My mother has passed away.
Ah Qi's father was tortured to death by Qin Wuyu, a scene that Ah Qi remembered vividly.
On the execution platform before his father's death, Ah Qi was fortunate enough to say goodbye to his father.
“My mother is sick. After you were arrested, she cried every day and soon things went wrong.”
Ah Qi looked sadly at her father kneeling at the execution ground.
The father sighed deeply, "It's just a pity we've let him down, Pei Xuan, I've let you down."
Ah Qi understood that every word he was about to hear was crucial.
Who is Pei Xuan?
“Your Excellency, go to the capital and find him. Remember that,” At that moment, the disheveled man sitting opposite him took out a double-dragon jade pendant from his sleeve. The jade pendant was of a lustrous quality and looked priceless.
His father was worried that the handover would be noticed by the prison guards or cell bosses, so he acted very quickly.
The little guy barely saw what it was before.
"Go to the capital and find Pei Xuan. Have him send you to become a Kunpeng. My good Ah Qi, go! Don't worry about your father, go."
Ah Qi witnessed his father being killed.
It's clear that Father was wronged. It's clear that Qin Wuyu's purpose in killing Father was nothing more than to obtain Father's savings and seize everything he owned.
In reality, everyone understood this, but what's both laughable and pathetic is that not a single person stood up.
From then on, Ah Qi never took the initiative to help anyone again. He understood that he couldn't help anyone on his own, and he also understood that society was ridiculous and that helping others was extremely difficult.
Seeing that Ah Qi seemed to be thinking about something, Xu Yuehuai patted his head.
"Alright, stop overthinking."
"I see."
In reality, Xu Yuehuai was also conflicted.
She clearly saw countless corpses, yet she pretended not to see anything. How can she live with a clear conscience in the future?
Inn.
Liu Cuiming was very concerned about those ten taels of silver.
When Liu Cuiming noticed that Zhou Wan hadn't spent any money but instead had ten taels of silver to hand over to Xu Yuehuai, he became agitated.
This matter is known only to heaven, earth, and the parties involved. Next, she will be the one who knows the truth; she saw it by accident.
“I’m talking about Zhou Wan,” Liu Cuiming said, gesturing with her tongue, “He gave us all this money, so shouldn’t I get a share too?”
"you?"
"What are you saying? They've been generous, but we might not accept it. Besides, the money is for my mother and me, what does it have to do with you?"
Liu Cuiming had been sly and deceitful every day on his way here.
He is perfunctory in his work and also idles his time.
Zhou Wan naturally disliked her.
"No matter what, the money is indeed for everyone, and I am one of them. I have no objection to you handing it over to A-Yue, but how can you represent me by handing over my money as well? Your incorruptibility is Zhou Wan's business and has nothing to do with me, Liu Cuiming. Give me my money back!"
Liu Cuiming angrily went to snatch it.
Zhou Wan was no match for this shrew.
Originally, Liu Cuiming only intended to take her share, but she was incredibly lucky and managed to snatch all ten taels of silver.
She burst into laughter.
With ten taels of silver, she could stay and develop her career in one place. Why would she need to flee to another place to escape famine? Liu Cuiming kicked Zhou Wan away and ran downstairs.
At that moment, Xu Yuehuai and Aqi also walked in from outside.
Liu Cuiming ran out and bumped into Xu Yuehuai.
"Isn't Auntie blind? Why is she barging in like that?"
"Sorry, I have something to do." Liu Cuiming ran into the bustling crowd.
After Liu Cuiming left, Zhou Wan endured the excruciating pain and stood up. She hurried downstairs and saw Xu Yuehuai and Aqi.
"Mother, something terrible has happened! Liu Cuiming has stolen our money!"
Xu Yuehuai knew that Zhou Wan had been managing the finances all along.
In fact, she had calculated the balance and cash flow, and it seemed that they were out of money. But soon, Jiang Shichen appeared behind Zhou Wan and said, "Grandma, that was the ten taels of silver that Brother Qi lent us, and she took it all."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai became furious and turned to chase after Liu Cuiming.
Liu Cuiming was overjoyed to receive the silver and laughed heartily.
She ran and ran, knocking over many passersby, causing widespread anger and resentment.
"Hey, what are you doing, you crazy woman?" Liu Cuiming bumped into a rough man, who cursed loudly, but Liu Cuiming ignored him.
Even after she had gone far away, she could still seem to hear the man muttering, "Didn't he even realize he'd lost his own things?"
She finally arrived at a secluded place.
She was so happy that she hurriedly opened the package.
But at that critical moment, Liu Cuiming heard footsteps behind her. She hurriedly turned around, but before she could react, Xu Yuehuai had already grabbed her shoulder. Liu Cuiming was unable to move at all and screamed in pain.
Ah Qi snatched the package from Liu Cuiming's hand, but was almost bitten.
Just as everyone was at a stalemate, Liu Cuiming suddenly noticed something.
The package was so heavy just a moment ago, but now it's floating.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Oh dear!" Then all three of them looked into the pocket, only to find the package empty. Liu Cuiming immediately stood up, "Oh no! My things! Where are they? They're gone! Where did we lose them?"
At that moment, she seemed to have thought of something.
But it was too late.
"Where's the money?" Xu Yuehuai asked, looking at her empty pockets.
Liu Cuiming was immediately terrified and collapsed to the ground. She slapped herself repeatedly, saying, "Oh God, how would I know where the money went? It must have been lost just now."
"Are you sure it's lost and not that you hid it?" Ah Qi asked fiercely.
Liu Cuiming sighed deeply, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault."
In the end, Xu Yuehuai took her back.
In order to repent, admit his mistakes, and also as punishment, Xu Yuehuai arranged for Liu Cuiming to wash clothes and do hard and tiring work for everyone.
Liu Cuiming was in great pain, but there was nothing she could do but accept her fate.
Fortunately, Xu Yuehuai was good at making money. He did business and also performed acrobatics and magic tricks with Aqi, Jiang Shichen and others, which earned him money. Otherwise, he would have already run out of money.
It seems that disposing of the body is out of the question.
The group left Longshou Village, preparing to set up camp.
But in the dead of night, they encountered a group of ruthless bandits who robbed them without a word, leaving them even more destitute and pitiful than before.
The robbery occurred in the dead of night. The group of ruthless bandits came on horseback at breakneck speed, catching Xu Yuehuai completely off guard, so much so that she had no plan to resist at all.
The group left, leaving behind a scene of utter chaos.
Xu Yuehuai was furious and embarrassed, "They've gone too far!"
