Chapter 264 Turmoil
Aunt Lu Liu lived her entire life in fear of being beaten and scolded. She once felt that Lu Liu was a dark sky pressing down on her head.
But at this moment, seeing the man who used to be so high and mighty curled up on the ground like a dog, he could only dodge the long whip that kept falling. It turned out that people's reactions when being beaten were the same: fear, crying, and begging for mercy.
Aunt Lu Liu looked at him quietly for a moment with her weathered and cloudy eyes. The moment Lu Liu was knocked down, she felt that her back, which had been bent for a long time, suddenly straightened up.
When she turned around and wanted to leave, she suddenly heard a heartbreaking cry from behind her, "Mom, mom, save us, we don't want to die."
Aunt Lu Liu's two sons realized one thing earlier than their father: the people from the court who came this time were not joking with them, they would really die.
As the saying goes, when one is desperate, one will try anything. At this moment, they had no one to rely on, and in panic they turned their eyes to their own mother, whom they had always looked down upon.
"Mother, please go and ask the village chief, please ask my uncle to save us."
The two men in their thirties were now covered in snot and tears, not caring about their appearance at all.
Aunt Lu heard the cries of her two sons, but she just tilted her head slightly and never turned around to look at the two pieces of flesh that had fallen off her body.
She was still young at the time and couldn't stand being beaten by Lu Liu, so she held the two children and thought that she would hold on a little longer. When they grew up, everything would be fine. With her sons as her support, Lu Liu would definitely not dare to beat her again.
She held on to this hope for several years, more than ten years, and even more than twenty years, but these children conceived with her flesh and blood eventually became the cruelest knives that stabbed her.
When the boss's fists rained down on her, Aunt Lu knew that her life was a complete failure. She had originally thought of dying and putting an end to it all, but she couldn't bear to see the girl who had been kidnapped and was covered in injuries.
She thought that she was used to being beaten throughout her life, and at least by staying alive she could protect innocent girls from some trouble.
Now she and the two girls were truly free. From now on, no man's fist could fall on them. This was so good that Aunt Lu felt she couldn't react at all.
"Don't worry, I gave birth to you and raised you. If the village chief is kind enough, I will definitely leave you to lie dead in the wilderness. This is the last thing I, as your mother, can do for you."
When those who were familiar with Aunt Lu Liu heard her words, they all looked at the old lady with shocked and complicated eyes.
As Aunt Lu Liu limped closer, someone couldn't help but mutter, "You old lady, you have such a cruel heart. That's your husband and your own son."
Aunt Lu Liu didn't even look up, and walked towards home, waiting to pass by the man and leave a message: "You are kind-hearted. When they die, you can take them back and bury them with your husband. I, an old woman, have no objection."
Just this one sentence shut everyone up. Those who were sentenced to immediate execution were all hateful in their own ways, but the cruelty of the Lu Liu family was well-known throughout the Luhua Town. They said those words simply because they didn't want Aunt Lu Liu to have an easy time.
Lu Da had actually anticipated Lu Liu's fate, but after hearing with his own ears that he and his two nephews were sentenced to death, he was exhausted and could only pretend to be calm in front of Cui Qingyi.
Cui Qingyi didn't care what Lu Da and the others thought. In fact, in her original plan, if Lu Da hadn't turned against her, the first person to be punished in Luhua Town would have been Lu Da.
As the village head, he did nothing and allowed Luhua Town to become what it is today.
Lu Laoliu was the source of human trafficking in Luhua Town. Without Lu Da's protection, how could he have gotten away with it for so many years? Lu Da's remorse was only now coming to an end, which Cui Qingyi felt was a bit like crocodile tears.
Lu Da's delusion that he could use his betrayal this time to ensure that his descendants would still have a say in Luhua Town in the future is simply a pipe dream.
While waiting to stabilize the situation in Luhua Town, Cui Qingyi will not let go of those who need to settle accounts with Lu Da.
Seeing that the work was almost done, Cui Qingyi instructed Captain Wu to send all the prisoners, whether they were sentenced to death or imprisoned, to work directly.
It has always been said that the people of Luhua Town are tough, but Cui Qingyi has never seen it.
At that moment, she was about to go back and change into more comfortable clothes to take a look around Luhua Town. She was in a hurry last time and actually didn't have time to take a close look at many places. If she wanted to govern and develop Luhua Town, she still had to take a look before making any adjustments to the plan.
But just as she stood up and wanted to return to the inn, she heard the sound of an arrow breaking through the air. Before Cui Qingyi could react, Huo Ying's long whip with the arrow wrapped around it had already smashed to the ground.
Xiao Ba looked at Huo Ying with some irritation. "Good fellow, you're the only one who can handle a whip, right?" She had even raised her knife. Who would have thought that this guy would cut her off?
The incident happened suddenly, and in a heavily guarded camp. Cui Qingyi, the village chief, was nearly injured. Captain Wu's square face instantly turned completely dark. He pointed his spear at the foot of the mountain not far away and roared, "Be on guard! Find the man for me!"
The soldiers reacted quickly and were about to rush to the foot of the mountain when Cui Qingyi called out, "Captain Wu, wait a minute."
Without waiting for Captain Wu to ask what was going on, Cui Qingyi raised his sword in his right hand and blew a loud and urgent horn towards the mountain.
Wangcai was lying leisurely on the top of the mountain. Seeing the big black wolf catching birds, he was suddenly startled. He turned his head and roared at the black wolf, then quickly ran towards the foot of the mountain.
The black wolf took only 0.1 seconds to react, then spread out his four claws and chased after his wife.
Here, Cui Qingyi signaled Captain Wu to calm down: "The situation in the mountains is complicated, so it's best for our people not to go up the mountain for the time being."
Captain Wu was unwilling to accept this. He had been suppressing bandits for so many years, but he ended up in trouble. Someone shot an arrow at the village chief right under his nose. Almost injuring the village chief was one thing, but making him lose face was an even greater shame and humiliation.
Cui Qingyi signaled him with her eyes to pay attention to the onlookers. Although Captain Wu was cautious, he really did not take the unarmed people in Luhua Town seriously. Now, after being signaled by Cui Qingyi, Captain Wu felt a chill on his back when he saw the occasional flash of light in the crowd.
Damn, we almost capsized in the gutter one after another.
In the forest, Lu Biao took a deep breath when he saw that the arrow he had charged up with power was easily blocked. He was one of the five people who had escaped.
I had intended to take advantage of the chaos created by shooting that damn village chief to rescue my brothers, but not only did I fail, but those soldiers actually dared not to chase me into the mountains.
How can they save people?
