Chapter 47: Misfortune and Injustice (1)
After Chu Yu and Zhong Peony walked together for some time, they were not too far from Gushu Mountain. One day, the two were walking on the road, and Chu Yu was thinking about finding someone.
Chu Yu thought to himself: "The area of Gushu Mountain is so large, after I arrive, where should I start to find someone? Now that it has been decades, will anyone still know Zhou Cangping? I really hope that God will bless and bless Zhou Cangping smoothly, otherwise when will the senior sister be saved, the Shi Zhuang family still does not know the whereabouts of the senior sister, and they must be very anxious......
After Chu Yu was released by Yang Yinghua, she thought about going back to Yunhe Villa first, reporting Shi Xinhui's detention to Shi Wanshan, and letting Shi Wanshan find a way to rescue her. But then he thought that if he reported this to Shi Wanshan in advance, and if Shi Wanshan couldn't rescue Shi Xinhui in time, he would anger Yang Yinghua. At that time, Shi Xinhui's situation will not be even more dangerous. He also thought that Yang Yinghua was not a wicked person, he inadvertently ate her grass elixir, which was regarded as owing her a favor, and she released herself, which was completely a trust in herself. All of this, in a reasonable way, cannot be broken in her faith. As long as I honestly help her find a lover, I believe she will not hurt her senior sister. After considering these aspects, Chu Yu made up his mind. Honestly went to Gushu Mountain to find an old lover for Yang Sakura.
Just when Chu Yu was thinking, suddenly, there was a noisy sound from the front, the two looked up, and found that a group of carriages were stopped in front, and there was a big flag hanging in front of the carriage, and the big flag was written with the four big characters of "Yunhe Villa". At this time, the entire carriage procession was surrounded by a group of people, as if someone was arguing.
When Chu Yu saw the four big characters of "Yunhe Villa", he immediately felt very cordial, because he knew that they were his own family and the brothers he had never met. When Chu Yu was at the Friends Inn, he had already heard that Shi Wanshan's family had a big business, and knew that in addition to the inn business, Shi Wanshan's business was more of a nationwide trade of goods. The horses he saw in front of him were people who had been trading all year round.
Chu Yu sighed in his heart: "Lord Shi Zhuang is really a big family! I didn't expect to meet my own family ...... such a far away."
Zhong Peony said: "Young Master Chu, what are you doing in a daze." There are so many people around there, there must be something lively, let's hurry over and take a look?"
As soon as Zhong Mudan's words fell, he immediately hurried forward, and Chu Yu immediately reacted and quickly followed. When the two reached the crowd, they found a coffin lying in front of the wagon procession, and a dead man lying in the coffin. Dozens of men surrounded the motorcade and prevented it from leaving. At this time, the two sides are arguing.
The mountain people said: "Killing people pays for their lives, it is righteous! The well salt you sell is poisonous, he ate your poisonous salt and died, you want to leave, there is no way! We will not quarrel with you, you are limited to make a decision within a quarter of an hour, otherwise we will do it, and we will be unkind to you!"
The humanity of Yunhe Villa: "How can salt be poisonous, you obviously want to engage in blackmail." Don't think that because there are so many of you, we are afraid of you, what do you want?"
The mountain people said: "Everyone came to judge, after my eldest brother bought their salt and went back, he was poisoned, not only did they not admit it, but they also boasted about how powerful they were, scaring us mountain people." In the end, on the contrary, they said that we blackmailed them, which is really unreasonable!--Today, if you do not pay for my eldest brother's life, you will not want to leave, and our patience is limited. β
Another mountain folk said: "You leave everything behind, let's discuss it again, maybe we can spare you from paying for your life, otherwise in a quarter of an hour, our sword will not have eyes!"
......
Chu Yu and Zhong Peony stopped to listen to the noise between the two sides, and after asking some people who watched the excitement, they knew the whole thing. It turned out that the mountain people in the coffin bought salt from Yunhe Villa, and after they went home and ate it, they died. The mountain people insisted that the salt was poisonous and was poisoned, so they gathered dozens of mountain people, surrounded the horse convoy, and demanded compensation and compensation. Although the villagers said that they would pay for their lives, the implication was that as long as all the goods were left behind, they could let everyone go and no longer pursue the matter.
Chu Yu casually glanced at the dead man in the coffin a few times, and always felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Immediately, he glanced at the whole crowd, and unexpectedly saw a strange scene - in the crowd, there was a middle-aged couple, feeding each other the apples in their hands, and almost every time they fed each other, they would kiss each other, which was really funny and awkward. Many people present also saw the unworldly behavior of these two people, and everyone turned their eyes to these two people from time to time when they were watching the excitement, but these two people didn't care about everyone's eyes, and they still acted like no one else, without scruples to make intimate gestures to each other.
Chu Yu continued to scan the crowd, and suddenly saw three more familiar faces. At this time, he suddenly remembered who the person in the coffin was, and it turned out that this person had been with the three people. These four people were the four people who sat at the next table last time when Chu Yu had dinner with Zhao and Fang at a country restaurant.
Chu Yu said in his heart: "This dead man is their senior brother, why didn't I see the three of them sad, but they were still crowded in the crowd talking and laughing, it looked lively, it was really strange." - Also, how did this man become a mountain dweller here......
Just when Chu Yu was puzzled and thinking, suddenly, bursts of laughter came from the coffin, and then the dead man came back to life. This sudden change immediately made everyone laugh, and those mountain people all looked embarrassed, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
It turned out that such a funny scene was made by Zhong Peony, and when Chu Yu was looking around, Zhong Peony squeezed to the coffin. She saw that the man in the coffin seemed to be a sign of suspended animation, so she touched the man's body with her hand, and then the "dead man" began to laugh, and laughed uncontrollably.
After the fake dead man laughed for a while, Zhong Peony removed his hand from his body, and then he stopped laughing and walked out of the coffin, his face full of anger and embarrassment. At this time, everyone understood all this and knew that these people were indeed blackmailing each other. Although Chu Yu couldn't help laughing, he was more emotional in his heart at this time.
Chu Yu said in his heart: "I really didn't expect these people to do such a dirty thing, it's so surprising!" -- I remember that when these four people were chatting at the table, what they said seemed to be heroic and righteous, righteous and awe-inspiring, and jealous and hateful. At that time, I listened to their chat, and I was moved by their integrity, but I didn't expect them to be so duplicitous and pretending to be so. ββIt seems that in the future, I should stop blindly believing those who speak bold words on the rivers and lakes, maybe they are a person who wants to be a watch and set up a memorial arch......"
After Zhong Peony relieved Chu Yu's brothers, the leader of the carriage walked in front of Zhong Peony.
The other party said: "Thank you girl for breaking the siege! Otherwise, we will not only be blackmailed, but also ruin the reputation of our Yunhe Villa, and may I ask the girl's surname?"
Zhong Peony said: "You don't have to be polite! I didn't mean to help you, but I didn't want to see someone die in vain." Just now, when you were arguing due to misunderstanding, I accidentally saw his mouth seem to move, so I went to the coffin and reached out to probe his body, I wanted to check whether he had a body temperature. I fear that he is in a coma, and if the lid of the coffin is nailed shut, he will not be suffocated alive in the coffin. Unexpectedly, I reached under his armpit and unexpectedly scratched him and woke him up. Everyone misunderstands that it is a small matter, and if one person is killed in vain, it will become a big thing. β
Before Zhong Peony said this, everyone thought that she had clicked on the person's laughing hole, and then solved the acupoint for him, so he stopped laughing. At this time, everyone finally knew the truth about his sudden laughter. After Zhong Peony said this, the mountain people immediately did not besiege the carriage anymore, but the person who pretended to be dead gave Zhong Peony a hateful look from time to time, but Zhong Peony pretended to turn a blind eye.
The leader of the carriage said: "Although the girl has no intention of helping us, we should still repay this great kindness, this is a little bit of our heart, and I hope the girl will accept it with a smile." β
As soon as the leader finished speaking, he took out some broken silver from his body and handed it to Zhong Peony, but Zhong Peony hesitated, and accepted the broken silver without refusing.
Zhong Peony said: "Thank you for the reward! - To be fair, it was they who should have been most grateful, and if I hadn't inadvertently awakened him, he would have died in vain if the coffin had been covered. A human life can't be bought with a lot of moneyβ"
As soon as Zhong Peony said this, everyone burst into laughter, knowing that she was deliberately sarcastic about those people, and those so-called mountain people were embarrassed when they heard it. Immediately, the man who pretended to be dead just now spoke.
"Thank you for the girl's life-saving grace, but we mountain people are all civilians, and we often don't have enough to eat, so how can we have money on us. If the girl doesn't dislike our poor people in the mountains, she can come to my house for two days as a guest to show her heart. β
Zhong Peony said: "This girl still has to hurry, so I won't go to your house." I think everyone's misunderstanding has been resolved, so you should just break up and don't get in the way of others. β
Zhong Peony's words fell, and after those so-called mountain people looked at each other, they left with the empty coffin, and everyone saw that the crisis had been resolved, and gradually dispersed. At this moment, Chu Yu was impressed by Zhong Peony in his heart.
Chu Yu said in her heart: "I didn't expect that she is not only as smart as a senior sister, but also as bold as a senior sister." It's a pity that she doesn't have the same good life as my senior sister......
Zhong Peony saw that the group of people had left, so he returned to Chu Yu's side. Chu Yu thought that although he was the same brother as them, everyone had never met each other, and if he rushed to say hello, he might think he would be a charlatan, so he didn't come forward to say hello. Then the two of them continued on their way.
