Chapter Thirty-Three Are These Two Goods Traveled by Dex Society?

"Li San! Mom, that's the third child!" Li Er pulled her like crazy.

Looking closely, there was a dying man lying on the big wooden platform. He was the third son of the original owner - Li San!

His disheveled face was covered in blood, and the left side of his face was even swollen and deformed.

The clothes were turned into a few rags, barely hanging on the body.

His hands and feet were tied tightly with blood-soaked ropes.

Judging from the marks on his wrists and ankles, and the blood on the rope, they should all be his.

He was so scarred that it was impossible to describe what Li San looked like now.

The man hawking on the wooden platform kept saying: "Regardless of the injuries on his body, if he has recovered, he will definitely be a good laborer! Is there anyone you like? It's cheap! You can take away a strong laborer with just one tael of silver."

, it’s not a loss to get it!”

Lin Tao took out a tael of silver and threw it on the stage.

The man selling the goods looked excited and called two helpers to lift Li San onto the bullock cart.

Li San, who could only open one eye, groaned a few times and shed tears from the corners of his eyes when he saw her.

"Don't say anything. We won't talk until we get out of Fangshi."

After pulling the bullock cart out of Fangshi, Lin Tao directly took the person to a medical center.

After paying the 200 yuan consultation fee, Li San was carried into the consultation room.

Lin Tao and three others were sitting in the front hall waiting.

This sitting lasted half a day.

When the doctor came out, he briefly explained his condition.

"There are numerous scratches on the body, fifteen stab wounds, and thirty-three whip wounds. Fortunately, no muscles or bones are injured. He can be healed with medicine."

"Can we go in and have a look?"

The doctor nodded, and Lin Tao and the other two entered the clinic.

"Lao San, didn't you go hunting in the mountains? How did you fall into the hands of those people?" Li Er asked.

Li Si asked: "Third brother, who are those people? Why did you recruit them?"

Li San, who had regained his composure, talked about what happened these days.

The day after the original owner died, Li San went into the mountains. He wanted to hunt some game and sell it to make money to buy a coffin for the original owner.

He hunted a deer with all his might, and the night he went out of the mountains, the dead deer even attracted a lone wolf.

In order to protect his prey, he fought with the wolf for another night, and finally he killed the wolf.

With injuries all over his body, he carried the deer and his mother to the town, and successfully sold the prey, earning twenty taels of silver.

On the way to choose a coffin, he was targeted by a gang of thugs in the town headed by Wang Ermazi.

"They came up and grabbed the money, but I refused to give it to them. But there were so many of them, they finally grabbed the money, and they arrested me and sold it to me."

"Lao San, Lao San, why are you so stupid? You have money and you don't know how to hide it! Look what kind of trouble you have caused! That Wang Ermazi is a rogue who has been in Qingyuan Town for many years! He doesn't even dare to gamble.

Provoke him! Now it's better, your twenty taels are gone, and you still have to take mother's one tael of silver! You've been offended by someone too!"

Lin Tao looked at Li San. Among the five children of the original owner, the third son was the most willing to do things, the most honest, the least brainless, and the least talkative.

Especially his mouth, he is simply born to make up for it! If he doesn't speak, he is at best stupid and unable to speak. When he speaks, he can make people angry to death.

No, it's obviously not him who is wrong, he can't even refute!

But the matter of money being robbed is mysterious both inside and out.

Anyone with a brain can guess that this kid Li San was probably betrayed by someone.

Otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence that as soon as the front foot was sold for money, the back foot was targeted.

"Second brother! I can see that the third brother was betrayed, okay? Why are you still blaming the third brother?"

"Really? Old Fourth, do you mean that the rogue and the person who bought your prey are the same group?"

Li Er's brain was really... Lin Tao even wondered if he was beaten stupid by the original owner when he was a child!

"Otherwise? The third brother sold something on the front foot and spent money on the back foot. How could it be such a coincidence that the money was robbed before it was spent?"

"It makes sense!" Li Er nodded: "Forget it, Third Brother, we can't afford to offend Wang Mazi and his gang. Let's just let this matter go! You may want to be more liberal."

"No, second brother, there's nothing wrong with you, right? Twenty taels of silver! Let's forget it?"

Lin Tao really couldn't listen anymore: "Shut up!"

Bang! A piece of melon rind hit Li Er on the forehead.

"Mom! Why did I offend you? How come you just start attacking me at any time!"

Lin Tao looked sideways and asked, "Is this about money?"

"Isn't this a matter of money?" Li Er replied.

"This is a matter of money, but it is more than just a matter of money." Li Si affirmed.

Li Er looked confused: "Is it about money?"

Li Si looked serious: "Then it depends, what do you value more? If you value money, then it is about money! If you value people, then it is about people!"

"Shut up!"

Lin Tao is really convinced!

She wanted to ask, did these two guys come from the Dex Society in time?

One is flattering and the other is teasing, they go so well together!

Really, she seemed to be able to predict that she would be so angry that her blood pressure would soar and she would explode and die!

Finally, after calming down, Lin Tao felt a little relieved.

He took out ten cents and sent Li Er and Li Si: "Go, you two go buy some steamed buns and bring them back."

After the two left, Lin Tao asked: "Where did they imprison you? Are there anyone else imprisoned with you?"

"In the small courtyard next to the Chenghuang Temple on Xiaodong Street, many of the people detained are women and children."

"Okay, have a good rest. We'll go home early tomorrow morning."

Li San suddenly swallowed harder and muttered something like, thinking he would never see them again, how good it was that his mother was still alive, and so on.

Not long after, Li San fell asleep.

***

On the street, Li Er grabbed the money and looked for a shop selling steamed buns.

When passing by a gambling house, he was pulled by Li Si.

"Second brother, give me a gamble with your money? Maybe, I can turn the copper plates into silver!"

"Fourth, have you forgotten what you promised your mother?" Li Er shook his hand.

Li Si seemed to think of something, glared, and shrank his neck.

"Quick, quick, second brother, take me away." It was so dangerous that he almost lost his grip!

Regarding the old lady's recent hot temper, if he entered the gambling house, his hand would be cut off.

While Li Er was dragging the man forward, Li Si looked back and muttered: "My mother just bought a bullock cart, Li Si, you haven't even ridden in it yet! My mother just bought rice, and you haven't had a bite yet."

It’s time to eat! There are so many beautiful women, but you haven’t touched Li Si yet! You can’t enter the gambling house, and without your hand, all this will be lost!”

Li Er didn't let go until he couldn't see the gambling house.

Li Si patted his chest: "It's so dangerous, it's so dangerous, it's so dangerous..."

Finally, he repeatedly told Li Er: "Brother, you have to keep an eye on me! Don't let me enter the gambling house."

Li Erna looked at Li Si with a look like a fool.

After buying the steamed buns, I returned to the medical center along the same route.

Lin Tao took a nap and woke up when she heard the two people coming in.

For ten dollars, I bought ten steamed buns, Lin Tao ate two, and the three brothers shared eight.

By the time we finished eating the steamed buns, it was getting dark.

Lin Tao closed her eyes and considered the current situation.

Is the twenty taels of silver worth her trip?
