"Yinyin, do you think your father and the others will be able to escape in time like they did in their previous life?" Su's mother couldn't let go of Su's father and the two children.
Although that path was chosen by the two children themselves, and although they were raised by Old Lady Su as if they did not have a mother, they were ultimately a piece of her flesh and blood, and could not be thrown away at will.
"I will. Mom, don't think too much. We have to travel tomorrow, so go to bed early."
The three of them have changed their fate, and by extension, the fate of many people who were bound to die. As for whether the Su family will change their fate, Su Yin is not a god, so naturally he cannot see it.
After Su's mother fell asleep, Su Baozhu, who had been closing her eyes but not falling asleep, spoke softly, "Yinyin, will he die?"
There is no need to specify who this "he" refers to.
"Death may be the most satisfying thing for him. A life worse than death is the best punishment."
"What do you mean?"
Su Yin analyzed the situation with her in a low voice, and Su Baozhu's eyes lit up after listening.
"Then I hope he doesn't die so easily."
Lijiacun
At one quarter past You, my uncle Su Xiaoyong received the invitation and was overjoyed. Although he complained about the delay of the person who delivered the letter, he was still in a good mood and gave the other person a few copper coins.
The family was originally worried because many people in the village had left, but now seeing the invitation, they were completely relieved and no longer doubted what Su Xiaoyong said.
In the past few days, several families who were originally planning to leave changed their minds when they saw the Su family taking advantage of the situation to lower the price to buy land. They thought that those people were just believing what they heard, so they followed suit and bought the land of those who left home at the lowest price.
The once bustling village seemed empty and quiet now that half of the people had left.
In this eerie silence, one can't help but feel uneasy.
They felt uneasy and naturally ran to the Su's house to ask. Every time they heard Su Xiaoyong swear that everything was fine, they would leave reluctantly.
After Su Xiaoyong received the invitation, his first wife, Lu, and his second wife, Li, ran to the village to share the good news with others.
If something really happened, the officials in the county would not have the leisure to hold a poetry meeting.
When the people who stayed in the village heard this, they all smiled, especially those who followed the Su family to buy land at the lowest price, they were grinning from ear to ear.
"When you hear the letter, you will be so regretful." A woman said with a gloating smile.
"Of course. By then, Li Rui's family will also have several uncles from the third branch of the Su family. They will probably be scolded by them, and their future life will not be easy."
"That's what they deserve. They believe everything they hear, which hurts others and themselves."
"Those who followed were also stupid. They didn't listen to Su Tongsheng, but listened to a maid and those uneducated people from the Yang family. Don't they deserve it?"
"I heard that the third son of the Su family and that girl Su Baozhu left, and I was worried and almost left with them. Fortunately, my man didn't leave."
"Hahaha, we are smart and know who to listen to."
"Of course! Su Tongsheng is a student, so what he said must be correct."
…
Li Lizheng did not leave the village head's home. He was reluctant to leave this home, but looking at the now depressed Lijia Village, he felt very uncomfortable.
"Dad, I just received news from the Su family that the eldest son of the Su family went to attend a poetry reading. It's definitely okay for those rich young men in town to have the leisure to hold a poetry reading during this festive period."
Li Li, who was lying in the rocking chair, sat up straight and asked, "When did it happen?"
"A cup of tea ago, someone delivered the invitation. The eldest son of the Su family has gone to keep the appointment." The eldest son said happily.
These days, my family has been arguing about whether to leave or not.
The third and fifth sons insisted on leaving, but he and the fourth son did not want to leave. Their father kept dragging his feet and there was no definite news.
"Dad, you can put your mind at ease now."
As he spoke, he looked at the fifth and third brothers and complained, "In my opinion, I shouldn't have listened to you and put a lot of food from home in the mountains. Now that everything is fine, we have to take the trouble to move the food and belongings back."
"Brother, haven't you ever heard the saying 'It's better to be prepared than to act'?" the third brother retorted.
"You two are just worrying about nothing." The eldest brother didn't care.
Li Jiawu frowned, "But I feel very uneasy, and I always feel that something is going to happen."
"I really don't know what to say to you two. You are such cowards." The eldest brother looked at his two younger brothers with dissatisfaction.
"Third brother, fifth brother, the eldest brother of the Su family has gone to attend the poetry meeting, so what he said must be correct. You can put your mind at ease."
The third and fifth sons looked at their father. Li Lizheng looked at the two sons and said, "You two can take your wives and children to live in the mountains for a few days. When you feel it is safe, come down."
"Dad!" The third and fifth sons looked at their dad in shock.
"Let's do this." Li Lizheng looked at his other sons, "If your children are willing, let them go to the mountains with you and live for a few days."
Several people left the main room. The third and fifth brothers looked at each other. The closer it got to night, the more uneasy they felt.
In the house, my wife had already packed her bags and was ready to go up the mountain tomorrow morning when the villagers were not paying attention.
"I want to go up the mountain tonight." The two brothers said in unison.
The two of them stared at each other, surprise flashed in their eyes, and finally they smiled at each other.
After making the decision, the two men said goodbye to their father, took their wives and children, and walked up the mountain with torches.
The village was very quiet at night, with only the occasional barking of dogs.
The third brother took his wife and three children, and the fifth brother took his wife and one child, and both sides carried their bags and walked into the mountains.
"Wouldn't it be better to leave tomorrow morning?" The third wife complained, "One night won't make a difference."
"You don't understand." The third brother comforted his wife, "I will feel better if we can get to the mountain earlier."
"You, you, I really don't know what to say to you. What if nothing happens, and you will be laughed at by the villagers in the future." The third son's wife was very worried.
They said they were laughed at by other people in the village, but in fact they were laughed at by people from other families, and they would definitely use it to tease them from time to time in the future.
"Let them laugh at you! Just take it to heart." The third brother comforted his wife.
The fifth child, who was only three years old, said in a baby voice, "Daddy, there is a long dragon at the foot of the mountain."
Upon hearing this, the fifth son of the Li family turned around and his eyes widened when he saw this.
With a trembling voice, he shouted to his third brother and his wife who were still arguing, "Third brother, look down the mountain."
His words successfully made the third brother and his wife shut up and look towards the foot of the mountain together.
That was not a fire dragon, but a long team formed by countless people holding torches and walking on the narrow mountain village path. However, looking at the huge number of torches, it can be seen that the team has a large number of people, and they are heading quickly towards Lijia Village.
