Chapter 239: Questioning

"Why don't you go and ask the village doctor, Wu Mian and his wife, you carefully clean up this room and bring this woman out, it's a human life!" The village chief's words were full of sorrow, if he hadn't seen such a situation today, he really didn't know that there was a house in their village that hid such a poor woman.

Soon, the village doctor was invited.

The three houses of the Wu family were brightly lit by candles, illuminating every corner, bright, yellow, warm candlelight, at this moment, in the eyes of the village chief, it seemed to be extremely cold and dark.

Candles can illuminate the darkness of a house in vain, but they cannot shine into people's hearts.

Wu Mian and his wife stood aside, didn't say anything, just looked at it in a daze, although Wu Mian was stunned, but he was not too afraid.

Because he saw the village chief's little friend clearly, and when he saw Li Jicai's face clearly, he didn't show any unusual emotions, as if he was just the right amount of surprise, and it looked like he saw Li Jicai for the first time.

Even if the village doctor is invited, at most he will see Li Jicai, and they can't take care of the others, after all, Li Jicai is now a member of his Wu family.

But even so, Wu Mian was still a little afraid of seeing the village chief's eyes.

I was afraid to see his reproachful eyes, after all, they had imprisoned this woman in their own home, without food or water, and she was rotting on the bed regardless of it.

After the village doctor came, he was not the only one who came, but other villagers also came one after another.

Wu Mian never imagined that it would be in this way that everyone could see the prospective daughter-in-law of the Wu family who they had never seen and wanted to see the true face.

Where is this prospective daughter-in-law, she's just a slave, right?

There were eight or nine people standing in the hall of the Wu family, everyone whispering to each other, pointing and pointing and saying something.

Li Jicai has been jointly carried out of the house by the village doctor and Qi Qingchu, and a floor bunk was set up in the hall, that is, the quilt was hastily spread on the ground, and then Li Jicai was put on it.

The other party was already emaciated and inhuman, his body was bent into a bowed shape, and his back was bent, not like a young woman, but like an old lady of seventy or eighty years old.

Brushing her hair open, her bony face can be vaguely seen.

Qi Qingchu looked at her like this, and felt a little uncomfortable, this time she suffered a big disaster again and suffered a lot.

This village doctor is thin, wearing a cyan robe on his body, there is a feeling of drifting without wind, and his face is also yellow and thin, looking a little embarrassed.

I don't know how good it is.

The village chief had a gloomy face, paying attention to the scene where the village doctor treated Li Jicai.

The people standing next to the village chief were terrified and did not dare to come out, for fear of angering the village chief.

Don't look at the village chief is very approachable on weekdays, but if something happens, he is also very strict.

The people of the Wu family don't know what they've done, it looks very serious!

Is it true that people are prone to bad when they are rich?

Everyone didn't speak, just waiting for the village doctor to stop treating the woman, and then ask what the truth was.

This thin village doctor cut her pulse, picked Li Jicai's eyelids, and opened her mouth with her hands, and carefully examined it up and down, and the people in the village did not pay so much attention to it, nor did they have so many scruples.

Whether it is a man or a woman, the most important thing is to cure the disease, as long as it can be cured, men and women are prevented or whatever, as long as it is not too much, no one will say anything.

It's just that Qi Qingchu frowned slightly dissatisfied when he saw the doctor raising his hand at Li Jicai.

This doctor is afraid that he is a quack, and he has not seen well after tossing for a long time, and he does not know what he is doing.

Just when everyone was waiting a little impetuous, the doctor finally stood up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this woman's right leg is broken, and she has not been treated for a long time, and this leg is afraid that it will leave sequelae.

But that's not the point, this woman has been locked up in the room and hasn't seen the light of day for a long time, right? Look at the eyes are a little photophobic.

In addition, this woman has not eaten or drunk for many days, and her internal friction is serious, so she is afraid that she will have to recuperate for a while.

I can't die, but my vitality is greatly damaged, and I am afraid that it will not work if I delay it for a few more days. ”

The doctor said very sincerely, according to his medical skills, in fact, he couldn't see much of it, and he could only see such simple things.

"You go and prescribe some medicine to him and see how to start the treatment, and you are solely responsible for this.

After all, it's a human life! The village chief's last sentence deliberately accentuated his tone, as if he were warning.

Hearing this, Wu Mian and Wu Mian and his wife subconsciously lowered their heads, because the eyes of all the villagers fell on their heads in unison.

"Alas, yes." The village doctor respects the old village chief very much, Chagouzi Village has been able to live peacefully and harmoniously for so many years, and this village chief has a pivotal position.

Qi Qingchu slowly retreated behind the village chief, and at this moment, he was really not as useful as the village chief in front of him.

I don't know which villager it was, so I brought a stool first, put it next to the village chief, motioned for him to dissipate his anger, and sat down first, and then another woman took the initiative to pour a cup of tea, and then brought it to the village chief's side.

But the village chief didn't pay attention to anyone, and at this moment, his sharp eyes fell straight on Wu Mian's mother and son.

Regarding this woman no matter what, Wu Mian should give him an explanation, what is going on.

Unconsciously, a bunch of people gathered outside the door of the Wu family, and gradually stood at the door of the Wu family.

Wu Mian's old lady dodged her eyes, lowered her head and couldn't raise it, she was very embarrassed, she was a little panicked by being watched by so many villagers.

Wu Mian turned from panic and anxiety at the beginning to annoyance, he was a little dissatisfied, why did the village chief make a big deal about this matter?

Obviously, this is his family affair, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere.

Seeing that there are more and more onlookers, things are getting worse and worse, and the more people know, the more dangerous his situation will be for Wu Mian.

"Wu Mian, do you have anything to say?" The village chief, visibly suppressing his courage, asked.

As the head of a village, he not only bears the responsibility of protecting the villagers, but also has to be responsible for each villager.

Wu Mian secretly hid a woman at home, and this woman was embarrassed and miserable, if it wasn't for the Wu family's deliberate so, how could a good woman become like this, even a beggar.

At least the beggar is still free, and this woman does not have even the most basic freedom.

The orphans and widows of the Wu family have no relatives next to them, they all know, and the people in the village know the roots, not to mention Wu Mian, who has any distant relatives or the like, if there were any, their family would not have almost starved to death at all.

What the village chief was most worried about was that Wu Mian couldn't think of abducting this woman back to the mountains from outside, so she was secretly tied up in the house, which was a crime.

Moreover, not only this layer, if the woman brought back by Wu Mian was the woman that those officers and soldiers were looking for, the consequences would be unimaginable, Wu Mian was joking with the lives of a villager.

"Village chief, this matter is my family's family matter, so don't tell jokes for outsiders." Wu Mian avoided the important and kept his mouth shut about Li Jicai's origin.

But obviously, the village chief would not spare him, let alone let him fool this matter like this.

"You said this is a family matter, okay, today in front of everyone, you hid a mysterious woman at home and imprisoned her, in case someone dies, the government will track it down, and the whole village will be unlucky with you, in case you fall into a crime, can you afford it? You're joking with the whole village, the lives of the whole village. ”

Originally, some villagers heard that this was someone's family matter, and their hearts also retreated, Wu Mian's family has always been good to the people in the village, and they can't reach out and can't care about this matter, so they don't plan to care, but now when they hear the village chief say this, they can't help but hesitate a little in their hearts, but will things really be as bad as the village chief said? It's just a foreign woman.

"Village chief, this woman is so good to stay in my house, she won't cause any death, it's because she herself is not in good health, and it's not normal to be crazy, he doesn't eat by himself, he doesn't sleep by himself, it's not our doing."

Wu Mian continued to lie, his face did not change and his heart did not beat, and calmly made the village chief only feel that he was extremely terrible.

Next to Wu Mian, his wife heard Wu Mian say this, and stopped talking.

The truth was not at all as her son had claimed, that when they first came back, the woman could jump, jump, eat, and laugh.

And now, the current appearance is indeed not the same as it was at the beginning, and to a large extent, it is also because Wu Mian did not let her invite the village doctor to come over to help with the treatment, and it was delayed all the way to the present, it can be said that Wu Mian did this deliberately, but Wu Mian and his wife dare not say it, if they say it, it is equivalent to betraying her son?

After all, she and her son are one, so they should be one and the same.

"Do you think I'm going to believe you when you say that? If she was insane, why didn't the village doctor say it? Village doctor, tell everyone if this woman is crazy? ”

The village doctor who was suddenly named was also a little flustered, he didn't see Li Jicai wake up, how do you know if he is crazy?

"It's... This ...... "Well, the village doctor, who was originally writing a prescription, unconsciously stopped his pen when he heard the culture of the village chief, and then scratched his head, which seemed to be very entangled.

Wu Mian waved his hand impatiently, he didn't want to hear such words at all, at the moment he just wanted to send everyone away quickly, not to let this matter expand the impact again, if it leaked out, it would definitely be a blow that he couldn't bear.

The village chief was indeed vicious enough, and almost guessed that this woman was the woman the government was looking for, and if it was confirmed, everyone in the village would suffer.
