Shen Bing kept asking questions while running, but I didn't have the heart to answer. I ran to Zhang Jinxia's door and heard a faint scream from inside. I thought something was wrong and rushed in. I saw two figures jumping out of the back window. They seemed to be Cao Minglu and Cao Huiyan.
Zhang Jiushan was lying on the edge of the bed covered in blood. Saving people was more important. I ran to him and saw a dagger stuck in his chest. Blood was gushing out of the wound. He had fainted. It seemed that he risked his life to protect his wife. I just thought that Cao Minglu wanted to kill Zhang Jinxia.
The two of us slowly turned Zhang Jiushan over and found that he was still breathing. Shen Bing checked the wound and the knife and said that the wound was not deep and his life should not be in danger. We had to give him blood quickly. We often got injured when we went out, so we had plenty of blood medicine and cotton wool. So we took out these things, pressed the artery around the wound with our fingers, pulled out the knife, and blood still gushed out.
Shen Bing was very experienced and stuffed the wound with cotton wool with hemostatic medicine, then pressed it with a bandage, wrapped it around the body for a few weeks, and tied it tightly. Although blood was still oozing out, it was not as scary as before.
Zhang Jinxia was still sleeping, not knowing that her husband was seriously injured. We observed for a while and found that the Zhangjiu Mountain Range was gradually stabilizing, so we breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that we arrived in time just now, so they didn't stab deeply and fled in panic. Otherwise, they would not be able to be saved even if they were sent to the hospital immediately.
After tossing and turning for half the night, it was almost dawn, and Zhang Jiushan probably hadn't given Zhang Jinxia the laxative yet, so he asked Shen Bing to do it for her. We didn't dare to leave, and stayed by her bed for more than an hour. When it was bright outside, Zhang Jinxia suddenly woke up, and without even looking at her husband, she hurriedly got out of bed and ran out.
After a while, she staggered back to the house, holding her stomach. When she saw the blood on us and my husband, she was so scared that she screamed, "What happened to Jiushan? You..."
We quickly explained to her what was going on. Zhang Jinxia was not a stupid woman. She looked at her husband and found that he was still alive, so she felt relieved. When she heard us say that it was possible that Cao Minglu had poisoned her first and then came here to use a knife, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she fell to her knees.
"Please save me and my husband. I finally escaped from the clutches of this devil four years ago, and now he wants to kill us again..." Zhang Jinxia said while crying bitterly.
I suddenly realized that I was right. She was related to Cao Minglu. So I closed the door and asked her to tell me the whole story.
Twenty years ago, Zhang Jinxia was also a famous beautiful girl, and Cao Minglu had long been interested in her. But this guy had never done anything serious since he was a child, and he was not rich, so Zhang Jinxia's parents certainly did not like him. They proposed to him several times, but were rejected, so they married his current wife. However, he has always been obsessed with Zhang Jinxia, and has not forgotten the shame of being rejected. One night, on the way back from watching a play in Wuli Village, he dragged her into the fields and raped her.
From then on, whenever she was alone at home, Cao Minglu would sneak in and attack her. Zhang Jinxia's life fell into a nightmare, and she didn't dare to tell her parents and elder brother. She was like a fool, and no one proposed to her anymore. Her family was poor, and when Cao Minglu's mother suddenly proposed marriage, she quickly got married, regardless of the strange rumors in Celi Village.
