Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

County Magistrate Huang put away the letter in his hand, and his tone was emotionless.

"There's no way they'd admit it so easily, but one thing is certain: they stole my gold and jewelry."

“They are the only ones who have that ability.”

County Magistrate Huang stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and asked, "How's the situation at Xiongba Stronghold?"

"They are quite honest. They haven't caused any trouble recently. They handed over part of the goods they received to us." Master Zhao replied.

County Magistrate Huang nodded. "Well, as long as they behave themselves, it's fine. Things have been going badly lately, so we need them to behave themselves and not let the people at the imperial court get hold of anything against us."

"Okay, sir. I'll go warn them right away." Master Zhao bowed.

County Magistrate Huang leaned back in a pearwood chair and waved his hand, "Go ahead, but be discreet."

As soon as Mr. Zhao left, County Magistrate Huang took out the letter he had just read, stood up, walked to the bookshelf and opened the secret cabinet.

“Z—”

The bookshelf in front of me split in two and slowly opened, revealing a dark room...

County Magistrate Huang walked in slowly and lit a candle on the stone wall. In an instant, the dark room was dimly lit. It was filled with tools for punishing people, such as whips, iron rods, iron hooks, and rattan sticks. There was blood on each tool.

In the middle of the dark room was a stone bed, on which was tied a man with his limbs bound. He was dressed in tattered clothes, his face obscured by his hair, and his features could not be seen clearly. He was so skinny that his clothes were covered with black and brown spots accumulated over the years, and there was not a single piece of healthy skin on his exposed body.

The person lying on the stone bed saw that County Magistrate Huang was extremely excited, and his face covered by his hair looked particularly ferocious, as if he was about to pounce on County Magistrate Huang and bite his neck hard in the next second to relieve his anger.

County Magistrate Huang did not look at the person on the stone bed, but walked straight to a wooden basin filled with unknown water and placed the letter in the water. After a while, the letter that was originally a single piece of paper slowly turned into two letters...

.....

night.

It's a beautiful night with a bright moon and sparse stars, and it's also a good night to go out and look for gold.

On the edge of the cliff, hundreds of them followed a tuft of white hair, stood on their legs, and suddenly knelt down facing the bright moon, absorbing the essence of the moonlight.

Two hours later, a weasel with a tuft of white hair stood up, barked twice, and turned around and ran away.

The hundred or so weasels behind him followed, rushing towards the mountain with a common goal, running towards the direction of Xiongba Mountain Stronghold.

On the other side, a green snake also swam towards the direction where the weasel ran. Recently, the green snake tasted the sweetness of the Spirit Gathering Pill. It grew very tall and fat, and did not need to hibernate at all.

The Green Snake was a little anxious because it had recently run out of Spirit Gathering Pills. Without the protection of the Spirit Gathering Pills, it would freeze to death in the cave.

Now the green snake always thinks of the sunny weather that day when a three-year-old child drooled and caught it in his hands. From then on, it was at the top of luck, surviving a disaster and accidentally getting a spirit gathering pill.

A snake and a group of weasels suddenly met at the foot of Xiongba Mountain Stronghold.

The green snake straightened its body and looked down at the weasel pack.

The weasels stood upright on their two legs, raised their heads fearlessly, and barked at the green snake.

The two sides confronted each other, neither giving in at all.

They both smelled a familiar scent on each other, which was spiritual energy.

And this spiritual energy is unique to the Spirit Gathering Pill.

Competitor!

This sentence immediately popped up in both parties' minds.

The tension is on the verge of breaking out.

At the same time, both sides moved...

Rushed towards the stronghold immediately.

The weasel ran ahead on all fours, and the green snake was not far behind, only one step behind. With a whoosh, the green snake jumped to the front.

I saw a group of weasels racing with a green snake on a steep road in the forest. Every time the green snake swam a distance, it would suddenly jump up and rush to the front, making the weasels very angry.

The snake came to steal their gold and jewelry.

Coincidentally, Green Snake also thought so. It was Green Snake who first discovered this village. It was extremely difficult to drag the golden Buddha statue at that time. It took a long time to drag it to the Yuan family yard.

The movements of the weasel and the green snake alarmed the night watch bandits in Xiongba Mountain Stronghold.

"who!"

"Who is there? Come out!"

The green snake and the weasel stopped at the same time and looked at each other. A tuft of white hair decisively emerged from the bushes and appeared in front of the bandits, squeaking and climbing up a tree.

When the bandits saw that it was just a weasel, they continued to sit back on the ground holding the machetes in their hands.

The fire in front of them crackled, and the temperature around them gradually rose. The bandits gathered their clothes together and dozed off.

There were more than 400 bandits in Xiongba Mountain Stronghold. More than a dozen small houses surrounded the more spacious house in the middle, protecting the middle house firmly.

The green snake and a group of weasels decided to cooperate briefly.

............

Yaoyao was sleeping on her back, wearing a cotton-padded jacket that Shen Chulan had worked up late to make. It was stuffed full of cotton and it was very warm to sleep in. She was not worried that the two adults would pull off the quilt on Yaoyao after they fell asleep and let her catch a cold.

Two pink and chubby little hands and chubby little feet were exposed, which made Shen Chulan and Yuan Laoer so cute.

"Yaoyao is so cute, as beautiful as you." Yuan Laoer's dark face looked particularly tender under the candlelight.

Shen Chulan looked shy, punched Yuan Laoer's chest with her hand, and scolded, "Be serious."

Yuan Laoer chuckled and took hold of his wife's hand.

"I'm telling the truth. Yaoyao looks just like you."

Yaoyao's appearance combines all the advantages of the couple. Her facial features are particularly delicate, and her eyelashes are thick and curled like two small fans. She is especially cute when she blinks and stares at you.

She has a small and delicate nose, a bright red cherry mouth, a round face with a double chin, and a plump body, like a bucket in the yard.

Very cute.

The two looked at each other tenderly, and Xiao Hei, who was lying on the ground, quickly covered his eyes.

Don’t look at anything that’s inappropriate, don’t look at anything that’s inappropriate.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed." Yuan Laoer pulled the quilt on Shen Chulan.

At this time, Old Man Yuan was feeling hot all over, but he also knew that Shen Chulan had just given birth and it was not suitable for her to be disturbed.

"Okay, you should go to bed quickly too. You still have to help dig the cellar tomorrow." Shen Chulan said.

After a long time, the couple began to breathe evenly.

Apparently asleep.

Suddenly, Yaoyao opened her eyes sleepily, lay down on the bed and looked up at the bright moon outside the window.

The moon is round and bright tonight, which is suitable for committing crimes against the wind.
