This road was extremely quiet, seldom used by people. This was why it took more than ten minutes before anyone noticed the criminals had fled.
During this time, there was no smartphone or pager, they had no way to contact the outside world. They were severely injured and could only sit by the road at the mercy of death.
At this moment, a person finally came by. Though it was just a little girl, she filled the two with hope.
How wonderful!
They were saved!
They were finally saved!
Ni Yang ran over, "Uncles, what happened to you two?"
The slightly older man replied, "Little girl, it's not safe here! Quickly go and call for help!"
The criminals might have fled, but they could return at any moment.
However, Ni Yang remained calm despite the increasingly dangerous situation. With a serene expression, she took the two men's wrists in her hands, "Uncles, your wounds are severe. If I run back now to call for help, it may be too late for you."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was taken aback, "Yo-young comrade, do-do you possess medical skills?"
It was inconceivable that such a young girl would have such knowledge!
They were destined not to die!
Ni Yang nodded, "Uncle, please preserve your strength by remaining silent."
In her previous life, she was in the catering industry, where medical skills were indispensable.
Among the two men, one was more seriously injured than the other.
Ni Yang chose to treat the more severely injured first.
The most important thing for knife wounds was to stop bleeding and stitch up the wound.
Because she had come prepared, Ni Yang had brought two sewing needles and some herbal medicine for hemostasis and analgesia from her home.
Given the limited conditions, she could only make do with the sewing needles.
She took out a sewing needle, and then said, "I am going to stitch your wound now, it might hurt a bit, so bear with it."
"Okay", the man responded with a nod.
Ni Yang calmly stitched the man's wounds, her face showing a level of calm that was devoid of any extraneous expression, as if she was merely sewing clothing.
After stitching the wound, Ni Yang applied the hemostasis herbal medicine to it.
The man sucked in a cold breath due to the pain, but the wound indeed stopped bleeding.
After treating this man, Ni Yang then cared for the middle-aged man.
About ten minutes later, Ni Yang wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Uncles, your lives are no longer in danger."
After receiving treatment, their physical condition improved considerably.
The middle-aged man expressed his gratitude, "Comrade, you are truly remarkable! Could I trouble you for one more thing?"
"Go ahead." Ni Yang responded.
The middle-aged man then said, "My surname is Zhou, my name is Zhou Changzheng. I came from the township. Could you help me to make a trip to the township?"
At present, they could still not walk due to the severity of their wounds.
Ni Yang nodded, "No problem."
Zhou Changzheng pointed to the bicycle roadside, "Young comrade, you can ride my bicycle. Just go to the police station. After explaining the situation, they will come back with you."
"Okay, I will go now!" Ni Yang hopped on the bicycle and pedaled swiftly toward the township.
Ni Yang successfully arrived at the police station. The officer's face turned pallid when he heard the situation. He immediately dispatched officers and an ambulance, before accompanying Ni Yang back to the scene.
After examination, the doctor exclaimed in fear, "Mr. Zhou! Thank goodness that young lady treated you in time. If it was any later, your life could have been in danger!"
Zhou Changzheng asked, "How is Secretary Wu?"
The doctor soothe, "You don't need to worry. Secretary Wu is also fine."
"That's good," Zhou Changzheng sighed with relief, "We must thank that young comrade! Where is she now?"
The doctor said, "She's outside, I'll call her in..."
Ni Yang was summoned to the ambulance.
Zhou Changzheng asked, "Young comrade, what's your name?"
Ni Yang replied, "Uncle Zhou, my name is Ni Yang. I live in Dam Village..."
After hearing Ni Yang's words, Zhou Changzheng nodded. "Young comrade, don't worry. I will definitely ensure justice is served for you and give you your freedom!"
"Thank you!" Ni Yang bowed to Zhou Changzheng.

When Ni Yang returned to the Mu Family, there was a faint smile on her face.
"Yangyang is back," Ni Cuihua came out from inside.
"Mm-hmm." Ni Yang nodded, "Where are the others?"
Ni Cuihua looked at the gate of the yard, "They're not back yet."
Just as she was speaking, the old granny Mu helped Li Shu, who was being crutched by Mu Jinbao, into the house.
Li Shu was like a queen.
When granny Mu saw Ni Cuihua and her daughter, she began to swear at them, "You stand there like death itself. Don't you have work to do?"
Ni Cuihua nodded like she always did, "Yes, mom. Yangyang and I will get right to it!"
Granny Mu no longer bothered with Ni Cuihua, she took Li Shu to the living room and closed the door.
Once inside, granny Mu could not help but ask, "Ashu, what did your cousin say?"
Li Shu laughed and said, "My cousin of course agreed. He will be coming over to pick up Yangyang tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, granny Mu was taken aback.
"Tomorrow? So soon?"
Li Shu nodded.
Mu Jinbao chuckled, "Mom, are you not willing to let go of that useless girl?"
Reluctant?
How could that be possible?
What was there to be reluctant about a useless girl!
Granny Mu said, "We are during the busiest farming season at the moment. If that useless girl is gone, who will harvest our paddy?"
Despite Ni Yang's slight frame, she was agile and capable when it came to farm work!
If Ni Yang left, who would harvest their rice?
That was granny Mu's concern.
Was she supposed to go down to the field in her old age?
Mu Jinbao chimed in, "Mom, don't forget, we still have an old work ox in our house."
This old work ox was naturally Ni Cuihua.
Granny Mu countered, "How long it would take her to do it all by herself? By then, the rice is probably all eaten by sparrows!"
The ripe rice was most attractive to sparrows.
Upon saying that, granny Mu continued, "Ashu, can you discuss with your cousin if it's possible to take that useless girl away later?"
"That might not be possible," Li Shu said with some difficulty, "Moreover, my cousin has already given a deposit of fifty yuan!"
With that said, Li Shu took out fifty yuan and put it on the table.
Seeing the fifty yuan note, granny Mu's eyes sparkled. She quickly pocketed the money, "That's settled then! Let your cousin pick her up tomorrow!"
"Okay!" Li Shu was very pleased with herself.
After she said that, Li Shu asked, "Mom, how do we break the news of this to Yangyang?"
Granny Mu responded, "Leave that to me. That brat wouldn't dare to make any trouble!"
Li Shu nodded, "I'll leave it to you."
With the problematic Ni Yang finally out of the way, Li Shu was very pleased with herself. She quickly made an excuse and went to the village department to call Li Xianxian and give him good news, "Xianxian, I've taken care of the problem!"
