In a chaotic world, border soldiers begin their journey by enlisting in the army and getting married

The villagers arrived at the backyard under Liu Ruyu's guidance!

When I came over, I saw a pit in the backyard, and a bloodied man was lying in the pit.

It was Zhao Ergou who intended to poison them!

Upon seeing Zhao Ergou and the sharp bamboo skewers piercing flesh, everyone present gasped in horror.

If Zhao Ergou hadn't been still wailing!

At this moment, everyone probably thinks he is dead.

"It's Zhao Ergou! What's he doing here?"

Chen Ersao asked, puzzled.

"You'll have to ask him that."

Liu Ruyu glanced at Zhao Ergou, who lived up to his name and had become a dead dog, and said indifferently.

Kaoshan Village is a poor and remote place!

But the farmers weren't stupid; they exchanged glances and immediately understood what was going on.

This Zhao Ergou used to rely on having a pavilion chief as his father!

She tried to bully Liu Ruyu several times, but Chen Shan caught her and taught her a lesson each time.

It's obvious they're still up to no good!

This time, their attempt to raid the backyard was ill-intentioned, but they ended up running right into a trap set by Chen Shan.

"Pah, you little beast, you deserve it!"

Chen Ersao spat and cursed with a face full of disgust.

As fellow family members, Chen Ersao naturally disapproved of Zhao Ergou's petty theft.

Although the others didn't say anything, they were secretly pleased.

In his spare time, Zhao Ergou often did petty theft and other shady things!

They were wary of the other party having a father who was a village head, so they all turned a blind eye!

I'll tolerate it as long as the other party doesn't go too far, but secretly I'm already hoping they'll get their comeuppance.

"Get out of the way, all of you, get out of the way!"

At this moment, a commotion broke out in the crowd!

But then a middle-aged man in his forties rudely pushed aside the crowd.

When he saw Zhao Ergou in the trap, he almost fainted.

"My son!"

The man yelled and ran to the trap, looking like he wanted to reach out and save Zhao Ergou, but didn't know how to do it.

The middle-aged man was none other than Zhao Ergou's father, the village head of Kaoshan Village—

Zhao Bangde!

"What are you all standing there for? Get my son out of here right now!"

Zhao Bangde glared fiercely at Liu Ruyu, then gave orders to the farmers who were watching.

at last!

With the help of several farmers!

With great difficulty, the group managed to pull the half-dead Zhao Ergou out of the trap.

"Father! Am I going to die?"

Zhao Ergou let out a series of groans of pain, feeling excruciating pain all over his body, and asked pitifully.

"It's alright, son. You've only suffered minor injuries; you won't die."

Zhao Bangde could only offer this consolation, then urgently asked, "Tell me quickly, what exactly happened? Who harmed you!"

"Yes, it was Chen Shan! This trap must have been dug by Chen Shan!"

When this matter was mentioned, Zhao Ergou's eyes were filled with malice!

Upon hearing this!

"Liu Ruyu, this is all your doing! How dare you harm my son! I will report you to the authorities and have you punished!"

Zhao Bangde's eyes were bloodshot!

He roared furiously, looking as if he wanted to devour Liu Ruyu alive.

"Hmph, the traps my husband dug were specifically to keep out thieves. Instead of asking why your son ran into my backyard, you're blaming me."

Little did they know they would be facing the village head's threat!

Liu Ruyu didn't back down at all and retorted directly.

Although Liu Ruyu appears petite and dependent on Chen Shan, she is actually a stubborn and strong woman at heart. Otherwise, why would she have taken care of Chen Shan for so long after his eldest and second eldest brothers passed away?

"you!"

Zhao Bangde was so angry he didn't know what to say.

Why did Zhao Ergou run to Chen Shan's backyard?

As his father, he knew all too well that his father had his eye on Liu Ruyu.

However, he certainly couldn't admit to these things, otherwise his son would have been injured for nothing.

"I don't care! If you don't give me an explanation today, I'm going to report you to the authorities! Let's see if they believe you or me, the village head!"

Zhao Bangde pointed at Liu Ruyu and cursed viciously.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyu's delicate brows furrowed slightly!

What are officials like these days? Just look at Chief Zhao.

If he were to report this to the authorities, the outcome would indeed be unpredictable.

Just then, Zhao Ergou convulsed in pain, and a porcelain bottle rolled out of his arms.

Upon seeing the porcelain vase, Zhao Ergou's expression immediately became anxious:

"Quick, Dad, pick it up!"

Although Zhao Bangde was threatening Liu Ruyu, half of his attention was on his son. When he saw the porcelain vase roll off Zhao Ergou's arms, his pupils contracted.

Zhao Bangde recognized him immediately!

Isn't this just leftover arsenic from their own household use?

This reminds me of Zhao Ergou running to Chen Shan's backyard!

Zhao Bangde immediately understood Zhao Ergou's true intention: he wanted to poison him!

Thinking of this, Zhao Bangde did not hesitate and immediately reached out to pick up the porcelain bottle.

Unexpectedly, someone was faster than him at that moment. In the blink of an eye, the porcelain bottle was picked up by someone else.

"Let me see what this is? It's... arsenic!"

The man picked up the porcelain bottle, opened it, glanced at it, and immediately sneered.

"My lord, you're back!"

Upon seeing this person, Liu Ruyu immediately beamed with joy and rushed over, nestling close to his side as if he were the one in charge.

This person was none other than Chen Shan, who had returned home from hunting.

"Chen Shan! Don't you dare slander me!"

Zhao Bangde saw Chen Shan's expression change and reprimanded him.

"What kind of slander is this? I said this stuff is arsenic, am I wrong? Everyone, smell it and see for yourselves, is this arsenic?"

Chen Shan sneered and turned to hand the porcelain bottles to everyone one by one.

As soon as everyone approached the bottle, they immediately smelled a pungent odor and saw a clump of white powder inside.

"Holy crap, it really is arsenic!"

"What is Zhao Ergou planning to do by sneaking into someone else's backyard with arsenic?"

"What a vicious fellow! He's probably going to poison the well!"

The farmers chimed in with their opinions!

Their gazes toward Zhao Ergou and Zhao Bangde immediately turned hostile.

Arsenic is highly poisonous. Due to the immature production process, it often contains many impurities with a pungent odor, which also serves as a warning to others not to ingest it by mistake.

We're all from the same village, and over generations we've all been related by marriage!

Even if there are any conflicts, they are nothing more than a few arguments.

Who would poison someone like Zhao Ergou!

Zhao Ergou's actions!

This undoubtedly violates everyone's taboo!

Once the matter is settled, Zhao Ergou and his father Zhao Bangde will never be able to hold their heads high in Kaoshan Village, and they may even lose their positions as village chiefs!

Upon sensing the danger, the faces of Zhao Bangde and his son both turned grim!

In particular, when they met Chen Shan's dark, condescending eyes, they couldn't help but shiver.
