The old woman held her grandson in her arms with tears in her eyes, staring at Su Qi motionlessly. With endless hatred in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and said angrily, "The hatred of killing my son is irreconcilable."
Su Qi stepped forward and kicked him.
"What were you thinking when your son killed me? Did you think you could live a good life after getting the bounty?" Su Qi sneered, stepped forward and kicked the old woman again, causing her to spit blood.
"grandmother."
The little boy who was held in the old woman's arms hurried forward.
But he was hugged tightly by his mother.
"Mrs. Gu, I'm sorry. We are ungrateful. If my husband and my parents-in-law hadn't been so greedy for money, this wouldn't have happened."
The young woman knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. She had been trying to persuade them but no one listened to her.
"He saw a few strangers enter the village and go to the clan leader's house."
The old man stepped forward and punched his daughter-in-law several times. "Shut up, you spendthrift bitch! Your husband died and you didn't follow him, yet you still dare to speak ill of him here."
The little boy who had earlier called his grandmother got angry at the old man again.
"Don't hit my mother, or I'll beat you." The little boy hugged his mother again.
Like a hedgehog with all its thorns erected.
"Mother is right. You didn't listen to me. You said there was a fifty-liang reward."
Su Qi felt annoyed when he heard this.
He kicked the old man several more times.
He only stopped kicking when he was sweating.
I hate people who sell their conscience for a few taels of silver the most.
The old man and the old woman hugged each other and cried bitterly, shouting incoherently. Su Qi listened and started to speak again.
Gu Beiheng went to the kitchen and got a rope.
Tie up the old man and the old woman.
He looked at the children who wanted to plead for mercy and said, "They will be left to you Tangjiazhuang people to judge."
The young woman moved her mouth and finally held her child in her arms. She knew that they might no longer be able to survive in the village.
Even if the villagers don't speak.
They also couldn't face the villagers whose family members had died.
The villagers probably wanted to drink their blood to vent their anger.
Su Qi's cold eyes swept across the corpses on the ground with anger. She thought about it and kicked them a few more times. "Skeletal things."
Several children lay on the ground and dared not speak.
I can only let Su Qi vent his anger.
Gu Beiheng carried the old man and his wife in his left and right hands and walked out of the fenced yard. He waved to a place not far away and said, "Come here, both of you. Take these two people to the Tang Family Ancestral Hall."
Su Qi walked to the door and took one last look at the young woman and the children. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but this was the path they should accept.
There was no way she would let them stay here just because she felt sorry for them.
The woman behind him burst into tears. "What will I do next? Where can I live?"
Several children burst into tears.
Su Qi walked out of the fenced yard, and Gu Beiheng was standing by the road waiting for her. "Qiqi, follow me. Or wait for Bai Zhi to come over before we act alone."
"Okay." Su Qi didn't say much.
It was really thrilling just now.
The two men did not go to rescue people, but began to check whether there was anyone left here.
The first place to be checked was the home of Patriarch Tang.
When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they found something wrong.
The yard was littered with tilted chairs and tables, as well as scattered vegetables and other things.
The strange thing is that Su Qi didn't see anyone.
"Come in."
Su Qi looked at Gu Beiheng, took his left hand and walked into the yard.
Gu Beiheng moved his ears and then walked quickly into the house.
The furniture in the house was reduced to lumps.
Lying in the middle was a man in his fifties, breathing only weakly.
Su Qi walked up to take a look and was shocked to see that this guy was going to die soon.
Gu Beiheng's cold eyes flashed across his face, and the man struggled to open his weak eyes. He saw a familiar figure and smiled.
"Forgive me." After saying this, he closed his eyes.
Leaving behind Gu Beiheng and Su Qi confused.
"Forgive him for what?"
Gu Beiheng was even more confused. "How should I know? It's just a nonsense."
When he saw that the man was dead, he went to the inner room.
Patriarch Tang and his wife fell in a pool of blood, their eyes wide open in horror, as if they had witnessed something horrific.
Gu Beiheng sighed, "What a sin."
Not seeing anyone else, Su Qi thought for a moment and said, "The others should be hiding in the cellar. They just didn't have time to go down there."
Upon hearing this, Gu Beiheng moved Patriarch Tang's body away and found a wooden box under the bed.
He pushed open the wooden box, revealing a hole wide enough for one person to enter and exit. "Come out. I'm Gu Beiheng from Mengjiazhuang."
There was a rustling sound coming from inside.
Then a head popped up and Gu Beiheng dragged the man out.
He stepped out and stood with Su Qi, "You guys go out and pack up first and go to Tangjiazhuang to rescue people. We can talk about other things later."
After saying this.
Gu Beiheng and Su Qi turned and left.
Tangjiazhuang was illuminated by the fire as if it were daytime, and the fire alarmed the people in Mingfeng Town.
Mingfeng Town is in the east and its terrain is much lower than that of several villages in Tangjiazhuang.
Looking to the west, the flames rising into the sky are really scary.
Everyone in Mingfeng Town was awakened, as they were supposed to be on guard on New Year's Eve.
As I was dozing off, I suddenly saw a flame shooting up into the sky.
The news spread like a flying kite.
The runners of the town government were also on vacation at home. Someone saw the fire and rushed to the homes of several colleagues nearby.
Several people discussed it together.
Ride the horse towards Tangjiazhuang.
The boats were still docked at the pier, and the people on board were looking at the fire in the distance with their glasses in hand. A thoughtful expression appeared on their faces. "This is our people taking action."
"Should we send someone over?"
The man who had spoken earlier stared at the house on the dock in silence, then twitched his lips slightly and said, "No need. We have our own things to do. Let's wait a moment."
"Boss, there are only a few insignificant people on the dock. Is it worth it for us to wait here?" said the man in the lake blue brocade robe unconvinced.
Logically speaking, the mob at the dock could be defeated by just his men.
"You don't understand. These people were able to take over the docks with a small force after the snowstorm, and they definitely had someone backing them."
"I'll go down and make arrangements first."
"Go ahead."
Here in Tangjiazhuang.
Gu Beiheng took Su Qi for a walk around the outskirts of the village, then he looked towards Mingfeng Town in the distance. He felt as if an invisible hand was plotting something.
"Qiqi. Let's go back to the Tang Family Ancestral Hall."
"Any clues?" Su Qi couldn't help but ask when she saw Gu Beiheng's gloomy expression.
"The clues Yingyi left behind are that he went into the woods. It's enough for them to track him down. We also need someone from Mengjiazhuang. I'm afraid someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble."
Su Qi was shocked and worried about the children.
"We should let Dabao and the others go to the cellar."
"It's okay. Zeng Wuming is very quick-witted. Let's go to the Tangjiazhuang Ancestral Hall to check on the injured."
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng came to the Tangjiazhuang Ancestral Hall.
Ke Suanzi and Yun Xiaobo are treating the injured.
Gu Beijing, Gu Beiting and a dozen or so medicine boys were helping out, and some of them were directly lighting the fire to boil the medicine.
Someone was helping to bandage the wound.
Several people suffered serious burns.
Su Qi walked over and took a look, and knew that these people could not be saved.
Even in modern times, it is impossible to save a person whose skin is burned to 80%-90%.
Those people stared at the sky breathlessly, their throats unable to speak. They stared straight at the people beside them, hoping that someone would help them finish it.
An elder from Tangjiazhuang came over.
With tears in his eyes, he asked, "Anyone help me?"
Su Qi said nothing and walked to the other side with Gu Beiheng. She was not willing to help. Let's leave this matter to the people in Tangjiazhuang.
The Tang clan elder called out several times, but found no one answered him. He turned to Gu Beiheng tremblingly, "Master Gu."
Su Qi sneered, "We don't get involved in your Tangjiazhuang affairs. Just now, someone wanted to kill me."
