"Shunzi's father! Wu Da!" Several female voices shouted at the top of their lungs, and their voices echoed throughout the land.

Qingyang stretched lazily: "Have you rested well? It's time for us to set off."

The family packed their bags, got up, and prepared to hit the road in the morning breeze.

Fu Bao listened to the screams of the people outside all night and felt a little listless: "Master, why are they silent?"

Qingyang looked coldly at the man who fainted on the road and was muttering "ghost" crazily, and said, "He must be hungry and weak."

The group of women who came to look for someone took another fork in the road, and it would probably take them another half an hour to get back. A few people pulled out the ox cart and set off to the Qingzhou official road.

Li Huaiqing: "Ah! What's going on..."

Several children were so frightened that they could not speak.

Fu Bao looked and saw that most of the people from last night had fainted on the ground, and the few who were awake were all crazy without exception. There was even one person hanging on a short tree, already dead.

Fu Bao was surprised and said: "How could this happen!"

But they were scared to death because they couldn't go out for one night. But they soon found out the reason.

After taking a few steps forward, Xiao Shui almost immediately stood in front of them and said, "Turn around!"

The others were only focused on the madman around them and didn't notice what was happening ahead. But Fubao saw clearly that it was not someone else who scared them crazy, but Zhang Cuicui's corpse.

The person who was still alive the day before was now beheaded and his entire limbs were violently dismembered by an axe. It was an extremely tragic scene.

Everyone in the family turned around obediently. Xiaoshui took advantage of the chaos to tidy up her body and placed it in the grass.

The crazy man shouted, "What does your death have to do with me? Don't come looking for me! I didn't kill you! Go away." He held the axe in his hands and trembled.

Li Shuangrong stepped forward, grabbed a man, and asked, "What happened?"

The man trembled and screamed, "It's all your fault! It was obviously you who wanted to hurt others! You deserve it!"

Fubao turned his face away in pain. The bloodstains on the axe had turned black. They had already chopped the man to death last night, but they didn't hear any sound.

How could these honest villagers become such vicious criminals?

Qingyang turned around: "They didn't kill the person..."

The family members were all shocked: "How could someone die? Who died?"

Xiaoshui came back in silence and glanced at Zhang Ercui. She knew who it was instantly, and her whole body was shaking violently. She asked tremblingly, "Where is she?"

Xiao Shui pointed to the bushes beside her and said, "Don't look at it..."

Fu Bao's hair stood on end: "If they didn't kill him, then who did?"

Zhang Cuicui is dead. These people are crazy and dizzy. Although they said they would teach them a lesson, if they really killed someone, it is impossible for them not to be afraid at all and chop people into pieces like that. This is not an accident, it is a vent of anger, it is murder!

No one knew where the man was hiding in the dark, staring at them. If they relaxed, he would bite them like a poisonous snake.

My heart was pounding so hard that it almost jumped into my throat.

Qingyang hesitated for a moment: "She was stabbed in the throat with a knife, and then with an axe..." Cough!!! Xiaoshui gave him an elbow and said coldly: "And the child."

Qingyang calmed down and said, "Anyway, the knife doesn't belong to these people, and it's not at the scene."

Fubao: "Then he is..."

Before she could finish her words, the grass behind her rustled. When she turned around, she was face to face with a face mostly covered in blood!

Silence… Erupts: “Ah!!!!”

Not expecting that the man was right behind him, Fubao ran forward desperately.

The man had no intention of chasing her. He walked out slowly, holding his chest and saying, "That evil woman is looking for you!"

Fubao felt her body lighten. When she looked up, she saw Xiaoshui had already pulled her back.

Li Huaiqing: “What are you going to do!”

The man wiped the blood off his face and said, "I won't kill anyone casually. She died because she deserved to die." He spat out a mouthful of blood and continued, "That evil woman has a vicious heart. She targeted you for no other reason than to take a few people with her when she dies."

Zhang Ercui asked in a trembling voice: "How could it be..."

The man sneered, "Oh - of course not? You are her biological sister, right? She paid fifty taels of silver to buy the lives of your entire family."

Fu Bao's face changed: "Then why didn't you do it? I don't believe in conscience."

The man was obviously stunned for a moment. He didn't expect such a little girl to dare to question him. He said, "She bought my brother. I followed them all the way here. She has not let him go, and the ransom price is getting higher and higher."

Fubao watched Qingyang change his position and half lie on the ox cart, obviously in a state of listening to an opera, so he continued: "If you are so powerful, why not snatch him back?"

The man sneered: "She has the indenture in her hands. Even if my brother comes out, he will have to hide for the rest of his life."

At that time, the sale of slaves was still relatively strict, and escaped slaves were illegal. But Fu Bao still asked the question in his heart: "Why did you kill her? Logically, she was your employer."

The angry voice was filled with grief: "She clearly said that if I kill you, she will not only give me the indenture, but also give us fifty taels of silver. But my brother was beaten to death by her a long time ago! These refugees said that the rich families were really good at beating people. I repeatedly questioned them and found out that it was just because I made her useless son unhappy that she had someone beat my brother to death!"

The whole family fell into silence, and then heard him say: "He was only fifteen years old! I finally earned enough money to redeem him, but my brother will never come back! She deserves to die! She deserves to die!" He cried and every word was heartbreaking.

Fu Bao glanced at Zhang Ercui, who was almost unable to stand: "She's dead? She's dead... Hahahahahaha, she's really dead."

Zhou Qiaoping was frightened by her near-crazy state: "Er Cui? Er Cui! Don't scare me."

Fubao ignored A Niang's objection and stepped forward to hold her hand: "Aunt, cry if you want to."

Zhang Ercui burst into tears instantly and cried, "It's obviously not my fault, why does she always beat me? Why doesn't she let me eat? I'm her biological sister! Why does she have to burn me with an iron? I'm an obedient person..." The unspeakable things were more frightening than the last, and in the end she almost cried herself to death.

Zhou Qiaoping couldn't bear it and looked away, her eyes also reddened.

The man opposite said coldly: "Then consider it as my revenge for you. Just based on this, tell me where I am. I want to leave this damn place."

Fubao looked at Qingyang and saw that he didn't move, so he pointed to a place behind him and said, "Just keep going along this path and don't turn."

The man turned and walked away without hesitation.

Li Huaiqing came over and asked quietly: "Yishu, did the Taoist priest teach you? How did you know it was there?"

Fubao blinked his eyes and said innocently: "Master didn't teach me?"

Li Huaiqing was even more excited, thinking that his granddaughter was a genius and could learn without any instruction: "Then you must have learned by yourself!"

Fubao: "No, I just pointed randomly." After saying that, he dragged Zhao Xiuer and the others into the car, leaving the old man alone in the place doubting his life.
