“Ugh…Ugh…”
A bloody man was lying on the ground vomiting violently.
Then one bloody man after another crawled out from the pile of blood and bones.
Without exception, they all collapsed on the ground and vomited uncontrollably.
If the bloody man is not Lu Zhe or Lu Xiao, then who else could it be?
Unexpectedly, the refugees' scramble for their supplies saved Mrs. Lu and her children and grandchildren from disaster.
Young and old, all escaped being torn to pieces by the rats.
It just looks a little messy and scary. After all, no one can calmly accept a person covered in blood in broad daylight!
"Cough cough... Ugh, so many bloody and broken corpses. Big brother and third brother, let's leave quickly!" Old Madam Lu felt nauseous whenever she saw the bloody and broken corpses.
Not only was it unpleasant to look at, but the air was also filled with the smell of blood. If it hadn't been neutralized by the burnt smell, she would have vomited bile.
It's so terrible. They were not eaten by the rats. It was really a blessing from the Buddha.
Old Madam Lu brought her children and grandchildren to kowtow three times to heaven devoutly. After kowtows, the old woman yelled that she wanted to leave.
Lu Xiao was blinded by a strong light. He opened his eyes with difficulty and found that the light was projected from the Blood and Bone Mountain.
He came closer out of curiosity, pushed aside the bloody bones, and revealed a corner of yellow. Lu Xiao shouted with joy, "It's gold! I found a gold ingot."
Lu Xiao wiped the blood off the gold. The gold weighed five taels, which could be exchanged for a lot of silver.
Lu Xiao's surprised cry attracted Lu Zhe and other members of the Lu family to rush over. After confirming that it was gold, they happily peeled off the blood and bones.
Silver, silver hairpins, gold hairpins, jade jewelry, etc. were also found. Lu Xiao held the "trophies" in his hands and danced with joy.
"That's great! With so much money, I can find a place to stay, buy some deeds to houses, land, and shops, and then I'll be Mr. Lu, the Third Master, whom everyone will flatter and curry favor with."
It is true that there is always a way out. Now that he has been separated from the exile group, he can go wherever he wants. From now on, he is a free man.
With money, he can transform himself into a powerful and influential nobleman who is flattered by others.
Lu Zhe smiled and said in a low voice: "Third brother, look at your lack of ability. There are still so many things here that have not been searched. Why don't you help search together?"
After Lu Zhe finished speaking, he stuffed a stack of banknotes under his feet, and then patiently fiddled with each broken body.
"ah……"
While Lu Xiao was searching for the body, a rat suddenly jumped out and bit his finger.
The mouse's eyes were red and it attacked Lu Xiao like crazy. Lu Xiao couldn't resist and his hands were bitten in several places.
Fortunately, Lu Zhe solved the problem and drove away the rat.
Lu Xiao's right hand looked like it was bitten very badly, with the flesh torn off in several places and turned inside out. The wound seemed to be faintly black, and the blood that flowed out seemed brown.
Lu Xiao only had money in his eyes and didn't care about the painful bite wound.
Half an hour later, all the bodies had been "searched" and everyone gathered together to count the spoils.
They washed the silver, gold, jewelry and jade with water, and after counting them, they jumped for joy.
Lu Xiao ignored the pain and kissed Jin Yin excitedly.
"Fifty ounces of gold, three hundred and seventy-eight ounces of silver, five thousand eight hundred ounces of silver notes, and some gold and silver jewelry. Here's a house deed and a land deed. Once things are settled, these properties will be ours."
"That's right, let Lu Changgong and his family go to Lingnan to suffer!" Lu Zhe suddenly cursed angrily.
Lu Xiao even sneered, "Whether you can make it to Lingnan alive is still a question."
Mrs. Lu's wrinkled face looked much thinner now.
The old lady said contemptuously: "Well, it's better not to talk about those who are insignificant! This is a good break. They can't take away our prosperous days."
"Mother is right." Lu Xiao quickly agreed with a playful smile at Madam Lu.
Chen Chunhua pursed his lips in disdain, then walked away from the "stench of money" with a condescending attitude.
Madam Lu coughed lightly and said, "Leave fifty taels of silver to your two families, and leave the rest to me for safekeeping. If I don't keep it for you, this little bit of silver won't be enough for you to spend."
As soon as Mrs. Lu said this, the expressions of Mr. and Mrs. Lu Zhe and Mr. and Mrs. Lu Xiao suddenly turned gloomy. They hung their heads and handed over the silver reluctantly.
When he got to Lu Xiao, Lu Xiao took an extra 100 taels of silver, and when Lu Zhe made trouble, he handed over 50 taels of silver.
He smiled and pulled the old lady's sleeve and said sophistry: "Mother, my elder brother and I, and I have a wife and children to support."
"Fifty taels is not enough. My elder brother and I will each give you one hundred taels. You, old man, will give me more than one hundred taels of change. The bulk of it will be given to you for safekeeping."
Anyway, he always has a way to attribute it to himself. Instead of putting it on Boss Lu, it is better to put it on the old lady, which will be convenient for him and he can slowly take it for himself.
Mrs. Lu was generous and didn't say anything else.
She just happened to glance at his exposed wound and said, "Xiao'er, why is the wound on the back of your hand black? And your fingers seem to be black too. Are you okay?"
Lu Xiao, whose only concern was the money, shook his head indifferently, "Mother, don't worry, it might have been contaminated by ashes, just wash it off."
In this case, Mrs. Lu did not take it seriously. The Lu family walked for a long distance before they stopped a carriage.
Lu Xiao bought the carriage in a rough and simple way, angrily throwing out two hundred taels of silver notes to force the carriage to be taken away.
*
Su Sijin and Lu Changgong followed the marks left by Lu Changji and quickly found everyone.
During this period, many rats that had escaped the net were killed on the road. Su Sijin did not use a big fire to burn them, but used the simplest corpse-dissolving water. After dropping a few drops, they disappeared without a trace.
Lu Changgong looked at her meaningfully with his deep eyes and said lightly, "You have so many magical weapons."
When Su Sijin heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then shrugged indifferently.
The gasoline has been exposed. She had so many flaws before. Just because Lu Changgong didn't ask doesn't mean he didn't know.
This person...may have provided her with a lot of protection invisibly.
"The appearance of rats is strange. Be careful and take precautions. Everyone should disinfect thoroughly. Not only should you fumigate your clothes with mugwort, but you should also boil water with atractylodes and drink it for seven consecutive days."
She decided to use spiritual spring water to boil the Atractylodes lancea. If one person got sick, their entire group would be wiped out.
"There's another more serious question. Anyone who's been bitten or scratched by a rat must tell me about it. I'll take a look. You can't keep it a secret or hide it."
Su Sijin glanced at everyone, but no one stood up.
With a cold face, she pointed at five people and said, "You five, come out now."
Tang Peng glared at them, and the five people stood up obediently.
"Where are you injured? I want to see the wound." Su Sijin went straight to the point.
"I...I...didn't...didn't..." One person dodged and stammered without finishing a sentence.
"You have severe chest pain right now, have just coughed up blood, have a low-grade fever, and are slightly short of breath."
Every time Su Sijin spoke, the five of them unconsciously touched the corresponding parts of their bodies.
Then he looked at Su Sijin in horror, fearfully revealing his injured body parts.
