Chapter 97: A Fire That Dispels the Darkness
Song Yu was awakened by the thick smoke.
"Boss, Boss, something happened!!"
The door was kicked open and Song Yu suddenly opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw thick smoke billowing in from all directions, and he immediately started coughing violently.
"Cough cough cough, what's going on?" Song Yu has been exhausted these days and it is a rare opportunity for him to get a night's rest.
"Did the soldiers set fire to the mountain?" Song Yu quickly put on his clothes and went out.
There were also people who set fire to attack the mountain, but Fufeng Mountain colluded with Fufeng Village, and the bandits threatened the lives of hundreds of people in Fufeng Village, forcing the officers and soldiers to retreat.
The imperial court prides itself on justice and will never disregard the lives of the people.
Song Yu was about to use the same trick again when he saw the other party's face was filled with fear.
There was even a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Boss, Fufeng Village has been burned down."
"The fire started directly from Fufeng Village!" the voice trembled.
Hundreds of people in Fufeng Village, including the elderly, the weak, women and children, were all there.
Song Yu suddenly paused.
It can't be the court.
He went out quickly and looked up, only to see that the sun was obscured by thick smoke and he couldn't see his hand in front of him.
There were violent coughing sounds everywhere.
Song Yu's heart sank again and again.
The fire is too big.
"Is there any way to bring water to put out the fire?" There are several water sources on the mountain.
The second in command coughed and vomited, holding a wet towel in his hand, his eyes red: "The water source is gone, all gone overnight."
"And the fire was coming from all directions, so there was no way out."
The third in command rushed over madly at this moment.
His hand was still wrapped in gauze.
"The warehouse, the warehouse has been emptied!!" When the third in command said this, everyone was shocked.
"What happened? No one went up the mountain last night! Is there an insider in our village? Otherwise, how could there be fires everywhere and the warehouse was robbed?" The second in command was so angry that he felt dizzy.
All the belongings, all the belongings looted from Fufeng Mountain!
For some reason, Song Yu thought of the little girl with the innocent smile on her face.
"Lu Chaochao, have you sent him down the mountain?"
"I sent him down the mountain. I personally sent him to the city gate and then left quickly." The second in command looked certain.
Song Yu didn't have time to think about it: "Fufeng Mountain can't be saved. Quick, take the brothers down the mountain!"
The whole city was on fire and there was nowhere to stay.
And at this moment, Fufeng Village is even more terrifying.
The screams and wails were like a purgatory.
The other side of the mountain.
Xuanyin was dressed in tight clothes, holding Lu Chaochao in her arms, and followed by seven or eight young women, some of whom were holding their skinny daughters' hands.
There was no wave in his eyes, like a pool of stagnant water.
"You...you guys need to take a break? Your feet are bleeding from being rubbed by the stones." Xuanyin asked in a low voice.
When she was abducted to the mountains, she found that the people in the village were ignorant and unproductive.
The whole village is engaged in fraud and deception.
Most of the women in the village were abducted.
If they want to escape, I will break their legs until they surrender. If she still wanted to escape, she would be tied up at the entrance of the village and become a pet of all the men in the village.
A daughter born can be sold or exchanged for a dowry, and is just an item that can be replaced at will.
The son born became the treasure of the village.
Generation after generation, the sons born also became the culprits of trafficking in women.
What’s even more terrifying is that the people who trafficked them were once trafficked themselves.
They got used to everything in the village, and they changed from victims to perpetrators.
The thin girl snuggled up to her mother, looking at everything around her in fear.
"They won't chase us out, will they?" someone asked in a low voice.
"Of course not. Even if we get out... there are wolves guarding outside." Even if we do everything we can to escape, we will just become food for the wild beasts.
Woo woo woo…
There were soft sobs from the crowd.
"I... I was just sending her home because she was pregnant. Why did she knock me out? Why did she abduct and sell me?" The woman sat on the ground, pounding the ground.
He looked desperate and crazy.
"I'm just sending a lost child home...why are you doing this to me?"
"I was knocked unconscious while walking on the street..."
Sobbing sounds rose one after another. They were all denouncing the unfairness of fate, the inhumanity of Fufeng Village, and their own kindness.
"Why, why do you have to do this to me? What did I do wrong? I have to go to hell, why?!"
"What's the point of living? I was abducted to Fufeng Village and have already lost my reputation. When I go back, I will only be a piece of white silk." The women's faces were dejected.
Everything they have experienced will only become a sharp sword that seriously injures them even if they escape.
"Won't……"
"Someone knows." Lu Chaochao lay in Xuanyin's arms.
"It would be good if they all died..." It was the first time she spoke a long sentence, and she stumbled a little, but everyone understood.
"Wo, I will not let anyone go!" Lu Chaochao's eyes were burning.
She has accumulated a lot of merits and can see the good and evil in everyone.
The only good thoughts in Fufeng Village are all here.
That's ridiculous.
Even children are perpetrators.
"If you are afraid to go home, you can follow me. I cannot guarantee you wealth and glory, but I can ensure that you will have enough food and clothing, that's no problem." Xuanyin hugged Chaochao tightly. If she had not met Chaochao, she would have been treated the same way.
She was originally a princess sent to Beizhao for marriage.
She was not favored at home, so she came to Beizhao to marry in place of her elder sister. Before entering the capital, he secretly changed clothes with a maid, wanting to see the city of Beizhao.
Unexpectedly, he was kidnapped as soon as he went out.
Lu Chaochao stretched out her little hand toward the woman on the ground.
"Welcome back to the world." The little guy spoke softly, but his eyes were extremely firm.
Just one sentence was enough to pull them back from the brink of collapse.
Everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lu Chaozhao.
Lu Chaochao never refused.
This will make them feel better.
"Let's go quickly, there are people waiting for us down the mountain." Xuanyin held Chaochao and led the others down the mountain.
The entire Fufeng Mountain was ablaze with flames.
Lu Chaochao looked calm.
The countless cries for help and the painful howls in the fire did not make her feel any pity.
Although she is small, she is not stupid.
She is not a saint, but she will try her best to drive away the darkness before her.
At the foot of the mountain.
Xu stood in the cold wind with red and swollen eyes. When she saw Lu Chaochao, tears burst out.
"Chao Chao! Chao Chao..." Xu rushed forward, her body icy cold, and cried bitterly while hugging her lost and found daughter.
"Damn Chao Chao, you've suffered. I deserve to die. I failed to protect Chao Chao..."
"It's all mother's fault. Chaochao was abducted and suffered. Chaochao, you've lost weight..." Xu hugged her tightly and never dared to let go.
Chao Chao pinched the tight clothes around her waist and smiled embarrassedly.
She, she also emptied the vault in Fufeng Mountain.
"Quick, catch Song Yu."
At the foot of the mountain, Song Yu looked at Lu Chaochao steadily.
Behind the innocent smile is a flame shooting up into the sky.
Fufeng Mountain was destroyed.
Oh no, you jerk dad, I’m going to enrich my family.
It's your turn to tremble!
