Chapter 184: Past Relationship?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When the villagers heard that he was going to report this to the county magistrate, they instantly fell silent. They were afraid that the county magistrate would settle scores with them in the future. Although they had contributed little, if they lost their lives, they would be doomed.
Since ancient times, the people had never fought with officials.
Su Li raised her hand. “Then register my family. Without money, we won’t work for nothing. Whoever wants to go can go.”
Cui Dongsheng did not even look at Su Li. He glanced at everyone present.
“Who else is unwilling to go?”
No one dared to make a sound, afraid that they would offend Cui Dongsheng.
Cui Dongsheng glared at Su Li viciously and got his subordinates to lead the villagers to search the mountain.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he didn’t have enough manpower, would he have done this?
And this woman. After this matter was over, he would definitely settle scores with her. She had almost ruined his plans.
Seeing that everyone had gone to search the mountain, He Dahai stood where he was and did not know whether to stay or leave.
He thought of the 100 taels of silver that Cui Dongsheng had promised him previously and thought that he had provided clues, right? Should he be given this 100 taels of silver?
He Dahai shifted his feet and looked at Cui Dongsheng carefully. “Officer, you said that I would get 100 taels of silver for providing clues. Look at me…’ Before He Dahai could finish his sentence, Cui Dongsheng slapped him.
“You still have the cheek to mention the matter of the silver to me. Why don’t you find him for me? Do you think you can get the silver with just a few words? Do you think the silver belongs to your family?”
“I wonder what your eyes are for. You can’t even see properly. If those eyes are useless, you can just dig them out and feed them to the dogs.”
Facing Cui Dongsheng’s anger, He Dahai stammered as he explained, “I clearly saw it earlier. They must have hidden it…
This sentence again!
Cui Dongsheng kicked He Dahai impatiently. He had used all his strength in this kick. If not for the fact that he did not want to leave any evidence, he really wanted to pull out his saber and kill this cripple.
With a bang, He Dahai was kicked to the ground.
Cui Dongsheng’s kick had landed on his chest. His body was weak to begin with, and after this attack, he curled up on the ground in pain, his face pale.
Cui Dongsheng stepped on He Dahai’s face. “Do you really think you are amazing? If you anger me, I’ll end you with a knife.”
With that, Cui Dongsheng glanced at Su Li and He Yufeng before leaving in large strides. He did not want to stay here for a moment longer.
Su Li looked at the painful He Dahai without any sympathy. She even felt that Cui Dongsheng’s kick just now was too light.
Chen Xiang rushed in from outside. When she saw He Dahai lying on the ground, she hurriedly helped him up. “Are you alright?”
“Cough cough…” He Dahai coughed.
Chen Xiang exclaimed, “Blood, blood, why are you vomiting blood!”
As she spoke, He Dahai spat out another mouthful of blood.
This frightened Chen Xiang. She quickly wiped the blood from He Dahai’s lips with her sleeve. “Hubby, are you alright?”
Su Li looked at He Dahai vomiting blood and knew that he had vomited blood because he had been kicked just now and had suffered some stimulation.
However, this had nothing to do with her. Even if He Dahai vomited blood and died, she would not look at him.
Su Li said with disdain, “Hurry up and get out. Don’t dirty my place.”
If he vomited blood in her courtyard, she had to carry water to wash the blood away.
An awkward expression flashed across Chen Xiang’s face. She knew that Su Li must have blamed them, but it wasn’t Su Li’s fault. They were in the wrong first.
Chen Xiang opened her mouth many times, but she never begged.
“Cough, cough…” He Dahai started coughing again. He looked like he was about to cough his lungs out.
When Chen Xiang saw how terrible He Dahai’s condition was, she started to beg, “Sister, on account of our past relationship, please save him!”
Past relationship? Did they have any past relationship?
Su Li sneered and said, “I don’t remember us having any ties. Please leave my house quickly. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Chen Xiang looked at He Yufeng, hoping that he could help intercede. After all, they had taken care of him for a while.
He Yufeng looked at them coldly without any pity in his eyes.
“Are you leaving or not?” Su Li held the broom in one hand, looking like she wanted to kick them out.
He Dahai grabbed Chen Xiang’s hand. “Let’s go. Don’t beg her.”
Chen Xiang looked worried. “But…
“Cough, cough-
He Dahai endured his discomfort and said, “I’m fine. Let’s not be an eyesore here. They don’t welcome us.”
Su Li said, “It’s good that you know. Hurry up and get out. I don’t want to see you for another second.”
Chen Xiang’s eyes were filled with tears. She said to Su Li, “Sister, he was possessed this time. I’m really sorry. I’ll apologize to you here.”
Chen Xiang wiped the tears off her face and helped He Dahai out.
Bang!
As soon as Chen Xiang helped He Dahai out of the door, Su Li immediately closed the door.
Chen Xiang was shocked when she heard the door close.
“Let’s go,” He Dahai said.
Hearing the footsteps outside the door gradually fade away, Su Li grabbed He Yufeng and asked, “Where is he? Will they find him?”
He Yufeng looked at the hand that was holding his arm tightly and said, “No,
Yao Jun and Doctor Cheng have already sent him to the village chief’s house!”
Those people had already searched the village just now. They probably wouldn’t search again later. Moreover, even if they searched, they wouldn’t search the village chief’s house.
What?
They sent him to the village chief’s house?
Su Li asked curiously, “What happened? Why did you send him to the village chief’s house?”
Previously, when she had just stitched up Ling Yiran’s wound, Yao Jun came to their door and brought them bad news. It was that an official had come to their village to catch a fugitive and even offered a huge reward.
Yao Jun also said that a cripple was walking towards the village chief’s house. From the looks of it, he probably knew something.
When He Yufeng heard this, he knew the reason. He Dahai must have seen something, so he hurriedly ran over to claim credit.
Su Li knew that those people would come soon, so she asked He Yufeng to take Ling Yiran away and find a safe place to stay first. She would stay at home to deal with those people and try to stall for time.
He Yufeng explained, “I met He Wenda on the way. He asked me to bring him to his house. He said that the most dangerous place is the safest place. Moreover, those people wouldn’t expect him to hide in the village chief’s house.”
He Wenda was the son of the village chief. He was a very loyal person and was the kind of person who would risk his life for his friend.
He Yufeng had once saved his life, so he had always remembered this in his heart. This time, He Yufeng was in trouble, so he naturally had to step forward..
