Chapter 6 Waste Utilization
Along with the dull sound of a heavy object hitting the ground, a woman's scream was heard in the yard, followed by a commotion, with people shouting for help and calling for a doctor.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from afar. Village chief Lin came back with his two sons, and also came the village barefoot doctor Yuan Langzhong.
When Doctor Yuan saw Chen San's condition, he said that he was dying and asked them to prepare for his funeral as soon as possible.
"Brother Yuan, San'er is the only child of the Chen family. If anything happens to him, the Chen family will be extinct. Please be kind and give him some medicine to save him!" Chen Guifang rushed forward and grabbed Doctor Yuan's arm to prevent him from leaving.
Doctor Yuan sighed, "Many of his bones are broken, and his internal organs are damaged. He's hanging on by a thread. Even if we can barely save him, he's a cripple. He'll have to lie in bed for the rest of his life, being cared for by others."
After hearing this, Chen Guifang could not bear the shock. Her eyes rolled back and she fell backwards, fainting.
"This is causing more trouble!" The village chief's wife, Liu, quickly asked Lin Lao Er to send the man back to the house to lie down, and asked Lin Lao Da to go to Liushu Village to notify the Chen family to come, so that if Chen San really died, the Chen family would not blame them.
After much persuasion from Village Chief Lin, Doctor Yuan finally agreed to treat Chen San's injuries, but he could not guarantee whether he could survive.
Village chief Lin thanked him repeatedly. While Doctor Yuan was setting Chen San's bones, he raised his hand and invited Liu to go to the yard to talk.
Liu's eyes looked straight into the house. "Master, why don't we carry the person out first? It's the same if we treat the injuries outside. It would be so unlucky if someone died in our house!"
"Shut up!" Village Chief Lin glared at her. "That girl Erya said Chen San suddenly flew in from outside the yard. Is that true?"
"It's true! It almost hit me on the head." Liu was still frightened. "Boss, do you think Chen San's enemies have come here? Will they target our family? Beating him up like this is like they're deliberately trying to kill him."
"No outsiders have entered the village today. Who among us would dare to provoke him?" Village Chief Lin said gloomily. "Didn't you chase after him to see who threw him in?"
Liu shook her head. She was panicked and scared at that time. She was only thinking about not letting anyone die. How could she care about so many other things?
"Idiot!" Village Chief Lin cursed angrily.
Liu felt wronged, but did not dare to refute.
Thinking that Doctor Yuan was still there, Village Chief Lin suppressed his anger and didn't continue to curse. Instead, he lowered his voice and leaned closer, "Let me ask you, when Chen San left, did he tell him where he was going?"
"The second son's wife said he went to look for Luo Si and Liu Er." Mrs. Liu paused and looked up at her husband. "Master, he saw the hairpin. Could he be going to look for..."
"Shut up!" Village Chief Lin glared at her warningly. He turned around and glanced at the room. Seeing that Doctor Yuan wasn't paying attention, he lowered his voice and said, "Keep those words to yourself! When someone from the Chen family comes, you stay quiet and keep your mouth shut!"
Shang Wan, who was hiding in the tree, lowered his eyes and stared at the two people whispering in the yard, his eyes darkening.
It was no coincidence that Chen San came to the door.
But why?
"You and the second son take care of the house." Village Chief Lin bent down and patted the mud off his trouser legs. He said to Liu, "I'll go to the Luo and Liu families to take a look."
Liu asked hurriedly, "Master, the house is in chaos, why are you going to those two houses?"
"Don't worry about it." Village chief Lin put his hands behind his back and walked out quickly.
The branches outside the yard swayed gently, and the people standing on them had left.
Shang Wan woke up the unconscious Liu Er with a slap. Under the horrified gazes of Liu Er and Luo Si, he pinched their mouths open and threw something to each of them.
"What did you feed us?" Luo Si pinched his neck and coughed hard, trying to spit it out.
"Nothing." Shang Wan smiled. "It's just a little bit of poison that can cause your intestines to rupture, your seven orifices to bleed, and you to suffer excruciating pain."
Both of them:!!!
Xiaohuan quickly covered her round little ears.
Little Yuanyuan didn't pay any attention to what terrible things her mother was saying. She used her short arms to pull the rope that tied the wild duck, trying to pluck out its feathers.
"Don't worry, taking the antidote regularly won't kill you." Shang Wan looked at Luo Si and Liu Er and raised two fingers. "Now, I'll give you two choices. First, I'll throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves, and I guarantee you'll die without a complete corpse. Second, I'll let you go home and give you the antidote regularly every month."
"Which one do you choose?"
"Two!" Luo Si and Liu Er said in unison. Who wants to die when they can live?
"Good, you know what's best for you." Shang Wan approached the two of them, "Before I let you go, you have to help me first..."
She lowered her voice and said a few words, glancing at the two of them coldly, "If you mess up, don't wait for the poison to take effect. I'll still throw you into the back mountains to feed the wolves."
Liu Er and Luo Si quickly made a promise, fearing that Shang Wan would go back on his word, and even swore an oath to the sky.
Shang Wan untied the hemp rope for the two of them.
As soon as his hands and feet were free, Liu Er immediately started tearing off his clothes, not only his own but also Luo Si's. Scared, Xiao Huan swung a kitchen knife at him, which barely grazed Liu Er's scalp before being caught by Shang Wan.
Liu Er looked at the sharp blade of the kitchen knife with lingering fear, rolled on the ground a few times, smeared mud on his face, and smeared some of Luo Si's blood on his clothes.
After the two men were in a miserable state, Liu Er carried the broken-legged Luo Si on his back and ran out. After running for a distance, he shouted for help at the top of his lungs.
Xiaohuan was so anxious that she tried to chase after him, but Shang Wan held her back.
She was confused. "Young Madam, aren't you going to send them to the authorities? Are you just going to let them go like this?"
"It's temporary." Shang Wan said, "Don't worry, they can't get away. Let's make use of them first. Once everything is clear, it won't be too late to send them to the authorities."
The person Xiaohuan trusts the most now is Shang Wan. She scratched her head and asked, "How can we recycle waste?"
"You'll find out in a moment."
Two hours later, the old couple of the Chen family rushed to Yushu Village, crying and wailing, and started quarreling with the Lin family. Almost everyone in the village ran to watch the fun.
While killing the fish, Xiaohuan looked towards the village chief's house. Of course, she couldn't see anything, she could only hear some noises.
"Young Madam, we can hear the quarrel even from so far away."
"It's not just a quarrel, it's a fight." Shang Wan listened, annoyed by the noise, and stopped paying attention. She grabbed the chubby little hand and kissed it twice, making the little guy curl his big eyes and call for his mother softly.
The wild duck that was plucked bald nearby quacked sadly.
The commotion at the village chief's house lasted almost half an hour before it died down. Liu Er and Luo Si said that the three of them went into the mountains to hunt pheasants and encountered a blind bear, and Chen San was injured by the blind bear.
Because the three of them always wore the same pants, and Luo Si's legs were broken, and Liu Er's hands and face were covered in blood, and he looked seriously injured as well, the villagers believed what they said.
The old couple of the Chen family temporarily stayed at the Lin family and would take Chen San back after he survived.
In the evening, Shitou came back with the last rays of sunset, dejectedly bringing back some bad news.
Three days later, Lu Chengjing will be escorted to Beijing for execution.
