Chapter 76: The village of sin, murderous intent arises suddenly!
Time passed by little by little, and Lu Qing was still lurking in the tree.
On the other side, Magu was extremely anxious.
"How is it? Haven't you found where Brother Lu is yet?"
"No, Dashan and I walked around the area several times, but we didn't find any trace of Mr. Lu." Xiaotian replied.
"How could this happen? Are we a step too late, and Brother Lu has already broken in and been caught?" Ma Gu asked anxiously.
"That shouldn't be the case." Xiao Tian hesitated and said, "We have been here for such a long time, and we haven't seen any signs of disturbance in Happy Village. If Young Master Lu broke in, it shouldn't be so peaceful."
"I think Mr. Lu is hiding somewhere, waiting for a good opportunity to take action."
Ma Gu thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Lu Qing is a warrior at the Qi and Blood Realm. If he breaks in, there is no way that Happy Village will be able to get rid of him without making any noise.
The greater possibility is that, as Xiaotian said, Lu Qing is lurking somewhere, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"Then let's continue waiting. We must not let anything happen to Brother Lu." Ma Gu said, suppressing his anxiety.
Xiaotian and Dashan looked at each other.
If it were the usual Mr. Ma, he would definitely not fail to think of such a problem.
It seems that Master Ma really values Mr. Lu so much that he has even lost his usual calmness.
Lu Qing didn't know that Magu had brought other people with him and was waiting to pick him up on the other side of the mountain.
He had been lurking in the tree, waiting for the night to fall.
Finally, as time passed, dusk arrived and the sky gradually darkened.
At this time, lights began to be lit in Happy Village, and it gradually became brightly lit.
Lu Qing, who had closed his eyes to rest for an afternoon, also opened his eyes.
"Okay, cheer up, the guests are coming soon!"
The two guards below were no longer slouching, and stood up straight.
Only then did Lu Qing realize that Happy Village was actually open at night.
No wonder he had been lurking here for so long and hadn't seen anyone go in.
The lights came on, and after a while, Lu Qing finally saw someone coming.
And there are quite a few people.
There were villagers who were dressed simply and were walking, and there were also landlords who were dressed in silk and satin and were sitting in sedan chairs.
Lu Qing even saw an old man wearing patched clothes and with a wretched face.
I really don't know where these people get the money to spend in this den of luxury.
Just when Lu Qing was about to take action while the guests were being received across the street.
Suddenly, a burst of crying and shouting came from outside, getting closer and closer, and soon arrived at the gate of the village.
Lu Qing took a look and saw a man in his forties struggling with a young girl.
The crying sound came from the young girl. She was pulling the man's hand and begging bitterly.
"Dad, please, don't use this money for gambling. This is the money I earned from embroidering silk for a long time. It's for my mother's medical treatment!"
"Bullshit! Your money is mine. I'm short of money, so what's wrong with you using it!" the man cursed, "Your mother's illness is not serious, just let her endure it and she will be fine. Besides, as long as I make a profit, I will have all the money I want, and then you can hire as many doctors as you want for your mother, and buy as many medicines as you want!"
"Dad, I really can't do this. Mom coughed up blood yesterday. If I don't ask a doctor to see a doctor and prescribe medicine, I really can't make it!"
The girl still refused to let go of the man's hand and begged bitterly.
"What do you mean you can't bear it? I saw she was fine this morning. She will be fine if she lies down for two more days!" The man said impatiently, "Are you going to let go or not? If you don't, do you believe I will kick her?"
"Dad, please, Mom really needs money to buy medicine, otherwise she will really die, really die!"
The girl's face was covered with tears, and she tightly grasped the man's arm.
"Then let her die!" The man kicked his daughter away. "It's a good thing I don't have to work so hard. I can make money to buy medicine for her!"
Hearing these words, the girl lying on the ground suddenly opened her eyes wide, as if she couldn't believe that her father would say such a thing.
However, when she saw her father about to walk into the village, she rushed over and hugged his legs.
"Dad, stop gambling and give me back my money..."
"Let me go!"
The man was held back again and couldn't move. He was so angry that he raised his hand to hit.
At this time, a lot of people who were watching the fun had gathered at the entrance of the village, most of whom were guests who came to Happy Village to have fun.
Seeing this scene, instead of feeling pity, I watched it with great interest.
The two guards at the gate couldn't help but laugh when they saw the man being carried and unable to move.
The first guard shouted, "Zhao Laosan, are you capable of this? You can't even take care of your own daughter. If you don't know how to do this, why not let our village take care of her for you? We promise to teach her to be obedient!"
The man was already angry, but when he heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Master Chen, are you telling the truth? Are you willing to take her in?"
The first guard was stunned. He had just wanted to make a joke, but he never thought that Zhao Laosan actually took it seriously.
He looked at the girl and found that she was indeed pretty.
"Think carefully, if she enters our village, it will be difficult for you to redeem her in the future." The guard reminded him.
"It doesn't matter. She's a money-loser anyway. It's her blessing to be able to enter the village. Master Chen, just tell me how much she's worth."
The man named Zhao Laosan didn't care. It just so happened that he felt that the money he had was too little and not enough for him to make a profit.
"I can't make the decision on this, but I can help you go in and call someone out to estimate the price." said the first guard.
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Chen!" Zhao Laosan nodded and bowed.
"Dad!" The girl's face was full of disbelief when she heard this conversation.
When she saw that the guard actually came into the village and called for help, fear appeared in her eyes. She quickly got up from the ground and wanted to run outside.
"Want to run?!"
But this time, she wanted to leave but couldn't.
Zhao Laosan grabbed her and dragged her back.
"I asked you to go back just now but you didn't. So don't go back now. Just stay in the village and make money for me!"
"Dad, no, I'm your daughter, how could you sell me out?!"
The girl cried out, feeling extremely terrified.
"I'm doing this for your own good. It's much better to be able to enjoy life in the village than to stay at home embroidering every day. Don't you want to buy medicine for your mother? As long as you make money in there, your mother's illness can be cured."
Zhao Laosan ignored his daughter's struggle and dragged her back to the village gate.
Just at this moment, the guard also called out the people in the village.
The two sides signed the contract under the girl's desperate look.
Zhao Laosan got a sum of silver, and the girl was dragged in crying.
After getting the silver, Zhao Laosan ignored his daughter's crying and happily took out a piece of silver and looked at it.
This time, his gambling capital suddenly became huge, and he would definitely be able to make a profit this time!
Someone nearby saw him like this and couldn't help but laugh at him, "Zhao Laosan, you are really cruel. You even sold your own daughter. Aren't you afraid that your wife will kill you when you go back?"
"How dare she!" Zhao Laosan glared, "Besides, Baldy, what qualifications do you have to criticize me? Didn't you sell your widowed sister-in-law into prison? Your sister-in-law raised you from childhood!"
These words choked the bald man so much that he dared not say anything.
"Zhao Laosan, is your daughter still married?"
At this time, a fat man with a well-dressed body and a big belly asked.
Zhao Laosan was stunned: "Yes, she is only sixteen years old, why would she get married?"
"I didn't expect that there would be a new chick coming into Happy Village today. I must try her out." The fat man with a big belly patted Zhao Laosan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Zhao Laosan, I will treat your daughter well!"
"Master Wang, then you have to call Zhao Laosan father-in-law?" someone said from the side.
"Go to hell with you. Do you know how to speak? Who the hell is he? He's my father-in-law. I wouldn't even want him to be my grandson." The fat man cursed.
The front of the village was suddenly filled with laughter, except for Zhao Laosan, whose face looked a little grim.
On top of the big tree, Lu Qing has already stood up.
His face was in the shadow and could not be seen clearly.
But the cold aura emanating from him made Xiao Li standing beside him feel a little angry.
Standing on the tree and looking at the group of scum in front of the village for a while, Lu Qing finally restrained himself and did not act impulsively.
It's not the right time yet.
Quietly descending from the tree and taking advantage of the cover of night, Lu Qing made a circle and found a blind spot in the village, then he gently climbed in.
Xiao Li stood on his shoulders, very steadily.
After entering the village, Lu Qing began to look around the situation inside.
The area of this village is not small, with many buildings, among which the tall wooden building in the middle is particularly eye-catching.
Lu Qing’s target is right there.
With the help of the shadows of various buildings, Lu Qing moved quickly in the village.
Xiao Li has a special sensing ability that can alert him in advance whenever someone is nearby.
In this way, Lu Qing shuttled between various buildings, but no one could find him.
Just as he was about to approach the main building, a burst of shouting and cursing reached his ears.
Turning a corner, I saw a middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes walking towards me with two men.
Behind him, there was a young girl, the one Lu Qing had seen at the entrance of the village before.
At this time, the girl's hands had been tied and she was pulled with a rope. If she walked a step slower, she would be scolded.
Seeing the girl's face full of despair, Lu Qing hesitated for a moment, but still followed her quietly.
Soon, he saw three men pushing the girl into a room in the corner of the village.
Lu Qing followed behind and observed for a while. Finding that there was no one guarding, he approached quietly.
When he arrived at the house, he found that this house was a little different from the other houses. It was made of stone.
"Lock this little girl up first and starve her for three days and she will behave herself." A sharp and harsh voice came from the house, "And you little girls, if you still don't behave, I will throw you all into the mountains to be eaten by wolves!"
Lu Qing slowly looked into the room, and when he saw the situation inside clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted.
At the same time, the murderous intent that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time could no longer be suppressed.
