Lu Qiqi transmigrated into a chaotic world of famine. With no parents and carrying a little sister in tow, she had to face immense hardship.
On the road during her escape, while others drank ...
Lu Dahai was burned by the baijiu and fainted.
Before he fainted, Lu Qiqi took his pulse again. After confirming that there was no problem, she immediately applied hallucinogenic leaf juice and took out a needle to sew up Lu Dahai.
Because Lu Dahai's injury was to his face, unlike Liu Tong's injury to a part of his body that was not visible to outsiders, Lu Qiqi had to put in a lot of effort.
Lu Qiqi's forehead was covered in sweat. She said, "Wipe my sweat."
Upon hearing this, Madam Lu immediately took a dry cloth and wiped Lu Dahai. Lu Qiqi was somewhat speechless, but she couldn't be distracted, so she said, "Wipe me."
"Oh, oh." Madam Lu then placed the dry cloth that had been used to wipe Lu Dahai's bloodstains on Lu Qiqi's face.
Fortunately, Li was the first to react, and took a clean cloth to wipe the sweat off Lu Qiqi's face.
Before dark, Lu Qiqi finished stitching up Lu Dahai, washed her hands, and then asked, "What exactly happened? Who injured Third Uncle?"
Upon hearing that Lu Dahai had been injured, Li began to wipe away her tears again. Seeing that asking her was of no use, Lu Qiqi turned her gaze to Li Changlong.
Li Changlong's face was ashen, veins bulging on his forehead, and his hands were clenched into fists at his sides, as if he could rush out and fight someone at any moment. He said, "It was Li Nianzi. His father divorced his mother, and he took advantage of my father being alone to hit him with a hoe. Luckily, my father reacted quickly and dodged it. Then Zhou Yi discovered it and chased Nianzi away, otherwise he would really be dead."
Lu Qiqi didn't know who Nianzi was, so she said, "What does her mother's divorce have to do with my third uncle?"
Li Changlong said, "Qian is his mother. After you said those things down the mountain that day, his father divorced her. I guess he took out all his resentment on my father."
Lu Qiqi was immediately filled with anger. This Li Nianzi was digging people up with a hoe, which was clearly a death wish. She said, "Third Uncle is fine for now. Take me to Li Nianzi's house. There is no reason why murder can go unpunished. Uncle, go find the village chief. With such a big incident, I don't believe he can be completely unaware of it."
If the village chief pretends to know nothing and protects Li Nianzi, then there's no point in staying in this village any longer.
Lu Qiqi said to Liu Tong, "Uncle Liu, you stay here and look after my third uncle. The rest of you come with me to seek justice."
After speaking, Lu Qiqi lifted the tent flap and strode out. A group of men followed behind her.
Led by Lu Qiqi, a large group of people appeared at the entrance of Li Nianzi's tent.
The other neighbors saw that Lu Qiqi had brought a group of people and looked displeased. They didn't know what had happened and could only watch from the sidelines.
Lu Qiqi suddenly shouted, "Li Nianzi, get out here!"
"What's all the fuss about? Whose daughter is so ill-mannered, running around calling for men at someone's door? Doesn't she know shame?" An old woman came out of the tent, cursing.
When Huang looked closely, she saw that it was Lu Qiqi. The thought that this ruthless killer had come looking for her grandson startled her.
She knew exactly what kind of person her grandson was, and she certainly didn't think Lu Qiqi had come to see Nianzi for any good reason, but her tone was noticeably less aggressive and her voice wasn't as loud. She said, "Lu family girl, what brings you to my Nianzi?"
Lu Qiqi was scolded for being ill-mannered. If she hadn't been mindful that the other person was an old woman, she probably would have beaten her to a pulp by now. She said, "Li Nianzi killed my third uncle, Lu Dahai, with a hoe. I'm going to take him to the government office to report him to the authorities."
When Huang heard that her beloved grandson had committed murder and that Lu Qiqi was going to arrest him and report him to the authorities, her eyes nearly popped out of her head. She vehemently denied it, saying, "Impossible! How could my Nianzi have killed your third uncle? He was only eighteen years old. How could he possibly beat a strong man like Lu Dahai?"
Lu Qiqi didn't want to waste words with Huang Shi. She could understand Huang Shi's protectiveness, but Huang Shi was indiscriminate and even had the wicked thought of killing people in her own village, yet she still tried to protect her.
Dealing with someone like that, whether you're in the right or not, is useless. It's better to just beat Li Nianzi into submission and send him to the authorities.
Lu Qiqi said, "Zhuzi, Dunzi, go in and get the person."
Upon hearing Lu Qiqi's words, Zhu Zi and Dun Zi headed towards the tent. Before they even entered the tent, Li Nianzi grabbed a wood-chopping knife and began chopping at anyone he saw.
Zhu Zi and Dun Zi had no weapons, so they quickly dodged.
Dunzi's movements were not as nimble as Zhuzi's, and he was about to be chopped in the arm by Li Nianzi's cleaver when he closed his eyes.
But the pain in his arm didn't come for a long time. When Dunzi opened his eyes, he saw that the wood-chopping knife that Lu Qiqi had kicked away was stuck straight in the mud next to the tent.
Lu Qiqi and Nianzi started fighting; to be precise, Li Nianzi was getting thoroughly beaten by Lu Qiqi.
Lu Qiqi acted quickly, and Li Nianzi had no time to protect him. As Li Nianzi cried out in pain, Huang Shi knelt on the ground and cried loudly, "You damned female demon, you want to kill my precious grandson!"
"You want my manhood?"
Seeing her kneeling on the ground crying while the neighbors just watched, Huang started cursing, "You heartless bunch! My old man has helped you a lot in the past, and you just stand by and watch his precious grandson being bullied like this? Do you want him to be restless even in his coffin?!"
The neighbors all looked disgusted after being scolded by Huang. Her grandfather had helped many people when he was alive, but his grandson and daughter-in-law had done a lot of bad things in the village.
If it weren't for the old man's sake, how could no one have bothered with Madam Qian and her good-for-nothing son?
Now that Huang is pointing her finger at them and cursing them like this, an aunt stood up and said, "I don't know what kind of despicable things your family has done. If it weren't for going too far, the Lu family girl wouldn't have come to our door to ask us to send her to the authorities. Getting a wife is a bad thing, and the grandson she gave birth to is no good either. You even have to use the old man as a matchmaker. I feel sorry for the old man."
Huang was so angry with her aunt that she could hardly breathe. Meanwhile, Lu Qiqi had also been beaten into submission by Li Changlong. She curled up on the muddy ground, trembling.
Lu Qiqi, having vented her anger, took out a hemp rope from her spatial storage and, pretending to take it from her waist, handed it to Li Changlong, saying, "Second Brother, tie him up and wait for the village chief to arrive."
Li Changlong tied Li Nianzi up securely, and the village chief, supported by Li Shoutian, came to the tent.
The village chief had just entered the village in an oxcart when Li Qingshan pulled him over and asked what had happened. His wrinkled face didn't look good either; such a thing had actually happened in the village under his jurisdiction.
Ultimately, it was Li Gou Dan who made the decision to divorce Qian Shi. Li Nianzi actually took a hoe and dug people up, which was clearly aimed at killing them.
Who in this village hasn't received kindness from the Lu family girl? This ungrateful wretch is going to ruin all the goodwill left by the old man.
When village chief Li Mu saw the millstone tied to the ground, Huang Shi kneeling and crying, and Lu Qiqi with a sullen face leading her male relatives to the door, he knew that this matter could not be resolved peacefully.
