Jiang Huaidong's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, his lips were bitten until they turned white, and his voice trembled as he spoke: "Mother, go, go find someone."
"Boom..."
He had barely finished speaking when another deafening clap of thunder rang out from the sky, and the dark clouds pressed even lower, indicating that a torrential downpour was imminent.
Fu Shen looked at Su Shizhong and said calmly, "Father, it's going to rain. Let's go back."
Su Shizhong nodded, still wanting more.
He listened to Jiang Huaidong's painful voice for a while, his face full of a gleeful expression.
He was secretly amazed, wondering how his son-in-law could have come up with this method and calculate so accurately that Jiang Huaidong would take a shortcut to catch up with Zhou Xinran.
Although the method was somewhat cruel, he liked it from the bottom of his heart.
In his view, Jiang Huaidong's hands and feet were probably crippled.
He was thinking that he wouldn't have to bother him every now and then in the village anymore; he could just watch him make a fool of himself.
As soon as Fu Shen and the others returned home, the rain poured down like a torrential downpour.
When Su Yue woke up and didn't see Fu Shen, she sat on the bed with worry in her eyes, quietly waiting for him to come back.
As soon as Fu Shen entered, he saw Su Yue staring intently at him with a blank expression.
He gently closed the door, walked to the bedside, and asked, "Were you awakened by the thunder?"
Su Yue's eyes held a hint of displeasure as she said, "I was waiting for you. Where did you go just now?"
Fu Shen then recounted to Su Yue the plan he had discussed with Su Shizhong a few days earlier, as well as his predictions.
Su Yue frowned slightly and said, "...So a few days ago, you and Father were mainly discussing how to deal with Jiang Huaidong in the room?"
Fu Shen nodded, "This is the best opportunity."
Su Yue asked again, "Will Jiang Huaidong be unable to walk again in the future?"
Listening to the pattering rain outside, Fu Shen pondered for a moment and said, "Probably. That trap isn't an ordinary mousetrap; it's one that Dad modified."
Su Yue frowned even more, and said worriedly, "Won't the things that Father modified be discovered?"
Fu Shen shook his head and said firmly, "No, Jiang Huaidong was chasing Zhou Xinran and was injured by the trap while taking a back path. That back path is full of rat traps. It has nothing to do with me and my father."
Upon hearing this, Su Yue relaxed and said, "That's good."
Just as Fu Shen was about to speak, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the door, accompanied by someone calling for Tang Jianguo.
His expression tightened, and he quickly blew out the light. Then he heard Tang Jianguo come out and open the door.
Hearing the voices outside, Su Shizhong pretended to be sleepy, yawned, opened his door, and asked Tang Jianguo, who had returned, with a puzzled look.
"What's the emergency that you're knocking on the door in the middle of the night, in the rain?"
Tang Jianguo glanced at him and said, "Jiang Huaidong injured his foot with a metal clamp and asked me to give him the key to get some medicine for the abrasion from the village office."
Su Shizhong pretended to be concerned and said, "If you get injured by a metal clamp, will it be enough to just apply medicine without taking you to the town's clinic?"
But he secretly wondered to himself, "Could it be that my foot wasn't broken?"
The person who knocked on the door sighed when he heard Su Shizhong's words and said, "It's raining heavily now, so we can't deliver it. We can only wash the rust off with medicine. His hands and feet are so badly injured. We can't leave him without going to the hospital. I think if we go to the hospital, Jiang Huaidong's hands and feet will probably be beyond saving. The bones are showing."
Upon hearing this, Su Shizhong was secretly delighted. He thought Jiang Huaidong was so lucky to be caught in a rusty iron clamp, how could he be unharmed?
Tang Jianguo went in, took the key, and handed it to the person, saying, "Just return the key to me tomorrow; you don't need to come back and forth."
After that person left, Tang Jianguo looked at Su Shizhong and said, "This has nothing to do with you, right?"
