After finally arriving near Liujia Village, everyone burst into tears when they saw several burned houses at the entrance of Liujia Village!
When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?
There's no need to be optimistic, our village is definitely finished.
Thinking of the yard where I lived for many years and the home full of laughter and joy, it is gone just like that. Who wouldn’t feel heartbroken!
"Woo woo, we have no home!"
"Damn you Rakshasa devils, woo woo, where are my parents?"
In the end, Tai Jiye tried his best to endure it and loudly comforted everyone, "Don't cry, maybe it's not that bad! My father and third uncle are at home, they will definitely protect the villagers! Let's go quickly!"
Everyone forced themselves to cheer up and continued to move forward.
In the dim twilight, at the familiar village entrance, there were already quite a few people standing, and the leader was none other than Grandpa Tai!
Tai Jiye rubbed his eyes again and again to make sure he wasn't dreaming. He jumped out of the car and ran over, "Dad, Dad! What an unfilial son!"
Tai Jiye knelt down from a distance, kowtowed and crawled, "Dad, I will never leave again! When the family was in trouble, I was never here. I have no face to live! Dad, hit me, beat me to death! Woo woo, I am an unfilial son!"
Old Master Tai helped his son up and started to cry as he wanted to say something.
He was old, and even though he had lived a rough life and was mentally strong, he was still lacking in strength and was becoming more and more dependent on his son.
Who doesn’t want their sons to be able to stand on their own feet, and then enjoy retirement with peace of mind and grandchildren around them?
However, the sons were born and raised in farming families. It was simply too much to ask them to suddenly support the family, make a fortune and resist the covetousness of outsiders.
What's more, the most and greatest danger is the trouble caused by his own father!
No matter what, he will hold on until all the troubles are resolved and his children and grandchildren grow up strong enough!
"Get up, get up quickly! What nonsense are you talking about? No one can run ahead to take a look! If I knew there was trouble at home and you wanted to leave, I wouldn't let you! Isn't it just that you missed us? It's not like you ran away on purpose to avoid the peace and quiet!"
The old man patted his son's shoulder with his big hand and comforted him, "It's not too late to come back now. The family needs you right now!"
The rest of the villagers also looked for their relatives and cried bitterly.
At this moment, looking at their relatives, their own yard, and the intact village, everyone's heart was relieved.
No matter how rich and powerful you are, or how high the mountains and rivers are, they are not as important as having the whole family alive and well!
After a while of commotion, everyone calmed down and started to rush the convoy to the row of houses near the foot of the mountain to settle down.
Fortunately, this time we went to the grassland with an important mission, not just to exchange cashmere, so the team did not bring back much stuff, and only one room in the row house was empty before they packed everything up.
The crowd also gained courage due to the dozens of people who rushed back. Especially the twenty guards sent by the Sixth Prince, who were obviously powerful and skilled!
Previously, they had been constantly worried about the Rakshasa devils' counterattack, but now they were vaguely hoping for it. Killing dozens of them would not only help the Tunhe Guards relieve their burden, but also allow them to take their revenge!
Tai Jizu led people to light a bonfire, burn a big stove, and prepare food.
The women were all in the mountains, and the men had limited cooking skills, so they couldn't prepare any good meals. But they could manage to make a stew of mixed grains and some cabbage.
The villagers who stayed behind now felt confident and felt at ease about what they ate.
The villagers who returned from afar were happy to eat anything because their families were safe.
Tai Jiye ate a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables, then took the initiative to talk about recent events with his father and elder brother.
Old Master Tai listened carefully and asked questions whenever he didn't understand, especially about the war at the border, the agreement between the general, the sixth prince, and the third prince of the grassland.
Tai Jiye guessed that his father had some considerations, so he told him everything he knew.
Only after the old man had digested and understood all that had happened did he sigh and say, "The General and the Sixth Prince are right to be worried. The Rakshasa devils are determined to invade this year. The Rakshasa devils who came here last night to kill and burn people wanted to cause chaos inside the border to help their accomplices outside open the border and march south!"
"Those fools in the imperial court are so hateful. They don't know how to unite against foreign enemies at this moment, and they actually want to continue strangling the border troops! If the border troops are hindered and the border is opened, they will become prisoners of the Russian devils in less than a month!"
Tai Jiye was also furious and started cursing, "That's right, Dad. At least when I came back, the battle report that the general sent to Kyoto still hadn't received a single reply! It's so infuriating!"
Old Master Tai waved his hand and replied, "Don't worry, maybe I can help with this matter."
Tai Jizu and Tai Jiye were both surprised to hear this, and thought that their father was being a bit arrogant. After all, their family didn't even have a seventh-rank official, so how could they make the court change its decision?
The old man did not answer their questions, but just talked about the dangers of the mountain.
Tai Jiye jumped up in shock. "This...this! Who is so bold as to send someone to plot against our family again? Luckily, Uncle Banxian has a backup plan, and fortunately, Zhimaqiu is smart, and everyone is protecting our family. Otherwise, wouldn't my sister-in-law and Zhuzhu have been killed?"
As he spoke, he lost his patience and asked his father in a low voice.
"Dad, what on earth are you hiding? You didn't tell us brothers before, but now these evil people keep coming to us, and you're still hiding it from us. If anything goes wrong, we won't even know why we were killed!"
These words were a bit harsh, and Tai Jizu was afraid that his father would be angry, so he quickly spoke up to help his brother.
"Dad, the third child is also anxious and has no other thoughts. You have the final say on family matters, and we all listen to you!"
