"What hurt Luo Luo was never the folding knife, but the broken heart. Do you think changing the knife will change anything? Knives in Xucheng are regulated!"
Seeing that Qin Yun Ning didn't understand, he patiently explained it to him.
"Luo Luo gave you such sharp knives so you could defend yourselves in critical moments. Now you've given them to someone else. Don't you think that person will notice the difference in the blades? If it's handed over to the authorities, they'll definitely trace its origin!"
Seeing Qin Yun Ning's expression change drastically, he softened his tone.
“If the magistrate of Ruxu County is a good official, and says you were picked up, he might let you go because you are young. But if he is bad, he will either arrest you and torture you severely, or arrest all of us and demand money to ransom you if you don’t hand over the knife! Haven’t you thought about any of this?”
These words shocked everyone except Mu Feng, but no one dared to ask.
We'll just wait until Qin Liang finishes disciplining the children before we talk about it.
Qin Yunning still harbored a glimmer of hope.
"Maybe that person will keep it for themselves!"
Qin Liang was so angry he laughed.
"Ha~ For his own use? How many people would be eyeing a knife that's so thin and sharp? Would he dare use it himself? You should pray that the person who gets the knife is just collecting it!"
He looked up at the window again.
"If not, they probably followed you back, and are probably lying in wait outside! They want to find a time to capture us and force you to hand over the forging method! There's no point in saying more, you should reflect on your actions!"
Then Qin Liang looked at Qin Yundu, not believing that Qin Yundu would switch things.
Qin Yundu loved reading most of all; he was both sensible and intelligent.
Logically speaking, someone wouldn't do something so stupid.
But he still asked seriously.
"Yun Du, what did you change?"
Qin Yundu had never seen Qin Liang so fierce before, and he was so frightened that his voice became several decibels lower.
"Sixth Uncle, I... I traded the milk candy my older sister gave me for a book!"
Qin Liang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"You're alright. Although those milk candies taste better than the ones we buy, they were definitely something we could buy before the famine!"
Then he looked at his three eldest sons, his tone becoming even more terrifying.
"And you? What did you change?"
The three Qin brothers trembled in fright.
The two younger children hid behind Qin Yunyang, not daring to make a sound.
Qin Yunyang looked at Qin Liang and stammered.
"I...I changed the carving knife!"
"What did you use to exchange it?"
"Use apples and pears, and candy too!"
Qin Liang pointed to the twins behind him: "Where are they?"
Qin Yunyang lowered his head, feeling afraid but daring not to speak.
"Yunhao traded an apple for a bamboo dragonfly, and Yunze traded a tomato for a clay figurine!"
Qin Liang kicked all three of them to the ground with several kicks.
"Who gave you the audacity? Huh? In a year of famine, you actually traded fresh fruit for those other things? You're really something! Are you afraid we won't all die fast enough?"
He angrily pointed at Qin Yunyang
"Qin Yunyang, didn't I tell you I'd buy you a set of carving knives once we got to Weisi County? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Then he looked at the twins.
"Qin Yunhao, Qin Yunze, you two have eaten too much and don't know what hunger feels like anymore, have you? Your older sister feels sorry for you, so she brings you food every day to supplement your nutrition, but instead of appreciating it, you take it and exchange it for those broken toys!"
He almost had a heart attack from anger.
"Fine, from today onwards, I will no longer allow Luo Luo to give you any food. I'll let you know how precious those fruits are!"
After Qin Liang finished cursing, he turned to look at Qin Xing.
"Third cousin, how can you be so biased? None of them should be let off the hook. They all made the same mistake, so they should all be punished. How can you let your elder brother take the blame all the time?"
Qin Xing was stunned by what he said.
"No, they're all still young and don't understand anything. Yunzhou is the older brother; he started it. It's all his fault!"
Qin Liang looked at Qin Xing with suspicion.
"Oh, really? I don't believe it!"
He then went out of the room and asked the waiter to get him a wooden stick.
Qin Yunzhou and the others secretly raised their eyes.
Seeing Qin Liang bring in a wooden stick, the group quickly looked at Qin Luo.
Wanting her to plead for him, Qin Luo straightened his veil and pretended not to see.
Qin Liang handed the wooden stick to Qin Xian
"Xiao Qi, I'm leaving you to handle things. You can deal with the rest, but if my three can walk out of this door, don't call me Sixth Brother anymore!"
After saying that, he pulled Liu Zheng and Qin Luo out.
Liu Zheng was heartbroken, but she knew the children had made a grave mistake.
So when Qin Liang said he wanted to beat them up, she didn't stop him.
As she stepped outside, she heard the children's screams inside, and tears streamed down her face.
Qin Luo took out a tissue to wipe her tears.
"Auntie, don't cry. I promise they'll be fine. My uncle knew what he was doing, and my great-grandfather has some medicine. Don't worry!"
Liu Zheng grabbed her hand
"Luo Luo, I'm so sorry! They're such scoundrels. Listen to your uncle, don't feed them anymore. They should experience what a real migration is like. They're all well-fed and well-clothed, completely unaware of how difficult this journey is supposed to be!"
"Okay, whatever you say! Please stop crying, okay?"
Liu Zheng wiped away her tears and sighed.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Are you hungry? I'll go ask what food is available. We'll eat when your great-grandfather and the others come out!"
After saying that, he went downstairs to find the waiter to order.
Qin Liang didn't try to comfort Liu Zheng; instead, he turned and went to Doctor You's room.
Dr. You already knows about this.
He also felt that these children were spoiled.
They had no idea what a famine meant, but they were still somewhat surprised to see Qin Liang.
"What's wrong, little one? Are you feeling unwell? Didn't Luo Luo give you a lot of pills? Take one!"
Qin Liang bowed to Doctor You.
"Uncle You, I need your help!"
Dr. You was startled by his shout.
"What's wrong, kid? You're scaring me. Can't you just say it directly?"
Qin Liang then straightened up.
"Uncle You, I had Xiao Qi beat up Yunzhou and the others. My uncle definitely won't give them medicine, but he'll bring them to you for treatment. I don't care about the others, but please don't let my three brats recover too quickly. It'd be best if they suffered for a while longer, so they could learn a good lesson!"
Dr. You agrees a hundred times.
"Young man, you did the right thing! These kids really don't understand the hardships of life; they need to learn a thing or two!"
After the two discussed it, Qin Liang went to find Liu Zheng.
After leaving Qin Ling's room, Mu Feng took Qin Luo to his own room.
Only after closing the doors and windows did you ask.
"Luo Luo, I've been wanting to ask you this: what is this vine demon that Jingming mentioned? How did you get involved with it? Does anyone else know? Do the villagers know? Should I go and kill them?"
Qin Luo was startled by his words.
"Uncle, no need. The villagers don't know anything about me. I'm not some kind of vine demon. I just borrowed some magic from Lord Dang Kang. Besides, I didn't kill everyone in that city. The Dark Dragon Guards killed many more!"
