As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1183
Chapter 1183 Bully
“No, it doesn’t matter. You will remember it in the future. The most important thing now is to recover your body.”
Liu Jingjing slowly helped him down. She thought to herself that he was injured so badly. It seemed like he had lost all his memories. After a while, she asked, “Then do you remember your name? Where do you live?”
“I…” Xiao Chen’s eyes were confused. After thinking for a long time, he shook his head in the end.
Seeing that he still couldn’t remember anything, Liu Jingjing smiled softly and said, “It doesn’t matter. Let me take a look at your injuries first …”
After another three days, under Liu Jingjing’s treatment, Xiao Chen’s injuries finally recovered and he was able to walk.
The villagers of the Ancient River Village also knew that he had “come alive”, but apart from Liu Jingjing and the others, no one came here to talk to him, nor did they say that they would let him enter the village.
In the past few days, only Liu Jingjing and her daughter, the dark-skinned youth Sun Xiaohou, the red-skirted girl Cai Wei, and a robust young bull would come to this room to see him. Sometimes, they would bring some food with them.
On this day, Xiao Chen’s injuries had healed a lot. However, he still couldn’t remember anything about the past. At noon, Liu Jingjing brought food to visit him. Since the village chief didn’t say that he would be allowed into the village, Liu Jingjing couldn’t bring him into the village.
After dinner, Xiao Chen put away the food box and cupped his hands to Liu Jingjing. “Thank you for taking care of Miss Liu these days …”
Seeing that he was getting better every day, Liu Jingjing was naturally happy. She giggled and said, “Just call me Liu’er!”
“Yes, Miss Liu’er …”
“…”
The weather was fine today, and Liu Jingjing was in a good mood. She said, “I don’t know your name, and you don’t remember it yourself. It’s April Meng Xia season. Otherwise, I’ll call you Xia Tian …”
“Summer …”
Xiao Chen thought for a moment and nodded, “Alright …”
“Mm-hmm.” Liu Jingjing nodded and smiled, but she seemed to have forgotten what her father had said. He was no ordinary person.
Another three days passed. After noon, Liu Jingjing was nowhere to be seen. In the village below the mountain, a faint noise could be heard.
Xiao Chen went outside the cave and looked towards the village. He saw that there were many people gathered at the eastern entrance of the village. However, they were too far away and couldn’t be seen clearly. Something must have happened in the village.
At first, he didn’t care, but the more people gathered at the entrance of the East Village, the more shadows they gathered. It seemed that something was wrong. He decided to go down the mountain to see what had happened in the village.
After arriving at the village, only the barking of dogs could be heard. Almost everyone in the village had gathered at the entrance of the East Village.
At this moment, in the East Village, there were five strong men blocking the entrance of the village. The leader was a dark youth with a twist in his hand. That youth was Sun Xiaohou from the Ancient River Village.
“Zhao Dahu! What exactly do you want? Let him go!”
At this moment, many people in the village were berating him sternly. There were even a few people who took out their hoes and poles. However, facing the five strong men outside, they could only pretend that none of them dared to really step forward.
“This little thief stole from my family. Naturally, I will take him to the county government to see the officials.”
The sturdy man who captured Sun Xiaohou was none other than Zhao Dahu, a famous bully from the Ten Miles Eight Villages. He had learned a bit of martial arts by himself. His father was a landlord nearby, and he had some money. He also had a cousin uncle who worked in the county’s yamen. Therefore, he was used to being tyrannical. No one in the Ten Miles Eight Villages dared to offend him.
“Bullshit! I didn’t steal anything from you!” Sun Xiaohou continued to struggle, but how could his small body break away from Zhao Dahu’s hand, which was thicker than his leg?
“You still want to quibble when you get both spoils!”
Zhao Dahu immediately took out a jade pendant from his body. Sun Xiaohou struggled even harder, “It was you who falsely accused me and forcefully stuffed this damn thing onto me!”
“Humph!” Zhao Dahu sneered, “Seeing the official, I’ll beat you 30 times first. You’ll know how formidable you are. Let’s see if you admit it or not.”
Hearing this, many people in the village were shocked. Zhao Dahu’s words were not a scare. He could really do such a thing. His cousin’s uncle was on duty in the county government. Even if it was white, he could say it was black …
“Zhao Dahu! Enough! Little Monkey won’t steal from your house. Let him go!”
At this moment, a woman’s soft shout came from the village. Liu Jingjing walked out, and as soon as she came out, the people around the village entrance immediately quieted down.
“Sister Liu’er, you’ve finally come out.”
Zhao Dahu smiled evilly. The four men beside him stared at Liu Jingjing motionlessly, as if drool was about to flow out of their mouths.
“What are you looking at!”
Zhao Dahu scolded the four of them. Then he turned around and stared at Liu Jingjing. He smiled and said, “This Sun Xiaohou stole my things. Sister Liu’er, what do you think we should do?”
“I didn’t steal anything! Big Sister Liu’er! They falsely accused me!”
“Little thief, shut up!”
Zhao Dahu slapped Sun Xiaohou in the face. Everyone in the village was shocked. They pointed at him and said, “Zhao Dahu! You … Why did you hit him?”
Zhao Dahu sneered, “This little thief stole from my family. So what if I broke his leg?”
“I didn’t steal anything! Let me go, ah!”
Sun Xiaohou continued to struggle. Liu Jingjing frowned and looked coldly at Zhao Dahu, “Zhao Dahu, what exactly do you want?”
“What do you want?”
Zhao Dahu sneered and looked at her, as if drooling. “If little sister Liu’er is willing to marry me, then big brother will pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, take him to the county magistrate right now …”
Hearing this, the villagers were all shocked. Sure enough, Zhao Dahu was still unwilling to die. He was still thinking about the Liu family’s daughter. This time, it would be good to frame him. If they went to ask the official, who could tell who was black and white? It was likely that the little monkey would have to eat a board. He would have to eat a few more years in prison.
“You … are extremely shameless!”
Liu Jingjing gritted her teeth in hatred, but at this moment, there was nothing she could do. Zhao Dahu sneered and said, “Sister Liu’er, what do you think? If you agree to this marriage, I will go back and propose to Uncle Liu with the betrothal gift. I, Zhao Dahu, must have married you in a glorious way …”
“You … you can forget it!”
Liu Jingjing was so angry that her face turned red and white. Even her body trembled slightly. Zhao Dahu sneered, “Then don’t blame big brother for being heartless.”
At this moment, a man’s voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd, “Miss Liu’er, what happened?”
This voice was like an ancient spring in the mountains. It was clear and refined. It sounded like a breeze passing through one’s ears. It was very refreshing. When they heard this voice, everyone was stunned. They all turned around and saw a white-haired man from Qingyi who had arrived here at some unknown time.
Everyone could naturally recognize that this was the white-haired young man that Liu Jingjing had saved by the river that day. Why did he come to the village?
When Liu Jingjing saw Xiao Chen suddenly arrive, she was also stunned, “Why are you here …”
Xiao Chen walked forward and said, “I heard dogs barking in the village just now. I thought there were thieves entering the village, so I came to see what happened here.”
“Brat! Who do you think is a thief? The thief is here!” A man standing beside Zhao Dahu shouted angrily.
Xiao Chen looked at him and nodded, “That’s right, that’s where the thief is.”
“You!”
The man was speechless for a moment. Zhao Dahu raised his hand and stopped him from continuing. His gaze coldly stared at Xiao Chen. He thought to himself that this person was the person that Liu Jingjing had saved the other day. This Ru Xiu’s appearance looked like a weak little boy. Did little sister Liu’er fall in love with this white-haired brat?
Thinking of this, Zhao Dahu shouted at Xiao Chen, “What kind of onion are you, grey-haired? If you don’t get out of front of me, I’ll let someone cripple your four legs today!”
Facing the fierce Zhao Dahu, the villagers had always dared to be angry but not speak. Xiao Chen looked at him and said, “You framed others first, but now you have turned black and white. If you want to take someone to ask an official, there is still law in this world.”
“Wang Fa? Hahaha!”
Zhao Dahu raised his head and smiled. He pointed at him and said, “Ten miles eight villages, you don’t have to inquire about it. Little master, I am here. I am the king! If you are unconvinced, come up and give it a try!”
With a loud shout, many people immediately retreated in fright. With this master’s ability, killing an ox with a single punch was no joke.
“Zhao Dahu! You’re just a turtle bastard! Don’t you just rely on your own family’s land to get to the county? You’re nothing! Return the law to me! Bah!”
Sun Xiaohou was twisted in midair and kicked Zhao Dahu’s face. Zhao Dahu tilted his head and said angrily, “Brat, you’re courting death!” After saying that, he slapped his palm on his forehead.
“Little monkey!”
Liu Jingjing and the villagers were shocked. Zhao Dahu could smash a rock with one palm, but could Sun Xiaohou’s head be as hard as a rock?
Just as everyone was shocked, a strong wind swept past them. Xiao Chen instantly rushed forward and pointed at Zhao Dahu’s right shoulder with his two fingers.
“Bang!” Zhao Dahu’s body instantly went numb. His hand also lost its strength and let go of Sun Xiaohou. He staggered backwards continuously.
Xiao Chen caught Sun Xiaohou, who had fallen from midair, and asked with a frown, “How is it? Are you alright?”
“No, nothing … Brother Xia Tian, be careful!”
Sun Xiaohou cried out in alarm. Zhao Dahu’s four subordinates pounced towards Xiao Chen like hungry tigers pouncing on food. Zhao Dahu was even more shocked and furious. His eyes revealed a fierce light as he fiercely said, “Beat him to death!”
“Go to the back.”
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and sent Sun Xiaohou back. Then, he stepped forward and struck a burly man with his palm like lightning, sending him flying.
