Arson?
So it turns out the husband did this?
Oh my god!
how so?
Liu Hongmei was very surprised and scared. She covered her mouth, worried that she would lose control and make a sound.
"Calm down, don't say anything reckless. If something happens to me, you won't have an easy time either." Lu Miao raised his right hand, remaining vigilant.
He would cover her mouth whenever she made a sound.
Five minutes later...
Liu Hongmei thought for a long time before calming down, her sallow face turning as white as a sheet of paper.
"Husband, how could you do such a thing? Are you crazy? Arson is the most serious crime. Burning down your second brother's new house is one thing, but if a spark spreads to other people's houses and kills a few more, you'll be sentenced to death, do you know that?"
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she sobbed softly.
If he goes to jail, will she still have a chance to survive in the countryside?
Without a son to rely on, she only had a few daughters and was unable to protect the family property. The house and several acres of land were inevitably taken away by her fourth son, Lu Yao.
"Don't cry, it's okay. I didn't leave any evidence, and Lu Yong didn't see my face. I definitely won't be discovered. Even if I am, I can escape to those poor border areas. The police definitely won't be able to catch me there."
After thinking for a day, Lu Miao finally found a few suitable places for him to escape.
Even with his words of comfort, Liu Hongmei was still terrified.
"Although I felt quite pleased when you burned down that family's new house, didn't you notice that everyone who offended them was thrown into jail? You still dare to do it?"
"I..." Lu Miao was stunned. Thinking back on the past few months, he realized that his elder brother's family, the village chief's family, and even He Lijuan had all been driven to the brink of mental illness and were sent to the police station the day before yesterday.
"This is terrible! Even the He family has been targeted. If they find out it was me, won't they send me to jail for a few years?"
"Look at you, you've been so afraid of this and that these past few days. Anyone can tell there's something wrong with you. I'm afraid Lu Chun and the others have become suspicious after they met you."
Liu Hongmei suddenly felt sorry for her husband, seeing that he had lost several pounds in the past few days because he was so scared that he hadn't been eating or drinking.
"Don't be so nervous right now, it'll be alright. Even if something really happens, I'll take the kids to kneel down and kowtow to them, and I don't believe they'll dare to arrest you again. If they really do, I'll take a rope and hang myself in their house with my daughters."
This "his family" naturally refers to Lu Sen.
"Yes, I need to stay calm and not panic. As long as this is over and I'm safe and sound, I definitely won't provoke them again."
Saving your life is the most important thing.
Lu Miao closed his eyes, his expression solemn.
He was imagining what would happen in the future, such as his arson being discovered and how he would escape punishment.
His wife's method would definitely work well; if that didn't work, he would flee to the border region.
I don't believe my second brother could be so cold-blooded and heartless as to watch his third brother's wife and several children kneel down and kowtow over such a trivial matter, and then hang herself with a rope.
They would also have to go to jail, or even spend their lives on the run, suffering hardship and torment.
...
A few stars twinkled in the night sky, while the moon hid behind the clouds.
At the foot of Shenxian Mountain
Three figures appeared.
"Boss, are we really going up there tonight?" The boy was 1.75 meters tall, which was like an ant compared to a plane compared to the sacred mountain.
He Sichen turned his head to look at Fang Xing, a smirk playing on his lips: "Scared?"
"I...what am I afraid of! I'm very capable." Fang Xing stiffened his neck, suppressing the tension and fear in his heart.
The Immortal Mountain is home to extraordinary people with unique abilities; there are good people and bad people.
If he and the leader go up the mountain, will they attract a group of people who will attack them?
He Sichen saw right through Fang Xing's thoughts and sneered, "I told you to train hard these past few days, but you just wouldn't listen. We have to go up the mountain tonight and teach you a lesson."
After drinking the magic water several times in the past few days, Fang Xing and Han Ling's strength has greatly increased.
Despite this, Fang Xing still slacked off.
Their strength is inferior to Han Ling's.
Among all the cultivators on Shenxian Mountain, his strength was undoubtedly like an egg hitting a rock.
"Boss, I was wrong." Fang Xing said with a bitter face, raising his hands in surrender.
He was immediately attacked by He Sichen with a kick.
"You go first!" An order that cannot be disobeyed.
"Boss..." How pitiful.
Fang Xing turned to look at Han Ling, hoping that he could put in a good word for him.
As a result, he didn't even glance at it.
Han Ling: What does this have to do with me? Anyway, you go up the mountain first.
Fang Xing: Are we still brothers?
Han Ling: No!
Fang Xing: Holy crap #￥%&*…… (spews profanities for an hour)
The mountain is so terrifying, and he's only ten years old, still a baby. How could he not be scared?
A month ago, after drinking the magic water given to him by the boss, he activated his fire-type superpower.
The leader also said that in fourteen years, the global spiritual energy will be revived.
The "Third World War" will inevitably begin then.
He Sichen's dark eyes reflected the misty, immortal mountain. Through his powerful spiritual energy, he could already see several cultivators emerging to cultivate.
The moonlight at night is what they need most.
He struggled with the decision to march into Shenxian Mountain for a long time. His reasons were twofold: first, to assess the situation at Shenxian Mountain, and second, to test his own strength.
To become strong, you must spar with strong opponents.
Only on the Immortal Mountain can one find an opponent to fight.
"Boss, if there's danger later, you have to protect me. I have an elderly mother and a younger sister to support."
Fang Xing walked ahead, muttering to himself, which made He Sichen kick him again.
