Lu Yuan was about to run out to call for help when his ears twitched; he heard a jumble of footsteps outside.
“This way!” he shouted.
Soon, a large group of people arrived.
Just as Lu Yuan was about to suggest that everyone help get the person to the health center, Sun Ziqiang shouted from the crowd.
"Lu Yuan, what are you doing? What did you do to Old Man Liu?"
Lu Yuan glared at him and said, "Shut the hell up! Can't you see I'm saving people?"
It was rare to see Lu Yuan yell at people; he usually had a carefree, smiling demeanor.
Sun Ziqiang was momentarily stunned by this sudden outburst of anger.
Realizing what had happened, he became furious and embarrassed.
Before she could say anything more, Lu Yuan shot her back with a sharp look.
Lu Yuan didn't have time to deal with him right now and gave instructions to everyone.
"Send someone to drive the oxcart, and a few more people to carry Grandpa Liu to the door. We'll take him to the clinic."
Xu Dong, Lu Jiefang, and Lu Yuanchao, who were in the crowd, rushed forward.
Lu Yuan trusted them all, so he hurriedly said, "Dongzi, stay here. Jiefang and Yuanchao, you two hurry up and go after them. There were two people having an affair here just now, and Grandpa Liu saw them and wanted to kill them."
A thunderclap suddenly erupted from the ground, startling everyone into wide-eyed stares.
Someone asked, "Lu Yuan, how did you know?"
Lu Yuan said, "I saw it when I was halfway up the mountain."
Everyone suddenly realized.
"So those loud bangs just now were from you!"
"Yes, it was me. I saw them choking Grandpa Liu, so I tried to yell at them to stop. I didn't expect them to start throwing stones at him."
The crowd was outraged.
"Damn it, she dared to kill someone after having an affair, she's gone too far."
"Go, grab them, parade them through the streets, and then send them to squat in the fence."
A group of people were shouting that they were going to arrest someone, and Lu Jiefang and Lu Yuanchao ran quickly out of the house.
Lu Yuan shouted at their backs, "The man is wearing blue, and the woman is wearing gray."
Upon hearing this, everyone wondered who was wearing that color today, and they even looked at the people around them.
Some men and women who happened to be wearing these two colors were trying their best to prove their innocence.
"I've been working with you guys all along."
"Yes, me too. I haven't left the field. I only came over to see what was going on when I heard the shouts, just like you guys."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded repeatedly.
Those present were indeed working in the fields. There are alibis.
Lu Yuan knew that the two people couldn't possibly be among this group; they must have gone back.
Finding the murderer is important, but saving lives is even more important.
"Alright, stop arguing. Someone go and remove a door panel; we need to carry Grandpa Liu out."
Some people have already run to the cowshed to drive the oxcart; they need to get the people to wait at the gate.
Without saying a word, Xu Dong ran to remove the door panel of the room where Grandpa Liu lived.
Of this huge old house, only that room still has a door.
Lu Yuan and several others worked together to lift the person onto the door panel.
"Slow down, I'll protect his head, you all lift him together, let's get him to the main entrance and wait."
Everyone worked together to lift the man up, and Lu Yuan tried his best to keep Old Liu's head from being jostled.
"Lu Yuan, did you injure Grandpa Liu?"
Sun Ziqiang suddenly jumped out again and said.
"You must have injured him. If someone else had hit him and Grandpa Liu had run away, why didn't we see him when we came over?"
“Lu Yuan, don’t try to shirk responsibility. You definitely killed Grandpa Liu.”
Sun Ziqiang jumped around, trying his best to pin the blame on Lu Yuan.
He still remembered what happened a couple of days ago. If it weren't for Lu Yuan, he would have already won the heart of the beauty.
In the end, how could such a good-for-nothing scoundrel be allowed to get away with this?
If this matter can be pinned on Lu Yuan, then he'll definitely be in jail, and might even get shot.
Anyway, my life is definitely over.
In this way, Wen Moxue would become a widow, and he could do whatever he wanted without having to take responsibility.
Lu Yuan was seething with anger. If it weren't for the urgent matter of saving lives, he would have beaten this bastard so badly that he would have made him eat the shit himself.
"Try spouting one more load of nonsense and see what happens!"
Lu Yuan's imposing aura was so strong that Sun Ziqiang swallowed hard and finally shut his mouth.
Lu Yuan glanced at him sideways, then turned to Xu Dong and said,
"Dongzi, you stay here and find a few people to watch over this place."
"After I take the person to the clinic, I will report it to the police. Before the police arrive, do not let anyone approach or disturb the scene."
Xu Dong immediately selected a few burly men with whom he had a close relationship and began to shoo people away.
"Go, go, all of you, go! Anyone who dares to disturb the scene is the murderer."
As soon as Xu Dong said this, everyone who wanted to watch the show immediately took several steps back.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan felt relieved and carried the person away.
Not long after they arrived at the gate, the people who had gone to drive the oxcart came running back, panting heavily.
"Phew~ A-Yuan, the brigade's oxcart is not here."
"Where's the oxcart?"
"The brigade leader went to the commune and drove the oxcart away."
Lu Yuan frowned. How could it be such a coincidence?
The entire brigade only had this one oxcart. Without the oxcart, they would have to carry it there.
But this delay makes the hope even more remote.
But there's no other way; we can't just leave people here to die.
"With a few more people following along, we'll carry the person to the commune clinic."
Everyone hurriedly prepared to lift the person.
Wen Moxue, who had just heard the news and rushed over, stopped them. "Wait."
"Wen, what are you doing?" someone asked.
