Chapter 78: Lizi Wu You

  "We're going together..." Da Bao also got up and was startled by the scene, hastily following Er Bao as they walked away.

  Li Lai Tou was the village's barefoot doctor, and whenever villagers had a cold or injury, they would look for him. He was also self-taught in medicine, and since he picked his own herbs in the mountains, it didn't cost much, so his prices were very low, but his medical skills were still passable. At this time, Si Ba Tou's head was bleeding, and Shen Si Si didn't dare to be careless, naturally she had to hurry up and treat him.

  San Bao looked at the bowl on the ground and said angrily: "The meat we were going to eat for our midnight snack has also been stolen, this damned thief..."

  Si Bao was dizzy, and when he looked up, he saw Shen Sisi staring at him anxiously. He thought he had misseen it, but after hearing San Bao's words, he was also speechless. Please, he was injured, and all San Bao cared about was the midnight snack?!

  This is also too much and too unscrupulous.

  "Are you dizzy?!" Shen Sisi waved her hand in front of him. Si Bao was stunned, and subconsciously shook his head.

  This heartless little girl's concern is really not easy, but it's still possible to think of asking a doctor for him, which doesn't count as too heartless. However, the things that happened later made him unable to smile anymore.

  This girl is best at calculating interest.

  Li Lai quickly invited him over, he took his pulse and examined the wound, smiling: "It's not serious, just apply some medicine and drink some medicinal soup and you'll be fine." After finishing speaking, he took out a few commonly used external injury medicines from his personal box.

  "The villagers occasionally go up the mountain and get hurt easily. My medicine is always with me, you clean his wound, apply a band-aid, one a day, and it'll be fine in a few days, the wound isn't serious..." Li Lai Tou paused for a moment, then said: "However, I'll write a prescription for the medicine to eat, you go into town to get it..."

  Shen Sisi took it over and nodded hastily: "Thank you, Uncle Li."

  Li Lai Tou smiled and said, "Your family's adopted son is quite bold and brave, I'll give him that. He even caught Li Er Dan, not bad..."

  Si Bao was dizzy and couldn't hear what he said, only panting sounds.

  Only Shen Sisi nodded and smiled, "It seems that raising you still has some use..."

  "Ah, you little scamp..." Li Lai Tou couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. He handed her a prescription and said: "Here, take it. Tomorrow morning, go get ten sets of this, one set for morning and evening each day, just boil three bowls of water down to one bowl's worth... after eating it for ten days, you'll be fine..."

  Shen Sisi took over Fangzi and smiled: "Uncle Li, how much is the diagnosis?!"

  "What's the diagnosis fee for fellow villagers?!" Li Lai waved his hand and said: "Next time your dad hunts, just give me a few rabbits, I'll also have a taste..."

  He stood up and walked away with a smile.

  "Thanks, Uncle Li..." Shen Sisi called out, watching as Lai Tou Li waved goodbye to Zhong Gensheng in the courtyard before hurrying off. By now, it was getting late, and he probably wanted to hurry back home to sleep.

  Si Bao was still in a daze when he saw Tu Niu looking at him with a smiling gaze, and he suddenly shuddered, not knowing why. Every time she looked at him with such an expression, his heart felt indescribably tense. Looking again, Tu Niu had already shifted her gaze, intently examining the paper slip instead.

  It's really strange, the four treasures muttered to themselves, this girl doesn't look like a girl at all, and she can even read, thinking of the things she threatened not to tell anyone about makes them feel very depressed, self-taught? Is it really a monster?!

  However, the four treasures were still puzzled in their hearts, but they only muttered to themselves and didn't dare say it out loud. Now he knew that this girl had all sorts of ways to deal with him, she had plenty of ways to make him regret it.

  At this time, He Axiu was also awakened by the noise. She came out and took a look, then exclaimed in surprise: "Si Bao, are you okay?!"

  "Look, it's okay, Lai Tou has been here and prescribed some medicine, just stick on a few more plasters and take a few more doses of medicine, Mother, don't worry..."

  "What about Li Er Dan?!" He Axiu was indignant, "Our family just got twenty taels of silver and everyone's eyes are red with envy. There are several people in the village who have more money than us, why did they target our family?!"

  "That Li Er Dan thinks our family is honest and easy to bully, this time we can't let him off..." Shen Si Si said with a sinister smile.

  Zhong Gensheng shouted outside the courtyard: "Tuniu, do you want me to invite the village head?!"

  "Not now, it's so late, wouldn't disturbing him be bad?!" Shen Sisi smiled slyly and walked into the courtyard, laughing: "Dad, tie him up first, gag his mouth, and bind him to the big tree in the courtyard..."

  "This," Zhong Gensheng said with difficulty: "Is this okay?!"

  "Hmph, what's wrong with that? He came in to steal things, and we tied him up. It's only logical..." Shen Sisi said coldly.

  "What if it's frozen... " Zhong Gensheng still couldn't bear to part with it, "Besides, he was also injured by me, so let's just forget about it..."

  " Forget it? If you don't teach this kind of person a lesson, there will be next time, and it will get worse... Don't worry, Dad, it's not too cold tonight, I won't freeze to death. I think he's all bark and no bite, what can his injuries do? Not as serious as the Four Treasures...” Shen Sisi said: "Listen to me, Dad, it's true, tomorrow morning we'll go invite the village head and the villagers to see the excitement..."

  Zhong Gensheng finally responded, binding Li Er Dan who was crying and howling like a ghost, ignoring his curses, stuffing his mouth, and tying him to the jujube tree in the yard...

  "Hmm... " Li Er Dan struggled with all his might, but couldn't break free after all, and ended up in a miserable yet hateful state.

  "Alright, go to sleep, Father, you also go back to the house..." Shen Sisi said hastily.

  Zhong Gensheng responded with a sound, and helped the Fourth Treasure into the house. Only then did he pull the hesitant He Ashu into the house. He Ashu still had some worries, "Gensheng, this..."

  Zhong Gensheng paused for a moment, then said: "Let's listen to Tuni. What she says is right. If we don't teach him a lesson and just let it go like this, there will be more trouble in the future. Just Li Er Dan's harassment alone is already unbearable..."

  "That's what I'm saying, I'm just afraid tomorrow will be even more troublesome..."

  "What's there to be afraid of? Anyway, I'm in the right..."

  He Qiu showed helplessly and said: "These days, so many things have happened."

  Zhong Gensheng comforted her and they went to bed separately.

  Li Erdan was frozen stiff that night, his nose running non-stop, and to make matters worse, he was tied up so tightly that he couldn't even move. He finally managed to endure until morning, when many villagers discovered him. Suddenly, the courtyard of the Zhong family became even more lively, with villagers rushing over in twos and threes to see the commotion, pointing and whispering to each other. Some were even holding bowls of breakfast, while others squatted in a corner, intently asking what had happened. As soon as they heard it was about theft, they immediately thought of the silver money the Zhong family had received yesterday, and understood. The villagers' pointing and whispering made Li Erdan's already muddled head ache even more, especially since he was utterly humiliated...

  He Li Er Dan usually did something bad, the villagers had never treated him like this before, it was almost the first time he was so thoroughly humiliated in public, instantly his face turned red and his ears were burning, with a pair of beady eyes and a runny nose, he looked utterly wretched.

  Instead, the Zhong family was very calm. Tuni finished making breakfast in the kitchen and the whole family gathered around the small table to eat. The lively scene outside finally made He Ashu unable to hold back, saying: "What do we do now?!"

  Shen Sisi put down her bowl and smiled: "...... Da Bao, go invite Li Zheng over."

  The treasure was waiting for this sentence, put down the bowl and ran away with a red face.

  Shen Sisi narrowed her eyes and gazed outside at the increasingly large crowd. She had been waiting for this moment, to see Li Er Dan's true colors under the watchful eyes of everyone. If they had gone to ask Li Zhong last night, they wouldn't have lost anything substantial, and it was likely that the matter would have been easily glossed over. This was something Shen Sisi could not agree with. Now, with so many people watching the commotion, this was the perfect opportunity.

  Li Zheng came again, and he was a bit speechless about the Zhong family. How did they have so many things in these two days? Looking at Li Er Dan's unlucky appearance, his head hurt even more. There were not many people who didn't understand. This second-rate person had done things in the village that weren't too hated by heaven and man, so many people just lightly covered it up and let it go. Now he sneaked into someone else's home, this time, it was unlikely to be like before.

  Just as he was thinking about this, he stared at Shen Sisi in surprise. From yesterday on, he felt that this kid from the Zhong family was not ordinary. Although she was only eight years old, she seemed like an adult, as if everything had been carefully calculated, and even led several adults to the result she wanted. This was really not something an eight-year-old girl could do. This child was truly precocious...

  He took a complex look at Shen Sisi, and sighed that the Zhong family was an honest family, but unexpectedly produced a little girl who was so fierce. It's just a pity that she's a daughter, if it were a son...

  He walked up to the disheveled Li Er Dan with a darker face and said: "What's going on?!"

  Some villagers laughed and said, "What else could happen? Li Er Dan was thinking about the eighteen taels he got yesterday, so he came back secretly at night, but unexpectedly, he didn't get the chicken and lost his rice instead, haha, serves him right..."

  "It's just, it's just..."

  ……

  The villagers who had long hated him were now gnashing their teeth, and one by one they fell into the well, afraid of being late, each person couldn't wait to come and trample on him heavily.

  Shen Sisi just smiled and said, "Go hold the chair for Lǐ Zhèng to sit down, this case must be let Lǐ Zhèng decide, Dà Bǎo, you go bring out Sì Bǎo..."

  Dabao hurried away, Erbao brought over a chair and sat down, looking at Shen Sisi with deep thought in his eyes.

  "Li Zheng, please sit down slowly and let me tell you slowly. The truth is that Li Er Dan was jealous of the silver money my family received yesterday, so he sneaked into my house last night and was discovered by Si Bao, who shouted in time for my father to catch him...” Shen Sisi smiled and said: “But he injured my family's Si Bao..."
