"Master, there's a big bug outside. Everyone in the village is running to the village chief's house to hide. Should we go?"
When the attendant heard the sound, he immediately came in to report.
The Sixth Prince did not make a decision immediately, but asked: "Can our manpower destroy the big insect?"
The attendant answered without hesitation: "Yes, Master."
On the surface, the Sixth Prince only had two followers accompanying him in and out.
In fact, there are people protecting him in various hidden locations throughout the Lin family's old house, and these people are all masters.
In addition to these people, they also have their own people in the village.
"If that's okay, then you guys go ahead..."
After a whisper, the attendant went out.
The villagers of Yamada Village who were fleeing for their lives suddenly saw someone running in the opposite direction of them.
"Hey, there's a big bug ahead. Don't go there. Go hide in our village chief's house first."
Someone recognized that the person was not from the village and immediately tried to persuade him loudly and kindly.
"Run, don't go!"
Others also ran and shouted at their backs.
"We brothers have martial arts skills, we are not afraid, just run!"
Seeing that someone was about to step forward to stop him, the follower had to explain.
But the villagers didn't believe it until they saw the big tiger. Then they rushed forward and fought fiercely with the tiger.
"Let's go! They'll be fine." The villagers shouted at everyone to leave.
Despite this, their escape speed gradually slowed down until they reached the village chief's house and closed the door. The villagers could still see those people fighting with the big beast.
I don’t know how long it took.
There was a knock on the door of the village chief's house. Before the villagers could open the door, a shout rang out from outside:
"The big bug has been killed."
Upon hearing that the tiger had been killed, the villagers immediately opened the door.
"Did you kill the tiger by yourself?"
"It's not just him, I just saw five people."
"Not five, but six."
"I saw seven."
......
The villagers argued back and forth until the village chief finally interrupted them: "Thank you very much!"
The attendant stepped aside and said, "We thought we could quickly capture the tiger, but we were too arrogant and let the tiger enter the villagers' houses..."
"The damage to the house is a small matter..."
"It's not the house that was damaged, it's someone who was injured by the tiger's claws, and that person died on the spot." The follower quickly interrupted the village chief, looking very guilty.
His words instantly ignited the whole audience.
"Who died?"
"Didn't I notify everyone? Why hasn't anyone else come in to hide?"
"Everyone, come and see whose family is missing."
......
In an instant, the scene became chaotic.
Everyone went to look for their own family members and began to count the number of people.
"Excuse me, which family's people were injured?" The village chief was calmer and asked his followers directly.
The attendant pointed to the house not far away and said, "That's it."
The village chief looked in the direction he pointed, then turned and asked the crowd loudly:
"Lin Anxiang! Lin Anxiang! Is Lin Anxiang here?"
"He's here!"
Before Lin Anxiang could respond, someone in the crowd pointed out his location.
"Have all your family members escaped?" asked the village chief.
"Only my son and I came out." Lin Anxiang lowered his head and answered in a low voice.
Only his son and he, that is to say, Zhang from his family did not escape.
As for his daughter, they were from the same village, and they had long known that Lin Anxiang's daughter was now living with the two elders of the Lin family.
In the crowd, the villagers looked at Lin Anxiang.
He stood there quietly, his head lowered so his expression couldn't be seen. Because he didn't move around, people who didn't know him couldn't tell he was lame.
Lin Anxiang's home is very close to Village Chief Li's home. In fact, as long as one is willing, even a cripple can carry a sick person and escape.
But Lin Anxiang didn't do that.
What a ruthless person!
The villagers subconsciously stayed away from him.
For a moment, the place where he was standing became a vacuum zone.
It was because of this that everyone could see clearly that Lin Anxiang's arm had been injured at some point, and his hand was hanging around his neck, with circles of gauze wrapped around it.
"When did he injure his hand?"
Someone in the crowd whispered to the villagers around him.
If his leg was lame and his hand was injured, it would be understandable that he would not be able to take Zhang with him when he escaped.
"This evening," a witness replied. "I saw him climb onto the roof to repair it, but he rolled down and injured his hand. I helped him find a doctor."
It was common knowledge in the village that Lin Anxiang and the third branch of the Lin family were not getting along.
So when his neighbor saw Lin Anxiang injured and he didn't even look at his injured arm, he couldn't bear it anymore and went straight to find Lin Shiyu.
What the neighbor was thinking about most at the time was not the grudge between Lin Anxiang and Lin Shiyu, but Lin Bocai's child, the child who looked almost like his own child.
After someone explained, everyone's eyes changed immediately when they looked at Lin Anxiang again.
"My condolences!"
"My condolences!"
"My condolences!"
"Your wife is suffering if she lives like that, and she's a burden to you all. It's better for her to be gone. Don't be too sad."
The villagers comforted him.
Lin Anxiang stood there motionless, and at this moment he felt no emotion at all about Zhang's death.
So he didn't listen to what the villagers said.
Everyone just thought he was too sad, so they said a few words and then didn't dare to disturb him.
Everyone in the village knew that Lin Anxiang had put countless efforts into marrying Zhang. After the marriage, he always gave in to Zhang's wishes.
He even endured the fact that his eldest daughter was not his biological daughter and raised her for more than ten years.
Even after Zhang became paralyzed, he still stayed with her and everyone thought he still had feelings for her.
Although the tiger was killed, the villagers were still frightened and did not dare to go home for the time being.
The villagers chatted in the yard of the village chief's house until dawn before going home.
Lin Anxiang and his son also returned to their home.
Zhang was still lying on the bed, her frightened eyes frozen at that moment.
Lin Anxiang looked down at her for a moment, and finally reached out to help her close her eyes.
He saw the wound on Zhang's neck.
The wound didn't look like one caused by an animal's claws, but more like one caused by a blunt object. Lin Anxiang, who had hunted in his youth, could tell the difference.
But......
So what if you can identify it?
The person who killed him was extremely powerful. Lin Anru, who was already a juren, had to remain respectful when facing that person. How could he have the ability to ask for an explanation?
Even if he had the ability, he didn't want to go. He and Zhang had been entangled in a fateful relationship for half their lives.
Zhang died and she was free.
Their family members were also relieved.
