Chapter 221 Returning Home
Seeing that Song Xingzhi still looked worried, Zhang Chunxue smiled again: "I'm fine. Besides, this big brother is so tall and strong, he can definitely protect me!"
Zhou Daikui: "..."
No, I didn't, I can't do it.
But if a woman isn't afraid at all, how can a grown man say such a thing?
Zhou Daikui thought again that his wife had already gone to call people, and Zhang Erge and the others would be coming soon, so he felt much more at ease.
Seeing that Zhang Chunxue had made up her mind, Song Xingzhi could only nod and turn to Zhou Xiaojun: "Then, young comrade, I'll trouble you to give me a ride. My hand is injured."
Zhou Xiaojun nodded repeatedly: "I can do it!"
He was also eager to get started.
A bicycle! The last time he rode a bicycle was last year!
Song Xingzhi was still worried, so after discussing the follow-up matters with Zhang Chunxue, he told her to make sure she held the kitchen knife safe and protected herself before getting on the back of the bicycle.
Watching Zhou Xiaojun ride away on his bicycle with Song Xingzhi on the back, Zhang Chunxue sighed softly.
Zhou Daikui dared not look at the corpse on the ground, and carefully moved to Zhang Chunxue's side, whispering, "Sister, that...that's your son..."
Zhang Chunxue gave a soft "hmm".
Zhou Daikui opened his mouth, but after a long while, he managed to utter two words: "My condolences..."
However, he was also a little puzzled, as the young woman didn't seem very sad.
"But what exactly happened?" he asked cautiously. "How could such a thing happen?"
Zhang Chunxue remained silent for a while before speaking: "We've been ambushed."
Seeing that she didn't seem inclined to talk, and considering that her son had just died, Zhou Daikui didn't press her for details.
Fortunately, his wife arrived shortly afterward with a few people.
"Zhou Daikui?" she called out.
Zhou Daikui's eyes immediately lit up: "Xiao Juan! I'm here!"
Several people immediately came over.
They also saw the person lying on the ground and immediately realized that this was the person who had been killed.
"What a tragedy!" Zhang Erge sighed, then looked at Zhang Chunxue, "Sister, what exactly happened?"
Zhang Chunxue wasn't as silent as before this time; she just gave a bitter smile.
"This man originally came for me, but it just so happens that my third son came back with us today..."
She recounted the events concisely, only omitting the fact that the murderer was her second son.
Zhang Erge's wife immediately understood: "This man knew you were making money selling braised food in the county, so he deliberately knocked down a tree here to rob you!"
Zhang Chunxue nodded: "That should be the case."
"Sigh, these days..." Zhou Daikui's wife also sighed.
After comforting Zhang Chunxue, the group began to discuss what to do with the body.
Zhang Chunxue thought for a moment and said, "I'd like to ask you all to help me deliver this body to Zhongjia Village... I will thank you properly afterward!"
"Stop talking about that! You've already gotten yourself into this mess!" Brother Zhang said cheerfully. "I'll have my two sons get a makeshift stretcher and get him up here first!"
Zhang Chunxue nodded silently.
The group immediately got to work.
Zhang Erge's two sons immediately went home to get tools, while the two women comforted Zhang Chunxue.
Zhang Ergou and Zhou Daikui stood one in front of the other, wary of the murderer popping out again.
Soon, a stretcher was ready. Zhang Erge's two sons carried Zhong Chengyi's body onto the stretcher, and the four men carried the body back.
Zhang Chunxue rode a tricycle, carrying two women, and the group returned to Zhongjia Village together.
Zhou Mingli waited and waited at home for Zhang Chunxue and the others to return, but they never came back. She was very worried and wanted to go out to check on them, but as a woman with no strength to fight back, and with an infant and a child in tow, she could only suppress her worries and wait anxiously at home.
Song Xingzhi and Zhou Xiaojun quickly arrived in the county and reported the case to the nearest police station.
The news of the murder caused a sensation throughout the entire police station.
Song Xingzhi took a brief statement and told them to go to Zhongjia Village to see the body the next day. He then went to the hospital accompanied by two police officers.
His wound was quite serious and required stitches.
Zhou Xiaojun accompanied him throughout the entire trip, thoroughly enjoying his cycling adventure.
Zhongjia Village was abuzz with excitement because of Zhang Chunxue and her group's return.
When they arrived at Zhongjia Village, it was already past ten o'clock. Most of the villagers were asleep, but someone got up to go to the toilet and happened to run into Zhang Chunxue and the others returning.
He even greeted Zhang Chunxue.
"Sister Chunxue, why are you back? Didn't you go to stay in town?"
"What are they carrying?"
Zhang Chunxue said calmly, "It was Zhong Chengyi. He was stabbed to death."
The man was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "What? Your third son, he, he, he..."
He was speechless.
Zhang Chunxue didn't say much, but led Zhang Erge and the others to continue walking forward.
The man stood there for a long time, then exclaimed "Oh my god!" and ran quickly to Li Dashan's house.
Zhang Chunxue had Zhang Erge and the others carry Zhong Chengyi's body to their front yard and place it on the ground.
"Thank you all for your hard work!" Zhang Chunxue's face was full of gratitude. "Please sit down and rest for a while. I'll go pour you some tea!"
She hasn't lived at home for a long time, so there's nothing there, but Zhong Chengfa's house definitely has things!
She kicked down the door of Zhong Chengfa's house.
Zhong Chengfa was half asleep when he heard rustling noises. He thought he was dreaming until the door was kicked open.
He immediately started cursing: "Who is it! So late at night!"
He got up and opened the door, only to be blinded by the flashlight.
"It's me," Zhang Chunxue said calmly. "Is there hot water at home?"
"Mom?" Zhong Chengfa asked, somewhat surprised. "There's hot water..."
"No, Mom, why are you back?"
Zhang Chunxue walked straight into his room, glanced at the messy room, frowned, and finally brought out a kettle: "Go and get some bowls."
Zhong Chengfa was puzzled and quickly went to get a few bowls.
Zhang Chunxue looked at the greasy bowls, paused for a moment, then disdainfully put them aside and carefully washed them with hot water before pouring water for Zhang Erge and the others.
Zhong Chengfa was dumbfounded when he saw the strangers who had suddenly appeared in his yard.
"What's going on? Mom, who are they?!"
Zhang Chunxue poured water, then turned to Zhong Chengfa and said, "Third Brother was stabbed to death. I asked a few of them to bring his body back."
