Chapter 118: Driven Out
Li Yuan thought that he could find out some news when he arrived in the county town.
But before they even reached the county town, they met the returning yamen runners, the Gu family, and the villagers.
When the two parties met each other, they were both a little surprised.
"You...you are not dead?" Li Ye asked in surprise. After all, it was broad daylight and the sun was at its zenith, and the shadows on the ground were clearly visible.
But ghosts have no shadows.
"Why are you here?" asked the bailiff Feng Kui.
"We...we...Siyan has a stomachache, let's take her to the county to check it out." Li Yuan explained.
Lin Siyan also nodded, "Yes... yes."
However, everyone heard Li Ye's words clearly.
Gu Mingjing curled his lips, his eyes revealing undisguised contempt. "Mr. Li, you didn't think we were dead and that you were afraid of falling into the hands of bandits, so you took your families and ran away, right?"
He looked back and said, "Who goes to see a doctor? He's wearing all the food and utensils, including pots and pans. Do you think we are fools?"
"That's right!" Liuzi shouted, "How dare you escape without permission?"
He was just dissatisfied with the Li family before, but after this incident, the difference between the Li and Gu families became apparent. One cared about the world and the people, while the other was afraid of death and always wanted to escape.
So at this moment, he also lost his good attitude towards the Li family.
"No...it's not us, it's...it's that damn girl, Li Mumu. Did Li Mumu say you were dead?"
Old Lady Li said hurriedly, "We're not running away. Look at the direction we're heading. We're heading north, really."
"How could Mumu say we were dead?" Liuzi asked coldly.
After Luo Geng's death, his subordinates lost their backbone and no longer dared to take Liuzi lightly.
"Really? If you don't believe me, let's go back and ask her." Zhao said loudly.
Li Yuan also explained, "We also thought about taking Yu Ru and the others away, but they refused to leave."
"Yes, they won't leave, so why should you leave?" Liuzi asked again, "Aren't you just afraid of death? Even if we really die, they will swear to protect the villagers to the death, and you..."
Liuzi didn't say anything else, but there was no need to say anything more.
Even the common people looked down upon Li Yuan.
"He's still a great general, but he'd be so scared fighting a battle that he'd pee his pants!"
"Isn't it? Otherwise, how could we have lost the battle?"
"The disaster is that they have implicated General Gu's family."
Li Yuan's face turned red and white, and his gaze turned to Lin Siyan.
Lin Siyan was so scared that she kept swallowing her saliva, "I...I really have a stomachache."
"Pah!" Old Madam Li spat a mouthful of thick phlegm in her face. "You're the evil spirit, it's all your fault. Didn't you say the baby in your belly is in danger? Danger is bullshit. The big one is harmful to people, and the small one is also a nuisance."
Lin Siyan shook her head, but in return she was slapped by Mrs. Li.
Zhao had been involved in the arrangements, but now, in order to shirk responsibility, she stood on the same front with Old Lady Li and pushed Lin Siyan, "Mom is right, it's all your fault."
"Ouch...hiss..." Lin Siyan was pushed hard to the ground, and her little face was twisted in pain.
"Don't pretend, I didn't use any force." Zhao said.
"It hurts, my stomach hurts so much." Lin Siyan shouted weakly.
"It would be best if you died of pain." Old Mrs. Li said hatefully.
"Brother Yuan, my stomach really hurts."
Li Yuan pulled back his sleeve and asked, "How many times are you going to use this trick?"
Lin Siyan felt aggrieved. She was fake just now, but this time it was real.
The yamen runners had already taken the Li family back. Lin Siyan took a long time to get up from the cold ground and stumbled behind them.
Where can I go if I don’t leave?
If she leaves the team, she will die.
But her stomach really hurt.
After everyone returned to the village, Old Man Tian was eager to thank them.
The people of other families were also happy, as the two huge mountains that were pressing down on them were finally overturned.
"I have a chicken at home. I'm going to kill it and feed it to my benefactors."
"I still have a pig at home that I can't fatten. Why wait for the New Year? I can just slaughter it and eat the meat."
Even those who had made sarcastic remarks before were now happy to prepare food because they had finally gotten rid of their biggest worry.
The villagers were so kind that they couldn't refuse. Liuzi and the yamen runners were also very happy. They had not been so enthusiastic before.
At this time, heavy snow began to fall again, so Liuzi told everyone to rest for a night before continuing, as they were not far from their destination anyway.
The Gu family was naturally in a warm house, and the kang was so hot that Li Mumu felt like her butt was almost roasted.
The Li family thought that although they could not enter the house, they could at least rest at the Tian family and avoid the wind and snow.
But when the Li family encountered danger, they ran faster than rabbits, and Old Man Tian didn't want to care about them at all. He even thought it was unlucky to give them the firewood room.
Not only their family, but the entire village refused to accept them. They had no choice but to pitch a tent in the village and live there.
But when moving things, Lin Siyan didn't move.
Zhao and Sun thought she was lazy and started to punish her.
If she hadn't been acting like a spoiled child and said she had a stomachache, maybe they would be sitting on the warm kang right now.
After kicking them, they didn't care and continued moving things.
Unexpectedly, Lin Siyan didn't react at all. Even after all the things were moved away, Li Yuan saw that she still didn't move.
"Everything is ready, why are you still pretending here?" Li Yuan said with disgust.
However, the only answer he got was Lin Siyan's extremely weak voice, "It hurts, it hurts so much..."
Li Yuan frowned. "You're doing this again, Lin Siyan. What a time it is now. Do you think I'll believe you?"
"I don't!"
"If you don't have any, then get up!" Li Yuan regretted at this moment, why did he give up his wife and children for such a woman? "Apologize to mother and everyone else, don't take advantage of the fact that you are pregnant and act like a spoiled brat. It's all your fault that we are like this."
"Brother Yuan... my stomach hurts..."
Li Yuan lost his patience and said, "You are truly hopeless."
After saying that, he turned away.
Lin Siyan lay on the ground, her head spinning, her eyelids growing heavier, and the baby in her belly kicking her tummy anxiously.
"Third brother, I'm telling you you should have done this a long time ago. She's just a woman, and you're letting her get away with it?" Zhao said angrily, "She's hurt us like this, and she still thinks she's right?"
"That's right, let her freeze outside and forget about coming in." Li Rong said angrily.
Sun didn't say anything, but her eyes were cold.
Old Mrs. Li snorted coldly and asked everyone to get some firewood. Even if they hid in the tent, it would still be very cold.
"I'm talking to you. What are you doing standing there?" Li Rong looked at the youngest, Li Fenghua, unhappily. "You're the most useless person in our family."
