Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 55 0055 Inquiry
Cheng Zongyang did not stop them. Instead of letting them suppress their emotions, it was better to let them vent them.

Next, Cheng Zongyang put Chen Jiang's body back in place and packed up the funeral items in the main room.

Chen Jiang had saved his life, and it was not reasonable for him to turn a blind eye to it.

As for Aunt Chunhua's last words before her death, they were not a problem for him.

Just two more mouths to feed, he had more than enough food.

After experiencing the two incidents involving the refugees and the Jin family, he has decided to move his family to the county town.

Although they fought off one wave of refugees, there would surely be more to come. It was only a matter of time before Jinqiao Village followed the path of Xujia Village and other villages.

Rather than making your family worry all day long, it is better to choose a county town that is temporarily more stable.

That house is enough to temporarily house three families.

Next, Cheng Zongyang asked his uncle to take care of the household affairs, while he found a few large wooden boards and nailed a simple coffin to place Aunt Chunhua's body.

When Cheng Zhou heard that Chen Li had passed away, she felt scared, sighed, and agreed to take the two children over.

Having been neighbors for many years and Chen Jiang having saved her son, she couldn't bear to ignore these two poor children.

Without any ceremony, Cheng Zongyang placed the two coffins on a cart.

Then they took some tools, funeral items, and Chen Zhaodi and her sister, lit torches in the night, and went into the outer mountains together.

Cheng Zongyang found a relatively flat location away from the mountain road, dug a hole and buried the unfortunate couple in the same grave.

A wooden tablet was put up so that the two sisters could say goodbye properly.

Perhaps it was because the two sisters were malnourished and exhausted, they knelt on the ground for a while and then fainted while crying heart-wrenchingly.

Cheng Zongyang checked and found that they were fine, but out of pity, he could only carry the two almost weightless girls, one in each hand, down the mountain.

Finally, he pulled the cart back home.

Instead of leaving the two girls at their home, he took them back to his own home.

After dealing with the funeral affairs of Chen Jiang and his wife, the matter came to an end.

Next, Cheng Zongyang asked his aunt to take good care of the two sisters. After saying goodbye to his elder and younger uncles, he left home with only his ironwood bow and long sword and headed towards the north of the village.

Since his uncle was worried about the situation at home, it wouldn't hurt to go over and take a look.

Of course, there are other purposes.

In the dark of night, he took a detour to the west of the village.

Well, on the way...

This area is the territory of the Jin family, and he plans to find out the whereabouts of Jin Fugui, the Jin family's biggest backer!
He also knew that the Jin family would definitely seek revenge, and he couldn't really kill all the Jin family members.

But for Cheng Zongyang, as long as he could get rid of their backers, what threat would this group of elderly, children, women and children who had lost their family's backbone pose to him?
Cheng Zongyang came to the back of Jin Detian's house and listened quietly to the noise inside.

In the room, wailing sounds came one after another.

At this moment, there were five corpses lined up on the floor of the main hall.

The body was covered with a white cloth.

The bodies were Kim Bok-min, Kim Deok-jeon, Kim Deok-su, Kim Yong-an, and Kim Yong-min.

The village chief Jin Fumin was beaten to death by refugees who rushed into his home during the chaos. Jin Yongsheng and Jin Yongmin were beaten to death by refugees during the counterattack when the Li and Chen families retreated.

This is also the reason why the two brothers Jin Detian and Jin Deshui rushed to Cheng Zongyang's house in such anger, wanting to find an explanation, and even wanted to kill Cheng Zongyang to vent their anger.

However, they probably never expected that Cheng Zongyang would be so cruel and decisive as to kill all of their remaining strong laborers.

If it weren't for the two cousins ​​Jin Yongkang and Jin Yongsheng who stayed at home to protect the family, they would have followed their father's footsteps.

The brothers Jin Yongkang and Jin Yongsheng knelt in front of the corpse with red eyes and grim faces. The elders and sisters were crying nearby.

Jin Detian's second son, Jin Yongkang, looked at his cousin Jin Yongsheng and said with a cold look:

"Cousin, this matter must be told to our uncle! The people of the Cheng family must die, and the Li and Chen families must also make amends!"

Jin Yongsheng was silent for a while and then said:
"Do you think it would be useful if we take action against the Li and Chen families?"

Jin Yongkang growled, "They have caused so many deaths among us, they must pay the price! The Cheng family can also arrest them for murder. The whole family must die!"

Jin Yongsheng was much more rational than Jin Yongkang. He sighed and said:
"The Cheng family can be arrested, but the Li and Chen families can forget about it. They did not take action, and in this situation, whether the county government will care about what is happening outside is another matter. Otherwise, they would not allow the refugees to rob the village and kill people.

If we provoke these two families to resist, all of us will die."

Jin Yongkang said angrily: "Cousin, I will go to the city tomorrow, you just stay at home! I don't believe that my uncle will not care about this matter!"

"I'm afraid that my uncle now can't take care of so many things." Jin Yongsheng said seriously.

Jin Yongkang was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"The refugees are causing chaos, and the village is in such a mess. If the county doesn't care, his position as the head of the village will be meaningless. Who would be afraid of the uncle?"

"Then he must have connections in the county..."

"Relationships are also maintained with money. If you use favors, you have to pay them back." Jin Yongsheng looked at his cousin calmly and said slowly, "The whole family of my great uncle has moved to the county town, and we have been less connected in the past two years. Do you think he wants to take care of things, but are his children willing?"

"Cousin, my elder brother is right, you just think too much!" Jin Yongkang snorted, "I don't care, I will go to the county to find him tomorrow! I don't believe he will really not care!"

Jin Yongsheng lowered his head and said nothing more, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

At the back of the house, Cheng Zongyang was distracted by the mourning sounds in the main hall and could not hear clearly, but he could still vaguely hear words like "going to the city".

Seeing this, Cheng Zongyang's eyes flickered.

The city gates had already been closed by then, so there was no need to worry about them going to the county town overnight. They immediately left the west area of ​​the village and rushed to the water mouth.

In order to save time, Cheng Zongyang jogged all the way and arrived at the entrance of Shuikou Village in less than quarter of an hour.

Along the way, I saw some dead bodies and various miscellaneous things.

It can be seen that many people fled in panic at that time.

When we entered the village, we saw many dead bodies lying on the road, and no one had cleaned them up.

The cart was tilted all over the place, and clothes, pots and pans were scattered all over the ground, stretching all the way to the village road.

Cheng Zongyang frowned and quickly came to his uncle's house.

As a result, I saw that half of the gate had collapsed, with only the lower half left standing alone and tilted.

The house was in a mess, as if it had been ransacked by thieves and everything had been turned over.

There’s nothing edible left.

There are no more things that are useful and convenient to carry.

There was no other way, Cheng Zongyang could only pick out some usable things, as well as clothes, tools, etc. and store them in the wilderness world, and then take them out and take them home when he returned.

Although this house is still habitable, it is no longer necessary unless the refugee issue is completely resolved. Otherwise, even if I return, there will be trouble later.

He ignored it, left Shuikou Village again and returned to the village.

He took the things out at the entrance of the village and carried them home.
