Chapter 224 Wu's True Face
Lin Shu, who was hiding in the mountains, smelled a strong smell of blood in the air, and the shouting and killing sounds did not stop all night.
At dawn, two brothers in tattered cotton clothes appeared in the mountains.
With a long knife in one hand and a stick in the other, he carefully moved down the mountain.
The people who were forced into the mountains like them formed small groups.
When the brothers passed by a small group, they were stopped by a sudden voice.
"It's you, big brother! Can you take us with you?"
When Shopkeeper Wang saw the familiar young man again, he immediately spoke up.
When rushing out of the refugee camp, he was extremely impressed by the boy's courageous and resolute swordsmanship.
Even the little boy on his back was killed without blinking an eye.
This made Manager Wang even more convinced that it would be right to follow the two men.
Most of the guards he brought with him were killed in the fight.
If they hadn't led the team, they would never have been able to break out of the encirclement.
"no!"
Lin Hongyi refused outright and quickly went down the mountain with Lin Shu.
They had to leave here before dawn, the farther the better.
The shouts and cries of killing rang in my ears like a death warrant.
Manager Wang was not angry when he was rejected, as he believed that all masters have their own tempers.
Besides, in these chaotic times, even he was unwilling to bring two strangers with him.
What’s more, there are capable masters.
"Let's go too."
At a command from Manager Wang, the injured guard stepped forward to lead the carriage.
The wife and children were so frightened that they hid in the carriage and have not yet recovered.
The youngest son had not drunk a drop of water and had a high fever.
Fortunately, he knew medicine and had some pills with him, which helped to reduce the fever.
As soon as Manager Wang's carriage started moving, many people followed suit.
Many people also recognized the young man who led them out of the siege.
Then they must follow this guardian god, and some people are willing to be responsible for the guardian god's three meals a day.
Then wouldn't their safety be more guaranteed?
...
Hearing the noise behind them, the two brothers squeezed each other's hands and strode forward.
On the avenue, the two brothers walked forward towards the first ray of sunshine.
A long line of people followed behind, with only a few horse and mule carts.
More people were taking small steps and running panting heavily.
Of those who escaped, only three out of ten survived.
They face the rising sun and chase after people who can bring them hope.
...
The refugees hiding in the mountains and forests also heard the shouting and killing sounds all night long.
All hopes were shattered by this shout.
Their relatives died or scattered, and the surviving refugees didn’t know where to go.
Exhausted physically and mentally, some refugees shouted the names of their loved ones and jumped off the cliff.
After Liu cried for a while, the depression in her heart was mostly gone and she felt much better.
She felt a burning pain in her stomach, and everything she saw was double, and she knew she would not live long.
"Youcai, I'm afraid it won't work for me.
"Give me something hot to eat, so I can have a good meal on the way." Liu grabbed Wu Youcai's hand and begged.
“Mom, you’re going to be fine.
Your younger brother and sister are missing, how can you bear to abandon them?
Besides, where can I get you food?
The foot of the mountain is full of soldiers, arresting anyone they see, and the porridge stalls are gone." Wu Youcai said bitterly.
A hint of displeasure flashed across his lowered eyes. As soon as his mother woke up, she caught him and caused trouble.
He is a man, not a god.
He still likes that fierce mother who will protect them at all times.
When Wu Youcai saw Liu's gray hair, his eyes were filled with sadness.
Only then did he truly realize it.
Mother is old and can no longer protect them from the wind and rain.
...
“Liu, chew a few leaves to moisten your throat and stop making things difficult for the boss.
The third and fourth brothers went out to look for food, and they haven't come back yet."
Uncle Wu gathered a handful of leaves, chewed two yellow leaves himself, and shared the tenderer ones with his son and Liu.
The leaves in winter are dry and have little moisture. When you chew them, your mouth is full of bitterness.
"Leaves again. You feed these to the patient. Do you want me to die faster?"
When Liu saw the dry leaves, she became furious and howled at the top of her lungs.
"Why don't you go find your good sister? Who helped her when her family was in poverty?
Now that he is rich and powerful, he no longer recognizes us, his poor relatives.
She didn't even come to look for us, is she still human? "
"Mom, how can you say that about my aunt!" Wu Youcai frowned and said disapprovingly.
"What, did I say something wrong?
If it weren't for her, would we have ended up like this?
He had fields and business at home, but he gave up his job and insisted on following them to escape the famine.
There is nothing now, even your brother and sister are missing.
She is just a troublemaker. She is not welcomed by her husband’s family, so she comes back to stir up trouble in her own family…”
"Crack~"
Uncle Wu was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, but he kept holding back his punches.
Finally, he couldn't help it and slapped Liu in the face.
Liu, who was already weak, was slapped in anger and flew away, hitting the tree trunk next to her.
‘Ugh~’
He spat out a mouthful of dark red blood, and his heavy heart felt a little relieved.
She pulled her sleeve to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked at Uncle Wu with bloodshot eyes.
"Heh~ cough cough~
Wu Daniu, you must have disliked me for a long time!
Ever since I married into the Wu family, you three brothers have only had eyes for your sister.
Delicious food and nice clothes were sent to her room as much as possible.
Do you know why she married into a group of wicked people? "
Liu's face was distorted and she laughed triumphantly.
"Hahaha!
Because the matchmaker took two taels of silver from me, I specially arranged for her to meet Lin Erzhuang.
Every time she came back to her parents' home, she would cry to me about how bad her life was.
The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, so of course she has to be taught that her husband’s family is the most important.
As a woman, you have to work hard and serve your husband's family without complaint, and you must not bring shame to your own family.
Hahaha, everything is going according to my plan.
But why did she want to split up and move back to her parents' home?
She deserves to die, she deserved to die long ago!"
...
'Buzzing...'
Uncle Wu felt dizzy and his head was buzzing.
why why……
How could Liu, who has always been virtuous and hardworking, become so terrible?
I have no grudge against her, why did she treat her like that?
They are siblings from the same mother, isn't it right for him to be nice to the younger sister?
Before their mother died, she personally entrusted her younger sister to the three brothers.
They promised mother that they would take good care of little sister.
Uncle Wu never expected that he would marry a poisonous snake who had already set his sights on the kind-hearted younger sister.
Every time he earned money, he would hand over most of it to Liu.
What's not to like?
“Hehe~Hehe~
Liu, oh Liu, it is such an injustice for you to marry into my family and become a peasant woman.
The palace is where you should go.
You are such a scourge, you cannot stay in this world and harm people any more."
Uncle Wu walked towards Liu step by step, pulled her up, and ran towards the cliff in a few steps.
"Ah~ Help!"
After Liu screamed, there was only the cold wind whistling past the cliff.
The refugees who were eating melons stared in amazement at what was happening before their eyes.
They hadn’t eaten enough melons yet, so how come the person disappeared?
