Chapter 431 Suffering the consequences
The medicine used by Gu Xixi and the means used by Mu Nanzhao were both intended to save Gu Tiezhu's life.
However, since this was Lu Jing's first time doing such a thing, she might not have been careful enough and might have hit Gu Tiezhu hard and sent him away.
Gu Xixi was about to bend down to check whether he was dead or alive, but was stopped by Mu Nanzhao.
He just raised his foot and kicked twice, kicking Gu Tiezhu face up.
After just one glance, Mu Nanzhao said, "Not dead."
At this time, Gu Tiezhu opened his eyes, still frowning because of the pain.
But when he saw Mu Nanzhao's face, his eyes suddenly widened with fear.
Although Gu Tiezhu is despicable and vicious, he is also cowardly.
He felt that women like Gu Xixi and Lu Jing were weaker than himself, so he dared to wield the butcher knife against them.
But when he faced a man like Mu Nanzhao, he naturally felt fear in his heart.
Especially since he had suffered a great loss at the hands of Mu Nanzhao, the fear he felt was deeply engraved in his mind.
Mu Nanzhao quickly noticed something was wrong and asked, "What did you feed him just now?"
"The person is clearly awake, why is there no movement?"
Gu Xixi smiled awkwardly, "Some medicine that can calm him down."
Mu Nanzhao looked at Gu Xixi deeply, as if smiling, "The boss is very capable."
"It seems that even I won't dare to wrong my boss easily in the future."
Gu Xixi boldly moved forward and looked up at him, making eye contact.
"I'd like to hear how you plan to wrong me."
Mu Nanzhao lowered his head and kissed Gu Xixi's forehead, "Like this."
His lips continued to move down, kissing the tip of the nose and lips one by one.
“And this.”
The moonlight set, illuminating the grass.
As their lips touched, Gu Xixi burst out laughing.
"You really know how to choose a place without considering the environment."
Mu Nanzhao looked at Gu Tiezhu and said with disgust, "It really spoils the fun."
"Someone come."
Several accompanying secret guards emerged in the darkness.
They took Gu Tiezhu away quietly and sent him to the Qingtian County Government Office overnight.
They will be charged with serious crimes such as highway robbery and attempted murder.
Mu Nanzhao said, "If we just killed this thing and threw it to the wolves or threw it back to his yard, no one would say anything."
"But now that these kids have gotten involved, it's impossible to keep it secret anymore."
"We have to take into account what people say, especially our family's reputation in the village."
"We must go to the government office and have a public opinion."
Gu Xixi stared at him, her eyes full of smiles, "Our family?"
"Then I have to thank you for being so thoughtful for our family."
Gu Xixi originally wanted to kill Gu Tiezhu.
However, since there were so many young children present, she could only temporarily switch to Plan B that she had mentioned to the old doctor before.
This drug will damage the peripheral nerves throughout the body, the effects are irreversible for life, and naturally there is no antidote.
The person who takes the drug will become deaf, dumb, and paralyzed, but conscious.
In other words, Gu Tiezhu will never be able to curse or harm anyone again in his life.
Just like he had pretended to be crazy before, from now on he could stay in that bed peacefully.
Like a living dead, he waits for people to feed him, take care of his excrement and urine, and waits for death in a conscious state.
After returning home, Mu Nanzhao naturally appeared in front of the children.
These children were all attending the village school, so they were naturally very happy to see Mr. Chen again.
The next day, the whole village knew that Gu Xixi's husband, Mr. Chen, the former village schoolmaster, had returned.
Mr. Chen was the first teacher to establish the village school, and the villagers all remember his kindness.
Even during the busiest time of wheat harvest, people still came to visit our home.
At the same time, Gu Laosan and Liu were looking for their son all over the village.
Gu Tiezhu hasn't returned home since last night.
I asked many people and they all said they hadn't seen it.
In fact, except for Gu Xixi's family, no adults in the village knew where Gu Tiezhu had gone.
Because Shitou, Gou Wa and other friends have secretly agreed to keep it a secret.
The seriousness of the act is no less than that of the blood oath made by the outlaws.
However, the torment of Gu Laosan and Liu did not last long.
Several runners came to the yamen that afternoon.
As the head of the family, Gu Laosan collapsed to the ground after receiving his son's arrest notice and listening to the yamen runner read out the confession.
Liu asked like a madman, "My son has gone crazy, how could he do such a thing!"
"You said he was a highway robber and attempted murder. Who did he kill?"
The yamen runner said coldly, "If I tell you the name of the victim, won't that give you a chance to take revenge?"
"There were eyewitnesses who saw Gu Tiezhu crouching with a knife in his hand. He had a premeditated plan and a weapon. He is definitely not a madman or a fool!"
County Magistrate Jiang is a reliable person. After half a day's work, he actually found a witness other than the victim.
And there's more than one person.
They saw Gu Tiezhu wandering on the official road from Huachidu Village to Qingtian County.
It was also clearly stated that Gu Tiezhu was seen hiding in the grass by the roadside with a hatchet and a short knife.
Gu Laosan calmed down a little when he thought that his son was not beheaded and that he had not yet lost his family line.
"Excuse me, sir, when can we visit the prison?"
The yamen runner glanced at him and said, "No need to go."
"We will send them back to you tomorrow."
Gu Laosan and Liu both thought they had heard wrongly.
The yamen runner said, "Because the victim fought back in self-defense, Gu Tiezhu got hit on the head and is now paralyzed."
"I was locked up for one night, and the shit and urine were all over the floor. The smell was terrible..."
"The government didn't even give him a single room, and no one cared about his eating, drinking, and toileting."
"So, you should continue to raise the good children you raised."
After the yamen runner finished speaking, he turned and left.
Liu's eyes rolled back and she fainted immediately.
On that day, two major events happened in Huachidu Village, one good and one bad.
Good news, Mr. Chen finally came back, breaking the rumor that Gu Xixi intended to marry her cousin County Magistrate Jiang.
Bad news, someone from Huachidu Village has been sent to jail again.
But this one didn’t seem to be sent in by Gu Xixi.
I also heard that Gu Tiezhu had been pretending to be crazy and stupid, but in fact he was up to something bad and wanted to make a big fortune.
But he failed to rob and became paralyzed instead.
The villagers were all frightened after hearing this, fortunately Gu Tiezhu was not targeting any family in the village.
Otherwise, I'm afraid he would really succeed.
Everyone thinks that it would be better if this kind of evil is paralyzed, so that there is no need to worry about him harming people again.
After the wheat is harvested, it needs to be threshed and spread out to dry.
Every household in Huachidu Village has started celebrating in advance by rolling noodles and making pancakes.
After the grain was weighed, each family's income increased significantly compared to previous years, even exceeding the amount that Gu Xixi had mentioned before.
However, the yield per mu of those households that did not apply foliar fertilizer for the last time was still lower than that of others.
They were happy about the rare increase in production and harvest, but at the same time, they felt ashamed and did not dare to speak when everyone discussed the per-mu yield.
At this time, Gu Xixi left the village and went to the border with Mu Nanzhao.
It is said to be the same path, but in fact it just happens to be the same route.
Mu Nanzhao was going to the military camp to discuss plans for defensive fortifications, while Gu Xixi was going to inspect this season's grain harvest.
