Chapter 264 Xiao Tiantian is Injured
The village chief looked at A Ting when he saw the document in front of him. What was this all about? Where on their mountain could they train?
But the village chief knew clearly that he couldn't ask, nor was he qualified to ask.
"Alright, I'll immediately notify everyone to stop going to Xishan. You'll also have to fence off the foot of Xishan then."
"I'll send people to guard the foot of the mountain then. I hope the village chief will warn everyone not to go from the mountains towards Xishan."
"Alright, I'll explain everything properly."
And so, the people of the Bai Rong brigade all knew that Xishan was off-limits. Anyone who entered would be captured. There were also curious people who wanted to know what was in the mountains and tried to explore. However, they were discovered before they had taken a few steps into Xishan.
Zi Yi Sheng kept his word. Those caught would be sent away, without even giving the village chief any face. Consequently, no one dared to step towards Xishan again.
Han Yu Yan also received the news. He had a feeling that the closure of the mountain was instigated by Zi Yi Sheng. The higher-ups also asked him to investigate the situation, so he came to the Ye family again.
When Han Yu Yan arrived at the Ye family's, only Ye Sheng Ge and Xiao Tiantian were at home. Because of the matter on the mountain, the family members went up the mountain almost every day to check on things.
Ye Sheng Ge's brow furrowed slightly when she saw Han Yu Yan, but she quickly recovered her smile.
"Brother Han, why have you come now?"
Han Yu Yan's gaze, already burning with desire, became even more evident as he looked at Ye Sheng Ge's fairer skin under the sunlight.
Such a gaze made Ye Sheng Ge very uncomfortable, feeling sick to her stomach. However, her elder brother had told her not to fall out with Han Yu Yan yet. Although she didn't know the reason, she would follow his instructions.
"Are you two the only ones at home? Xiao Tiantian, do you still recognize me?"
Xiao Tiantian didn't even look up. She was sitting on a small stool, cracking melon seeds, and her skillful manner indicated that she did it often.
Han Yu Yan knew about Xiao Tiantian's condition, so he didn't mind. Instead, he naturally pulled up a chair and sat beside Ye Sheng Ge.
"Where is Mu Zi?"
"Don't know where she ran off to. When I woke up, only Xiao Tiantian and I were left at home."
Han Yu Yan's gaze unconsciously drifted into the distance, the direction pointing precisely towards Xishan.
Ye Sheng Ge sighed inwardly. She felt that this Han Yu Yan, with his ulterior motives, could simply be dealt with. She really didn't understand why he was still allowed to linger around.
Ye Sheng Ge thought of a new medicine she had developed, one that could slowly weaken a person, making them feel like they had a cold until death. She wanted to use it on Han Yu Yan, but she was afraid of ruining Zi Yi Sheng and her elder brother's plans. She felt so annoyed.
But in a daze, Ye Sheng Ge suddenly felt how terrifying she was. When did she become someone who would casually want to take another person's life?
"Sheng Ge, what's wrong?"
Ye Sheng Ge looked at Han Yu Yan in a daze, quickly snapped back to attention, and continued to smile.
"Nothing, just thinking about old times. Is there something you need, Brother Han? By the way, has the murder case been solved?"
Han Yu Yan's eyes were fixed on Ye Sheng Ge's face with intense heat.
"The murder case is solved. It was a doctor from the hospital who was part of a human trafficking ring. A young nurse accidentally killed him when she resisted."
Ye Sheng Ge sighed. So many bad people, and a life ended with just a few words. Lives were truly worthless in the face of criminals.
Thinking of herself just now, she couldn't become a criminal, couldn't kill people so easily. Unless that person truly deserved to die. As for Han Yu Yan, she couldn't be sure how far his wickedness extended.
If Han Yu Yan truly deserved to die, Ye Sheng Ge felt she would definitely be able to kill him.
"The little nurse is quite pitiful. She was harmed by someone at such a young age."
Han Yu Yan knew Ye Sheng Ge was kind-hearted and didn't want to scare her with these matters.
"I'm on holiday today, so I wanted to come and see you. I've always wanted to go hunting in the mountains. I wonder if there's a chance today."
If Ye Sheng Ge didn't know Han Yu Yan's purpose for visiting today, she would be truly stupid.
"Then let's wait for Brother to come home and ask him if he has time."
Ye Sheng Ge didn't want to say anything more. Her personality was actually very straightforward and willful. She didn't want to feign politeness or fake closeness.
"What does Sheng Ge do every day now?"
Han Yu Yan was the one who had no topic, so he found one himself. He wouldn't let this rare opportunity of being alone go to waste.
"Reading at home, doing chores."
"Sheng Ge, have you thought about working? Our unit needs clerical staff to organize some documents."
Ye Sheng Ge shook her head. Wasn't it better to just lie around and win at home?
"I don't like working, I prefer staying at home."
Han Yu Yan had no idea what a conversation ender was. As long as he wasn't embarrassed, it was fine.
"Sheng Ge, why don't you accompany me for a walk around the village? We can also catch some beetles. I didn't have enough last time."
Ye Sheng Ge shook her head. Looking at the bright sun in the sky, her meaning was clear.
"I hate the heat, I'm afraid my body can't take it."
Han Yu Yan felt his mouth was dry. He glanced at the kitchen.
"Can I go and get a glass of water? I'm really thirsty."
This was where Ye Sheng Ge felt embarrassed. She had truly forgotten to offer water to a guest. As for Han Yu Yan going into the kitchen, that was impossible. She was afraid he might do something to the kitchen.
"I'm sorry, Brother Han. I'll get you water right away. Would you like sugar in it?"
Han Yu Yan smiled carelessly.
"No sugar needed, plain water is fine."
Ye Sheng Ge stood up and went into the kitchen. As she was pouring water, she felt someone behind her. Thinking it was Han Yu Yan following her, she didn't pay much attention.
But her neck suddenly ached, her vision instantly darkened, and she heard the sound of a bowl shattering. Then she knew nothing more.
Xiao Tiantian rushed into the kitchen like a madwoman upon hearing the noise. Especially when she saw her sister, who had fainted into Han Yu Yan's arms, there was no fear in her eyes. Instead, there was a fierceness unlike that of a child.
Xiao Tiantian pounced and bit Han Yu Yan's thigh, biting down hard and ferociously.
Han Yu Yan felt a piece of his flesh being bitten off. With one hand, he pulled Xiao Tiantian up and was about to throw her away when Xiao Tiantian's hands became claws, scratching and clawing desperately.
Han Yu Yan's neck was scratched. He then slammed Xiao Tiantian heavily onto the stove. Without caring how Xiao Tiantian fell, he picked up Ye Sheng Ge and left the Ye family's home.
Xiao Tiantian was indeed injured. Her head hit the edge of the stove, and she bled profusely, but her small hands remained clenched.
Ye Mama and Zhen Yi, after finishing their daily gossip gathering, ambled home. Seeing no one in the yard, they assumed the two children were playing inside.
"Sheng Ge, Xiao Tiantian, we're back. What do you want to eat today?"
Ye Mama shouted into the house. She no longer had the decisiveness of Madam Ye or the elegance and nobility of the eldest daughter of the Bai family. Now she was a genuine village woman, her voice loud, and she felt comfortable shouting out everything.
"Ah~ Xiao Tiantian, Sister Ye, hurry! Xiao Tiantian is injured."
