Chapter Fifty-Two: The Bizarre Performance
Sure enough, the young man with the gun turned around, looked at Mu Qingyu with a half-smile, and said in a lecturing tone, "You can only leave when our boss tells you to. Understand?"
"And also," he pointed to the motorcycle Mu Qingyu and the others had parked outside the yard, "we've confiscated that too. Stop talking nonsense and come with us right now. Don't be so stubborn!
The young man's words were quite impolite, causing Mu Qingrong to frown. Mu Qingyu gently tugged at him, stopping him from speaking. Then, she gave a helpless "Oh," and obediently followed the group.
The young man led the way, while four or five people surrounded Mu Qingyu and her brother to prevent them from escaping, and the remaining two people went to ride the two motorcycles.
The group headed toward the center of the village. Along the way, Mu Qingyu noticed that the young man would occasionally nod slightly in certain directions as if he were greeting someone.
Mu Qingyu knew that the places the young man was looking at were probably hiding sentries. No wonder she and Mu Qingrong were served dumplings not long after entering the village.
At the center of the village stands a large ancestral hall, with the four characters "Han Clan Ancestral Hall" inscribed on a plaque. It seems that most of the villagers in this village share the surname Han.
Upon entering the ancestral hall, the main hall had been renovated, now resembling a meeting hall of a mountain stronghold. Mu Qingyu imagined the scene of bandits holding a meeting and couldn't help but find it amusing.
"Boss, we caught two brats!" The young man shouted loudly at the middle-aged man in the head seat as soon as he entered the room.
The middle-aged man, who looked to be in his early thirties, sat in the head seat with an air of importance, dressed in a clean Zhongshan suit.
Mu Qingyu met his gaze and found his eyes extremely sharp. She immediately suppressed her wandering thoughts and became serious and solemn.
But even though Mu Qingyu quickly looked away, the leading man noticed that of the two new people they had captured today, the girl wasn't afraid at all.
They've arrested several groups of people recently, all sorts of people. Some were so scared they wet themselves and begged for mercy on their knees; others thought it was the past and threw tantrums, yelling that they'd call the police; still others came on the scene fawning over them, trying to get something for themselves...
But no matter what, those people were surrounded and brought here by armed men, and they were all more or less afraid.
He saw no fear or dread in the young girl before him. In that brief moment of eye contact, her eyes even held a hint of curiosity, which she quickly concealed.
The boy behind her, however, seemed rather cautious.
"Welcome! From today onwards, you will be joining our big family." The man said the same thing he said to everyone.
“My surname is Gu, but you can call me Chief or Father from now on.” The man smiled, his smile kind.
Wait a minute! Something's not right here! Did he pick up the wrong script? Mu Qingyu was a little confused by his words.
Aren't they a village self-governing organization? Shouldn't he be condemning them for invading the village and demanding compensation or something like that?
What's the plot like now?
Mu Qingyu turned to look at Mu Qingrong, who also looked confused.
"Hurry up and thank the Chief for letting you join!" The young man rudely hit Mu Qingyu on the back with the butt of his gun.
Before Mu Qingyu could react, a fawning voice said, "Father, my respected father, let that girl come into our family. Our family is just missing a daughter."
Mu Qingyu looked up and saw that the man who was speaking was already over forty years old, but he was still standing in front of the man surnamed Gu with a smile and a bow, affectionately calling him "father"...
Mu Qingyu could barely hide the disgust on her face, and Mu Qingrong was also shocked.
However, at the same time, Mu Qingyu felt that the fawning man's voice sounded somewhat familiar.
"Little sister, from today onwards, you are my little sister!" A young man excitedly ran towards Mu Qingyu, his face beaming with enthusiasm, as if he were performing in a play.
Upon seeing this young man, Mu Qingyu finally remembered who they were!
The obsequious man was the one who had shouted and yelled in the distance when Mu Qingyu last visited this village! And the young man in front of her who called her "sister" was the one who had thrown a bottle at her and almost hit her!
Even behind the fawning man, Mu Qingyu saw the woman who was trying to morally blackmail her!
Holy crap! All three of them are perfectly alive! They're still alive!
The young man lunged at Mu Qingyu, but Mu Qingrong naturally couldn't allow it, so he quickly stepped in front of his sister to shield her.
Before Mu Qingrong could push the man away, the young man with the hunting rifle went up and smashed the two gun butts, knocking the man aside: "Damn! The boss hasn't even said anything yet, and you guys dare to make decisions on your own!"
After saying that, even though the man had already fallen to the ground, he still went up and hit the man's forehead with the butt of his rifle, smashing the young man's forehead until it cracked and bled profusely.
The young man was not angry at all. Instead, he knelt down and rubbed his hands together, apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Brother Qi, I was wrong, I was wrong."
Then he turned to the man surnamed Gu at the head of the table and said in the same manner, "Respected Father, I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me."
This series of bizarre art styles made Mu Qingyu's eyelids twitch. She felt that these people seemed a bit abnormal, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"Sister, are they performing a play?" Mu Qingrong whispered in Mu Qingyu's ear in a very low voice.
To everyone's surprise, his shoulder was also hit by the butt of a rifle. Mu Qingrong let out a cry of "Ouch!" and his body leaned slightly to the side.
Mu Qingyu grabbed her younger brother, and her expression immediately changed! She looked at the young man with the gun with the eyes of someone looking at a dead man.
She didn't care that the man hit her. Besides increased strength and speed, mutants also have enhanced physical attributes, so she didn't feel much pain from the gun butt that hit her!
But you can't hit her younger brother!
Mu Qingyu has begun to observe and assess the possibility of defeating these people and leaving this place with her younger brother.
There were actually quite a few people in the hall. On each side of the hall, two rows of people sat neatly on long benches, their backs ramrod straight.
Judging from the fact that the sycophantic man was originally sitting in this group, he was probably a native of the village, and there were likely other people like the siblings who had been captured.
In short, this group doesn't seem to pose any real threat.
