Were they really going to treat them like this? The Village Chief of the Big Stone Village was really angry, she was so angry that her entire body was trembling if not for the fact that she could not stand up, she would have forgone her identity as the village chief and fought with Village Head Gu. Was this even human language? If each family did not pay a silver tael to them, they will chase them out of their village. They have to be kidding her!
In the end, the Village Chief of the Big Stone Village agreed to sell half of the village land to the Big River Village. In fact, it was more than half when Village Head Gu wrote down the document and then made her press her thumbprint along with many other women who needed treatment.
Even though the demands which were placed by the Big River Village were indeed unfair there was nothing that the village Chief of the Big Stone Village could do.
Doctor Gu was the only proper doctor who knew what she was doing, ever since she was young she had followed her mother and grandmother who were physicians and learned from them. In fact, she was the only one who was accepted by the medicinal hall in the town, the others were so incompetent that they were chased out by the medicinal hall. There was no point in looking for those doctors they will only make things difficult for them.
Maybe their limbs which only needed a small treatment might end up getting aggravated by them.
Doctor Gu was a decent woman, she did not hold on to a grudge for long even though she still hated these women, she was still willing to hold on to her morals as a doctor.
But for those who killed children and ate their flesh, she did not pay attention to them, in fact, those who were responsible for eating human flesh received most of the injuries because they were pushed by those who did not eat the flesh in front of the Animals who were going crazy.
This was why even if they were treated they will still be handicapped since their bones broke in minute fragments and she could not deal with them.
Most of the village women who were injured to the point where they could not get up were taken away by the rest of the villagers of the Big Stone Village.
On the other hand, Ye Liu and the rest took the animals which were injured to Doctor Hu. They asked Doctor Gu to take care of the animals with great attention as they were the ones who showed great loyalty to them in their time of need.
Looking at the injuries of a calf and the goat, Yu Mai could not help but shed a few tears as he patted the two of them and muttered, " It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."
Xian Lei, the abdicated crown princess of the imperial city looked at the mer who was caressing the injured animals and was speechless when she saw the mer speak to those animals who couldn't even understand what he was saying.
" They cannot understand what you are speaking so why bother speaking?" Xian Lei asked as she looked at Yu Mai who raised his head and then glared at Xian Lei and said, " Sister Tiger, they understand what I say."
Xian Lei was speechless when she heard the nickname which was given to her by the Yu family and then said in a soft voice, " Little Mai, why do you call sister Lei, sister Tiger? Have I not told you that you should call me Sister Lei?"
" Sister calls you little tiger," Because Xian Lei's eyes were as sharp as that of the tiger which Yu Dong killed the first time she called her little Tiger but Xian Lei did not like this name and was very upset.
" There is no need for you to follow your sister, she doesn't understand——"
" Are you calling my sister stupid ?" Yu Mai's voice rose as he looked at Xian Lei with a fierce expression on his face causing the latter to rub her forehead as she said,
" I am not calling sister Yu stupid, she is my benefactor I will not dare to call her such words, I just think that you are being … forget it you will not understand."
You will not understand = you are too stupid to understand.
Yu Mai's temper flared, he wanted to hit Xian Lei but was caught by Shen Li who looked down at the two kids and then said, " All right, that's enough. There is no need to fight like this, Little Mai, you cannot hit sister Lei and Little Lei, you cannot tease Mai."
" I am not teasing him," Xian Lei was speechless as she looked at Yu Mai's expression if possible worsened and then sighed, " Fine, I was teasing you."
Whatever makes you sleep at night, thought Xian Lei as she turned to look at the calf who was eating the grass which looked really fresh even though it was stored up ages ago.
She did not think that the animals understood anything that Yu Mai said but just as this thought came to her head, the little calf raised his head and looked at her before snorting and turning its bottom to face her.
Xian Lei: "…." Was she being disdained by a calf?
In the bunker, Yu Tong and the rest were taking care of Li Hanjing who was kicked in the stomach by the women of the Big Stone Village.
Yu Tong looked at Li Hanjing who was sweating profusely and then snarled, " If I knew that they were going to do something like this I would have broken a few more bones of those bastards !"
Li Hanjing looked at Yu Tong who was worrying over him and felt really sweet but just as he was going to say something, Second Aunt Yu who was silent till now spoke up, " Ah Tong come with me please."

At the same time, Yu Dong arrived at the magistrate's office.
