Chapter 13 Dispute
In fact, even though everyone was busy with their hands, their hearts were beating fast.

Xie Fei's actions were really too bizarre.

The person has already been gutted, yet there are still a row of small knives and scissors, etc. Do you want to make a few more cuts?
Also, they used several jars of white wine and even sprinkled several loads of quicklime. What was the purpose of it?
Could it be that the noble concubine of a wealthy family thought it was fun and was making fun of everyone on purpose?

Everyone was wondering in their hearts that if Mother Liu hadn't spoken, they would never have accompanied Xie Fei in such a foolish act.

Mother Liu sat on a small stool, the image of her eldest son's dejected face could not be shaken off her mind.

She turned her head and saw Shui Huaiyu had also cried until she lost her voice. She knew she had to rely on herself to hold on.

"Don't worry, Miss Xie doesn't seem like the kind of person who would make trouble for no reason. She must be quite sure of what she did if she dared to do this."

Shui Huaiyu's eyes were swollen. She looked up at Mother Liu, then slowly lowered her eyes and sobbed silently.

Another old woman was afraid that Shui Huaiyu might have a miscarriage, so she came to persuade her to go back and rest, but she refused.

The moon was above the branches, and the village was quiet and dim. Only the room where Xie Fei was was as bright as day.

At this moment, Mother Liu suddenly remembered something and asked, "Daniu, did the horse bear escape, or was it killed by you?"

The strong man, Daniu, replied: "Aunt Liu, you didn't see it. The bear was like a spirit. Its skin was so thick that even an axe couldn't chop it!"

They were lucky to come back alive, but did they expect to kill that three-meter-long bear monster?

Mother Liu's face changed and she said, "Not good! Horse bears are very vindictive. If you blind one of its eyes, it will never let you go!"

Daniu also suddenly remembered what the old people in his family had said about bears eating people.

It is said that brown bears are the smartest and most vicious. If they hold a grudge against humans, they will chase them to the ends of the earth and eat them to vent their anger.

They carried Chen Dafa back today, and there was blood all along the way. The brown bear would definitely follow the smell.

When Daniu thought about having to face the brown bear again, he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly called the other men.

"Take the torches, grab the weapons, and follow me!"

Immediately, everyone patrolled the village together and reinforced the main door, side door, and all places where the brown bear might attack.

But until dawn, there was no sign of the brown bear.

When a hint of paleness appeared in the sky, Daniu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how clever a brown bear is, it would not dare to roam in broad daylight on human territory.

Maybe after blinding one of its eyes, it became afraid of humans and hid in the mountains?

The men felt relieved and went back to the side yard.

There was no sound in the house all night. One could only tell from the swaying figures in the house that Xie Fei and Fu Yu had not rested all night either.

Several worried women accompanied Mother Liu and her daughter-in-law, and kept comforting them. Some of them went to boil hot water and steam some steamed buns for the pregnant woman to eat.

But there are also some sarcastic and mean people who were silent yesterday and came slowly today to poke holes in people's hearts and lungs.

"I'm talking to the Chen family. Your Dalang has become like that. Why do you have to keep him alive and make his life worse than death?"

Mother Liu turned her head and saw that the person coming was Sun, the laziest, most scheming and gossipy woman in the village.

Seeing that Mama Liu ignored her, Madam Sun deliberately shouted into the room, "It's been so long, maybe the person has already died and doesn't dare to say it out loud?"

Daniu scolded, "Mrs. Xie ordered us to be quiet. If you dare to make trouble again, Sun, I will pull out your tongue!"

"Oh, oh, oh," Sun narrowed his rat-like eyes and pursed his lips and yelled, "Who do you think you are? You act so majestic? Wait until my son becomes the new head of the village, and we'll see if you can still be so majestic!" Da Niu's younger brother, the young Er Niu, cried all night. Now he felt tired, scared and guilty, with no place to vent his emotions.

Just then, Sun bumped into the muzzle of the gun. Erniu clenched his fists and jumped over, smashing Sun's nose without saying a word.

"You bastard! My brother Dafa is blessed by heaven, how dare you curse him here!"

Sun screamed and fell to the ground, rolling and wailing.

Sun's son was watching the fun nearby. When he saw his mother being beaten, he rushed out and started fighting with Erniu. The scene suddenly became chaotic.

Sun was forcibly pulled aside by several women, and she jumped up and down and cursed like a shrew.

"Your Chen Dafa is a short-lived ghost. He met the King of Hell last night! Once he dies, my Dalang will be the new head of the village! You black-hearted and rotten-lung people have no sense of propriety. If you don't come to curry favor with me now, I will make you pay for it in the future!"

The flesh on Mother Liu's cheeks was twitching, and her sharp eyes seemed to be about to burst out with fire.

Just then, the door suddenly opened.

Fu Yu's eyes were filled with fatigue, his white gloves and mask were covered in blood, and his white clothes were stained red.

Seeing this, everyone suddenly became quiet, their hearts beating like drums.

Fu Yu glanced at everyone and scolded, "Why are you making so much noise? The girl just told us last night that we must be quiet during the treatment. What are you doing?"

Shui Huaiyu, who had been wandering in her trance, stood up tremblingly and stepped forward to ask: "My husband, he, he..."

Not only Shui Huaiyu, but also Liu Mama, Da Niu and Er Niu and others, even Sun's mother and son were looking at Fu Yu eagerly.

Fu Yu said unhappily, "The stomach has been stitched up, and now I need a blood transfusion. I can only say that it is half done."

Everyone's heart was hanging in the balance, neither up nor down.

This is only half done, is it done or not?
Mother Liu calmed herself down and looked through the floating jade into the house.

Fu Yu gave some more instructions, then went into the house and closed the door again.

The people outside looked at each other.

A young woman asked stupidly, "Anyway, does that mean the person is still alive?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sun spat and said in an evil voice, "She's probably dead, otherwise why wouldn't she let us take a look? In my opinion, the sooner she dies, the sooner she'll be reborn. There's no point in hanging around. It would be a relief if she died!"

Mother Liu pressed her chest, suddenly turned around, and slapped Sun hard in the face with her backhand.

Poor Sun had her nose broken before and the blood hadn't dried yet, and now she was slapped in the face, her cheeks were visibly red and swollen.

Sun's son roared, "Who the hell are you? How dare you hit my mother!"

If he hadn't been held down tightly by Da Niu and his men, he would have rushed up and fought with Mother Liu.

Mother Liu said in a deep voice, "Lock up these two crazy scoundrels first."

"Yes!" Da Niu and Er Niu answered, took the rope handed to them by others, and tied up Sun's son tightly.

Sun was also tied up by the women, a cloth ball was stuffed into her mouth, and she was thrown next to the chicken coop.

Mother Liu looked at the tightly closed door and knew that this was a critical moment and she must not let the noise outside disturb Xie Fei.
