The two dogs were caught off guard and fell to the ground.
Chen Mo picked up the kitchen knife and planned to go into the woods to look for leprous. This was not the best choice, but if he wanted to end it completely, he had to face the danger.
Just at this moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves came from the direction of the county town, and through the gaps in the trees on the roadside, a carriage could be vaguely seen speeding towards them.
This completely disrupted Chen Mo's plan.
Looking at Ergou who was unconscious on the ground, and then thinking about what was happening in the woods, Chen Mo was heartbroken, raised the back of the knife and struck it directly on his forehead.
Warmth flowed under the severe pain, and he threw the kitchen knife next to Ergou. Chen Mo lay down on the ground, his eyes just enough to take in the woods and the official road.
As soon as the posture was set, the carriage was already approaching.
Amidst the neighing sound of Xilulu, two people jumped out of the car in a hurry.
Chen Mo wanted to shout for help and put on a good show, but after seeing what the two of them looked like, he held back his words.
Xu Liqiu and Xu Lidong, why are they here?
"Brother Chen, what happened, how are you?"
Xu Liqiu glanced at the two dogs in a hurry, rushed in front of him, then tore off a piece of cloth from the lining, and raised his hand to wipe Chen Mo's blood.
"Brother Liqiu, I was unlucky and was targeted by thieves. Fortunately, the three of them had a dispute over the uneven distribution of the stolen goods, which allowed me to save my life." Chen Mo had already prepared his words.
"Three thieves?" Xu Liqiu stuffed the cloth into Chen Mo's arms, looked around and asked anxiously, "There is one lying here, where are the other two?"
"We are fighting fiercely inside." Chen Mo raised his hand and pointed to the woods.
At this time, the leper appeared, and after hearing this, he turned around and ran away.
"Lidong, take care of brother Chen, I'll go catch the thief." Xu Liqiu got up and chased after him.
"Sir, don't move. The bleeding needs to be stopped immediately." Xu Lidong said, taking the piece of cloth and wiping it carefully, "Fortunately, it's just a broken flesh, nothing serious."
"My name is Chen Mo. Just call me by my first name. I really don't deserve the word sir." Chen Mo stood up.
"You dare not," Xu Lidong said uneasily, "Brother said that you are a scholar and my noble one, so you must be addressed as sir."
Chen Mo was confused when he heard this: "You and I have only met once in Yaxing, where do you start talking about noble people?"
"Sir, I don't know. This afternoon, when Grandma Wang returned to Yaxing, she saved me the hard work of carrying water and sweeping the floor. From now on, I can just drive the carriage for her."
"Afterwards, I heard from Wang Po's close entourage that it was all because of Mr. Wang's blessing, so I asked a few questions and learned about the close relationship between Mr. Wang and Po Wang."
I see!
Chen Mo understood in his heart and glanced at Granny Wang again.
It's really like living a human spirit.
At that time, I just asked casually, and this was how I sent the favor.
"By the way, are you here specifically to see me?"
"Sir, yes." Xu Lidong explained, "While talking with Mrs. Wang's personal entourage, I learned that the rogue Zhao Shan once came to blackmail Mr.
He wanted to announce the good news, so he drove the carriage to the city gate and talked to him about Mr.
"Then what?"
"After my brother heard the shouting, he said that during the changing of the guard, he happened to see Mr. walking out of the city gate, and Zhao Shan and two other people also left the city. Because we were worried that Zhao Shan would be harmful to Mr., we hurried
Cars and carriages chased him, but Mr. Wanxing was blessed with great luck and was not seriously injured."
"You are very considerate, Chen Mo would like to thank you." Chen Mo planned to salute.
"Sir, you can't do it. If you want to thank him, it's only for us to thank him." Xu Lidong hurriedly stopped him.
Chen Mo didn't insist, he just kept this friendship in his heart.
"Lidong, there's something I don't quite understand. Is Zhao Shan so famous in the city?"
"It's very famous, but it's just a bad reputation." Xu Lidong said angrily, "He often goes to the dental shop to borrow money. He bullied me once and was punished by his brother."
"Okay, it seems that Zhao Shan's death was not unjust."
"Sir, what did you say?" Xu Lidong was shocked.
"I said Zhao Shan did not die unjustly." Chen Mo pointed to the woods, "They were fighting over the spoils just now, and the one who ran away said he wanted to kill Zhao Shan."
"Really, really killed?" Xu Lidong turned pale with fright.
"Dead, absolutely dead." The person who answered was Xu Liqiu.
He went and came back again, and brought the leper back.
When the latter saw Chen Mo, he struggled and screamed, but couldn't say a word.
Xu Liqiu slapped his mouth with his backhand, knocking the man to the ground, and then explained to Chen Mo while tying up the two dogs.
"Brother Chen, the thieves just made false accusations that you instigated them to kill. It's just nonsense. Don't worry, I will definitely restore my innocence and justice in this matter."
"Thank you, Brother Liqiu."
Chen Mo thought for a moment and realized there was something in Xu Liqiu's words.
But he believed that Xu Liqiu would not make a big fuss about this matter, and would at most use a tacit secret to further draw the relationship between them closer.
In the final analysis, it was because Xu Lidong became a coachman.
If you can be a coachman today and work together to help in the future, you may not be able to become something else.
Ergou was tied up by Wuhua Da and woke up from his coma. Just when he was about to curse, Xu Liqiu pinched his cheeks.
He broke it off hard and it was immediately dislocated.
hiss……
Chen Mo took a breath of air in his heart and couldn't help but understand Xu Liqiu a little more.
He is a cruel person!
If he can use it for his own use in the future, he will have someone who can control Lin Xiaoshu.
A wild boy who was born into a blacksmith had to be disciplined by such a tough guy.
After completely subduing Ergou and Lezi, Xu Liqiu said: "It's getting late. Let's send your husband home as soon as possible in the beginning of winter. When we get to Qingyang Town, we'll find a doctor."
"Brother Liqiu, are you sure there will be no problem if you take them back alone?" Chen Mo was a little worried.
"Don't talk about the two of them, it's a piece of cake to have two more. Besides, it's not far from the city gate. Someone will come out to meet you then."
After Xu Liqiu finished speaking, he left, leaving only a promise.
"Brother Chen, you are not only the nobleman of Lidong, but also my nobleman. After I receive the reward, I must have a good meal with you."
"We're always here for you." Chen Mo nodded.
"Sir, get in the car." Xu Lidong urged.
"Let's go home."
After dealing with the three scoundrels and gaining the gratitude of the Xu brothers, Chen Mo boarded the carriage with ease, and the wound on his forehead no longer hurt so much.
On the way, Chen Mo did not let Xu Lidong stop, but returned directly to Baijiazhuang.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Chen Mo discovered something was wrong.
The lights on the back mountain were bright, and it was obvious that something big was happening.
"Lidong, you go back and tell Grandma Wang that you will come over early tomorrow. I have something important to discuss with you. Also, don't stop on the road and go back to the county seat directly."
After giving the instructions, Chen Mo hurriedly walked home.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Lin Xiaoshu yelling.
