Chapter 40: Just Knowing



As long as they can't find him, they can't blackmail their second sister.

The surrounding trees and weeds made his face sting.

Song Dong, however, did not care.

All he wants to do right now is hide himself away.

Bang.

Song Dong didn't know what he bumped into, but he felt a sharp pain in his head, and everything went black before his eyes. He lost consciousness.

This way.

When Song Xia arrived at the agreed-upon grove, she found it deserted and immediately began to search around.

Not long after.

She pulled out a piece of paper from under a tree.

It says on it that she should go into the mountains.

Go into the highest mountain here.

Song Xia took a deep breath, composed herself, and then headed towards the highest mountain.

Upon entering the mountains.

Song Xia noticed that the mountain was eerily quiet.

She didn't dare to be careless and kept observing her surroundings as she walked. Before long, she discovered the trap buried not far away.

She avoided the mountains and headed towards them.

We walked for a long time.

Song Xia didn't see a single person, only traces of someone walking by.

She followed the traces, but still couldn't find the person.

She was walking in the other direction.

When I was getting ready to go take a look.

A man's voice came from behind: "Brother, what should we do? What if she doesn't fall for it, and we can't find Song Dong..."

The speaker was none other than the young man from before.

His name is Qian Jinbao, and he is Qian Xiangxiang's second brother.

With him was his older brother, Qian Youbao.

Hearing this, Qian Youbao glared at him and snapped, "Shut up!"

Why can't we find Song Dong?

My younger brother ran away?

Thinking of this.

Song Xia hid herself, and when they came over, she suddenly appeared and quickly knocked them both to the ground.

"Tell me, where is my brother?"

Qian Jinbao really didn't expect Song Xia to be so capable; he thought those people were exaggerating.

He was debating whether or not to answer her.

Qian Laibao said, "If you want us to tell you, then give us the recipe for Zha Jiang Mian and those twenty taels of silver."

"You think you're qualified to negotiate with me now?"

"You want me to throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves, but you won't say anything!"

Song Xia said in a cold voice.

Qian Jinbao glanced at his older brother, and seeing his brother shake his head, he pursed his lips and ignored Song Xia.

Song Xia didn't waste any more words with them, and dragged one of them into the depths of the mountains.

Seeing that she was serious.

Qian Jinbao panicked: "Brother, should we tell her instead..."

"good!"

Qian Laibao was also afraid of death, so he immediately said, "Song Xia, we'll tell you where your brother is, but you have to promise that you'll let us go once we tell you."

"OK!"

Song Xia agreed.

Qian Laibao made up a place.

Song Xia opened her mouth and said, "I can release you, but only when you find my brother."

Qian Laibao: "..."

You bastard, you don't keep your word.

Qian Jinbao: "..."

Even my own older brother is pointing in the wrong direction, how am I supposed to find it!

He said or not.

Qian Laibao waited for a while but didn't hear him, and he was about to be driven crazy by him.

"The direction I just described was wrong. Song Dong must have rolled down from the pine forest on the right..."

Song Xia punched him in the face.

Qian Laibao tried to fight back, but took a few more punches, and then he finally quieted down.

Song Xia didn't forget Qian Laibao and punched him a few times as well.

He wasn't lying!

Why did you hit his brother and then hit him too!

Qian Jinbao felt extremely wronged.

Song Xia found it troublesome to drag them along, so she tied them with vines and pulled them along like exiled prisoners.

If one of them walks too slowly, they'll be hit.

I searched for who knows how long.

Song Xia finally spotted Song Dong lying motionless on a rock.

"Little brother!"

Song Xia grabbed Qian Laibao and the others and ran downstairs, not caring at all whether they lived or died.

They pulled and dragged it.

Song Xia came to Song Dong's side, and her heart sank when she touched the bloodstains beside her.

"Little brother!"

Song Xia saw no reaction from Song Dong and was certain that he was still breathing, but the wound on his forehead was still bleeding.

She took Qian Jinbao's undergarment and tied it around his head, then made a makeshift stretcher and had them carry him out of the mountain.

Qian Laibao was displeased: "You said..."

Song Xia kicked him, saying, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. You'd better pray my brother is alright, or you'll have a hard time..."

When they carried Song Dong out of the mountain.

Huo Lang happened to arrive with his men from the yamen.

After questioning them, the officials apprehended Qian Laibao and his companions and helped lift Song Dong onto the carriage.

The carriage that Song Xia, Huo Lang and Song Dong were riding in.

Song Xia kept staring at Song Dong.

Huo Lang apologized with self-reproach: "Miss Song Xia, I'm sorry. If I hadn't been careless, Song Dong wouldn't be in this state now."

To say he was careless is an overstatement.

Song Dong was also quite careless.

They even dared to follow strangers.

Song Xia didn't blame Huo Lang. After returning to town, she took Song Dong to the clinic where Fang Zheng worked.

Fang Zheng's legs are currently in the recovery period.

Song Xia did not tell him about this.

After the doctor's examination, it was found that Song Dong's head had been hit by a stone, resulting in blood accumulation in his brain. He was unsure whether this would lead to amnesia.

In addition, he had some internal injuries, it is unknown whether he was kicked or bumped into something.

Song Dong didn't wake up until the next day.

The yamen (government office) only arrested the people without interrogating them.

Song Dong woke up on the third day.

Seeing him wake up, Fang Xiu was overjoyed: "Son, you're finally awake! You scared your mother to death!"

"My son, do you still recognize your father?"

Song Laosi leaned closer and asked.

He was afraid that Song Dong would be mentally impaired by the accident.

Song Xia asked, "Little brother, how are you feeling?"

Song Chun and Song Qiu both came over to look at him.

Song Dong gagged and said, "Second sister, I feel so awful, my head is spinning, I feel like throwing up..."

He didn't lose his memory, but he did suffer a concussion.

He seemed a little annoyed.

Song Xia told them not to surround him too tightly, and she ran to call the old doctor.

The old doctor treated Song Dong and gave him acupuncture, which improved his condition.

The yamen sent someone to check on Song Dong again in the afternoon.

Song Xia didn't send him to the yamen for the time being. He would go in a couple of days when the situation improved.

Qian Jinbao and his group have already confessed.

Jiang Dujuan and Qian Xiangxiang couldn't even try to argue their way out of it.

They instructed Qian Laibao and his gang to kidnap Qian Dong and extort money from Song Xia, resulting in Qian Dong being injured.

After some deliberation, the town magistrate pronounced his sentence: "Jiang Dujuan and Qian Xiangxiang, you are both vicious and refused to confess after being arrested. Your crimes are heinous, and I hereby sentence you to prison..."

He hadn't even uttered his words of judgment yet.

Qian Xiangxiang cried out, "Sir, wait! This was all instigated by my mother. I only knew about it. Mother, please say something!"

She's already suffered so much; she can't go to jail any more.

If I go to jail.

Her life is truly over.

Jiang Dujuan realized what was happening and said, "Yes, yes, sir, my daughter only knew about it."

“Your two sons didn’t say that.”

"It is a deep voice," the town magistrate said.

Jiang Dujuan paused for a moment before replying, "What do they know? They! They have no idea what's going on. They just listened to me casually and did exactly what I said."

Yes, yes…

Qian Jinbao then changed his testimony, saying that he was not very clear about whether his sister was involved.

Qian Laibao chimed in.

Song Xia didn't say anything.

at last.

The town magistrate only sentenced Jiang Dujuan to two years in prison, Qian Jinbao and Qian Laibao to six months, and as for Qian Xiangxiang, who knew about the crime but failed to report it, she was given twenty strokes of the cane. She was to pay the compensation her family owed to Song Dong.

Ten taels of silver is not a lot, but it's not a small amount either.

I walked out of the government office.

Song Qiu walked beside Song Xia and said, "Second Sister, Qian Xiangxiang clearly knew about this. Are we just going to let it go like this?"
