When Liu Kui rushed over, there was an unprecedented bustle in front of the clinic. It was simply swarming with people. Looking around, it seemed that the whole village had gathered here.
Liu Kui was a bit dazed. When he was just woken up, he didn't understand what was going on at first. He only heard that his son had gone crazy and had been sent to the clinic.
On his way there, Liu Kui suddenly realized something.
Wasn't Liu Yu sleeping at home? When did he run out?
Just as Liu Kui arrived, everyone turned their heads. They looked at Liu Kui while whispering to each other. Only then did Liu Kui realize that something was wrong.
He quickly pushed through the crowd, shouting his son's name as he rushed in. He saw Dr. Ji, an old doctor, holding a bundle of ropes and cooperating with Yun Fujin to tie up Liu Yu.
In addition, there were three or four men around the hospital bed, trying their best to restrain Liu Yu.
Liu Kui's blood rushed to his head. Thinking that his son was being bullied, he let out a roar.
"Let him go! What are you doing!"
The people around the bed turned their heads. Seeing Liu Kui coming, they accidentally loosened their strength a bit. Immediately, Liu Yu got up, howling as he tried to get out of the bed and run outside.
Seeing this, Yun Fujin quickly reached out his hand to hold Liu Yu down.
"What are you doing!"
Seeing Liu Yu being firmly held down by Yun Fujin, Liu Kui rushed forward and pushed Yun Fujin away with one palm.
"I should be asking you what you're doing! You bastards! You bully my son while I'm away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's faces darkened.
Couldn't Liu Kui open his eyes and see?
Liu Yu was acting like a madman now. He either tried to run outside or beat and bit people. If they didn't tie him up, Liu Yu might have already run away without a trace.
Was it more unbearable for Liu Kui to see his son tied up than to lose his son?
Dr. Ji gave Liu Kui an unhappy look and said,
"This child, Liu Yu, has been a bit stimulated and has a mental problem. We're tying him up just to prevent him from running around. If you think you can take good care of your son by yourself, then take him back. Don't disturb the villagers' sleep."
"My son has a mental problem?" Liu Kui frowned. "Nonsense! My son can't have any problems! I think it's you bunch of bitches who deliberately make things difficult for him just because he's a child!"
"We don't mean that." Yun Fujin said. "Just take a look at his current state and you'll know."
Liu Yu was crying and laughing like a madman. He was mumbling something in his mouth. Liu Kui held him down and asked,
"Son, tell me. Did they bully you?"
Liu Yu raised his head and stared blankly at Liu Kui for a while. Suddenly, he started giggling.
"Ghosts... There are all ghosts! The whole room is full of ghosts!"
As he said that, Liu Yu began to wail.
Liu Kui's eardrums hurt from the noise. He quickly tried to cover his mouth, but was bitten by Liu Yu.
"Damn it! You little bastard!" Liu Kui cursed. He quickly held down Liu Yu's shoulders and pressed him onto the bed.
Only now did he believe what Dr. Ji said about Liu Yu having a mental problem. But he thought it was because Liu Yu was scared by others.
"What ghosts? There are no ghosts in this world! I think it's you who deliberately scared him!" Liu Kui roared.
He probably forgot that he had been running around the village a couple of days ago, shouting that there were ghosts in the village. And now he wanted to shift the blame onto others. Discontent immediately appeared on everyone's faces.
"Liu Kui, you should speak with evidence!" a villager said. "We were sleeping soundly at home. Suddenly, your son started shouting outside. We all came here out of kindness to help. We haven't even blamed your son for waking us up, but you're the first one to criticize us!"
"Who would scare your son for no reason? Why don't you ask your son why he was running outside in the middle of the night?"
"It must be someone who lured him out!" Liu Kui argued unreasonably. "Otherwise, my son would be sleeping soundly at home at this time. He's just a child. How could he run outside in the middle of the night?"
As he said that, Liu Kui stared at Yun Fujin.
"Why are you here? Even if my son ran out of the house, he wouldn't pass by your house. Why are you joining in the fun? Did you lure my son out?"
Yun Fujin had known that Liu Kui was a difficult person to deal with, so he didn't want to talk to him much at first. But their open and covert struggles with Liu Kui had been going on for a long time, and some problems had better be solved as soon as possible.
Just as Yun Que'er said, they mustn't delay any longer.
So Yun Fujin spoke up. "Then you should ask your son. Liu Yu was doing something sneaky in the middle of the night. He climbed over the wall of our yard and knocked down all the saplings we planted. How do you explain this?"
Liu Kui was stunned. Did Liu Yu run out by himself? And he even went into the Yun family's yard?
Suddenly, Liu Kui understood what was going on.
It was probably because Liu Yu had quarreled with Yun Jianzhou in the afternoon. He was not convinced, so he sneaked out while everyone was sleeping. Unexpectedly, he was caught red - handed by the Yun family when he did this little thing.
Liu Kui was stunned for a while. Suddenly reacting, he immediately began to defend his son.
"My son would never do such a thing! You're just spouting nonsense. Do you have any evidence? If you can't produce any evidence, then it's slander!" Liu Kui sneered twice. "Besides, weren't the saplings your family planted in the field killed a while ago? I think you just can't catch the culprit, so you want to frame my family?"
He gave Yun Fujin a contemptuous look. "If you don't have the ability to farm, then return the land. Don't waste the village's resources!"
This Liu Kui was really quick - witted. He wanted to pin the whole thing on the Yun family with just a few words. But this time, Yun Fujin wasn't going to let him off.
He took a step forward. "Uncle Liu, you're really well - informed. Our family's land is in the most remote place. Not only do you usually not go there, but even other villagers can't see our land when they're working. Maybe many people don't even know what happened to our family. And Uncle Liu, you were clearly under investigation a few days ago, but you know everything about our family's affairs. You're really caring."
Everyone could understand what Yun Fujin meant. He was basically saying that it was also possible that Liu Yu was the one who caused trouble to the saplings in their family's field before.
Liu Kui also understood. He angrily retorted.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who would covet your lousy saplings!"
"What are you talking about?" Someone couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to retort to Liu Kui. "A few days ago, I was going to the back mountain to pick up some firewood. I saw you walking by the Yun family's field. You were mumbling that the saplings of the Yun family were of an improper origin. Aren't you just jealous?"
"Right! I think you just can't stand others' success, so you deliberately killed all their saplings!"
