Seeing this unreasonable Chen Xiaobei and Cui Hongyu, their hearts warmed.
This man is really different from the one in the legend, very different. He knows both cold and hot, and he is not the kind of person who doesn't even care about his sister's life or death.
So she obeyed and stood up and walked into the house.
After settling Cui Hongyu and his sister Qiaoer, Chen Xiaobei turned around and walked out. He wanted to see Dachun.
At this time, Dachun had already woken up and saw Chen Xiaobei with a grateful face, "Brother Xiaobei, thank you, thank you Hongyu, if it weren't for you two, I might have stayed in Qingniu Mountain."
Chen Xiaobei smiled and shook his head, "You are talking nonsense. You are blessed with great fortune. Even if I don't go, others will."
"Come on, I've heard it a long time ago. Chen Ping and the others ran back when they reached the foot of the mountain." Dachun braced himself, sat up and leaned against the bed, "If I hadn't saved that person, I wouldn't have done it.
It’s down to this.”
Chen Xiaobei looked curious, "Why did you save him?"
"Don't mention it. I met that man halfway up the mountain. He said he was seriously injured and asked me to carry him down."
"It was already dark when we walked to the mountain temple. I couldn't see clearly. My foot slipped and I staggered. As a result, he fell off the cliff."
"I went down to try to get him up, but not long after I went down, my vision went dark and I fell unconscious."
Now the matter is basically clear, that is, it was an accident that fell off the cliff next to the mountain temple.
Dachun's poisoning was an accident among accidents.
But these are not important. What is important is that Chen Xiaobei confirmed his inference, that is, when he went to the mountains in spring, he was definitely not looking for wild eggs, but must be looking for ginseng.
If you see through things without telling them, you can still be friends. Chen Xiaobei sat there for a while, then got up and said goodbye and went home.
Chen Qiaoer was already awake. She was sitting under the big locust tree. When she saw Chen Xiaobei coming in, she made a gesture of covering her mouth, and then said softly, "Sister-in-law, you are asleep. Brother, please keep your voice down."
Chen Xiaobei nodded and sat down next to Chen Qiaoer. Only then did he realize that Chen Qiaoer was actually holding a branch and gesticulating and writing on the ground.
Chen Qiaoer said proudly: "My sister-in-law taught me this."
In my memory, Chen Xiaobei in this life was an illiterate guy, and Chen Qiaoer didn't know anything.
Having said that, given their previous financial conditions, it was naturally impossible for them to study in a private school in a neighboring village.
And now letting Qiaoer go to school has to be put on the agenda.
Of course, there's no need to worry about it. What's important is another matter.
The Houttuynia cordata is no longer needed in Dachun, so I have to sell it today, because in such a hot day, it will spoil a lot if it is kept for another day.
After admonishing Chen Qiaoer, Chen Xiaobei set out on the road carrying a large bag of Houttuynia cordata. Walking on the rugged road, it was only then that he realized how important it was to have a horse.
But thinking about what happened that morning, he didn't regret it at all.
A horse is a very valuable thing, but that thing is inconsistent with one's current status, and if one accepts it, it will cause criticism.
It's just that he didn't expect that whether he accepted it or not, it had already caused criticism.
At this time, the head of the neighborhood, Chen Anbang, was walking around at home, feeling very uneasy.
He knew about the Liu family in the county.
Someone from the Liu family came, and it was Chen Xiaobei who brought him.
Then, another person was lifted down from the mountain.
Then people from the Liu family went to Chen Xiaobei's house.
What does this mean? This means that Chen Xiaobei has already established a relationship with the Liu family.
Looking at this posture, Chen Xiaobei not only did not suffer a bloody disaster, but he seemed to have had bad luck.
No, we can't wait any longer.
Cui Hongyu must be made a widow as soon as possible, so that Cui Fugui's entire family property can be acquired.
But it was absolutely inconvenient for him to come forward for this kind of thing. After thinking about it over and over again, he thought of someone.
That is Chen Ermao's father, Chen Yutian.
Chen Yutian and his wife, as well as their child Chen Ermao, are now forced to flee. They must hate Chen Xiaobei. All he needs to do is give a hint.
Thinking of this, Chen Anbang walked out of the house with his hands behind his back, walked along the street, and finally arrived at Chen Yutian's home.
The village chief was the biggest official in the village. When they saw him coming, Chen Yutian and his wife quickly let him go inside.
"Second uncle, why are you here? Come on, please sit down in the room."
Chen Anbang was not polite, walked into the room, sat down on the chair, and let Chen Yutian and his wife bring him a bowl of water.
"Yutian, is there any news about Ermao recently?"
Unable to guess the purpose of Chen Anbang's visit, Chen Yutian naturally did not dare to reveal any more information. He shook his head repeatedly and said with a deliberately distressed look, "Don't mention it. I don't know where this bastard went. Alas!"
Chen Anbang nodded, "Let him hide it and never show his face."
When he heard that there seemed to be something in his words, Chen Yutian couldn't help but become nervous, "Second uncle, what are you doing?"
Chen Anbang deliberately let out a long sigh, "I'm here to give you a heads up."
"Today, there is a big event in the village, have you heard about it?"
Chen Yutian and his wife looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
"Second uncle, I didn't go out this day. I don't know what happened in the village."
Chen Anbang deliberately lowered his voice, "Chen Xiaobei brought a lot of people here today, all of them riding horses and carrying knives. They even went to Chen Xiaobei's house. Not to mention the intimacy."
Now it was Chen Yutian's turn to be dumbfounded. He obviously didn't understand what this had to do with him.
Seeing that he still didn't understand, Chen Anbang continued, "The people here are from the Liu family in the county. It is said that even the emperor wants to give their head some face."
"Chen Xiaobei came to me several times about Chen Ermao's escape, but I suppressed him every time. If he tells the Liu family about this, we will be in trouble."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yutian became a little anxious, "What should I do? How about I go and beg him to let Er Mao go?"
Chen Anbang snorted coldly, "If he could let Ermao go, why did he force me to send him to the county government in the first place!"
"Second uncle, what do you think we should do about this matter?" Chen Yutian was completely bypassed by him.
Chen Anbang stood up and stood at the door of the house pretending to be mysterious, looking into the yard.
Of course, there must be no one in the yard.
Then he turned back to Chen Yutian and lowered his voice and said, "Only by telling him to shut up can we keep this matter hidden."
this.
This time it was Chen Yutian's turn to be dumbfounded, an honest farmer.
This matter was obviously beyond his cognition, "Second uncle, this is inappropriate, I..."
"What's wrong? Cui Hongyu has already killed three men. It's normal to have one more."
After saying that, Chen Anbang stood up, put his hands behind his back and walked away leisurely.
Now that he is gone, Chen Yutian and his wife are no longer calm.
There are some things that I'm afraid of thinking nonsense about. The more I think about him, the more it becomes a problem. The old couple is thinking too much now.
Thinking about it, Chen Ermao and the others often bully Chen Xiaobei, so if they seize the opportunity now, Chen Xiaobei will definitely not let it go.
If they never come back for the rest of their lives, who will care for them until they are too old to walk?
