Autumn insects chirp, autumn wind blows

Bai Jingzhi broke out in a cold sweat and the autumn wind blew over him, giving him goose bumps.

Those figures were not villagers from Jingkanzi Village.

Hundreds of people wearing night clothes and holding big swords came out from some doors and gathered at the door of Bai's house.

"Let me take a look at the situation over there," Bai Zhao came over and took the telescope from her hand, and began to check the situation over there, "It should be coming towards our house. The fire at Bai's house is the biggest."

"Wouldn't the second brother and his wife...wouldn't they have died in the sea of ​​fire?" Old Mrs. Bai kicked her legs and fell to the ground.

Everyone was in a panic again.

"I didn't expect these people to move so quickly!" Wei Liu appeared beside them silently, scaring the father and daughter.

Wei Liu grabbed the telescope and began to observe the situation over there, imitating Bai Zhao.

Bai Zhao just stared at the sidelines, not daring to take it back.

He had seen Wei Liu's abilities.

One year, the original body's family went to the Wei Mansion in Lingzhou City. Wei Liu accompanied them when they went to the temple fair.

Wei Liu was inconspicuous in the crowd, and his original body only regarded him as a servant of the Wei family and did not take him seriously.

He ordered Wei Liuyi around and ordered him around along the way.

Later, someone blocked the road and made trouble. Wei Liu kicked the person five or six meters away, and the person fell to the ground seriously injured.

From then on, the original body would avoid him like a mouse seeing a cat.

Later, the original body found out that Wei Liu was a member of a branch of the Wei family, and he dared not do it again.

Meeting Wei Liu is more polite than meeting my father-in-law.

Bai Zhao didn't dare to breathe, and he and his daughter quietly looked in the direction of Jingkanzi Village.

The occasional bird call is a bit creepy in the autumn night.

Wei Liu returned the telescope to Bai Zhao and asked casually:

"Do you have the Wei Family Bronze Token?"

Bai Zhao's expression froze and he was about to say no.

"Keep it and don't give it to anyone! It's your amulet."

Wei Liu ignored them and disappeared into the night with a leap of his body.

The father and daughter stood outside for a while and then returned to the cave.

They were powerless to do anything about what happened in Jingkanzi Village.

Jingkanzi Village.

The sky was flushed red.

The air was filled with a burning smell and billowing smoke.

There were cries for help from afar, but they were soon engulfed in the fire.

"withdraw!"

Hundreds of people moved in unison, blending into the night.

"Cough cough cough~"

Two figures covered in something rushed out of the Bai family's yard, coughing violently.

“Who are these people?”

Yao's voice was hoarse, no longer as gentle as before.

"Who knows! It's a good thing we went into the cellar at that time, otherwise we would have died here."

Bai Laoer had difficulty breathing and gasped, trying to breathe in some fresh air, but unfortunately there was a burning smell all around.

Bai Zhao reminded the couple that they had to leave at midnight, but they were lazy and didn't want to travel at night, so they half-believingly hid in the cellar.

Fortunately, there were no wood or trees around the cellar, and there was a stone slab next to it, which made it particularly inconspicuous.

When those people broke in and searched, they did not find the cellar.

"What are those people looking for in bronze?"

Yao didn't hear clearly in the cellar, she only heard the word "bronze".

"Bronze? Could it be the big bronze turtle in Third Brother's room?"

Bai Laoer clutched his throat and had difficulty breathing.

"Isn't that thing in their room? They didn't take it away. Also, these people don't seem to be coming for the thing. Are they here to arrest someone?"

Yao used a handkerchief to wipe the black dust off her face, and the quilt that she had just thrown on the ground had dried.

"They should have come to arrest my third brother and his wife. Fortunately, they left."

Bai Lao Er got up from the ground and looked at the raging fire that had not yet burned out, his eyes red, "These people are so cruel, a village with hundreds of people was burned just like that!"

Except for the Bai clan members, everyone else in Jingkanzi Village is familiar to them.

There are old people who watched them brothers grow up, people of the same age, and younger children.

These people just disappeared like that.

Yao's face turned pale and she said nothing.

"Why would they massacre the whole village just to capture my third brother's wife?"

Bai Laoer looked very sad and weak all over.

"Brother, what's going on? Why has the village become like this?!"

An ox cart came speeding towards us from afar, raising layers of dust.

"Ahem, have you found Lingzhi?"

When Yao saw who was coming, her face was filled with excitement. She looked behind the person again and again, but there was only half light in the night.

The person who came was the person that Old Lady Bai asked the clan leader to send out to find someone, and he was also the clan leader’s youngest son, Bai Xiang.

Bai Xiang was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He was skinny and his clothes were loose on him.

He swayed a few times and then passed out.

"Hey, why did he faint? He hasn't told me anything about Lingzhi yet! Hey, wake up!"

Yao shook a bit and was pushed away by Bai Laoer.

"Be gentle, or you'll hurt him by shaking him." Bai Laoer carried the man on his back, his feet tapping the blanket on the ground. "Spread the blanket on the oxcart. Let's go to the foot of Taiming Mountain first, away from here."

Yao glared at him and threw the quilt hard onto the ox cart.

"Be gentle. This is the only quilt we have. If you tear it, you will sleep in the open air."

Bai Lao Er scolded softly.

The couple placed Bai Xiang on the ox cart, found a torch, and headed towards the foot of Taiming Mountain.

Bai Laoer was driving the ox cart, with a lot on his mind.

Nothing is left!

The grain and banknotes were burned, and he was left with only thirty taels of silver.

At this time, what use is this little bit of silver?

Ping County is also about to fall into chaos.

How will I live the rest of my life? I don’t know where to get my next meal…

"Be careful, you're going to fall into the ditch!"

Yao screamed, and Bai Laoer dared not be distracted anymore.

Bai Xiang woke up due to the bumpy night road.

"Second brother, all my family members are gone?" He still couldn't believe it. His house was burned down and all his relatives were gone.

Bai Lao Er didn't answer, just nodded.

"What happened? Why did the whole village burn down? Did someone set the fire on purpose?"

Bai Xiang is the youngest son of the clan leader. He is smart and has passed the examination to become a student.

He also has a sensitive nose. When a child in the village was lost, it was thanks to him that he found the child.

When Lingzhi disappeared this time, he was preparing for the exam at home. It was only after Old Lady Bai stepped in that he agreed to go out and look for her.

"It's my third brother and his wife—"

"Okay, what does it have to do with them? I don't know why those people sneaked into Jingkanzi Village in the middle of the night, but you didn't run into them on the way?"

Bai Laoer stopped Yao and said that even if what happened tonight was related to the Wei family, she couldn't tell anyone.

"No, there was news about Lingzhi on the path I took. But when I went there, the place was empty."

Bai Xiang took a shortcut into the city in the afternoon. There was no one on the street at that time, and he followed his nose all the way to a winery.

However, the taste of the wine shop overwhelmed the taste of Bai Lingzhi, so he put in a lot of effort.

When you leave the winery, the smell is vague.

When Bai Xiang went back to look for the place, it was empty.
