Chapter 130 Indiscriminate Attack
"grandfather!"
Du Hengbai rushed into Du Cheng's room in a hurry.
Du Cheng, who was asleep, opened his eyes, looked at him and shook his head:
"Xiaobai, you're so impatient. How can I trust you with the Du family's fortune? Those who achieve great things may not be particular about small details, but they must control their emotions."
Du Hengbai was stunned for a moment, then immediately put away the irritability on his face:
"Grandfather, I was wrong."
Du Cheng did not blame him anymore, and looked at him with tired eyes:
"Mrs. Xu is gone?"
Du Hengbai nodded, then squatted in front of Du Cheng's bed and lowered his voice:
"Grandfather, just now, when Madam Xu was leaving, she told me that it was Du Sheng. She said that the Du family would be defeated by Du Sheng. Do you think she was talking nonsense?"
After saying this, his expression became stern.
This is also the reason why he couldn't control his emotions just now.
Du Sheng, his good brother.
He is also Uncle Du's adopted son. If he really betrayed the Du family, it would be an absolute disaster for the Du family.
But they grew up together, and he could not understand why Du Sheng would betray Dujia Village.
Emotionally, he was unwilling to believe it.
But rationally, he had to be cautious.
This concerns the lives of more than 300 people in Dujia Village. He has to put aside his emotions and deal with it rationally.
If Madam Xu didn't know something, she wouldn't be able to say Du Sheng's name.
Du Cheng's face darkened, and he reached out to grab Du Hengbai's hand, breathing a little faster:
"Don't get involved in this matter, and don't tell anyone, including your Uncle Du.
I will arrange for someone to investigate this matter."
Seeing that Du Hengbai didn't say anything, Du Cheng grabbed his hand and couldn't help but use force:
"Promise me!"
Du Hengbai nodded, but his face was heavy:
"grandfather……"
He felt as if his grandfather was hiding something from him.
"Okay, you go out. I'm tired and want to rest." Du Cheng interrupted him with a tired look on his face and waved his hand to let him go.
Du Hengbai wanted to say something, but seeing his expression, he stopped talking and walked out silently.
After closing the door, Du Hengbai frowned as he looked at the crescent moon in the sky.
Du Sheng, will you really betray the village?
And my grandfather's poisoning...
Du Hengbai's eyes sank. When his grandfather was poisoned, Du Sheng was by his side, so...
Du Hengbai didn't dare to think about it any further.
He took a deep breath and hurried in the other direction.
…
And the other side.
At the entrance of Dujia Village, Lin Mo woke up Xiao Liuzi who was sleeping beside the fire. It was time for them to leave.
Xiao Liuzi, who was beaten black and blue, climbed onto the carriage while rubbing his bruised face. He then began to complain:
"You haven't been out for so long, I thought you forgot and left on your own."
"Am I the kind of person who would abandon you?" Lin Mo chuckled.
Look at his bruised face, he looks guilty.
It was a bit unfair to push him out to attract the Du family's attention. He coughed lightly.
"Thank you for today, this is my apology!"
As he spoke, he took out a knife with a brand new scabbard from the side and handed it to him.
As soon as he saw the knife, Xiao Liuzi's eyes lit up instantly.
He put Lao Wei's knife aside and reached out to take it.
He only opened half of it, and seeing the cold light emanating from the blade, he couldn't help but praise loudly:
"Good knife, better than Brother Wei's."
After praising the knife for a while, Xiao Liuzi felt a little embarrassed:
"Mrs. Xu, are you really going to give me this knife?"
"Yes, didn't I say I would give you a better knife as compensation?" Lin Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly:
"It's fine as long as you like it."
"I like it, I like it very much!" Xiao Liuzi stroked the scabbard gently as if he had obtained a treasure, and it looked like he liked it more and more the more he looked at it.
Murong on the side shook his head and suddenly felt some sympathy for Xu Wuyan.
While he was writing a prescription, he heard her asking Du Hengbai for the knife that was hanging in the living room as a decoration, and he thought she was asking for it for Xu Wuyan.
After all, in order to get this knife, Lin Mo also took the initiative to give some medicine.
Who knew that she would turn around and give it to a bailiff.
Thinking of the value of those medicinal herbs...
Murong just wanted to say, spendthrift woman!
After taking a look at the happy Xiao Liuzi beside him, Murong nudged the drowsy Lin Mo with his elbow.
He lowered his voice and asked what she said to Du Hengbai before she left.
Who made Du Hengbai's face look so ugly after Lin Mo finished speaking? She must be curious.
Lin Mo yawned and shook his head:
"I told him that his collar was dirty somewhere and you were disgusted."
Murong, "..."
When did she say that?
What does it have to do with you?
He shook his head, knowing she didn't want to talk about it, so he stopped asking.
The dark carriage fell silent again, with only the creaking sound of the wheels rolling.
Lin Mo had been running all day and was so tired that he fell asleep.
Murong and Xiao Liuzi also narrowed their eyes.
And at this moment, suddenly...
hiss!
The horse gave a sharp, piercing scream and then stopped, raising its front legs high.
The Du family's groom will try hard to control the horse and prevent it from moving around.
Lin Mo and the other two in the carriage fell forward uncontrollably because the carriage suddenly stopped.
And with this fall, all the sleepyheads naturally ran away.
Before Lin Mo could ask what happened, she heard strange voices coming from all around:
"Brothers, move! It's the Du family's carriage! Hurry!"
"Rob the Du family, quickly!"
…
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people rushed towards the carriage in the darkness.
The coachman's name was Du Lei.
As soon as he saw the black-clad men attacking him, he immediately drew out the big knife hidden under the shaft of the cart and shouted distractedly:
"Mrs. Xu, be careful, these are the bandits from Qingfeng Village."
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out with a knife.
The young master said that Madam Xu is a distinguished guest of their Dujia Village and her safety must be guaranteed.
Seeing that something was not right, Xiao Liuzi, who was standing by, also drew his sword and went down to help.
He got a good knife, but was worried about not having a chance to use it.
In the darkness, the sound of the clashing swords was particularly loud.
"Miss Murong, please stay in the car. I will go down to help." Lin Mo's face was serious. Miss Murong must not be hurt.
Murong glanced outside and shook his head:
"Let me do it."
After saying that, he got out of the carriage regardless of Lin Mo's objection.
Just when Lin Mo wanted to stop her from taking risks, she saw Murong take out a black egg from his arms and threw it hard towards the group of people in front.
Not feeling that one was not enough, she smashed another one.
As the black egg fell to the ground, a puff of smoke immediately came out.
The two streams of thick smoke entangled with each other and soon enveloped everyone, and many people started coughing on the spot.
"Ah, what is this? It smells so bad!"
"Hey, why am I dizzy?"
"Me too!"
…
Then came the sounds of people falling to the ground one after another.
Lin Mo widened his eyes.
Murong looked very proud, "Well, how about this trick of mine?
We are not afraid even if there are more people.
Just throw a few more black eggs, and I've given this move a name: 'Give and take.'"
Lin Mo looked at her with an indescribable expression, "You're attacking indiscriminately, hitting both the enemy and your own people."
After hearing this, Murong felt a little guilty:
“I can’t control this, ugh!
It's not that troublesome actually. Just knock them all down and then wake up your own people. It's not a big deal. Just wait!"
As she said this, she jumped out of the carriage.
He walked to Xiao Liuzi, took out a small porcelain bottle, opened the lid, and shook it on his nose.
When Du Lei sneezed and was about to wake up, he quickly put it on his nose.
After both of them woke up, Murong corked the bottle:
"alright."
Afterwards, regardless of their reactions, he walked back to Lin Mo:
"See, it's easy and hassle-free.
how?
Do you want me to give you a few for self-defense? I tell you, the more people use this, the more murderous it is, and they will fall down when they smell it. "
Good things should not be missed, so Lin Mo decisively reached out to ask for it.
Lin Mo had just put away the small bag given by Murong when Xiao Liuzi and Du Lei came back rubbing their foreheads.
"Miss Murong, please remind me next time." Xiao Liuzi rubbed his forehead with a worried look on his face. His head was still swollen and uncomfortable.
That stuff, one puff can make you question your life.
Murong raised his eyebrows, looking like he was asking, "Am I stupid or are you stupider?" "Is there any difference between reminding you and reminding the enemy?
It's okay, just a little headache, it will be fine in a moment."
Xiao Liuzi thought about it and felt that it was true, so he stopped talking.
Lin Mo glanced at the bandit lying on the ground and shook his head:
"Get in the car, it's getting late."
Soon, the carriage started moving again.
Because of this delay, by the time we arrived at the ruined temple, it was already dawn.
Nanny Qin and Nanny Yun, who had gotten up to cook, were delighted to see them return safely.
Lin Mo didn't let them disturb others and let them do their own things. Then she and Du Lei moved the food to their own carriage.
When Du Lei left, she gave him a five-liang ingot of silver as a reward, and also asked him to bring a small box to Du Hengbai.
By the time we finished all this, it was already dawn and people were getting up one after another.
Lin Mo didn't say a word. While there was still time, she got into the carriage to catch up on some sleep.
This day is so tiring.
So, no one noticed that Lin Mo came back.
