"what--"

Dai Hongmei was pregnant, and an adult sat on her belly, causing her to scream in pain, "Lu Guangzong, what the hell are you doing? I have our son in my belly, get out of the way!!"

"Do you dislike me too? Tell me, you bitch, how dare you dislike me!" Lu Guangzong's mind went into a completely violent state, and he only wanted to vent his anger. When he saw Dai Hongmei still refutating him, he thought of his own humbleness. The more inferior he felt, the more arrogant he became. He wanted to control a person, and he could not tolerate a woman who came up to him and criticized him for being servile.

Jiang Qiu stood up and threw a stone at Lu Guangzong, "Are you sick? You are going crazy every day and even want to kill your own child. Are you still a human being?"

Lu Guangzong turned his head and saw that it was Jiang Qiu, his eyes froze.

Even when a person is crazy, the body mechanism will subconsciously protect you and prevent you from provoking people you cannot afford to offend. Therefore, Lu Guangzong did not go to find Jiang Qiu, but continued to slap the woman under him, because only such a weak person without the ability to refute would be beaten by him.

If you provoke other people.

Then he was the one who was beaten!

Jiang Qiu frowned: "What's wrong with Lu Guangzong? He beat Dai Hongmei to death. Is he crazy? Doesn't he know that she has a child in her belly? It's easy to kill two people."

"Do you want to be in charge?" Lu Ce asked.

Jiang Qiu lowered his eyes, "I don't want to, but if I stand by and watch, my conscience will be condemned."

Lu Ce: "Your conscience is really easily condemned."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ce disappeared beside Jiang Qiu and chopped him on the neck, causing Lu Guangzong to faint on the ground.

Dai Hongmei rolled over holding her stomach, feeling blood flowing out of her lower body: "Help... Can someone come and save me? My stomach hurts, save my child, please, save me..."

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Zou Chengan.

Zou Chengan was calm and collected. Seeing the burning gazes falling on him, he said calmly, "My medicine costs money. If you are willing to pay, I don't mind treating you. Oh, by the way, I forgot to remind you that last time I only received 5,000 taels of silver from one person. Now there is one adult and one child. I will be kind enough to give you less money, 7,000 taels."

Everyone: "..."

In fact, none of the people present here are good people. They were willing to go up the mountain just for the sake of face, and now they are asked to pay real money, so everyone just pretends to be blind.

Zou Chengan also lay down without hesitation.

This kid.

He can save.

But can he survive if he is saved?

Will it be okay if you stay alive?

If it was a boy, it would be a little better, but if it was a girl, she would be beaten like Lu Pandi before, and have no self-respect even more than the lowest slave. Zou Chengan was unwilling to treat her because he really felt that his medicine was not enough.

Seeing that Zou Chengan ignored her, Jiang Qiu had no choice but to watch Dai Hongmei have a miscarriage.

There was silence.

Dai Hongmei lay on the ground with her hands spread out, staring at the sky with empty eyes, not knowing why she was alive.

The sun rises slowly, but it does not bring hope to everyone. The pool of blood under Dai Hongmei's body gives everyone a very direct visual impact. This is a human life.

Lay naked before your eyes.

Jiang Qiu felt like vomiting.

She felt that even if she came here a hundred times, she would not be able to accept the fact that someone had met with an accident right in front of her.

Her parents committed suicide.

The people who fell from a great height were so disfigured when they lay flat on the ground that they did not hesitate at all. The police said that they did not resist at all when they fell and were determined to die.

She knows why.

Because mom and dad don't want to drag her down.

She...hated death.

Jiang Qiu lowered his eyes and began to make breakfast.

People come and go, but life has to go on. If she is not feeling well, she can rest, but if she is feeling upset, no one can tell. If she tells others about it, she will be considered pretentious.

"Hey...where is my uncle?" Lu Mingyue asked, scratching his head.

Jiang Qiu: "Go catch chickens."

*

Lu Ce, who was catching chickens, came to the place where he was last night. Looking at the mountains in front of him, a suspicion gradually formed in his heart. It seemed that the Fifth Prince’s mine was not far from here. Then why were they constantly shouting here?

Lu Ce had scouted the enemy camp before when he was in the army, so it was naturally easy for him to sneak into this place where there was no big shot in charge.

Waves of heat and clanging sounds resounded through the valley, and wisps of smoke could be vaguely seen drifting in the wind. When Lu Ce actually stepped in, he saw a hot world with leaping flames before his eyes. The blazing fire was like the brightest star at night, illuminating everything around it in red.

A group of blacksmiths were sweating profusely, the muscles in their arms bulging with the hammering action, and every swing of the hammer condensed the essence of strength and skill.

Sparks flew and intertwined with the steam, like fireworks blooming in the dark, or like morning mist rising in the sun.

The iron pieces in the blacksmith's hands gradually deformed under the flames and hammering, as if they had experienced the tempering of rebirth.

The material that was once as hard as rock gradually became soft, and finally, under the skillful hands of the blacksmith, it became a sharp tool.

Lu Ce's eyes were full of mystery.

I thought to myself: Make weapons!

I just don't know who this weapon belongs to.

Finished ironware is piled up in the corner of the room, and behind the blacksmith, a basin of cold water is quietly waiting to quench the ironware, hoping to obtain the toughest quality between the fierce fire and the icy water.

The world outside the mountain is noisy and chaotic, but here there is only the sound of hammering accompanied by the mountain breeze, beautiful and eerie.

If the master they follow becomes an emperor, this group of people will have a bright future. But if they fail, or if they remain silent, they will have to stay in the mountains forever, never seeing the light of day.

Every step in creating a great cause requires the sacrifice of many people. My father said at the beginning: "Let's seek stability first, and when the people's lives are a little better, we can talk about other things."

He didn't want the common people to suffer from war, but that position was so coveted that anyone who could get close to the throne had no choice but to covet it.

Lu Ce hid among them and watched for a moment before turning around to catch the chicken and take out the eggs. When he brought them back to Jiang Qiu, he found that she was unhappy and guessed that she was upset about the loss of human life again.

Although she is a female ghost, her personality is very simple. When facing the dead, no matter who they are, she has a special kind of compassion.

So he comforted her, "Jiang Qiu, you don't have to take it to heart. When we go to Qiongzhou, there will be a shortage of supplies, poor mountains and bad waters, and countless corrupt officials. There will definitely be many disasters, and the number of dead bodies you see will increase each time."

Jiang Qiu rolled his eyes: "Thank you!"
