Chapter 131 Continuous Troubles (1/2)

In the lobby of the county, the atmosphere was terrible and chilling.

The officer wanted Zhang Erlin to know the difficulty and retreat. However, this farmer still wanted to sue Yan Xiaopeng. He was angry and glanced at him.

The officer claimed that as a governor, he needed to be responsible for all the civilians, including Zhang Erlin. Yan Xiaopeng was also a person under his jurisdiction. He must be fair.

He did not listen to Zhang Erlin's remarks at all and asserted that there were many beautiful women around Yan Xiaopeng. All of them were fascinating and attractive. They were better than a village woman. There should not be such a thing.

Needless to say, if there was something like this, Mrs. Zhou must tempt him. She was dead for her own reason and it was nothing to do with Yan Xiaopeng. Zhang Erlin slandered a gentleman. It would be better for him not to be punished. How could he entangle with the governor? He shouted at him to get outside and warned him not to contempt good persons.

Zhang Erlin was full of grief and anger. He had no fear. He would not give up before he reached his goal. He was still talking about Yan Xiaopeng's crimes. This vicious bully not only killed Mrs. Zhou, but he had also persecuted uncountable people. He hoped that the officer could arrest the murderer and kill him for people.

The officer was angry and shouted, ”Be quiet. How dare you shout in the lobby? You such a bad person. How dare you stir up the court?! You insist to slander a gentleman. You must be a village coward. How can I let go of you? I have to punish you. Come on, give him 20 planks!”

Zhang Erlin did not succeed his sue, but had been beaten. He was angry and hateful. He deeply agreed with Mr. Wang's words. This officer was collided with Yan Xiaopeng and ignored the laws.

He was so painful and frowned to stare at him, adding some anger towards the officer in his misery.

The officer looked at Zhang Erlin and sneered. He asked, ”You such a stupid guy, will you still sue master Yan? It will be fine if you end your sue. Otherwise, I will punish you severely!”

Zhang Erlin was a straight and stubborn man. He was trying to revenge his wife and had no scruples for the indignation in his mind.

He endured the pain and stared at the corrupted officer with anger. He insisted to sue Yan Xiaopeng to the end. Since he could not succeed here, he would go to the province government. He not only would sue Yan Xiaopeng, but also would sue the officer in this county for covering the murderer.

The officer was angry and shouted, ”You such an unruly person, how dare you sue me? Come one, beat him 30 sticks more. And then, take him to do some servant jobs. Hum, let's see how can you go to sue me?”

Zhang Erlin was beaten and fleshy. He was bleeding. He was sick before. Now, his illness degenerated for the anger.

In the past few days, he lay on the bed and could not get up. After more than 10 days, he left the three young kids and passed away.

Little Yunyan lost her parents, so she had to live up with her brother Yuntian and sister Yunxia. Under the help of the villagers, they did not starve to death.

The neighbor Li Gousheng cared the three kids and gave them the warmth of family.

Li Gousheng had two children. The elder one was a boy, who was one-year-old elder than Zhang Yuntian, named Li Youchuan; the younger girl named Li Youyuan, who was at the same age of Yunyan.

Li Gousheng lived up for fishing and would naturally like fishing boats, so he named his kid ”Youchuan”.

When he had a daughter, the little swallows under the eaves also came out and they kept calling, which gave this family blessing. Then, they named their daughter Youyan.

Li Youchuan and his sister were good friends with Zhang Yuntian and his sisters. Now, they became even more inseparable.

When their mother was forced to death by Yan Xiaopeng, Zhang Yunyan was still young, listening to the discourse of her father and villagers, so she remembered the hatred clearly. Then, her father died, which aggravated the hatred in her mind.

She swore she must kill Yan Xiaopeng to avenge her parents.

After Zhang Erlin's death, the three little brother and sisters lived together and struggled. They would burst into tears when thinking of the death of their parents.

Only three young kids were left in this good family. What should they do later on?

Fortunately, with the care of the villagers, the three little kids survived.

One day, Little Yunyan played outside the village with her sister Yunxia.

Here the green grass was everywhere, the flowers were blooming, and beautiful butterflies flew around.

What was more playful was that the stones on the grassland were different. Kids in the village often came there to play. They climbed up and down, having a good time.

There was a big and most special stone. It was round without any angle. There was a big hole on the other side. The edge of the hole seemed to be a big nose of an elephant, so it was called Elephant Stone.

Children often drilled under the ”Elephant Nose” and had fun.

Little Yunyan and her sister were playing there. Suddenly, they saw a hare on the grass and sneaked towards it.

The hare was very clever and ran away.

Yunyan hoped to catch this hare, so they could have a good meal. She asked her sister to wait there. Finding that the hare ran away, she came after it at once.

Little Yunyan went into the woods to follow it closely. She ran for it for a long time, but still not catched it up. She still ran after it.

She saw the hare drilling into the small hole beside the mound. She was very happy. She folded a thin bamboo branch and reached into the hole to force the hare to come out.

After a while, the hare did not come out. She put the bamboo branch in the hole and picked up a stone to block the hole, looking at the protective hole and smiling.

She climbed onto the big stone and took a break to think about how to catch the hare.

There was no wind in the woods. Everywhere was green and really quiet. In the silence, birds sometimes called, so as to some insects calling, which made the rich green scenery more vivid.

Little Yunyan was bent on grabbing the hare and waiting there quietly. She smiled and did not move. She seemed to think about something and mouth watered. Then, she laughed.

It turned out that she was eating the tasty hare meat in her mind. Unfortunately, it was just her illusion.

Little Yunyan was thinking about it. She suddenly heard a slight noise. She turned around and there was a hare running away from another hole.

She wiped her mouth and hurriedly chased it. After a while, it disappeared. She had nowhere to find it. Then, she gave up.

The tasty hare meat had disappeared. The illusion also disappeared. She was very annoyed and sat on the ground. Looking around, she had already run far away somehow.
