Suddenly, the struggling girl stopped, closed her eyes, and collapsed in Hu Ya's arms.

Only then did Hu Ya discover that there was a silver needle inserted behind the girl's neck, which was still trembling.

"This...this..." Hu Ya was shocked.

Lu Ke'er pinched the needle handle with her slender fingers and pulled the needle out.

"Brother Huya, don't worry, your sister is fine. I just gave her an injection and let her fall asleep."

"So the young lady also knows medical skills?" Huya's eyes were full of admiration. He invited, "You two, please come in and have a seat."

Lu Ke'er also wanted to ask about the girl's situation, so she readily agreed.

Hu Ya carried the girl to the bedroom, then came to the living room and invited Lu Ke'er and Ye Feng to take a seat.

Tiger Tooth Mother wiped her tears while making tea for the two of them.

"Auntie, stop busying yourself and sit down." Lu Ke'er felt a little reluctant when she saw Tiger Tooth Mother busying around.

She thought of her grandmother.

It is so busy and there is no rest for a moment.

"Brother Huya, what happened to your sister?" Lu Ke'er asked him straight to the point, "Was she like this since birth, or..."

"My Xiaorong used to be a pretty, well-behaved and capable girl." Before Huya could answer, Huya's mother couldn't help but interrupt her. Thinking of the past, tears welled up in her eyes and she cried, "My poor daughter! She was such a good child, how could she become like this? Woo, my poor daughter..."

Hu Ya sighed deeply, wiped the tears from his eyes, and choked up, "You two don't know, my family name is Zhu, my name is Zhu Hu, my sister is Zhu Rong, and our family has been carpenters for generations. My father passed on his craft to me, but unfortunately he fell ill and passed away three years ago. With this ancestral craft, our family has lived a pretty good life. Half a year ago, Zhang, the housekeeper of the Jia Mansion, came to my house and ordered a few chairs, saying that after they were made, we should send them to the mansion. A few days later, the chairs were made, but I happened to have something to do that day, so my sister Xiaorong helped me send those wooden chairs to the Jia Mansion. But I didn't expect that this trip..."

Hu Ya buried his face deeply in his palms, speaking with sorrow and regret: "If I had known, I would rather send it myself later than let Xiao Rong go."

"What happened in the Jia Mansion?" Ye Feng, who had been listening silently, asked.

Hu Ya looked sad, lost in memories, and said slowly: "It was almost evening that day, Xiao Rong ran back, her expression was flustered, her face was full of fear, and she kept shouting not to catch her, she didn't see anything. We asked her what happened? She just kept repeating these two sentences. Not long after, the housekeeper Zhang of the Jia Mansion came with people to catch my little sister. I was angry at the time and asked them why they arrested people. Housekeeper Zhang said that my little sister broke a treasure of the Jia Mansion and wanted to arrest my little sister to be punished. Of course I didn't admit it! My little sister became unconscious. What happened was all because of the nonsense that Jia Mansion said! I said he was slandering me. My family knows my little sister's character very well. She is usually timid and cautious, and she doesn't even dare to step on an ant. When she came to the Jia Mansion, she must have been cautious and careful in her words and deeds. It was impossible for her to casually break any treasure of his family. Housekeeper Zhang was relentless, and I argued with reason until I wanted to drag him to the county government to report to the officials, and then he left with a curse."

When Ye Feng heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly and he tapped the table with his fingers: "They are looking for excuses."

"What excuse?" Lu Ke'er and Hu Ya looked at him in confusion.

"The Jia family is looking for an excuse to take your sister back to the Jia family, so they said your sister broke the treasure." Ye Feng smiled coldly, "I guess your sister must have seen something she shouldn't have seen in the Jia family, and this matter is very important and secret to the Jia family. Your sister will be frightened and insane, and she must have seen some horrible and frightening scene in the Jia family. Fortunately, your sister still subconsciously fled home under extreme fear and mental breakdown, and she successfully fled home, otherwise..."

Lu Ke'er raised her eyebrows, and looked at Ye Feng with eyes full of appreciation and admiration.

The night breeze touched Lu Ke'er's gaze, and her heart warmed up. She suddenly forgot what she was going to say next, and hurriedly turned her eyes away and lowered her eyelids.

"Otherwise what?" Hu Ya asked anxiously.

Ye Feng coughed, suppressed the inexplicable joy that suddenly surged in his chest, turned his head to look at Hu Ya who was sitting next to him, and replied: "Otherwise, your sister would have been killed."

Hu Ya stood up suddenly, and his hands hanging by his sides were trembling slightly.

"Is it really...really so?"

Lu Ke'er thought of the dark evil spirits lingering around the servants of the Jia Mansion, and nodded, "The servants of the Jia Mansion who came today all have lives on their hands."

Ye Feng looked at Lu Ke'er, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

How did she know that those people had murdered people?

Seeing Hu Ya's surprised and suspicious expression, Lu Ke'er realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said, and hurriedly explained: "You know it without guessing. The Jia family has done a lot of bad things. I guess these thugs are usually accomplices of the tigers. They must have done a lot of things that are against the will of heaven and earth."

Hu Ya agreed: "The residents of the county are all afraid of the Jia family. The people of the Jia family are used to being domineering in the county, especially Jia Wangcai, the only son of Mr. Jia. He is lustful by nature. Whenever he sees a pretty woman, he will try every means to snatch her away..."

At this point, Hu Ya suddenly remembered that his sister had been to the Jia Mansion. His heart started beating fast and he cried out, "Oh no! My sister went to the Jia Mansion half a year ago. Could it be... Could it be that she ran into that lustful Jia Wangcai, so..."

When everyone heard it, they all understood.

Huya's mother slapped her legs and cried, "What a sin! My poor daughter! That damned Jia Wangcai must die a horrible death!"

Lu Ke'er shook her head and said, "Brother Huya, this shouldn't be the reason. Your sister has been shouting that she didn't see anything, so it is certain that your sister is not insane because she met Jia Wangcai and was bullied by him."

Hu Ya thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case, and he felt relieved.

"So...what did she see?"

Ye Feng said calmly: "If you want to know the reason, you can only ask your sister."

Huya was heartbroken: "In the past six months, Xiaorong has been like this almost every day. When she is quiet, she is either in a daze or asleep. We have searched for doctors in the county and almost spent all our savings, but no doctor can cure her."

At this point, he suddenly thought of Lu Ke'er and looked at her with hope in his eyes: "Girl, I see that you also know medicine. Can you...can you help my sister?"

Lu Ke'er pondered for a while, then nodded slightly: "I'll try."

Hu Ya suddenly became excited and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, girl. Thank you, girl. We...we really have no other choice!"
