Chapter 171: Same Idea

Xu Xiang looked at those people and found out that there were only old people and injured men in the group. She frowned slightly, and then looked at their tattered clothes and injuries.

After a while, she said, "Their injuries were caused by sharp weapons."

A Lu Da nodded after hearing what she said, and said, "You are right. That’s why we didn’t let them enter our village. My second younger brother said that most of their injuries were caused by swords and machetes. But... How could these people be injured by swords? I wonder who they really are."

Xu Xiang thought for a while and said, "I have a guess. But to be sure, I have to gather some information from them first."

After finishing speaking, she walked towards A Lu Zhi who was talking to an old man in his eighties. Hearing her footsteps, A Lu Zhi turned around and saw her coming.

He smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn’t come."

Hearing what he said, Xu Xiang smiled slightly and said, "You even asked your eldest brother to personally find me. How can I not come?"

Seeing her standing there talking to A Lu Zhi, the old man opened his chapped lips and asked, "Young Lady, can you let me meet your village chief?"

Xu Xiang turned to look at the old man and said, "Grandfather, you can just talk to us."

The old man looked at her for a few seconds, and said hesitantly: "We come from Yu Village near Huan Bei City. Could you let us live in your village for a while? We have many wounded who need rest before continuing our journey."

Xu Xiang smiled at the old man, "We can let you live in our village for a while, but we don’t have much surplus food."

When the old man heard that they could stay in this village for a while, he quickly said, "As long as we can stay in your village for a while, we can find food and water for ourselves."

After hearing what the old man said, Xu Xiang looked at the group of injured people standing behind him, and knew that their condition was not good at first glance. She thought for a while, looked at A Lu Zhi and asked, "How about letting them stay for a few days?"

A Lu Zhi glanced at the old man, then looked at her and said, "It’s not a problem to let them stay for a few days."

Standing there, the old man listened to their conversation in silence. Hearing A Lu Zhi’s words, his anxious heart finally calmed down.

Xu Xiang looked at the old man and said, "Grandfather, we still have a few vacant houses. All of you can stay there for a few days."

She looked at the wounded and old people again, and said, "I will ask our physicians to take a look at the wounded and see if they can help."

The old man smiled brightly, nodded quickly, and said, "Thank you very much, Young Lady."

Hearing what the old man said, Xu Xiang smiled slightly at him, then turned to look at A Lu Da and said, "A Lu Da, can you show them the vacant houses? Also, help me ask the physicians from the Yishi tribe to take a look at the wounded."

A Lu Da came out from behind the crowd and said, "All right. You can leave this matter to me."

Then he looked at the old man and the others, and said, "Please follow me, everyone."

The old man looked at Xu Xiang and A Lu Zhi, and said, "Thank you for allowing us to live in your village for a few days."

A Lu Zhi smiled at the old man, but Xu Xiang just nodded at him. After A Lu Da led the old man and others away, A Lu Zhi looked at her and asked, "Why did you let them stay?"

Looking at their backs as they walked away, Xu Xiang said, "I want to find out who injured them."

A Lu Zhi chuckled and said, "It seems that you have the same idea as me."

She raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at him and said, "Tell me what you think."

He folded his arms and said, "Judging from the blood on their tattered clothes and the fresh wounds on their bodies, I think they were suddenly attacked. The time interval between when they arrived in our village and when they were attacked should not be too long. Therefore, if the attackers are still hunting them down, then sooner or later, these people will come to our village."

Listening to his explanation, the corners of Xu Xiang’s lips rose slightly. Seeing her smile faintly, A Lu Zhi asked, "What about you? What is your guess?"

She turned to look at him and said, "They were either attacked by bandits or soldiers. But looking at their wounds and their anxious reactions just now, they are more likely to be attacked by bandits. Also, bandits always kill men and old people, then take women and children captive. Did you see any women or children among them? I guess they survived not because they were lucky, but because the bandits wanted to use them to find their next target. And the next target is more likely to be our village."

A Lu Zhi thought for a moment, and said, "If that is the case, then we have to make preparations before those bandits come."

Xu Xiang nodded at him and said, "Mhm. You should discuss this matter with the others. The sooner we prepare, the better."

He looked at her and said, "All right. I’m going to discuss it with my father and the elders right away."

"Mhm. Then I will go and check the seedlings in the farmlands first." She said as she walked back to the farmland area.

A Lu Zhi then looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, please go back and do your own work."
