"It's strange, why is there a noise in this house?" Members of the security team organized by the village suddenly heard a noise when they were patrolling this dilapidated house, and they walked in curiously.
Suddenly he stepped on a branch, which startled He Gang and the others in the house. They climbed over the wall and left.
The security team only saw the wine bowl in the room, and the bowl seemed to be still hot. Could it be that someone had just left?
This is unbelievable! There are people here, and they don’t even know about it!
He rummaged around inside again, and in the dim light of the lantern, he actually saw a lot of hemp ropes and rags.
"No, I have to tell the head of the village, Gu, about this right away."
The security team left in a hurry. He Gang and his companions, who were hiding in the dark, were discovered and were furious.
Damn Xie Yunjiao, she caused so many troubles and even set up a security team, causing people to come here and ruin his good deeds.
"Boss, what should we do? Our lair has been discovered."
"Let's do something big tomorrow. Capture that woman Xie Yunjiao and take her to a brothel." He Gang almost bit his silver teeth to pieces.
His words were naturally agreed by many of his younger brothers.
Village Chief Gu and other members of the security team rushed to the abandoned house overnight. When they saw the hemp rope and wine bowl in the house, their faces froze.
"Village head, report to the authorities tomorrow."
If those people were just brutal villains, they would not be able to fight them.
Gu Lichang nodded and said, "Everyone, be careful. We still don't know what's going on, and we don't know whether these people are from our village or from other villages.
Anyway, be careful about everything."
Gu Lichang thought for a moment and said, "Also, be careful when you're on patrol. If you can't fight, run away. Don't get entangled."
Village Chief Gu had the abandoned house sealed off and had people guarding the door.
But they are not professionals after all, and they don’t even know that the person has disappeared long ago.
Village Chief Gu went to look for Xie Yunjiao early in the morning, but learned that Xie Yunjiao had something to do yesterday and stayed in town all day and did not come back.
He was anxious and wanted to go to the town to discuss with Xie Yunjiao, but he was afraid that something might happen if he was not in the village, so he finally chose to stay in the village.
He didn't know when it started, but whenever he had something to do, he would think of Xie Yunjiao, always feeling that Xie Yunjiao could help him solve all his problems.
When the couple who had lost their child heard that the abandoned house had been found, they cried and shouted that they wanted to go in and look for their child.
Everyone told them that there was no one inside, but they didn't believe it and insisted on going in to look for it.
Village Chief Gu had no choice but to let them go in and look for it.
After they entered, they searched the house almost thoroughly, but they didn't find the person. However, they actually found the child's shoes.
"My Goudan, these shoes are made by your mother. There wasn't enough cloth, so I put some flowered fabric in them... Your shoes are here, but where are you? Goudan..."
The child's mother held her shoes and cried.
The villagers thought that since this had happened, the child must be in great danger.
But everyone saw that she was crying so pitifully but it was difficult to say anything to provoke her.
"Why are you still crying? At least there's still one shoe left. Hurry up and take the shoe to the child's cenotaph. Otherwise, the child will become a wandering ghost, which would be terrible."
Fan appeared out of nowhere, saying words of sympathy, but couldn't hide the gloating on her face.
"If you don't speak, no one will say you are dumb." Village Chief Gu said angrily.
This Fan is really annoying. Her big mouth is always there to help with everything.
Old man Gu was extremely ill and had been lying in bed unable to get out of bed. She was not at home to take care of him but was out causing trouble all day long.
It's really annoying.
"Gu Ju, I'm your seventh aunt after all, your elder. How can you treat your elders like this? Be careful or you'll be struck by lightning!"
As Fan spoke, she spitted on Gu Lichang's face.
Gu Lichang's face darkened and he raised his hand to wipe his face.
"As the village head, I declare that anyone who dares to gossip in the village and speaks without restraint will be locked up in the ancestral hall's woodshed and will not be released until they realize their mistakes."
Fan was scared. Being locked up in the woodshed of the ancestral hall was so terrifying.
Although the ancestral hall has now become a Mengguan, the woodshed has always been the place where criminals in the village were dealt with. Many people have died there, and the most evil things happened there.
So even when the ancestral hall was being renovated, no one dared to touch the woodshed.
She doesn't want to get into trouble.
Even if there is nothing wrong with the person staying inside, he might be scared to death.
"Are you going to continue talking nonsense?" Village Chief Gu looked at Fan.
Fan snorted coldly: "I have never seen a village head like you who would meddle in such trivial matters."
"You can try and see if I will intervene." Village Chief Gu said unhappily.
Fan was helpless, but she didn't want to leave because the show was not over yet.
***
On the way back, Xie Yunjiao suddenly heard a child crying. If it was an adult, it would be fine, but when she heard it was a child, her heart couldn't help but soften.
She stopped the carriage, got out and walked towards the direction of the crying.
He Gang and his men had been lying in ambush nearby. Seeing Xie Yunjiao approaching, they couldn't help but raise their lips and said, "Little girl."
Although Xie Yunjiao is very opinionated and manages Hexi Village in a vigorous and efficient manner, she is still as soft-hearted as a little girl at the critical moment.
You came here just because you heard a child crying. Isn't this just coming here to die in vain?
Xie Yunjiao was halfway there when she suddenly stopped and said, "Let's go back."
The driver looked at Xie Yunjiao in confusion. Didn't he just say he was going to go down and see the crying child? He hadn't even seen her yet, and he was leaving already?
"hurry up."
Xie Yunjiao quickly jumped into the car and asked the driver to drive.
When He Gang saw Xie Yunjiao get into the car and leave, he couldn't help but get anxious and jumped out from the bushes.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and chase after him."
He Gang and his group chased after them.
At the beginning, the carriage was much faster than the people, and it seemed that they were about to lose them. He Gang gritted his teeth, took out the dagger in his hand and threw it at the horse's leg.
The horse's leg was injured and the whole carriage overturned.
The driver was thrown out and hit his head against a tree, fainting.
He Gang and his companions excitedly walked towards the overturned carriage, lifted the curtain and tried to get in to grab Xie Yunjiao out.
At this moment, a cold light flashed before their eyes, and a dagger stabbed straight at them.
He Gang grabbed one of his younger brothers and blocked him in front of him. With a "swish", the dagger pierced the younger brother's chest.
He Gang also saw Xie Yunjiao. She had a head injury and blood was flowing down her forehead, blurring one of her eyes.
He Gang didn't expect that Xie Yunjiao, even in this state, could still use a dagger to hurt his little brother.
Xie Yunjiao wanted to pull out the dagger, but it was deeply embedded in the man's flesh. She had no strength left and could only tightly grasp the few silver needles in her left hand, thinking that if He Gang and his men got closer, she would reward them with a silver needle each.
