NOVEL NEXT Chapter 182 Pushed down the mountain
Liuxiang Snacks came to cause trouble because of Lin Wencai, and the bowls and chopsticks in the shop were thrown everywhere.
Mao Xi led everyone to tidy up the shop before reopening it.
After all the trouble this day, Mao Xi finally got to see how the bullies in this place behave.
After Zhemei saw off Wan Niang and Yu Xiaochuan, she returned to Liuxiang Snacks to help.
"Miss Mao Xi, I heard from Mu Dan that this Lin Wencai is used to being domineering in Kaitang County. No one dares to offend him. What should we do in the future?"
"I was repaired by Brother Mu today. I think I won't dare to come here again."
Although she said this, Shu Xi still felt uneasy in her heart.
Lu Da and Lou Lan'er were seriously injured, so Shu Xi asked them to go home and rest first.
Zhemei stayed in the shop to help Shu Xi: "Ah Shu, the shop is short of manpower, so I will help you."
"There's me too!" Miss Ranchen heard someone coming to Liuxiang Snacks to cause trouble in the shop, so she rushed over.
The two of them helped handle the ingredients for the late-night skewers, and Mao Xi was responsible for the ingredients for the oven.
The business of the shop has finally resumed.
After a busy day, Mao Xi thanked her two friends and returned to the house early after the restaurant closed.
As soon as Mrs. Chen heard about it, she took Ajiao to see Lou Laner.
Lou Lan'er rubbed her shoulders, indicating that her injuries were not serious.
Mrs. Chen knew that Lou Lan'er was very fond of fighting injustices and had few opponents on weekdays, but she didn't expect that the people who came to cause trouble today were so powerful: "Lan'er, you can rest for a few more days. Don't force me. Thanks to you today, I, Ah Shu, am now the best." Not to be bullied.”
Lou Lan'er thanked him: "Thank you Aunt Chen, I'm fine. Brother Luda is also injured. Go and see him."
Mao Xi brought some stew to Mrs. Chen: "Mom, I stewed some chicken soup. You can bring it to Brother Luda."
Mrs. Chen then took Ah Jiao back to Liujia Village to visit Lu Da.
It was late at night, and Shui Xi asked Lou Lan'er to go to bed early. Before going to bed, Lou Lan'er kept saying that she would teach Shui Xi some self-defense moves in the future.
"Okay, okay, then you have to wait until your body is completely recovered before you start learning."
The lights in Xiaodouzi's house were still on, and Mao Xi urged him to rest early.
Inside the house, the little guy was practicing the martial arts moves that Lou Lan'er taught him.
"What time is it? Why don't you go to bed yet? Let's get up and practice again tomorrow morning."
"I want to learn more moves and protect everyone in the future."
This little kid is becoming more and more sensible.
There was a knock on the door outside the house, and Mao Xi opened the door. It was Mu Zhiyuan who came for a night visit.
Mao Xi invited him to the living room: "Brother Mu, I'm here late at night. What can I do?"
Mu Zhiyuan took out a jade pendant from his arms. Shui Xi took a closer look and saw that it was not what Lin Wencai was wearing.
The two characters "Cao" and "Lin" are engraved on the front and back respectively, and are made of dark green snake-pattern jade.
"Brother Mu, this is Lin Wencai's jade pendant. Did you get it during the fight today?"
"With this jade token, I will go to the Cao Gang to meet their boss someday. He has not succeeded today, and he will not give up if he thinks about it. You must be more careful when going to Kaitang County in the future."
Mao Xi heard that the Cao Gang were mostly reckless people and were entrenched in the Yanyu River area of Jingzhou.
"Brother Mu, if the Lin family brothers and sisters stop causing trouble for me and let this matter go, it would be bad if I offend the Cao Gang and cause even greater trouble."
"I have inquired about the fact that the Lin family has been doing evil in Kaitang County for many years. Lin Wencai often kidnapped civilian girls and took them into the family as concubines. First he kidnapped you, then the little Huangying from the theater troupe, and maybe someone else in the future."
Shui Xi understood that Mu Zhiyuan planned to dig up evidence of the Lin family's collusion with the Cao Gang, and use this to dismantle the power of the Lin family group. Without the family's backing, the Lin family brothers and sisters would not have the confidence to be so arrogant.
"Brother Mu, when do you plan to leave for Caobang? The shop is currently short of manpower. If you leave, there will be no one to help in the shop."
In the name of helping the cook, Mao Xi wanted Mu Zhiyuan to go out to investigate in a few days.
She thought that if Lin Wencai stopped looking for trouble, the matter would be forgotten. Anyway, he would have been taught a lesson today.
Mu Zhiyuan put away the jade pendant and realized that Shu Xi didn't seem to want him to investigate.
"That Lin Wencai came to cause trouble today, are you not going to pursue the case?"
"I still want to open a shop in Kaitang County. In a few days, the shop I took over from Miss Zhou will be reopened. You can make plans after the shop is arranged. Maybe Mr. Lin hit a wall today. You won’t stare at me anymore.”
"When will the new shop open?"
"Two days later."
"Then let's wait until your shop opens."
After seeing off Mu Zhiyuan, Mao Xi returned to the room. When he was asleep, something was thrown from the wall into the yard.
Lou Lan'er drank soothing chicken soup before going to bed and slept soundly, completely unaware of the movement in the yard. The native dog Pidan barked twice and gradually fainted.
What was thrown into the house was a piece of incense.
The night traveler was outside the house and the dog was stunned, and he skillfully used tools to unlock the door and enter the house.
A wet handkerchief was put on Mao Xi's mouth and nose, and Ye Xingren picked her up, walked out of the house, put her on the carriage, and left overnight.
Before dawn, Mao Xi woke up in Linglong Mountain and found himself tied to a pine tree.
Lin Wencai stood next to Mu Xi with a short knife in his hand and threatened: "Liu Muxi, this is the last chance I give you. If you obey me, I will let you enjoy all the glory. Why do you have to get up early every day to open a shop?" Hard work, do you want anything delicious to eat by my side?"
Mao Xi struggled: "Let me go now. You are a scoundrel. When you see women you like, you catch them in your own house. What is the difference between this and a robber?"
Lin Wencai raised the knife and approached Shu Xi: "What I can't get, no one else can get it."
Mu Xi closed her eyes, thinking that Lin Wencai was going to kill her. Unexpectedly, he cut the rope around him with a knife and pushed Mu Xi down the mountain.
"In the wilderness, how long can you survive? Hahaha..."
Lin Wencai saw Mao Xi rolling down the stone steps into a valley. There was no sound, so he and his two followers went down the mountain holding torches.
When Maoxi rolled down the valley, his ankles were entangled in tree vines, and he was lucky enough to escape the impact of the rocks in the valley.
Deep in the mountains and forests, the night was cold and dew heavy. Mao Xi was shivering in her single clothes. She gathered the dead leaves under her feet and wrapped them around her to keep warm.
He grabbed some dirt from the ground and spread it on his hands and face to cover up his human scent so as not to be smelled by wild beasts.
Mao Xi worked hard and didn't dare to sleep. Since she often went to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots and collect fungi, she was not afraid of being in the mountains.
Yin Shi. The chirping of birds in the woods became more and more noisy, and the footsteps of people rushing up the mountain to pray for blessings could be heard in the mountains.
Mao Xi heard someone passing by the valley and shouted for help.
An old woman heard the call for help and went to the mountain to find help. People from Yuqing Temple rescued Mao Xi from the valley.
Master Guzhu in the temple recognized Shu Xi and sent someone to take her down the mountain to the pharmacy.
Mrs. Chen heard that Mian Xi was thrown into the mountains and almost killed, so she went to the pharmacy to take Mian Xi back to Lihua Town.
Chen was about to report it to the official, but was stopped by Mao Xi: "Auntie, I know who did it, but now there is no evidence to report it to the official. They will only say that I made a mistake and fell down the mountain."
Mu Zhiyuan comforted Mrs. Chen at the side: "Aunt Chen, don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for Ah Shu."
"Brother Mu, where are you going?"
Mao Xi injured her ankle and couldn't get up. She grabbed Mu Zhiyuan's sleeve, fearing that he would be impulsive and take over the Lin Mansion's house.
"Ah Shu, you need to rest for a few days. Don't rush to open the new shop. I'll finish cleaning up the Lin Mansion and Caogang first."
