Chapter 99 The Culprit

Liang Huanxue was not surprised at all. She made a gesture to the people hiding in the dark. That was what they had agreed on before, asking them to stay calm and not to act hastily.

If there was any real danger, she would signal again.

Liang Huanxue had been unable to hold back and wanted to step forward, but when she saw Liang Huanxue's gesture, she was afraid that if she stepped forward now, it would give them the opportunity to take hostages, so she had to give up.

"What's going on in Tagang Village? Why are they forcibly detaining outsiders? Normally, when people in a village see someone fleeing famine, they would want them to leave immediately. Isn't this too unusual?" Liang Yuanliang was full of doubts.

"I'm afraid my cousin didn't tell the truth. Things in this village are not as simple as she said." Liang Huanxue wanted to find Zhou to find out, but she was afraid of alerting the enemy.

What if this is an elaborate trap?

Old Mrs. Liang and Liang Huanxue were brought into the yard.

There was a huge incense burner in the middle of the yard, with a faint fragrance emanating from it.

The fragrance was refreshing and made people happy both physically and mentally. My originally impatient heart calmed down in an instant.

Liang Huanxue realized something was wrong at the moment she relaxed.

That fragrance was definitely not a good thing, so she immediately put her fingers to her lips and drank two sips of the spiritual spring water.

Then he gently tugged at Mrs. Liang's clothes and put his fingers to her lips.

"There's something wrong with the incense burner."

"It hurts! It hurts so much!"

The aunt's eyes widened and she almost couldn't help but raise her hand to slap Liang Huanxue.

But she finally held back and said, "How can I feel bad? This is a gift from God, a rare good thing that most people can't even enjoy."

But Liang Huanxue was crying and making a fuss, and was not at all soothed by the aroma emanating from the incense burner.

"Huanxue, don't cry, let's go out." Seeing this, Mrs. Liang immediately took Liang Huanxue out.

This time, no one stopped them and they walked out of the yard smoothly.

After coming outside, Liang Huanxue seemed to have finally recovered. She burped several times, leaned on Old Lady Liang's shoulder, and whispered, "We haven't seen the most important person yet."

"I'm afraid this is simply a trap." Old Mrs. Liang's hand trembled slightly as she held Liang Huanxue.

She should have been alert when Zhou suddenly came to her house.

It took at least two hours to walk from Tagang Village to Liang's house. She came under the scorching sun and was able to speak when she arrived at Liang's house.

This is nothing short of a miracle.

Even if she was eager to save her daughter and there was a force in her heart supporting her, she was afraid that it would not last that long.

"Grandma, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Liang Huanxue naturally felt the trembling hands of Grandma Liang.

It doesn't matter if it's a trap, she just wants to see what these people are up to.

"You can see that Huanxue can't stay here at all. Let's go." Old Mrs. Liang said as she turned back.

Just as he was about to reach Liang Huanxue, a dog barked suddenly from behind.

In the quiet night, the barking of a dog is enough to make one's legs tremble.

Old Mrs. Liang stopped involuntarily.

But she didn't dare to look back, or see what kind of vicious dog was behind her that wanted to pounce on her and bite her.

Liang Huanxue couldn't help wanting to get up. Seeing this, Liang Huanxue hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Dad, don't move!"

Then she looked up at the ferocious dog and whistled softly.

When the vicious dog heard the voice, it wagged its tail to please her and even turned around in a circle.

Liang Huanxue whistled again, and the vicious dog showed its previous ferocious look again, but now it was not directed at Liang Huanxue, but at the people behind it.

"Ah Hui, what are you doing? Hurry up..."

Before the scholar could finish his words, the vicious dog pounced on him and started biting him.

When the others saw this, they immediately fled in all directions, and no one came forward to save him.

At this moment, a man came up with a sword and stabbed the dog in the vitals. The dog twitched twice and then became silent.

The man was wearing a Taoist robe and looked very righteous.

But there was a hint of evil in it.

"Thank you, Master Linchuan, for saving my life." The scholar, who was bitten all over by the vicious dog, looked up at the person who saved him and knelt on the ground to express his gratitude.

When Liang Huanxue saw his action, she became more certain of her judgment.

This Taoist-looking man is the main culprit.

Linchuan?

I'm afraid it's some evil trick.

"Why don't you take him to get treated?" Linchuan had just finished speaking when the people who had just dodged surrounded him. Two of them lifted the scholar up, and the others told him the whole story.

"I don't think this man looks like a real Taoist priest." Old Mrs. Liang whispered in Liang Huanxue's ear.

"Because he was fake from the beginning." Liang Huanxue stared at him for a long time. Not only did the evil spirit not disappear, but it became stronger and stronger.

Linchuan naturally noticed Liang Huanxue's gaze. He really didn't expect that this little girl would be so brave.

Not only is he courageous, he is also very capable.

With just two whistles, the vicious dog was controlled and prevented from hurting people.

He had never seen such a powerful person.

What's more, the other person looks only four or five years old.

"Since you are here to escape, you must have been hungry for a long time. Take these and eat them." Linchuan brought two steamed buns from somewhere. They were white and gave off an alluring aroma.

Liang Huanxue nodded to Old Lady Liang before she took the steamed bun.

There is nothing wrong with the steamed buns, and they are very appetizing.

Especially those who have been hungry for a long time will have no way to resist.

Liang Huanxue took a light bite and frowned slightly.

This is indeed steamed bread, but it is not just steamed bread. There is something added inside, which is the same as the fragrance smelled before, and it will disturb people's mind.

Liang Huanxue spat out the steamed bun in her mouth and complained with a pout: "Grandma, this steamed bun is bitter and not tasty."

"This steamed bun is fragrant and sweet, how can it be bitter? I see you just don't accept it!" When the villagers saw that Liang Huanxue complained about the bitterness of the steamed bun, they immediately stepped forward and took away the two steamed buns given by Linchuan.

Several people scrambled to eat the two steamed buns.

It was like being possessed by evil spirits, and it was terrifying.

"Who...are you?" Lin Chuan looked at Liang Huanxue, his voice suddenly turning cold.

Liang Huanxue shrank in Old Lady Liang's arms, seeming to be extremely scared.

"What about you? Who are you?" Old Mrs. Liang hugged Liang Huanxue tighter, with an expression of protecting her child.

Before Linchuan could even open his mouth, the people around him started cursing at him.

They said he was a master, a savior, and their lifesaver. Without him, all the people in Tagang Village would have died long ago.
