Chapter 386 Even storybooks wouldn't dare write it like this

Shu Yu rattled off a string of words, and the villagers immediately understood.

Then, they looked at the Yuan family with subtle glances.

Village Chief Chen visibly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked reproachfully at the Yuan family elders, "You went too far! That's your own son. You knocked him unconscious, and then you come back and make up stories about him committing a crime. Do you think your lives are too easy?"

The two elders of the Yuan family exchanged a glance; they were equally bewildered.

But she quickly shook her head and denied it, saying, "We didn't use any force at all; she's lying."

“The person is still lying in bed, how is that a lie? Many villagers saw my fourth uncle vomiting blood.”

Outside the courtyard, villagers chimed in, "Yes, yes, Shanchuan was so angry that he vomited blood when he heard that you were going to sever ties with him."

The two elders of the Yuan family were speechless. Village Chief Chen snorted coldly, "Alright, everything has been explained now. Shan Chuan didn't do anything wrong, and he's perfectly fine. Don't bring up the matter of severing ties anymore."

The two elders of the Yuan family exchanged a glance but did not answer.

Village Chief Chen frowned. "What do you mean by this?"

Old Man Yuan couldn't help but look at the eldest son of the Yuan family, who said with a stern face, "The matter hasn't been explained yet, and we've been arrested and locked up for no reason. The house is in chaos. This is all the fault of the fourth son. Where has he been these past few days?"

The other members of the Yuan family chimed in, "That's right, did we suffer for nothing? In the end, we were implicated by the fourth brother."

Yuan Shanchuan, who was inside the house, could no longer bear to listen. He propped himself up and, with Xiao Zhen's help, slowly walked out. He leaned against the eaves and looked at his parents and brothers.

His face remained pale, and he coughed heavily twice, quickly attracting the attention of others.

The two elders of the Yuan family still didn't give him a friendly look. "Fourth son, tell me, where have you been these past few days? Why did the yamen say you committed a crime?"

Regarding this matter, Yuan Shanchuan and the others naturally had a unified account.

He spoke in a hoarse voice, "A month ago, three murders occurred in the Zhao family in the west of the city. I'm sure you've all heard about it."

The group exchanged bewildered glances. Of course, they had heard about this incident. It was said that blood had flowed like a river in the Zhao family's house, and the stench of blood filled the air, causing the neighboring families to move away in fear, no longer daring to live there.

This matter has had a very negative impact, and the authorities are taking it very seriously.

Is this related to him?

Sure enough, Yuan Shanchuan continued, "I happened to be nearby at the time and saw the murderer. After killing someone, he fled, and I secretly chased after him. But after chasing him out of the city, he discovered me. He then tried to kill me. I narrowly avoided vital organs and survived, but I was seriously injured and pushed off a cliff. Luckily, I was caught in a tree and was rescued."

Shu Yu covered her face; this was such a familiar, melodramatic plot.

Unfortunately, for the villagers of Daxu Village, Yuan Shanchuan's experience was incredibly dangerous and tortuous. Moreover, he was truly lucky to survive. He was seriously injured but did not die. He fell off a cliff and was caught by tree branches, and was rescued in time. Even the most popular folk tales wouldn't dare to write such a story.

Therefore, everyone listened with great interest.

"And then what? Why did the authorities start arresting your family?"
