Besides, if he's afraid of tigers, aren't the villagers afraid of them too?
Once he disappears deep into the jungle, these people will definitely not dare to come and capture him again.
Just wait until it gets dark, then slowly find your way out.
The paddy field ridges were indeed difficult to run on, but Gu Jingsheng was injured, so no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't outrun the group of people with good feet and hands.
As the footsteps behind him grew closer, Gu Jingsheng jumped into the stream without hesitation.
I planned to cross the stream and take a shortcut up the mountain. Since my clothes were already soaked, I didn't care about going into the water again.
The crowd chased after Gu Jingsheng to the stream, only to watch helplessly as he swam across.
Gu Erniu immediately stripped off his clothes, preparing to jump down; he didn't want Gu Jingsheng to just run away like that.
Gu Lili quickly stopped him from going down.
"Erniu, no! The water is too cold. What if you get a leg cramp? That would be terrible!" Gu Lili stopped her.
Seeing the icy stream, the group stopped and did not proceed, but instead took a detour to continue their pursuit.
Seeing this, Gu Erniu put his clothes back on and followed the others to take a detour to chase after them.
A little further ahead, where the water narrows, there's a wooden bridge that you can cross.
Catching Gu Jingsheng is important, but the water is so cold, and his younger brother can't swim. Going down like this would be too dangerous.
Gu Lili glanced at the items in her space and decided to buy a tranquilizer gun to knock Gu Jingsheng out.
Seeing that everyone was taking a detour to chase after him, Gu Jingsheng couldn't help but smile smugly.
By the time they circled around, I had already vanished without a trace.
Indeed, taking the waterway was the right decision!
He went ashore and looked at Gu Lili with a smile on his face.
Gu Lili watched the crowd walk away, then coldly raised the tranquilizer gun in her hand and aimed it at Gu Jingsheng.
There's a story behind this tranquilizer gun; Gu Jingsheng's smug expression was completely seen through by Gu Lili.
Just as Gu Lili was about to fire, she suddenly noticed something emerald green wriggling at Gu Jingsheng's feet.
Upon closer inspection, Gu Lili realized it was actually the highly poisonous bamboo viper.
This snake was as thick as a baby's arm and about three or four meters long.
"Gu Lili, you four jinxes! Even your own father is being sent to the county yamen! You'll all die a horrible death!"
Gu Jingsheng cursed and swore at Gu Lili opposite him, completely unaware of the danger beneath his feet.
After hurling a few curses, Gu Jingsheng prepared to make a hasty escape.
Otherwise, the villagers who took a detour would definitely catch up with him soon.
Gu Jingsheng turned around and ran up the mountain, stepping on a bamboo viper that had already climbed far away.
The bamboo viper, in pain, turned around and bit Gu Jingsheng's leg.
Gu Jingsheng was in so much pain that he collapsed to the ground and roared in agony.
The snake bit Gu Jingsheng, and seemingly still not satisfied, it slowly crawled towards him.
Upon seeing this, Gu Jingsheng was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly.
Gu Lili looked at the scene through the magnifying glass and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
As if it possessed a spirit, the snake stood up straight and stared directly at Gu Jingsheng.
With a "whoosh," it instantly bit into Gu Jingsheng's throat.
Gu Jingsheng painfully pulled on the snake's body, trying to grab it off.
The snake, however, held on tightly to him, refusing to let go.
Seemingly not satisfied, she moved her body up as well, wrapping it tightly around Gu Jingsheng's neck.
Gu Jingsheng rolled on the ground in agony, straining with his hands as if trying to pull a snake down.
No matter how much Gu Jingsheng struggled, the snake remained unmoved.
She still clung to Gu Jingsheng relentlessly.
Gradually, Gu Jingsheng's struggles subsided until he stopped moving altogether.
Gu Lili put her tranquilizer gun away and stored it in her spatial storage.
The group arrived at the other side and saw Gu Jingsheng lying on the ground. Gu Erniu even tried to grab him.
Seeing this, Gu Lili quickly shouted, "Erniu, don't go forward! Gu Jingsheng has a poisonous snake on his neck!"
Gu Erniu stopped in his tracks, looked at Gu Jingsheng, and couldn't help but gasp.
What a huge snake!
Gu Jingsheng's face was now completely bloodless, forming a stark contrast of blue and white with the venomous snake coiled around his neck.
Everyone was so frightened by the bizarre scene that they all backed away.
Seeing that everyone had stopped, Gu Lili then took a detour to the other side.
"Village head, what should we do?" Tie Dan's father asked.
Gu Jingsheng was originally to be taken to the county government, but now he's dead here. What should we do?
The village head sighed and said, "With the weather getting warmer, it's inevitable that there will be snakes, insects, and rodents. There's nothing we can do about these natural disasters and man-made calamities."
"That old bastard has committed too many sins, and Heaven couldn't bear to see him suffer, so it's taking him away!"
"That's right, how can you treat your own grandson like that!"
"He might have burned Gu Shuwen to death too. He didn't want to raise him anymore, so he just burned him!"
“I think so too. Last time I actually saw Gu Shuwen begging in Donghai Town. How could he have come to town by himself? It was that old man who dragged him there!”
"My God, how can there be such a shameless person!"
"Some people even saw Gu Jingsheng and Niu Cuihua having an affair!"
Everyone took turns listing Gu Jingsheng's crimes.
The snake coiled around Gu Jingsheng's neck for a long time before slowly loosening its grip.
Everyone took another step back, afraid that they would end up like Gu Jingsheng.
However, the snake seemed to ignore everyone and wriggled its way towards the grass.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at the village head.
"Uncle Village Head, what should we do now?" Tie Dan's father asked.
Grandpa Village Head looked at Gu Lili and Gu Erniu who had rushed over, preparing to ask them a question.
Even if Gu Jingsheng is a scoundrel, he is still related to Gu Lili and the others by blood.
As for how to handle it, that's up to the two of them to decide.
Gu Lili glanced coldly at Gu Jingsheng on the ground, then looked at Gu Erniu.
Since she was merely a transmigrator, Gu Lili decided to hand over this authority to Gu Erniu.
"Erniu, what do you want to do?" Gu Lili asked.
Filial piety has always been a cultural tradition of humankind, and logically, they should all be responsible for collecting Gu Jingsheng's body.
Gu Erniu glanced at his sister and said calmly, "Sister, we have nothing to do with him anymore. What we do is no longer our concern. Since he's dead, let's go home!"
Gu Lili nodded and took Gu Erniu back.
Everyone understood the siblings' actions; if it were them, they would have whipped Gu Jingsheng's corpse!
"Dazhu, go home and get a shovel, bury him!" the village head said with a sigh.
Li Zheng was overwhelmed with mixed feelings about Gu Jingsheng's death.
