Chapter 100

Everyone was gazing at Xu Cheng, who himself couldn’t speak for himself because he had forgot that there were four dogs in Xu Ran’s house. Now he had been caught on spot before he could put Zhang Yue down, and got his pant leg bitten by the dog when he wanted to flee. Besides, he knew it was meaningless to run any more since so many people had seen him.

Xu Cheng was exhausted after carrying Zhang Yue on his shoulder for such a long time, but he didn’t dare to put Zhang Yue down, so he could just anxiously watch more and more people surrounded him.

Thinking of the plots on TV, Xu Ran seemed to find something. He said to Liu Tong standing beside him, “Tongtong, go ask the villagers to come, the more the better. Otherwise it will be difficult to justify ourselves if Xu Cheng says we are framing him. After all, the staff of the construction team work for our family and someone will definitely think that they are on our side.”

Liu Tong nodded and ran away, taking two kids with him.

Plum bit on Xu Cheng’s pant leg while Peach barked at him. Xu Ran patted them two and commanded all the dogs to go to Xu Cheng. Surrounded by four dogs, he did not worry that Xu Cheng would run away.

Some people on the team started asking what was on Xu Cheng’s shoulder, how he came in and why he often went to another family’s pigpen?

Xu Cheng was speechless and anxious.

But before he could think a way out, Liu Tong had already returned, followed by a lot of people who lived close to them.

Now Xu Ran could do something with other people as witnesses. He asked them to grab Xu Cheng and take the sack on his shoulder.

Xu Cheng struggled to resist, so naturally he couldn’t spare any time holding the sack which was soon snatched away, and Xu Cheng himself was also caught by the crowd.

“There’s a person inside. Come on, he is still alive.” The one who had taken the sack suddenly shouted.

Xu Ran had guessed it correctly, but he didn’t know who was inside.

The sack was quickly opened, and the villagers recognized that it was Zhang Yue. Zhang Yue was injured all over with a bloody nose and a swollen face, and even after such a suffering, he didn’t react at all. The man who stood next to him stretched out his hand beneath his nose and relieved when he felt the breath, “He is still alive. Go get the doctor!”

There was only one doctor, Doctor Liu, in the village, so some of the villagers rushed to find him.

Zhang Yue looked like he was in shock. Xu Ran stepped forward and shouted, “Pinch the acupoint of philtrum and press on his chest!”

People knew about pinching the acupoint of philtrum, but they were not sure if pressing on chest would help, but they couldn’t care too much at that moment. Because Zhang Yue was a Ge’er, several Ge’ers who were familiar with Zhang Yue came forward and did as Xu Ran instructed.

Tangtang and Guoguo brought the village head, who was out of his breath because of running and followed by many people.

Seeing Zhang Yue lying on the ground and Xu Cheng who was caught, the village head walked to Xu Ran in the crowd and asked him, “What happened? Who is lying on the ground? Why do you take Xu Cheng?”

Xu Ran greeted the village head and said, “The one lying on the ground is Zhang Yue, who was carried by Xu Cheng in a sack and taken to my pigpen. We don’t know why. It was our dogs who found him, so we came out. You can take a look at Zhang Yue’s injuries.”

Where the village head stood was a little far away from Zhang Yue and was also blocked by someone, so he couldn’t see him clearly. After hearing Xu Ran’s words, the village head went closer to see Zhang Yue, whose face was so badly injured that those less familiar people wouldn’t recognize him. Besides, he was too skinny to keep a normal figure.

At the same time, the village head heard a few Ge’ers around Zhang Yue said, “I haven’t seen him for a long time. How come he looks like this? I wonder who did it.”

“Who else could it be but the bastard Xu Cheng?” another one echoed, “I’ve heard Zhang Yue screaming for many times when passing by his house. I wanted to have a check but Xu Cheng didn’t allow me.”

One of the Ge’ers raised Zhang Yue’s hand and said. “Really? Then the injuries on his body must be caused by Xu Cheng. Look at his hand, this bruise should have been there for a long time! ”

The rest of the Ge’ers nodded and echoed. Then, someone asked the village head to punish Xu Cheng.

The village head listened for a while and one thing came back to his mind that Zhang Yue had talked about having a peaceful divorce with Xu Cheng, which gave him a feeling that it was indeed Xu Cheng who beat Zhang Yue.

The village head turned to Xu Cheng, who was also surrounded by people, but none of them beat him. Even that they just stood beside him frightened Xu Cheng so much that he didn’t dare to speak.

The village head walked over and asked Xu Cheng, “Xu Cheng, why did you put Zhang Yue in the sack and take him to Xu Ran’s house? What do you want?”

“I, I didn’t, I didn’t, village head. Zhang Yue has been gone for a few days. I came out to search for him. Yes, I just came to find him.” Xu Cheng thought of an excuse for himself in a hurry, and repeated this sentence to increase his credibility, which, on the contrary, increased his suspicion.

Everyone in the village knew what the Xu Cheng’s family was like. If Zhang Yue had really been gone for a few days, his daddy would have been cursing him for days; however, they hadn’t heard anything recently.

So no one bought Xu Cheng’s story.

However, Xu Cheng started to go into details. “I went to the mountain and found nothing, and when I came back, I saw a sack on the ground. It looked like someone was in the sack, so I sneaked in. I would’ve carried the sack out and then went for Xu Ran, but before that, his dogs caught me. Village head, please believe me. what I said was the truth.”

Xu Cheng made a pitiful face in the hope to gain the village head’s sympathy and make him believe. However, the village head also had his thought, and what Xu Cheng acted only bothered him even more.

They all knew that only proofs told the truth. Xu Cheng carried Zhang Yue out, but no one could find the proof that Zhang Yue was carried out from Xu Ran’s house. Who would believe it? Besides, what about Zhang Yue’s injuries?

The village head didn’t respond to Xu Cheng’s words but asked, “Xu Cheng, what do you say about Zhang Yue’s injuries?”

“O… Of course, obviously Xu Ran made the injuries!” Xu Cheng stuttered.

“This injuries were there for days. Didn’t you say that Zhang Yue has just been missing for a few days? How did he get the old injuries? Could it be that Xu Ran went to your house and beat him?” the village head asked sharply.

Before Xu Cheng could answer, someone from the crowd had shouted, “Doctor Liu is here. Come on and make a way!”

The man guarded Doctor Liu and walked through the crowd to Zhang Yue. Zhang Yue was not woken up after they pinched his acupoint of philtrum. They didn’t know if he was really shocked or asleep, it had been a while.

Doctor Liu crouched down. He first checked Zhang Yue’s breath, then pinched his mouth and felt his pulse. Finally, he said that Zhang Yue was asleep. However, his injuries were too serious and had even hurt the inner organs. Without proper treatments, he would definitely die.

Injuries that hurt inner organs were extremely serious in the era where the medical skills were not developed. If one could not afford to get good doctors and expensive medicine, he would be just like a dying person.

And how would the Xu Family be willing to spend such a large sum of money to treat Zhang Yue? Don’t even think about it.

One could know just from the fact that Xu Houcai and Elder Daddy Xu didn’t appear even at that moment.

In usual days, they would had come and made a scene, and everyone in the village would know about it.

Xu Ran frowned as he looked at Xu Cheng who kept denying, at Zhang Yue who was lying on the ground, and then at the people around him who were just watching the fun.

He was a little annoyed. On one hand, he really hated this Xu Family, especially when he was bullied by them not long after he transmigrated to this body, but on the other hand, when looking at Zhang Yue who was lying on the ground, he somehow felt sorry for him. After all, he was the Ge’er who was once engaged to the original owner of this body, even if they didn’t make it in the end.

Xu Ran didn’t know if the original owner had feelings for Zhang Yue. He didn’t feel it, but he still wanted to help Zhang Yue. After all, this person had something to do with him.

He looked at Liu Tong beside him and wanted to ask for his opinion, but Liu Tong spoke first. He said, “Ran, why don’t you take Zhang Yue into the house and go find a doctor from the town! Or send Zhang Yue to the town, otherwise he will die.”

Neither of them thought about how to deal with Xu Cheng, but they wanted to save Zhang Yue first. Xu Ran nodded and turned to talk to the village head, “Village head, let’s send Zhang Yue to the town first! As for Xu Cheng, you can hold him. When Zhang Yue wakes up, let him testify.”

“No, he is my spouse. You can’t touch him!” Before the village head could say anything, Xu Cheng had interrupted.

Then someone immediately slapped Xu Cheng’s head and cursed him.

Xu Ran didn’t want to talk to Xu Cheng. The Ge’ers of this world were just like women in modern times. In Xu Ran’s eyes, the men who beat women couldn’t be forgiven. Xu Ran disdained to look at Xu Cheng now. He stared at the village head and waited for the village head’s reply.

The village head looked at Xu Cheng, then at Zhang Yue who was lying on the ground, and said, “Xu Ran, go! No matter what, it is always the priority to save people. Leave Xu Cheng to me, and I will have someone take him to the Xu Family’s ancestral hall.

“Okay,” Xu Ran nodded and didn’t say anything else. He headed towards the pigpen for Big Black.
