The boy approached the overturned carriage.

The surrounding area was splashed with mud kicked up by the wheels when the carriage overturned.

The ground was also crushed into circles by wheels and horses' hooves, which was a mess of mud marks.

No wonder this carriage left such crazy traces.

After all, this carriage was originally unmanned, or the driver had no control over it.

"This person..."

The boy found a place to stay next to Nia and followed the girl's line of sight to look inside the car.

There were many wooden boxes and sacks stacked in the carriage of the carriage. Because they were all tied up with hemp ropes, these things basically did not fall out.

However, there was still a big collision when the carriage overturned, and some sacks were scratched by sharp objects inside the bags.

In addition to the damaged sacks, the boy could also see two broken wooden boxes in the carriage.

It seems that when the carriage overturned, the inside of the carriage also suffered a great impact.

It can be seen from the items exposed that these boxes and sacks contain daily necessities.

These things can solve Heimer's immediate needs.

Of course those are small things.

The focus of attention now is not on these goods, but on the old man covered in blood who fell in the carriage.

Although this old man does not look thin, he is not tall either.

He has a long beard, gray hair, and his back seems a little stooped.

It can be seen that he is already very old.

"This? This! Take him out quickly!"

Heimer and Zeref ran over, and when they saw the situation clearly, they were a little panicked.

The two adults immediately got into the carriage and carried out the old man who was huddled in the carriage one after another.

"How about it?"

the young man asked.

He originally wanted to go over and take a look at the situation, but realized that he might be in the way, so he stood aside and watched the two people going about their business.

Heimer pressed his fingers on the old man's neck and felt a slight pulse.

"You still have a breath, bring some water!"

"good."

Zeref works as Heimer's assistant.

After all, the two of them had been in the military, and they still knew some first aid methods.

Seeing that Heimer and Zeref seemed to be able to handle it, the boy turned to the girl and asked her:

"Who is this person?"

"..."

At this time, Nia was comforting the baby girl who was frightened and crying by the bloody scene. She pretended that she did not hear the boy's question and wanted to focus on her crying sister in her arms.

"You know this person, right? Nia, who is he?"

Nia was not in the mood to answer the boy's question, she really wanted to stop herself from thinking about it.

But the young man pursued her relentlessly and wanted to find out why.

"Nia, you know the name of this horse, so this old man is also from your village, right?"

"Grandpa Dundee...the head of our village."

Under the boy's questioning, Nia finally answered.

When she revealed the identity of this person, Nia almost couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes.

"Obviously the village chief should have gone to Hanshuang Town with the rest of the village..."

Nia choked, holding back tears and never letting herself cry.

She never expected to see "Lightning" here, nor did she expect to see the dying Mayor of Dundee.

"Does it mean everyone?"

If something happened to the village chief who was supposed to be with other villagers, wouldn't the villagers...

Nia didn't dare to think about it anymore. She would rather never see those familiar people again than get the news of their death.

But the little girl in her arms stopped crying. Lianna's attention was attracted by the dark horse named "Lightning" in front of her.

Perhaps this was the first time she had seen a horse since she was born.

The swaddled baby stretched out her tender little hands, wanting to touch the dark and shiny horse's head.

"Lightning" very cooperatively stretched its head over, letting the little baby touch its horse's mane and pull the leather on its mouth.

"I...I'm sorry."

The boy knew that his question just now touched the girl's hurt area.

But in terms of motivation, he did it on purpose.

In fact, the young man didn't care what this person's name was or what his original identity was.

What he really cared about was Nia's emotion when she saw the old man.

The young man understood that this man might have a close relationship with Nia. But the girl wanted to escape now. She didn't even want to look at the old man's pale face just now.

This is not a good attitude in the young man's eyes, even if he is not unable to understand this girl's mood.

But it is wrong to choose to escape after all. A blindfolded ostrich cannot see the truth.

"There's nothing to apologize for, right? Verus, it's just that I can't stand it. After all..."

Nia smiled, although the smile looked a little forced.

She had just wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers when the "Lightning" that was close to her suddenly stuck out its tongue towards Nia's face, making the girl's face wet.

"Ahaha! Don't make trouble at this time."

Nia's cheek was licked by the black horse with its rough tongue, and she couldn't help but giggle.

But even if this girl is smiling, there are tears in the corners of her eyes...

The boy looked away from Nia, then turned his back to her and said:

"You don't have to worry too much, Nia."

"We don't know what happened until the old man wakes up, do we?"

After saying that, he left the girl standing there and walked towards Heimer and the other two who were busy doing something.

Although the boy didn't have much experience or knowledge in treating others in his memory, he could still see if he could be of any help.

"Yeah...I understand."

Grandpa Dundee, I hope you are okay.

Nia looked at the three people in front of her who were treating the old man's injuries, and then looked at her sister's innocent face.

Now she had nothing to spare to join them, even if she was not helpless.

In fact, Nia didn't have the courage to deal with the bloody wound.

Just looking at those bloody things made Nia tremble all over and find it difficult to calm down.

But Niya knew that she couldn't panic at this time, so she also tried to calm herself down.

Zeref followed Heimer's request and went to find water sources nearby and made a fire to boil some hot water.

Nia tied her sister with a strip of cloth on her back, and her sister Liana was also very obedient and did not cause any trouble.

Next, Nia chose to help Zeref. She was also good at this kind of housework.

The young man was helping Heimer.

The boy handed the bandage to Heimer and asked him: "Is the problem serious?"

"Very serious."

Heimer frowned and used the bandage given by the boy to bandage the treated wound.

"The head was hit with a blunt instrument and there were stab wounds on the chest."

Heimer described the old man's situation, his hoarse voice full of heaviness.

"The blood on several cracked wounds had solidified very early, but there seemed to be signs of infection, and there seemed to be blood stasis inside his skull. I was unable to remove it."

Regarding the old man's injuries, Heimer, who was accustomed to military life, could only provide the most basic emergency treatment.

Although he could see the specific condition of the old man's injury, he did not understand the complicated treatment methods. And Zeref, who had been working as a handyman, did not understand these things.
