Chapter 168 Arrival at Jincheng
After Wang Fugui slowly woke up, he stared blankly at the sky above.
Then his memory came back to him, and he suddenly jumped up, rushed into the water chestnut forest, first found his wife, and used all his strength to wake her up.
"Boss, what happened? Why did I fall asleep?" Sun Xiaomai asked in horror.
Then he looked at the others lying sprawled on the ground, and wondered with even greater fear: "Could we have encountered some evil spirit?"
Wang Fugui slapped him hard and said angrily, "What evil is this? You only know evil is happening to you. It's all Shen Qing's fault.
Go, before the others wake up, let's quickly turn them over and leave no one behind!"
Sun Xiaomai didn't understand and wanted to ask why Shen Qing did it and how he did it, but she had just been slapped and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
But, "Why turn them over?" The puddle was as low as the ankles and as high as the calves. No matter where it was, they could lie there without any worries. If they turned over in a fainted state, they would drown.
Wang Fugui wanted to slap him again. He kept turning the man over and cursed in a low voice, "You will die of stupidity sooner or later!
All our money was taken away by that vicious woman Shen Qing, and Huo Bingren is still alive and well. We didn't kill him, but our money is gone again.
Those two guys who came here claiming to be helping us, aren't they actually just watching us? What are they going to take back with them? Besides our lives!
And these refugees we invited here, haven't you heard that if we can't get the money, they'll take our heads? Are you going to watch them die or do you want us to die? "
Sun Xiaomai reacted in shock, quickly followed Wang Fugui's steps, and turned the man over with great effort.
In shallow puddles, people would push their heads in, fearing they wouldn't drown.
There's no way, if they don't die, it will cost them both their lives! Then don't blame her for being cruel.
The two men worked together to turn over more than ten people one by one, and then stood guard beside them. If anyone woke up and struggled, they would immediately hold down their heads until they could no longer move...
Qiu Yi and Nanny Lai waited from dawn to dusk, but no one they had sent out came back to report.
Qiu Yi paced and looked out the door, feeling increasingly uneasy: "What's going on?"
Nanny Lai consoled her, "Perhaps something delayed him? Didn't Wang Fugui find out clearly? Huo Bing and the other girls go out to dig wild vegetables every day. How can a woman be a match for a man?"
Women are naturally weaker than men, and the money they gave was sufficient for Wang Fugui to find hundreds of disaster victims without any problem.
Even if Wang Fugui was greedy for money, it would be more than enough for him to find only a hundred people to deal with Huo Bing and her group of women!
Qiu Yi thought about it and said, "You are right. She is not as skilled in martial arts as her mother. She fell into a poor farmer's family at a young age. Her life is ruined.
We can either let her die quickly, or she can be reborn into a good family soon, or go to the underworld to reminisce with her dead mother, haha~"
Nanny Lai shrank back and didn't respond.
The heroic daughter of a general's family married a civil official named Song Shu. Their daughter was also a precious young lady, but out of kindness, she saved the woman in front of her. As a result, her husband was seduced away, her family was lost, and she was trapped in a difficult situation. Her only daughter suffered untold hardships and pain...
As the old saying goes, killing people and setting fires brings you a golden belt. Aunt Qiu is very powerful, so I have to hold on to her thighs tightly. Huo Qinglin couldn't beat her, and Huo Bing is even less likely to beat her!
She is the nemesis of the Huo family mother and daughter, and also the noble person who can allow her to enjoy wealth and glory!
After waiting all night, the next day the person they sent still hadn't replied, and the two finally realized something was wrong.
Unfortunately, this is not the capital, and the number of people brought is insufficient, so he urgently found two servants to go out and investigate.
After half a day, he returned and said, "I couldn't find anyone from Qili Village, nor did I find anyone named Huo Bing."
"Some people have seen Wang Fugui, but no one knows where he is."
"They're collecting disaster relief grain outside, and it's a mess everywhere. Finding the two guards who haven't returned is like looking for a needle in a haystack. There's no way to even begin."
.....
Qiu Yi fell into the chair.
Nanny Lai said anxiously, "What should we do? We were so hasty preparing the day before yesterday that we forgot to ask Wang Fugui for more details. Thousands of disaster victims are scattered all over the place. How can we find out about a woman whose name is only known?"
You should know that many women are not even registered as residents and have never left the village in their entire lives. Others only know where she comes from, but have no idea what her name is.
"Especially, has Wang Fugui already alerted the enemy? If so, wouldn't Huo Bing have run even further away?"
"Why don't we just forget about it? Huo Bing has already become a peasant woman. For the rest of her life, let alone going to the capital, I'm afraid she won't even leave the village. Let's not bother with it. It won't affect your status anyway!"
Qiu Yi's teeth creaked as he bit them, his brows turned cold as he said sternly, "No, I won't be at peace until she's dead!"
"It's hard to find out about Huo Bing. Wang Fugui can escape, but the monk can't. As long as we find Wang Fugui, we can ask him to take us to Huo Bing."
"You, you, go ask about Wang Fugui from Shili Village again!"
The victims could barely survive without the relief food from Wen'an City, but if they arrived at the receiving city and did not collect the tools for clearing the wasteland, seeds, and food rations for the winter, they would not be able to survive at all!
Wang Fugui and others must be registered with the government, so you just need to ask at the government office.
Huo Qinglin could not live, and Huo Bing had to die too, because the fortune teller said that she was a daughter of the Huo family, both her success and her failure were due to the Huo family. If Huo Bing still had the surname Song, she could have spared her life, but she chose to change her surname to Huo, so she would surely die.
Oh, the daughter of the Huo family, she wanted to slap the fortune teller in the face and let him know that he can also be wrong sometimes...

Unlike the previous journey when they took time to make brushes, the people of Qili Village were still trying their best to travel even though there was no danger anymore.
With the addition of twelve donkeys, they no longer had to pull heavy carts or carry heavy backpacks, and their pace was correspondingly faster.
The journey, originally estimated to take twenty days, only took sixteen days.
On August 10th, the people of Qili Village arrived in Jincheng. They had originally thought about changing locations, but the cities that received the victims were fixed, so even if they went somewhere else, they could still be found.
Secondly, the most dangerous place is also the safest. What they need is time to prepare, so the sooner they get there, the better, and the later they can confuse their opponents and find them, the better.
More than 160 people naturally would not stay in an inn in the city. Fortunately, they had rich experience in sleeping in the wild along the way, so once they found a suitable place, everyone immediately divided the work among themselves with great skill.
Xu Hongmei rubbed her arms and joined the group of women, chatting: "Do you think Jincheng is much colder than our place? My clothes are not thin, but I already have goose bumps on my arms."
