In the 21st century, Chen Qingqing transmigrated to become cannon fodder in Nanshan Village of the Great Ning Dynasty. In a year of famine and a waning moon, her wicked grandmother, to support her ...
Chapter 315 Saving People is Important
The carriage sped all the way to Qingshui Town.
Chen Qingqing frowned, looking puzzled and asked, "Mr. Wang, what happened to my brother? Is he sick?"
Wang Decai sighed with regret and told the lie he had prepared long ago.
"It's like this. Yesterday, several of our shopmates got together for a small gathering. Unexpectedly, your eldest brother showed up and insisted on having a drink with everyone.
He said that he was about to leave the restaurant and would no longer work there, and said goodbye to everyone.
We didn't want to drink at that time, but your eldest brother said that if we didn't drink, we would be looking down on him. So we had no choice but to drink a glass with him.
I thought your elder brother would stop here, but he held on to the wine jar and refused to let go.
We tried to persuade him to drink less, but he wouldn't listen. We had no choice but to let him drink to his heart's content.
At that time, he was staggering from drunkenness, and we wanted to help him go to the house to sleep, but your eldest brother refused, saying that he had money, plenty of money, and he had to find a place to have fun.
He also said that you are capable, can make sugar, and have medical skills. He will be a rich young man in the future and will marry three wives and four concubines to serve him. Today, you have to go to that brothel to learn how to control women.
We were afraid that something might happen to him, so we dragged him back to the house.
But your eldest brother kept cursing and pointing at us, telling us not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise he would be rude to us. We were so scared that we didn't dare to go forward.
He staggered out of the restaurant, and as it was getting dark, we were worried he might get into trouble, so we told him to go back to sleep. But he picked up a stone and started throwing it at us, scaring us so much that we didn't dare to follow him..."
As he spoke more and more outrageously, Chen Qingqing frowned slightly. As far as she knew, Chen Feng was a man of integrity and ambition, and he would never say such outrageous words.
After observing Wang Decai carefully, he saw that his eyes were evasive and erratic, so he interrupted him coldly, "Mr. Wang, my elder brother is an upright person. He can't be the person you say he is. Don't talk nonsense."
Wang Decai's heart trembled. Seeing Chen Qingqing staring at him sharply, his breathing tightened, but he quickly calmed down.
"Miss Chen, why would I lie to you? Your eldest brother did say that, and it was because we didn't dare to follow that such a big incident happened.
After your eldest brother left the restaurant, we went back to the store to get busy.
When it was almost closing time, we found that your brother had not returned yet, so our shop owner got anxious and asked me to take a few people out to look for him.
We searched almost every street and lane, but could not find your brother. When we were walking back,
We heard someone say that the handyman from Qingfeng Restaurant was lying in the ditch, so we hurried over to take a lantern and shine it over.
I saw your eldest brother lying in the stinking ditch, covered in wounds."
"What happened? Why was he injured?" Chen Qingqing was extremely anxious.
Wang Decai wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"That person said that Chen Feng molested a young woman on the street and was seen by the woman's husband. He called a few people to beat up your brother and then threw him into the stinking ditch.
When we arrived, your eldest brother was breathing more than breathing in. The shopkeeper called a doctor, who asked us to notify the family to prepare for the funeral.
The shopkeeper is so anxious that he asked me to come and inform you, Miss Chen, you must hold on!"
"No, my elder brother will be fine." Chen Qingqing murmured to herself. It was impossible for her elder brother to die.
She didn't believe what Wang Decai said at all.
In the original owner's memory, Chen Feng was honest and loyal, and would never do such a dirty thing.
But what happened to him? Why was he beaten so badly?
Various speculations kept popping up in her mind.
Is it true, as some people say, that Chen Feng, drunk and immoral, molested a decent woman? Or is there something else going on?
Chen Qingqing couldn't wait to get to town. She kept urging them, "Hurry up, hurry up."
Finally, the carriage stopped at Qingshui Restaurant.
Before the carriage stopped, Chen Qingqing jumped out impatiently and almost fell down.
She ran towards the side door of the restaurant.
As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Wu Shiren coming out in a panic, "Miss Chen, you're finally here. Hurry and take a last look at your elder brother. He's probably going to die soon."
Although Chen Qingqing was anxious, she remained calm and nodded slightly, "Thank you, Manager Wu."
Wu Shiren felt uneasy, "Miss Chen, please follow me."
In the shack.
Chen Feng was lying on the makeshift broken wooden bed, curled up and motionless, as if he was in great pain.
Blood was oozing out of the cracked mouth and forehead, the eyes were no longer visible in the bruised eye sockets, and there were bright red slap marks on the filthy face.
His clothes were torn to pieces, and his exposed skin was covered with scars.
Chen Qingqing's heart was gripped tightly. She didn't know what Chen Feng had been through.
Her heart ached, she suppressed her trembling hands and gently took Chen Feng's pulse.
The pulse is so weak that it is almost impossible to feel, like a candle in the wind, which may go out at any time.
She knew that Chen Feng's injury could not be delayed. If he was not treated, he might stop breathing at any time.
But in front of so many people, she couldn't activate the space, so she had to get these people away first.
As long as he is brought back to life, all the questions will be answered one by one.
Chen Qingqing's eyes regained their former wisdom and tranquility, and she said to Wu Shiren in a cold voice, "Shopkeeper Wu, please go out first. I need to see my eldest brother."
Wu Shiren's face turned pale. This girl is really good at treating illnesses. If her medical skills can save Chen Feng, that would be great. Otherwise, he must delay the time and must not let Chen Feng live.
He pretended to be sad and said, "Miss Chen, your elder brother is no longer able to live. You should take him home quickly so that your parents can see him again."
Chen Qingqing's eyebrows were stern, "Nonsense, my brother will be fine."
"Oh, Miss Chen, I know you're worried about your brother and can't accept this fact." Wu Shiren started talking nonsense. "We called a doctor a long time ago, but he took one look and turned away, saying that even a great immortal couldn't save him. That's why I hurriedly notified you to come and take your brother home."
"I said, my elder brother is fine. Please go out immediately. I want to see a doctor for him." Chen Qingqing insisted.
Wu Shiren didn't give her a chance at all, and his face immediately turned cold. "No, you have to get rid of him quickly. It would be unlucky if he died in our store."
Wang Decai also tried to persuade her, "Miss Chen, we run a shop and do business. If someone dies here, who will come to eat here in the future?"
Others followed suit.
"Fortunately, we discovered it in time, otherwise your brother would have been eaten by wild dogs."
"That's right. We went to great lengths to get him back, and you didn't even say a word of gratitude. But you even wanted him to die in the store. Do you have any conscience at all?"
"That's right. How can this girl not know what's good for her? If we had known this, we might as well have left it alone. She might have been gnawed by wild dogs until she was left with only a pile of bones."
"We're not after fame or profit, so just treat it as nonsense. You'd better get rid of them quickly."
