Chapter 248: A Cripple

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After making all the arrangements, Su Li planned to make a trip to the neighboring village. She still had to find a more skilled person to make toys. It was definitely impossible to rely on them alone.

The distance between the two villages was not far, so Su Li did not choose to take the ox cart. Instead, she walked over.

After entering the village, Su Li began to inquire about Liu Kui’s residence. When the villagers heard that Su Li was here to look for Liu Kui, they thought that she was here to look for him to get furniture. They sighed.

Seeing this, Su Li felt a little strange and asked, “Auntie, what’s wrong? Liu Kui doesn’t make furniture anymore?”

The woman sighed and said, “It’s not that he doesn’t want to make anymore. It’s just that he can’t make them anymore. The last time he went up the mountain to cut wood, when the tree fell, it hit him. The doctor came over and said that he won’t be able to get out of bed for the rest of his life. He’s equivalent to a cripple!”

“Speaking of which, he’s really unlucky. He had clearly predicted the direction of the tree’s fall and even hid at a high place. Who knew that the moment the tree fell, his feet slipped and he fell directly? Then, he happened to be pressed down by the tree.”

Some people said that Liu Kui must have encountered a ghost. There were so many people at that time, but Liu Kui was the only one who was unlucky. Moreover, he was clearly fine, so how did he fall?

Su Li was speechless.

It had to be said that Liu Kui was really unlucky. He had almost lost his life on the road previously. It had only been a short while, but he had been injured by a tree again!

She had originally wanted to poach him over to do manual labor for her, but she did not expect her thoughts to die just like that.

The villager continued, “How pitiful. His wife ran away with her child. He’s the only one at home with an old mother. How are they going to live in the future?!”

Liu Kui was usually a good person, so the villagers had a good impression of him. Now that he was injured, everyone sympathized with him.

Su Li thought for a moment and decided to visit him. Since she was already here, it was not appropriate not to take a look.

“Auntie, do you know where Liu Kui’s house is? I want to visit him.”

The woman said, “Why wouldn’t I know? If you want to go, I’ll bring you there.”

Su Li thanked the woman. “Thank you!”

The woman waved her hand. “There’s no need to thank me! We’re all from the same village.”

The woman brought Su Li towards Liu Kui’s house. Along the way, she even told Su Li a lot about Liu Kui. She even felt indignant for Liu Kui.

“Do you think his wife has a conscience? In the past, when he could earn money, he gave all the money in the family to her for safekeeping. Now that he’s down, his heartless wife has taken everything in the family away!”

“Do you think such a person will be struck by lightning in the future and die a horrible death? When she dies, she won’t be able to reincarnate and can only be a lonely ghost.” novelbuddy. com

“Bah, b*tch, she deserves to go to the eighteenth level of hell!”

Su Li was almost deafened by the woman’s loud voice.

It was a little inappropriate to run away with the money. Even if she felt that there was no hope in the future and really did not want to stay with him anymore. At the very least, he should leave the money for him to treat his illness. The fact that she ran away with all the money, she should indeed be struck by lightning.

The woman led Su Li to a brick house. She pointed at the house and said, “This is the place!”

Liu Kui’s house was a brick house. With his carpentry skills, he could be considered to be living quite well in the area.

“Auntie, are you home?” The woman shouted into the house.

“…” No one responded to the woman.

Su Li said, “Don’t tell me they’re all out?”

The woman shook her head and said, “That’s impossible. Liu Kui is already in such a state. Where else can he go? He must still be at home. Let’s go in and take a look.”

The door to Liu Kui’s house was open. The woman pulled Su Li in.

The woman walked towards Liu Kui’s room as if she was familiar with him.

When Liu Kui heard the voice, he turned around and looked in their direction.

When the woman saw Liu Kui, she said, “Liu Kui, you’re home. Why didn’t you say anything when we called you just now?”

Liu Kui’s face was a little pale, and his expression was full of decadence. “I didn’t hear it!”

Actually, he just didn’t want to agree. Why would these people come? They were just here to mock him!

The woman pointed at Su Li and said, “Someone came to see you, so I brought her over.”

Liu Kui did not say anything. He only glanced at Su Li before closing his eyes again.

The woman was a little embarrassed. Su Li had already come to see her. Couldn’t he at least say a few words?

The woman had other things to do and did not want to stay here any longer. She said to Su Li, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first!”

Su Li nodded. “Auntie, take care.”

The woman patted Su Li’s hand. “Come to Auntie’s house to visit when you’re free!”

“Alright!” Su Li nodded in agreement.

After the woman left, only Su Li and Liu Kui were left in the room.

Neither of them spoke. Su Li first glanced at the room. This place was a good place for the morning sun to ventilate and was very suitable for patients to live in. The room was also very clean and did not smell of urine. Liu Kui must have been taken good care of.

Seeing that Su Li did not move, Liu Kui could not help but look in her direction.

Su Li sensed Liu Kui’s scrutiny. She first brought a stool over and sat beside Liu Kui’s bed. She said, “Master Liu, long time no see. I wonder if you still remember me?”

Liu Kui looked at Su Li’s bright face and said palely, “Of course I remember. If not for you, I probably wouldn’t be alive.”

He would probably never forget what happened that day for the rest of his life. However, he might have to go back on his promise to Su Li!

Liu Kui smiled bitterly and said, “I’m really sorry. I might not be able to do what I promised previously. I’m a cripple now. I don’t even have the ability to take care of myself!”

At that time, he had promised Su Li that he would help her build a set of furniture for free in the future. Although Su Li said that there was no need to give her a discount, he thought that if Su Li looked for him, he would definitely not take a single cent.

If not for Su Li’s kindness that day, he would have directly reported to the King of Hell. As a person, he had to know how to repay kindness.

Su Li didn’t expect him to still be planning this. She said, “There’s no hurry. The most important thing now is for you to recuperate first.”

When Liu Kui heard her words, his smile became even more bitter. “I might not be able to recover anymore!!”

The doctor said that he was useless for the rest of his life. If he could get good treatment, he might have a chance to sit up. If he could not get good treatment, he could only lie in bed for the rest of his life.

If his wife had not taken all the money away, he would still have a chance of survival. Now that he did not even have the money to take medicine, how could he have the extra money to hire a doctor?

Su Li thought for a moment and said, “If you trust me, why don’t you let me take a look? I might not be able to treat you, but it will reduce your pain. It will definitely make you feel better than now..”
