Chapter 107 Let this girl accompany me tonight
"That's right, uncle, we are officials." Liuzi explained loudly.
A very low voice came from the room, "That's right, didn't Boss Hu say that he would take Xue Ni'er to the village in a few days?"
I don’t know if others heard this, but Li Mumu heard it.
Boss Hu is the bandit leader of the Black Wind Village, which is dozens of miles away.
As for Xue Ni'er, Li Mumu felt a pain in her heart when she heard it.
When the exile team arrived here, several members of the Gu family had already died, and the rest were injured, disabled, or sick.
Coupled with the freezing cold weather, the Gu family was having a miserable time.
After losing her daughter and son in succession, Mrs. Gu was devastated, and coupled with the bullying of the Li family, she had become crazy by the time she got here.
The yamen runners were exhausted both physically and mentally after experiencing the avalanche. When they saw an inhabited village, they brought the prisoners there to rest.
Xue Nier appeared at this time. Seeing that Old Madam Gu was incontinent and not only had no one to take care of her but was also beaten, she felt sorry for her and took off her clothes and gave them to her.
But she turned around and jumped into the well.
The reason was that she was favored by Boss Hu from the Black Wind Village, who wanted to take her into the village as his ninth concubine. Xue Nier refused, but could not escape, so she finally chose to end her life.
She was just an ordinary person, and her death caused no ripples except for the splash in the well. However, her death also angered Boss Hu, and he slaughtered the entire village in a rage.
As for the exile team, because Lin Siyan suddenly had a stomachache and there was no doctor here, the Li family had a good relationship with the yamen runners at that time, so for the safety of her and her child, they left early.
Afterwards, everyone was relieved that they had escaped danger.
It was said that the baby in Lin Siyan's belly sensed danger and gave everyone a hint, so she was called a lucky bag.
Li Mumu found it ridiculous that the lives of dozens of people in a village were used to fulfill the blessing of an unborn baby.
Fortunately, we arrived here a few days earlier than planned, so everything is still in time.
Dingyang County is located in a remote area with high mountains and far away emperor. The magistrate of Dingyang County bullies men and women and plunders the people's wealth, making the people miserable.
On the other hand, he also colluded with bandits and was able to get money given by the court to control bandits.
As for the massacre of the village, the Dingyang County Magistrate turned a blind eye and went back to complain to his superiors, saying that the fundamental reason for the rampant bandits was that the people were poor, had suffered disasters, and were forced to move to the mountains.
But he pocketed all the money and property from the hair.
Li Mumu couldn't help but think that if the Dingyang County Magistrate were to do business, he would definitely make a fortune. This business would benefit both sides.
Luo Geng's impatient urging interrupted Li Mumu's thoughts.
"Open the door quickly, I'm freezing to death."
A skinny old man saw that Luo Geng was angry, so he hurried out to open the door. Because he was in a hurry, his foot slipped. If Li Yunye had not been quick to stop him, he would have fallen.
"Sir, there really is nothing left. Didn't you collect the peace money yesterday?"
"What's the matter with peace money or not?" Luo Geng shuddered, then pushed the old man away and rushed into the house first.
Liuzi supported the old man and realized that he had mistaken him. "Uncle, we are escorting prisoners here from Shangjing City. It's dark and snowing heavily. We want to stay here for one night. We don't have any other intentions. Did you mistake me for someone else?"
The old man calmed himself down. He had just seen a few people in front of him wearing officials' uniforms, but ordinary people were naturally afraid of officials.
Even if it was a yamen runner, he would be afraid and naturally would not dare to say no.
Besides, can this be done without permission?
He trembled and quickly made way for everyone to come in. His eyes swept over the prisoners behind the yamen runners, his face bitter and without much expression.
After all the prisoners came in, he closed the door and followed the yamen runners into the house.
Luo Geng and others saw the old couple's only daughter, Tian Xueni'er, at a glance. If she wasn't pretty, she wouldn't have been favored by Boss Hu.
Luo Geng smacked his lips, "How old are you?"
Tian Xueni is a person of strong character, otherwise she would not have died to prove her loyalty. "I'll go boil some water."
She found an excuse and left the main room. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the prisoners standing in the yard, covered in snow.
She sighed and opened the door of the woodshed. "It's a small place, so you guys just have to squeeze in together."
She is indeed a kind girl, but unfortunately good people are not rewarded. Li Mumu was also discovered by her because he looked at her a few more times.
Li Mumu smiled at her openly. Although Tian Xueni also smiled, her smile was full of bitterness.
"So small...Ah..." Tian Xueni sighed deeply.
I don’t know if it’s for Li Mumu or for myself.
"Are you cold? Come in with me and warm yourself by the fire!" Tian Xueni said.
In fact, Li Mumu was not cold at all, but her face was a little red from the wind. She was wearing a thick cotton jacket, and there were also hot packs and hot water bottles inside.
This hot water bottle is made of cowhide. Every member of the Gu family has one. Fill it with hot water and put it in your arms to keep you warm for most of the day.
Li Mumu did not refuse her kindness and followed her in.
Tian Xueni doesn't talk much, maybe because she is not familiar with Li Mumu, but this is her greatest kindness.
After the water boiled, Li Mumu followed Tian Xueni to the main room.
Luo Geng saw Tian Xueni's eyes light up, and took advantage of her pouring water to make some advances on her, "If you stay with me tonight, I will definitely benefit from you."
Tian Xueni dodged, but somehow the kettle fell over and the boiled water spilled all over Luo Geng.
The thick cotton pants absorbed all the water, and the heat made him jump up and down like a funny monkey.
Old Man Tian and his wife hurried forward to help, but were kicked away by Luo Geng. Then, without caring about the people around, he quickly took off his pants, leaving only a pair of underwear.
But even so, his thigh was burned.
"You dare to hurt the police? Don't you want to die?"
The old couple of the Tian family were so scared that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Everyone was watching. It was obvious that Luo Geng was unreasonable and distorted the facts. The kettle was placed on the table and was accidentally knocked over by Luo Geng himself.
But no one spoke for them except Liuzi. However, Liuzi only said two sentences before Luo Geng ordered his men to carry him out.
"If you don't want to die, that's fine. Let this girl accompany me tonight."
Tian Xueni bit her lip, her eyes filled with resentment.
Old Man Tian was so frightened that he kept kowtowing, "Sir, this is impossible. You don't know that Xue Ni'er has been chosen by Boss Hu. He will come to pick her up in three days. If he knew that Xue Ni followed you, everyone in our village would be buried with her."
"Boss Hu? What Boss Hu?"
Old Man Tian trembled all over just talking about Boss Hu, and he gritted his teeth and told Luo Geng about Boss Hu's past deeds of burning, killing, looting and all kinds of evil.
Luo Geng cleared his throat. A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, especially since he was just a yamen runner.
But at this moment, Li Mumu suddenly said, "What boss? He's definitely not as powerful as Uncle Luo."
