Hu Ailan was also a child of misfortune. Her family were indigenous people from Yemu village. Both her parents had died of illness, and it was Mu Shi who took pity on them and asked his eldest son to...Zongyu delivered the meat to Wang, the village head. Wang couldn't bring himself to refuse. Right now, there were few people who would offer food, let alone meat. Even a close relative might not do this.

Tezhu saw the basket of meat and was particularly shocked.

"Second brother, you were the only one who put in the effort when we caught the snake. We didn't do much to help at all. I can't accept this meat."

Although he said so, his eyes kept glancing at the basket of fresh snake meat.

This is meat! Since the drought, there's been less and less food at home. He's even forgotten when he last ate meat.

Zongyu stuffed the meat into the village head's wife's hands without a word.

"Aunt, please take this." The village head's wife wasn't as conflicted and embarrassed as Wang Village Head and his son. She smiled broadly, took the meat, and quickly said thank you before carrying it to the kitchen.

Village Head Wang wanted to grab it back, but he couldn't keep up with her speed.

Zongyu stopped him, "Uncle Wang, Yu Lian has caused a lot of trouble for you these days living at your house."

"This bit of meat is nothing, you can take it."

"I know you're a good child, so I won't stand on ceremony with you," the village head smiled sheepishly.

"In the future, if you encounter any difficulties on the mountain, just come down and find us, your uncle will definitely help you solve them."

Tie Zhu hurriedly chimed in, "Second brother, why don't we wait until the drought is over I can ask my father to get you a piece of land in the village. You guys could build a house here and move in."

"Living on the hillside all the time isn't safe either."

Zong Yu hesitated for a moment. He had thought about moving out, but everyone in the village was afraid of him.

Let's talk about this later.

"Uncle Wang, I brought some food for Yulian too, where are she and the others"

Zong Yu stood in the Wang family's main hall, motionless, looking around but failing to find Su Yusheng's trace.

The Jade Lily is also gone.

The village head pointed to the house on the west side, “Mr. Su should be in the house. Yulian has been sleeping with your aunt these past two days.”

"Don't worry, since they are staying at my place, your uncle will definitely not let Yulian be bullied or taken advantage of."

Zongyu nodded and stepped out to find his sister.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he heard Zong Yulian's terrified cry coming from Su Yusheng's room.

"Don't come any closer, leave!"

"Help! Monster! Help me!"

Zong Yu's face changed drastically. Without a word, he kicked open Su Yusheng's door. His eyes were bloodshot, and his entire demeanor was off.

He flung his hair back and lunged at Zong Yulian, a trace of blood still on his lips.

Zong Yulian, seeing her elder brother, ran to hide behind him, weeping and trembling all over.

"Big brother, he's a monster! He's crazy, he bit me, and licked my blood."

Zong Yu's eyebrows furrowed tightly. The moment Su Yusheng charged, she chopped at the back of his neck with a hand knife, knocking him unconscious.

Zong Yulian only then dared to come out.

"Big brother, he, he wouldn't be dead, would he"

Zongyu shook his head. "He's not dead, he just fainted."

Wang, the village head, and his family stood outside the door, looking worriedly inside.

Zongyu walked out, "Uncle Wang, why don't I take him back first Jinxiu is good at medicine."

He won't bother you even if he wakes up.

Village Chief Wang nodded. "I'm not afraid of trouble, I'm worried that you might have offended Young Master Su. What if he seeks revenge on you"

These days, he has also seen that this young master Su has a rather arrogant temper.

It seems like there's some sort of grudge between him and Zong Yu Jia. Even Jade Lotus, she gets a bad look on her face when she sees him, but she doesn't dare run home from his side.

The wealthy are people the common folk shouldn't offend. He was worried that if Zong Yu knocked Young Master Su unconscious today, he himself would get into trouble later.

"Without bringing him back, if he wakes up, he'll still go mad and more people will get hurt."

Iron Pillar nodded solemnly, "Second Brother, Miss Su's identity is extraordinary. I know you brought him back to protect our family from being implicated."

"If he wakes up and misunderstands anything, I am willing to testify for you and explain things clearly to Master Su about today's events."

Zongyu patted Tiezhu's shoulder, "Good." Zong Yu just not want to have anything to do with her He was avoiding her so thoroughly, he didn't even want to stand in the same courtyard as her."Zhao Shen, I have something to ask you."He wore a s...
