Chapter 225: Being a village chief, isn't it nice?
Soon we saw the gate of Qingfeng Village.
The guards at the gate quickly surrounded them with their weapons and asked, "How dare you! Who dares to trespass into Qingfeng Village?"
After receiving Si Ying's affirmative look, Ying Miaoshu showed her strength and replied loudly, "Tell your boss that the Ying family of Huzhou has come to seek refuge with us!"
The Ying family of Huzhou is a century-old medical family. Their ancestors have produced several generations of imperial physicians, and it is also a very famous family in the country.
So when they heard that the Ying family was coming to seek refuge, the leader of Qingfeng Village and his son-in-law Qin Erdang were stunned for a moment, and then quickly brought people to greet them in person.
Ying Miaoshu took out the Ying family's token. The eldest boss had never seen it before, but the second boss Qin, who had been a high-ranking official in the court, recognized it at a glance. This was the Ying family's thing and it couldn't be fake.
So just as Si Ying had expected, the three of them were indeed treated with great courtesy by the boss, who arranged for them to live in the best rooms and provided space for the brothers and sisters to recuperate.
Si Ying naturally moved in with them and openly lived in the superior room of Qingfeng Village.
This news soon spread throughout the village, and everyone heard that three guests had come to the village. They were received personally by the chief, who had accommodation arranged for them and treated them with great care, especially since there were two beauties among them.
This made Qingfeng Village, which already had more men than women, suddenly a little restless, and many people wanted to catch a glimpse of the two beauties.
Xue Ren naturally also heard about this. He was planning to kill Wang the matchmaker in the next few days and was looking for his next wife. Now that two beauties came to his door, he thought that these were the next wives arranged for him by God.
I was so happy that I wanted to pick the best ones.
So he excitedly went to the courtyard where the three distinguished guests were, but was stopped at the door. The gatekeepers naturally knew him, but the boss had ordered that no one was allowed to clean the courtyard where the distinguished guests were resting and recuperating, so they did not dare to let Xue Ren in.
Xue Ren tried to talk to them for a few words, but when he saw that they didn't give him any face, he couldn't help but frown and clench his fists. It's true that his status is not as high as before recently. Now these low-level minions dare not take him seriously. Xue Ren was so angry that he wanted to hit them.
However, the other party also said that it was the order of the boss and he could not force his way in. In the end, he could only kick one of the minions away in anger and punch the others a few times before leaving in frustration.
This matter also reached the ears of the eldest boss and the second boss Qin. The two shook their heads and felt that Xue Ren was becoming less and less disciplined. They disliked him more and more in their hearts and obviously did not intend to use him anymore.
Xue Ren didn't know that his position in the hearts of the two heads of the village had been getting worse and worse. Compared with before, he went back to his residence angrily, drinking alone. As soon as he entered, he heard Xue Da yelling and cursing, and Wang the matchmaker crying in pain. Recently, Wang the matchmaker always said that she had a stomachache and was about to give birth, but she hadn't given birth yet. She asked a midwife to come, but she also said that it was not the right time.
Xue Ren became angry when he saw the two people wailing. If it weren't for their arrival, would he have ended up like this? He would have been the son-in-law of the boss and the future leader of Qingfeng Village.
But now, look at what kind of life he lives every day. He was harmed by these two people before, and couldn't make it in the town, so he came here. Now it has been destroyed by them again. They must be evil ghosts who come to collect debts, they must be!
Xue Ren drank in big gulps, his drunken eyes fixed on the room where Wang the Matchmaker and Xue Da were. These two evil ghosts were the cause of his current situation. As long as he killed them, his life would be smooth sailing. The voice in his heart kept shouting, and finally turned into a roar.
Xue Ren finally couldn't bear it anymore and smashed the wine jar in anger. He picked up the sword beside him and ran towards the two people's house. He went to Xue Da's house first. He hated Xue Da more than Wang the matchmaker. Otherwise, how could he, his own brother, marry Wang the matchmaker, and how could he end up like this? So he stabbed the yelling Xue Da with a knife.
Before Xue Da could react, he saw his brother slashing with the knife. He only had time to feel a sharp pain in his chest, and then looked at Xue Ren with disbelief. He wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, blood gushed out of it. He said nothing, and died with his eyes wide open, full of hatred.
After killing Xue Da, Xue Ren felt much better. He pulled the knife out of Xue Da's body, turned around and ran towards Wang the Matchmaker's room.
He felt happy and excited. After tonight, the two demons who dragged him down would be gone. He would be free and could start over.
"Hahahaha"
Xue Ren laughed loudly and kicked open the door of Wang the Matchmaker's room, which frightened Wang the Matchmaker. She sat up with her big belly bulging. When she saw that it was Xue Ren, she immediately shouted angrily, "Can't you keep your voice down? What if you scare our child? If our child doesn't come out, it must be because you are too fierce and scared him so much that he dared not come out!"
"If you don't want to come out, then don't come out!" Xue Ren angrily picked up the knife and slashed at Matchmaker Wang. Matchmaker Wang saw the blood on the knife and was so scared that she quickly got up and ran out. Unfortunately, she was pregnant and couldn't run. She was kicked to the ground by Xue Ren. She wanted to shout, but Xue Ren had already chopped her down with the knife. Immediately, Matchmaker Wang's thigh was bleeding profusely.
She was so scared that she screamed for mercy, "Xue Ren, you are crazy, please let me go, I am pregnant with your child. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, if you kill me, the child will die."
"Then die, all of you. You are all demons and you should not live any longer. Hahaha, after I kill you, I can return to the way I was before and be taken seriously again. My good days will be back!"
He smiled and raised the knife. His eyes were full of murderous intent. Matchmaker Wang screamed frantically, praying in her heart that someone would be inspired to save her.
Just like when she was almost beaten to death by Xue Ren and Shui Yuzhen came to save her.
Unfortunately, no one came to save her. The bloody blade quickly cut her throat, blood splattered, and she fell in a pool of blood, breathless.
And Si Ying, whom she prayed to appear again, was now being diagnosed by Ying Miaoshu's eldest brother. She learned from Tuan Tuan that Wang the Matchmaker was dead. Her eyes were calm and her heart was unmoved. Such a person who harmed others did not deserve to die.
Xue Ren was breathing heavily, and he saw that the belly of the matchmaker Wang in front of him suddenly deflated, just like a deflated ball, and it disappeared in an instant.
He was stunned and went forward to check. No child was born on the ground. When he broke it open, he found that there was no child at all. Maybe there was only the air that suddenly dissipated just now.
A thought flashed through Xue Ren's mind. Matchmaker Wang was not pregnant at all, but just had a strange disease. Xue Ren was furious and shouted, "Ah, ah, he was deceived by Matchmaker Wang!" This damn old woman deceived him so badly. He stabbed her a few more times in anger before getting up and leaving the house.
