The next morning, when Song Yuehua was working in the fields, Tangyuan came over in a donkey cart with an anxious look on his face.
"Sister Song!"
Why did Tang Yuan come at this time? Song Yuehua thought something happened in the chess hall and asked hurriedly, "What happened?"
"Sister Song..."
Tang Yuan looked around, quickly pulled the man aside, and whispered, "Something big happened. Brother Rushan was beaten and seriously injured last night."
"What!"
Song Yuehua panicked and asked hurriedly, "Is anything serious?"
Tang Yuan whispered, "Although it is serious, fortunately it is not life-threatening."
After hearing this, Song Yuehua threw the hoe in her hand on the ground without saying a word, said something to Tan Xiuxiu, got on Tangyuan's donkey cart, and headed straight for the county town.
Tang Yuan drove the donkey cart while talking, "Brother Rushan told us not to tell the villagers, especially not to let Aunt Tang and Uncle Erniu know..."
"Um."
Song Yuehua hummed with a cold face, and Tangyuan told her the whole thing in detail while driving the carriage.
"Brother Rushan saw the person who beat him. It was Mu Erlang's wife. Dandan went to report to the authorities. I rushed back as soon as I arrived at the county. I don't know if the officials caught the person."
Mu Erlang’s wife was the manic Yan.
Since they knew who the criminal was, how could the officers not catch him?
"When did you report it to the authorities?" Song Yuehua asked.
Tang Yuan said, "Brother Rushan didn't go home last night. Brother Xiaohu searched for him for a long time before he found him in a dark alley. At that time, Brother Rushan was covered in blood. It was the middle of the night and the clinic was closed. Brother Xiaohu secretly went to Doctor Gu's house and saved Brother Rushan..."
"After Brother Rushan woke up, he told us not to tell his family. He only asked me to find Sister Song."
Covered in blood...
Song Yuehua's hands were clenched until they turned white.
The donkey cart drove straight to the You Mansion. When it reached the door, Song Yuehua jumped off the cart and rushed into the yard.
"Zhang Rushan!"
Song Yuehua shouted, and Pan An and Zhou Xiaohu both came out of the house.
"Sister Song." "Daya."
After entering the room, she saw Zhang Rushan lying on the bed covered with a quilt. She couldn't see the condition of his body, but his face was swollen beyond recognition. When he saw her, he forced a smile.
"I'm sorry to have scared you." Zhang Rushan said in a hoarse voice.
Song Yuehua asked Zhou Xiaohu, "What did Doctor Gu say?"
Zhou Xiaohu said, "He's seriously injured, with several broken bones and too much blood loss. He has to stay in bed for a while, but luckily his life is not in danger."
Song Yuehua hummed and said, "Xiao Hu, from today on, you should cook more meat for him to replenish his blood. Keep the money for the vegetables first, and settle the bill with him after he gets better."
"Hey," Zhang Rushan yelled, and somehow pulled the wound, frowning in pain, "Can't you be gentler?"
Song Yuehua sat down beside his bed and asked, "Are you sure it was Yan?"
"I see it clearly." Zhang Rushan could only open his mouth.
Song Yuehua asked Zhou Xiaohu, "What did the government say?"
"Brother Wu Zheng came over today and said he was still looking for someone." Pan An immediately responded.
Song Yuehua stood up and glanced out the window. It was impossible not to find this woman if she was hiding in the county town. If she was to be found, it would only be a matter of time.
"Where is the Taoist temple where Mu Erlang is hiding?" Song Yuehua looked at Zhang Rushan and asked.
Zhang Rushan looked at her from between his swollen eyes. "Bai Shi Guan is not too far from here. You want to..."
Before he could finish his words, Song Yuehua got up and left the room, explaining something to Zhou Xiaohu.
"Take good care of him. Ask Master Ma to tell Liu Xue to bring a few chickens over. Stew one for him every day. As for the pork..."
"I don't need a few pieces of meat from him." Zhou Xiaohu said.
Song Yuehua hummed, and when she reached the door, she said, "For this matter, wait until he recovers a little and is not so scary, then let the Zhang family know."
"Daya, where are you going?" Zhou Xiaohu asked.
Song Yuehua's expression was icy. "She killed Zhang Rushan. It would not be excessive for me to take her life."
After saying that, Song Yuehua strode away.
"Daya, you can't kill anyone!"
Zhou Xiaohu wanted to chase him out, but Zhang Rushan was still calling out in the house.
"Don't let her be impulsive." Zhang Rushan asked Zhou Xiaohu to persuade Song Yuehua.
Zhou Xiaohu, "..."
Will what he says work? Who will listen?
Baishishan Temple is not far from the county town and it only takes half a day to get there.
No matter when Yan sets out, as long as she finds Mu Erlang before her, Yan will come to her.
Song Yuehua rented a horse at a horse shop and met Wu Zheng as soon as she left the shop.
"Where are you going?" Wu Zheng asked.
Song Yuehua asked back, "Have you found Yan?"
Wu Zheng frowned, "Not yet."
"Mu Erlang is at Baishishan Temple. I'm going to look for him. Do you want to come with me?" Song Yuehua asked.
Wu Zheng glanced at the several yamen runners who came with him, nodded, and went over to say something to the man.
Seeing Song Yuehua mount the horse skillfully, Wu Zheng looked up at her and asked, "Can you ride a horse by yourself?"
"I can ride a horse, can you?" Song Yuehua said.
Wu Zheng nodded, then also led a horse out from the stable.
The two men rode out of the city gate together.
Originally, Wu Zheng wanted to ask Song Yuehua about Zhang Rushan’s current situation on the way.
As a result, as soon as she got out of the city, she knocked her legs hard and the horse started to gallop wildly.
Wu Zheng, "..."
Song Yuehua had some considerations when she called Wu Zheng along this time.
