Chapter 110: Silence
Old Granny Zhang’s words had barely faded when the crowd that followed to watch the commotion burst into an uproar.
Everyone knew the Wang Family’s Eldest Child was hit by a rock on his waist yesterday, and they said he was done for, dragged off to town, now to become a cripple! Such a pity!
And it was actually done by the Li Family’s youngest son? Impossible, right?
Someone then remembered, "Now that you mention it, yesterday around midday, I saw that Li Family kid who hardly ever leaves his home, like a young lady, coming down from the mountain, covering his face with his sleeve, and with a big tear in the hem of his clothes. I was surprised at the time, thinking the child must have tumbled down the mountain. Turns out he was off harming someone!"
"You better not talk nonsense, this is a matter of life and death!"
"Now that you say it, I also remember that yesterday morning, I saw the Li Family’s third boy, sneaking up the mountain with a shovel. I even thought to myself back then that, after the disgraceful incident involving his sister, he has grown up and knows to head up the mountain..."
...
The crowd was babbling nonstop, especially at this time in the village when everyone was idle, there were plenty of bored people, and with so many eyes, there were those who had seen Li Jinlong.
With all these observations compared, everyone began to form conclusions.
