The man with the gold chain tried hard to pinpoint the source of the sound, but it seemed to be coming from all directions, making it impossible to determine its origin.
I'm getting increasingly anxious.
"Why are you spouting so much nonsense? Hurry up and come out here to die."
We are highway robbers, highway robbers, do you understand? Killing a person or two is normal, okay?
"If you don't show yourself soon, don't blame me for being ruthless."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man with the gold chain prepared to launch a dart into the air.
Zhao Qingyan has confirmed that these people have blood on their hands.
They threw pebbles downwards as if they were free.
She aimed for the thighs of the people below; she was not the murderer, and these people should be handed over to the authorities for trial.
As for the whistleblower, he deserved to die; the rats were clearly being controlled by him.
Soon, Zhao Qingyan beat the robbers so badly they were crying for their parents.
Some collided with each other during their escape, causing secondary injuries.
As for the gold chain, it was also given special attention; both its legs and both hands were pierced by pebbles.
After dealing with this group of people, Zhao Qingyan didn't linger and quickly flew out of the forest.
As soon as we reached the edge of the woods, we saw rats scattering in all directions.
The moment Old Gray's whistle shattered, the mice seemed to sense something and were released from their restraints.
The previously neatly arranged formation instantly fell into disarray.
The smell of the medicine powder quickly drove the rat army away, and the Zhao family didn't need to chase them away at all.
It's a good thing the rats ran away; otherwise, with so few rats, even the most skilled fighters would have been bitten.
The hottest time had passed, so the Zhao family quickly packed their things and continued their journey.
I had planned to plant some rat poison in the woods, but then I thought, what if the rats didn't die, but instead poisoned other wild animals? That would be worse.
That night, the Zhao family stayed in town.
When the group checked in, the innkeeper was already planning to close up shop.
After all, people who want to stay in a hotel usually check in at dawn.
The lower and middle rooms are gone; only the top-tier rooms remain.
In fact, this inn only had three top-tier rooms. The Zhao family just didn't know that.
There was also a middle room available. The shopkeeper was shrewd; he noticed that although the Zhao family were all dressed in short jackets, the fabrics they wore were all made of fine cotton.
Especially the shoes on his feet, the style of which he had never seen before.
They look extremely comfortable and lightweight.
If there are fat sheep to be slaughtered, a curfew will be imposed immediately outside. If they don't stay at their own homes, they won't be able to find lodging at other inns.
The Zhao family didn't care at all; they were just disappointed that there were only three rooms.
After being assigned a room and given some copper coins, the waiter helped fetch bathwater, and I quickly took a bath and went to sleep.
The next day, early in the morning, the group continued their journey as usual.
On the bus, Zhao Qingyan distributed steamed buns, eggs, and warm water to everyone.
The steamed buns, brimming with meat filling, satisfied my hungry stomach early in the morning.
Before leaving the house, everyone prayed that no more accidents would happen today.
Of course, Zhao Qianci was an exception; he knew his unlucky constitution all too well.
All we can say now is that everything turned out alright, which is already a blessing in disguise.
The family had just finished eating steamed buns, chatting and laughing, when they reached the city gate and were blocked from their way.
There were many people gathered around, and it was only from the snippets of conversation among them that it was clear that a young woman was selling herself to bury her father.
He wanted ten taels of silver to sell himself into servitude, and if he could help bury his father, he could go with his benefactor.
Many people approached to flirt with the customer and ask about the price, but few actually made an offer.
Early in the morning, the rich man's son was still asleep in bed, while the onlookers were mostly nearby residents and farmers who had come to the city to sell vegetables.
More and more people gathered at the city gate.
The Zhao family's carriage had no chance of leaving the house.
Fortunately, the Zhao family retreated a hundred meters and prepared to exit through another city gate. Even if it was a longer route, it was better than being stuck here.
Besides, if too many people gather at the city gate, trouble is likely to break out.
The Zhao family is not so arrogant as to think they can save the people.
The incident happened so suddenly and unexpectedly. The Zhao family's carriage was backing up when a riot broke out at the place where they had just sold themselves to bury their father.
"Murder! Murder!"
"Help!"
Pedestrians scattered and fled, and some were knocked down while running for their lives. Before they could get up, someone stepped on their backs or thighs.
The Zhao family tried their best to control the carriage, but even so, it was still knocked about and swayed from side to side.
Soon, most of the people had fled. Only the Zhao family members remained standing there, motionless.
It wasn't that they didn't want to move, but the scene just now was so chaotic that they couldn't move even if they wanted to.
At the place where she had just sold herself to bury her father, the "corpse" lying on the ground had a sharp knife stuck in its stomach.
The woman who had sold herself also fell into a pool of blood.
The perpetrators are currently in a standoff with the soldiers guarding the city.
Taking advantage of the soldiers' inattention, the villain quickly pulled the knife from the "corpse".
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! If you dare to come any closer, I'll..." the thug said, feigning bravado but actually being weak.
His eyes kept darting around.
"What else can I do? I advise you to lay down your weapon immediately, pay for your life, and settle your debts. You killed someone in front of everyone and you still want to run away? Don't you have any respect for us soldiers?"
One of the officers said.
Suddenly, the villain ran towards the Zhao family.
His primary targets were Zhao Qingyan and Xu Dongsheng.
It was because their carriage was the closest to the city gate, and the two of them seemed to be the weakest.
Surprisingly, it seems that those who are capable of killing have had their potential unleashed.
His running speed is incredibly fast.
Xu Dongsheng, holding the reins, saw the other party charging straight at him, steadied his horse, and kicked out with his foot.
The villain flew out like a parabola and crashed down in front of the soldiers guarding the city.
More than a dozen spears were placed directly at the man's neck.
"Ah, let me go, let me go. They all deserve to die, they all deserve to die."
That woman and her father both deserve to die.
They're just a bunch of liars, con artists. I kindly bought her money so she could bury my father.
I thought I'd gotten a good deal, but little did I know she'd drug me that very night. She stole all my possessions, everything!
I'm out of money, so I can't buy goods. Without goods, I can't deliver them on time.
Because of this woman, I sold my ancestral home.
Waaaaah…
Well, this is still a victim, just using the wrong method of revenge.
The Zhao family overheard this and drove their carriage out of the city.
It's just that the two corpses at the city gate look rather ominous.
The Zhao family's carriage left the city, and the corpses inside the city gate were quickly carried away, restoring the city to its previous prosperity.
However, some of the people who had been trampled were still lying on the ground, unable to move.
In the end, after consulting with the higher authorities, they arranged for a vehicle to transport all these people to the pharmacy.
