Chapter 110 Venting for My Wife
Twenty or thirty men in the village and seven or eight male educated youth from the educated youth site began to search the mountains for people with torches or flashlights.
At this time, Lizhan's advantage in reconnaissance and survival experience as a guerrilla in the southern jungles became apparent.
He did not search with the others, but searched at his own pace. Based on the information such as the location and time when Xu Jiayuan was last seen in the village, he quickly found the secret path into the mountain.
The sun was shining brightly these past few days, the snow had melted a lot, and the ground was a little muddy. He discovered that in addition to the man's footprints, there was another pair of women's footprints.
Following the footprints all the way inside, we found some crushed bushes and faint sounds coming from the steep slope next to the bushes.
And all the footprints come to an abrupt end here.
Lizhan quickly got down the steep slope and saw Xu Jiayuan lying in the snow, dying. One of his legs was injured when he fell!
"Help...Help! Please...save me..."
Hearing the noise, Xu Jiayuan shouted anxiously but weakly.
Li Zhan snorted coldly and walked over.
Even he couldn't help but admire the dog's good fortune. The bottom of the steep slope was surrounded by acacias and other thorny bushes, so wild animals rarely came here. Otherwise, he would have been eaten by wild animals without leaving any residue!
But... Lizhan frowned. Why is Xu Jiayuan's face so swollen? It's not much better than a pig's head, and there's blood coming out of his nose and mouth. It's as miserable as it can be.
Li Zhan squatted down and looked at Xu Jiayuan with cold eyes.
Only then did Xu Jiayuan see clearly that the person who came was none other than Li Zhan!
It was all Xia Juanjuan's fault that he became like this! Now that her man is here, how can he save him!
"You...what do you want? It was Xia Juanjuan who asked you to kill people to silence them, right? I'm warning you! If anything happens to me, you will have to pay with your lives!"
Lizhan narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Juanjuan?"
Xu Jiayuan spoke incoherently, "It was...Xia Juanjuan who pushed me down here! She was cheating on me in the county town, she's no longer a virgin! She seduced me to come to the mountains and wanted to have an affair with me...Ahhhh!"
Before he could finish his words, Li Zhan stepped on his injured leg.
With a "crack", the leg bone, which was originally just a fracture, broke directly.
Li Zhan looked down at him with a smile on his face, and said in a cold voice: "What? Say it again, I didn't hear you clearly."
As he spoke, he looked around and found a large rock. He kicked it over and it landed on the ankle of Xu Jiayuan's other foot.
Xu Jiayuan was in so much pain that he felt like he was pulled out of water, his whole body was covered in cold sweat. He looked at Li Zhan doing these things in a daze, not knowing what he wanted to do: "It was Xia Juanjuan who pushed me down, ah ah ah ah..."
"Crack!" The other intact leg was also broken.
Xu Jiayuan fainted from the pain.
Li Zhan pinched his philtrum and woke him up from his coma: "Well... say it again."
Xu Jiayuan finally reacted. He cried so hard that his tears and snot flowed together. He said in a trembling voice: "It was...I accidentally stepped on empty space...and fell down..."
Li Zhan smiled, nodded, and asked, "Is there anything else you forgot to mention?"
Xu Jiayuan was stunned and looked at Li Zhan in fear.
Li Zhan said: "Let me give you a reminder."
As he spoke, he took out a button.
When Xu Jiayuan saw the button, his pupils suddenly shrank and he shook his head in fear: "I... this is not my button! I... I don't have..."
Li Zhan sighed: "Looks like you don't even want your arms anymore?"
Xu Jiayuan's face turned pale, and he trembled as he spoke, "I...I say! I say! The button is...mine. I attacked Xia Juanjuan that day and tried to rape her! But...she also kicked me! I swear I didn't do anything!"
After hearing Xu Jiayuan's confession, Li Zhan's eyes turned cold and he sneered, "Now you should know why your leg is broken, right? You even dared to touch my wife, Li Zhan. Are you looking for death?"
Xu Jiayuan was so frightened that he shook his head desperately: "I don't dare anymore! I won't dare anymore! Please save me, don't leave me here..."
Li Zhan tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "Well... everything else is easy to deal with. It's better to abandon the places that the beasts can't control!"
As he said that, he suddenly kicked Xu Jiayuan in the body. The force was much greater than Xia Juanjuan's kick, and Xu Jiayuan's eyes rolled back and he fainted again.
Lizhan then carried the man on his back and to the foot of the mountain.
Someone in the village had already taken it and asked where it was found and what happened.
Li Zhan said: "I guess he slipped and fell down a steep slope, breaking both his legs, and the man's private parts were also badly injured..."
"Alas! With such serious injuries, we should send him to the hospital overnight..."
The villagers found a bullock cart and sent Xu Jiayuan to the hospital overnight.
Li Zhan did not follow him, but went back home.
Xia Juanjuan had already fallen asleep. When she heard him coming back, she got up again and asked nervously, "How is it? Did you find the person?"
Lizhan frowned and glanced at her, then said, "Found him. He broke both legs and was unconscious. He was sent to the hospital overnight."
"Oh..." Xia Juanjuan responded and looked at Li Zhan strangely.
I always feel that he... seems angry.
"Wait a minute. I'll boil some water for you to wash before you go to sleep."
Li Zhan nodded and took off his clothes. When Xia Juanjuan finished boiling the water, Li Zhan suddenly asked, "How many bamboo shoots did you dry today?"
Xia Juanjuan's hands couldn't help shaking for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Not much. I was planning to go to the mountain to dig some more, but didn't you forbid me to go out? So I thought I'd go back to the mountain to dig tomorrow."
Lizhan frowned and was silent for a while before he said, "Well. I'll go digging with you tomorrow. Go to sleep."
It started snowing again in the second half of the night.
When she woke up early in the morning, Xia Juanjuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The snow was quite heavy, and all traces of her entering the mountain yesterday should be covered up, so she wouldn't be exposed.
Of course, what she didn't know was that those footprints and traces had been destroyed on the way back from the battle.
Xu Jiayuan didn't wake up until the afternoon. Both of his legs were broken. Even if he recovered, he would probably have to use crutches. As for that aspect, this time he was completely hopeless.
What's worse is that as soon as he woke up, he was faced with being arrested by police from the county police station and police from other parts of the city.
It turned out that when Xu Jiayuan was working in the countryside in Tianjin, he got a girl in the village pregnant. Later, the girl probably couldn't bear it and jumped into the river to commit suicide. Xu Jiayuan then changed the place where he worked in the countryside.
However, there is recent evidence that the girl did not commit suicide, but may have been murdered, and the suspect is Xu Jiayuan.
Xu Jiayuan couldn't accept this fact and went crazy, saying that it was Xia Juanjuan who pushed him down the steep slope yesterday, and that his legs were broken by Li Zhan or something like that...
