Chapter 173 No Blessing to Enjoy
Liu Yi screamed and tried to grab something to stop himself, but the slope was too steep and all his efforts were in vain. Instead, he was hit by rocks while rolling and suffered injuries in many parts of his body.
After rolling for a while, he was almost at the bottom when his chest hit a big rock. He spit out a mouthful of blood with a "plop" and was able to stop. His half-open eyes became dull and increasingly lifeless.
The cold raindrops fell on his face. He looked up at the sky which had become a little brighter and less cloudy, and tried with all his strength to get up.
After trying several times, Liu Yi failed to stand up. After tossing and turning, his whole body felt as if it had been torn apart by a chariot and the pain was unbearable.
He clenched his fists unwillingly and pounded them on the ground twice.
No, he could still stand up, take the money and food and escape to a distant place to live a happy life!
Over there, after waiting for about an hour and seeing that the rain had subsided, Xia Qingyue and the others went to the woods to look for mountain products so that they could return home earlier.
"Did you hear any sound just now? I seemed to hear someone shouting." Xia Qingyue, who was picking shepherd's purse, stood up and looked around.
The two little ones, Xiaobai and Heihei, stared blankly in a certain direction.
"I think I heard it too," said Li Benfu.
"They seem to have discovered something."
As soon as Han Zhibai finished speaking, the two kids ran in that direction without saying a word.
“Heihei!”
"noob!"
Xia Qingyue and Han Zhibai shouted at the same time.
"No no no!"
"No no no!"
The two little ones whined a few times at the same time and then ran out.
"I don't know what they smelled, let's go and take a look." Han Zhibai looked at Xia Qingyue.
She nodded and had no choice but to go and take a look.
The Li family had no objection to this at all.
The two little ones ran with them for some distance, and they finally stopped behind a big rock.
Although the stone was a bit big and blocked their figures, it did not block the pair of legs behind them.
"Someone is here!" Li Weisheng raised his machete warily.
Xia Qingyue observed that there was no movement over there and felt a little strange. She was worried about the safety of Heihei and Xiaobai, so she called them twice.
The two little ones ran back obediently.
Chen Yuzhen, who had sharp eyes, saw a trace of blood on Xiaobai's hind legs and exclaimed, "Why is there blood on Xiaobai?"
Han Zhibai bent down to check, touched it with his hand, and relaxed his frown. "It's not its, it's rubbed with blood."
Three young men, Li Weikang, Li Weisheng and Chen Youmao, walked towards the big rock. They didn't know what they saw, and the expressions on their faces were as if they had seen a ghost.
"What's going on?" Li Benfu ran over to take a look. After seeing clearly, he was stunned for a moment, "This, this is not..."
This aroused Xia Qingyue and the others' curiosity, so they walked over together and saw a man lying on the ground behind the rock, looking disheveled and foaming at the mouth. He heard the noise and opened his eyes with difficulty, barely opening a crack, his lips trembling.
"This person looks familiar. I seem to have seen him before." Li Weikang said as he began to think deeply.
Except for Chen Yuzhen, all the men in the Li family said that she looked familiar.
"I remember now, isn't he the one following Lord Qian, the one called Master?" Li Benfu looked at Xia Qingyue.
After he said this, the other men remembered that they had seen this man when they went to town.
Liu Yi stretched out his hand tremblingly, opened his mouth, which was full of blood, and the raindrops flowed into it, "Money..."
"What did he say?" Li Weikang squatted down to listen.
"No matter what he says, why is he here for no reason? I feel something is wrong." Li Weisheng looked around and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Just when everyone's attention was on Liu Yi, the two little ones smelled the scent and ran away into the weeds on the slope.
It was Han Zhibai who first noticed that they were missing. He saw them sniffing around in the bushes and said, "There seems to be something in the bushes. I'll go take a look."
Xia Qingyue said: "I'll go with you."
The two ran up the hill together.
Seeing them going up the hill, Liu Yi, who still had a breath left, widened his eyes, stretched his hand a little higher, and spoke weakly from his open and closed mouth:
"Qian family...money and food, hide them quickly...Okay, I...can't enjoy them, it's all fate, fate..."
He stretched out the corners of his mouth and suddenly smiled, it was a sad smile, his eyes were full of irony and even more bitterness, the little light left in his eyes gradually dissipated.
Liu Yi's hand, which was about to fall, suddenly grabbed the hand of Li Weikang who was nearby. He raised his body slightly, and his face miraculously regained some spirit. He stared at Li Weikang, as if warning or talking to himself:
"It is easy to get something, but hard to keep it. It may bring disaster to you and others!"
As the last word fell, Liu Yi's hands fell limply to the ground.
The splashing water soaked Li Weikang's trouser legs, leaving traces silently, just like Liu Yi quietly died, but he stared with his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, the smile on his face was still there, and his expression looked weird and terrifying.
Seeing that Liu Yi was dead, the hostility in Li Weisheng's eyes lessened a little, "What did he say, all this nonsense?"
"What did he say about money and food, and what about disaster?" Li Benfu muttered.
"What does this mean?" Chen Yuzhen was confused.
Li Weikang, who was closest to the scene, heard all the words clearly. His brows were furrowed and his face looked heavy.
"Uncle, aunt, come here quickly!" Xia Qingyue's voice came.
Li Weikang ran over first and said, "Let's go and take a look."
The others followed closely behind.
In the grass on the slope, there were sacks of things scattered on the ground, and the openings of three of the sacks were opened.
The Li family members who rushed over took a look and saw white, silver and golden things inside.
"It's rice, money, gold and jewelry!" Chen Dawei exclaimed in shock.
Chen Yuzhen, Li Benfu and Li Weisheng raised their hands and rubbed their eyes, thinking they had seen it wrong.
"What's going on?" Xia Qingyue turned around and looked at Liu Yi, "That person..."
Li Weikang stared at the sacks. "He's dead. He said some strange things before he died."
He repeated the words verbatim.
After hearing this, Xia Qingyue's brain worked rapidly, "He mentioned the Qian family?"
Li Weikang hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems so."
"Are these things from Mr. Qian's home? Then why is this master here alone?" Han Zhibai pointed out the key issue directly.
Xia Qingyue also had the same question. Based on what Liu Yi said, she made a bold guess: "Could it be that the master stole the money and grain without the knowledge of the Qian family and wanted to embezzle it?"
Just as they were thinking about it, Heihei and Xiaobai ran up the slope.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Have they discovered something new? Let's go and take a look. There is so much food!" Chen Dawei suggested, with a eager look in his eyes.
In troubled times, seeing so much food is like having meat delivered to your mouth.
Li Benfu silently tied up the sack of rice.
Brother and sister Chen Dawei and Chen Yuzhen tacitly picked up the oilcloth next to them and used it to cover the sack.
If the rice is wet, it will become damp and moldy, and they feel sorry for the food.
Anyone who has grown crops knows that they are hard to come by, and this is an instinctive action.
Han Zhibai looked at Xia Qingyue with an inquiring look.
She looked back at him, "Let's go and take a look."
