The sky was just beginning to brighten.
Smoke was already rising from the chimneys in Lengjiagou, and birds were chirping all around.
A burst of firecrackers startled the birds, causing them to scatter in all directions.
Leng Lie glanced at the bedroom and frowned.
Could it be that the old witch is dead?
Guan Yuxi came out wearing a coat, without even having time to tie her hair up.
Leng Lie pulled her back into the house. "It's cold outside, I'll go check on things."
The sound of firecrackers came from the brigade headquarters.
Not only does the village chief's family live in that direction, but also Leng Dachou's family.
Last night, Minister Zhao and others also stayed at the brigade headquarters.
Guan Yuxi quickly put on her sweater and followed behind him.
As the two were approaching the brigade headquarters, they ran into Aunt Du.
Her face was filled with panic as she waved frantically to Guan Yuxi and Leng Lie, "Xiao Xi, go back quickly."
Leng Lie took a long stride, completely blocking Guan Yuxi from view.
He looked ahead with a wary expression.
Aunt Du's face changed instantly, like a frightened bird.
She ran quickly behind Guan Yuxi, looked back, but there was nothing there.
"Auntie, what happened?"
Guan Yuxi held Aunt Du's cold hand and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Aunt Du patted her chest in lingering fear, "I was so scared, so scared! Xiaoxi, let me hug you."
Guan Yuxi let her hug her and gently patted her back to comfort her, "It's okay, Auntie, don't be afraid."
Leng Lie is very capable; he can protect us.
It took Aunt Du a while to recover, as if she had been completely exhausted.
"I'm fine, I was just scared."
Leng Da Chou is dead. He was stabbed so badly that his intestines spilled out, and there was blood all over the ground.
Oh my god...that really scared me to death!
Is Leng Da Chou dead?
"What about Leng Hongxing?"
Guan Yuxi nervously gripped Aunt Du.
Aunt Du then seemed to remember something, "Oh dear, look at me, I was really scared out of my wits."
Your uncle asked me to tell Leng Lie to be careful.
Leng Hongxing ran away last night!
Leng Lie and Guan Yuxi exchanged a glance, and his first reaction was also Leng Hongxing.
"Go wait for me at your aunt's house, I'll go check on things."
Leng Lie gritted his teeth and quickly made a decision.
Guan Yuxi grabbed him, "Let's go together."
Leng Lie was worried about her, but she was even more worried about Leng Lie.
Even if Leng Hongxing becomes a murderer, he won't think about killing her anytime soon.
The most dangerous situation is one of coldness and desolation!
"I'll go with you too."
Aunt Du gripped Guan Yuxi's arm tightly, "Your uncle is over there too."
Guan Yuxi nodded.
Uncle Leng Qingshu has been elected as the new village chief.
With something this big happening, he definitely needs to be there.
The Leng family is in complete chaos.
His parents wanted to bring their son home so that his body could be laid to rest and his funeral held in their main room.
So that he doesn't become a wandering ghost.
His brother and sister-in-law, however, believed that the resentment of those who died unjustly would bring misfortune to the family.
So the family blocked the path in front of their house and kept arguing.
It's all your fault!
"If it weren't for you, my son wouldn't have died!"
As soon as Leng Da Chou's mother saw Leng Lie, she rushed over, but was grabbed by the arms by two militiamen.
Leng Lie shielded Guan Yuxi behind him, his beast-like, cold and savage gaze suppressing the old lady's anger, making her not dare to move an inch.
Let's go!
He protected Guan Yuxi and Aunt Du until they left.
Leng Da Chou's mother burst into tears again.
She plopped down on the ground and cried bitterly, completely losing the assertive manner she had displayed when confronting her son and daughter-in-law.
The onlookers watched as Qu Lenglie and Guan Yuxi left.
They had a feeling that Leng Lie, this rough and tough man, seemed different from before.
From now on, I will be different from them.
"Sigh, he's a pitiful person too."
Aunt Du also wiped away her tears.
Leng Lie snorted coldly, but before he could speak, Guan Yuxi pinched him.
Guan Yuxi glared at him.
Leng Lie scratched her palm, his expression softening.
Upon arriving at the brigade headquarters, Minister Zhao greeted the two men:
"Leng Hongxing killed the person; he fled last night."
Preliminary investigation suggests it was a revenge killing...
Oh, by the way, Leng Hongxing's stepmother, Bai Mei, also ran away.
Guan Yuxi understood.
She said, no matter how shameless that old hag is, she wouldn't actually sleep with her own son...
Let's think about Bai Mei and Leng Hongxing's situation again.
It's an absolutely mind-blowing family drama!
"Sigh, his two girls are so pitiful."
Guan Yuxi sighed.
Leng Lie shook her hand and followed Minister Zhao.
Today was his first day at work, and he had no choice but to take responsibility for what happened.
When passing by the village chief's house.
From a great distance, the old witch's cursing of Bai Mei could be heard.
The cries of the two little girls searching for their mother were heart-wrenching.
Village Chief Leng sat blankly on the threshold.
On a freezing day, he was wearing only a thin undershirt, staring blankly at his two daughters.
"Sister, where did my mom go?"
"Sister, I'm so scared. Brother said he's going to beat us to death."
The twin girls rushed over and hugged Guan Yuxi's legs, their tears and snot covering her.
The old hag glared maliciously at her two granddaughters.
"Your mother is a slut, and you two are sluts too!"
Those sluts deserve to die! That shameless bitch actually seduced my grandson to kill her lover.
My grandson has committed a capital crime and must pay with his life! You all deserve to die too!
She was disheveled, and she came over, grabbed her granddaughter, and started hitting her.
