The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

"Do you think I'm cruel?" Lin Xi restrained his murderous aura, returned to his usual appearance, walked up to Youfu and asked.

"No, he deserves it!"

Chen Youfu said this without any hesitation, but at this moment his face was pale and his legs were trembling. He was obviously frightened by such means and such Lin Xi!

"I, Lin Xi, have always been like this! I will cherish and protect those who treat me like my family; I will also treat those who are kind to me kindly in return; those who treat me badly and hurt those I cherish, I will kick them into the abyss and they will never be able to turn over!"

Lin Xi stared at Chen Youfu and continued, "Can you accept me like this? If you think I'm scary, then you can stay away from me and stop associating with me!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Youfu hurriedly confessed to Lin Xi: "Lin Xi, I don't think you are scary. I, I just have never seen such a scene before, and I was frightened for a moment!"

Then, he took a deep breath and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Lin Xi, I have always envied you. You are capable and kind, and you often help the villagers. I, I want to learn skills from you. Can you teach me? I also want to protect my relatives and fellow villagers! Don't let anyone bully us again!"

Hearing this, Lin Xi smiled and said, "I kill people without blinking an eye and torture people without mercy. Do you still think I am kind?"

"Lin Xi, I, Chen Youfu, don't understand any great principles. I just know that good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished with evil! They are evil people, and this is their retribution! I have never seen you hurt innocent people. On the contrary, you always help others with kindness. In my heart, you are a great kind person!" Chen Youfu said solemnly.

Lin Xi was suddenly in a good mood at this moment, and said with a smile: "Okay, in this case, let's start by learning how to deal with traces!"

After saying that, he took Chen Youfu to deal with the traces they left behind!

Wherever they went, they explained to him carefully how to reduce the traces left by their actions and how to clean up the traces that had already been left so that no one could track them!

An Er, who was hiding in the dark, was shocked by Lin Xi's ruthless methods before! Seeing her handling the traces so skillfully, he was amazed again and hurriedly held his breath and studied secretly.

After dealing with this, Lin Xi brought Chen Youfu and quietly came to the house of the long-faced yamen runner!

The location of his home was obtained from the county magistrate's son earlier. The bailiff was a bachelor, and was now drunk and sleeping soundly on the bed!

Lin Xi first took off his boots and estimated his weight.

He took his boots and left footprints of varying depths on the road from the room to the well in the yard!

Then he picked up the wine jug and threw it to the side of the well. Finally, he easily picked up the yamen runner and threw him into the well in the yard!

The yamen runner struggled a few times and then sank to the bottom of the well without any movement!

Chen Youfu watched from the side, learned silently, and took the initiative to clean up the footprints and other traces they had left!

Lin Xi checked it once, pointed out two places that were not cleaned thoroughly, and dealt with them again. Then the two of them left quietly, and An Er followed in secret.

When we returned to the backyard of Huichuntang, Yuanyuan had already woken up from a nap after taking the medicine.

Shopkeeper Zhou saw that her clothes had been torn in several places by the whip and were stained with blood, so he asked Quanfu to buy a new set.

The village chief and Yuanyuan were embarrassedly trying to refuse Manager Zhou!

Seeing this, Lin Xi stepped forward and said to Shopkeeper Zhou, "Uncle Zhou, let Yuanyuan wear this old dress. I am not being polite to you, but I have my own intentions."

Shopkeeper Zhou glanced at Yuanyuan and immediately understood what was going on. He said to Lin Xi, "It's still Lin Xi who has thought it through. It's me who didn't think it through!"

"It's not that Uncle Zhou was inconsiderate. It's just that you are kind-hearted and didn't think of it for a moment! Uncle Zhou, I'm sorry to bother you this time. If anyone outside asks, you can say that we are here to discuss the price of the second batch of Schisandra chinensis!"

Lin Xi clasped her fists towards Shopkeeper Zhou and said this, but did not explain the purpose of their trip.

Shopkeeper Zhou didn't ask any more questions.

After the three village chiefs thanked Manager Zhou, they got on the carriage and were driven out of the city by Lin Xi.

In Huichun Hall, after Lin Xi left, Quanfu leaned over to Shopkeeper Zhou and whispered, "Shopkeeper, what happened to that little girl? Who was so cruel to beat her like this?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper glared at him and said sternly, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Keep today's events to yourself. Do you hear me?"

Quanfu hurriedly agreed with a smile, and repeatedly assured him that he would keep his mouth shut and not say anything.

The two of them returned to the front hall and started working again.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Xi drove the carriage carrying three people to the entrance of Linshan Village.

From a distance, a large group of people were waiting. When the village head's wife saw Lin Xi driving the carriage back, she hurried over to him and asked cautiously in a trembling voice, "Lin Xi, is that girl Yuanyuan?"

"Mom, I'm fine, I just got beaten!" Yuanyuan heard her mother's voice and hurriedly stuck her head out to speak.

"Oh my Yuanyuan! You scared me to death! Come down quickly and let me see, damn you, they dared to kidnap people in broad daylight!"

When the village chief's wife saw her daughter coming back, she first wiped her tears with joy, and then cursed angrily!

The village chief and Chen Youfu hurriedly jumped off the carriage and carefully helped Yuanyuan down. The village chief's wife saw Yuanyuan's injuries and did not dare to hug her. She held her hand and cried distressedly, "My poor daughter! That damn beastly yamen runner!"

The villagers standing by saw Yuanyuan's pale face and came over to ask about her concern.

"Yuanyuan, how could these wicked guys beat you up like this? Does it still hurt?"

"Yuanyuan, was it the bailiff who kidnapped you? Let's go and settle the score with them! Ask them how we have offended them to beat our child like this. Is there any law?"

"Yuanyuan, have you been to the clinic and taken medicine?"

Yuanyuan's eyes were red as she looked at the aunts, uncles, grandparents who were concerned about her. She said as Lin Xi's sister taught her on the way, "Thank you for your concern, grandparents, uncles, aunts and uncles. I went to bring water to my parents and brother who were working in the fields this morning. As soon as I got to the edge of the woods, the two officials covered my mouth and knocked me unconscious. When I woke up, I found myself locked in a woodshed. An official came over and asked me to serve the county magistrate's son. I would rather die than obey, so he whipped me!"

At this point, Yuanyuan shuddered all over and continued to sob, "Just when I thought I was going to be beaten to death, there was a scream outside, and the official ran out to check. I waited for a long time, but there was no movement outside. I saw that the door of the woodshed was open, so I ran out bravely. When I ran out, I saw that the official was lying on the ground dead. I was terrified and didn't dare to take a closer look, so I ran away, and I happened to run into my brother and sister Lin Xi who were looking for me everywhere."

At this time, Chen Youfu took over the conversation and said, "We just happened to meet Yuanyuan who had escaped. Seeing that she was covered in wounds, we quickly took her to Huichun Hall to treat her wounds and drink medicine before returning. Don't worry, folks, Yuanyuan was just whipped. These are all external injuries. She will be fine after a while of recuperation."

After hearing this, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief and spoke out to comfort Yuanyuan.

"Yuanyuan, I'm glad nothing happened. Go back and have a good rest!"

"That's right, Yuanyuan, you're glad to be back. Have a good rest. I have some eggs at home. I'll bring them to you later!"

"I'll go back and kill the old hen. I'll have to take good care of it. It's a blessing that I'm back!"

The village chief bowed to the villagers and thanked them: "Thank you, fellow villagers! We appreciate your kindness, but everyone is not well off, so please save the money for your children and the elderly to replenish their health!"

After saying that, he paused and continued, "Fellow villagers, we don't know which hero killed that beast. In order not to cause trouble to our village, let's just pretend that nothing happened. When Yuanyuan ran out, she was hiding from people and no one saw her. Everyone, please remember this. We can't have anything to do with the death of that yamen runner!"

Everyone knew how serious a lawsuit involving human life was, so they all nodded in agreement and kept the matter to themselves.

The village chief and his family thanked everyone again, and then everyone went home for dinner. Before eating, they still gave Yuanyuan some eggs, killed a hen, or gave her a bag of brown sugar, etc., to express their concern.
