Chapter 454 Everyone has their own agenda
There was a small window on the wall, which happened to shine light on his face. No wonder it was so dazzling just now. Si Chengyi used all his strength to move his body to the side.
As soon as I moved, my whole body felt like it was crushed. I was in so much pain that I broke out in a cold sweat. In the end, I gave up the idea. Si Chengren, you son of a bitch, you will not die a horrible death.
The moment Si Chengyi woke up, he thought of what happened before. That was his own elder brother, but he wanted to kill him just to pocket the money. He was so good to him in vain. He told that bastard that he must not let him see Si Chengren again, otherwise he would eat him alive.
It was Si Chengyi's bad luck that he fell from such a high cliff. He was first caught on a branch and then fell into a small river. He was washed far away along the river and could not be seen from the cliff, so Si Chengren determined that he was dead.
There are fish in the stream, and there are several small villages below the cliff. Many people would catch a few fish to satisfy their hunger when they have nothing to do. Si Chengyi, who was washed down by the water, reached the shore at some point.
The villagers saw that he was dressed in extraordinary clothes, sniffed his breath and found that he was not dead yet, so they quickly ran to inform the village chief. The village chief was a snobbish man, and when he heard that he might be a rich man's son, he immediately organized several villagers to carry him back to his home.
And she was arranged to be the main wife, not for any other reason, just to leave a good impression on the rich boy. If the rich boy was a grateful person, it would be even better if he repaid the kindness with a spring. Unfortunately, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
He lay in bed for three days without waking up. The doctor said that he might have become mentally disabled after falling from such a high place.
Hearing this, the village chief immediately frowned and moved him from the main room to the utility room. He asked his son to feed him something to eat and drink every day and then ignored him. Unexpectedly, he woke up again.
Hearing Si Chengyi's shout, the village chief ran over immediately. When he opened the door, he saw that he was awake, and his brows were immediately filled with joy.
"Young master, you're awake! You didn't even know you've been sleeping for several days. The doctor said you're seriously injured. Don't move and take good care of yourself." The village chief was not tall, and looked to be about 40 years old. He had a mustache and a pair of small eyes that rolled around. He didn't look like a good person at first glance.
"Where are you from, sir? How did you fall from such a high place for no reason?" The village chief was polite at first, then looked at Si Chengyi's expression carefully.
After falling from such a high place, Si Chengyi's mind became smarter. He didn't rush to answer him: "Did you save me? Thank you so much. When I return home, I will ask my servants to send you a generous gift."
After Si Chengyi said this, he fell into a deep sleep. No matter how the village chief called him, he still slept soundly.
Just go to sleep. Thinking of what Si Chengyi said before, the village chief was immediately delighted. He must serve him well. Maybe he will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future.
At that moment, Si Chengyi returned to the main room. When he woke up again, he found that his clothes had been changed and there was a soft mattress under him.
The original adobe house was changed into a blue brick and tile house. He remembered everything that happened in that small dark room clearly, so he naturally knew that this was the change made by the village chief specially for him.
The village chief is no simple person at first glance, and who knows what little calculations he has in mind. Okay, since you are taking advantage of me, let's wait and see.
Si Chengyi's brain is indeed working much better than before, and it may be that under certain circumstances, people will unleash potential that was not originally obvious.
If he had been so wary of Si Chengren before, how could he have fallen into his trap? Now he is injured. Si Chengren, just wait. When I have the ability, I will find you and we will continue our old relationship.
Knowing that Si Chengyi was a rich young man, the village chief brought out all the delicious food and drinks in the house and used the whole family's strength to serve him well.
Si Chengyi was originally the young master of a marquis's mansion. He had learned all kinds of etiquette since he was a child. He was afraid that the village chief would question him, so he behaved politely everywhere. It was obvious at first glance that he was different from these native rural people.
The village chief further confirmed Si Chengyi's statement. The two of them had their own ulterior motives, and more than ten days passed in peace. Si Chengyi was able to get out of bed and walk, but one of his legs was severely injured and he could only walk with a cane.
"It's good to be young, sir. Your health recovers very quickly." The village chief said with a smile, stroking his short beard.
"All this is thanks to the village chief. I will never forget your life-saving grace. When I return to the Marquis' Mansion, my father will thank you very much." Si Chengyi walked slowly in the yard, leaning on the crutch that the village chief found for him.
The warm morning sun shone on his body. Even though he still felt a lot of pain, Si Chengyi felt much happier. As long as he could get out of bed and walk, returning to the Marquis' Mansion would be just around the corner.
It was impossible for him to go find Si Chengren after being injured for so many days. Firstly, he didn't know where he had gone, and secondly, he had no money on him and could not move, so he could only return to the Marquis' Mansion.
In fact, returning to the Marquis' Mansion is not the best choice, but he has nowhere to go. If he returns to the Marquis' Mansion, even if Si Wei Zhong blames him, can he still kill him?
At most he would be scolded or beaten. Now he is hundreds of miles away from the capital.
As for the travel expenses, Si Chengyi slowly looked at the village chief at the door. As the head of the village, his house could be said to be one of the best in the village.
Naturally, he should have a lot of money in his hands. If we promise him some benefits, it should not be difficult to borrow some money from him.
"What's the point of saying thank you or not? You were washed all the way from the cliff by the water and landed in our village. That means you have a connection with our village. Saving you is just a piece of cake."
The village chief greeted him politely, his small eyes rolling around shrewdly.
"May I ask why you fell off the cliff?"
"Well, it was our bad luck that we encountered robbers on the way, and they took away all the thousands of taels of silver we had.
The robbers still didn't let us go and wanted to kill us all. We had no choice but to jump off the cliff. There was still a glimmer of hope for our survival, otherwise we would surely die." Si Chengyi said what he had thought of in his mind.
When he heard about several thousand taels of silver, the village chief's pupils shrank and his mouth opened slightly, but he quickly reacted and coughed lightly.
"What about your family? Did they fall off the cliff with you?"
"Yes, my brother, three servants and I fell off the cliff together, just to hope for a chance of survival. May I ask, Village Chief, have you ever seen them?"
Si Chengyi's words sounded very real, and his face looked lonely and a little sad, as if he was missing his loved ones.
