After seeing off the Baihe County Magistrate and his entourage, the courtyard finally quieted down.
Everyone, hurry up and rest. It will be almost dawn in another hour.
After daybreak, the Zhao family set off without even having breakfast.
This suggestion was made by the caravan leader.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I think we should hurry on our way. I don't have a good feeling about this village."
If there's one water source, there's bound to be a second.
Anyway, it's getting light now, so let's hurry up and leave this place. There's food in the truck and snow by the roadside.
Even if we can't find water on the road, we can still cook our rice.
Huang thought about it and realized that made sense. This village was a place of trouble, so it was better to leave as soon as possible.
The village chief's family had originally planned to sell the food they had prepared for Magistrate Su to the Zhao family and their group.
As a result, just as dawn broke, the group packed their things and set off.
That's really something. Apart from earning the accommodation fee, they didn't make a single extra penny. It's a huge loss.
Even more seriously, in the future, no one may come to the village to complain about this road, which would result in even greater losses.
Looking at the meat and vegetables in the kitchen, the village chief felt even more distressed.
Inevitably, they started cursing.
"That little bastard Shuigen is a menace."
These people raise children without educating them, just spoiling them. And after spoiling them so much, look what happened—they're in jail.
It's one thing for him to go in, but not only did he tarnish our village's reputation, he also affected my ability to make money.
If that kid gets out, I'll break his legs...
In the village chief's mind, anyone who hinders his ability to make money is his enemy.
The village chief was so upset that he didn't even enjoy eating meat anymore.
There were others who were even more upset. Those were Zhu and Chunni, who lived next door to the village chief.
Last night, the village chief's yard was bustling with noise, and the neighbors naturally came out to see what was going on.
With so many bonfires lit in the courtyard, the scene inside was clearly visible.
Zhu Zi and Chun Ni also saw the people in the yard.
The Zhao family is known for its good looks; they have several young men and one young woman.
Although he is still young, he is already quite tall.
The boy's heart stirred instantly.
Chunni had planned to take advantage of the opportunity this morning to have a chance encounter with the village chief at his house.
Or perhaps the act of being bumped into someone's arms would ruin her reputation, and she might even be able to marry into a wealthy family.
As a result, they didn't give her a chance at all. By the time she got up, all the guests next door had already left.
Chunni was so angry that she pounded the bed.
The reason the caravan leader was in such a hurry to leave was because he overheard someone muttering something during his night patrol.
"Wow, dozens of truckloads of stuff, it must be worth a lot of money."
Those guys, Shui Gen and his gang, are stupid. They attacked without even seeing clearly.
If we were to do this, we would set up a tripwire on their inevitable route.
Then we'll drug them, gather a few hundred men, and I'm sure we can take them down..."
As soon as that person finished speaking, another voice rang out.
"Brother is right. Then what do you think, brother?"
Should we talk to someone about this? We just don't know when this group will set off..."
The caravan leader was alarmed and knew that leaving as soon as possible was the most important thing.
If it were just their caravan, they wouldn't be afraid of anything; they'd fight to the death if necessary.
With the old master and young master and young lady in tow, he became hesitant.
On the way, the leader recounted everything he had heard, and Zhao Qianci nodded.
"You're the one who's being wise. When you get to the next county, you should report this to the local government. Maybe it will serve as a warning."
