My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

Master Li said in a sarcastic tone.

County Magistrate Yang sighed and said, "Mu Qing, do you know why I chose you to be my advisor among so many people?"

Master Li was stunned at first, as if he was recalling events from many years ago.

"At that time, you picked up a jade pendant on the street, but you didn't keep it for yourself. Instead, you waited there for several hours until an old man came to you in a hurry. You returned the jade pendant to him before you left."

County Magistrate Yang continued, "That's the quality I like about you!"

Master Li immediately lowered his head in shame. Yes, he didn't know how he had lost his original intention.

"County Magistrate, I..."

Before Master Li could finish his words, he was interrupted by County Magistrate Yang.

"Mu Qing, you don't need to say more. You and I have known each other for so many years, so I naturally understand you. People always make mistakes, and it's good to know your mistakes and correct them. Go down and take a rest. Let's hurry back to Donghai Town."

After County Magistrate Yang finished speaking, he went to the side room ahead of Master Li.

Master Li looked at the receding figure of County Magistrate Yang and swore secretly that he would assist the county magistrate well and get promoted and make money in an honest way!

Guzhuang, Gu Lili's home.

Gu Lili was cooking when Gu Erniu ran in in a panic.

"Erniu, what are you doing? Why are you so reckless!" Gu Lili rolled her eyes at Gu Erniu and said.

No one knew what happened to this kid. He was in such a hurry that he almost bumped into Gu Lili.

"Sister, second uncle...no, no, it was Gu Chuan who came to our house with a knife!" Gu Erniu said anxiously.

Gu Lili's face turned gloomy in an instant. This Gu Chuan was really shameless. He even dared to come to her house!

Gu Lili knew that Gu Chuan came to her house because of Gu Shuwen's matter.

If Gu Shuwen hadn't done such a thing, would he have been beaten by the county magistrate?

Gu Chuan came to his house with a knife, obviously blaming him for the incident.

"Erniu, don't panic. Go and take Sigou and Huanhuan away to avoid this mad dog!" Gu Lili said to Gu Erniu anxiously.

The two of them ran out in a hurry and found Si Gou and Gu Huanhuan.

Gu Lili took Gu Huanhuan's hand and ran towards the mountain.

Gu Erniu followed closely behind, holding Gu Sigou's hand.

As soon as they ran to the ridge of the field, Gu Chuan ran to his door with a knife in his hand.

Seeing the four people running towards the ridge of the field, Gu Chuan immediately chased after them.

"You four jinxes, stop right there! I'm going to kill you today!" Gu Chuan shouted angrily while chasing.

While running, Gu Lili searched for defensive weapons in the mall.

The money is not enough for the expensive ones, and the cheap ones only have knives, axes, chili water and other things, so they can only fight Gu Chuan in close combat.

At this time, Gu Chuan's eyes were already red with anger. He was also an adult, and it was obvious that Gu Lili would not be able to gain the upper hand in close combat.

If Gu Chuan hadn't been still sick, Gu Lili and her four siblings would have been caught up by him long ago.

But even so, the four of them gradually couldn't run anymore.

Especially Gu Sigou, his little face had turned extremely pale from running.

"Hurry, hurry up, let's run into the mountains!" Gu Lili shouted.

Gu Lili thought about it and felt that as long as they ran into the mountains, they would have a place to hide and would be safe for the time being.

Several people ran breathlessly, and Gu Chuan followed closely behind with a knife.

Aunt Zhang, who was working in the fields, saw Gu Chuan chasing Gu Lili and her four siblings madly, so she quickly put down her work and followed Gu Chuan.

"Gu Chuan! What are you doing! Are you crazy?" Aunt Zhang stopped him.

Gu Chuan's eyes were red, like a devil crawling out of hell. He stopped, turned around and stared at Aunt Zhang fiercely.

"You damned bitch, if you say one more word, I'll chop you off too!"

Aunt Zhang's legs instantly went limp with fear and she turned around and ran into the farm.

Gu Chuan’s eyes just now really scared me, but I didn’t dare to do anything and had to ask for help.

If Gu Lili and her brother were really caught up by Gu Chuan, they would definitely be dead.

Watching Aunt Zhang fleeing in panic, Gu Chuan snorted coldly and chased after Gu Lili and her brother.

With Aunt Zhang's interruption, Gu Lili and her brother had a chance to catch their breath.

Finally, he managed to put some distance between himself and Gu Chuan.

But even so, the four of them did not dare to let down their guard and did not dare to stop for a moment.

Just as they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, Gu Huanhuan slipped and fell to the ground.

"Ouch!" Gu Huanhuan groaned in pain.

Gu Lili quickly squatted down to look at Gu Huanhuan, only to see that Gu Huanhuan was in so much pain that tears were coming out.

"Huanhuan, did you sprain your ankle?" Gu Lili asked.

Gu Huanhuan said quickly, "Sister, you guys run quickly, that madman will catch up with us soon, you should take your second brother and the fourth dog and run!" Gu Huanhuan did not answer Gu Lili's question, but hurriedly urged Gu Lili and the others to hurry up.

Gu Erniu said, "Huanhuan, come up quickly, I'll carry you!"

As he said this, he handed Gu Sigou's hand to Gu Lili, and then squatted in front of Gu Huanhuan.

Gu Huanhuan didn't hesitate and immediately lay on Gu Erniu's back.

She knew that her brothers and sisters would not abandon her, and if she refused again, it would be a waste of time.

Gu Chuan, who was following closely behind, couldn't help but sneer when he saw this scene and quickened his pace.

Today, even if it cost him his life, he would send these four unlucky stars to meet their short-lived parents.

Yesterday evening, the village head notified Gu Chuan to go to the yamen to pick up Gu Shuwen.

No matter how Gu Chuan asked the head of the village what had happened, he refused to say.

Gu Chuan had no choice but to suppress his doubts and go to pick up Gu Shuwen.

After walking for more than an hour, Gu Chuan finally reached the yamen, where he saw Gu Shuwen who had fainted.

He was so frightened that he lost his soul in an instant, and saw that Gu Shuwen's buttocks was a bloody mess.

Because the yamen runners went to various villages to help yesterday, Gu Chuan didn't know why Gu Shuwen was beaten.

He carried Gu Shuwen on his back and walked all the way to the city's clinic to save his life.

However, because he had no money, he was pushed and chased out.

Gu Chuan had no choice but to carry Gu Shuwen all the way home.

When they got home, Gu Jingsheng and Old Mrs. Gu were almost scared to death.

Seeing the dying Gu Shuwen, Old Mrs. Gu hugged him and cried bitterly.

Gu Jingsheng hurriedly went to Yang Dadan's house to buy medicine. He shouted for half an hour before Yang Dadan got up and sold the medicine to Gu Jingsheng while cursing.

Gu Shuwen was lucky. After applying the medicine, he woke up at dawn.

As soon as he woke up, Gu Shuwen told Gu Chuan what happened yesterday.

He said that he was beaten because Gu Lili framed him.
