"Qingyu, go and tell Master Xin to bring everyone here." After arranging the affairs at home and talking to Xu Yingying and Wang Po about the future arrangements, Ye Wanwan returned to the village entrance, but this time with Lin Xu'an by her side.
She could still persuade others, but she was completely powerless when it came to Lin Xu'an. No matter what she said, all he could say was, "Do you think I'm completely useless? That I can only hide behind you forever?"
The people we were waiting for had not arrived yet. The villagers were still guarding the village entrance, and no more people came. Perhaps they had been waiting for too long. Some of them had already sat down and started chatting, and the originally tense atmosphere relaxed a lot.
Lin Xu'an walked up to Lin Yu, greeted the other people in the village, and then slowly said, "Dad, you and everyone else should go back first. We'll just stay here and guard it."
"That won't work. We'll be here to support the situation. Don't worry, we won't go over there. We'll just watch from afar so we can lend a hand when the time comes." Lin Yu patted Lin Xu'an's shoulder and said to the villagers behind him, adding at the end, "Take care of yourself and your wife."
Lin Xu'an nodded, then walked to Ye Wanwan's side. The two walked forward side by side, keeping a distance from the others.
Bai Qingwu, who was in charge of blocking the victims at the front, clutched the letter in his hand, feeling helpless. What could he say? Say that Jiang Huaixu was more trouble than good? He had good intentions, but he had done something bad.
It turned out that this group of people had captured Jiang Huaixu's confidant who was sending a letter on the road, and came here according to the address on the letter. After all, they were going somewhere, and Linjia Village happened to be not far away.
"Where is the messenger?" Bai Qingwu looked at the so-called leader of the disaster victims with a gloomy face. The others were pale and thin and looked as if they could hardly walk steadily, but the so-called leader and several people around him looked strong and powerful, and did not look like they had suffered any hardship at all.
The leader of the disaster victims made a bitter face and said in a feigned sadness, "That kid walked away when he saw he was in trouble. What? Are you going to punish him? Then I really should have stopped him."
While the leader of the disaster victims was speaking, a woman tried her best to cover the mouth of the child in her arms, her body trembling uncontrollably, her head lowered the whole time, and she dared not speak at all.
It’s just that when everyone has their own worries or is worried about themselves, not many people notice it.
"That's not necessary. Just come with us." Seeing the whisper falling from the branch, Bai Qingwu immediately understood and didn't ask any more questions.
We'll talk about it later. This group of people is a dangerous factor and must be controlled no matter what. If they are good people, everyone will be happy. If they are bad people, then we'll just close the door and beat the dog, and catch the turtle in the jar.
On the other hand, in Linjia Village, because it was dinner time, Mrs. Wan had already asked someone to send over all the meals prepared in the school today.
Ye Wanwan munched on the steamed bun in her hand silently. Wan's steamed buns were the best steamed buns in the house, fragrant, soft and a little sweet, but when she had something on her mind, she seemed to not feel any of this.
The group of disaster victims walked very slowly. When Bai Qingwu saw the leader of the disaster victims being lifted up by several people and sitting on a simple sedan chair, he couldn't help but frown. This person didn't look like someone who had suffered, but rather like someone who came out to enjoy himself.
The aroma of the food lingered in the air for a long time. Just when Ye Wanwan was eating her second steamed bun, a group of people finally came over.
The leader of the disaster victims who was not on the ground was naturally particularly conspicuous. Ye Wanwan and Lin Xu'an looked at each other and saw vigilance in each other's eyes. Innocent people who suffered and did not do evil things could naturally be saved, but if they took the risk to save someone who was an unforgivable evildoer, perhaps it would be unnecessary.
"Oh, the letter is right. I see the food is ready. What kind people you are." The leader of the disaster victims got off the sedan chair. He was talking about food, but his eyes seemed to be glued to Ye Wanwan.
Ye Wanwan squinted uncomfortably, but did not say anything. She just whispered to Bai Qingwu what the situation was. After understanding it clearly, she only heard someone calling for help.
"Qingyu, bring the person over here." Ye Wanwan looked in the direction of the voice and ordered.
After Qingyu responded, he used his Qinggong skills to bring the mother and son over directly, quickly and efficiently.
The woman knelt straight down as soon as she landed on the ground, not caring about her fear. "Madam, please save our lives. There is absolutely no need to trust those beasts."
The direction she pointed was exactly where the so-called leader of the disaster victims was, a group of people who were incompatible with others and were like local tyrants who were high and mighty.
Bai Qingwu, who was also standing nearby, waved his hand upon hearing this, and his men immediately tied up several people in one go.
Ye Wanwan helped the person up and said softly, "Sister, what do you say? I'm listening."
It had been a long time since anyone had spoken so kindly. Tears streamed down the woman's face. "Madam, they did all sorts of evil along the way. They even ate the messenger, and many others died at their hands."
"In addition to cannibalism, they also forced many sisters to serve them, otherwise they would die..." The woman's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke, as if she found it difficult to speak.
As the men struggled and were apprehended, more and more people began to speak out, accusing them of stealing money and killing people, using food as a threat to coerce others into appeasing them, and even resorting to cannibalism when they couldn't find any meat to eat...
"Madam, please help me take good care of him. I really can't hold on any longer." After the woman said that, she kissed the child on the face and pushed him towards Ye Wanwan. The next second, she took out a hairpin that was hidden somewhere and attacked herself without any hesitation.
Blood bloomed before her eyes, and the woman fell down. Ye Wanwan passively supported the child that the woman pushed over, and could only subconsciously cover the child's eyes. She didn't react at all. She would have stood up for her. Why...
"I'm sorry, Xiaolei, but mother really can't hold on any longer." The woman left her last words with a peaceful smile on her face and the hairpin still tightly held in her hand, as if she was relieved, and as if the person who had made a lifelong promise to her had come to pick her up.
Lin Xu'an took off his coat and covered the woman with it, then took the child from Ye Wanwan's arms. The child seemed unaware of what had happened, and just stared blankly at the spot on the ground, neither crying nor making a fuss.
Ye Wanwan looked at the beasts with a cold expression, walked over step by step, and said in a cold voice, "Tell me, how do you want to die?"
