A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 137 The Hunter is Captured

The young man, supporting the child, ran even faster. The leader waved his hand, and the men separated. Soon they had surrounded the young man and the child.

The in-charge ordered the young man to be captured, and a fight ensued. The young man, a regular hunter with some martial arts experience, wasn't afraid of them. It was his lack of fear that got him injured, and he was soon struck on the back with a stick, causing him to spit blood. Seeing his benefactor injured, the child rushed forward and hugged the man holding the stick.

"Little brother, run quickly, they are not human, run quickly."

The young man was slashed several times, and the child was beaten unconscious by the men with sticks. The young man realized that if he didn't run, he would bleed to death. He took out the big knife from his back and chopped one of them down, and they ran away.

The manager sent people in pursuit, but after a while, the young man disappeared and could no longer be caught. Reluctantly, they took the child back to the mine. The child lived for two days before dying and being hastily buried.

The young man was a local hunter who often hunted in the mountains. He saw a child lying in the grass with wounds all over his body. He helped the child up and wanted to take him down the mountain to heal his wounds. On the way, the child told his brother everything and asked him to spread the word so that someone could come and rescue the miners.

The young man wanted to save the child from the steward, but he was outnumbered and was seriously injured.

He struggled back home and passed out.

The steward reported the incident to the prefect, who ordered him to search several surrounding villages. They finally found the young man lying in bed recovering from his injuries in a house. They captured him and took him to the mines, where he was forced to work with the other men.

The young man, eager to escape, obeyed the steward, who then released him. He often boiled water for the steward and washed his feet. Seeing his intelligence, the steward took him down the mountain to fetch food and had him cook for the men.

The steward was worried about him at first and often watched him from the side to prevent him from running away and ruining the prefect's business.

The young man had been in the mountains for two months. He knew his brother, who was training in martial arts, would be returning home the following month for a visit. Taking advantage of a trip down the mountain to transport grain, he secretly tried to run home and see his brother. He had barely run half a mile when the stewards and his men caught up with him and surrounded him. The young man fought fiercely, but was eventually forced to the edge of a cliff.

The steward slapped the young man, and he fell off the cliff. There was water below, and he landed in the water with a splash, passing out. The current swept him far away, and he drifted downstream.

The steward saw him fall off the cliff, which was so deep that he could not see the bottom. He fell to his death. He led the others to transport grain.

The young man drifted to the shore and was awakened by the sound of birds. He slowly got up, found a stick to support himself, and stumbled back home. He simply found a piece of cloth and bandaged the wound. He didn't dare stay at home, so he wiped away the bloodstains and left the village, hiding in a thatched hut behind the village.

Here he can see pedestrians on the way back to the village, and if his brother comes back he can see him first.

He stayed in the thatched hut for two days. When the food he had brought ran out, he ate leaves from a nearby tree. His wounds became inflamed, and he developed a fever. He drank cold water to cool down, and for several days he was in a daze. His fever had clouded his brain.

Finally, he heard his brother talking to the villagers. His brother had returned. He crawled back home to tell his brother the truth. As he crawled, he whispered, "Brother!" His fever had made his throat hoarse. Unable to utter a single word, he struggled to crawl home and fainted the moment he entered.

The elder brother was shocked by his brother's miserable state. He carried his brother on his back and went to the town clinic to see a doctor. The doctor looked at his brother and shook his head. "Your brother is dying. Prepare for the afterlife." The elder brother was shocked and said, "Doctor, please save my brother's life. Please, I just came home and my brother is like this. He was looking forward to my return." The elder brother burst into tears.

The doctor prescribed some medicine for the younger brother and fed it to him. His wounds festered. The doctor brought down his fever, and the younger brother slowly regained consciousness. He told his brother how he had saved the man and how he had gone to the mountains to dig for gold for the prefect. The older brother was furious.

After the young man finished speaking, he died.

The elder brother buried his younger brother in front of his parents' grave with great sorrow, and then went to assassinate the prefect at night.

He didn't expect that the prefect had so many guards, and the hungry tiger couldn't beat the wolves, so he was arrested and put in jail.

The prefect told him everything he had done, and it was impossible for him not to tell it.

Zhou Jingze sent his secret guards to take them to the prison. He also took control of the entire prefectural government. Zhou Jingze wrote a letter to his father and sent his secret guards to the imperial city to deliver it as quickly as possible.

The master's wife praised Qiqi's truth pills for their effectiveness. She didn't have to worry about how to interrogate the magistrate, nor did she have to torture him, which saved a lot of time. She also asked Qiqi for a few truth pills for future use.

Qiqi and Zhou Jingze went to the cell where the men in black were being held. There were several young men in the cell. Qiqi learned that they were here to do business and were arrested and brought to the government office for no reason. They had just been arrested yesterday.

Zhou Jingze said, "They may be planning to send these young people to mine." Qiqi nodded.

Qiqi saw the man in black lying unconscious on the ground, with a lot of blood on his arm, but it had stopped flowing. Qiqi stuffed a pill into his mouth, and soon the man in black woke up.

He saw that it was Qiqi and the others who saved him, so he knelt down to thank them and tearfully pleaded with them to avenge his brother. He said his brother's death was too unjust. Zhou Jingze agreed to the black-clad man and asked the secret guards to comfort these people and find a place for them to rest.

They asked the secret guards to guard the government office and returned to Fuxiangju to rest.

Qiqi woke up at daybreak and saw Zhou Jingze reading a letter by the window. "Brother Jingze, you didn't sleep all night!"

"Qiqi, you're awake. I slept for a while and just got up. Come, let me help you get dressed. We can go downstairs to eat."

Zhou Jingze took Qiqi's hand and went downstairs. The shopkeeper had already prepared breakfast in the private room. There were steamed dumplings, lean meat porridge, and delicious pickles. The master and his wife also came to the private room.

"Qiqi, you get up so early, why don't you sleep a little longer? You are pregnant, and more sleep is good for the baby." said the master's wife.

"Master's wife, good morning. Come and try this porridge, it's delicious." Qiqi changed the subject.

"Master, Qiqi, today I plan to go to the mountains to check out the gold mines. I want to see how much gold there is so I can start mining. I've already informed my father and asked him to send the most recent minister to take charge."
