Lin Xiaoxiao always thought that killing someone was just a matter of beheading them, and that it felt good for a moment, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that being worse than death was obviously more terrifying than death itself.
Moreover, having experienced the apocalypse, she understands the preciousness of life even more.
Having been in this world for over a year, the only people she has personally killed are those beasts at the R country's experimental base who can hardly be called human, and the traitor Huang Liangcai.
Zhao Mei and Zhao Qingqing committed numerous evil deeds, and they finally met their just end at Fu Qing's hands.
The Lin family abused the original owner from childhood, but she didn't take their lives. Instead, she sent them to work on a farm in the freezing cold of Northeast China. While enduring both psychological and physical torment, they were still able to make some contributions to society, which made their lives worthwhile.
As for Lin Wanwan, she has many schemes and tricks up her sleeve, and she never learns her lesson.
Every time he comes up to her and talks trash, he gets beaten up but has a seven-second memory like a fish, and the next time he still relentlessly comes up to her and acts trash.
Sometimes Lin Xiaoxiao admired her spirit.
After listening, Wen Mo hesitated for a moment, but finally slowly recounted what happened back then.
The events were similar to what Lin Xiaoxiao had heard. The Lu brothers coveted Wen Shiyu's property and engaged in various power struggles. In the end, they were desperate and, on the day Wen Shiyu gave birth, they took advantage of Wen Mo's momentary lapse in vigilance and stole both of their newborn children to threaten them into handing over their property.
Wen Mo never expected his own brother to do such a thing, so he asked Old Master Lu to make the decision, but Old Master Lu still chose to turn a blind eye.
Heartbroken by his family, Wen Mo finally handed over the key. However, Lu Ze betrayed him after receiving the key, trying to keep it for himself. This angered Lu Hua, who strangled the two children until they stopped breathing and ordered Lu Zhi to dispose of the children's bodies.
Lin Xiaoxiao had no recollection of Lu Zhi, the sixth master of the Lu family. She only knew that he had severed ties with the Lu family and moved out.
Perhaps he was instrumental in Lin Xiaoxiao and Luo Qingming surviving back then.
Lin Xiaoxiao could think of this, and Wen Mo was no exception.
He recalled, "Back then, the most aggressive ones were the eldest brother Lu Zhong and the third brother Lu Ze. The second brother Lu Hua was the most cunning, the one who plotted behind the scenes. He pinched you and A Ming in front of me, which was probably the most outspoken thing he ever did."
Lu Hua is Lu Yunzhang's father.
"Fifth Brother Lu Cheng is in the same faction as the eldest brother, seventh Brother Lu Xian is in the same faction as the third brother, and only the sixth brother is not involved."
Speaking of the sixth brother, Lu Zhi, Wen Mo gritted his teeth. He was both grateful to him for saving the two children and hated him for keeping it a secret for twenty years. Even when he later questioned him about where he had disposed of the two children's bodies, he remained silent.
Lin Xiaoxiao said, "My adoptive mother said that she found both me and A-Ming next to a trash can."
Wen Mo clenched his fist. "When I get back to Beijing, I'll go see him as soon as possible."
Ask him why he would rather abandon the child than send him back.
“That’s not right, Dad.” Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly realized something. “They all say that you set fire to the Lu family’s house, Lu Zhong’s family, and Lu Ze’s children, killing them all.”
Wen Mo sneered, "I'm not that heartless. There's a cause for every wrong, and a debtor for every crime. Even if I were to kill, it would be my brothers. The youngest of them are only five or six years old. I can't bring myself to do that."
That fire took many lives.
The Lu family consists of four people, including two five-year-old children, Lu Yunfeng and Lu Yunping.
And Lu Ze's two sons, one of whom is not even a year old.
If it weren't for that fire, the Lu family wouldn't be in such an awkward situation now, with only Lu Yunzhang barely considered as the family's hope.
I wonder if Old Master Lu ever wakes up in the middle of the night, his pillow wet with tears, regretting that he didn't stop their greed back then.
Lin Xiaoxiao shuddered, her brows furrowing. "Who started the fire?"
It's impossible for a fire to start out of nowhere, especially at such a critical juncture.
Wen Mo didn't know either, but he was just one of his brothers.
This is also what he needs to investigate.
Lin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. So many years have passed, it wouldn't be so easy to investigate, especially since Lu Cheng and Lu Xian have been away in the Northwest for twenty years and haven't returned to Beijing even once.
"Don't worry." Wen Mo looked at her scrunched-up little face and said with a smile, "Daddy has a solution."
Lin Xiaoxiao felt a little relieved, but looking at Wen Mo's face, she hesitated and said, "Speaking of which, your face...aren't you going to cover it up?"
Going to Beijing with that face would probably cause a sensation.
Wen Mo touched his face and said disdainfully, "I just want to tell them openly and honestly that I'm back."
Those with guilty consciences, just wash your necks and wait.
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes shone like light bulbs.
Oh dear, she, who loves watching the excitement, couldn't wait any longer.
After leaving the study, I saw Luo Qingming sitting in the living room, seemingly flipping through something, while Wen Shiyu was fiddling with a vase.
"What are you doing?" She walked behind Luo Qingming and peeked inside.
Luo Qingming looked up. "Reading."
"Oh." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, glanced at the densely packed words, and said, "Ask me if you don't know any of the words."
There must be some characters he doesn't recognize.
Luo Qingming: "..."
Wen Shiyu chuckled softly.
The baby is so mischievous.
This isn't how you find topics to talk about.
"Xiaoxiao, come over and help Mommy see how the flowers are arranged?" After placing the last flower into the vase, Wen Shiyu looked at it from left to right and was very satisfied. She invited Lin Xiaoxiao to come and admire it.
"It looks great."
Lin Xiaoxiao truly admired her craftsmanship; she could create a unique feel by simply pairing simple flowers with a few blades of grass.
