Chapter 425 Did you hit someone?
Xu Yuan sat in the car without saying a word, quietly watching the passers-by who had no idea what was going on and made up stories based on what they saw.
A kind-hearted lady came forward to check on the figure lying on the ground crying. Looking at the tattered clothes on the little figure, she felt distressed.
"My child, it's all right. I'll take care of it for you. Are you hurt?"
"No...it's okay, grandma. I just feel some pain in my feet. Thank you for your concern." Wen Dajun was a little surprised that the old lady came up to him and showed concern for him. He felt a little weak in his heart and answered stutteringly, not daring to raise his head.
As more and more people gathered around, the police officers who were patrolling on both sides of the street noticed this place.
"Make way, make way." A burly officer in the lead shouted at the top of his voice and patted the passerby in front of him, signaling him to make way.
The passerby was so engrossed in watching that he didn't want to move aside at all. He was just about to ask the person to squeeze somewhere else, but after seeing who the person was, he swallowed back the words he hadn't said yet, and consciously moved a few steps to make room for him.
Once there was one, there was another. Everyone gradually made way for the officials to come forward.
"What happened? What are you gathering here for?" Jing Wan, the officer who looked rather burly, asked in a stern voice.
"Sir, this bullock cart was not paying attention when it hit the child. We are seeking justice for the child."
"Nonsense! I saw that the child was quite far away from the bullock cart. How could he have hit her?"
"No, I saw it all. He was the one who hit it."
"Hey, why do you talk nonsense like that? If you encounter this kind of thing next time and no one who can understand the situation comes out to talk about it, then it would be an unjust death."
The passers-by, who had originally stopped arguing because of the arrival of the police, started arguing again with their own opinions.
Xu Yuan frowned unconsciously and looked at the little figure leaning on the old woman. The person kept his head down and sobbed softly.
"What are you arguing about? Shut up."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Jing Wan really didn't want to listen to these people chattering here, so he glanced around and looked at the most crucial person in this incident, Xu Yuan.
"Tell me, what happened? If you can't explain it, then follow me back to the county government office."
"This is a small matter. Don't worry about it. We can solve this matter privately."
Hearing that it could be resolved privately, Jing Wan's frown finally relaxed a little. If these minor matters that did not threaten life had to be brought to the county government office to be resolved, the county magistrate would be very busy.
"In that case, we won't keep you company any longer. Ah Er, you stay."
"Yes."
After Jing Wan finished speaking, he glanced at the child whose face he couldn't see clearly and Xu Yuan, then turned and left.
The onlookers once again made way for Jing Wan and others to leave, and looked back at the place where the conflict occurred.
Xu Yuan got off the ox cart and came to the child. The old lady was afraid that Xu Yuan would do something bad to the child, so she quickly put Wen Dajun behind her. Her cloudy eyes were full of vigilance towards Xu Yuan.
"Kid, there are so many people watching, don't bully a child."
Because Xu Yuan had just spoken to the officer in a low voice, and he was wearing a face scarf and a straw hat, and was dressed like a man, everyone treated Xu Yuan as a man.
"Auntie, you are such a joker. Have you seen me say a word or fight once since then?"
"This……"
The old lady was speechless. What she said about her wish was indeed true, and she had no intention of running away.
"You, raise your head!" Xu Yuan looked at Wen Dajun who was still keeping his head down, and said sternly.
"Tell me how I bumped into you. I was obviously still some distance away from you."
The onlookers stopped talking at this point and just watched the fun in silence.
"I……"
"I don't remember! My head is a little groggy now, and my feet still hurt."
"…Did I…break my brain, wuwuwu"
As she spoke, she began to cover her face and cry again.
It was the first time for Wen Dajun to do such a thing, and he felt really guilty, but the pain in his body was real. Otherwise, if he pretended to lie on the ground, the first hurdle would be that he couldn't even deceive himself, let alone deceive others.
Xu Yuan saw that the child was doing his pretending for real and she really didn't want to get entangled with him any longer. The child's eyes were full of guilt and shame. He was not the greedy and determined person she had imagined, who would show the look of a villain after his tricks succeeded. Although Xu Yuan didn't want to assume that of a ten-year-old child, since he dared to commit fraud, why couldn't Xu Yuan think that way.
"Child, if you still feel uncomfortable, tell the doctor clearly. Since he is still here, let him take you to see a doctor. You can't suffer in silence." The old lady advised kindly.
"Grandma!" A cry of surprise came from the crowd.
"Yuan Ya..." He stopped talking before he could even finish the words. Then he started talking again, "Yuan boy, what are you doing here? You...you bumped into someone?"
Uncle Wang squeezed out of the crowd and shouted, with a little child following him.
Xuyuan and the kind-hearted lady looked towards the source of the sound at the same time.
"Liang'er, why are you here?" Aunt Wu shouted in surprise.
"Grandma, you've been out for so long and haven't come home yet. We were a little worried, so we came out to look for you. Grandma, are you okay?" Niu Yuanliang replied anxiously, and then looked curiously at the figure leaning against his grandma's side. Wen Dajun met Niu Yuanliang's gaze and his eyes couldn't help but dodge a little.
Uncle Wang and Village Chief Gu also went to Uncle Niu's shop, wanting to ask if anyone had asked him about the location of Hsinchu Village. After all, Uncle Wang had made a reservation through Uncle Niu to build a brick bed, and most people in the county knew about it. So they subconsciously asked those people who knew about Hsinchu Village to go and ask Uncle Niu.
After the two of them went there, they knew it was true. But to be honest, there is really no such thing as a great person. But when it comes to capable people, they both thought of making a wish. After all, since the girl had been treated for her fall, it seemed as if she had become smarter and knew a lot of ideas that ordinary people didn't know. But Uncle Wang and Village Chief Gu didn't say anything. They just said that they couldn't help with this matter and asked him to refuse those people.
Those who can ask for help from experts must have encountered serious things. They are just better at farming, but they don’t have any real skills. Even if they are curious, they can’t rush to seek death.
Just when they were about to leave, Grandpa Niu's grandson came hurriedly and said that his grandma had been out for a long time and had not come back, and had not brought anyone else with her. He was afraid that something had happened to her, so he ran over with red eyes and asked if his grandma had arrived.
When Uncle Niu heard this, he became anxious. His wife had just recovered from her illness and he couldn't let anything else happen.
So they didn't leave and helped look for people.
Uncle Wang looked at the scene in front of him and saw Xu Yuan and the person the child was looking for, and he felt a headache.
I wonder if the girl who made a wish had bumped into that kid’s grandmother.
