At this moment, there was a loud bang, and the whole stone house shook. Lai Pi Si was startled and hurried out to check.
"what happened?"
His four brothers came running in from outside: "Fourth brother, the noise is coming from the back mountain, it sounds like thunder."
"Nonsense, what season is it and there's still thunder?"
When they heard the second sound, Lai Pi Si was worried and locked the door of the stone house. Several people went to the mine to check, but they didn't expect that the mine was in chaos and miners ran out everywhere.
Hiding in the dark, they saw Kang Shao ordering the hunt for the miners who had escaped, not letting any of them go, and sealing the exit of the mine to prevent anyone inside from escaping.
At this time, he also heard Kang Shao and the man dressed as a scholar say that the loud noise must have been man-made and that they were afraid that someone had sneaked into the mine. Afterwards, he saw Kang Shao send people to surround the entire mine tightly. He and the scholar personally led a large group of guards and entered the mine through a secret passage.
When Lai Pi Si saw that Kang Shao and the others had gone to the mine and the village had become almost a deserted city, he immediately became bolder. He ordered his four brothers to search the village for property, and he went to the stone house to find Sun Zhenzhen.
This time, Sun Zhenzhen was on guard. As soon as Lai Pi Si entered the room, he was not paying attention and was knocked unconscious by Sun Zhenzhen with a club.
Sun Zhenzhen hurriedly tied up Lai Pi Si and threw him on the bed. She knew there were four more of Lai Pi Si's men outside.
She quietly ran out to find Guard Liu, but unfortunately she couldn't find him. She went to the village to find a few guards and reported that Lai Pi Si was trying to escape, and also said that his four brothers were looting property in the village.
This was a big deal, so several guards quickly captured the four men and executed them. Lai Pi Si had already been tied up, so they locked him up in a stone house and waited until dawn for Guard Liu to deal with him.
Just as dawn broke, there was another deafening roar, followed by the earth collapsing. Sun Zhenzhen watched the house collapse, and she hadn't even had time to pack up her new clothes! She hadn't even taken a single piece of jewelry with her.
When Sun Zhenzhen was sitting on the ground crying and wailing, Mo Yu and others arrived.
Mo Yu and his companions rescued more than a dozen women chained in the stone house. Some of the women had just been brought there and were still crying and complaining, but those who had been there for a long time were numb and didn't cry, make a fuss, or speak.
Mo Yu had no intention of taking care of these women, so he could only let them find a safe place and wait for the government to come and resettle them.
Those poor women were very grateful to Moyu and his companions, but Moyu never expected that there was another woman who refused to leave no matter what.
Mo Yu looked carefully and saw clearly that this was Sun Zhenzhen. He was surprised. This Sun Zhenzhen must know where Lai Pi Si is.
After several people used threats and inducements, they finally found out that Lai Pi Si was inside the collapsed stone house.
Moyu and the others moved some rubble and finally saw Lai Pi Si. They say that the King of Hell fears the wicked, and it's true. Lai Pi Si is actually alive. However, a huge rock was pressing down on his feet. Moyu picked up a knife and cut off his feet directly, then dragged him out. As long as he was still breathing, he would be fine.
When Sun Zhenzhen saw the bloody man with his leg chopped off, she was so scared that she fainted.
Moyu didn't dare to stay. The three of them immediately set off for Chunshui Town. They wanted to see Xinyue. They were afraid that if they were too late, this scoundrel would die and their journey would be worthless.
After the village chief of Daxi Village learned about the accident at the mine, he knew it was a serious matter, so he went to the county government office without stopping and told it about the collapse of Dongling Mountain. The county government sent people to check, and sure enough, the entire mine had collapsed, and no one was found alive. The county government sent people to seal off Dongling Mountain.
The yamen runners went to Laochen Village to investigate and rescued dozens more women, including the unconscious Sun Zhenzhen. These women were sent to the county yamen, and their families were notified to come and claim them.
The next day was the day for ancestor worship in Daxi Village. The beating of gongs and drums began early in the morning, and the village was extremely lively.
Yun Qing, dressed in plain clothes, carried the offerings to Dongling Mountain. Mu Qingcheng did not go with her, and Yun Qing only brought Feng Zhishang with her. Mo Bing wanted to go with her, but was also rejected.
Mu Qingcheng knew that Yun Qing didn't want others to see his vulnerable side at this moment, so early in the morning, she dragged Mo Bing, Mo Xue, Zi Jin, and Zi Pei to watch the New Year pig slaughtering.
I didn't expect that slaughtering the New Year pig would be quite interesting. The village paid for the pig as a reward for the entire village. In previous years, only five pigs were slaughtered, and each household received a portion as a symbolic gift for good luck. After all, not everyone can afford to eat meat.
This year was different. With the arrival of the Mu family, the whole village prospered. The village chief ordered eight pigs to be slaughtered this year, with each household receiving a larger share. The villagers were so delighted by the news that they almost broke out in song and dance.
Mu Qingcheng was infected by the atmosphere. She told the village chief that she wanted to donate money to add ten more sheep to the village. Tonight, they would roast a whole lamb in the threshing ground in the center of the village for everyone to celebrate.
Wow! The villagers went wild with joy when the news came out. Mu Huoqingcheng immediately took action and gave the young men in the village money to buy sheep.
That evening, ten bonfires lit up in the threshing ground, sizzling with fat lambs. Little Mu Yao squatted before a roasted whole lamb, staring intently, as if she wanted to take a bite. Mo Xue, who had been sitting quietly nearby, saw this and, for the first time, smiled.
The sparks warmed the surroundings, and the fragrance floated in the night sky, even making the moon's face look bigger.
Yun Qing returned in the evening, just as the bonfire was already lit. The villagers were singing and dancing around the fire.
Yun Qing leaned against Mu Qingcheng and looked very tired. Mu Qingcheng knew that he was in a bad mood, so she didn't go to have fun with the villagers. They sat by the campfire, leaning against each other, watching the lively scene in front of them.
"Oh my! Our Daxi Village hasn't been this lively in years. This is all thanks to you two, brother and sister. You are the lucky stars of our village!"
The village chief came over with a bowl of wine. Whether it was because he had drunk wine or because he was too excited, his face was as red as a monkey's butt. Mu Qingcheng wanted to laugh when she saw him.
"Come on, come on, drink, drink. This is my toast to you two."
The village chief poured a bowl of wine and handed it to Yun Qing. Mu Qingcheng quickly snatched it away. "You're kidding!" Yun Qing was about to be detoxified. He had to give up alcohol while taking the medicine. She had already told him this in advance.
"My brother can't drink." Mu Qingcheng refused seriously.
The village chief's face turned even redder. How could he have forgotten that Master Mu was poisoned and couldn't drink alcohol?
"Oh! I forgot about it because I was so happy. Well, let's drink!"
Ah! Mu Qingcheng was dumbfounded when she saw the wine handed to her by the village chief. She had never drunk alcohol in her life!
Just as Mu Qingcheng was stunned, a slender hand took the wine bowl.
Yun Qing really wanted to drink. Just as the wine was about to reach his lips, Mu Qingcheng angrily reached for the other side of the bowl and drank the wine in one gulp.
Yun Qing: “…” He was stunned!
