Could it be that they were robbed?
Yue Jiuyue could only think of this. After all, Huang Banxian had just performed divination for so many people, and he must have made a lot of money. It was normal for him to be targeted by people with ulterior motives.
After all, robbery is the fastest way to make money, and there's no shortage of people who just want something for nothing.
Yue Jiuyue ignored what was happening outside and just held Xiaoman'er, gently coaxing her. She was quite frightened by what had just happened, and Xiaoman'er would only be more scared. She had to comfort her now and pay close attention to her at night, as she might develop a fever.
Outside, Lin Chaonan took a few steps toward Huang Banxian lying on the ground and smelled the pungent stench of alcohol, knowing that the man had drunk too much.
He crouched down, wanting to check the other person's breathing to see if he was alive or dead, but unexpectedly the other person grabbed his wrist, muttering, "Save me, save me."
Lin Chaonan was startled to be suddenly grabbed on the wrist by a "dead man." He immediately shook off the hand and took several steps back.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Third Brother?"
Lin Chaobei, whose hand was stepped on, cried out in pain. He was no longer limp or weak. He turned his head to look at Lin Chaonan and accidentally saw Huang Banxian lying in the middle of the road. He didn't bother to ask Lin Chaonan what was wrong. As soon as Lin Chaonan moved his foot away, he immediately went to settle accounts with Huang Banxian in a fierce manner.
"What's wrong with you? You're tired of living and looking for death? If you don't want to live, there are many ways to die, but you had to run into my carriage. What, trying to extort money from me again!"
After Huang Banxian left, Yue Jiuyue told them about the time Huang Banxian tried to stage an accident. She knew that the old man would do anything to swindle money. She didn't expect that he would still be so greedy after swindling so many people. How could she tolerate that?
Besides, it was because of him that his whole family almost...
Lin Chaobei didn't even dare to imagine what would have happened to his mother and niece if his third brother, who was driving the oxcart, hadn't come to help in time.
Thinking of this, Lin Chaobei's anger surged, and he kicked Huang Banxian, who was still muttering "Save me," without any hesitation.
"Hmm!"
Huang Banxian was kicked so hard he went from lying down to sitting up. The spot where he was kicked made a "crack" sound. Of course, no one cared. As long as no one died, Yue Jiuyue didn't care whether Lin Chaobei was bullying the old man or not.
She's still in shock and has to comfort her eldest granddaughter; she has no time to care whether the culprit who harmed them has broken a rib.
The pain seemed to bring Huang Banxian back to his senses. He gasped for breath, staring wide-eyed at Lin Chaobei, and, without even recognizing him, called out to him:
"Help me! Help me!"
Lin Chaobei: ≡￣﹏￣≡
Suddenly, I couldn't bring myself to kick it a second time.
He had just wanted to kick that old man, who only knew how to swindle money and almost killed them, to death.
But when he saw the other person's outstretched hand and the way they were desperately trying to survive, he felt sorry for them, thinking how pitiful they were to be in such a state at their age!
Lin Chaobei couldn't help but take a step back, continuing his tirade with a fierce but weak tone:
"You're all so old, stop thinking about cheating and swindling all day long. You were lucky to run into me this time, and that my family was alright. Otherwise, you would have been in big trouble!"
After making those harsh words, Lin Chaobei darted to Lin Chaonan's side and whispered:
"Third Brother, what should we do with this guy?"
