The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1140 - Chapter 1140 1140

Chapter 1140: 1140 Chapter 1140: 1140 She had crossed one mountain after another, barefoot, her feet blistered and bleeding, yet she still did not feel the pain.

Her only thought was to hurry back to the village to bring help.

The weather was freezing.

Although the exit only had a flat gap of one meter leading outward to that cave, which third brother could not get through because it was more than two meters underwater,

she feared the villagers would not be willing to take to the water so easily in such cold weather.

She had already hidden the silver notes and coins carefully.

She believed that even on the coldest of nights, the promise of a good reward would surely entice someone brave with good swimming ability.

When she reached the mountain closest to the village and was about to enter it, Su Qingyue deemed it inappropriate to encounter anyone while clad only in her bellyband and panties, so she opened the package secured by her waist belt and put her damp clothes back on, as well as the shoes she had wrapped inside them.

Since she was dressing behind a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain, two people happened to pass by.

“Who would’ve thought Su Qingyue would dare to murder someone,” said Qian Laixi, overhearing.

“Indeed, that woman was fierce enough in the village, beating up Liu Xianglian’s mother Liu Zheng not to mention getting into fights with me and my wife,” added Qian Duotian, Qian Zhang’s husband, “Now it serves her right, Su Qingyue must be fleeing out of guilt.

And Xiao Yuchuan, who knows how he disappeared!”

“The county office sent someone to inform the village that if Su Qingyue is found, we should report it immediately.

They want to arrest her and send her to prisonaEUR”wonder if there’s any reward money?”

“The government office didn’t mention any reward money, so there might not be any,” Qian Duotian said, his expression filled with loathing, “That wretched Su Qingyue, even without the reward, if I see her, I’ll report her to the office myself and let her rot in jail!”

“Su Qingyue is quite the beauty, you don’t often see a woman as beautiful as her.

It’s hard to believe someone both deaf and mute, with a face full of sores, could be so beautiful,” said Qian Laixi, “It would be a pity if she ends up in prison.”

“No pity necessary,” lechery flashed in Qian Duotian’s eyes, “If we find her first, we can have our way with her, then take her to the government office.

She’s going to be beheaded anyway; there’s no fear of what she might do…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Qian Duotian’s mouth was agape, and his eyes were bulging out as if he had seen a ghost.

Qian Laixi, Duotian’s cousin, saw the odd expression and asked, “What’s wrong?

Did you see a ghost?”

When he got no response, he reached out to push him.

Unexpectedly, Qian Duotian fell to the ground, and upon closer inspection by Qian Laixi, he had stopped breathing entirely.

“Ah!” shouted Qian Laixi.

Neighbors lit their lamps and the hunter, Li Yibao and his family, were the first to arrive.

“What’s happened?

Why all the screaming in the middle of the night?”

“My cousin suddenly died…just died…” Qian Laixi was so frightened he was pale and trembling.

“Can’t be.

He was fine.

How could he just die?

Let’s take him back home quickly and call Doctor Sun from the village.

Maybe there’s still hope…” Grandpa Qin, who lived nearby, suggested.

Li Yibao was about to help carry the body when his wife, Mrs.

Li Wang, stopped him, “What are you doing touching the dead?

He died mysteriously; you might get blamed if anything goes wrong.”

Several villagers who had initially come forward to help, upon hearing Mrs.

Li Wang, retreated and dared not get involved.

Mrs.

Li Wang, who was afraid of the dead body, hid behind Li Yibao.

Grandpa Qin said, “Qian Laixi, go on and carry your cousin back.

I’ll look for Doctor Sun…”

The stunned Qian Laixi immediately complied.

“Hey, one minute he’s alright, how could Qian Duotian have suddenly died…” Mrs.

Li Wang said, pulling at her husband’s sleeve in confusion.
