Chapter 332: Treacherous Old Man
The young man hurriedly put his hand under his brother's snort, and found that his brother was still breathing, which made him a little relieved.
When the old man heard the voice of the leopard and the boy, he struggled to get up despite his dizziness, and deliberately knocked out the torch, and now there was only a lantern in Liu Pan'er's hand, and the surroundings instantly turned black.
The old man took advantage of the night, bent his waist, and quietly fled along the ditch.
Liu Pan'er was on the shore, although she saw it vaguely, she also felt that the old man's appearance was very suspicious.
Liu Pan'er Leopard shouted: "Leopard, the old man just fell not lightly, you chased after him and helped him." โ
The old man in front of him, when he heard Liu Paner's voice, became even more panicked, but sped up and ran forward.
Seeing this, the leopard hurriedly stepped forward and quickly chased after it.
The leopard also noticed that the old man was walking faster and faster, and his appearance was suspicious, and he did not act according to common sense at all. I don't want the ox cart anymore, I just want to escape, obviously I am a thief.
The leopard also quickened his pace, and chased forward along the ditch, and after a while, the old man was caught up by him.
The old man actually took out a dagger and stabbed at the leopard.
The leopard came to Jixiang Village and has been practicing martial arts, plus he was on guard, and when he saw the old man rushing over unusually, he hurriedly dodged.
The old man pounced, and the leopard quickly turned around and kicked the old man hard in the back.
The old man couldn't control his body, so he plunged headlong into the water.
The leopard took the opportunity to step on the man's back and reclaim the dagger from the old man's hand.
The fight here naturally attracted the young man just now.
When the boy saw his brother unconscious, he already realized that something was wrong. The young man said to Liu Pan'er: "Madam, please help me take a look at my eldest brother, and I will help." โ
After the boy finished speaking, he didn't look back, like a lone wolf in the night, rushed over.
With the combined efforts of the leopard and the boy, he finally tied up the old man and snatched the knife from his hand.
The leopard shouted, "Who are you?" Why run away? โ
At this time, the old man hurriedly begged for mercy, "I'ยทยทยทยทยทยท I saw that the man fell into the water without squeaking, thinking that he was dead, and I was worried that I would pay for my life. Actually, I'm a cart puller, it's none of my business, please let me go. โ
Hearing this, the leopard's eyes fell on the dagger, "You are not an ordinary old farmer, ordinary people encounter such a situation, even if they run away, they will not carry a knife with them." This knife is sharp, where did you get it? Who are you? โ
The old man still wanted to quibble, and resolutely refused to admit that he had bad intentions, "What I picked up is not mine." โ
Just when the young man ran to catch the old man, Liu Paner squatted down, picked up a small notebook on the ground, and opened it to see that it was an identity document and a guide.
Now if you want to go out, you must not only bring documents to prove your identity, but also have a way to go, otherwise you may be treated as a homeless person.
Chen Qingsong should be the name of one of these two men, his father Chen Guangnan.
Liu Pan'er was stunned for a moment, approached the lantern carefully, and saw that it was indeed Chen Guangnan on it, and this Chen Qingsong was Chen Guangnan's son.
Chen Guangnan happened to be the person on the list that Li Yuanqing gave her, so it can be seen that these two young men are Chen Guangnan's juniors and went to Jixiang Town, Jixiang Village.
Since you are going to Jixiang Village, you should go in the same direction as them, going west, why do you want to go back?
In addition, this old man's behavior is very suspicious and definitely problematic.
Liu Pan'er closed the road, then squatted down, and found that the man was breathing steadily, not like poisoning, but like the sequelae of sweat medicine, and he couldn't wake up.
The leopard escorted the old man over and asked, "Madam, how should this person be dealt with if he is plotting against him?" โ
Liu Pan'er looked at the young man, "What's your name?" Who is Chen Guangnan? โ
The young man replied: "Mrs. Hui, Chen Guangnan is my father." My name is Chen Qingshan, and Chen Qingsong is my brother, a man lying on the ground and sleeping. My brother is in good health, I don't know why this is happening? โ
Liu Pan'er's eyes were sharp, looking at the old man's weak and flustered expression, and instead of asking the old man, he asked the young man, "Are you going to Jixiang Village?" โ
Chen Qingshan replied: "Mrs. Hui, our brother is indeed going to Jixiang Village. Originally, we went on foot, but halfway we met this old man driving an ox cart and said to give us a ride. We got tired and got in the car. The old man gave me water to drink, and then ยทยทยทยทยทยท I don't remember after that. Not good, there is a problem with the water we drink. Old man, what did you put in the water we drank? Why hasn't my brother woken up yet? โ
The old man still quibbled, but it was useless, and he said: "I just see that two young men are spiritual, and there are two ugly girls in the family, and they want to trick them into going home to be sons-in-law." โ
When Chen Qingshan heard this, he snorted, "If you can't find a son-in-law, you will lie?" If it weren't for your ox cart overturning, my eldest brother and I would have been robbed by you to be your son-in-law, which is really unlucky! โ
The old man had a bitter face, "Don't worry, it's not poison, it's sweat medicine." Now that you're all right, okay, just let us go. โ
Liu Pan'er said coldly: "Tie up, you two go and pull the ox cart up from the ditch, go back first, and then send this suspicious old man to the government early tomorrow morning." โ
"Yes, ma'am." The leopard should get down and tie it up again, before asking Chen Qingshan to go to the ditch together and carry the ox cart up.
After the ox cart was brought up and put back on the ox cart, Chen Qingshan remembered and asked, "Madam, dare to ask who you are?" โ
Liu Paner replied: "My husband is Li Yuanqing, and he sent people to find other brothers to come to Qingshan County. I didn't expect you and your eldest brother, two fledgling young men, to actually fall into the way. When you go out, you must be more careful, and you must never eat food given by others, and you must not drink water from strangers. โ
When Chen Qingshan heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he was afraid for a while, "It turns out that you are the general's wife!" My mother is pregnant, and my father is at home with my mother, so if he can't come, let the two of us come over. It's just that when we went out for the first time, we didn't know that people's hearts were sinister, and we almost caused a catastrophe. โ
Liu Pan'er looked at the old man with his eyes rolling wildly, and said to the leopard: "Plug this person's mouth and tie it to the ox cart." Aoyama, will you drive an ox cart? โ
Chen Qingshan replied: "Yes." โ
"Then you drive the ox cart, and take your brother and this treacherous old man, and follow us back with us." Liu Paner saw that it was getting late, and wanted to go back early.
"Yes, ma'am." If you have something to say, Chen Qingshan also knows that this is not the time to speak.
The old man struggled, "You let me go, I don't dare anymore." โ
"If you have this strength, let's talk about it tomorrow when I see the county master." After the leopard finished speaking, he immediately blocked the mouth of the treacherous old man.
