"Oh no, it looks like the old man has had a stroke?"
"I heard that the old man almost had a stroke last time."
"My goodness, if this happens again, will the old man even survive?"
"Go find a doctor right away!"
Mr. Cao Yu squeezed through and scolded, "What are you looking for? Hurry up and carry the person inside, I'll show him."
He's a doctor, why would you need to see another doctor?
but……
“You should seriously think of what to do. We can’t just wait and watch Shen Wanli’s family die, can we?”
Mr. Cao Yu had no other choice, so he turned around and followed the person into the house to carefully take Mr. Shen's pulse.
Shen Qianli and his family also rushed over.
Actually, Shen Qianli's family deliberately didn't come.
"Shen Qianli, your own brother is in this kind of trouble, and you're really late?"
The winner couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
Most of the villagers came to see, but Shen Wanli's older brother was the only one who didn't come.
Mrs. Zhou blushed, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Shen Qianli retorted without hesitation, "What do you know? If we came, wouldn't that bastard Shen Pengfei have wiped us all out?"
In that situation, it wouldn't matter how many people came.
It would be better to protect ourselves first, so that we can find a way to rescue Shen Wanli's family.
"you……"
“Alright, honey, Qianli is right. In that situation, it wouldn’t have mattered if he came.” Liu Dasheng pulled his wife along.
They're brothers, why say such things?
Then, with a smile, he asked, "So, Brother Qianli, what are your thoughts?"
"Dasheng's family, hurry up and check if there's any brewed wine left that wasn't taken away. Also, we need to find a way out. They took people away under the pretext that the wine poisoned them, so as long as we can prove that the wine wasn't poisoned, we can rescue them."
Shen Qianli is no pushover either.
The crux of the problem was immediately apparent.
"But the drinks they took must have been poisoned," Madam Fu said anxiously.
They insisted on taking the drinks with them, wasn't it just to make it easier to poison the drinks?
Shen Qianli retorted, "Poisoning the wine? Ha! My brother sells wine to make money. Why would they poison the wine for no reason? To send their whole family to jail?"
Their reasoning is too flimsy. I think, perhaps there might be…
"not necessarily."
Zhou Yushu suddenly interrupted Shen Qianli.
Chen Qianli was displeased.
He can't stand the sight of this son-in-law now!
"Then tell me, how could they possibly come up with such a lame excuse..."
"The person behind this is of high status. In her eyes, killing an ordinary citizen is no more than stepping on an ant. Father, if you were to step on an ant, would you go out of your way to find a proper, plausible reason?"
Zhou Yushu calmly countered with a question.
That's a princess.
Even in the capital city, where powerful and wealthy people abound, a princess of that rank holds considerable status.
Especially in a small village like this.
Zhou Yushu looked around and said the most chilling words in a calm voice: "Even if this princess kills everyone in Lotus Village right now, it won't mean anything to her."
Are ordinary people important?
Of course it's important.
Does it matter if one or two insignificant ants die?
It's not important.
It's cruel, but that's the reality for the powerful and wealthy.
"...This is outrageous! We did nothing wrong, but just because we're ordinary people, they can bully and kill us at will?"
Madam Fu's eyes were filled with tears, and she was so angry that she was trembling all over.
This is such a blatant disregard for human life!
But after the anger subsided, everyone thought about what Zhou Yushu said and found it to be more reasonable than what Shen Qianli said.
yes.
Why do you need a reason to step on an ant?
What's more, they've already been very kind and given us a reason, and now you dare to jump out and say that the reason is untenable?
joke.
They seem to lack any appreciation for the kindness of benefactors.
“Unless we find a higher-ranking official to handle this matter, we must go out and find that Manager Gao. We also need to report this to the prefect!” Zhou Yushu said.
Governors and prefects are both officials of the third rank.
Although he was one rank lower than a princess, he was a minister who held real power.
How could one possibly be afraid of a princess, who is equivalent to a county magistrate?
"Isn't that just a bunch of nonsense? If we could get out, we would have already done so," Shen Qianli rolled his eyes.
So all that talk was just nonsense?
At this moment, Dasheng's family ran out carrying a jar of wine, saying happily, "There's another jar of wine here, hidden in the corner, which they didn't notice."
"But how do we get out?"
Chirp!
Chirp!
Little Gray and Little Black were shouting frantically, but no one could understand what they were saying, or perhaps they simply didn't care about the sparrows.
The little gray dog got even angrier and started chattering even louder.
Instead, the annoyed Liu Dasheng threw a handful of pebbles at him, while cursing, "If you yell again, I'll pluck all your hair off!"
I'm so annoyed!
Little Gray: Ugh, I'm so angry! A bunch of idiots!
Xiao Hei: I think you're the idiot. You're chattering away here, do you think they can understand you? You're such a useless piece of trash.
Little Grey: You think you're so smart? Then tell me what to do now?
Xiao Hei: Hmm, let's go deep into the mountains and find the King. We can't do anything else, we have to make the King come out and bite that bastard to death!
Little Grey: You're right, let's do it that way!
The two brothers immediately flew away, a scene that went unnoticed by anyone.
Just as everyone was discussing how to leave Lotus Village, a still very young voice suddenly rang out.
"In fact, they may not be able to block all the ways out."
"Um?"
Where else can we go?
When everyone turned around, they found that it was actually a strange little girl.
Who is this?
Are they from their village?
It was Madam Fu who recognized her and pulled her over: "Ya Ya, do you think you have a solution?"
That's right, it was Chu Yaya who spoke.
Chu Yaya was not afraid of the scrutinizing gazes of so many people, and said gracefully, "Up on the mountain."
"Up in the mountain?"
"That's right, our village is right next to the mountains. They can't possibly seal off all the entrances to the mountains, can they?"
Everyone was pleasantly surprised.
Zhou Yushu said, "But the mountains connected to our village only have a few exits to the city. If they send people to guard those exits, that will be enough."
Since the other party has been so ruthless, they won't let it end halfway.
They've probably thought of every possible way out.
"That's the intersection you people use," Chu Yaya said coolly.
But none of that could stop her!
Everyone: ...
What do you mean by saying that's a crossroads for you people?
It's as if she's not human.
Not human?
Um?
etc!
