Chapter 259 Drugging
Li Ergou found out the news, smoked a cigarette, and planned to redeem his two brothers.
He gave up only after learning that the two men had been locked up in the cowshed.
Seeing that he was reluctant to leave and even suggested that she go for a follow-up visit, Shen Tang immediately felt that this was an opportunity.
Since we can't get in touch with the memorial book, someone has to go check it out so we can rescue them if anything happens.
Lu Yanzhou told her to withdraw immediately if anything went wrong.
Chen Tang took Quan Wang and Li Ergou to their village again.
Li Ergou was very excited along the way and introduced their village to Chen Tang from time to time.
Their village is indeed picturesque, but unfortunately the mountains are filled with thugs with bloody hands.
When they arrived at the village, the barefoot doctor named Lin pretended to feel Chen Tang's pulse and prescribed a bunch of medicine before taking Li Ergou away.
"Are you crazy? Don't you know that Hu Zi and the others are coming back soon? If something goes wrong with this deal, I don't think you will have enough lives to survive."
Li Ergou smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have found out clearly that they are from the next town. I have also found out how many people there are in their families. There will be no problem."
"Besides, they have all been to our village. If we leave them outside and don't solve the problem, will Brother Hu be relieved?"
"I have tried it. The man is a woodworker. He doesn't know how to fight. He just has strength. The woman is even weaker. I can hold her with one hand. Give me some medicine and I will chop the man tonight. I will torture the woman for a few days and she will resign herself to her fate."
Lin Zhu did not comment on his words.
Most of the women in the village were trafficked. If there were other men around a woman, they would be knocked unconscious and then killed and thrown to wild bears and wolves to eat.
He took out a packet of drugs from his pocket and handed it to him: "Men are prone to trouble, so chop off his hands and feet tonight, and then interrogate him to see if he has any other background. If not, just throw him into the cellar to die."
Li Ergou patted his shoulder and said, "Thanks, Lao Lin."
With a smile on his face, he brewed a pot of tea in the kitchen and brought it out to pour for the two of them: "Come, drink some tea to warm your body. This tea is the specialty of our Yunshan Village."
Chen Tang and Quan Wang looked at each other.
She picked up the tea and held it in her hand without drinking it: "Brother Li, I see that the people in your village are much more energetic than last time. Every household seems to have a smell of medicine. Is someone sick?"
Li Ergou stared at the bowl in her hand. Seeing that she didn't drink it, he didn't worry: "You're not sick. There are many mosquitoes in our area. The smell of the medicine is to repel mosquitoes."
Chen Tang warmed his hands, put down the bowl under his gaze, and lifted the hair by his ears with his fingers. This action made Li Ergou so fascinated that he licked his lips subconsciously.
"Brother Li, I just came to your village and saw a lot of white and red camellias. Can you take me over to have a look?"
Li Ergou came back to his senses and said, "Okay, okay."
Chen Tang took Quan Wang's arm and walked outside.
Li Ergou looked at the tea, then at the medicine being cooked in the kitchen, and told himself that there was no need to rush, so he took the two of them for a walk outside.
He was not worried that the two would discover the village's secret, since they could not go back tonight anyway.
Chen Tang had just walked to the foot of the mountain and was excitedly telling Quan Wang that there were many wild vegetables and mushrooms here, when suddenly a group of people came down the mountain.
The two big men almost dragged and crutched the commemorative book down the mountain.
Looking at the commemorative book, he looked so disheveled, as if he had fallen many times on the mountain.
The memorial book also saw Chen Tang, and the two of them only looked at each other for a moment before they exchanged glances.
Chen Tang asked Li Ergou in confusion: "How did they come down from the mountain?"
Li Ergou's eyes flickered: "Oh, that woman's name is Xiao Shen, she was engaged to Aniu from our village, her family took the betrothal gift from Aniu's family, but she didn't want to marry Aniu, so she eloped with a man, and Aniu went to catch her.
This woman is really indecent. Aniu gave her a betrothal gift, but she cheated on him. If she wasn't from the same village, we would have sent her to the cowshed long ago."
"You must be tired from walking. My uncle's medicine must be ready. You can drink it when you get back."
Chen Tang nodded, and he and Quan Wang waited for Li Ergou to return.
The barefoot doctor named Lin poured the medicine into a bowl and asked Chen Tang to drink it while it was hot.
When Chen Tang smelled the smell of medicine, he frowned, as if he couldn't bear it, and ran out to vomit.
Quanwang picked up the medicine and followed.
He reacted so quickly that Li Ergou and Lin Zhu were stunned. When they chased after him, Quan Wang seemed to have finished the medicine in his hand, while Chen Tang walked all the way to the well, scooped up some water and started rinsing his mouth.
Quan Wang kept saying beside her: "Look at you, you can't even drink medicine, you want to vomit as soon as you smell the medicine, how can you get pregnant like this?"
Li Ergou smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Okay, Brother Chen, this medicine tastes bad, and you can't blame Comrade Ji for everything."
He took Quan Wang back to drink tea and said, "I think it's going to rain today. Why don't you stay at my house first and go back tomorrow? You can't get wet in the rain after taking this medicine."
Quan Wang didn't agree, so he pulled Li Ergou and complained about all the faults of Chen Tang.
He also said that he regretted it and would not have married Chen Tang just for her looks.
Li Ergou's eyes were full of coldness and ridicule when he heard this.
Men are just never satisfied. If he had such a beautiful wife, he would keep her as his lover!
As he was talking, Li Ergou suddenly realized that Chen Tang didn't seem to come back.
He was about to go find someone, but Quan Wang pulled him to sit down and he kept complaining, "Hey, Brother Li, don't worry about my wife. She must have taken some medicine and felt uncomfortable so she went to get some fresh air. She will be back soon. I know women better than you. She said she felt miserable but actually she just wanted someone to comfort her. I'm so busy every day, how can I have the time to comfort someone?"
Li Ergou's face darkened slightly. He glanced at Lin Zhu, signaling him to go and check on the person.
The barefoot doctor named Lin was at the foot of the mountain, close to Afang’s home, and Shen Tang walked a few steps before encountering the dishevelled memorial book.
The other party pulled her to a corner: "Why are you here?"
Chen Tang: "Li Ergou has set his sights on me, I have to come."
"To make a long story short." Ji Nian Shu looked around and lowered his voice: "Your man is indeed in the mountain, and he is fine now. I have contacted him, but he refused to leave, saying that a big fish is coming. Please pass the message to Lu Yanzhou, and they will meet at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow."
Chen Tang: “You’re not leaving?”
Memorial book: "I can't leave. If I leave, I will alert them. I have already revealed my identity to them. I will find an excuse to go to the mountain tomorrow night. You will pick me up then."
"Okay." Chen Tang nodded and left immediately.
Seeing Lin Zhu coming to find her, Shen Tang immediately squatted on the ground and retched.
Lin Zhu came over and saw that her face was red from vomiting, but he didn't doubt it. After all, he found the medicine tasted bad.
Chen Tang rested for a while, then stood up shakily by holding onto the wall, and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, I have never liked drinking tea or taking medicine since I was a child."
Lin Zhu didn't say anything, turned around and went back.
Quan Wang was still bragging about Li Ergou. After Chen Tang came back, he said with a shrug, "Brother Li is a good man. He let us stay at their house for one night before leaving."
