Xu Enda's home is near Chunxifang where Yan Liqiang encountered the scam that day. It is only about five or six hundred meters away from the place where the scam took place, and can be reached by walking through several winding alleys.
Under the guidance of those young men, Yan Liqiang arrived at the door of Xu Enda's house in no time.
It was a small courtyard, a little shabby, but not to the point where the walls and the house had collapsed. Standing at the door, you could see a patch of green grape leaves sticking out from the top of the courtyard wall.
The young man named Xiaowu knocked on the door. After a few seconds, a still childish voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
"Enci, it's me, let's go see Brother Xu..."
After hearing the answer from outside, the door of the courtyard opened. A little boy with red eyes, about eight or nine years old, stood behind the door, "Brother Xiaowu..."
"Yes!" The young man named Xiaowu nodded, walked inside, turned around and whispered to Yan Liqiang, "This is Brother Xu's younger brother. Brother Xu is the eldest in the family. He has two younger brothers and a younger sister. Enci is the youngest..."
"Besides these brothers and sisters, who else is there in Xu Enda's family?" Yan Liqiang asked.
"No, Brother Xu's parents went out to visit relatives a few years ago. On the way back, the axle of the carriage broke and overturned into a ravine. Both of them are gone. The family is now supported by Brother Xu alone. Over the years, Brother Xu has played the role of both an older brother and a parent in the family. It is not easy for him to raise three children by himself..." a young man next to him added in a low voice.
Yan Liqiang nodded and said nothing.
Xu Enda's home was indeed simple. Apart from the grape and a few old stone benches in the yard, there was almost nothing decent, just some miscellaneous items.
Xiaowu took Yan Liqiang towards the room facing the yard, but before entering the room, Yan Liqiang heard a voice coming from the room.
"Cousin, don't worry. I will definitely not let that bastard Guo Si off this time. I will find a few brothers from Ma Busi today and search the entire Imperial Capital to find that bastard Guo Si. I will first send him to the government, and then I will find someone to take care of him in prison..."
"Haihe... You have a lot of family issues to deal with, and your brother is gone... Your family is all dependent on you, so don't worry about this. When I get better, I will go through the life and death stage with him and put an end to him myself..."
"How could that bastard Guo Si be willing to fight with you, my cousin? If you could find him, he would have slipped away. You can't reason with a man like him..."
The two voices, one was Xu Enda's, with a hint of weakness in his voice, and the other was a voice that sounded very familiar to Yan Liqiang. This Imperial Capital City was indeed too small!
"Brother Xu, we brought someone to see you..." Xiao Wu said this, then he opened the door and walked into the house with Yan Liqiang.
Xu Enda was lying on the bed, looking a little pale. There was another person sitting beside the bed with his back to the door. He turned around when he heard the door being pushed open behind him, and then he saw Yan Liqiang. Then, the person stood up in an instant as if there were springs under his buttocks, and looked at Yan Liqiang with a look of surprise and excitement, "Yan... Guard Yan... Ah... No... No... Now it should be... Captain Yan... How... What are you doing..."
Because he was too shocked, Hu Haihe seemed a little incoherent for a moment and didn't know what to say.
"Haihe, long time no see. I've been waiting for you to come and practice archery with me!" Yan Liqiang greeted Hu Haihe with a smile.
Xiao Wu and the others who brought Yan Liqiang here and Xu Enda who was lying on the bed were all a little puzzled. They looked at Hu Haihe's face and then at Yan Liqiang, and each of their faces was full of confusion.
"Haihe...you...you know each other?" Xu Enda, who was lying on the bed, asked curiously.
"Cousin, this is the guard Yan I told you about who single-handedly killed hundreds of Black Wind Bandits on the way to escort Lord Sun. He should be Captain Yan now!"
"Ah..." Xu Enda, Xiao Wu and other young people lying on the bed were stunned. They probably had heard rumors about Yan Liqiang from Hu Haihe before, but what they didn't expect was that the unattainable person in their minds was actually the person in front of them. Yan Liqiang did not tell them his name when he decided to hire a few people, so Xu Enda and the others didn't know that Yan Liqiang was the Yan Liqiang that Hu Haihe had told them about.
Hearing Yan Liqiang's identity, Xu Enda's face became a little excited. He struggled to get up from the bed. Yan Liqiang quickly pressed his shoulders and said, "You are injured now. Rest well and don't move..."
"Cousin, how...how did you get to know Captain Yan?" Hu Haihe asked curiously.
"Your cousin and his brothers helped me out a few days ago. I didn't expect to meet your cousin Haihe. This world is really too small!"
When Yan Liqiang told everyone about how he met Xu Enda and the others a few days ago, everyone understood it all at once. All of a sudden, everyone felt that they had become one step closer to each other, and Yan Liqiang's position among everyone suddenly became the undisputed center figure. The way everyone in the room looked at Yan Liqiang was different again.
Yan Liqiang first checked Xu Enda's injuries and found that Xu Enda had three injuries. One was on the thigh, where he was stabbed by a dagger. The wound was very deep, but fortunately the artery was not injured. One was on the left side of the waist, and another was on the back. The wounds on the waist and back were more than two fingers long. They were caused by a dagger, not a stab. Although it looked scary, it was not fatal. It was a blessing in disguise.
"Have you seen a doctor yet?" Yan Liqiang asked Hu Haihe.
"I've already seen him. The doctor has prescribed some medicine and said that the main thing now is to recuperate!"
"I still have some medicine on me, from the Deer Garden. It should be better than the medicine prescribed by the doctor in the Imperial Capital. Let your cousin try it!" Yan Liqiang said, and took out a medicine bag from his body, took out a beautiful white porcelain bottle from the medicine bag, and handed it to Hu Haihe, "The pills inside can be taken orally or used externally. Take it once a day. For external use, dissolve it in water and apply it on the wound. Change it every three days!"
Ever since he met Hua Ruxue a few days ago, Yan Liqiang has developed the habit of carrying a medicine bag with him every time he goes out, because he is not sure that he will not encounter any accidents every time he goes out, so carrying a medicine bag with him is always a good idea.
Hu Haihe took the white porcelain bottle from Yan Liqiang and looked at it carefully. Then he carefully opened the bottle cap and sniffed it. He became excited and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Ah, this is... this is... the Five Elements Transformation Pill, this... this is the imperial medicine used in the palace..."
"Ha, I didn't expect you to know Haihe!" Yan Liqiang smiled, "What's the use of medicine inside and outside the palace? Medicine is for people to use. Don't save it for me. It's easy for me to get a few bottles of medicine in Luyuan..."
