Chapter 431 Just have an abortion, kill her!
(Thanks to Shimizu Sweetie for casting a monthly vote.)
However, it was only early June, just a few days after the summer solstice, but the weather was already as hot as the dog days of summer.
For the past two months, Li Shiyue has been so busy that she's practically glued to her little red horse.
Fortunately, Li Shiyue's little red horse was a mechanical horse customized from Zhang Lanlan in the futuristic world of technology, and it could be powered continuously as long as it basked in the sun.
If it were really a little red horse, running back and forth with Li Shiyue like this, it would probably have been exhausted to death long ago.
Even Sun Xiaoliu, who always followed Li Shiyue, exclaimed in surprise, "General, this horse of yours is truly gifted!"
Others would take at least two horses to ride along the way, and someone as strong as Hei Zi would need three horses to ride if he went out.
Our general only needs this one horse!
Because Li Shiyue's little red horse was so amazing, the manager of the horse farm next to the village came to visit her with gifts, begging Li Shiyue to send her little red horse to their horse farm for breeding when it went into heat!
As for how Li Shiyue has been traveling back and forth on the road for the past two months?
It's all because of those bandits!
After delivering the bodies of Wang Cuihua, Zhao Xier, and the women who had died on the mountain to Zhao You's house, Li Shiyue returned to the garrison with the Xuanjia Army, a cartload of heads, and a large stack of confessions.
After General Liu finished celebrating his mother's birthday, he saw the cartload of bloody heads and confessions that Li Shiyue had brought back, and listened to Li Shiyue recount the troubles this gang of bandits had caused since Jian'an. He then directly gave Li Shiyue a written order, authorizing him to thoroughly investigate this gang of bandits.
Of course, that's what they say on the surface.
The case committed by these bandits must be investigated, but behind the scenes, General Liu also intended for Li Shiyue to investigate whether Japanese pirates had actually landed in the Xihai Village area under Qingshiling Town, and whether the county magistrate there had colluded with the Japanese pirates!
As a result, Li Shiyue has not returned to Lijiatun in the past two months, and has not even had a day off.
She led a troop of Xuanjia soldiers from Zhao You's house all the way to Jian'an. When she passed through Fuzhou, she made a special trip to find Wang Xiaoniangzi from Wang Caizhu's house.
After all, it was learned from the second-in-command that there was something quite going on about how this rich man, Wang, was able to obtain government silver.
Li Shiyue, leading the Xuanjia Army, snatched Wang Xiaoniangzi, who had been ravaged beyond recognition, directly from the madam of the brothel.
While we're at it, let's smash up this brothel.
It took seven or eight days just to stay in Fuzhou to treat Wang Xiaoniangzi.
Li Shiyue had no choice but to split her forces into three groups. One group went ahead to Jian'an to investigate what was going on at Wang Caizhu's house.
Head to Xihai Village to investigate whether the village where the chief and his men lived was indeed visited by Japanese pirates.
The remaining group stayed with Li Shiyue, waiting for Wang Xiaoniangzi to recover in Fuzhou, while also investigating, starting with the brothels, to see if there were any evil spirits or monsters in Fuzhou.
Therefore, when Li Shiyue was not at home, she really had no idea how busy Lijiatun was at that moment.
Or rather, Li's mother and her family were so busy they barely had time to breathe.
While at the bandit stronghold, Wang Cuihua learned from Li Shiyue that she should take the surviving women from Zhao You's family back to Lijiatun to find a doctor to examine their pulses.
At first, Wang Cuihua didn't think much of it, assuming that Li Shiyue, as a female general, would be more compassionate towards women.
But when she returned to the wooden house that night and told the other twenty or so women and maids in the house what Li Shiyue had said, she finally understood Li Shiyue's good intentions from the words of the others.
What were Li Shiyue's good intentions?
Wang Cuihua, Zhao Xier, and more than twenty other women and girls who were abducted to the bandit stronghold had all been abused by the bandits.
A woman's body is capable of bearing offspring.
In all of this, who knows if she might just be unlucky and get pregnant?
A child like this doesn't deserve to be born!
Li Shiyue's words did not simply mean that they should have a doctor treat their injuries or take a pulse to check their health.
Li Shiyue meant that if you find that your period is late after a month or so, you may be pregnant, so you should go to Lijiatun to find a doctor to have an abortion!
A child burdened with sin does not deserve to be born!
Just abort the pregnancy, kill the baby!
So when the two women who had argued with Wang Cuihua in the bandit's dugout came to her door in late May, she immediately summoned the rest of the women and maids.
"...General Li is a good person, and she always keeps her word."
Putting aside the matter of seeing a doctor, I want to tell you that my family of three is planning to move away from here and settle down in Lijiatun.
Wang Cuihua's words shocked all the women present.
"Even though Xi'er's father treated me no differently than before, we were still kidnapped after all. During this period, Xi'er's grandmother would glare at me and Xi'er for even a few bites of food."
And then...
Wang Cuihua glanced at Zhao Xier standing beside her and said, "Yinhua, I don't know whether Yinhua hanged herself or was forced to death by her father."
But now I only have Xi'er by my side, and I can't let my Xi'er suffer like that day after day, month after month!
So, this time I'm taking you to see a doctor in Lijiatun, and our family won't be coming back.
If you intend to stay in Lijiatun, just tell me!
We were only able to survive thanks to the general and his men!
Back then, on the mountain, those who deserved to die died, and we avenged ourselves!
From now on, I don't want to be forced to my death; I have to live well!
I still have to watch my Xi'er get married and have children!
The general said the wool sweater workshop needed manpower, so I'll go learn and work there. I won't be of great help to the general, but I can still do this little thing."
Wang Cuihua kept her word. The next day, she asked Zhao Sanhe to call several donkey carts outside the village, and her family also hired one separately.
As Zhao Clan Chief and Granny Zhao watched Zhao Sanhe busily loading their family's belongings onto the donkey cart, they stood at the door with dark faces, staring intently.
The sun was high in the sky, its scorching rays beating down on the earth, making people sweat profusely.
"Third brother, if you leave this house today, I'll kick you out of the Zhao family!"
Wang Cuihua and Zhao Xier, who were standing by the donkey cart, also heard what Chief Zhao said. Wang Cuihua pursed her lips tightly, so tightly that they turned white.
Her gaze was fixed on Zhao Sanhe, who was carrying a load on his shoulders. Zhao Xier looked at Zhao Sanhe in the courtyard with tears in her eyes and called out to him, "Father."
Upon hearing what the clan chief Zhao said, Zhao Sanhe put down his carrying pole and wiped the sweat from his head and face.
He then knelt down on both knees in front of Chief Zhao, who was standing at the door.
With a series of resounding thuds, Zhao Sanhe kowtowed three times to Chief Zhao. Raising his head, he said to Chief Zhao, word by word, "Father, I have to find a way for Xi'er to survive."
