Chapter 771 Returning to Congxin (Supplement 5.04)

Lin Shuanglan, Feng Anan, and Tu Xiaoxi were all in the backyard of the Lin family.

Lin Shuanglan clutched her hands and walked back and forth.

Feng An'an's eyes were red, and he was sitting on the stone steps, crying all the time.

Tu Xiaoxi was relatively calm, looking up at Lin Shuanglan who was walking around from time to time.

Wang Pan knocked on the door lightly, and Lin Shuanglan hurriedly stepped forward to open the back door.

Feng An'an and Tu Xiaoxi stood up at the same time and looked at her.

"It's terrible," Wang Pan said with a pale face. "It's as if the Bai family has been ransacked. The mothers of Wu Niang and Liu Niang were beaten terribly!"

"Oh my god!" Feng An'an reached out and covered his mouth.

"I guessed it would be like this!" Lin Shuanglan said anxiously, "What about the man on the mountain?"

"He was taken away! Many people grabbed him down!"

"I'm so scared," Feng An'an said with a trembling voice, "If Wu Niang and Liu Niang are caught, will they be..."

She dared not go on.

"Didn't you say you hate them?" Wang Pan looked at Feng An'an.

"I was angry! Whoever puts it aside, who is not angry!" Feng Anan cried.

"But, will they find us?" Tu Xiaoxi asked.

The three girls looked back at her.

Tu Xiaoxi looked at them: "If we find out that we let Wu Niang and Liu Niang go, how will they deal with us?"

Just now Wang Pan went to his cousin's house to deliver embroidery, and accidentally ran into Mr. Zhan who was calling for people, so she immediately turned to look for Lin Shuanglan.

Lin Shuanglan knew something was wrong, so she let Bai Wuniang and Bai Liuniang run first, and they were all present.

"It can't be found!" Feng Anan said immediately, "Tu Xiaoxi, you can't leak this matter, if you tell, we will all be finished!"

Tu Xiaoxi raised his brows lightly and nodded.

At this moment, there was another knock on the backyard door.

Lin Shuanglan stepped forward to open it. It was a militia captain in the village.

Lin Shuanglan's face darkened, and she said coldly: "Liu Sanlang, what are you doing?"

"Da Lanzi, the generals want me to come to you for questioning," Liu Sanlang looked at her, "Where are Bai Wuniang and Bai Liuniang?"

"I don't know, I didn't see them today!" After speaking, Lin Shuanglan closed the door directly.

The moment before closing the door, several men stepped forward and pushed the door open.

Lin Shuanglan's strength was not as strong as theirs, but fortunately Wang Pan supported her in time, otherwise she would have been knocked to the ground by this force.

The militiamen who had a good relationship with Lin Shuanglan on weekdays, one by one, broke in directly and started searching.

"What are you doing!" Lin Shuanglan said angrily, "This is my house, you should give my father some face!"

"General Lin agrees!" Liu Sanlang said while searching.

Feng An'an, Wang Pan, and Tu Xiaoxi immediately looked at Lin Shuanglan.

Even Lin Sanye agreed. It can be seen that no one can take care of this matter for them anymore.

This is really touching the bottom line of the village.

The sky is getting darker and darker, the sky in the west is shining brightly, and the people in Qingxiang Village are looking for someone to implement the village rules.

The militiamen outside Qingxiang Village looked at Qingxiang Village from a distance, staring at it with covetous eyes.

And from the southwest direction of the Post Office, Xia Zhaoyi and Zhi Changle's mounts set foot on this wilderness.

It took them 27 days to go all the way south from Yantianpo, and they finally returned here in the afterglow of late autumn.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of people when they went there, it is deserted and cold now, and there is almost no one in the vast wilderness, until they encountered a group of wild dogs that were dragging and eating corpses.

The corpse was eaten by wild dogs beyond recognition, and it was not highly decomposed, so it should have died not long ago.

Zhi Changle drove away the group of wild dogs, and following the trail of the wild dogs, they found a huge mass grave.

The pit was filled with thick soil, and the surrounding area was ripped apart by wild dogs. The grass and trees were in a mess, with broken limbs and arms lying horizontally, and flying insects everywhere.

They stood six feet away and watched from a distance, but did not step forward.

"They all died of starvation," Zhi Changle looked at Xia Zhaoyi, "There should be some who died of illness, and they have almost no external injuries."

Zhi Changle can clearly distinguish the wounds he suffered before his death from the gash that was ripped apart by wild dogs after his death.

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyi turned his head and looked towards the southern sky.

As the sky faded and the stars hung high, a row of sparse torches lit up at the foot of the southern mountain, spreading across the entire skyline.

"It should be those refugees," Zhi Changle said, "It's been so long, and they're still here."

"Maybe it's not a refugee anymore," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Maybe it's an army."

"Will Qingxiang Village be in danger?"

"Don't be afraid of danger," Xia Zhaoyi changed direction and said, "Go back and have a look."

Zhi Changle understood what she meant by saying that she was not afraid of danger.

The ten wound instruments on the mountain can make crossbow arrows, and if the time comes to danger, the people of Qingxiang Village will definitely use them.

They did not go back from the front of the village, but took a long way around, preparing to go downhill from the northeast.

Zhi Changle took out Xia Zhaoyi's lantern woven from bamboo strips from the bamboo basket on the back of the horse, and hung it in front of the horse's head like a fishing rod for lighting.

The night breeze was blowing, and the sky was filled with boundless stars. They walked slowly on the hillside just like they had been walking for more than 20 days.

While walking, Xia Zhaoyi suddenly reined in his horse and stopped.

Zhi Changle looked at her: "Huh? Ah Li."

The wind in the mountains was strong, and there was the sound of a stream not far away. Xia Zhaoyi turned his eyes around and stopped on the big rock beside the road.

"Come out." Xia Zhaoyi said.

The calm and cool voice is especially crisp in the nighttime mountain forest.

Zhi Changle immediately became vigilant, and also looked in that direction: "Who!"

He didn't hear any movement, but he never questioned Xia Zhaoyi's judgment.

After a while of silence, Bai Wuniang and Bai Liuniang walked out from behind the rock with pale faces.

After fleeing for several hours, the two sisters looked up at them with disheveled faces and trembling eyes.

Xia Zhaoyi also recognized them: "Bai Wuniang, Bai Liuniang?"

"Miss Ali!" Bai Wuniang and Bai Liuniang knelt down, "Can you pretend that you didn't see us!"

"Let us live!"

"What's going on!" Zhi Changle yelled, "Speak slowly, what happened?"

Bai Wuniang wiped away tears: "Didn't Miss Ali say that whoever reads well can follow you to seek a living outside and earn a lot of wages, but you only need two people."

"...I, have you said that?" Xia Zhaoyi said.

"Da Lanzi said it," Bai Liuniang cried, "Da Lanzi said it, you said it."

"What does this have to do with your escape?" Zhi Changle asked.

"We just wanted to make money, we wanted to leave Qingxiang Village, and go with Miss Ali," Bai Wuniang choked up, "We met a man from outside on the mountain the other day. He could read, read, and write poems. We just want to learn secretly with him, so that we can compare with other girls in the village!"

"Now, we have been discovered," Bai Liuniang cried more and more sadly, "People in the village are arresting us everywhere, and they will kill us!"
