Chapter 93 Eavesdropping
Upon hearing this, You Chatou just gave a cold look.
"Hurry up and clean up the mess so everyone can get some rest. We have to speed up our journey tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, the second master of the Chen family bowed again in gratitude.
"Yes, thank you very much, captains."
You Cha looked at Su Hanchu and his wife.
It took several officers to leave.
After all, she was the once glorious eldest lady of the Chen family and the legitimate eldest daughter of the Fang family. Soon, people from the Chen and Fang families helped carry Chen Fang to the resting place of the Chen family, and someone cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground.
Seeing that things ended like this, Su Hanchu and Jun Moye looked at each other, then Jun Moye pulled Su Hanchu to the fire to warm themselves. Neither of them spoke, but they both understood what each other was thinking.
At the Chen family's side, Chen Wenlin felt very depressed when he saw Chen Fangshi, who was covered in blood.
Fang Bailin and several people from the Fang family found some dry grass and started weaving straw mats. At the beginning, his tone was angry.
"Chen Wenlin, tell me, what happened? Why did my sister go to the Jun family with you, and come back to find a cold corpse?"
Chen Wenlin stayed by Chen Fang's side, using the little hot water he had to clean the blood off her face.
"Uncle, it's my fault for not being able to protect He'er. More and more people in our Chen family have died these days. You've seen that He'er's cold hasn't gotten better. We really have no other options, so we thought of going to the Jun family to negotiate.
Not only did they disdain future support, they also claimed Siyu Siting was already dead. I was stunned when I heard this, but I saw Su Hanchu say something to Fang He, who looked devastated. I was about to go over to help Fang He, but Jun Moye stopped me. When I came to my senses, I saw Fang Shi touch the stone statue, and it collapsed. You know what happened next.
Fang Bailin frowned when he heard this.
"How did He'er come across the statue? Try to recall what happened at that time."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wenlin recalled every detail of what happened.
"I can't explain it specifically, but I always feel like something's wrong. When Su Hanchu and Jun Moye started talking, they suddenly changed direction and stood opposite us, causing us to have our backs against the stone statue. Then, Su Hanchu seemed to be whispering something in Fang He's ear, and Fang He stepped back..."
Fang Bolin was in deep thought.
"This matter is definitely not simple. I'm afraid that by the time you went there, the Jun family had already planned to kill Fang He."
Then he glared at Chen Wenlin.
"You don't know what you were thinking. You and the Jun family have been at loggerheads for a long time. Why did you come here and cause my sister to lose her life?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Wenlin looked at Chen Fangshi with guilt in his eyes, then covered his face with his hands and spoke in a guilty and choked voice.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have accompanied her..."
The Chen family no longer has the money to bribe people, and Mrs. Fang, the eldest wife of the Fang family, is unwilling to give any money. She naturally wants to keep the money given by her parents for her children, so how can she spend it on a dead person, let alone a sister-in-law?
After the straw mat was finally woven, Chen Wenlin and Fang Bo took a few men with them, chose a place in the woods outside, dug a hole, wrapped Chen Fang in the straw mat and buried her.
Chen Wenlin sat in front of the mound with a sad look on his face.
"Fang He, why did you leave me alone? Please wait for me on the road to the underworld. I don't know how many days I can survive along the way."
Fang Bailin looked at his decadent appearance. After all, they were good friends who had known each other for many years. Even their names contained the word "Lin". When the parents of the two old friends named their children, they hoped that they would be able to help each other when they grew up. Moreover, he was his brother-in-law. In the end, he asked everyone else to go back first, then reached out and patted Chen Wenlin on the shoulder.
"Chen Wenlin, man up, pull yourself together. He'er's death is inextricably linked to the Jun family. If you still care about her, you should find a way to avenge her."
At the same time, Hu Juan, who was out collecting firewood, suddenly heard the conversation not far away. She hurriedly extinguished the firewood in her hand, slowly approached and listened carefully.
Chen Wenlin did not feel comforted at all after hearing Fang Bailin's words, but instead looked despair.
"Revenge is easier said than done. The Chen family is having a hard time surviving, so how can we seek revenge? Jun Moye and Su Hanchu are young, yet they're doing the devil's work..."
Fang Bailin interrupted him when he heard this.
"Look at your lack of ambition. You are totally not the Brother Wen Lin I know. Chen Wenlin, there is always hope for revenge. First of all, you have to live well."
Chen Wenlin wiped the corners of his eyes when he heard this.
"How can I take revenge? I have nothing left. Even Siyu and Siting, I don't even know if they are still alive."
Fang Bailin spoke in a deep voice.
"We have something in common."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wenlin looked up at Fang Bailin in surprise.
"Zhitong? Didn't Zhitong disappear when they encountered the bandits before? We haven't seen him in the mountain stronghold yet."
Fang Bailin looked around and spoke after hearing this.
"Originally, I was also deeply saddened by the loss of my son, but when I went out to buy groceries in the last town, I saw Zhitong. Zhitong was wounded by an arrow when the bandits came. He held his breath when the bandits checked him, so he was not taken to the stronghold.
He took advantage of the bandit rebellion to escape. He's now listed as dead, and he met a Northern Wing man with a special identity. As long as Zhitong can gain a foothold with that Northern Wing man, it will be easy for us to avenge He'er when we reach the northwest."
Chen Wenlin was shocked when he heard this.
"Beiyi people? Beiyi has been an enemy of Tianyuan for many years. If we work for Beiyi people, that would be..."
Fang Bailin interrupted Chen Wenlin coldly when he heard this.
"So what? It's impossible for our Fang family to truly become ordinary people and live a farming life. Moreover, so many people in the Fang family have died along the way, and now even my sister has lost her life. I will definitely not let Jun Moye and Su Hanchu go. No, not only that, one day I will return to the imperial city in glory and show the world what our Fang family should be like."
Hu Juan was shocked when she heard this. Was the Fang family actually going to join forces with the enemy country? Although she was a woman, she knew that associating with the enemy country was treasonous.
And from the sound of it, the first person they want to deal with is the young lady. No, I have to tell the young lady about this matter as soon as possible. I can't let her suffer any loss when she is caught off guard.
However, because he turned around too quickly and left, and the torch was out, leaving nothing to illuminate, he tripped and fell to the ground, falling on a dead branch, which made a sound of breaking branches.
“Crack…”
Seeing this, Fang Bailin shouted in panic and hurried forward to check.
"who?"
