While on the other hand, Zhang Jiangwu initially hesitated to make a decision, but not anymore.
To be honest, this was the first time he felt indecisive in the face of something, he had never experienced anything like this before. Because all this time, he just needed to do what he wanted. Not indecisive, not afraid, or even worried. However, what happened to him now? Did that mean she managed to impress him a bit? He didn't know.
Zhang Jiangwu took a deep breath.
In another room, Grandma Chiyo had cleaned the wound on the foreign man's body and now she began to sew up some of the slashing wounds that tore some of the flesh on his body.
From the beginning until now, Grandma Chiyo never asked the men anything, the old woman just did everything the village chief wanted. Grandma Chiyo is the only resident who is allowed to live in the village without paying taxes, but in return, she has to pay for all the goodness of the village chief with her medical abilities.
Until now, no one knows the true identity of Grandma Chiyo. Several years ago, when the village chief returned after a long trip to the Silver kingdom, he accidentally met Grandma Chiyo around the kingdom's borders, seriously injured. At that time he decided to help her and brought her back to the village and took care of her. The village chief never expected that the old woman he was helping had such medical abilities.
If something like that happened in the Royal Capital, maybe by that time Grandma Chiyo would have died without help. People in the Royal Capital would either ignore its existence or never even assume it existed. An old woman? She can't be used in any way at all, so what's the point of helping her? Everyone moves in their self-interest without any concern for others, including women.
However, it was different with the villagers of Xin Jhiang. The customs and culture of the people are not as thick as in the royal capital. Perhaps it was because it was so far from the Royal Capital and at the edge of the Qin Empire, or was it because the people who inhabited Xin Jhiang Village were mostly non-natives of the Qin Empire? Those two things might be the right reasons.
Regardless, the cruelty that was commonly seen in the Royal Capital was nowhere to be found in Xin Jhiang Village.
Xin Jhiang village is a small village that has residents from various regions, some of them are from the Royal Capital, around the Royal Capital, and some are from other kingdoms who intend to seek a better life in the Qin kingdom. They are all people who are not tied to any family, freed slaves, poor people who are unable to continue living in the royal capital, and several others whose reasons are unknown.
People who had many differences gathered in Xin Jhiang Village. The village chief never refused anyone who wanted to settle in his territory. As long as that person can follow the rules and pay taxes, then the village chief will gladly accept it.
The village chief and the residents also know better how to respect and respect other people, women and men almost get the same treatment in that place. Even though the population is very small, Xin Jhiang Village is not lacking in anything, it is also very calm and peaceful, yes before the attack by a group of foreigners a few days ago.
Although they come from different regions, there is one thing that they have in common. They want to live in peace in Xin Jhiang Village. With just that in common, they don't need anything else anymore.
And because of that, the villagers of Xin Jhiang never questioned Grandma Chiyo's true identity. All they knew was that the woman was very old and no longer had anyone in this world.
Even the village chief never asked about the wounds on Grandma Chiyo's body, where, what was the cause and how did she get the wounds on her body. After treating her wound at that time, the village chief let her go. And when Grandma Chiyo decided to stay in Xin Jhiang Village, the man didn't mind at all.
Knock... knock... knock...
A knock on the door managed to make everyone turn to the source of the sound, and in the next second Feng Ming, Xue Yan, and Wang Xiumin appeared from behind the door.
"Oh, you guys have come," said Hao Chu first.
"How?" he asked again.
"As you can see, Yue Ahn and I are doing well. He is resting in the next room," Feng Ming replied as he walked closer to the bed.
Hao Chu sighed harshly, that wasn't the point of his question, "Where is that girl?" he asked.
Feng Ming shook his head slowly.
Seeing the man's response, Hao Chu understood.
"We didn't find any clues about her whereabouts. I wonder, is he a human or a ghost? Her body is injured, how can she move so fast and can't be found anywhere?" Feng Ming said his thoughts.
"Forget about it. We want to ask something of you," Wang Xiumin chimed in on the man's words. He then walked toward the village chief.
"Do you have paper and ink?" he added.
"Sure, of course. Wait a moment, I will get it for you, sir," replied the village chief and immediately left the room.
"How is the condition?" Xue Yen approached Grandma Chiyo.
"I've dealt with the wounds on his body, he lost a lot of blood. But after drinking the blood-enhancing potion and some other potions, he should be fine," Grandma Chiyo replied.
"Do you know when he will wake up?" Xue Yen asked again.
"If he drinks my potion regularly, he might wake up tomorrow or the day after, sir."
"Hmm, fine. Then do your best so that he recovers soon," Xue Yen said.
"Alright, sir. Don't worry about this," said Grandma Chiyo, the old woman returned to resume her delayed work.
"What do you want to do with paper and ink?" asked Hao Chu after a few minutes of silence.
"That's not for me. I asked it for Yue Ahn, with the ability he has, finding that woman's whereabouts will be very easy."
Hearing that, Hao Chu nodded. " So the only thing we can do now is investigating the mastermind behind the attack that night," he said.
Feng Ming, Wang Xiumin, and Xue Yen glanced at each other then nodded.
"He is the only clue left, take good care of him, Grandma Chiyo," Hao Chu said to the old woman before him.
