Chapter 333: Encountering Unfairness on the Road 2
While shouting, the man tried to pull the three scholars who were being beaten behind him.
Beside him, two male servants in coarse shorts were staring at the robbers with nervous faces, fearing that if they were unhappy, the sticks would fall on the shouting young scholar.
Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou looked at each other and said, "My cousin and I will go to rescue people. You guys drive the car by yourself and keep your distance so as not to get affected."
Bai Jingzhou and his friends are all scholars waiting for exams. If any of them gets injured, it will be a huge delay.
After explaining the division of labor, Gu Wenxuan and Fang Youfu and the others rushed over with their weapons.
The few people did not go out empty-handed, they carried sticks, knives, bows and arrows with them.
Another group of people who had arrived here just as they were and were planning to help, just as they trotted to a place where their vision was unobstructed, they saw Gu Wenxuan and the others, who were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, and their movements immediately slowed down.
Bai Jingzhou had taken over Fang Youfu's position and was sitting on the shaft, controlling the first carriage in their team. Seeing them rushing forward with bare hands, he waved his hand to stop them, "Everyone, swords and sticks have no eyes, please don't come forward."
The two leaders looked at each other, somewhat hesitantly.
Bai Jingzhou simply said frankly, "You have never fought with others, right? Then don't force yourself to rush up. My wife and my cousin are very powerful. If you don't believe me, you can observe for a while."
In fact, without Bai Jingzhou's explanation, they had already seen how powerful those guys were. After all, the twenty or so people standing on the periphery had all been knocked down by them.
The two men felt that they did not stay here for too long. It was just the time it took Bai Jingzhou to say a few words, and it was only about thirty breaths at most.
Within thirty breaths, those people had knocked down more than twenty people on the periphery, and now they were attacking the bad guys who were beating the three scholars.
Looking at it this way, it seems like there's really no need for them to go?
The two stood there and witnessed with their own eyes the heroic figures of Gu Wenxuan and his men as they defeated all the bad guys.
Seeing that the battle was completely over, Bai Jingzhou called on other people in the team to take ropes and help.
The rescued scholar came over to thank them. Gu Wenxuan just nodded to them and went back to work. Bai Jingzhou, together with the two scholars who also wanted to save people, greeted the four scholars and exchanged names.
By the time Gu Wenxuan and his men had tied up the thirty or so ruffians, two more scholars came over from behind Bai Jingzhou and his companions' carriage.
They arrived here only slightly later than the two scholars who tried to rescue people, but they did not bring people here immediately like the two scholars. Instead, they waited until the situation here calmed down and the scholars gained the upper hand. Only then did they get off the carriage and come over to chat with Bai Jingzhou and others.
It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. Bai Jingzhou would not be prejudiced against them just because they did not rush over to save people, especially since they were weak scholars who were powerless. But it is undeniable that compared to them, Bai Jingzhou would appreciate the two scholars who tried to save people before more.
Perhaps they came here with their servants with full confidence to help because of Bai Jingzhou's large and powerful team. If it weren't for Bai Jingzhou and his team, they and their servants would have chosen to seek benefits and avoid harm. But even so, Bai Jingzhou still felt that they were more worthy of making friends than the two who arrived late.
When they greeted each other before, Bai Jingzhou had already learned that the two scholars who rescued people with them, the one with handsome appearance, tall figure, graceful demeanor, clear eyes and gentle personality was named Su Yunzhan, and the one with thin figure, pale face and obviously sick was named Hua Zhihe.
Su Yunzhan was born in Lincheng County, next to Qingshan County. Judging from his appearance, behavior, clothing, carriage and servants, we can tell that he came from a wealthy family and led a smooth life.
Hua Zhihe doesn't talk much, but because of his gentle and polite attitude, other people don't think he is rude or arrogant.
He was dressed simply, and was only accompanied by a young servant. He even borrowed Su Yunzhan's carriage, which showed that his family was of ordinary means.
Bai Jingzhou had a good impression of both of them. As for the four scholars they rescued, the three who were obviously from poor families seemed a little reserved when facing them, but Bai Jingzhou observed them carefully and had a good initial impression of them.
There is also Tao Chang, the stupid son of the landlord, who had been screaming and telling the bad guys that he would rather live than money. From the fact that he had been trying to protect the other three, Bai Jingzhou could tell that he had a good character.
After exchanging brief greetings with the eight people, he offered to treat the three injured scholars.
The three injured scholars had no idea that Bai Jingzhou was learning medical skills while studying for the imperial examinations.
At first they nodded in agreement because it was difficult to resist such a kind gesture. They believed that Bai Jingzhou would definitely not harm them, and even if he couldn't cure them, he would definitely not make them worse, so they agreed out of courtesy.
But after Bai Jingzhou took out his medicine box that was like a treasure chest, the three scholars immediately gained confidence in his medical skills.
And Bai Jingzhou did not let them make a wrong judgment. He skillfully examined their bodies, gave them acupuncture and prescribed medicines, and reminded them of the follow-up precautions. It was obvious that he was a very capable doctor.
The three of them put away the prescription properly, thanked him, and took out money to pay for the consultation, but Bai Jingzhou did not take their money.
Not only did he not charge them any money, he also offered to vacate a carriage for them, "You are all injured, and it is not good for you to walk on your own two legs. If you don't mind, why don't you come with us for a while."
Tao Chang, who had been watching Bai Jingzhou treating the three people with sparkling eyes, immediately raised his hand when he heard him say this, "That's right, that's right, why don't you all take my carriage together!"
Among the three injured people, one was from the same hometown as him. The two of them were originally sitting in the same carriage. Tao Chang now grabbed this man's sleeve, urging him to help him persuade the two people who were originally traveling on foot.
Tao Chang's family was well-off. Under normal circumstances, those two people would not have interacted with him much. However, his righteous act of trying to protect them just now made those two people unable to say no.
They saluted Tao Chang in a proper manner and said, "We are sorry to bother you. Thank you for your help."
Tao Chang smiled brightly and waved his hands vigorously, "It's too polite to say that you are bothering me. We are friends who have been through thick and thin together!"
The two men looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
The landlord's silly son may not understand the ways of the world, but his innocent heart makes people happy to make friends with him. Not to mention how much help they can get, at least they don't have to worry that he will look down on them, use them, or even stab them in the back.
