Chapter 178 Pushover



Chu Qingzhi pretended not to hear him.

At this moment, Chu Xuede came out with a long thick hemp rope and said very seriously, "I need two people to help me tie him up and a few more people and go and dig a pit to bury him when it\'s dark."

Seeing that everyone was serious, Chu Zhongyuan trembled in fear and hurriedly ran away. "You murderers, I\'m going to report you to the authorities."

Everyone looked at Chu Zhongyuan escaping in a sorry state and laughed out loud.

"How dare this coward cause trouble in our village!"

"Does he really think everyone is a pushover?"

When Chu Zhongyuan heard the humiliating words behind him, he was embarrassed and angry. He swore in his heart to teach Chu Qingzhi a lesson!!!

Chu Qingzhi felt very touched by Li Qingyu\'s protective behavior just now. "Mother, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? You\'re my daughter. Even if you hurt me, I won\'t hurt you." Li Qingyu tidied the hair on Chu Qingzhi\'s shoulder. "When I gave birth to you, our family had just paid the taxes and didn\'t have much money. Chu Zhongyuan is rich. I thought that he would give you a bite to eat so that you wouldn\'t starve. I didn\'t expect him to be so vicious."

"Mother, it\'s alright. It\'s all in the past."

When the dead Chu Qingzhi was locked up in the woodshed by Wang Peifang, in the dark night, she hugged her legs and looked at the moon in the sky in a daze. She asked herself softly why her biological parents didn\'t want her.

Actually, Chu Rong and Li Qingyu were kind-hearted. Their original intention of sending the child away was also good, but this harmed their child. Chu Qingzhi did not know if she should resent her parents or not for the dead Chu Qingzhi.

However, she would definitely not let Chu Zhongyuan\'s family off.

Li Qingyu\'s heart was filled with regret. "Mother will definitely not let you suffer any grievances in the future."

Chu Qingzhi nodded. "Mother, our family will be happy and well in the future."

Li Qingyu said, "Yes."

Chu Qingzhi called her two disciples over and went to the rice dumpling workshop to continue the next step of brewing beer.

The next step was the second step, germination. This process would take three days.

All the wheat grains had been soaked in water beforehand. Then, they were placed in the dark room to germinate.

Chu Qingzhi placed the four bamboo sieves covered with wheat grains on the wooden shelf and used the box to block the sunlight. After that, she didn\'t need to interfere.

She turned around and asked her two disciples, "Have you written it down?"

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang looked humble. "Yes we did."

Chu Qingzhi suddenly had an idea. "How about this? When I finish the entire process, you guys can do it on your own. Treat it as an exam and let me see your performance."

"Sure." This made the two high-spirited youths feel challenged.

Chu Qingzhi smiled. "Let\'s go."

"Ok."

When it was time, Fu Bao came out of the stable and ran to the school to pick up the children.

At the entrance of the school.

"Hey, look, there doesn\'t seem to be anyone on that horse."

"That horse is good. Its fur is good, and its leg muscles are tight. It\'s definitely a horse with excellent stamina and endurance. It\'s worth at least five hundred taels of silver."

"It\'s worth 500 taels?! So expensive!!" (500 taels is about 500,000 yuan in modern currency. I\'m not sure, but it must be a lot of money.)

"Mm, let\'s go take that horse away…"

"What if someone finds out?"

"There are so many people here. Who would pay attention to us? Besides, we\'ve been standing here for so long, but no one has approached that horse. It must be ownerless. Let\'s go!"

Two students who had evil thoughts slowly walked towards Fu Bao.

One of them was on the lookout, and the other was reaching for the reins of the horse…

When Fu Bao saw a sneaky stranger coming to pull its reins, it immediately neighed and raised its legs high to kick the Horse Stealer to the ground.

Cracks… The Horse Stealer was trampled on the ground, and the spine on his back had been broken into three pieces.

"Arghhh—" An ear-piercing scream sounded, breaking through the sky.

It was off school time. Many students were walking out of the school and going back home together. It was very noisy, but after the scream sounded, the place instantly fell silent, as if time had stopped.

The student who was on the lookout was so frightened that he did not dare to move. He slowly turned around and saw blood on his companion\'s back. The color on his face immediately drained. "Murder! Horse killed someone!"

These words alarmed Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao, who had just come out of the school. The two of them immediately ran towards Fu Bao. Seeing that Fu Bao was fine, they relaxed.

The Horse Stealer pointed at Fu Bao. "Your horse killed someone!"

Only then did the two of them notice a motionless person lying on the ground. Chu Xuyao asked indignantly, "What evidence do you have to say that it was our horse that did it?"

The Horse Stealer said with trepidation, "There are hoofprints of your horse on his back!"

Chu Xuyao did not panic. Fu Bao would never hurt someone for no reason. He thought for a moment and asked, "Were you trying to steal my horse?"

The Horse Stealer immediately looked away guiltily. "We didn\'t. We were just passing by when your horse suddenly kicked my companion to the ground and stepped on him."

"Impossible!" Chu Xuyao said with certainty. "Fu Bao will never hurt anyone for no reason!" He looked around and bowed. "Senior Brothers, did any of you see what happened?"

"I saw the one on the ground go to hold the horse\'s reins. As soon as his hand touched the horse\'s reins, the horse got excited."

"You\'re talking nonsense!"

"There must be others who saw it. Those who saw it, step forward. We can\'t let the evil go unpunished and let the good be wronged!"

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao looked at the student who spoke in surprise. If this senior brother became an official, he would definitely be a good official.

"I saw it!"

"I saw it too!"

Four or five people stepped forward one after another.

Chu Xuyao said, "Look, I knew that you wanted to steal the horse. You are just reaping what you sow. It has nothing to do with us. We won\'t be responsible for this."

Chu Xuyuan echoed, "That\'s right. All of this is your fault!"

The Horse Stealer couldn\'t argue.

Song Qingyuan pushed through the crowd. When he saw the scene in front of him, he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Chu Xuyao pointed at the person on the ground. "Senior Brother Song, take a look at his injuries first." Although stealing a horse was wrong, there was no need to pay one\'s life for this.

Song Qingyuan had already squatted beside the Horse Stealer and was about to examine his body.

The Horse Stealer had already fainted from the pain, and the snow-white student uniform on his back was stained with blood.
