Husband, don't panic, I'm rich

Chapter 20 Death of the Iron Bull
The man in black clasped his hands, "I saw it with my own eyes."

"What's wrong?" Shen Xi suddenly had a bad premonition.

Master Dong stretched out his hand and patted Shen Xi's shoulder, "Your condolences have changed!"

Shen Xi's mind exploded with a 'coax', "You mean..."

"The Li family of Daqian Village did abduct a boy in Qingyuan Village this morning, and put him in a sack, but he was... dead when he got there."

Shen Xi only felt that five thunders were hitting his head, he died, how could he die?Tears were pouring out of my eyes uncontrollably.

In fact, Master Dong didn't intend to take care of this matter at first, and sending two people to inquire is just a formality, but Shen Xi saved Zong Lin, this matter is another matter.

It can be seen that the Li family in Daqian Village is also quite powerful. Although Master Dong is not afraid of him, it is not a good thing to have another strong enemy.

Master Dong, although he is ruthless, he is still very loyal.

"Come on, I'll go and have a look with you," Dong Ye said.

Shen Xi and Master Dong went to Daqiantou. As soon as they entered the village, Shen Xi deeply felt Shen Dadong's words and supported countless swordsmen.

This place should not be called Daqian Village, but Bandit Den.

In broad daylight, there were no people in the village, even the children didn't go out very often, and there were a few swordsmen with knives entrenched at the gate of the village.

"The distinguished guest came to Daqian Village, and I don't know why." The words were Wen Zouzou, but with the fierce expression and the unsheathed knife in his hand, it was not the same thing.

Of course, to deal with bandits is still to get bandits.

The people around Dong Ye said, "Which way are you on, even dare to block our Dong Ye's sedan chair!"

The word 'Dongye' is a living sign, and the swordsman hurried out of the way, "So it's Dongye, please come inside..." The speaker kicked the dog next to him again, "What are you doing here, don't hurry up Tell the village chief, Master Dong is here."

Master Dong didn't even miss a single face, so he was invited in.

Guided by others, the group came to a house of blue bricks and large tiles that was incompatible with this remote mountain village.

The village head, Li Chengfeng, had already prepared tea and waited for him. Who in these ten miles and eight villages did not know that Mr. Dong, the most beloved Concubine Gao, was his backer.

Li Chengfeng was not sure if those four rebellious sons caused some trouble outside.

"Hahaha, Master Dong, there are times when you are far away, and there are times when you are far away. I don't know what advice Master Dong has."

Master Dong said it directly, and Li Chengfeng turned pale with shock, and hurriedly asked someone to come in for questioning.

After that person explained the whole story, Shen Xi felt that the person they kidnapped might not be Shen Xiaoqiang.Because the man said that the man who was captured was dressed in tatters and was still a thief.

It turned out that just last night when Li Chengfeng's second son was staying in a hotel in the town, he was met by a thief. It was a child from Qingyuan Village who climbed up the window and stole a few taels of silver.

It was okay to steal it from Li's house, Li Chengfeng immediately sent someone to investigate, and tied him back, but he accidentally suffocated to death on the road.

Shen Xi wanted to go and have a look, but when he got to the firewood room, he saw that thin body, it was indeed not Shen Xiaoqiang.

While Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, he also sighed for the dead child.

He is only 11 or 2 years old, skinny and skinny, with a dark face and hair like weeds. If it is not forced by life, who would want to live as a thief.Shen Xi thought of the 21st century, when such a big child is acting like a baby in the arms of his parents.

The woodshed was as dark as her heart.

"How many taels of silver did he steal?" Shen Xi asked.

"It seems to be more than one or two."

"Whose child is this in Qingyuan Village?" Shen Xi asked again.

A ruffian-like man kicked the child's corpse, "What is it called Iron Bull..."

Shen Xi stared at him intently. The man knew that Shen Xi was brought by Master Dong, so he didn't dare to do anything wrong, so he quickly withdrew his feet in fright.

"His name is Tie Niu, he has no name, and he lives in a broken thatched hut at the foot of the mountain in the east of the village."

Shen Xi swept the child up with grass, and she wanted to go back to the village to continue looking for Shen Xiaoqiang, and take the child's body back by the way.

Fallen leaves return to their roots, and they always have to rest in the soil.

Li Chengfeng didn't stop them either. On the way back, Master Dong's subordinates inquired for the latest news, saying that Shen Xiaoqiang, who had been tied up by five flowers, was found in the cave in the back mountain. He is now safe.

After Shen Xi thanked Master Dong, he rode a horse and galloped towards Qingyuan Village, with a small corpse still on the horse's back.

Shen Xi first went to confirm Shen Xiaoqiang's safety, Shen Xiaoqiang was dazed, he didn't know anything, he only remembered that the last person he saw was Shen Dashan, and then knocked him unconscious with a stick.

Shen Dashan, very good, Shen Xi remembered this name.

Not in a hurry to clean up Shen Dashan, Shen Xi sent Tieniu's body home first.

It was a very dilapidated thatched hut, and there was an old man with gray hair sitting on the threshold, muttering, "Why isn't the iron ox coming home, where is my iron ox?"

Shen Xi's eye sockets suddenly became wet.

She first hid Tie Niu's body in the haystack, and wanted to go in to see who else was at Tie Niu's house, she was afraid that the old man would not be able to bear such a blow.

"Grandma..." Shen Xi called out to the old man loudly.

The old man was deaf and couldn't hear at all, but the woman in the back room heard Shen Xi's voice, "Who is it? Who is here?"

Shen Xi walked in.

The woman was thin and pale, with suddenly large eyes, like someone who had been bedridden for a long time.Next to the woman lay a little baby who was also thin but had a very sallow complexion.

The woman looked at Shen Xi timidly, "You, who are you? Is Tieniu back?"

"Tie Niu may...may never come back again." Shen Xi told the woman about the death of Tieniu.

The woman was crying heartbroken, she patted her chest and beat herself, "It's all my fault, my fault, I'm a broken body, sick and troubled, Tie Niu went to steal money to buy me medicine, I killed Tie Niu..."

The corvee burden is heavy and the drought has been prolonged for many years. The peasants can't eat. Where can they get the money to buy medicine?

Shen Xi originally saw that the child was so thin, and thought that he would steal because he was hungry, but it turned out that he was treating his mother's illness, which was even more embarrassing.

Shen Xi's eyes are red, he is only 11 years old, if he can grow up carefree, who would want to bear the burden of life prematurely.

"I'm sorry, when I went there, he was already dead, and I couldn't save him." Shen Xi's voice choked.

The woman was crying and beating her chest. If she hadn't had a baby to take care of, she would have liked to go with Tieniu.

At this time, the baby suddenly convulsed and spit out milk-like foam, and the woman picked up the baby in her arms to comfort him gently.

"He has jaundice, it's already very serious." Shen Xi saw something wrong with the child at first glance.

The woman didn't know what jaundice was, she just cried and asked, "Is he still alive?" Her heart was ashamed.
