Lu Changping returned to the thatched house a stick of incense late. When he entered the house, he noticed that his grandpa was too silent. He didn't say a word, but went outside to light a fire and boil water, put it in a wooden basin and brought it in: "Grandpa, I'll give it to you." You wipe yourself."

Second Uncle Lu had many questions that needed to be answered. When he saw his only son wanted to wipe his father's body, he resisted asking questions and listened carefully.

Old man Lu has been paralyzed in bed for many years, but his body is fresh and clean. Thanks to Lu Changping and his son, he has to wipe the old man's body even if he doesn't take a bath.

"River bank..." Old Man Lu whispered.

Lu Changping lowered his voice and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. The Marquis and the county magistrate have no evil intentions. The wages and food used to build the river embankment were obtained from the confiscated landowners' property. The Marquis himself said that it is unfair. Wealth brings bad luck, and only by using it to do things that benefit the people can the bad luck be eliminated."

"Is this true?" Old Man Lu asked doubtfully.

Lu Changping's words cleared up most of Old Lu's suspicions: "Master, the Marquis knows about the fortune-telling rituals. He personally said that those people are the provocateurs who work for the tiger."

Old Man Lu still had doubts: "Let's wait until we get the sweet potato seeds tomorrow and divide the land."

While the grandfather and grandson were whispering, a big dispute broke out in the refugee temporary residence.

Old Man Lu glanced around the thatched house and ordered in a cold voice: "Changping, go and take Changle and the others home!"

"Changping, help me up, and I'll go with you!"

Second Uncle Lu was afraid that something might happen to his only son, so he insisted on getting up and going out together.

"Father, how about..."

Old Man Lu gave the order angrily: "Changping, help your father and the other three go outside and fuck the guy to guard the house!"

Lu Changping didn't say anything else. He helped the three of them stand up. He picked up a wooden stick as thick as his forearm and rushed out, shouting: "Changle, bring your brothers and sisters home!"

Mrs. Lu called her mentally retarded sister-in-law, and together with Lu Changle, they hugged and led all the children in the family home.

"Boss, what happened outside?" Old Man Lu asked eagerly.

Mrs. Lu's face turned pale with fright, and she said after a while: "Dad, the gangsters took advantage of everyone to hide the women and children in the cave. They drowned the two-year-old Douhua, and Douhua's second sister bit them and was thrown down the mountain... ...The matter is too big. The Marquis and the county magistrate personally brought people over."

Old Man Lu suppressed the excitement in his heart and ordered: "Changle, everyone, please don't go out. If any evil person breaks in, just fight them out!"

"Grandpa, I will protect my grandma, aunt, third aunt, and younger brothers and sisters!"

Chang Le held the wooden stick tightly and nodded heavily.

She has disguised herself as a man for so many years, and has already developed the instinct of self-protection to protect her family and children.

Anyone who wants to harm her family must step over her body!

After a quarter of an hour, news came back one after another:

"The female family members and young children in the cave are being held hostage!"

"The gangsters asked Pinglehou and the county magistrate to let them go, or else they would kill them!"

"It's no use sending the gangster's wife, children, and children halfway up the mountain. The gangster said that if the wife dies, you can remarry, and if the child is gone, you can have another child. They don't care about the lives of the family and the children at all!"

"Another toddler was thrown off the mountain!"

"Those beasts that suffered a thousand blows!"

……

One after another shocking news came back, Lu Changle's brain nerves were highly tense. She was like a big tree standing proudly, sticking to her position of protecting her family, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Changle, her father, and three people who were standing outside were also suffering, especially when they saw the group of high-spirited scholars passing by in a long line, and their cat-like curiosity made them want to rush to the front. .

Time passed very slowly. I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was a burst of warm cheers from the mountains!

"Report to the Marquis, all ten criminals have been executed!"

Secret Guard B was covered in blood and knelt on one knee in front of Huo Yunchao.

Huo Yunchao's first concern was the personal safety of the two secret guards: "Are they injured? How is the situation in the cave?"

Secret Guard B felt warm in his heart and replied in a warm voice: "As far as I'm concerned, there is no threat in the cave. The three hostages suffered a tragic death, and the remaining hostages suffered no external injuries except for being frightened."

"Well done!"

Huo Yunchao patted Secret Guard B on the shoulder, turned to Magistrate Wang and said, "Sir, I'll leave the rest of the matter to you."

Magistrate Wang didn't have time to talk to Huo Yunchao about what was there and what wasn't. His eyes widened: "You want to be lazy again! Don't even think about it!"

Huo Yunchao leaned over and whispered, "Sir, I'm not lazy. I'm going to lead the scholars to the cave to have a look."

Magistrate Wang looked back and saw nothing, "Why did you take them to see it?"

Huo Yunchao explained with a smile: "Scholars are fierce-blooded and hate evil, so it is perfect for them to be witnesses. They should see more of the dark side of the world, otherwise they will be as naive and ignorant as me."

Magistrate Wang looked helpless: "Ask their opinions first, don't scare the timid people into sickness."

"Please don't worry, sir." Huo Yunchao assured, patting his chest.

While Magistrate Wang asked the government officials to handle the funeral affairs, he also paid attention to how Huo Yunchao persuaded the scholars.

Huo Yunchao walked among the scholars and said with a serious face: "I wonder if you have ever heard of the ritual of using baby girls to attract wealth?"

The scholars shook their heads.

Huo Yunchao pointed in the direction of the cave and said: "Those who were behind the tiger were either deceived by others or knowingly promoted the evil ways of using baby girls to attract wealth, which led to this man-made disaster. Would you like to go to the cave with me to explore it? after all?"

Some people looked confused, some looked suspicious, and some looked earthy, with different expressions.

Just as the scholars were hesitating, Lu Changping shouted: "Master Hou, I am willing to follow Master Hou to the cave!"

Everyone focused their attention on Lu Changping. He cut off half of his hair and tidied it up neatly. It was easy to win the favor of others.

Huo Yunchao did not expect that the first person to respond to his call was not a scholar, but a homeless man. He walked up to Lu Changping with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and praised: "Lu Changping, you are not bold at your age. Xiao! You are good!"

Lu Changping blushed at the praise and stumbled back: "Young Master Hou is so flattering."

When the scholars saw that they were being overshadowed by the homeless people who were younger than them, they signed up to go to the cave to find out.

Huo Yunchao just pulled up a long team and climbed up the cave to see the scene inside, with broken limbs and red blood. The scene was bloody and brutal.

In his two lifetimes, where has he seen such bloody scenes? He was so shocked by this scene that he retched repeatedly. This was due to human instinct of self-preservation.

The scholars who came to the cave with him also made vomiting sounds one after another. The scene was too exciting and the impact was too great.

Lu Changping glanced around and found that among the people who went up the mountain together, except for him and the secret guard B who was covered in blood, there was no one who was calmer than him.

What was even more terrifying was that two secret guards covered in blood stared at him with undisguised murderous intent in their eyes.
