Chapter 954 Sorry, I'm Late
Li Qingyan clenched his hands, which were covered in black ash: "As long as we search all the houses, we will know the answer."
Xiao Lingfeng had exactly this intention.
He was not simply kind-hearted, he just felt that the tragedy that had befallen the village might be related to Yu Jiu and his gang.
If we can find out what happened in this village, perhaps we can track down Yu Jiu's whereabouts.
Everyone worked overtime to dig out the ruins and was busy all night.
It was not until dawn the next day that they had finished digging out all the ruins in the village.
Beneath these ruins, there are many charred corpses. Each corpse was first killed with a single knife and then burned.
These charred corpses were carried out and placed together in an open space.
At first glance, there were charred corpses of all sizes. The smallest one was only the size of a baby. It seemed that it was just a premature baby, and it was brutally killed.
Even Xiao Lingfeng, a veteran of the battlefield, couldn't help but curse at this moment.
"This is so crazy!"
Li Qingyan suppressed his uncomfortable and collapsed mood and counted all the charred corpses, a total of 120 people.
He remembered that the total population of Dafu Village was only over a hundred.
Almost everyone in the village is here.
Li Qingyan's eyes were full of red bloodshot and his complexion looked extremely bad.
He didn't understand how much hatred would lead people to massacre the entire village, even sparing babies who were less than one month old!
Xiao Lingfeng asked in a low voice: "Should we wait for the coroner to come and examine them? Or should we bury these people directly?"
Li Qingyan: "Let's check it first."
Xiao Lingfeng ordered his men to go down the mountain immediately to inform the government and ask them to send someone over as soon as possible.
Afterwards, Xiao Lingfeng sent out two more teams to search around Dafu Village to see if they could find any useful clues.
The rest of the people rested in Dafu Village.
There were more than a hundred charred corpses lying nearby. No one was in the mood to cook, so they all ate the dry food they brought with them.
Li Qingyan had no appetite.
He stared blankly at the charred corpses.
Perhaps among these charred corpses, one is Yun Kexin.
The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it.
He regretted why he didn’t take Yun Kexin away with him?
If he had taken Yun Kexin away, she would not have died tragically.
Xiao Lingfeng came over and handed him a hard pancake.
"Eat something. If you don't eat, you won't have the energy to find out the truth."
After a long while, Li Qingyan raised his hand and took the pancake.
He whispered thank you.
Xiao Lingfeng: "The girl you want to propose to live in this village?"
Li Qingyan nodded.
Xiao Lingfeng showed sympathy: "My condolences."
Li Qingyan said nothing and started to eat the bread silently.
The bread was dry and hard, and really tasted terrible, but he seemed to be indifferent and kept chewing mechanically.
Xiao Lingfeng: "Does this village have any enemies? Do you have anyone you suspect?"
Li Qingyan shook his head: "I don't know either. I haven't been in this village for a long time, so I don't know if the people here have any enemies. I only know that this village is isolated from the outside world and basically doesn't interact with outsiders. Logically, there shouldn't be any enemies."
Xiao Lingfeng nodded: "In fact, I also don't think it's a revenge killing. If it is a revenge killing, it will usually be accompanied by revengeful beatings, but these villagers were killed with a single knife, and died quickly and cleanly."
As he spoke, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Li Qingyan frowned: "It's impossible for an ordinary person to kill with one blow. Those murderers are obviously professionally trained veterans."
Xiao Lingfeng expressed the guess that he had been thinking about for a long time.
“I guess it might have been done by those traitors.
Those rebels were a group of desperate criminals who committed murder and arson.
Perhaps they were accidentally discovered by the villagers here when they were hiding in the mountains.
In order to keep their whereabouts secret, they decided to kill the witnesses.”
This guess is reasonable.
Li Qingyan still had some doubts: "If they just wanted to silence the witness, would they kill even a baby less than a month old? Such a young child, let alone revealing their whereabouts, they can't even speak."
Xiao Lingfeng continued to speculate: "It's probably to wipe out the roots. Killing ten is killing, killing a hundred is killing. It doesn't make much difference to these traitors."
The two were discussing seriously when suddenly they heard the shouts of soldiers in the distance.
"General! We found two people!"
Xiao Lingfeng and Li Qingyan immediately stopped their discussion and looked in the direction of the voice.
A dozen soldiers and two wet women were walking towards this side.
Both were dressed like women, but one was slender and slim, while the other was plump.
They all lowered their heads, crossed their arms, trembled, and looked very panicked and terrified.
When they walked in, Li Qingyan's eyes immediately fixed on the slender and graceful young woman.
Even though she lowered her head and his entire face could not be seen clearly, Li Qingyan still recognized her at a glance. This was Yun Kexin!
Li Qingyan couldn't help but take two steps forward.
"satisfying!"
Because he was too excited, his voice was shaking.
Yun Kexin, who had her head down, stiffened when she heard the voice, and then suddenly raised her head.
Her little face was already pale, her lips were frozen purple, her whole body was wet, water was dripping from her hair and clothes, and her body was shaking constantly.
The moment she saw Li Qingyan, her eyes widened involuntarily, her lips trembled twice, and she actually uttered an extremely awkward monosyllable.
"ah!"
Xiao Lingfeng asked in surprise: "Do you know each other?"
Li Qingyan: "She is my wife."
Xiao Lingfeng: "But didn't you come here to propose marriage? How come she is your wife when we haven't even gotten married yet?"
“We’ve already been married before.”
After Li Qingyan explained this, he no longer cared about Xiao Lingfeng.
He walked over quickly, pulled Yun Kexin into his arms and hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry I'm late."
Yun Kexin felt the warmth from Li Qingyan, and her thin body, which had been shivering, gradually relaxed.
She thought of her mother who had died tragically, the village that had been burned down, and the relatives and friends she would never see again...
She couldn't help but feel sad and couldn't hold it in any longer, so she lay in Li Qingyan's arms and burst into tears.
Big tears rolled down, soaking Li Qingyan's clothes.
She cried heartbreakingly and was extremely desperate.
The other plump woman was infected by the incident and couldn't help but cover her face and sob.
Others looked at this scene and sighed.
The two cried for a long time, until they were tired and gradually stopped crying.
Li Qingyan let them enter the tents temporarily built by the soldiers, and took out two sets of clothes from the box he brought for them to change into.
