Ever since he came to Great Kang, Qin Feng's goal had always been to be a wealthy and idle person. He had never thought of killing anyone.
Unfortunately, the tree wanted to be calm, but the wind did not stop. Not only had he killed someone, but he had also killed a bandit.
Whether it was for the sake of loyalty or to intimidate them, once the bandits knew that he had killed their people, they would definitely not let it go.
He was still too weak and did not have the qualifications to fight against the bandits.
"Brother Liang, should we report this to the authorities?"
Qin Feng's heart was a little chaotic.
In his previous life, he had lived under the red flag. The world was peaceful. Not to mention bandits, even the village bullies and hooligans were subdued. Other than going to school, he was only worried about earning money from part-time jobs. He had no experience in dealing with such matters.
The first thing he thought of when he encountered such a situation was to report it to the authorities.
"It's no use,"
Zhang Liang shook his head." The nests that the bandits choose are easy to defend and difficult to attack. They also have a way out. Without ten times the number of troops, it's difficult to destroy them."
Since a few years ago, the number of soldiers on the battlefield has been insufficient. The few people left in the county government can't surround Cat Mountain at all."
"Sigh…"
Qin Feng sighed helplessly.
"You don't have to worry too much. Bandits rarely go to the territory of other mountains. The Cat Mountain bandits are usually active in the north of the county government and rarely come to our side.
I observed him just now. Other than me, no one should recognize him as a bandit. Everyone thinks that Bald Man is a local ruffian who hangs out with Xie Guang. As long as we don't tell anyone, it'll be very difficult for Cat Mountain to know about this."
"I'm here to let you know so that you can have some confidence," said Zhang Liang.
"Thank you, Brother Liang."
Hearing this, Qin Feng heaved a sigh of relief.
The traffic in Dakang was very congested. Many people spent their entire lives in the vicinity of the village. They could boast about it for several years just by going to the county government.
The Cat Mountain bandits 'territory was not here, so the probability of them finding him was very low.
"You said that we're family. You're treating me like an outsider by saying thank you."
Zhang Liang continued," By the way, when I was in the army, I knew a brother who opened a wine shop near Cat Mountain. He knew a few bandits from Cat Mountain. I'll go there tomorrow and ask him to help keep an eye out. If there's any abnormal movement at Cat Mountain, tell him to inform me as soon as possible."
"Is this person reliable?" Qin Feng asked.
If it was an unreliable person, doing so would instead increase the risk of exposure.
"Life and death brothers."
"And he hates the bandits of Cat Mountain. Those bastards go to his place every month to exploit him," said Zhang Liang.
Qin Feng was finally relieved.
For the first time, he felt a sense of urgency, and he hated himself for not being strong enough.
If he was strong enough, what was there to fear from a group of bandits?
"I have to develop as soon as possible. Only then will I have the strength to protect myself!"
Qin Feng silently made a decision in his heart.
Cuckoo!
Third Aunt's rooster started to crow.
"By the way, what did you say you wanted the carpenter to do?"
" Give it to me," said Zhang Liang." I'll go back and tell them. Then I'll leave directly."
"Brother Liang, it's still early. Isn't it too early to rush?"
" Cat Mountain is north of the county government. If we hurry, we might be able to come back today."
"Alright, be careful on the road."
Qin Feng went to the shop and wrapped up the spinning wheel parts that he had already made. He took out a piece of silver and handed it over." Just ask the carpenter to make one of each. If it's done well, I'll look for him."
"Alright."
Zhang Liang took the package and the silver and left.
The courtyard had already been cleaned up.
After all, Little E was still a child. She cried for a while and fell asleep again.
Guan Hanyan, Tang Dongdong, and Runniang sat around the small table. No one spoke.
When they saw Qin Feng return, they all stood up.
They were all frightened tonight and wanted to get close to the only man in the family from the bottom of their hearts.
"Ah, boss, your hand is bleeding again."
Guan Hanyan saw that Qin Feng's left hand was bleeding again and quickly went to look for the herbs left behind by Old Tan.
"There's no need to look for herbs for now. Dongdong, bring the needle and thread over."
" Hanyan, help me untie the gauze," said Qin Feng." Runniang, go boil some water."
The three girls were also frightened tonight. It was good to find something for them to do and divert their attention.
"Alright."
Runniang didn't know what to do, so she quickly ran to the kitchen after receiving the order.
Tang Dongdong quickly went to look for a needle and thread.
"What do you need needlework for?"
Guan Hanyan asked as she removed the gauze.
"Stitch the wound."
Qin Feng said.
The bald man's hatchet was very sharp. The wound on his left hand, from the thumb to the pinkie, had turned over. If it was not stitched up, it would be difficult to heal.
They were in a hurry just now, so they only asked Old Tan to apply some herbs to stop the bleeding and then casually wrapped it with gauze.
It would be strange if he didn't bleed.
"The wound isn't a shirt. How do you suture it?"
Guan Hanyan's hands trembled in fear.
"You're right. Just sew it up like how you sew clothes."
"How can that be?"
"If I say it's okay, then it's okay."
Qin Feng couldn't explain modern medicine to Guan Hanyan, so he could only say rudely," Listen to me on this matter."
This move was most useful for Guan Hanyan.
As long as Qin Feng pretended to lose his temper, she would immediately be obedient.
According to Qin Feng's request, he first boiled the needle and thread in boiling water, then bent the sewing needle. Finally, like sewing clothes, he cried and began to stitch up the wound.
There was no anesthetic these days, so Qin Feng was in so much pain that he broke out in a sweat.
After all, she was a newbie. By the time Guan Hanyan finished treating her wound, the sky was already bright.
There were a lot of things to do today, so Qin Feng rested for a while and asked Guan Hanyan to call Zhang Mancang over.
He was going to build a few more huts in the courtyard, which required a lot of wood.
There was a lot of wood at the back of the mountain, but Qin Feng's hand was injured, so he could only ask Zhang Mancang for help.
Other than cutting down trees to build a shed, Qin Feng also hoped to go to the back of the mountain to find some sturdy and resilient trees and make a few sets of bows in case of emergency.
What happened last night was a wake-up call for him.
Qin Feng was never someone who would sit and wait for death.
Although Zhang Liang said that the possibility of the Cat Mountain bandits discovering him was very small, Qin Feng didn't dare to take any chances.
Because the price was too high.
If he really couldn't hide it anymore, he didn't want to lose the ability to fight back.
Zhang Mancang had been chopping firewood for so many years and knew the trees in the back mountain like the back of his hand. He was the most suitable person to ask for help.
However, before the two of them could go out, Third Aunt came with a man.
"Qin Feng, didn't you say that you were going to build a shed today? I'll call your third uncle over to help you."
Third Aunt said with a smile.
"That's good. I was just worried that Mancang and I couldn't lift the tree. It's best to have Third Uncle's help."
"Thank you, Third Uncle," Qin Feng agreed with a smile.
Although Third Aunt had a conflict with him a few days ago, they had already reconciled. Since she wanted to help, there was no need to push her away.
"Of course, of course."
"When your spinning wheel is done, remember to give your Third Aunt a bowl of rice to eat," said Third Uncle with a silly smile.
