Chapter 212: Deep Hatred

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At this moment, a head poked out from behind a big tree in the near distance…

Zhou Xiping looked in the direction where Chu Xujin was dragged away. After looking for a while, his expression changed and he immediately ran back to get reinforcements.

After using the prescription that Chu Qingzhi gave him, his body had already grown from that of a five-year-old to a ten-year-old. These changes made him extremely grateful to Chu Qingzhi. Chu Xujin was Chu Qingzhi’s third brother, so he naturally had to help him out.

Chu Xujin was dragged to the depths of the bamboo forest. Those people punched and kicked him without saying anything. Soon, he was covered in injuries.

He hugged his head and curled up on the ground. Muffled sounds squeezed out from the gap of the cloth covering his mouth.

Blood slowly flowed out of the corner of his mouth, dyeing the cloth red. His voice was also getting weaker and weaker.

“We can’t hit him anymore. If we do, we’ll kill him!”

“Hit. Continue to hit him. If he dies, it’s on me.”

“We really can’t hit him anymore!”

They did not want to be a murderer. They were only asked to teach him a lesson. It was not like there was a deep hatred between them. Therefore, the people who were hitting stopped and stood to the side.

Seeing that no one was hitting, Si Songling picked up a wooden stick from the side and swung it at Chu Xujin.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The pain spread throughout his body. His entire body was tense, but Chu Xujin no longer had the strength to struggle. The cloth covering his mouth was completely dyed red. The sound in his mouth gradually weakened, and his body slowly stopped moving…

Zhou Xiping rushed over like an arrow and shouted, “Stop, stop!”

Some of the constables he brought immediately surrounded the group of people while the others went to check on Chu Xujin.

When Si Songling and the others saw the constables, they immediately broke out in cold sweat and fled in all directions in fear…

The head constable quickly went forward, pulled out the cloth from Chu Xujin’s mouth, threw it aside, untied the rope, carried him on his back, and rushed to the Chu Village.

“Arrest all of them and bring them back to the county office!”

The head constable didn’t dare to imagine how angry Chu Qingzhi would be if she saw her third brother in such a state.

The head constable’s heart trembled. He stopped letting his imagination run wild and rushed to the Chu Village at the fastest speed in his life.

In the Chu Village.

Chu Qingzhi and her family were cleaning the new house. Suddenly, a villager rushed over anxiously and said that Chu Xujin had been beaten up and was covered in blood. He asked Chu Qingzhi to go and save him.

The joy on Chu Qingzhi’s face instantly froze. With a flash, she returned to the old house.

At the smell of thick blood, she frowned.

The head constable placed Chu Xujin on the bed. The moment he put him down, Chu Qingzhi had already entered the room. Her voice was extremely cold. “Everyone, get out!”

No one dared to disobey. Everyone quickly left the room.

Chu Qingzhi went forward to check. The assailant clearly had the intention of killing him. His spleen was broken, and his other internal organs were bleeding slightly. Two of his ribs were broken. There were bruises all over his body…

Chu Qingzhi’s expression was terrifying. She placed her hand on Chu Xujin’s back and injected spiritual energy into his body to repair his broken internal organs and ribs. As long as these were repaired, his life would be saved. The external injuries looked terrifying, but they were not fatal. Given time, he would slowly recover.

After consuming half of her spiritual energy, she finally pulled Chu Xujin back from the jaws of death.

Chu Qingzhi got up and returned to her room to get the medicine to bandage Chu Xujin’s wound.

When Yuan Hongjun saw Chu Qingzhi coming out of the room, he hurriedly went forward to help. “Master, how is Third Brother? Shall we help him apply the medicine?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. She went back to her room to get the medicine and handed it to Yuan Hongjun. “He’s injured badly. Be careful.”

The two disciples nodded. “Understood, Master.”

Chu Qingzhi reminded them a few more words before walking towards the central room. The head constable and the others were waiting here. Her presence seemed to have lowered the temperature in the room a few degrees. “Head constable, who did it?”

The head constable felt that Chu Qingzhi was a little scary at this moment. Her eyes were cold and emotionless, carrying a hint of killing intent. He hurriedly said, “Follow me.”

In the depths of the bamboo forest, the constables caught three people. The others ran away, and so did Si Songling.

Chu Qingzhi asked with a dark expression, “These people?”

The constable did not dare to look up at Chu Qingzhi at all. Under Chu Qingzhi’s powerful pressure, he subconsciously replied, “There are two more. We haven’t caught them.”

Chu Qingzhi asked coldly, “Who’s the mastermind?”

Zhou Xiping pushed aside the person standing in front of him and said loudly, “It’s a guy in black.”

Chu Qingzhi’s gaze shifted to Zhou Xiping. She remembered that this was that dwarf she had helped, but he didn’t look like one now. “Thank you.”

She turned to the head constable and said, “Take these people back. I’ll go find the mastermind.”

Then, she flew up.

What kind of deep hatred did they have towards Chu Xujin to beat him like that?

The head constable ordered, “Bring them all back and lock them up.”

The constables replied in unison, “Yes, head constable.”

The three who were caught went limp and hurriedly begged for mercy, but no one listened to them. They were all thrown into the prison.

Si Songling and the other person ran for a long time and unknowingly reached the depths of the forest. The two of them were panting like cows and had panicked expressions, like birds frightened by the twang of a bow.

That person was sweating profusely as he asked, “What should we do now?”

Si Songling said angrily, “How would I know what we should do? Which one of you called the constables? If not for the constables, no one would know even if we beat Chu Xujin to death!”

The other man swallowed nervously. He was terrified. “It’s too late to talk about this.”

Si Songling didn’t think it was that serious. Besides, they didn’t beat Chu Xujin to death. “There’s nothing in this world that money can’t settle.”

Chu Qingzhi stood on the tree trunk, her clear eyes cold. “There are always things in this world that money can’t settle, such as… murder!”

With a gentle twist of her slender fingers, a green leaf appeared in her hand…

A strange melody echoed in the forest. What responded to the melody was the heavy breathing and heavy footsteps.

Si Songling and the other man’s hair stood on end. Their bodies were tense as they looked around in fear.

When they recognized that it was the sound of wild beasts, a chill immediately ran down their spines, spreading throughout their bodies and penetrating their bones.

“Run!” Si Songling shouted and ran.

The other man immediately followed. However, after running for a while, the two of them suddenly stopped and looked ahead with their pupils dilated. Their faces were filled with horror, as if they had seen a ghost.

In front of them, a piebald python coiled around a tree trunk and was flicking its tongue at them…
