Chapter 605 - Wu Jiang

Hundreds of people suddenly surrounded the Baicaotang. The shopkeeper in the medical hall was so scared that he ran out in a hurry. When he saw Hu Feng’s, he immediately recognized him. He and a little girl came to the shop before.

“This, young man, are you going to buy medicine?”

Hu Feng said: “I heard that the two captured villagers who had escaped came back and are being treated here. Is that true?”

The shopkeeper busily nodded his head: “They are here, they are being treated, shall I call them for you?”

Hu Feng waved his hand, “No, I’ll go by myself.”

Everyone waited outside, only Hu Feng and Zhou Gang went in.

Doctor Song was giving a man medicine. The man’s leg was badly injured, and it seems that it was bitten by a fierce beast.

Hu Feng recognized the man, it was Wu Jiang in Huangtuo Village.

The other one was Wu Jiang’s wife. They originally had a child, but he didn’t saw the child. He’s afraid that it has been killed.

When Wu Jiang saw Hu Feng, Wu Jiang became excited: “Hu Feng, are you Hu Feng?”

Hu Feng nodded his head: “I am, where is my father? Where is Bai Zhi?” He asked.

Wu Jiang busily replied: “After we killed all those heartless beast, we fled to return to the village, but we got lost in the forest. We walked several days before we got off there. At that time, we didn’t know where we are. We didn’t know if it was the Chu or Xiye Country. Bai Zhi suggested that we should go separately. A large group of people can easily attract attention or being targeted.”

“So you left separately?” He raised an eyebrow.

Wu Jiang nodded his head: “We went in different directions. We were originally lucky. We walked into a city in just one day, but who knows, that there are so many vicious dogs in that city. We were bitten by the dogs as soon as we entered the city. My son was, was—” He choked up and couldn’t talk anymore. His son was bitten to death by the dogs in front of his eyes. He was so hungry and had no strength, so he couldn’t beat those vicious dogs at all. When the passerby saw them pitiful, they helped and saved them. Some people reported to the officials. The government immediately sent some people to send them back to Qingyuan after learning about their affairs.

When they arrived in Qingyuan, they learned that none of the people who had been captured had returned except for them, husband and wife.

“So you don’t know where Bai Zhi and my father are right now?” Hu Feng asked.

Wu Jiang shook his head: “I don’t know. I didn’t even know that I was bitten by a dog at that time. I was unconscious when I was sent back.”

Zhou Gang asked: “How are the others? My son, Xiaofeng and Ru’er, are they alright?”

Wu Jiang replied: “They are all good. Its all thanks to Bai Zhi. If it weren’t for her, I’m afraid that we have died in the hands of those villains.”

Hu Feng nodded his head and patted Wu Jiang on the shoulder: “You have taken good care of yourself.” Then he glanced at Zhou Gang.

Zhou Gang understood his meaning and he quickly took out two ingots of silver from his body and stuffed them into Wu Jiang’s hands: “Take these and buy some clothes and food. Let’s get through this winter first.”

Wu Jiang thanked them again and again. He was very miserable. His original good day was destroyed by this predicament.

He hated heaven for not having eyes. He hated God for not showing his mercy.

After leaving the Baicaotang, Zhou Gang asked Hu Feng, “Your Highness, what should we do now?”

Hu Feng sighed from the bottom of his heart and remained silent for a while, then said: “Let’s return to the camp first, leave some of our brothers to stay in Qingyuan Town and Huangtuo Village. Tell them to go to the camp as soon as possible, if there is news.”
