Chapter 949: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 949: The Son-in-law of the Liang Family?
Shu Yu and the others entered the courtyard one after another. Master Jiang's expression turned serious, and he immediately turned towards the tenant who had heard the commotion outside and shouted, "Quickly go to the manor and fetch Hu Bo."
He then explained to Shu Yu, "Hu Bo knows medicine. Let's have him come and take a look first."
After speaking, he went forward to inspect the man lying on the ground.
To their surprise, just as they turned the man over, Da Niu exclaimed, "Li Xiaoshan?"
Shu Yu was astonished and turned her head. "You know him?"
"Of course I know him! This good-for-nothing." Da Niu snorted coldly. "He is the son-in-law of our village's Liang family. Oh, you might not know. The Liang family is known for accepting sons-in-law. But this..."
"I know." Shu Yu nodded. "Eldest uncle told me. He said this person had accumulated gambling debts and ran away with a woman."
So, this woman was the one currently being held by Ying Xi.
Da Niu nodded. "That's right, it's him. I never expected that he would come here. They caused so much trouble for Uncle Liang's family. This is their retribution."
Li Xiaoshan struggled to raise his head, noticing Da Niu in front of him. He gasped for breath with great difficulty. "Save... save me..."
Da Niu sneered, "I don't have the ability to save you. You brought so much misery to Uncle Liang's family. This is your karma."
Tears and mucus streamed down Li Xiaoshan's face, and he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.
Da Niu turned his head away, unable to bear witnessing it.
Hu Bo quickly arrived, but unfortunately, after examining Li Xiaoshan, he shook his head slightly. "It's too late."
Indeed, it was too late. Hu Bo did his best to stop the bleeding, but before he could finish, Li Xiaoshan had already passed away.
However, before Li Xiaoshan died, Shu Yu seemed to see him mouth two words.
But he couldn't produce any sound; she could only judge from his lip movements.
While she was contemplating, the young woman in the neighboring room suddenly spoke up, "Where's Old Man Cui? Wasn't he at home? Why hasn't he come out during such a big commotion?"
The other villagers were also puzzled. "Yeah, Old Man Cui hasn't left his house for the past couple of days. How could something like this happen..."
A sense of unease flashed through everyone's minds. Could something have happened to Old Man Cui?
Shu Yu suddenly had a flash of insight and exclaimed, "The cellar!"
"What cellar?" Lu Sanzhu asked in confusion.
Shu Yu looked at Li Xiaoshan and said, "Before he died, he said two words that sounded like 'cellar'."
Without hesitation, Lu Sanzhu rushed to the kitchen. "There must be something in the cellar. I'll go and take a look."
Shu Yu didn't stop him, and the other villagers followed him into the kitchen.
Shu Yu stood up and was about to follow them when she heard Lu Sanzhu's horrified scream from the kitchen.
"Ah..."
Shu Yu's expression changed slightly, and she rushed inside with Da Niu.
Several villagers were crouched at the entrance of the cellar, anxiously asking, "What happened inside? What's going on? Brother, say something!"
Afraid that something had happened to Lu Sanzhu, Shu Yu asked the people to step aside and went down into the cellar herself.
