Yang Lizheng also got off the ox cart and wiped the sweat on his body. “Let’s go back to the village and take a look. Yang Dashan is going crazy.”
“Jiaojiao, should I send you back to your room first?”
Yue Jiaojiao shook her head and tugged at the hem of Zhao Zhan’s clothes. “I’ll go back with you to take a look. I’ve already prepared food for Chengfeng. He’ll be fine in the courtyard.”
“I’ll be here,” Li Miao said anxiously. “Don’t worry and just go back.”
Zhao Zhan and Yue Jiaojiao didn’t waste any more time. They boarded Li Zheng’s ox cart and returned to Willow Village.
“You’re finally back.” When Yang Dashan saw them coming back, he stood up from the ground and limped towards Zhao Zhan. “Wasn’t our tofu destroyed by someone last time? I’ll use the method you told me to lure that person into the trap.”
“We caught Zhao Wencai. He ran into the mountains in a panic and hasn’t come down yet.”
“How long have you been in there? ” Yue Jiaojiao asked in a low voice.
“We caught him last night. It’s been almost six hours now, but he hasn’t come down. We don’t know if anything has happened to him.”
Yang Dashan scratched his head in disappointment.
Although he was angry, it was impossible for him not to care since a life was involved. They were all from the same village, and they saw each other often. This would be enough to just teach him a lesson. No one felt that this was worth his death.
“Zhao Zhan, are you even human?” Zhao Zhan’s wife’s eyes were swollen from crying. She stumbled as she scolded and shouted, “That’s your cousin. How could you be so ruthless as to chase him into the mountains? ”
“Zhao Zhan wasn’t here last night, so you can’t say that he chased him up the mountain!” Yang Dashan clenched his fist and looked at her. “Everyone is worried about Wencai. Now that Zhao Zhan is back, everyone can go up the mountain to look for him.”
“Are you scolding Zhao Zhan now because you don’t want him to go up the mountain?!”
Wencai’s wife stood behind her mother-in-law and glared at Yue Jiaojiao. “It’s all because of this little vixen. Ever since she entered the village, nothing good has ever happened to our family! “This kind of woman should be thrown into a pig cage.”
Just as Yue Jiaojiao was about to speak, Zhao Zhan pulled her behind him.
“If you want to keep this up, then we can all just stand here. “Zhao Zhan’s face was as calm as still water. His dark eyes looked at the two of them. “Did Jiaojiao ask Zhao Wencai to splash chicken blood on the tofu? Last night was it Jiaojiao that secretly asked him there?
“Jiaojiao has been living in the town all this time. What does Zhao Wencai’s death have to do with her?” As he spoke, his piercing gaze was directed to Wencai’s wife. “Just because I call you cousin-in-law doesn’t mean you can bully my wife as you please!
“If anyone else is willing, take your tools and come up the mountain with me. I don’t need a lot of people, just two or three will do.”
Zhao Zhan said loudly. Yang Dashan was the first to stand up. He picked two more people with flexible movements and carried his bow and arrows on his back, ready to go up the mountain.
“Zhao Zhan,” Yue Jiaojiao held his hand tightly and closed her eyes to feel it carefully. “Head West into the deep mountains and be careful. I won’t follow and slow you down.”
It was fine if there wasn’t anything urgent, but at critical moments, Yue Jiaojiao wouldn’t be so blind as to follow them.
Zhao Zhan wanted to keep Yang Dashan at home to take care of him, but he was rejected by Yue Jiaojiao.
Seeing that Zhao Zhan had brought his men up the mountain, Wencai’s wife rushed up and was about to scratch Yue Jiaojiao’s face. “One look at your face and I can tell that you’re not a decent person! You harmed Wencai and you still have the face to stand here.”
