After I was reborn, I was ruined, and the gods actually knelt down on the spot.

Chapter 24 Everything is connected

"How many are?"

Shen's father and mother were working outside. Shen Yubai looked calm, but in fact he was just a half-year-old boy. When he saw several fierce-looking people coming to the house, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, but he pretended to be calm on his face.

The visitors in front of them were villagers dressed up by Mr. Li's men. The leader looked ordinary, but he had a mean look on his face and was not easy to mess with.

The two people following him were tall and dark-skinned. They looked menacing and were also difficult to provoke.

"He's the drug-selling boy the drug store owner mentioned!"

The tall and thin man standing in the middle pointed at Shen Yubai angrily.

Shen Yubai was just a thin young man in front of these people. He covered up the panic on his face and said calmly: "What do you do for me?"

The man in the middle angrily yelled: "Damn it, you black-hearted medicine supplier, my mother took the medicine you provided and died of poison. You must give us an explanation!"

The two big men beside the man who was speaking bitterly were also looking at him eagerly, blocking the door with an intimidating posture.

"How is this possible!" When Shen Yubai heard that someone had taken medicine and died, it was of great importance, so he naturally denied it firmly.

All the medicinal materials provided by their family were sold to the drug store after he carefully inspected them. How could something go wrong after taking them?

"You still dare to quibble, but the drug store owner bought all the medicinal materials you provided in one go. My mother just took this medicine and will die with her eyes open!!"

"It's impossible. Let's go find the drug store owner and ask for details."

The boy calmed himself down and made a quick decision.

It was also the first time for Shen Yubai to face such a thing, involving a human life, so he was naturally panicked.

If he had observed these three people carefully in the past, he would have discovered that they were no ordinary villagers at all, especially the one who claimed to be a dead mother. There was no sadness at all on his face, only the calculation after the plan succeeded.

When she went to the medicine shop and confronted the boss, Shen Yubai grabbed a handful of medicinal materials sold from their house, her palms trembling uncontrollably.

These medicinal materials are indeed adulterated and can kill someone if they are not careful.

"Thankfully I trust you so much. I didn't expect you to want to harm me with fake medicine."

The drug store owner was also very angry. He saw that the medicinal materials Shen Yubai brought at the beginning were of good quality and that the young man had a sincere attitude. After receiving the remaining batch of medicinal materials, he put them into the warehouse without anyone carefully inspecting them.

Shen Yubai couldn't argue.

His eyes suddenly fell on Shen Yuexi who was coming with him behind him. In the blink of an eye, Shen Yubai connected everything together.

A conclusion jumped out in his mind.

"Shen Yuexi, how could I have such a vicious sister like you!"

The words came out, hitting the heart of Shen Yuexi who was at a loss.

At the same time, there was a crisp and loud slap that landed on Shen Yuexi's face.

This was the first time Shen Yubai made a move against Shen Yuexi.

Shen Yuexi covered her face, the tip of her nose was sore, and looked at Shen Yubai with confused and helpless eyes, "Brother?"

"Let me tell you, where did you get the money to buy the candy? It turns out you changed the medicinal ingredients! Do you have to kill your whole family to be willing to do it?"

"I didn't, brother, I don't know what you are talking about, sugar man, dressing change, I really haven't done any of this."

Shen Yuexi defended herself aggrievedly. She didn't understand how these unfounded things could be blamed on her.

"It wasn't you, could it be that it was your parents who did it?"

Shen Yuexi subconsciously looked at Shen Yuerong beside her.

The young man was even more annoyed by her look and sneered: "You don't want to put the blame on Yue Rong, do you? Yue Rong wants to eat candy as much as you do, but she is sensible and knows the situation at home, but what about you? ? What good things have you done!"

Sometimes the most hurtful thing is not the physical pain, but the misunderstanding from the loved ones.Xiao Yuexi felt that her brother's words were like a dull knife, piercing into her heart one at a time, stirring the flesh and blood inside, and slowly pulling it out.

"Brother, I didn't..." She opened her mouth to defend herself weakly, but no sound came out of her throat, as if she was choked by something.

This scene was so heart-wrenching that even some monks who were accustomed to the coldness and warmth of human relationships couldn't help but be moved by it.

Several condemning glances fell on Shen Yubai.

Shen Yubai had never felt so ashamed as at this moment.

"I, my conclusion at that time was indeed too arbitrary." His lips trembled and he smiled bitterly.

"Actually, Senior Brother Shen is not to blame for this incident. Shen Yuerong was really too cunning. She first subtracted the medicinal materials Shen Yuexi gave to Senior Brother, and then deliberately said in front of Senior Brother that Shen Yuexi wanted to eat candy. Senior Brother Shen was only half a teenager at that time. How could you imagine that you are being set up by your trusted sister?"

"Yes, actually speaking carefully, Brother Shen can be considered a victim."

"Who would have thought that Shen Yuerong would be so scheming?"

Everyone's condemnation of Shen Yuerong could not change the established facts, and the young man Shen Yubai in the light curtain would not understand Xiao Yuexi's grievances, and could only scold him with cold words.

"You can't deny your crime now, right? You killed my mother and you must give me an explanation!"

The bitter man seized the opportunity and immediately spoke out.

He offered sky-high compensation as soon as he came up. How could Shen Yubai pay so much money?

"No money? If you don't have money, then arrest the three of them. My mother can't die in vain!"

As soon as the snarky man opened his mouth, the two men next to him who were eyeing him eagerly started to arrest him.

The people around him sympathized with the bitter man and condemned Shen Yubai's family for being evil, so naturally they couldn't help him.

The three of them were arrested and imprisoned in the woodshed.

No matter how much Shen Yubai complained about injustice, no one paid any attention.

"Brother, Yuerong is scared."

Shen Yuerong pretended to be afraid, pulling on Shen Yubai's sleeves and trembling.

"Don't be afraid, Yuerong. Brother will find a way."

Shen Yubai gently hugged Shen Yuerong and coaxed softly.

Xiao Yuexi huddled aside, not saying a word from beginning to end, but quietly looking at Shen Yuerong and Shen Yubai with envious eyes.

At this time, it was getting dark, and the guards outside temporarily left.

Only then did Shen Yuexi start to take action.

"What else do you want to do!"

Shen Yubai was extremely disgusted with Shen Yuexi at this time. As soon as he saw her actions, he felt that she wanted to do something bad, and guarded Shen Yuerong vigilantly.

Shen Yuexi lowered his eyes hurtly.

She pursed her lips to hide the loneliness in her brows and eyes, "I just want to try to see if I can find a way to escape."

Shen Yubai dismissed it and didn't think Shen Yuexi could have any ideas.

After checking around the cramped woodshed, the only entrance and exit was the locked door of the woodshed.

Shen Yuexi grabbed it and pushed it hard a few times, but the door barely moved at all.

She then started to kick her with her feet and pry with firewood, which was a lot of trouble.
