Chapter 313 If you touch someone you shouldn’t touch, you must pay the price
The winery was in such a mess that no one could leave it alone. Xu Wenxiu suppressed her anxiety and kicked Aunt Xu out of the house to take care of things outside.
He closed the door tightly in the room and tried his best to pretend that he had fainted and Sang Zhixia was taking care of him.
Sang Zhixia had been unconscious for less than an hour. Xu Yanran, who should have known nothing, tentatively called out "sister-in-law" from outside the door.
Xu Wenxiu held back her tears and didn't respond. Outside the door, Xu Yanran raised her hand and wiped away the tears from her eyes.
Xu Wenxiu was afraid that someone would notice and cause trouble, so she hid in the house and watched Sang Zhixia, not daring to be distracted for even a moment.
Xu Yu rushed back after receiving the news, and it was already dawn the next day when he stepped into the house.
The grapevines in the north yard have turned green. In the yard, which should have been deserted, a bunch of radish heads with drooping heads are sitting together, blocking the door tightly. No outsiders can get in.
Xu Mingyang, who was sitting on the steps in front of the main gate, stood up suddenly when he saw Xu Yu coming. Before he could even call out "Brother", tears started streaming down his face in anxiety.
“Big Brother!”
Xu Yanran, who was half hugging Xu Jinxi, had red eyes. She shouted like a rabbit, but was afraid of disturbing the people in the house, so she kept sniffing and said, "Sister-in-law can't agree. Auntie won't let us in. We..."
"We were scared and could only stand guard at the door...Brother, we..."
Xu Yanran couldn't say any more. Xu Mingxu had already rushed to Xu Yu, staring at him with red and swollen eyes, saying, "Sister-in-law is being bullied."
"Someone bullied me."
Xu Mingxu seemed to only remember these words, his voice was crisp and tender, and the light in his eyes was surprisingly bright.
Xu Yu took a deep breath and pushed away the group of kids surrounding him. His voice was so hoarse as if he had swallowed countless cold winds with icy spikes.
"Song Liu, take them back to rest."
Xu Mingyang shook his head frantically like a frightened rabbit: "No, no, no, I won't leave, I..."
"Third Young Master."
Song Liu quickly grabbed Xu Mingyang and stopped him from making trouble. Xu Yu pushed the door open with a gloomy face.
In the room, Second Aunt Xu, who had rushed back in the middle of the night, was sitting by the bed, frowning. When Xu Wenxiu saw Xu Yu, her legs suddenly went limp.
"Yu'er, you're finally back!"
Xu Yu is back, but the role he played may not be very significant.
Mr. Hu, who arrived overnight, pulled out the silver needle and said with a headache, "I was suddenly frightened and my qi and blood are reversed."
"In folk slang, it means being too frightened, with palpitations and uneasy spirits."
Old Master Hu had obviously heard what had happened. He turned to look at Xu Yu, who was wiping Sang Zhixia's sweat, and couldn't help but say, "These dirty things like fighting and killing would terrify any ordinary man. How could such a delicate little girl withstand such a shock?"
The scar on the neck of a severed head and the blood splattering three feet away is only a momentary shock.
Cutting off hands and exposing bones, and pulling out tongues are considered torture in the torture chamber. Even a fierce man would have nightmares for several days after seeing such a tragic scene.
What’s more, it was Sang Zhixia who ordered it himself?
Xu Yu's eyelashes drooped and he said nothing.
Old Man Hu looked at the bulging veins on the back of his hands and neck, sighed, and said, "It's not all yesterday's fault."
"This girl has been weak since her mother's womb. She had finally recovered somewhat from her rest, but she's been working too hard these past few days. She's already caught a cold."
"Plus, yesterday's emotional rollercoaster was frightening, so it's normal for me to be unable to handle it for a while."
Xu Yu seemed to be mute and didn't say a word.
Second Aunt Xu frowned and said, "Is it serious? How should I take care of it? Should I take some medicine or..."
"Not yet."
Old Master Hu waved his hand and said, "Today's illness is due to the long time of stitches being buried, and secondly, the tense mind needs a chance to explode. Don't do anything yet, just wait and see."
"If the high fever can break out, that would be a good thing. After a good sweat, your energy will naturally return to normal."
Aunt Xu and Xu Wenxiu, whose eyes were already swollen from crying, both breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Yu, who hadn't said a word since entering the room, suddenly asked, "What if the attack doesn't happen?"
"Pah, pah, pah!"
Xu Wenxiu raised her hand and tried to pinch Xu Yu: "What nonsense! Xia Xia is a lucky person, how could there be a bad child?!"
Xu Yu seemed to be insensitive to the pain. He lowered his eyes and said, "After the attack, I can recover three-tenths. What about the remaining seven-tenths?"
Old Master Hu hadn't expected him to argue with him at this moment. He raised his eyebrows and was about to scold him when Xu Yu lowered his head and rubbed his forehead against Sang Zhixia's cold forehead, saying hoarsely, "I was wrong."
"Mom, where are the troublemakers?"
Xu Wenxiu clutched the handkerchief tightly and said, "Xia Xia said to take them for questioning first. According to Lin Yun, those people were already scared out of their wits. They confessed without further questioning. They are all being held in a circle in the open space over by the threshing ground."
Aunt Xu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she said in a deep voice, "Didn't they say they would cut off his hands and pull out his tongue? How come he's still alive?"
Xu Wenxiu himself was a soft-hearted person who couldn't stand the sight of blood, and he was also afraid of scaring the comatose Sang Zhixia again, so he quickly said, "Don't say such things!"
"What if Xia Xia is startled again?"
Aunt Xu pursed her lips and said nothing.
Xu Yu covered Sang Zhixia with the quilt and stood up.
Xu Wenxiu hurriedly said nervously: "Yu'er, Xia Xia is already ill, just think of it as a blessing for her, don't..."
"Mom, Zhizhi has accumulated enough blessings."
Xu Yu's fingertips slid across Sang Zhixia's earlobe, which was soaked with cold sweat, and he said lightly, "Zhizhi has accumulated good fortune, and I have created my own sins."
"Since I've committed enough sins, won't her blessings naturally be fulfilled?"
Xu Wenxiu was so angry at Xu Yu's nonsense that she felt a headache. She said angrily, "Does it really matter if you just say you want to do good deeds? You..."
"I'm not a good person."
Xu Yu sneered and said calmly, "If there is a divine punishment, I will accept it myself."
"Second Aunt, please help me look after my mother and Zhizhi. I'm going out for a while."
Xu Yu paused after he finished speaking, his tone inexplicably softening: "I will definitely be back before Zhizhi wakes up."
"Don't let her know where I've been."
Xu Yu pushed the door open and walked out with a lingering murderous aura.
Xu Wenxiu struggled again and again, but in the end she said nothing.
Aunt Xu grabbed a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Sang Zhixia's palms. Thinking of the danger she had experienced earlier, she couldn't help but sigh secretly.
If Sang Zhixia hadn't put a stop to the chaos, no one could have guessed how many complications would have arisen.
But even if the troublemaker dies, we can't just let it go.
Otherwise, wouldn’t their family have suffered in vain?
There is no such way.
Second Aunt Xu tightened her lips and said, "Sister-in-law, who did you say Yang Dazhu and the others were close to in the village? Tell me what you know."
Old Master Hu sneered silently as he listened, then stood up slowly and went to collect the last few silver needles from Sang Zhixia's hand.
If Sang Zhixia's illness recovers quickly, that's one thing, but if it doesn't, there will be a lot of talk to do about it.
Among those who leave this house, apart from the one who is currently ill, there are few people with good hearts, from the old to the young.
If you touch someone you shouldn't touch, you must pay the price.
