our righteousness.”
”Yes, ma'am.”
The ground was full of wounded people, making Hua Tuo and his disciples extremely busy. Most of the servants, young and strong, and bandits that were shot by arrows, as long as they were treated in time, would not be in danger. Only those who had been killed by swords and spears had no hope of being cured.
”Mr. Hua, I am truly sorry. I didn't expect that when I invited you here, I would run into bandits. Not only did they frighten you, they also exhausted you. ”
”It's all right, ma'am. It's just that I don't have much of it and I don't have enough manpower to concoct it. Madame, would you like to send someone to my house to call all of my disciples and bring all of the boiling water powder I concocted? ”
”Okay, I can also send some people to help you.”
The patient drank the pill he made, and after a while, as if drunk to death, he had no feeling at all. Thus, he could start the operation, and when the operation was carried out, the patient would not feel any pain. After sewing the wound, the patient would apply the medicine made by Hua Tuo, and after four or five days, the patient would feel better, and would no longer feel pain. Within a month, the wounds would heal and heal.
At this time, Yang Cheng who was covered in blood, walked over. It was unknown if it was his blood or the blood of the bandits, but there was not a single clean spot on his body, and her clothes were still smeared with minced meat. His body was emitting a pungent smell of blood, causing Lady Yang to not be able to recognize him immediately.
”Madam, Yang Cheng's incompetence has frightened you.”
”Oh, it's Yang Cheng. Are you hurt?”
”No, ma'am. ”I'm fine, those bandits can't do anything to me, it's all their blood.”
”That's great.”
Seeing that Yang Cheng was not injured, Lady Yang's mood slightly improved. Today, these three father and son showed great bravery, almost to the point of fighting one against ten, showing off their might. Perhaps in the future, when the bandits around here talk about the Yang family, they would have nightmares.
”Even though you weren't injured, you were exhausted today. How about this, I will let you two rest for three days, then go back and look for that old thing Yang Lei.
”Ah …” ”Yes, ma'am.”
The sky gradually darkened, and it was time for the villagers to eat dinner. On the trail of the mountain village, the Yangcheng couple slowly walked forward. Accepting the mission given by the Madam made the couple extremely worried. That Yang Lei did not give them any face at all, and in the worst case, he might even threw them out.
”Let's go. No matter what, we have to go.” Even if he came to help Yang Mansion today, he wouldn't be too embarrassed for us. ”
”Sigh …”
Yang Cheng let out a long sigh, but didn't say anything. It was not easy to be a matchmaker like this. On one hand was his boss, and on the other was his senior brother. Standing in front of Yang Lei's house, Yang Cheng's heart felt even more apprehensive.
”Leucide and sister-in-law are at home.”
”Nonsense, aren't we all home for dinner?”
”Hur hur, hur hur hur.”
Yang Cheng laughed awkwardly, but Yang Lin, Yang Hu and Yang Bao still stood up and welcomed the couple into the room. The two of them sat down and exchanged greetings. Then, they started talking about Yang Lin's marriage.
”Leucide, what did you think of the thing I told you last time?”
”What did you tell me?”
”It's the marriage between Miss and Yang Lin.”
”Oh, you came at the right time.”
Yang Cheng didn't expect Yang Lei's attitude to suddenly take a 180 degree turn. Not only did Yang Lei not lose his temper, he even put down the bowl of rice in his hands and sat beside Yang Cheng. He smiled at Yang Cheng, making Yang Cheng's hair stand on end.
”Brother Yang Cheng, there's something I need your help with.”
Oh, Leucide, why are you still being polite with me?
”My Yang Lin has taken a fancy to the young miss of the Yang Mansion. I'll trouble you to be the matchmaker and have the young mistress marry her to my Yang Lin. ”As long as Madame agrees, we will immediately perform the ceremony.”
”Ah, are you joking with me? Madam only has one daughter, how can she marry?”
”I am not joking. My Yang Lin is talented, has outstanding martial arts skills, has a majestic body, is he not worthy of being young miss? If the Madam despises my family as poor, we will pay any number of gifts she wants, and guarantee that the Lady will not be poor for the rest of her life. ”
”This …”
”What do you mean, you're not even giving face to this old bro?”
”Alright then, I'll tell you about it.”
Walking out of Yang Lei's house, Yang Cheng had a bitter smile on his face. This time, Yang Lei was rather polite, to the point of fawning on him. However, Yang Lei's politeness made him even more uncomfortable than when he rejected her. How would he explain himself to the Madam when he returned?
The Yang Cheng couple thought for an entire night and decided to speak the truth in the end, lest the couple fall into disconnection in the future. Early morning of the next day, the couple rushed to Yang Mansion and told Madam Yang Lei's news that they were unsettled.
”This old thing really knows how to make things difficult for people.”
To their surprise, the Madam didn't get angry, but only smiled faintly. She knew that Yang Lei was purposely making things difficult for her, but she was very relieved in her heart. If Yang Lei really went ahead and brought Yang Lin to her doorstep, she was afraid that he had ulterior motives.
”When the two of you go back and tell that old thing that within three days, if he takes out the one million, I'll marry him off to Yang Lin. If he doesn't, I will gift him a million silver as a gift and let Yang Lin become his home son-in-law. ”
Yang Lin and finally revealed a smile. A large family like the Yang Mansion asking for a betrothal gift of one million was not too bad. Even if word spread out, they would not be afraid to be ridiculed. With their understanding of Yang Lei, if the two of them were to take out ten thousand, Yang Lei would probably need to raise it for a month. Now, wouldn't Yang Lin have to obediently come to their doorsteps?
