Start a mysterious island

Chapter 303: Sympathy for the weak is human nature (two chapters in one)

Because of the sudden brake of the carriage, Lin Li, who was sitting on the carriage, leaned forward. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed the protruding handrails in the carriage to stabilize his body and avoid falling.

Then, he heard the driver's voice muttering to himself, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

Lin Li got out of the car filled with cold air and said to the driver who was confused and confused, "Don't be stunned. Go and see how the person you hit is doing!"

"Ah, yes, yes, I should go see how he is doing..." The pale coachman was reminded by Lin Li and immediately came to his senses. Then he jumped off the carriage and hurried towards the man whom he was driving in the distance. The person who was knocked away ran over.

And just when he was about to check the physical condition of the passerby who was knocked away, five strong and sturdy men wearing linen shirts immediately ran out from the crowd of onlookers on the roadside.

The leading burly man was 1.9 meters tall, with strong muscles and a beard.

When the panicked coachman was about to step forward to see the physical condition of the man who was knocked away, the leading man with a beard jumped on the motionless passerby who fell to the ground, with a look on his face. cried out in grief.

"Lao Liu, please don't let anything happen to you! If something happens to you, how will I explain it to your mother?"

The driver, who looked panicked, was stopped by four other burly men. He could only look at the passers-by who were lying motionless on the ground from a distance and were knocked away by the horses.

"Brother, please see if Old Six is ​​still angry?" One of the four burly men who separated the coachman was bald, he reminded.

The bearded man heard the reminder from the bald boy, and then he belatedly began to check the physical condition of the boy who was hit.

After an inspection, the bearded man breathed a sigh of relief, turned to his younger brothers and said, "Fortunately, the sixth child is still alive. We have to send him to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible."

"Great, the sixth brother is still alive." The four younger brothers of the bearded man showed excited expressions on their faces when they heard that their companion was still alive. Then they all turned their heads and looked at the panicked coachman with angry faces. .

"How do you drive?"

"Don't you know there are many people on the street?"

"You rushed out of the alley and didn't even look to see if there was anyone in front of you?"

"Fortunately, my brother is lucky, otherwise, you wouldn't have killed him on the spot."

The four burly men were talking to each other, questioning the panic-stricken coachman.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." the pale coachman apologized in a panic.

He was just an honest farmer before. He had never encountered such a situation before. At this moment, he had no idea how to deal with it and could only keep apologizing.

"If an apology is useful, why do we need the Yamen? Come with us to the Yamen and let the Yamen handle this incident."

As the four burly men spoke, they stepped forward and surrounded the panicked coachman, as if they were going to take him to the Yamen.

When the coachman heard that these people were taking him to the Yamen, he wanted to say not to take him to the Yamen, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say it.

After all, it was the carriage he drove that hit the other party. It is reasonable for these people to want to take him to the Yamen now.

But after going to the Yamen, he will definitely be put in a cell.

Go to jail! This was like a bolt from the blue to this coachman, who not long ago was just an ordinary person working hard in the fields.

Just when the rickety-looking coachman was filled with despair, the bearded man stood up and spoke to stop his four younger brothers.

"Okay, stop talking. I think he didn't mean it..."

When the coachman heard what the bearded man said, his eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, I didn't mean it..."

"Brother, although he didn't mean it, it's still his fault that he injured Lao Liu. Even if we don't take him to the Yamen, he must pay for Lao Liu's treatment!" said a burly man.

Before the bearded man could speak, the coachman who seized the opportunity quickly said, "This is my fault. I must pay for the treatment."

When the bearded man heard that the coachman said that he would pay for the treatment, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and then he pretended to be magnanimous and said to the coachman.

"Okay, since you know you were wrong and are willing to pay for the treatment, we won't take you to the Yamen. This is a private matter."

"Thank you, thank you." The coachman said gratefully when he heard that the bearded man was willing to go private.

"Boss, regarding the current situation of the sixth child, if he is sent to a medical center for treatment, the treatment fee will be the same amount..." A burly man raised five fingers and said.

"Fifty thousand copper coins is too much, forty-five thousand is about the same." The bearded man frowned, and then he looked at the coachman.

"Forty-five thousand copper coins, even if you sell me, I can't afford so much money!" The coachman originally thought that he would pay some treatment fees and the matter would be settled, but he just breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the treatment fee that needed to be compensated was 45,000 copper coins, which was completely beyond his imagination.

You should know that the total property of his family does not exceed 15,000 copper coins. Even if he sells iron and sells several acres of the family's thin farmland, he can barely scrape together 40,000 copper coins.

Seeing the coachman's reaction, the bearded man and his younger brothers looked at each other without leaving any trace, and communicated quickly with their eyes.

Then, the bearded man as the leader spoke to the coachman.

"My brother is very seriously injured now. If you want to find a better medical center for treatment, you will have to spend at least this money, and I already need less..."

"But I really can't afford so much treatment expenses! My family's total savings now only amount to 15,000 coppers at most. Even if we sell all the acres of Susukino fields and other valuable things at home, it will only amount to 40,000 coppers." ." The coachman said with a miserable look on his face.

When the bearded man and his little brother heard that the coachman could only take out forty thousand copper coins at most, their eyes suddenly lit up, and then they communicated with each other with their eyes without leaving any trace.

Then, the bearded man said to the coachman, "Okay! Forty thousand coppers is forty thousand coppers. We brothers will make up for the remaining five thousand coppers for you."

"I..." The coachman heard the bearded man say this. He opened his mouth and finally closed it again.

"What? I only ask you to pay 40,000 coppers, and we will make up the rest ourselves. Aren't you willing?"

"If I give you all the 40,000 coppers, my home will be gone, and my wife and children will starve to death..."

"That's not something we should consider. You can figure out how to solve the problem yourself.

After all, my brother was beaten to death by you. If you don’t raise the money for treatment, he will die..." said a burly man with a cold face.

"..." The driver was silent.

The bearded man made eye contact with his little brother again, and then he said.

"Hey, okay! I won't embarrass you anymore, and I don't want your family to starve to death just because you pay for the treatment...

How about this! Just pay us 30,000 coppers, and we'll figure out the rest ourselves.

If you still don't agree, then I can only take you to the Yamen. When you get to the Yamen, the final treatment fee you have to pay will not be 30,000 copper. "

"Don't go to the Yamen. I'll just give you 30,000 coppers." Seeing that the bearded man had lowered himself another 10,000 coppers, the coachman felt a little relieved. With the threat of going to the Yamen, he immediately agreed. .

"You two will take the sixth child to the medical center for treatment first, and I will go with this man to his house to get the money..." The bearded man said to his younger brothers, who nodded, turned around and walked towards his colleague who was lying motionless on the ground. go.

And the moment these boys turned around, the angry expressions on their faces disappeared instantly, the corners of their mouths raised, and a proud expression appeared on their faces.

The coachman, who looked defeated, looked as if he had aged several years in an instant. The bearded man following him was in a very happy mood.

When they arrived at the carriage, the driver was about to explain the situation to Lin Li and ask him to change to another carriage without charging him the fare.

Lin Li, who was standing on the carriage with his hands folded in front of him, suddenly sneered.

"Tsk...I didn't expect it! There are actually people who cheat in this world."

After saying that, he jumped down from the carriage.

"Huh?" When the coachman with a depressed look heard what Lin Li said, he was stunned for a moment, "Too porcelain?!!!"

Lin Li looked at the stunned coachman, ignored the bearded man's gloomy expression, and continued.

"Yes, it's just touching porcelain. Do you believe it? If I go over and check it now, I can make the guy who was half-dead after you hit him stand up alive and kicking immediately?"

The driver looked at Lin Li, then at the bearded man with a gloomy look behind him, then quickly came to Lin Li's side and asked nervously in a low voice, "Sir, these people are really messed up. ?"

"Yes." Lin Li nodded firmly and looked at the bearded man and the younger brothers who turned around and glared at him with disdain.

Seeing Lin Li's determination, the driver suddenly gained confidence, and then said to Lin Li, "Sir, can I trouble you and ask that person to stand up?"

Just when the coachman asked Lin Li to help him get up the man who was knocked away and lying motionless on the ground, the four boys with the beard suddenly gave up and turned to Lin Li angrily. Cursed.

"Who are you? Are you nosy?"

"Boy, there are some people you can't afford to mess with, and you can't mess with them."

"Didn't your parents teach you? Don't mind your own business when you're out."

"Get out of here quickly, or you won't get the good news."

Originally, the coachman had some doubts about what the coachman said to Lin Li, but now that he heard the bearded man scolding Lin Li with an angry face, his doubts were completely dispelled.

If these people asked the coachman to pay for the treatment at this moment, the coachman would not pay anything.

While the four boys were yelling at Lin Li, the bearded man said something bad in his heart. He looked at the change in the expression on the coachman's face and knew that things were going to be difficult to handle this time.

If there weren't so many people watching around him now, he would really want to curse his four younger brothers.

"Didn't you say that the man was seriously injured and unconscious? In that case, it doesn't matter if you let me check it. There is no need to be so angry." Lin Li smiled and said to the bearded man's four angry younger brothers.

The passers-by watching the excitement around were talking a lot and pointing at the bearded man and his group.

"I thought it was an accident! Now it looks like it might really be an accident."

The comments of passers-by reached the ears of the bearded man and his group, which made their faces become very ugly.

"Boss, what should we do now?" A strong man came to the side of the bearded man and asked in a low voice.

"What else can we do? We can only bite the bullet and let him check it out. If we don't let this nosy guy check it out now, we will be firmly suspected of being involved.

But don't worry, as long as Lao Liu pretends to be dead, the advantage is still on our side. "The bearded man responded softly.

The younger brothers were still thinking that this time the plan to touch porcelain would fail.

Now that they heard what the boss said, it seemed that the situation was not completely out of control. Their eyes suddenly lit up, so they said to Lin Li arrogantly.

"Boy, since you want to check our brother's condition, then go and check! However, if my brother is not like you said, we will not let you off lightly."

After saying that, the four extremely arrogant younger brothers clenched their fists, and a series of clicking sounds sounded.

This meaning was very obvious. If Lin Li checked later and found that the man lying on the ground was still unconscious, they would take action to teach Lin Li a lesson.

"Sir." The coachman was, after all, an honest farmer. When he saw these fierce and tough men trying to teach others a lesson, he felt timid and shouted to Lin Li in panic.

"It's okay, don't be afraid. You can't show such cowardice to these troublesome guys... because the more timid you show, the more arrogant and complacent they become."

Lin Li ignored the malicious threats from the strong men in front of him and comforted the panicked coachman with a calm expression.

The bearded man did not threaten Lin Li like his younger brother did. Hearing Lin Li's comforting words to the coachman, his gloomy eyes couldn't help but narrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"This young man is really brave! I hope he is okay."

"Oh, I'm confused. Those people are so confident. I think the outcome for this young man is going to be bad!"

"Those people are strong and strong, and their arms are thicker than the young man's thighs. If the young man does not turn out to be what he said after checking later, he will definitely get a beating, and I am afraid he will have to lie down at home. Ten days and a half month.”

It is human nature to sympathize with the weak.

In the eyes of the passers-by who were watching the excitement, Lin Li, whose figure had nothing to do with strength, was obviously on the weaker side compared to the five sturdy men, so everyone couldn't help but worry about Lin Li.
