Chapter 66 Departure to the Capital
The three members of the Hu family looked at them, the jealousy in their eyes almost solidified.
It would have been fine if there were just so many people, but Lin Lan and the others were all smiling and wearing warm cotton-padded jackets. They didn't look at all as poor as they did in the village before. They must have sold the ring and anklet given by that dead girl to get the money to buy these things.
What’s even more outrageous is that Lin Lan was able to sit in the carriage, and when she got in, she didn’t even look at their family.
However, they had to wear handcuffs and leg shackles. Although they could sit in the vehicle, it was just a flatbed cart without a roof. Not only could it not shelter them from the wind and rain, it was also extremely crowded.
Yes, Jiang Laosan was also in their car, and there was another person besides him. This person was a gangster in the village named Kuangzi. He used to play with Jiang Laosan often. He liked to steal and rob people, and he also liked to go to several nearby villages to bully orphans and widows. Once, there was a widow whose husband had just died and who was with a three-year-old child. She was almost forced to hang herself by him. If someone had not come to rescue them by chance, the mother and child would not have survived.
People like this are spoiled by their family members. They are the type who will kick any passing dog for no reason.
So whenever he met Chaochao, a child who was called a jinx, he felt unlucky and would either scold her or push her to the ground. The most serious incident was when he pushed Chaochao into the river.
If there hadn't been someone washing clothes upstream and shouting for the nearby mountains to come and rescue them, Chaochao would have been dead.
Chao Chao has not mentioned these things so far, so the people under the sky do not know about the bad behavior of Kuangzi.
But just because they don’t know doesn’t mean the villagers of Shangliu Village don’t know.
So when Gao Hongfei went to find out about Chao Chao's past, someone handed over the frame to him.
Among the villagers of Shangliu Village, except for those who were kind to Chao Chao, the others either sighed at her or watched coldly, or cursed her because they thought she was unlucky. At most, they pushed her away and didn't let her pass by their house, or some children stole her things. For Gao Hongfei, these were not enough to arrest anyone.
Just for this frame, he had the man arrested without saying anything. He probably knew that what he did was not good, and when Gao Hongfei went to arrest him, he was planning to escape.
Now, he also became one of those who needed to go to the capital.
Kuangzi and Jiang Laosan didn't want to talk. They regretted what they had done to Chao Chao. They had no grudge against Chao Chao, so why did they have to bully a little girl? If they had known that she would be in such a situation, they would have tried to please her.
All of this is the Hu family’s fault.
Yes, it’s the Hu family.
Therefore, when the three members of the Hu family got on the cart, the two men crossed their legs and tried to kick them off.
Although Hu Laifu and Zheng had intended to keep a low profile along the way, it was too much to not even let them get on the car. They were not easy to deal with, and soon got entangled with the two.
Liang Wei, who was not far away, glanced at them and said nothing. He let them fight. As long as they didn't beat him to death, it was fine.
He just turned around and told his subordinates, "As long as those people on the cart don't die, it'll be fine. Take good care of the people from the Lin and Zhou families in the carriage, especially the two elderly people. It's cold, don't catch a cold."
"Yes." The subordinate nodded in response.
Liang Wei usually keeps a low profile, but this time he was a little talkative. He frowned and said, "Be careful on the road. The people mentioned on the sky curtain are almost all here. If someone wants to do something, they will inevitably do something on the road."
The subordinate's expression was stern, "Don't worry, Commander, we will be careful and cautious."
Liang Wei talked about the arrangements on the road again, and did not stop until he was sure that there was no problem. If he had not wanted to stay here to continue investigating the whereabouts of Ah Shan, he should have personally escorted him back to Beijing.
Fortunately, the people he brought with him this time are all experts, and many of them are following him secretly, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
Thinking of this, Liang Wei waved his hand and asked them to set off.
The subordinate took the order, walked to the side of the cart, looked at the few people who were still entangled, and said coldly, "If you make trouble again, you will not be allowed to leave."
With a swish, he drew out the sword from his waist, his eyes extremely cold.
If they were not on a tight schedule and could not afford to delay, where would they find a cart for them to sit in? They were not satisfied with the carts they had and were still making a lot of noise. I don't know how such people died.
The people on the cart stopped moving instantly, climbed onto the cart tremblingly and sat down. Zheng hugged Hu Baodun in her arms and dared not say a word.
The people in the carriages ahead had been paying attention to what was happening behind them. Seeing that the Hu family had finally calmed down, Lin Lan put down her hand that was lifting the curtain and shook her head at Aunt Yu who was in the same carriage, saying, "At this time, they still have the energy to fight."
"Don't worry about them. It has nothing to do with us anyway." Aunt Yu held a hand warmer and sighed comfortably.
Daya next to her touched the cushion under her carefully. She had never thought that she could ride in a carriage, and such a comfortable one at that. She now seemed to understand how Chaochao felt when she rode in that magical carriage when she just returned home.
Although the horse-drawn carriage is not as good as a car, it is already a very happy and exciting thing for Daya, who has never even ridden a cart.
The leader of the convoy spoke from outside the door, "Let's go!!"
The group marched forward in a mighty procession. Yue Chai stood behind them, waving his hand and wishing them a safe journey, but a rare look of envy appeared on his face.
He knew that from now on, the fate of these people would be completely different from that of the other villagers in their Shangliu Village.
All of this was brought by Chao Chao.
modern.
Jian Yunsang quickly taught Chaochao how to make a phone call. The latter tried it twice and was very excited.
Today, she got to know something new. And she also owned it.
Jian Yunsang told her about several other functions, but after she had said a few words, she saw Yuanyuan running over with a broken heart, "Sister Chaochao, I overslept and forgot our agreement to read together in the morning. Woo... I really deserve to die. Although I am only a first-year student, how can I go back on my word, go back on my words, break my promise, be treacherous, fickle, and change my mind every day..."
"Stop, stop, stop. I know that although you are only in the first grade, your idioms are already very impressive. That's enough, no need to show off." Song Zhen's mouth twitched twice, and she quickly raised her hand to stop him.
Yuanyuan smacked his lips, somewhat complaining, "Grandma, why are you so unromantic? I have prepared a lot." He was ready to show everyone how capable this first-grade student was.
Jian Yunsang: "..." Is this how you use "unromantic"?
