Immediately, a villager said, "Was it that Little Dongzi had already lost consciousness when he was hanged? Otherwise, how could a child not even try to escape?"
Another villager added, "But didn't Miss Xu say there were no other injuries on Little Dongzi? How did Yan Si manage to knock Little Dongzi out?"
Xu Jing's lips curved slightly as she said, "It's simple, Yan Si and Sister-in-law Wang drugged Little Dongzi! The drug was in the wild vegetable porridge Little Dongzi ate tonight! Little Dongzi didn't argue with them tonight, nor did he run out; everything is just the lies of Yan Si and his wife!
They drugged Little Dongzi first, then hid him. I guess they hid him by the Wangzi River, making it easier for Yan Si to later tie him to the bridge.
