Chapter 52
"Mei Sanniang is really lucky, she can't even die."
Li Gu waved his hand, not to mention how angry he was, how happy he was just now, but now how speechless he was. He had sunk into the river, and was fished out. He only had to drink a few sips of water, and he was fine.
Li Gu and the others murmured a few words and were about to run away when Li Fanwei yelled and asked: "Why do you want to sink a living person into the river?"
Li Fanwei took over the school's security matters as soon as he took up the job. He and Teacher Zhang were able to talk about it along the way. This time, he mainly learned about the school's situation from Teacher Zhang.
I didn't expect to encounter such a thing on the way. It would sink a living person into the river. It's not a small thing, it's a living human life.
Fortunately, we arrived in time. Mei Sanniang only drank more water and was finally saved.
It was the first time that Mei Sanniang felt so close to death. It was almost suffocating and scary. However, after walking on the edge of death, she deeply felt that death is not terrible, but the intention to harm others is terrible.
Those people are callous and callous, and even want you to die.
She always thought that only cold-blooded animals like snakes had cold hearts, but she didn't expect that human hearts are sinister, even colder than snakes' hearts.
Mei Sanniang was helped to stand up. Her pale face looked as if she had died. At first glance, she felt like a living dead.
"Ahem."
Mei Sanniang was choked by the river water. She was still speechless, but her eyes were fixed on Li Gu and others.
That kind of gaze seemed to glare through everyone present who wanted to harm him, and no one could escape.
Mei Sanniang patted Xu Erzhu's hand, and Xu Erzhu immediately supported Mei Sanniang, "Sanniang, be careful."
"Sanniang, don't worry, I didn't tell the children about this."
Mei Sanniang nodded silently,
Xu Erzhu slowly helped Mei Sanniang into the house. Liu Ju said to Xu Erzhu, "I will take care of Sanniang from now on."
Xu Erzhu was still a little worried. Liu Ju told Xu Erzhu: "It's so embarrassing for a grown man like you to be here. Sanniang is all wet. I have to change her into a new dress. Is it possible that you still want it after you stay here?"
have a look?"
Xu Erzhu shyly turned to Liu Ju and told Liu Ju: "So that's it. I'm sorry to bother you. I'll wait outside the door first. If you need anything, call me."
"I'm right at that door. I'm not looking at anything. If there's anything, call me and I'll come in immediately."
Immediately afterwards, Xu Erzhu went out and specially closed the door.
Xu Erzhu glanced at Li Fanwei outside the door, but he didn't expect him to follow him.
"Where are Sanniang and Liu Ju? There should be no problem."
Li Fanwei nodded, "I just want to ask you something. Are you free?"
Xu Erzhu was stunned for a second and asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's too much for Mei Sanniang."
"I was in such a hurry to save people just now that I didn't have time to ask for details. Now I am free. Please cooperate and tell me the process in detail."
Xu Erzhu nodded.
On the other side of the room, Mei Sanniang shivered with cold, feeling that her body was no longer her own. She looked at Liu Ju who had been busy with empty eyes. After Liu Ju changed her clothes, she even burned some for her.
Honeycomb coal for heating.
"Sanniang, I know this matter has nothing to do with you. If you really killed Old Man Li, wouldn't I have died long ago?"
"So there must be nothing wrong with the medicine you took."
"Don't worry, I will testify for you. I'll add the medicine you still have to take and bring it with me when the time comes."
Mei Sanniang glanced at Liu Ju. Now her heart felt cold and cold. Only a little bit of human touch was baking her heart bit by bit.
She couldn't speak and could only nodded to indicate that she understood.
Liu Ju understood the idea, and then boiled some hot water for her. After busying herself, she finally got it done.
"Sanniang, drink some hot water to warm yourself up."
The moment Liu Ju handed over the water, Mei Sanniang leaned back and made a repulsive expression.
Mei Sanniang has drank enough water, and now she feels like vomiting when she sees the water.
Liu Ju could only put the hot water aside, "If you are thirsty, drink a little if you want. The main purpose of tasting is to warm your body, not to let you drink it all."
Mei Sanniang was speechless, so Liu Ju had to cover Mei Sanniang with a quilt.
"Sanniang, just wrap yourself up in quilt and take a nap first."
"If you are hungry or thirsty, just slap this board with your hands."
Mei Sanniang nodded and lay down with Liu Ju's help. She still felt that it was very cold in the bed. No matter how she curled up, she could feel the cold invading her body and drilling into her bones.
She grabbed the quilt tightly, and the scene of being thrown into the river appeared in her mind one after another, but she was powerless. She could only let others slaughter her, because in this era, the popularity of the law was low and the feudal ideology was too serious.
Thinking about these, tears could not help but flow out of the corners of her eyes. She could only hide in the bed and sob. After a long time, Mei Sanniang slowly fell asleep.
Li Fanwei almost understood the ins and outs of the matter. This was a murder case and he had to report it, so he asked Xu Erzhu to wait first.
Just then the village chief came to the door and knew that Li Fanwei was at Mei San's house, so he waited for Li Fanwei. This matter must not be reported to the higher authorities. Once the people above knew about it, the whole village would be affected.
punish.
This matter itself was decided jointly by everyone and handled privately, so they did not report it to the official. If the crime was questioned, everyone in the village would suffer.
They had no evidence to prove that Mei Sanniang had harmed Old Man Li. Once the incident became a big deal, the village chief thought that he would just let it go privately. Mei Sanniang had no background anyway, and everyone would forget about it after a while. As a result, Mei Sanniang
If death is not successful, everyone involved in this sinking of the river must be held accountable.
So while there were few people around, the village chief waited for Liu Ju and Xu Erzhu to leave, and then he quickly approached Li Fanwei.
"This is a little thought from our village."
The village chief stuffed a red envelope into Li Fanwei's hand, raised his eyebrows, and hinted at Li Fanwei with his eyes.
Li Fanwei hesitated when he looked at the red envelope in his hand. It felt tactile and he could feel that there was a lot inside.
"what do you mean?"
The village chief smiled and said: "A small care is not a sign of respect."
"Is this your own wish?"
The village chief shook his head: "I represent the wishes of our village, so please accept it."
Li Fanwei saw this and said straight to the point: "Tell me, what is going on? I don't dare to accept money from unknown sources."
The village chief was shocked and quickly explained: "How could it be possible? This is just everyone's wish."
Li Fanwei got straight to the point: "Village Chief, if you have anything to say, just say it and I'll listen."
"Okay." The village chief said bluntly: "As for Mei Sanniang, this matter does have something to do with her. How can a person who is not qualified to practice medicine prepare medicine for others? This person refuses to admit it after he has something wrong.
We have this custom here that kills people to pay for their lives, so Mei Sanniang had to die."
After hearing this, Li Fanwei asked the village chief: "Do you have any evidence?"
"The potion is evidence, not to mention that Mei Sanniang admitted it herself."
Li Fanwei shook his head. What could a bowl of potion prove? Liu Ju had told him before that Mei Sanniang was not qualified to practice medicine and could not prescribe medicine. However, Liu Ju said that this medicine would not kill people. Liu Ju also specially
I went to the clinic in town and found that there was nothing wrong with my body.
This proves that Old Man Li did not die from drinking the potion at all, but died naturally.
Mei Sanniang did not poison Old Man Li at all.
"Village Chief, I can't accept this thing."
Li Fanwei pushed the red envelope back and told the village chief: "It would be a serious crime for you to resolve Mei Sanniang's matter privately. What age is it now?"
"Your behavior is unacceptable."
Li Fanwei was about to leave, but the village chief quickly stopped him.
"Mei Sanniang really killed Old Man Li."
"Old Man Li's land deed is not at home. I asked someone to check and found that there is none, so the property of Old Man Li's family must have been taken away by Mei Sanniang."
"How about a search?" The village chief also wanted to suggest that Li Fanwei check Mei Sanniang's house carefully. If he found out, he should be able to convict Mei Sanniang.
"No, if you were Old Man Li, would you leave the land deed at home?"
The village chief knew without thinking that it couldn't be placed somewhere where others could find it. Unlike in the city, every household in the countryside had an open door, so the village chief knew that the land deed couldn't be placed in an eye-catching place.
As for Mei Sanniang, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Of course, the land deed must be kept at home."
"I can't find any food stamps at Old Man Li's house. It's not because Mei Sanniang took them, so what is that?"
The village chief was still quibbling and had no intention of admitting his mistake. Li Fanwei rejected the village chief's request.
But the village chief still refused to give up, because if Li Fanwei left, it would mean that the whole matter would become more serious.
"Can you be accommodating and not report it? We will resolve it privately."
Li Fanwei asked back: "Aren't you sure that it was Mei Sanniang who harmed Old Man Li? What were you taking pictures of? Did you wrongly accuse Mei Sanniang and sink her into the river without permission?"
The village chief immediately panicked. They had no evidence at all to prove that Mei Sanniang had harmed Old Man Li. They just relied on a bowl of potion to make an unreasonable conclusion. Of course they would suffer if someone died.
"Yes, we didn't think carefully. The main reason is that the people's voice is too loud. I can't do anything about the whole thing. Tell me, if there is no problem with Mei Sanniang, why do these people want to execute Mei Sanniang.
"
Li Fanwei finally heard what he wanted to hear and told the village chief.
"This matter does not need to be reported."
When the village chief heard this, he finally relaxed his brows, and then poured a ladle of cold water on him.
"But it must be approved by Mei Sanniang."
As soon as Li Fanwei finished speaking, the village chief gave in. Getting Mei Sanniang to agree would be even harder than climbing to heaven.
Until Li Fanwei clicks, everything depends on what Mei Sanniang wants.
