Chapter 306: Marrying the Mountain God 28
Gu Li was worried that the experienced detectives would only focus on evidence and not on ghosts and gods, so she had to say, "Two consecutive murders happened in this yard, and the means were cruel, but the pregnant woman in the east room was able to escape unscathed each time. I think there is something strange that I can't explain. Anyway, it's always better to be careful."
One of the detectives laughed and said, "Don't worry. We have been investigating cases for so many years and have seen all kinds of monsters and demons. You can go home quickly!"
Lawyer Cao found a place to stay at a clan's home in the village, rewrote the complaint overnight and waited until dawn the next day.
For some people, time passed by in a flash that night in Taohua Village. The village chief led people to search for his missing grandson all night long, but they could not find him. As the sky gradually brightened, the possibility that the grandson was still alive became smaller and smaller.
Some people also felt that this night was too long.
Lian's mother couldn't wait until dawn, so she got up to make breakfast and carried a basket to bring food to Lawyer Cao.
Gu Li didn't need Lian's mother to call her and got up early on her own initiative. Just after she had breakfast, Lian's mother came back.
"Hey, I'm afraid the village chief's grandson won't be found." Lian's mother put down the basket, walked over and sat down, "The village chief and his men have been looking for him all night, but they can't find even a piece of clothing. Everyone just went back to sleep, and the village chief asked someone to go into the woods to look for him again."
"What about the big one?"
"He had a fever all night, but when he woke up he said nothing and his eyes were staring blankly. Everyone said that the child's soul was unstable and he was frightened out of his wits. In my opinion, maybe he offended some gods. How could this family be like this?"
Gu Li didn't know what to say. The village chief and his wife were both good people, but these unfortunate things were all related to his family.
Before Gu Li could think about it, the village soon became lively. Two constables escorted Qi Shitou, who had a dull look in his eyes, to the village entrance. Zhuzi's body was left at the crime scene, waiting for the coroner to come and perform an autopsy today.
The crying of the village chief's wife could be heard from the center of the village all the way to the village entrance. She hated her son for being obsessed with sex, but she had already lost one son and didn't want anything to happen to another one!
The village chief's wife fainted from crying again and was carried back by the villagers.
Lian's mother sighed. When Yun Shen was taken away by the brigade, she felt the same way. It was as if her heart had been dug out and she just wanted to follow her son!
It was her sisters who persuaded her to stay alive and find a way to leave a descendant for Yun Shen, which gave her the support to live.
Lian's mother held Gu Li's hand and said, "Mom wants to thank A Li. Because of A Li, this family has not broken up." She could actually wait for the day when Yun Shen would come back.
Thinking of this, Lian's mother could no longer stay, so she followed Lawyer Cao and chased after the detectives to the town.
She was going to the yamen to pick up Yun Shen.
Gu Li stayed to look after the house and prepared some things to ward off bad luck.
Qi Dashan's home was very quiet, and there were people in the village helping to find the village chief's grandson. The village chief's daughter-in-law's family also came, but the only people left at home were the village chief's daughter-in-law who was sick in bed and the frightened Hu Tou. The village chief was still looking for someone in the woods and hadn't come back yet.
The culprit has been taken away.
The family wanted to make a scene but couldn't find anyone, so they went to Tang Lan'er's place to make a scene, but were stopped by Shitou's wife. She packed her bags, took the child, and went back to her parents' home with her parents and brothers.
The village head's wife, who was crying silently on the bed, was unable to keep her daughter-in-law from leaving and fainted again.
At the end of the Shen time, a donkey cart appeared in the distance at the end of the path at the entrance of the village. The donkey was whipped and made a sound of "ah-ah-ah" and turned onto the path leading to the Lian family.
"Ali, Ali, we're back!" Before the donkey cart reached the door of the house, Lian's mother shouted loudly into the yard.
Gu Li was basking in the sun in the yard. When she heard the noise, she hurried out.
The donkey cart stopped right in front of her.
"Brother Yunshen!" Gu Li looked up at the man sitting on the edge of the donkey cart and said with a smile, "Welcome home."
The golden rays of light shone on his slightly thin face, making his smile have a faint glow.
The two times she met him were both in prison, and what impressed Gu Li the most was his beautiful eyes.
Now she could finally see him clearly.
Almost a week in prison had made him lose weight rapidly, and his gentle and relaxed brows could not hide his still somewhat pale face.
However, Lian Yunshen had a handsome face and a scholarly air. Perhaps because he had experienced life and death, he had a calm and relaxed temperament.
Once you see him, it's hard to forget him.
He was wearing a green robe with dark patterns embroidered on it. It was a simple and plain garment, but it was brand new.
It should be something that Lian’s mother bought for him in town.
Not only did he change his clothes from head to toe, he also washed his hair and took a bath in the inn, and went to the busiest street market in the town to attract some attention before he was allowed to ride on the donkey cart back to the village.
Lian's mother covered her mouth and pushed her dazed son, then gave Gu Li a look that said "you're great."
Gu Li:-----
Somehow, Gu Li suddenly remembered the night when she went to the prison cell to ask Lian Yunshen to help her break out.
Without waiting for Lian Yunshen to speak, Gu Li turned around and went back to the yard, hurriedly lit the brazier, and took out the willow branches that had been prepared long ago.
Lian's mother patted her son's shoulder in disdain, "You are useless. How come you are not as brave as a little girl like Ah Li!"
"Mom, I, I just wasn't ready."
My uncle, who was driving the coach, stood aside and smiled foolishly.
Lian Yunshen should have celebrated his return after surviving a disaster, but his return was based on the arrest of the village chief's son. Lian's mother didn't want to make it public and just invited his uncle to have a quick meal at home, and that was the end of the matter.
My uncle left very soon.
"Mom, is there no money at home?" Lian Yunshen knew his mother well. If conditions allowed, she would not have only used hard-wheat steamed buns to entertain relatives.
Lian's mother felt a little embarrassed and said, "I have spent all the money you left for me." Even the token of love that Lian's father gave her was pawned.
Lian Yunshen glanced at Gu Li apologetically, and Lian's mother immediately said, "Marrying Ah Li didn't cost the family a penny. On the contrary, Ah Li brought home a lot of dowry."
Lian Yunshen was a little amused and helpless. He had never seen his mother like Ah Li so much before.
"Mom, what are you thinking? I will make up for what we owe to Ah Li in the future. It's my fault this time. I made mom and Ah Li worry about me."
Lian's mother's eyes were filled with tears. "It's good that everything is fine. It's good that everything is fine. But you really have to thank Ah Li. Without Ah Li, you might not be able to come back."
Lian Yunshen was very happy to see the two most important women in his life getting along so harmoniously. He bowed with both hands and saluted them both.
"Yun Shen made mother worried. I am an unfilial son."
"I will repay Xiao Li'er for saving my life with the rest of my life!"
Gu Li's eyelids twitched when she heard about the life-saving grace, "No need to do this, no need to do this."
