Chapter 30 Injured
After Li Mazi grabbed the hoe, he looked at Xu Zhiyi lying on the ground and laughed, "Haha, you still want my legs? Do you really think you are like the Li Mazi you tied up that day?"
"Hehe! Today I, Li Mazi, will take revenge for what happened that day."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi glanced at Li Mazi coldly: "Really? It's a pity that you met me, you are destined to be unlucky!"
As he said that, he quickly stood up, rushed towards Li Mazi, raised his left leg and attacked him fiercely under the crotch, but he was unexpectedly dodged and he only kicked his thigh.
Li Mazi ignored the pain and raised the hoe to hit Xu Zhiyi.
Seeing this, Su, who was standing by, glanced at the stick not far away, quickly got up, picked up the stick, ran towards the two people who were fighting, raised the stick and hit Li Mazi hard from behind.
"Ah! Damn it, you're looking for death!"
"ah!"
"mother!!"
Li Mazi turned around, swinging his hoe, and knocked Su to the ground.
Xu Zhiyi clenched his fist and was about to hit Li Mazi in the abdomen. Li Mazi picked up the hoe and swung it directly at Xu Zhiyi, but Xu Zhiyi cleverly avoided it.
After Xu Zhiyi dodged, he kicked Li Mazi several times quickly, accurately and ruthlessly. Then, while he was in pain, he snatched the hoe and rudely hit his legs with the hoe, knocking him to the ground.
"ah!"
"Heh! What do you think? Do you want to die? I'll grant your wish?"
Li Mazi rolled on the ground in pain, knowing that he could not win, he begged for mercy: "No, no, no, as long as you let me go, I will never come near you again"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi said coldly, "Okay! But you have to let me vent my anger, right?"
As he said that, he kicked him hard twice in the crotch.
"Ah!!" Li Mazi covered his crotch with both hands, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Xu Zhiyi warned in a low voice: "Humph, today we are even. If you dare to pester me again, I will fight you to the death. It depends on whether you want to fight to the death or whether I dare to take your life."
Then, regardless of Li Mazi who was about to faint from the pain, he went over to help Su who was knocked to the ground and asked, "Mom, are you hurt?" Then he lifted up her sleeve and saw that her arm was covered with bruises.
Su came back to her senses, grabbed Xu Zhiyi's hand and looked at it, then tore off a piece from the hem of her clothes and said distressedly: "Zhiyi, your palm is scratched! Hurry up and tie it up with this cloth."
Xu Zhiyi looked at the torn cloth. Because water was precious now, clothes would only be washed when they could no longer be worn. If the wound was wrapped with such dirty cloth, it would be better not to wrap it at all.
"Mom, there's no need to wrap the wound. It's hot now and wrapping it will suffocate the wound and make it difficult to heal."
Su heard this and really believed it. She took back the cloth strip and said, "Is that so? Then let's not wrap it."
Xu Zhiyi: "It's okay, just a minor scratch, not much bleeding, I'll take care of it when I get home"
The two of them supported each other and turned around, and saw Shen Wuyou who was stunned not far away. When they got closer, Xu Zhiyi asked curiously: "Why are you here?"
Generally, few villagers come to this mountain, because this mountain is where the graves of the villagers who have passed away are laid.
Shen Wuyou: "I originally wanted to go to Xu's house to find you, but on the way I heard the villagers gossiping and found out that you had broken off relations with the Xu family. Then someone said that they saw you and your mother going to the grave! So I came to take a look."
After saying that, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Ah! Don't worry, I didn't see anything."
He had just arrived at the foot of the mountain when he unexpectedly saw Xu Zhiyi kicking Li Mazi hard in the crotch twice. He even felt his crotch hurting as well.
Xu Zhiyi didn’t warn him much, he just looked at Shen Wuyou and asked puzzledly: “You came to me on purpose? Is there something wrong?”
Shen Wuyou's face flushed when he heard this, and he lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "I... I wanted to thank you for your help that day, and I will return the money you gave me that day."
As he said this, he handed a purse to Xu Zhiyi.
Xu Zhiyi looked at the purse handed over, took it and opened it, and saw that there were five taels of silver in it. She was so scared that she quickly stuffed it back into his hand: "Five taels of silver? How many times are you going to pay me back? Take it back quickly, I only want the three hundred coins I spent on you that day, I won't take more than that."
Xu Zhiyi saw that his complexion was not so bad anymore, thinking that the medicine was effective! And the swelling on his face was almost gone!
But, how could someone who was so poor that he had to eat Guanyin soil return her five taels of silver in just a few days? Could it be that... he had gone astray?
Thinking of this, he asked tactfully: “Chen Wuyou, you didn’t sell your family property just to pay me back the three hundred coins, did you?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Wuyou quickly explained: "Miss Xu, don't misunderstand, my money definitely came from a clean source."
"I... I don't mean anything else. I just want to thank you for helping me when I was in the most difficult time that day."
"Now that you have left the Xu family, I heard that the Xu family didn't give you anything. I thought that since I have enough money on hand, I would lend it to you for emergency."
Xu Zhiyi: "No, I can still handle it now. If I really need your help, I will definitely not be polite to you."
Seeing her firm attitude, Shen Wuyou had no choice but to hand over the three hundred coins from that day, but he still said worriedly: "Miss Xu, if you have any difficulties, you must tell me, I will definitely help if I can."
Xu Zhiyi nodded seriously after hearing this: "Well, thank you in advance! I won't be polite when the time comes."
“You don’t have to be polite to me. I mean, you are also my savior, so there’s no need to be so formal.” Shen Wuyou blushed and waved his hand.
"Yeah, okay."
Then he thought of the man called San Ye that he saw before going to the grave today, and looked at Shen Wuyou and reminded him: "Shen Wuyou, I just saw San Ye in a house in the village. I don’t know if that is your uncle’s house. If so, will they still not give up? Be careful, don’t get into trouble"
Shen Wuyou heard this and immediately became serious: “Thank you, I won’t. I was deceived before because I trusted this so-called uncle too much. Now, we will only be enemies, and he can’t deceive me anymore!”
"That's good. Then my mother and I will go back first!"
"good"
Then the two said goodbye, Xu Zhiyi supported Su with one hand and held the hoe with the other.
Su turned her head and looked at Shen Wuyou who was walking away. Her eyes moved and she said softly, "Zhiyi! This young man looks so handsome. Why didn't mother pay more attention to the young men of marriageable age in the village before? This young man is even better looking than Gu Yun."
"I just don't know if he is engaged? If so..."
Xu Zhiyi heard what Su was going to say next, and quickly interrupted her, "Mom, don't think about it! I'm only looking for a son-in-law for your daughter. Would Shen Wuyou be so careless as to come to our thatched cottage to be a son-in-law? You also said that he is handsome, so he would be afraid that he can't get a wife?"
Su heard this and felt that it was true. She immediately felt depressed and asked worriedly, "Zhiyi, are you saying that if we want to recruit a son-in-law, we can only recruit someone who is too ugly to find a wife? Only men like that will be willing to come to our house?"
Oh, in that case, she actually hopes Zhiyi can get married, at least marry a handsome man. If she marries an ugly one, the baby she will give birth to in the future will look like the father instead of the mother. Huh.
Xu Zhiyi: "Mom, don't worry! I also like your daughter's appearance. If she's too ugly, I won't like her at all. But we may not be able to find a pretty one, so we have to find someone who looks decent and is a down-to-earth person. For life, it's enough to be decent."
Su: "That's good, it's okay, you are only sixteen now anyway, take your time to choose, don't rush, it's okay to wait two years"
Xu Zhiyi heard this and cried in her heart, Ah! Two years later? She wanted to do it! But she had to flee the famine in less than 20 days! If she didn't register her household registration before fleeing the famine, she would have to live with the Xu family again.
If a female household was not established before fleeing the famine, the household registration and travel permit would be in the hands of the Xu family. Who knows if the Xu family would do something unscrupulous on the road?
After returning home, Su returned the hoe! Xu Zhiyi hurried back to the room to treat the wound and found a relatively clean piece of cloth from the bag.
He casually took out the stone from his sleeve pocket, then rolled up his sleeves, and sure enough, his arm was scratched!
At this time, Xu Zhiyi was only focused on the wound and did not notice that the stone she placed on the bed was emitting a bright white light after being stained with the blood from the wound on her palm.
