Chapter 587 Someone Died
With this, she became even more worried about Chu Heng. She even resorted to the most superstitious method, burning incense and praying to Buddha every day.
"Madam, the incense we bought at home is running out. This servant will go to the street at the village's edge to see if there's any for sale." Hu Shi, after praying to the Buddha image and sutra at home with Ye Muyu, spoke up.
Ye Muyu nodded and took out some silver from her waist, handing it to her. "Bring some bitter melon tea for Xiao Jin as well. It's hot today and I'm afraid he might get heatstroke."
"Alright, Madam, I'll go now." Hu Shi changed into a different outfit and then took the basket with the bitter melon tea bags filled with water before leaving the courtyard.
Zhang Shu sat under the donkey shed, weaving bamboo baskets. Only after she left did he quickly walk to the door and open it halfway. Sitting and weaving bamboo baskets, he could still keep an eye on the situation outside.
Han Zhuang was busy with household chores and didn't attract any attention. Even the villagers didn't know that the Chu family had an additional servant.
Over here.
When Hu Shi arrived at the grocery store at the bridgehead and inquired, she found out that there was no incense for sale.
She wasn't too disappointed since very few people in the village burned incense at home. Basically, they only visited the temple once a year and offered some incense money which was considered paying respects to the Buddha.
However, this meant they would have to wait until tomorrow for their men to go to the county and buy some back.
Thinking about this, Hu Shi didn't delay any longer and quickly left the grocery store, heading towards the schoolhouse.
Just as she reached the entrance of the schoolhouse, Hu Shi suddenly heard a scream coming from inside. She felt a sense of panic and quickly stepped inside.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Ah, Tang Bao is dead!" the children screamed.
Hu Shi's face instantly changed color, and she grabbed a child and asked, "Xiao Jin, I mean, where is Chu Jin?"
"He's inside the house, wuwuwu..."
Hu Shi was trembling with fear. She saw everyone rushing out of the dining hall, and the child just now said that their young master was inside.
As soon as Hu Shi rushed in, she saw Chu Jin being pulled behind Master Lin, trembling with fear and pale-faced, obviously frightened. Next to him, her son Zhang Cong was even paler, his eyes blank, looking terrified.
In the middle of the dining hall, a chubby child lay in a pool of blood, his face full of fear, eyes wide open in death.
There were two people fighting nearby.
Both of them were dressed plainly and looked very ordinary, leaving no strong impression.
Among them, a younger man held a blood-stained knife in his hand, clearly the murderer.
Hu Shi was frightened and her legs went weak, but she still went forward to grab Chu Jin and protect him, while calling out to her son Zhang Cong.
Master Lin suddenly reached out and grabbed Chu Jin, turning his head with a fierce expression, staring at her with a vigilant look. He relaxed only after seeing that it was Hu Shi.
"Master Lin, what's...?" Hu Shi was startled by his reaction.
Master Lin explained, "I thought another bad person had come."
"First, take Chu Jin back and also help me report to the authorities. Say that there's a bad person who entered the schoolhouse and killed someone." Master Lin's face was full of exhaustion and he looked at the two people fighting in the middle with a worried expression.
Seeing that the young man was becoming desperate, Master Lin didn't wait for Hu Shi's reply. He quickly pushed her, Chu Jin, and Zhang Cong out. "Go quickly."
