A car accident, our family of three crossed

A quarter of an hour later, Shuisheng was driving the ox cart wobbling along the path, glancing at Hang Shuheng from time to time, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

That little look was not hidden at all, Hang Shuheng found it a little funny, "Just say whatever you want to say!"

Shuisheng's little trick was discovered, he smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Uncle Hengzi, why did you give her the antidote just now? That woman is so bad, it would be better if she died."

Hang Shuheng couldn't help but patted his shoulder and said, "Shuisheng, killing is against the law. We won't do anything that violates the law."

"No, Uncle Hengzi, that's not what I meant." Shuisheng scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I just think it's too cheap for her."

Hang Shuheng shook his head and smiled without saying anything. He naturally would not tell Shuisheng that what he gave Zhang Cuiju was not an antidote. The reason why Zhang Cuiju's pain symptoms were relieved was simply because the effect of the medicine had worn off.

Before the drug's effect was about to wear off, he gave her a pill and lied that it was an antidote, but in fact it was real poison, a poison that could slowly erode the victim's mind.

Zhang Cuiju didn't doubt him and swallowed the pill without saying anything. The poison doesn't take effect immediately, and even if it does, it won't make people crazy right away. Instead, it's a slow process like an illness, and people can't tell it's caused by poisoning.

county seat.

Since moving into the courtyard arranged by Peng Desheng, Master Wan has been staying indoors. On weekdays, Butler Wan stays by his side to serve him. Butler Wan has been out on business these days, and Master Wan is always moody. Except for delivering meals to him, no one dares to get close to him.

After a lot of effort, Steward Wan finally came back, and everyone else in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as Steward Wan returned to the courtyard, he went to Master Wan's room.

When Master Wan saw him, he asked, "How is that matter going?"

Steward Wan said, "I found a man. He is a hunter with some skills. It is said that he once hunted a blind bear."

"Is that person reliable?"

"Master, don't worry. That man was a gangster when he was young. Gangsters are the most disciplined. As long as they are paid, they will definitely do their job." Butler Wan paused for a moment and continued, "That man has a sickly daughter who has been relying on medicine for a living. His family is very short of money. I have given him three days. If he comes to me after three days, it means he has taken over the business. We just need to wait for three days."

Master Wan was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then wait for him for three days."

In a village below a small town near Pingyang County, there is a family living in the mountains. They came to live in this village more than 20 years ago. No one knows their origins, but the man is a good hunter, and the villagers dare not provoke them easily.

This family has always been a solitary person, and they don't usually interact with the villagers at the foot of the mountain. This has been the case for more than 20 years. The villagers only know that the family's surname is Chai and that they have a sickly daughter.

At this time, in the small courtyard on the mountain, the hunter named Chai was wiping a long sword in the yard. Listening to the girl in the house coughing intermittently, as if she was going to cough out her lungs, a feeling of sorrow filled his heart for a long time.

After a long time, the coughing gradually stopped, and a woman with a sad face walked out of the room.

"Has my daughter gone to bed?" asked the hunter Chai.

The woman responded, and when she saw the long sword in the man's hand, her eyes moved slightly, "Dad, why are you...wiping the sword all of a sudden?"

This sword has been sealed in the dust for twenty years. No man has ever touched it in these twenty years. Now that it is suddenly taken out, it is inevitable that people will think too much.

Hunter Chai pretended to be relaxed and said, "Swords also need maintenance. If you keep it for too long, it will become scrap metal if you don't clean it."

He gently scraped the blade with his thumb and said, "Look, it's dull."

Mrs. Chai did not dwell on this too much. Her whole heart was now on her daughter, and she was worried about her illness.

She sighed and sat on a low stool nearby, saying worriedly, "The medicine I've taken recently doesn't seem to have any effect. Alas! It's all my fault that I wasn't in good health back then, which caused our daughter to suffer..."

The daughter who was born prematurely during the escape has been suffering from illness since childhood.

Hunter Chai paused for a moment while wiping his sword and continued, "Mother, don't worry. I'll go into the mountains early tomorrow morning and hunt some prey to exchange for silver. We'll take our daughter to the city to see a doctor. The doctors in the city should be better than those in the county town."

"But every time you go into the mountains, I always feel uneasy. You are the only pillar of our family. If something happens to you again, we mother and daughter won't be able to survive."

"You just think too much." Chai the hunter put away his sword, patted her shoulder and consoled her: "After so many years, don't you know my abilities? I have even fought blind bears. What do you have to worry about? Just stay at home and take good care of your daughter."

After hearing what he said, Mrs. Chai felt that she was overthinking it. Her husband was working hard to support the family, and she should not add to his psychological burden.

The next day, before daybreak, Mrs. Chai prepared some dry food for the hunter Chai and filled the water gourd with water. Every time he went into the mountains, it would take three to five days to come back, so how could he not be well prepared?

Before leaving, Mrs. Chai couldn't help but become worried again. She didn't know why, but this time when he said he wanted to go into the mountains, she felt uneasy in her heart, and that feeling was more obvious than any other time before.

"Her father, how about we not go into the mountain today? I always feel uneasy."

"Look at what you said. These things are all ready. How can I change my mind at the last minute? Don't think too much. I will take good care of myself no matter what." While carrying the equipment and dry food, Chai the hunter said, "Take good care of my daughter. Just wait for me to come back at home." He finally comforted his wife with all his persuasion.

Mrs. Chai reluctantly sent him outside the fence, and then a voice came from the yard: "Dad..."

The two were stunned when they heard that. They turned around and saw their daughter coming out of the house at some point.

"Dad, are you going into the mountains again?" A thin woman came over, looking so frail that she seemed like she would fall down if the wind blew.

"Hey Cheng Cheng, why did you come out? The morning dew on the mountain is very heavy and it's easy to catch a cold. Go back to the house quickly."

The two men hurriedly supported their daughter, one on each side, and sent her back into the house.

"Dad, are you going into the mountains again?" Miss Chai asked again.

Hunter Chai knew that she was worried about him, so he stroked her head and comforted her, "Don't worry, Chengcheng, Dad won't go into the mountains, he'll just wander around the nearby mountains."

It would take at least ten days or half a month to return from a trip into the mountains. It would take too long and he was really worried about the mother and daughter.
