Chapter 125: Ask for an Explanation
Lin Xi's heart was shocked, and he stared at the person in front of him, his mind working rapidly.
She had never dealt with Lei Jin before, and she didn't know how they had developed such a big grudge against each other. Looking at his expression, he would definitely not let her go today.
"Lei Jin, if you touch me today, you'd better think about whether you can afford the consequences!" Lin Xi growled.
Lei Jin's mind was occupied by other thoughts at the moment, and he couldn't hear Lin Xi's words at all.
"Stop talking nonsense. You are crying out to the heavens and the earth for help but no one will respond." Lei Jin grinned, and his hands became more brazen. "What's so good about Xiao Yongyan, that gigolo? If you follow me, I won't let you suffer so much."
Lin Xi almost cursed. What right did Lei Jin have to say that?
The things in the system backpack can be taken out at any time. Apart from other things, the machete alone is enough to escape from trouble.
But if that happens, wouldn't she be killing someone?
Lin Xi was in a state of confusion, and there was a hint of indecision in her struggle. After all, she was a person from modern civilized society, and killing someone still put a great psychological burden on her.
However, Lei Jin had already torn off her sleeves, as if he wanted to tie her to the tree.
She struggled desperately, and Lei Jin became annoyed and stuffed a piece of cloth directly into Lin Xi's mouth.
"Mmmmm!"
Lin Xi was speechless and was so angry that he felt like vomiting blood. It seemed that mercy was no longer possible. If he didn't resist, who knows what would happen next.
Just when Lin Xi was about to take out the hatchet, his eyes suddenly flickered.
Lei Jin, who had bad intentions just now, was instantly sent flying and fell far away in the jungle, where he lay on the ground with a look of pain.
"Xi'er, are you okay?" Xiao Yongyan kicked Lei Jin away and hurried over to check on Lin Xi's condition.
Hearing the familiar voice, a huge sense of security surged in Lin Xi's heart, and she fell into Xiao Yongyan's arms as if exhausted.
If he had come a step later today, he might have seen the executioner with a knife and axe.
Although it was for self-protection, she really had the intention to kill.
"Xier, how are you?" Xiao Yongyan became even more worried when he saw Lin Xi's condition.
He had suffered all kinds of hardships during his exile, but he had never seen Lin Xi look like this.
Not far away, Lei Jin struggled to get up.
Seeing this, Lin Xi shrank back subconsciously. She almost, almost got...
Xiao Yongyan narrowed his eyes, put Lin Xi safely on the horse's back, and then walked in front of Lei Jin.
Lei Jin had never seen Xiao Yongyan look so horrible before, and he knelt down and begged for mercy, "I'm sorry, big brother, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again!"
At this time, Lin Xi on horseback regained some composure and spoke with difficulty, "Xiao Yongyan, let the head of the village handle today's matter, don't interfere."
Xiao Yongyan frowned, obviously disagreeing with Lin Xi's point of view. He now wanted to grind this man to ashes. If he didn't care about it, he would probably never be able to live with it for the rest of his life.
"Xiao Yongyan." Lin Xi's tone was pleading. She knew Xiao Yongyan was upset, but Hang Qi was watching her closely at every step. If she was not careful, this man would find a reason to make trouble for her. She could not take this risk.
Although he was reluctant, Xiao Yongyan finally followed Lin Xi's wishes and let Lei Jin go temporarily, but tied him up.
Xiao Yongyan held the rope while he sat on the horse, holding Lin Xi tightly in his arms, fearing that anything else might go wrong.
Lin Xi leaned in Xiao Yongyan's arms and closed her eyes in peace, "How did you come so quickly?"
There was no movement above my head for a long time.
"I just hate that I didn't come fast enough." Xiao Yongyan's voice was suppressed, filled with anger and self-blame.
Besides scaring himself, Xiao Yongyan seemed to be frightened by what happened today.
Zhao Tan's home.
Xiao Yongyan took Lei Jin all the way to the headman's house and received strange looks from passers-by.
There were even quite a few people who followed Xiao Yongyan and his group and blocked the door of the village head's house.
"Village head, you have to make the decision for me!" Lin Xi stood at the door and began to cry.
When the people of Zhaotan sit at home, good things come to them from heaven.
I walked out of the door in confusion, and saw that my house was surrounded by people.
"What's going on?" Zhao Tan frowned.
"It's all Lei Jin's fault. He had bad intentions and bullied me, a decent woman." Lin Xi cried.
Although her words were a little vague, everyone knew what was going on between men and women.
Seeing Lin Xi's beauty, Lei Jin had some inappropriate thoughts. While there was no one around the silkworm house, he was about to do something bad. Fortunately, he was interrupted by Xiao Yongyan who came over.
Cui Hongyue was so angry that she stood up and pointed at Lei Jin and cursed, "You son of a bitch, you said nice things when you came here, saying that you wanted to come and help, and begged the boss to take you in. But you actually planned this behind my back, you black-hearted thing, I, I must beat you to death today!"
Cui Hongyue became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and she picked up a stone on the ground and wanted to throw it at him.
Fortunately, he was stopped by people around him. If he had really hit him, I'm afraid there would have been blood all over the place.
Seeing the scene becoming more and more chaotic, Zhao Tan snorted, "Lei Jin, are they telling the truth?"
Lei Jin was tied up and facing Xiao Yongyan's icy face, he didn't dare to tell a lie at all.
His silence was seen as tacit agreement by those around him.
"Village head, now that everything is clear, you have to make the decision for me." Lin Xi saw the right moment and started crying again.
The villagers also talked about this.
"This Lei Jin usually talks nonsense to others, but I didn't expect him to be so bold and actually take action!"
"Are you crazy? The man is a scholar. He probably thinks he's fine. Isn't it said that people who study have no strength?"
When Lei Jin heard this, his whole body ached. He thought that he had no strength as a scholar, bah, Xiao Yongyan was so strong that he was about to kill him.
"Damn it, what kind of scholar is Xiao Yongyan? He just knows a few words. Why doesn't he take the exam for the scholar when others are taking it?"
In the crowd, Dai Lan'er and Dai Jin'er were almost furious. Without even trying to reason with the man, they simply picked up the broken stones on the ground and threw them at Lei Jin.
Lei Jin immediately became unhappy, "Who hit me! Who!"
Xiao Yongyan was ridiculed in public, but he was not angry. "You are right. I am just a scholar. But there is one thing. Studying does not necessarily mean I have no strength."
As he said that, Xiao Yongyan punched Lei Jin in the stomach.
At this moment, Zhao Tan, who had been pretending to be dead, suddenly became active, "Xiao Yongyan, the matter has not been investigated clearly yet, what are you doing?"
Lin Xi stopped crying. She now understood clearly that Zhao Tan did not even bother to hide his different treatment of them.
"Village head, I have something to ask you. As a member of Taoli Village, I have been bullied by the villagers. Instead of punishing me, you are holding me accountable. Is there such a thing in the world?" Lin Xi asked.
