Chapter 11: The Evidence
Jin Weiwei soon becomes happy and thinks,”Troubles turn to you now, Butcher Feng!”
“Are you sure?”She catches the one who comes.
If it is true, then she can be sure that the plague of her sheepfold must be the trouble made by Feng Butcher.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“I……, I’m not sure, so I come to invite doctor Jia to make it clear.”
“Doctor Jia, be quick please! Bother you again!” Jin Weiwei hurriedly takes doctor Jia to butcher Feng’s house.
As soon as they arrive at Feng’s house, they hear the screaming of Li. And Feng’s house has already be surrounded by a large number of people.
“Make way and let doctor Jia in!”
The cool hand screams at the top of his voice. The crowd is obediently divided and doctor Jia comes in.
“Doctor Jia, please help us to see whether Feng’s sheep have a plague?” The village head’s knitted brows indicate the serious situation.
Jin Weiwei takes a closer look and finds the green vomit is everywhere in the sheepfold. Two sheep have collapsed in the corner.
Doctor Jia looks at the sick sheep without saying a word, and takes out a piece of white cloth from the medicine chest to cover his mouth and nose.
His behavior makes people alert and all back off.
Doctor Jia walks closer to the vomit and picks a little to observe. Then he runs to the corner and opens the sick sheep’s eyes. Later, he catches a seemingly healthy sheep to observe for a while.
“Is it plague, doctor Jia?” Weiwei urges him.
From the color, smell of vomit and symptoms of the sick sheep, Weiwei knows that the illness of Feng’s sheep is the same as hers. Therefore, she can firmly conclude that it must be Butcher Feng who brought the plague into her sheepfold!
This fat old guy is extremely abominable. She must give him a lesson today, otherwise, she is not Jin Weiwei.
Doctor Jia’s face is grave. He has not spoken yet, Butcher Feng pulls him and says, “Doctor Jia, you must be tired to be here on such a hot day. The sheepfold is dirty to stay, let’s go inside and discuss. Sweetheart, Prepare water for doctor Jia and the village head.”
Li soon gets the intention of Feng. She goes to prepare water and disperse the crowd at once.
AS the village head is old, he is already tired after standing for a while. What’s more, he doesn’t want to stay in the dirty sheepfold. So, he nods his head and walks to the house.
Feeling helpless, though Weiwei is worried, she still walks to Feng’s house with little Rich. However, Feng and doctor Jia walk behind the people.
Suddenly, doctor Jia loudly shouts, “I can’t accept the money!”
People turn their heads and find Feng is trying to give a silver ingot to doctor Jia.
“Well, how dare you bribe before people, Butcher Feng!” JIn Weiwei soon gets Feng’s intention.
But doctor Jia is a good man who is not only skillful in medicine, but also honest in manner. He refuses Feng before people and makes Feng’s behavior unveiled.
Feng is stunned. Facing the doubtful eyesight from the public, he shakes his head and hurriedly denies, “No, I just paid doctor Jia the attendance fee, attendance fee!”
Jin Weiwei sneers and asks, “Attendance fee? Uncle Feng, you are really wealthy, aren’t you? It seems to me that your high attendance fee as one silver ingot just indicates your unkind thought. You intend to hide the truth by money, right?”
“What are you talking about? I said that it was attendance fee, attendance fee!”
While Feng still wants to argue for himself, doctor Jia no longer wants to keep entangling with him. He throws away Feng’s hand with a hum and strides forward to the room.
As soon as people take their seats, Jia announces, “It is plague!”
Only four simple words immediately announce the death penalty of all Feng’s sheep. Feng and his wife go deathly pale.
“Doctor Jia, make sure please. How could our sheep suffer from plague without any symptom? Is there some other illness that has similar symptoms? Make sure please……” Feng piteously entreats doctor Jia.
“There is no doubt that it is plague!” Doctor Jia answers without hesitation, “but there is still one thing unclear: why these sheep suffer from plague at the same time? By rights, the disease should originate from one sheep. That is to say, there should be one or two sheep that were first infected by the plague, and their vomit before death is the route of transmission of the disease.”
Since villagers all have the experience of raising sheep, they suddenly know what doctor Jia means.
The village head changes his attitude and seriously asks, “Feng! Tell us the truth! Do your sheep have plague a long time ago? Why do you hide it?”
Feng trembles with fear. His legs give out and he collapses. Now the plague of sheep is an irreversible truth, and if the village head is sure of his hiding the truth, the Feng’s Meat Shop should be closed forever.
Feng is a seemingly strong but actually cowardly person. However, his wife Li is a strong-willed woman. She suddenly jumps up and shouts like a shrew.
“Village head, how could you secure our conviction without any evidence!”
There is no time for you to explain. Jin Weiwei squints her eyes and intends to overbeat her flame, however, little Rich suddenly catches her sleeve.
He glances at Jin Weiwei in a different way with profound meaning and motions her to look out into the corner of the yard.
What does little Rich want to do?
Jin Weiwei is confused and subconsciously follows the eyesight of little Rich. She notices a yellow dog is scratching the ground desperately in the corner of the yard.
Why does the yellow dog scratch the ground? At this critical moment, it is time to deal with Feng, OK? How could he has leisure to watch the dog digging the ground!
Jin Weiwei rolls her eyes to little Rich and says, “Play with yourself.”
“It’s evidence.” Little Rich pushes her again and speaks to her lightly.
Evidence? !
Rich’s words are like the star in the dark sky which suddenly reminds Weiwei of a key point: the yellow dog may dig the first sick sheep.
That’s right!
If Feng wants to hide the truth, then he won’t let others know his sheep dead. Therefore, he can only bury the sheep in his courtyard. Though he believes that no one will realize the truth, a few days passed and the smell of dead sheep still comes from the ground and attracts the yellow dog’s attention.
“I have evidence!” Jin Weiwei shouts at once and interrupts Li’s screaming.
“Tricky girl, what evidence do you have? If you can’t show us today, I must teach you a lesson!” Li angrily says.
“I never tell a lie. Follow me.” Jin Weiwei calmly stands up and says, “Little Rich, take a hoe.”
People are all confused and follow her to the corner of the courtyard. Feng is frightened when he notices the yellow dog who is digging the ground.
The place the mangy dog digs is where he buried the dead sheep.
He kicks off the yellow dog, standing on the place it digs and pretends nothing has happened. “What do you want to do here, girl?”
Jin Weiwei sneers and says, “Feng, it is useless for you to fake innocence now. Since you damage my sheep, I won’t give you a chance to turn the table.”
Jin Weiwei points at the ground where Feng stands and says,”Little Rich, dig right here. Be careful. Evidence is right below! “
