"What's going on?" Grandma Fang didn't care about the danger and rushed into the mud pit to find her husband.

Grandpa Fang's face turned pale. He clutched his ankle and said in pain, "I sprained it."

Grandma Fang first punched Grandpa Fang twice, then said with a choked voice, "You think you're so clever? You're not satisfied with suffering once or twice? You're always so eager to show off. Don't you see all those young people? Do they need an old man like you to steal the spotlight?"

Grandpa Fang also felt heartbroken, but what could he do since it had already happened?

"I'll change later, okay?"

Aunt Fang was in despair: "How many times have you said this? Have you ever done it even once?"

Grandpa Fang lowered his head and remained silent.

Seeing this, Aunt Fang reached out to pull him. But the old man was quite heavy, and she couldn't move him.

"You sit here, I'll go find someone to help."

After Aunt Fang finished speaking, she went to ask a few girls for help. Qiao Gaiqin and the others didn't want to, but they went anyway out of politeness.

After trying several times without success, Wen Bingxue said, "Why don't we find a man to carry it?"

Qiao Gaiqin nodded: "That's the only way."

The two men found a kind-looking young man and said many nice things to him before he agreed to carry the old man back here.

Qiao Gaiqin outwardly expressed gratitude, but inwardly she was annoyed by Grandpa Fang's meddling. "That's right," she thought, "if you're so capable, then mind your own business. If you're not, then stay put. Why are you causing trouble and making us clean up your mess?"

A group of people sat in the rain for a long time, but seeing that the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping, they were cold and hungry and could no longer bear it.

"No, no, if I get soaked any more, I'm going to freeze to death," Gong Mengjiao said.

Qiao Gaiqin, Wen Bingxue, and Zhao Huixian were also trembling all over. The men sitting together started sneezing, and after a brief discussion, they decided to go and check out Big Beard's territory.

"Let's find a place to hide on the very edge; that should keep us away from those murderers, right?"

"Who knows? But we don't have any other choice. If I get soaked any longer, I'm afraid I'll get a fever."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! Achoo, it's so cold!"

After discussing their plan, the group headed towards the bearded man's territory. Before leaving, they glanced at the three men on the ground, saw they were unconscious, and then ignored them.

Grandpa Fang wanted to go too, but his feet hurt and he couldn't walk. Grandma Fang begged for a long time, but no one was willing to help. After all, it was far away, and walking there would take several hours. Carrying someone on your back would be too tiring.

"You go with them, I... I'll stay here," Grandpa Fang nudged Grandma Fang.

Aunt Fang wiped away her tears: "I'm just an old woman destined to be disliked. I'll stay here and keep you company."

"You'll catch a cold if you stay here."

"So what? Does that mean we won't get wet in the rain? They haven't even done any on-site research. They just heard a couple of words from Qiao An and assumed they could find a place to shelter from the rain." Aunt Fang sighed, "Old man, if only that girl Qiao An were here."

"Yes, that girl is kind-hearted and has a way." Grandpa Fang held his wife's hand, feeling even more guilty.

Qiao Gaiqin followed the group for several hours before finally reaching the area of ​​partially collapsed buildings. They were all thrilled to see the houses with roofs.

"Quick, quick, get inside! The rain outside is really heavy."

A crowd jostled and pushed their way toward the house. They discovered, however, that it was already occupied.

The two groups looked at each other, and Qiao Gaiqin took the initiative to step forward and negotiate: "Excuse me, may we take shelter here from the rain?"

The other person was wary. After glancing at the newcomers, they shook their head and said, "There are too many of you. This place can't accommodate you all. You should find somewhere else."

Qiao Gaiqin felt wronged; they had walked for several hours in the rain to get here.

"Really not? We won't cause trouble!"

The other party remained unmoved: "We only have 20 or 30 square meters here, while you have over a hundred people, right? Go look somewhere else. There are plenty of houses here. There's no need to keep targeting us."

Qiao Gaiqin and her group were exhausted and hungry, and really didn't want to have a direct confrontation with the other party, so they could only nod and leave.

"It's alright, there are plenty of houses here, let's look around some more."

Qiao Gaiqin nodded: "Alright, we'll just have to go further in."

The group trudged heavily into the ruins. Although the area was partially collapsed, it was not easy to find a large, sturdy building that could also provide shelter from the rain, as many houses had lost their roofs or their roofs had collapsed at an angle.

Finally, Qiao Gaiqin spotted a flat-roofed house. She excitedly grabbed Wen Bingxue's hand: "There, there we can take shelter from the rain."

Wen Bingxue nodded: "Let's go up and take a look!"

The men following behind them were also excited, but seeing the two girls gesturing wildly, they let them pass first.

Qiao Gaiqin pulled Wen Bingxue along, jogging forward. Gong Mengjiao and Zhao Huixian, too tired, followed slowly behind.

What should have been a joyous occasion turned into a nightmare when Qiao Gaiqin saw the scene on the floor the moment she entered the house, and she couldn't help but scream.

"Ah!!!" The sound was sharp and thin, piercing through the rain and reaching everyone's ears.

Wen Bingxue was so frightened that she fainted and fell to the ground with a thud.

Those behind rushed forward upon seeing this. They were all disturbed by the bloody scene inside.

"My God, this is what the bearded man was talking about... It's disgusting!"

"No, look at that person, the blood is still bright red, so he has only been dead for a short time."

"Who do you think did this? Who is so heartless and cruel?"

"We couldn't escape Big Beard's henchmen either way. Their behavior was utterly depraved! Looking back now, Big Beard's initial suggestion was just an attempt to drag us into hell!"

"That Che Cunzhou isn't a good person either, otherwise he wouldn't have been bewitched by that bearded man. Luckily we met that Rakshasa, otherwise... I really can't imagine what it would be like if I became a demon."

"So what do we do now, bury them?"

"Bury it my ass! What if those cannibals find out? Won't they come after us? And if you destroy their food, won't they use you as a scapegoat?"

"But this woman is so pitiful, isn't she?"

"What can we do? It's just bad luck for her."

"Alright, that's enough. Let's get out of here. If those people catch us, none of us will be in good shape."

"I know, everyone be careful and try not to make any noise."

Although the men were terrified, they were still stronger than the girls. They grabbed one of them with each hand and pulled out the pale-faced Qiao Gaiqin and Wen Bingxue.

As for Gong Mengjiao and Zhao Huixian, they walked behind and didn't dare to go in to join the fun after hearing the screams.

Hearing others recount the horrific scenes inside the house, both of them felt a sense of relief. Otherwise, they might have been among the many who fainted.

The group retreated a considerable distance, somewhat bewildered.
