"Is this so serious?" the village chief's voice trembled slightly.

Pei Qinhu smiled bitterly, lifted up his shirt, and showed his chest and abdomen, which were starting to become red and swollen, to the village chief.

"I just asked a few more questions, and the man you were communicating with took action and injured me. Judging from his appearance, he is just a minion of this group of people."

He looked solemn and said, "Listen to me. Now go and notify the people left behind by King Mobei and organize the whole village to join the battle."

"Otherwise they can't find Luo Nannan in the city, and there's no guarantee they won't come to the village to cause trouble."

When the village chief heard this, he didn't dare to take any chances and ran up the mountain in two steps at a time.

When Luo Xi left the village, Yinyao helped her leave someone to guard the village, and they could contact them as quickly as possible.

The village chief ran away. Tieniu looked worried and supported Pei Qinhu with one arm: "Brother Hu, are you okay? Broken bones are not a trivial matter. How about I send you to Baohe Hall first?"

"It's not a problem!" The rib injury was not serious. After all, he was a soldier who had retired from the battlefield, so he knew it well.

The village chief left and returned quickly with two tall figures. After listening to Pei Qinhu's story, his expression was solemn.

So, the Ji family left, and Zhengdao Village organized the villagers to evacuate.

When knocking on the door, the villagers were confused and a little unbelievable when they heard that there was danger.

How dare someone commit murder in broad daylight? The people who came here are not bandits. Are you afraid that the government will punish them?

When the wealthy squire who moved in behind became even more concerned about his life, he didn't hesitate when he heard there was danger. He simply packed up his valuables and followed the village chief into the bamboo forest.

Of course, some people choose to leave the village because they feel it is safer outside.

The village chief who wanted to leave ignored him and only urged the villagers to hurry up and hurry up.

At this time, the gap between rich and poor appears!

Those who came from outside all had spare money, had seen the world to some extent, and understood that life was more important than money, so they simply packed away their most valuable things.

Looking at the villagers in this village, they have tattered cotton-padded jackets, tattered quilts, chickens, ducks and geese... They even wish they could bring firewood in the backyard.

The village chief suddenly felt a sense of awakening. It turns out that the biggest gap between the poor and the rich is knowledge!

I have made a decision in my heart to read! To survive this crisis, all children in the village should study together.

Many people cried and cried that they could not live. Some even lay on the ground and acted violently, scolding the Luo family for a while, Luo Xi for a while, and finally scolding the sky for not opening their eyes.

The village chief looked at the woman rolling and acting mischievously on the ground with a dark face. He raised his voice and shouted to the house: "Gu Chi, take care of your mother!"

"If you don't want to leave, just stay at home. Doesn't she have to attract danger to be happy?"

That's right, the woman rolling on the ground is none other than Gu Chi's mother.

The wooden door opened with a creak, and the handsome scholar who had high hopes from the villagers in the past was no longer there, revealing Gu Chi's uneven cheekbones, leaving only a skeleton of skin and bones.

His eyes were dull and gray, "Mom! Stop making trouble, go into the house and pack my things."

The villagers looked at this young man who looked like he was dying, with pity in their eyes.

Who would have thought that Gu Chi went to take the provincial examination six months ago and was directly deprived of the qualification to participate in the scientific examination for life.

After being escorted back to the village, I found out that he actually wanted to bribe the examiner in that way.

Not only was Gu Chi's future ruined, but the entire Gu family was so tired that they couldn't even lift their heads, and they had to be pointed at when they went out...

There were even groups of students from Fucheng who came to watch.

Gu Chi also completely gave up on himself. From time to time, the Gu family would be beaten, scolded, and smashed. According to neighbors, this kid was beating his own mother.

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Chi finished speaking, Gu's mother shrank, got up, and rushed into the house.

Gu Chi's cold eyes were full of hatred, it was all this woman's fault! It was all his fault that the woman he was supposed to call his mother instigated him to take advantage of Luo Xi.

Otherwise, he should be Wen Zhuangyuan standing next to Luo Xi.

The worst is the person Wu Zhuangyuan cares about the most. How could he end up like this?

The village chief shook his head and asked the villagers to go pack their things and stop watching the fun here.

When everyone came to the Bamboo Sea, the wealthy squire was first attracted by the beautiful scenery here, and then he saw the quiet mansion by the lake, and he was a little moved.

When he found out that Zhuhai was the residence of the current imperial champion, all his thoughts suddenly disappeared.

After confirming that most of the villagers had come in, the two people left behind by Yin Yao activated the formation, and white mist suddenly rose from the bamboo sea, surprising everyone.

After confirming that the formation was activated, the village chief finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Before Luo Xi left, she said that this was the last protective barrier she left for the village. Once an irresistible danger occurs, the whole village can take refuge.

There is food in the house, enough for the whole village to eat for a month.

One month is enough time for her to return no matter where she is.

As for those stubborn people in the village, the village chief did not force them.

Medicine cannot cure people who want to die.

Zhengdao Village is safe for the time being. On the other hand, the Luo family and the Ji family returned to Yongning County and looked down upon the inns in the county.

Forced to open the door of Lan's house and check in.

The head of the Lan family disagreed at first and turned the fire off, but after seeing the skills of this group of people, he silently directed the family members to move to another courtyard for a short stay.

The head of the Lan family was forced to stay by Ji Xiangzong, "Do you know the Luo family in Zhengdao Village?"

The head of the Lan family flashed his eyes and said, "I know, that is a family that has become the top scholar in martial arts. The fourth son also married the daughter of the prefect, so of course I know."

That's all. If you ask about anything else, you won't know anything about it.

Just kidding, the Lan family cooperates with Luo Xi's workshop. If something happens to Luo Xi, it won't benefit him at all.

Just like that, early the next morning, the carriage drove back to Fucheng for several hours and stopped exactly outside the small courtyard where the Luo family lived.

Learning from last night's lesson, the Ji family had sent people to find out where the Luo family was before entering the city, and now they could find the location accurately.

Ji Xiangzong didn't even get off the carriage. He closed his eyes and ordered in a deep voice: "Go in and take Luo Nannan out. Let's leave this remote rural area directly."

He didn't understand why his daughter insisted on going out on her own and came to Dayong to find a woman named Luo Nannan and bring her back to Ji's family.

His daughter has always been meticulous in everything she does and rarely asks for anything from anyone. She was tired of staying on the island, so he agreed to make this trip in person.

The door was kicked open with a bang.

In the courtyard, Shi Lan, the beloved daughter of the then magistrate, was holding a large tub of clothes ready to be washed. She was startled by a sudden noise and the tub fell to the ground.

The old lady in the room cursed and came out, "Damn you bitch, my Luo family is really unlucky to marry you. Your father's useless plague-stricken thing..."

Shi Lan lowered his head, tears streaming down his face.

Ever since her father was removed from the black gauze hat and the whole family was assigned to Ning Guta, she became the slave of the family, doing endless housework and being beaten and scolded every day.

The most unbearable thing was Luo Laosi, that beast who would often bring different men home and take their money to serve her.

If it hadn't been impossible, she would have perished with the family.

"Where is Luo Nannan?" A sudden voice at the door attracted the attention of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and only then did Shi Lan remember that an outsider was in front of her house.

And when this group of people saw that wealth was not easy to mess with, her expressionless mother-in-law actually stepped forward with her hands on her hips without fear of death:

"Okay! You are the wild men who kidnapped my granddaughter, right?"

"Tell me, where did you hide my granddaughter? Fifty taels, no, give me a hundred taels, otherwise don't blame my old lady for going to the government to accuse you of abducting and selling young girls from good families."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man outside the courtyard visibly darkened his face, and slapped the old woman who was shouting inside.

"Snapped!"

"Can you answer my question quietly now?"
