Chapter 177 Portrait Search
Qian Wentao, who had just woken up, was dazed. He shifted his gaze and saw the scene inside the house. He recognized where he was. He recalled the time when he went hunting in the woods and accidentally met Xia Qingyue and others.
Scenes replayed in his mind like a movie. Xia Qingyue raised the arrow with a cold expression and shot it towards himself, hitting him directly in the chest.
"Ah!" Qian Wentao was there in person. He raised his hand to touch his chest in shock. After a few random touches, he felt the bandage. He raised his head and tried to sit up, but failed because he was too weak.
"Ah, it hurts..."
The clear pain was like a knife scraping his flesh. Qian Wentao felt dizzy and sweaty from the pain. He cried out a few times and suddenly realized, "I'm still alive. I'm not dead!"
He raised his head and looked around. There were several strangers standing in front of him. He didn't recognize any of them, but he recognized that this was his father's room. He thought he was rescued by his family.
Facing Guan Jianshan and the others, Qian Wentao looked proud and said angrily in the tone of a young master, "Are you all blind? Can't you see that I'm awake? Why don't you go find my father quickly!"
When Zhao Gen and Li Danian heard this, their faces became darker than each other and they clenched their fists so hard that they made a creaking sound. They walked towards the bed, wanting to teach Qian Wentao a lesson.
Guan Jianshan stared at Qian Wentao for a few times, his eyes unpredictable. He turned sideways, sneered, and said to Zhao Gen: "Go, do as he says."
Zhao Gen seemed to understand something and turned around to walk out.
As soon as he left, Guan Jianshan started to chat casually, "Master Qian, you were seriously injured, but you are fine now. Who on earth was so bold as to hurt you?"
Qian Wentao snorted coldly, and naturally regarded the people in front of him as Qian Zhongsheng's men. "They were a few unruly people. I went to the forest to hunt and ran into them by chance, and was attacked by them."
Guan Jianshan showed curiosity, "Oh? Who are they? The Lord is very worried and hopes that we can capture them as soon as possible."
Qian Wentao didn't think much about it, and said angrily while biting his back teeth:
“I know those people. Once they have recovered from their injuries, I will personally lead people to capture them. After catching them, I will torture them one by one. I want to let the world know that there will be no good end for those who mess with me.
Especially that damn woman, when I get tired of playing with her, hehe..."
Hearing this, Guan Jianshan raised his eyebrows.
Li Danian looked relieved.
There were footsteps coming from outside. It was Zhao Gen who had gone out and came back. He walked to the bed with a wooden tray covered with red cloth in one hand and said to Qian Wentao with a smile, "Master Qian, the people are here."
Qian Wentao looked left and right, "Where is my dad?"
Guan Jianshan and the other two sneered.
When the red cloth was lifted, a bloody human head appeared on the wooden tray.
The face of the head was facing Qian Wentao, with round facial features, pale skin, and a pair of dead fish eyes that were wide open, revealing resentment.
At first glance, Qian Wentao was so frightened that he screamed, rolled his eyes and fainted.
Li Danian got a basin of cold water and poured it over Qian Wentao's head, deliberately avoiding the injured part.
Qian Wentao was awakened by the water. When he saw Guan Jianshan and the other two again, he hugged the quilt and shivered all over, like a little quail facing a big tiger. He opened and closed his mouth for a long time and said weakly, "You, who are you?"
Qian Zhongsheng's head was not far away, and Qian Wentao could see it with his peripheral vision. He sobbed and tears streamed down his face.
Zhao Gen and Li Danian coughed twice as if to warn, which scared Qian Wentao so much that he closed his mouth and dared not make a sound.
With a "pop", Guan Jianshan took out a pen and paper and threw it at Qian Wentao, "Draw the portraits of those who hurt you. If you dare to play tricks, you will be the next head."
"Set it up and paint." Guan Jianshan instructed Zhao Gen and Li Danian.
With their help, Qian Wentao was lifted up and sat up, and he began to paint the portrait with trembling hands.
After finishing all the paintings, Qian Wentao was exhausted and fainted again.
Li Danian wanted to pour cold water on him, but Guan Jianshan raised his hand to stop him. "I don't think he dares to do anything. Go and ask the refugees with the portraits to see if anyone recognizes them. Anyone who can provide useful clues will be given ten kilograms of game or rice!"
In the following days, Qian Wentao was taken care of with good food and drink, and his injuries gradually recovered.
At the same time, several days after the portraits were distributed, many refugees vaguely said that they knew the people in the portraits, but after careful questioning, no useful clues were obtained. They all came for meat and food.
Two days later, a refugee secretly found Guan Jianshan's confidant and said that the family in the portrait were villagers from the same village as him, and their name was Li.
Seeing that what he said made some sense, the confidant brought the man to Guan Jianshan.
Qian Wentao was also brought over to have a face-to-face conversation with the man.
The man was a man in his fifties, with a pale face, thin body and sunken eyes. He pointed to several portraits on the table and weakly gave their names and relationships.
"There are four people in the Li family. Chen Dawei is Chen Yuzhen's brother."
"What about these two?" Zhao Gen pointed to two other portraits, which showed a man and a woman, one tall and one short.
The man looked at the portrait several times, pondered, and finally fixed his gaze on the portrait of the woman. "This woman seems to be a relative of the Li family. She has been a guest at the Li family. I have seen her from a distance before."
"Oh, by the way, when she came that time, she had a black dog with her."
Qian Wentao, who was sitting opposite, had a slightly changed expression.
After a few days, Qian Wentao had told everything he knew about Xia Qingyue and the others. Upon hearing this, Guan Jianshan asked the man to talk about Black Dog in detail.
The man tried to recall for a long time and said, "The black dog is fat and strong, with black fur. From a distance, it looks as shiny and smooth as the surface of the water."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and gestured to measure the size.
Qian Wentao rushed to the mountain and nodded.
"Where are these people in the mountains?" Zhao Gen asked again.
"I don't know. I heard from others that they moved to the mountain with the Fang family a long time ago."
Li Danian asked fiercely, "Where are the Fang family members?"
"This, this, I don't know..." The man was terrified. "Oh, by the way, my family said that they heard from Zhou Maolin's family in the village that they met the Fang family in the mountains."
"Since the turmoil in the village, I don't think I've seen Zhou Maolin and his family in the village. But I can draw their portraits or go out to look for them!" the man said humbly.
"Take him away." Guan Jianshan said to Zhao Gen.
Zhao Gen took the man downstairs.
Qian Wentao, who was sitting on the stool, rolled his eyes. He stood up suddenly, walked a few steps to Guan Jianshan, and knelt on his knees. "Brother Shan, I will definitely help you with all my strength and try to clear all obstacles for you as soon as possible!"
Li Danian glanced at him sideways.
Guan Jianshan raised his lips slightly, "We were the ones who killed Qian Zhongsheng, but you don't hate us, but help us instead?"
Qian Wentao's face flashed with unnaturalness, but soon he recovered his loyalty and wanted to do something big, "In troubled times, the strong are respected, the dead are gone, it's my father's incompetence, Brother Shan is a great man.
My life was saved by Brother Shan, I want to live well, if you can spare my life, you will be the greatest benefactor of my life!"
"Okay, okay, you go back and recuperate first. When you find the Fang family or the Zhou family, you will lead people to find the Li family!" Guan Jianshan stood up, walked forward, patted Qian Wentao's shoulder with a slight smile.
After Qian Wentao left, Li Danian had some concerns and said frankly: "Brother Shan, this man cannot be trusted. The revenge for killing my father is not as simple as saying it. I am afraid he has wolfish ambitions and is secretly plotting."
Guan Jianshan paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, sneering: "A loach cannot make any splash.
He is the most suitable person to catch the Li family. It can be seen that he really wants to catch those people. Let him go and wait for the right time to deal with them all at once."
Does he know about tracking the money and grain?" Guan Jianshan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Li Danian said, "We asked him about it indirectly a few days ago, but he didn't react at all. I guess Qian Zhongsheng kept it a secret and didn't even tell his own son."
On the other side, Qian Wentao returned to his room and closed the door.
There was no one else around him. His face suddenly darkened and he whispered, "Don't even think about getting your hands on anything that belongs to my Qian family!"
Two nights ago, he took some medicine and was in a half-sleep, and he overheard the low voices of Li Danian and Zhao Gen who were facing away from him.
Through the intermittent and fragmentary conversation between Zhao and Li, he discovered the existence of the Qian family's money and grain, and that they were looking for them.
Originally, he couldn't understand why Guan Jianshan and the others were so determined to capture Xia Qingyue and the others, but after hearing the conversation, he suddenly understood.
On the day he got into trouble, the Qian family's money and food somehow fell into the hands of Xia Qingyue and others, so Guan Jianshan and others were in a hurry to find someone.
Qian Wentao clenched his hands, his eyes grim, "Dad, wait until I get the money and food back and gather those refugees back, then I will avenge you and take back everything!"
After resting for half a month, Qian Wentao's body recovered almost completely. At the same time, relying on the portrait, Guan Jianshan sent refugees out to look for people and got clues about Zhou Maolin's family.
So Qian Wentao took a group of people to arrest the people.
The clues and information were reliable, and they captured Zhou Maolin's entire family and brought them back. After severe torture, they pinpointed the area where the Fang family was active.
Qian Wentao took people to that area to search.
That day, early in the morning, Qian Wentao took his men out. Halfway through the journey, he felt the urge to urinate, so he stopped and went into the woods to urinate.
The yellow liquid flowed down and poured onto the roots of the trees.
rustling—
The grass leaves rubbed against each other making a slight crisp sound.
A head with a woman's bun was moving slowly in the grass diagonally in front of me.
He shook it off, pulled up his trousers, and slowly approached with the knife in hand.
There are more men than women in the village. If we can capture a woman and bring her back, we will be able to bring them closer together and gain more trust.
Qian Wentao was blocking the end where the woman was moving. When he saw someone coming, he swung the big knife in his hand forward and pressed it against the other person's neck.
"Stand up now and don't resist!"
Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, and choked up as she shouted, "Brother, is it really you?"
Clang.
The big knife fell to the ground.
Qian Wentao was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "Yu Rou, sister!"
"Brother!" Qian Yurou ran forward and hugged him with her arms.
"Brother, Dad has been captured by the bad guys, we have to find a way to rescue him!"
Qian Yurou let go of her hand and cried, looking up at her brother.
Qian Wentao stared at his sister in a daze, his eyes passing over her eyebrows, smooth and delicate face, small nose, and cherry lips one by one.
I don't think I've ever taken a serious look at her before. It turns out that his sister is so beautiful and tender. Compared with the women in the village, she is simply as beautiful as a fairy.
