"No need to calculate, there are no ghosts. This place is close to the mountains, and wild animals make strange noises at night. People with a weak heart think that it is ghosts. The idea that it is haunted is just made up by people. There is no need to take it to heart."
Then Zhu Chumo took out a tortoise shell and cast a divination with an unfathomable expression. The divination was ominous. He lifted his eyelids and said, "Tonight, Shanquan Village will be destroyed, and everyone's lives will be in danger. Those people from the daytime will come to seek revenge."
"Oh? What should we do?" Old Zhou asked worriedly.
"It's alright, we can handle it," Zhu Chumo said calmly.
Looks like I won't be able to sleep tonight.
"Hurry up and clean the house. After dinner, everyone go inside to sleep. If you're well-rested, you'll have the energy to fight tonight." After saying that, Zhao Guihua hurriedly went to the yard to fetch water and started getting busy.
I didn't see how scared she was; perhaps she had experienced it several times before and had become somewhat numb to it.
The five brothers were eager to try their skills. They had been practicing for almost two months and felt they had made great progress, but they had never actually fought anyone. They were inexplicably looking forward to tonight and wanted to see just how strong their opponents really were.
"We need to tell the village chief about this so that the villagers can be prepared." Old Zhou thought back to when they fought against the refugees in Yegou Village. The whole village worked together to protect their home, and in the end, they successfully defended their village.
But the enemy facing Shanquan Village was far more powerful, much more difficult to deal with than those emaciated refugees. The men in black were highly trained assassins. Boss Zhou felt heavy-hearted; all he could do for the villagers of Shanquan Village was to warn them in advance, and there was nothing else he could do.
After listening to Zhou Laoda's words, the village chief of Shanquan Village began to worry. He believed that Zhou Laoda would not lie to him. Those white-clad experts were obviously not ordinary people. The fact that they could get the news in advance showed that they were very capable.
The Zhou family is safe, as they are protected by the men in white. However, the villagers of Shanquan Village are in danger. Their few dozen strong men are no match for them; they are all farmers with no martial arts skills and no way to fight against those who know kung fu.
They could only think of another way to escape this calamity. After thinking it over, the only thing they could do was hide. But where could they hide? There was nowhere else to hide except the mountains. Going outside would be even worse.
However, the mountains are also under the surveillance of those evil people. Don't think that the villagers really don't know that someone is going into the mountains to try to mine silver. Even if the village chief didn't know before, ever since someone secretly sneaked into the mountains to do this and that, the village chief has sent people to secretly keep an eye on them.
Although those people knew kung fu and could easily spot the person they were watching, the mountain was still the mountain of Shanquan Village. They had grown up on this mountain and knew its terrain and environment like the back of their hand, so they could still keep an eye on people.
These villains were too impatient. The village chief had just learned of their intentions and hadn't even figured out what to do when the entire village was kidnapped. Those people were truly vicious; they didn't give anyone a way to live and wanted to use the villagers of Shanquan Village as slaves, forcing them to work for them for free.
Now they're going to massacre the village again, they deserve to die. It's a pity that reporting to the authorities now is useless. The incident hasn't happened yet, and the officials are unlikely to send people to protect ordinary people like them. They can only wait until things have passed before reporting to the authorities. They can only hope that in the end, all the villagers will still be alive.
The village chief thought for half an hour and then invited some respected elders from the village to discuss the matter. Finally, they decided to evacuate the village before sunset and go to the mountains to take refuge.
Before the villagers packed their belongings and prepared to leave, the village chief specifically came to inform Zhou Laoda and the others, "There is a cave in the mountains, a refuge left by our ancestors. We don't usually go up the mountain unless absolutely necessary, but this time we are truly desperate."
To survive, we have to hide for now. If you'd like, you can come with us into the mountains.
"Thank you for your kindness, Village Chief. We are very grateful. However, we will not leave. We will wait here." Old Zhou said, not wanting to leave. Those people were also enemies of the Zhou family. They had been relentlessly hunting them down, determined to kill them. This matter had to be settled sooner or later. With the help of several experts from Immortal Mist Island, they decided to take a gamble.
The village chief opened his mouth, as if to ask if everyone could help protect the houses in the village so that the evil people wouldn't destroy them, leaving them nowhere to stay when they returned from the mountain. However, in the end, the village chief held back and didn't say anything.
This is too much to ask. Who knows what methods those villains will use to deal with them? And who knows how powerful the forces behind them are? If they send hundreds or thousands of assassins, even the most skilled white-clad expert can only protect himself at best.
The village chief guessed correctly. Prince Gong did indeed send a large number of people this time. In addition to the hundred or so people under Wu Lianlian's command, there were more than two hundred people he brought with him, and he also spent a large sum of money to hire several hundred people from an assassination organization.
Prince Gong spent most of his money on this, hiring hitmen to kill people, and as a result, he mistreated some of his subordinates, such as Ye Yingtao, who had not made any great contributions.
This time, a large sum of money was spent, and Prince Gong became even more obsessed with the silver mine. He wished he could kill everyone who blocked his path to wealth. Blocking his path to wealth was blocking his path to the throne, and they all deserved to die.
Today, the Zhou family and the people from Xianwu Island had a good rest for half a day. In the evening, Zhao Guihua called everyone to get up for dinner. Around noon, several of Brother Fu went up the mountain and hunted a few wild rabbits and pheasants, and also collected quite a few bird eggs.
For dinner, we had mushroom and chicken soup, spicy rabbit meat, and steamed quail eggs. The whole meal was very generous.
Zhao Guihua was thinking that she needed to eat well before she could have the strength to fight, since she was going to have a fight that night.
"It smells so good, it tastes so good." Candy was awakened by the aroma of the food and praised it before even starting to eat.
"Auntie's cooking is great, we love eating the dishes she makes," Zhu Qingruo praised sweetly.
