The Queen's Guide to Wealth

Chapter 69 Jokes
Suddenly there was the sound of swishing arrows in the back outside the forest, and the scene became chaotic in an instant.

Afraid of being accidentally injured, Ah Kuan pulled the person closest to him and lay on the ground with his head in his arms.

It was not clear for a while whether someone came to clean up the robbers, or a group of villains who wanted to black and white were killed from elsewhere.

After a while of confusion, the robbers protected their eldest brother and retreated to the edge of the forest.

Passers-by who were robbed also gathered together to check each other's injuries.

I can't figure out the identity of the person who came, so I can't tell whether it is You or Xi.

Strange to say, the gang attacked the bandits but did not show up.

He only heard the bandit leader yell strangely, "It's them again, retreat quickly." Without looking back, he led his younger brothers and fled elsewhere.

Ah Kuan stood up and looked in the direction of the rain of arrows. The sky had already darkened, and only a dozen or so dark figures could be seen indistinctly.

I just shouted to them from a distance: "It is not suitable to stay in a place of right and wrong for long, you should leave quickly." The voice sounded like a very young girl.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and searched the forest for the messy items that had just been picked up by bandits.

And those black shadows who had chased away the bandits scattered in all directions, and two or three chased after the bandits.

Passing by the edge of the forest, Ah Kuan could see clearly how these people were dressed. If they met on the road, no one would associate them with good people.

Just because these people wrapped their heads and faces with black cloth scarves, and wore short jackets and wide-leg pants, they looked like a group of organized and disciplined ruthless people.

This made Ah Kuan involuntarily curious. In such a troubled world, it is really not easy for a group of people to fight against evil forces.

I don't know if they have a grudge against the bandits, or they are here to rescue the passers-by.

If it wasn't for my own business, I really wanted to make friends with them.

In early winter, the sun gets dark quickly as soon as the sun sets, and the frightened people dare not stay here for a minute longer.

Ah Kuan lit the torch, led them out of the forest, and pointed to a fork in the main road.

"If you are afraid, take a road and go to the village ahead to rest for the night.

Most of the people in the village have gone up the mountain, and there are no people in the village anymore. The bad guys probably won't go there again.

If you hurry on your way after dark, you may encounter some troubles, so it's better to wait until dawn tomorrow. "

Everyone thanked him, and pulled Ah Kuan to ask questions, as if they didn't want to let him go.

Having just suffered such a fright and lost their backbone, Ah Kuan led them out of the woods and helped them arrange a place to go.

For a moment, I had a strong gratitude and trust in Kuan, and I only hoped that Kuan could stay with them until they were safe.

Ah Kuan wanted to settle these people down, so he went after those good people who chased away the bandits.

After such a delay, I will go again, and I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up.

Seeing these terrified people, all counting on him, he decided to be a good person to the end, and took them to a village not far away.

Coincidentally, this village is the one where Jinbo and Jinbao came to.

When Ah Kuan passed by during the day, the whole village couldn't find anyone to ask about the situation, so he just left.

It was getting dark now, and as soon as I walked into the village, I saw a house with a light on the fire. It must be cooking.

Ah Kuan was afraid that so many people would rush over and scare others, so he called an old man and went with him to check the situation first.

As soon as they came to the yard, a mother and son stood in front of the door with big sticks and confronted them.

Ah Kuan hurriedly explained with a smile: "Sister-in-law, we have no malicious intentions, and we are not bad people. This old man's clan came to the capital from other places to participate in the sacrifice.

On the road, I met a robber who was blocking the road and ran away with great difficulty.

In this dark night, I just want to rest at your place for one night. "

After hearing this, the woman put down the stick in her hand: "It's not peaceful recently, and no one cares about the life and death of ordinary people like us.

The ancestral hall in the middle of the village should be able to shelter some wind and rain, so let's go there for the night.

Orphans and widows in my family are not good at entertaining you. "

Ah Kuan nodded and thanked: "Please also ask my sister-in-law to guide us. We outsiders can't go into your village's ancestral hall without saying hello."

The woman was a little embarrassed, but she agreed: "Okay, you two, wait outside."

Hua Luo took off his apron, extinguished the fire in the stove, took the little boy's hand, and limped towards Ah Kuan and the others.

Seeing the dozens of people waiting at the entrance of the village, I couldn't help being startled.

"Is this because the whole village has come out? For a sacrifice, it's okay to lose their family."

The old man stroked his beard and said to the woman with a smile: "Little lady does not know, we have waited eight years for this ceremony.

In the past eight years, from rich to poor, the hardships involved are beyond human understanding. Everyone is waiting for this day.

This is a moment to witness history, how could you not come over and take a look with your own eyes.

The little lady's home is so close to the capital, maybe she doesn't think it's a big deal, but those of us who are far away, just think it's a rare spectacle in our lives.

You have to look at it once before you can close your eyes. "

The little daughter-in-law laughed strangely after hearing it, and said with a smile: "This is simply a big joke, the spectacle that my father said, but we, the people in the suburbs of the capital, built it with blood, sweat and human life.

In the past eight years, they have not had enough to eat and cannot wear warm clothes. Many men have been dragged to work as civilian husbands and have never returned.

Such cannibalism has become a miracle. Doing a ritual and holding a sacrifice can bring back the dead, so that the miserable life they have experienced has never happened.

Don't be kidding, such a big show set up on a stage can only deceive you people who don't know the truth, we have already seen through it. "

The old man frowned, very dissatisfied with the young daughter-in-law's attitude of not revering the gods, and even wanted to preach to her.

Ah Kuan saw it, and hurriedly pulled his clothes. He still wanted to spend the night in the human village, but his beliefs were different, so there was no need to preach to others to cause trouble.

The old man could only shut his mouth, and coughed twice in displeasure.

A group of people followed the young daughter-in-law into the village. Although many courtyards are no longer inhabited, it can still be seen that the village used to have a good living standard.

Many houses are built of bricks and tiles. Although the school and medical center have been abandoned, it can still be seen that it was very grand in the past.

When I came to the ancestral hall in the middle of the village, the door was just wide open, and the dead grass and leaves inside were piled up thickly, and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time.

The ranking of the enshrined statues is also staggered, and it is in a mess.

This can't help but remind Ah Kuan of his own village, and the situation here is similar.

The little daughter-in-law dug out a few candles that were still usable and lit them, and the ancestral hall was suddenly brightened.

"Bring me some food, you can make do with the night here tonight."
