Chapter 127: A Show of Power
Du Hengbai asked someone to bring over hot tea and some cakes.
Seeing her sitting there calmly, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows:
"Aren't you afraid?"
Then he gestured for her to drink tea and eat something.
"You eat people?" Lin Mo asked back. Seeing him shake his head, he chuckled:
"Since they don't eat people, what is there to be afraid of?
Even if you eat people, I'm not afraid."
After saying that, he took the pastry beside him and handed it to Xiao Liuzi, motioning him to eat some.
Seeing Xiao Liuzi hesitate and dare not take it, Lin Mo chuckled:
"Don't worry about eating it. The young master of the Du family wouldn't be so despicable as to give you drugs."
As he said that, he picked up a piece and started eating.
Xiao Liuzi felt a little uncomfortable. Seeing her pick it up and eat it, he also picked up a piece and started eating it slowly.
This woman is very interesting and generous, very different from other women.
Du Hengbai chuckled, then sat down beside him, his lips curled slightly:
"Don't worry, you're on my territory now. There's no need to drug you, right? Once you're in here, you can't leave without my permission."
After hearing this, Xiao Liuzi, who was eating pastries, froze.
What does this mean?
Xiao Liuzi subconsciously looked at Lin Mo.
"Really?" Lin Mo patted his hands that were stained with pastry crumbs, then picked up a piece of firewood as thick as a child's arm, held one end in each hand, and exerted force.
Snap!
The firewood broke into two pieces.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
The people in Dujia Village looked at Lin Mo blankly.
Such a weak woman, yet so strong!
Du Hengbai's face looked strange. Well, was he being bullied?
Shouldn't I be the one to intimidate her?
Why is it the other way around?
"The fire is almost out. We need to add more firewood." Lin Mo casually put the broken firewood into the brazier.
I looked up and saw them all staring at me with innocent looks on their faces:
"Have you never seen firewood being broken by bare hands?"
Everyone in Dujia Village, "..."
I've seen it before, but who would make such thick firewood with bare hands?
No, even if they are willing to do it with their bare hands, they have to be able to break it.
Xiao Liuzi's face flushed red. He wanted to hold it in, but...
He lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth.
Madam Xu is doing a good job of pretending this time, look, they are all quiet now.
Hanging out with Madam Xu is a relief.
"Mrs. Xu, you are so strong." Du Hengbai praised sincerely.
Of all the people he had ever met, regardless of gender, she was definitely the strongest.
"Generally speaking, if you beat up more people, you'll naturally become stronger." Lin Mo chuckled, then picked up the tea beside him and took a sip.
“This tea is very special!”
As he spoke, he took another sip and then looked at Du Hengbai:
"New tea?"
Du Heng nodded and gave her a look of recognition:
“Yes, this tea has been grown for five years and this is the first harvest.
The yield was very small, I only got a few taels, and he sent the rest to the capital."
Lin Mo nodded, said nothing more, and drank her tea slowly.
This tea is good, I'm afraid we can make a lot of money.
Xiao Liuzi, who was standing by, curiously picked up another cup of tea, took a sip, and slowly savored the flavor of the tea like Lin Mo.
But... nothing special!
Never mind, he doesn't know how to taste tea.
All the teas in the world taste the same to him.
At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the direction of the village:
"Young Master, come back quickly, the Patriarch is suffering from a heart attack caused by the poison."
"Young Master!"
…
Du Hengbai's face changed, he stood up, and ran away in a flash.
The speed was so fast that Lin Mo was amazed.
The others also rushed towards the village quickly.
In this huge village, only eight people were left guarding the entrance.
Xiao Liuzi was stunned:
"This speed is really extraordinary."
Lin Mo agreed with this.
Thinking of the various medicines in the space, Lin Mo slowly stood up, thinking that perhaps she could help.
Letting Xiao Liuzi continue to drink his tea slowly, she walked towards the village.
But after taking a few steps, he was stopped by someone.
"You can't enter the village."
It was Du Haibo who stopped her.
At this moment, he was staring at Lin Mo with a serious expression:
“In our village, outsiders are not welcome to enter.
Anyone who enters our village without the owner's consent will either be killed or have their eyes and hands crippled."
Lin Mo, “…”
Xiao Liuzi was nervous.
"Haha, don't be nervous, brother. We won't go in."
As he said that, he hurried over and reached out to pull Lin Mo back to the brazier.
Then lowered his voice:
"Mrs. Xu, this matter has nothing to do with us. Don't interfere. Saving your life is more important."
He finally figured it out.
Everyone in Dujia Village is extraordinary.
No wonder so many girls disappeared nearby and no one dared to come here to look for them.
It feels like this is a den of wolves.
Lin Mo shook his head, “You have to go in if you want to save your life.
I tell you, if something happens to the Du Family Master of Du Village, we won’t be able to leave here safely.”
Xiao Liuzi widened his eyes and asked with a depressed look after a long while:
"Why?
It wasn't us who killed their head of the family, so why wouldn't they let us leave?
Still unreasonable, isn't it? "
"Taking your anger out on others!" A faint light flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.
Since she came here, she naturally had to find a way to show them some kindness.
In this way, their cooperation can continue.
"Then, what should we do now?" Xiao Liuzi asked anxiously.
He glanced around and gritted his teeth:
"How about we break out now while there are few people around?
With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult for us to break out."
Lin Mo, “…”
Coming back to his senses, he coughed lightly and shook his head:
"It doesn't have to be that complicated. All you have to do is do me a small favor. It might hurt a little, so just bear with it."
Just when Xiao Liuzi was confused, Lin Mo smiled.
She pushed Xiao Liuzi towards the door and yelled:
"Quick, catch him, he's trying to break in!"
Du Haibo's face darkened and he immediately led his men to rush towards Xiao Liuzi.
Xiao Liuzi, who had been tricked, stepped back with a wry smile:
"Calm down, everyone calm down!"
But he saw that they didn't listen to him at all and even swung their fists at him.
Xiao Liuzi's face darkened.
If they just attack me without listening to my explanation, then go ahead and fight me. Do they really think I’m afraid of them?
At that moment, Xiao Liuzi swung his fist to meet the attack.
One against eight.
Xiao Liuzi was soon beaten to the ground.
Du Haibo looked at Xiao Liuzi, who was beaten black and blue, and sneered:
"You're asking for trouble if you try to break in from me."
Xiao Liuzi, whose hands were held by others, curled his lips slightly:
"You've been fooled."
As soon as these words were spoken, Du Haibo's face changed and he subconsciously turned around to look for the woman.
When I looked again, I realized that the person had disappeared.
Du Haibo's face changed drastically. After asking someone to watch the gate and look after Xiao Liuzi, he immediately rushed towards the village.
At this time, Lin Mo was also moving quickly in Dujia Village.
Only after entering the village did I discover how special it is.
There are towering mountains all around, and it is impossible to go up or down.
There was only one entrance and exit to the village, and she remembered that there was a small slope at the entrance.
She felt a little strange at the time.
Because that small slope doesn't look natural, it seems more like it was created intentionally.
Now she understands.
The purpose of the Du family's ancestors doing this was probably to create a stronghold that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
No wonder Zhang Baofeng broke into the door directly after stealing the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum.
Because he knew there was no way to escape in the village.
Such a layout has both advantages and disadvantages.
It's not easy to get in by attacking from the outside.
But if it starts from the inside, I'm afraid no one can escape.
Lin Mo's eyes flashed and he shook his head.
She quickly locked onto her target because so many people were gathered at the entrance of the yard that it was hard not to notice her.
At this moment, Du Hengbai's heart-wrenching voice came from the yard.
"Grandpa!" Du Hengbai rushed to the bedside of Du Cheng, the head of the Du family. His eyes were red as he looked at Du Cheng, who had black blood on the corners of his mouth and his eyes were closed.
"Grandpa, hold on, don't scare me." He grabbed Du Cheng's hand:
"I've already asked someone to invite a doctor from the Divine Medicine Valley to treat you. You must hold on!"
Uncle Du came forward to check it out, his face full of anger:
“The Patriarch’s aura is much weaker now, and the poison is rapidly approaching his heart meridian.
It must be that bastard Zhang Baofeng who did something to the head of the family.
I will go and bring this bastard here immediately and have him stop the spread of the poison."
Du Heng nodded, "Quick, go and pick him up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Cheng, who was lying unconscious on the bed, suddenly vomited mouthfuls of black blood.
"grandfather!"
Du Hengbai was shocked and rushed forward to check while shouting:
"Uncle Du, hurry up and drag Zhang Baofeng up."
"good!"
Just as he turned around and wanted to rush outside, Du Chun, who didn't want to be in charge of guarding the dungeon, rushed over with a pale face:
"Young Master, Zhang Baofeng committed suicide!"
As soon as these words came out, Uncle Du's body stiffened. Zhang Baofeng was dead, so who would help the head of the family to suppress the spread of the poison?
"What!" Du Hengbai was shocked and couldn't help but turn around and shout:
"Damn it, how do you do things?
How could you not keep an eye on him, giving him the chance to kill himself?"
Du Chun's face was pale, and he lowered his head and dared not speak.
Uncle Du shook his head, "Young Master, now is not the time to worry about these things, we need to find a doctor.
You stay home to look after the master, and I will ride to the town immediately to get a doctor. We can't put all our hopes on one person."
Seeing Du Hengbai agreed, he immediately turned around and rushed outside.
Only then did Du Hengbai turn around worriedly and guard Du Cheng.
Just at this moment, a loud noise came from outside the gate.
Du Hengbai, who was in a bad mood, stood up with a gloomy face and walked towards the gate with murderous intent:
"Who dares to cause trouble here?"
