"What's wrong?"
Gao Li suddenly burst in all flustered, making Li Qing nervous as well.
"The old Shepherd was beaten by people from Hengqu Village, and his head is all bloodied," Gao Li exclaimed urgently.
Li Qing furrowed his brow, "You should have rushed to find Tang Jianmin, what use is there in telling me?"
"The village chief is already on his way there, he asked me to come and let you know," Gao Li explained, "From what he said, it seems you do business with some folks from Hengqu Village and there are some ties, maybe you could help mediate or something."
"Qingzi, you should go check it out quickly," Han Mei said, "The old Shepherd is all alone, without anyone to rely on; help him as much as you can. A frayed rope tends to snap at its thinnest part; misfortune always seeks out those already suffering. The old Shepherd's life was already hard enough, why would someone beat him up like this out of the blue!"
