40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

This scene frightened a middle-aged man passing by. He opened his mouth tremblingly and asked, "What happened?"

When the third brother heard the voices, he pretended to be sad. He was afraid of being seen clearly, so he lowered his head. Fortunately, he had a hat on his head and a scarf around his neck, so his appearance could not be seen clearly.

"I don't know. We were out having fun for a day, and it was getting dark. We were rushing back, and when we got here, they fainted. I've asked someone to find a doctor."

The third brother spoke with great emotion. The middle-aged man thought they were a family after hearing his voice. Without thinking too much, he moved closer, wanting to lend a hand.

At this moment, the sound of a carriage was heard, and at the same time, Xiaowu's voice was heard, "Old Third, I found the carriage. Hurry up and move the children up. Take the children to the clinic before it closes."

The third brother heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the fifth brother's voice, and quickly advised the middle-aged man beside him, "It's getting late now, and curfew is about to start. It's not good to waste your time. Now that my brother is back, you should go home quickly!"

The middle-aged man was not happy when he heard this. "My home is just ahead. It won't delay anything. Since you have a carriage coming, I can lend a hand. It won't take much time. There are so many children. Let's go to the clinic as soon as possible and get out of danger as soon as possible."

When the third brother heard what the middle-aged man said, he gritted his teeth secretly.

At this time, Xiaowu had already arrived in a carriage. Seeing that there were outsiders, he raised his hand to lower his hat and tighten the scarf around his neck.

Xiaowu looked at the third brother, who just winked at him and shook his head.

The third brother and the middle-aged man had already worked together to lift a person onto the carriage.

"Why did these children suddenly faint for no reason?" the middle-aged man asked as he carried the people, his tone full of confusion.

The third brother sighed softly, "I don't know, I don't know if it's because of the weather or the food I ate just now, that's why..."

"I think it's a food problem. Those things are weird. We didn't touch them and they refused to eat them!!"

"You should take them to see a doctor as soon as possible, to make sure they don't get food poisoning."

Soon, with the combined efforts of the three of them, all the people lying on the ground were moved into the carriage.

The carriage was so small and there were ten of them in Fang Xiaohai's group. The third brother and his group simply stacked Fang Xiaohai and his group on the carriage like a pyramid.

The middle-aged man looked at the figures piled up in the carriage with a bit of melancholy on his face.

Xiao Wu noticed the change in the middle-aged man's expression, and in order to avoid any trouble, he explained, "We were in such a hurry. It was almost curfew, so we just found a carriage to come over."

After everyone was loaded onto the carriage, the third brother and the fifth brother looked at each other. Not wanting to delay any longer, they thanked the middle-aged man and drove away in the carriage.

The third brother and the fifth brother were driving their carriage on the street. There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. They passed by several clinics, but they had no intention of going in.

The two of them had arrived in City A for a few days and were familiar with the buildings and roads in the city.

So the two of them drove the carriage directly to an abandoned small courtyard.

There were not many residents living around this abandoned courtyard. They drove the carriage directly into the courtyard and then roughly dragged Fang Xiaohai and the other ten people off the carriage.

After they moved in, the third brother was afraid that his family would worry, so he asked the fifth brother to drive the carriage back to inform them and then come back.

The third brother found a rope and tied up Fang Xiaohai and the other ten people.

The third brother skillfully tied up each unconscious person with a rope. He also found some dirty pieces of cloth in the abandoned house and forced them into the unconscious people's mouths.

They covered their eyes with cloth strips.

The sky gradually darkened, and it was almost impossible to see the surroundings in this abandoned yard.

The third brother picked up some discarded wood around and lit it. The house suddenly became brighter and warmer.

After finishing all this, the third brother brought in a bucket of water, randomly selected a person among the unconscious people, and poured the water on his head.

After being stimulated by the cold water, the man slowly regained consciousness, only to find that his hands and feet were tied up and his eyes were blindfolded, making everything dark.

Seeing this state upon waking up made him very uneasy. He tried to struggle, but he could not break free from the ropes that bound him. The more he struggled, the tighter the ropes felt.

This result made him even more frightened, because his mouth was stuffed with something and he could only make faint whimpering sounds.

This sound, coupled with the abandoned yard, makes it sound even more desolate.

After pouring the water, the third brother stood aside, watching everything coldly, with a sneer on his face.

After Xiaowu went home and told his family, he drove his carriage back to the abandoned yard. As soon as he came in, he saw this scene.

They had done these things many times before, all under Fang Lairong's instructions to help him clear obstacles.

But now their targets have become Fang Lairong’s relatives.

Seeing this scene, the Third Brother and the Fifth Brother felt no guilt at all. Compared to their brothers who lost their lives and were forced to flee their homes, they were only collecting some interest from Fang Lairong's children. Their ultimate goal was to seek revenge on the culprit.

"Don't waste your energy. You can't possibly untie the rope I tied. If you want to blame someone, blame Fang Lairong. After all, you are his descendants." The third brother's cold and ruthless voice echoed in the abandoned yard.

The person who was awakened by the splashing water kept shrinking back in fear when he heard the sound coming to his ear.

"Tell me, where is Fang Lairong?" The third brother asked coldly, and at the same time stretched out his hand to tear the rag out of the mouth of the man who had just woken up.

"Help me—"

As soon as the tied person's mouth was freed, he immediately opened his mouth and screamed.

However, his cry for help seemed so pale and powerless in this abandoned yard.

Lao San and Xiao Wu's eyes turned cold and merciless when they heard his cry for help.

Although this was an abandoned small courtyard with not many residents nearby, there were still many Japanese soldiers patrolling outside. He was afraid that his voice would attract the Japanese soldiers.

So he picked up a stick beside him and hit the person who was asking for help.

"what--"

The moment the stick fell, the man's cry for help turned into a groan of pain.

The third brother showed no mercy and hit the opponent with his stick again and again.

The man kept dodging in pain and wailing.

"what--"

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, it hurts so much!!!" The person being beaten screamed miserably, his body twisted in pain, and his voice became hoarse.
