Chapter 150 Someone is dead!
Village Chief Li hurriedly said, "She's at my house. I asked her aunt to make some pancakes. She should be back soon."
"Thank you, Uncle Village Chief. I really don't know how to thank you..."
Li Yu's voice was a little choked. In fact, he could hear it the whole time, but he just couldn't wake up and was in a daze.
"These are just small things. We are from the same village, so it's only natural for us to help each other. Besides, we have watched you grow up."
Village chief Li patted Li Yu's shoulder and comforted him.
As they were talking, the village chief's wife and Li Xia, with red eyes, walked in with a plate of steaming pancakes.
"Oh! Xiaoyu is awake. Xiaoxia was so worried. Come and try the pancakes made by auntie. They are made with steamed eggs and shrimp paste!" Auntie Zhao greeted Li Yu warmly.
Li Yu took the pancake gratefully, took a bite, and suddenly a warm feeling surged in his heart.
"Thank you, Auntie. This pancake is still so delicious." Li Yu said sincerely.
"If it tastes good, eat more. You are such a lucky child. You must take good care of yourself in the future." Aunt Zhao looked at Li Yu lovingly.
Li Yu nodded vigorously and secretly vowed in his heart that he must work hard and live up to everyone's expectations.
"By the way, is the girl okay?"
Li Xia glared and snorted coldly:
"You're still thinking about that girl! When we went there, there wasn't even a shadow of a person, let alone a girl!"
There is something else she didn't say: You might have seen it wrong and saved a ghost!
She was afraid that if she told him, it would scare his brother again!
Li Yu said excitedly: "No! It's just a girl! And she's very beautiful!"
After saying this, his face turned red and he quickly lowered his head.
Yu Yaozu noticed something and asked, "Do you like that girl?"
"No, no, no! I just... I just feel that I should be responsible..."
The last sentence was so low that even Yu Yaozu, who was standing next to him, couldn't hear it clearly:
"What?"
Li Yu raised her head and looked at Yu Yaozu seriously. "I just think that as a girl, she must be terrified when encountering something like this. Besides, it was me who caused her to fall into the river. I should find her and be responsible for her."
"Wait a minute! How come you are the one who caused her to fall into the water again?" Yu Baibai really couldn't hold it in anymore.
Yu Yaozu patted Li Yu on the shoulder:
"No matter whose fault it is, if you want to find her, then go find her. But our village is so small, if the girl is still in the village, someone would have found her long ago. I think she has probably left."
Li Yu's eyes were determined: "I will find her."
Qiao Mu: "What if the girl doesn't want you to be responsible?"
Wouldn't this be a disaster for the girl's reputation?
Li Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "Then I must at least confirm whether she is safe."
In fact, he was afraid that the girl would turn around and jump in again.
Yu Yaozu: "Then tell me what characteristics that girl has, so I can ask the brothers to help find her. There is strength in numbers, right?"
They all have miserable lives, so every effort to help is appreciated.
"Thank you!"
Li Yu recalled carefully and said:
"The girl was wearing a light pink dress and her hair was very long, which seemed to be tied up with a peach wood hairpin.
That’s right! Her eyes seem to be blue.”
Yu Yaozu nodded, memorized these characteristics, and then said to Li Yu:
"Okay, I'll give the order right away and have everyone keep an eye on it. Don't worry too much, the girl might be fine and just afraid to leave."
Li Yu looked at Yu Yaozu gratefully, and felt a little more at ease.
Yu Yaozu and others comforted Li Yu and then left.
After meeting Qiao Sen, he explained the girl's characteristics to him and asked someone to ride to the town on horseback to inform them in advance, after all, it was a human life.
After Qiao Sen rode away, they also prepared to return to the courtyard by the sea.
Village Chief Li held a wooden box and said he would give it to Yu Bai:
"This isn't a good thing. We dried it ourselves. Miss Yu has medical skills, so she should be able to use it. It's useless in our hands."
Yu Baibai was forced to accept it, and quietly put the purse containing more than twenty taels of silver on the village chief, thinking that she bought it!
Carefully opening it, Yu Baibai was surprised: "It's Long Luozi!"
Qiao Mu stretched his neck to look over and said, "Is this a dried seahorse?"
"Hmm! It seems... the money given is too little..." Yu Baibai murmured softly.
Yu Yaozu was also very curious about what good things Village Chief Li had given him, so he asked in a loud voice:
"My daughter! What did Village Chief Li give you?"
"It's a dried seahorse, Dad. Next time you go to the village, give me fifty more taels and bring some food. I'll get it for you later."
"Okay, it seems that the village chief has given some good things. Dad knows what's going on, so you don't have to worry about it, my daughter."
Yu Baibai covered the box and put it in the compartment of the carriage.
Then he closed his eyes and pretended to doze off. Riding in a carriage was really tiring. Even though their carriage was equipped with shock absorbers, it was still unbearable.
The group slowly walked towards the courtyard by the sea.
Yu Baibai was secretly happy in his heart. This dragon fruit was a rare and good medicinal herb. Even if he took it to the town, he would definitely be able to sell it for a good price.
Keep it! You can use it later when you need to get your medicine.
Just arrived at the beach yard.
Suddenly, there was a noise from ahead.
"What's going on?" Yu Yaozu pulled the reins and looked around.
I saw the men who stayed here to fish in the sea gathered together, talking about something.
Yu Yaozu jumped off his horse and walked towards the crowd.
Qiao Mu and Yu Baibai followed closely behind.
"What happened?" Yu Yaozu asked.
The leader was Yu Youjin, the second son of Yu the butcher. He took two steps forward, pointed at a corpse on the ground, and said palely:
"Someone's dead! It's Liu Ermaizi!"
Yu Yaozu's heart tightened and he hurried forward to check.
Two deep tooth marks were found on Liu Ermaizi's neck, obviously he was bitten by a snake.
"Did anyone see what he was doing before this?"
Everyone shook their heads, saying that they had no idea what Liu Ermaizi had been doing before.
Yu Baibai squatted down and carefully examined Liu Ermazi's wound.
She frowned and said in a deep voice:
"These tooth marks look like they were caused by a venomous snake, and the venom is very strong. It's best to find it, otherwise if someone else gets bitten by accident, it will be bad. This is a hidden danger."
Qiao Mu, who was standing by, interrupted and said, "Did he accidentally step on a poisonous snake?"
Yu Youjin shook his head: "Impossible. We have been fishing together and haven't seen any snakes."
Yu Yaozu glanced at everyone sharply and asked, "Does anyone among you know the truth?"
Everyone looked at each other, and no one answered.
They are also afraid that if one of them is not paying attention and gets bitten, they will have no place to cry...
At this time, a young man named Tiezhu hesitated for a moment and said:
"I...I think I saw Liu Ermazi heading towards the reef alone..."
Yu Yaozu's expression was stern:
"Over there on the reef? Let's go over there and take a look."
