Chapter 183: Is the male lead a bit of a saint?
When Gu Ming came out of the house carrying a sickle, he saw Yang Fenglan and Xu Yingying standing in the yard.
Yang Fenglan also carried a large wooden stick.
Everyone in Qingshui Village knew that these two men had fled south to escape famine more than a month ago, and today they suddenly appeared at his house carrying sticks...
"Yu'er, don't come out!" Gu Ming shouted instinctively.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yu peeked out from behind him.
His expression became complicated when he saw Yang Fenglan.
"Stop standing there, catch the thief!" Yang Fenglan rolled her eyes.
What she hates most is people showing affection for each other regardless of the occasion.
I wanted to poke them a few times with the stick in my hand.
The two people inside then noticed that there were two other people lying at Yang Fenglan's feet.
Gu Ming stepped forward with the oil lamp and was startled when he saw the man Yang Fenglan had knocked unconscious. "Second Uncle?"
Yang Fenglan: "Another accomplice escaped and was not caught. They planned to break into your house and rob you. They even said, 'Why are we all starving while your family can eat meat?'"
Gu Ming frowned deeply. "He's my cousin, how could he... Is there some misunderstanding?"
Xu Yingying clicked her tongue twice and leaned closer to Yang Fenglan, "The book describes the male protagonist as cold and ruthless, but he seems a bit like a saint to me?"
"He hasn't turned evil yet, has he?"
Yang Fenglan looked at Gu Ming solemnly, "There's no misunderstanding. We both heard it with our own ears. The knife is right here. You didn't think I brought a knife to visit you late at night, did you?"
"If it weren't for my kung fu skills, your family would be finished tonight." Xu Yingying crossed her arms and stepped on the unconscious man. "They also said that you have meat to eat during the famine, which must be because you, Gu Ming, sold your wife."
"Nonsense!" Gu Ming's face darkened.
They immediately found a rope and tied the two people up.
Shen Yu stood by the door, glancing at Yang Fenglan and Xu Yingying several times. "You two, didn't you go south to escape the famine?"
Yang Fenglan paused for a moment, then said without changing her expression, "I forgot something important and came back, and this just happened to happen. Anyway, I'm right here, so you can handle it yourselves."
"Since we helped you out, can you two just pretend you've never seen us before?"
"Mm." Shen Yu nodded.
These two were driven out of Qingshui Village because of their reputation as "jinxes." If people knew they had returned, they would definitely start spreading rumors again.
"Farewell, until we meet again." Yang Fenglan clasped her hands in a fist salute, exuding a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) air.
Hearing the commotion, several households around the Gu family lit their oil lamps.
Yang Fenglan and Xu Yingying didn't want to show themselves, so they left in a hurry.
"Wait a minute." Shen Yu suddenly chased after her.
Yang Fenglan turned around.
Shen Yu had a lot to say, but all that came out was a simple, “Be careful.”
"Ok!"
The two disappeared into the dry night in the blink of an eye.
The Gu family quickly gathered people, mostly members of the Gu clan—after the incident with the third Gu family, Qingshui Village was plunged into panic.
With the village chief absent, the people are not united, and each family sticks together for their own survival, unable to care about the fate of others.
Therefore, when something happens to the Gu family, it's always members of the Gu family who come to help.
Shen Yu splashed two ladles of cold water on the faces of the two unconscious thieves, and they finally woke up.
The middle-aged man immediately cried out that he was innocent.
Unfortunately, he also had a timid companion.
Under Gu Ming's coercion and enticement, the timid boy easily confessed to what happened that night and revealed his accomplices.
The person who escaped home first was also caught and brought back.
The three were beaten half to death and expelled from Qingshui Village.
