Chapter 343 They all deserve to die

In the dim and cold house, on the dark red chopping board, strips of red and white meat were piled up into a waist-high mountain of meat.

In the corner of the room, there were three large vats placed in disorder. The water in the vats had turned blood red, and the surface of the vats looked like a deep pool, which made people feel chilly just by looking at it.

But this was not what made Liu Qingcao feel uncomfortable. What made her blood boil was the burning fire on the wall.

The fire pit was burned beyond recognition, with unrecognizable heads of men and women and unspeakable human tissues.

Even though she had seen this a lot in the hospital before, she couldn't help feeling cold.

Liu Qingcao closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and said word by word: "Liu Liu, burn it."

Liu Liu had been paying attention to Liu Qingcao, and only felt relieved when he saw that her face was calm and her breathing was steady.

"Miss, were those four people also burned together?" Liu Liu glanced coldly at the door of the opposite room and spoke softly.

Liu Qingcao paused and frowned slightly.

These four people deserve to die, but we cannot let them die like this.

"Take them with you. Keep them here for now."

Liu Qingcao glanced at Huo Long indifferently, then turned around and left dejectedly.

In the ancestral hall, Liu Wu had already asked Yuan Bachi and the others to reunite with their relatives. Only a few of them were staring blankly at a corner and crying.

When Liu Wu saw Liu Qingcao coming back, he immediately ran up to him with red eyes.

"Girl, what happened to them?"

After saying that, Liu Wu raised his hand and pointed at the men in the corner.

Liu Qingcao looked up, pursed her lips and sighed.

"They have lost the will to live."

Liu Wu exclaimed, "Then they are not, they are not seeking death!"

Liu Qingcao did not comment, but waved his hand and asked Liu Liu to bring the person in.

The noise made by Liu Liu and his men entering the ancestral hall was quite loud. When the people in the hall heard the noise, they all looked sideways. When they saw the four people at the door of the ancestral hall, the whole hall became chaotic.

"They are the ones in charge. They took our son and daughter away." The woman next to Yuan Bachi pointed at the four people with trembling hands and shouted with red eyes.

Yuan Bachi's indifferent gaze suddenly turned fierce. He rushed over and hit one of them on the head with all his strength.

The woman ignored the strict rules between men and women and followed Yuan Bachi one step further to the four men, then started scratching their faces with her hands.

"You evil bastards, give me back my child, give me back my child, give me back my child!!!"

After a while, the four men who had no choice but to escape were covered in wounds.

The shouts for mercy brought the people in the ancestral hall back to their senses. Soon, a group of people rushed forward, squeezed towards the four people, and beat them up.

The villagers in the ancestral hall were all silent when they saw this scene, and they huddled together and trembled.

With red eyes, Yuan Bachi and his men had no idea of ​​the strength of their subordinates. By the time they were too tired to come to their senses, the four men had already died.

Yuan Bachi looked at the man lying on the ground, deformed by the beatings they had done, and he didn't know what to feel.

Liu Qingcao saw that they were confused and a little flustered, and knew that the time was almost up.

"Liu Wu, go and call Liu San and Liu Si." Liu Qingcao turned his head and spoke softly to Liu Wu.

Liu Wu didn't ask any more questions and turned and left.

"Liu Liu, take them to the end of the village. No matter what these people do, you must not interfere, except to die."

"Yes, girl." Liu Liu's cold eyes swept across the villagers, and he walked up to Yuan Bachi and the others and said a few words. When Yuan Bachi and the others heard it, their faces suddenly changed, and without waiting for Liu Liu to say more, they all quickly followed.

Not long after Liu Liu and his men left, Liu San and Liu Si hurried over.

"girl."

Liu Qingcao nodded slightly, raised her hand and pointed at the villagers, saying in a cold tone, "Take these people to the end of the village first, Liu Liu will tell you what to do next."

Liu San and Liu Si looked at each other and walked decisively towards the group of tied villagers.

"Everyone, stand up. If you don't want to leave, you can lose your legs." Liu San acted like a bandit leader and didn't have a good face for these people at all.

There were many children among the villagers. After being yelled at by Liu San, they immediately started crying. The women nearby hurried to comfort them, fearing that Liu San would get angry and break their children's hands and feet.

Liu San's eyebrows tightened, and he said impatiently, "Hurry up, if you delay any longer, you won't have this child anymore."

After Liu San finished speaking, he walked forward, picked up a fat kid, and walked straight out of the ancestral hall regardless of how the people behind him shouted.

Seeing this, Liu Si also picked up a child and said, "Follow me. If anyone dares to have other ideas, don't blame me for taking action."

The villagers were terrified and dared not speak out any objection, so they could only follow carefully.

After the others left, Liu Qingcao went into the carriage.

Once you enter the carriage, you disappear into space.

She came in at this time just because she didn't want to waste time outside. Liu Xiao and the others were smart people. They knew what to do and she didn't need to worry too much.

In the space, Liu Qingcao began to grow medicinal herbs. Now that she has Qinxin and Eryi to grow food and drive the livestock, her pressure is relieved a little.

Originally, they could help with the medicinal herbs, but it was a little more difficult than growing crops. After all, the herbs were planted far away and there were fish ponds nearby, which they couldn't see. If something went wrong, they would be in big trouble.

She thought that after the snowstorm, all things would come back to life, but the people who died in the snowstorm would be the most troublesome.

If handled properly, people's lives will have hope. If handled poorly, it will be the next disaster.

By that time, although some medical clinics and pharmacies had medicinal materials, they were used in limited quantities and were difficult to replenish.

There is no medicine to be used. If one cannot be suppressed, the result can be imagined.

Liu Qingcao felt that her life was too difficult. She wanted to ignore it, but was afraid of bringing harm to the people around her. She was overwhelmed and had no choice but to work harder every day.

There were people helping her grow crops, and there was plenty of grain stored in the warehouse, so she was not so anxious.

What is most lacking now is livestock and poultry breeding and medicinal herb cultivation, and these things all depend on her alone.

Right now, it’s unclear where the snow disaster covers. Even if a small portion of the imperial city is affected, a lot of things will be needed.

"In order to solve the problem once and for all in the future, we can't retreat from this step no matter what." Liu Qingcao held the iron hoe in his hand and dug firmly into the black soil.

Only after all the medicinal seeds in the basket were planted did Liu Qingcao have time to stop and rest for a while.

This medicinal field is very large and contains many species. The precious medicinal materials take three to five days longer to grow, but even so, she has stockpiled a lot in just nearly three months.

"Girl, it's time for lunch."

Liu Qingcao heard Liu Wu's voice and quickly tidied her clothes and came out.

For lunch today, she specifically asked Liu Wu to prepare vegetarian food, not for any other reason, but just to prevent the people here from wasting food.

Although it is good to have meat to eat at this time, when Yuan Bachi and his group come back and see the meat in the food, I am afraid they will not be able to eat it.

"Liu Wu, let's set off after lunch. We can't waste any more time here." Liu Qingcao looked up at the falling snow, secretly calculating the time in his heart.

It had been more than half a month since they arrived here. Old Man Niu had told her that the soldiers in the north did not have much food to eat and could only last for two months at most.

Liu Wu knew what Liu Qingcao was worried about and just nodded in agreement.

Liu Qingcao followed Liu Wu into the school room. There was no one at the table, only the food on it.

A wooden barrel of white rice, a bowl of fried pickled vegetables, a bowl of spicy and sour broad beans, and a pot of charcoal-fired egg soup, rich and appetizing.

However, only she and Liu Xiao could have several dishes in one meal, while others could only have thick porridge with dried vegetables stewed in oil.

Liu Xiao and his companions ate one after another, and after finishing their meal they left the igloo to look after the things on the sled. Liu Qingcao ate alone to the end, and just as he was about to call Liu Si to clear the table, he saw Liu Wu rushing in in a hurry.

"girl."

"What happened?" Liu Qingcao looked at Liu Wu calmly. Liu Wu suppressed his restlessness and spoke under Liu Qingcao's calm gaze, "Not long after those villagers had lunch, they all fell to the ground. When we noticed, most of them were already dead. Those villagers were dragged to a house nearby. After Liu Liu checked, he found that these villagers were poisoned."

"How many people died?" Liu Qingcao frowned.

She would never use these villagers. Their crimes were serious, and it would be impossible to get rid of them all without anyone knowing.

This situation now surprised her.

"We only rescued less than 20 people." Liu Wu didn't know what Liu Qingcao was thinking. He thought she was sad, so he frowned and comforted her, "These villagers have long lost their conscience. Miss, don't be sad for them."

Liu Qingcao's eyes flickered, and he nodded without making any excuses. "Liu Wu, can you find out who did it?"

"Girl, the man is still alive. He is a weak man. His name is Liu An. He looks fair and gentle, but he is so vicious." Liu Wu curled his lips and snorted in disgust.

"Let's go and take a look." Liu Qingcao didn't wait for Liu Wu to respond and walked straight towards the ancestral hall.

Liu Wu sniffed, and before he could say anything to persuade him, he quickly followed.

Outside the house next to the ancestral hall, Yuan Bachi and his men had already surrounded the gate tightly.

"The girl is coming, everyone get out of the way." Liu Wu's voice came from behind. Yuan Bachi and his group paused, and immediately stepped aside.

Liu Qingcao walked past them and headed straight into the house.

In the house, a pile of corpses with black and purple skin were piled up to the height of a human wall. Most of them had painful expressions on their faces and their eyes were wide open. Fortunately, she had a lot of experience, otherwise she would have been frightened by this scene.

On the other side of the pile of corpses, a dozen people were squatting on the ground with terrified faces and lifeless eyes, completely ignoring the coldness of the ice and snow.

Looking at this group of people, Liu Qingcao couldn't help but sigh. This was really retribution. It made people feel no sympathy at all.

"Liu An?" Liu Qingcao called softly.

A man with disheveled hair in the crowd suddenly turned his head. His eyes were red and filled with madness. He looked at the person who spoke in front of him, with a grin on his face.

Liu Qingcao stared at him for a while without changing his expression, then snorted and mocked him, "You are really cruel. You even spared the villagers from the same village. I wonder what kind of upbringing your parents gave you."

Liu An's face changed and he twisted his body in anger. He found that no matter how he pulled his arms, he couldn't get rid of the ropes, and he became even more annoyed.

After struggling for half an incense stick of time, Liu An finally calmed down. It was not that he gave up struggling, but that he fainted due to exhaustion.

Looking at Liu An lying on the ground, Liu Qingcao called Liu Liu without any sympathy.

"Liu Liu, wake him up."

Liu Liu received the order and looked at Liu An on the ground. Her cold eyes deepened. She reached to her side with her right hand and a long red whip suddenly appeared in her fair palm.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Three whip shadows flew straight towards Liu An on the ground, and then a shrill scream was heard.

"You, you will die a horrible death!" Liu An glared at Liu Qingcao fiercely, but the words he said did not have any threat at all. Instead, he was whipped by Liu Liu again.

Liu Qingcao looked at Liu An who was gritting his teeth at her and chuckled, "Why, what I said is wrong?"

Liu An choked, moved his lips, but did not refute in the end.

He did not regret anything he had done, he just hated that he was alone and weak and could not accomplish anything.

Seeing that he had calmed down and stopped irritating her, Liu Qingcao knew that there was a reason for this and she had to find out why this man did this. As for what to do with the people, there were not many of them left, so she could just take them to the government office and she didn't need to worry about it.

"What good will this do for you? Isn't it just to save one person's life?"

Liu An lowered his eyebrows and his messy hair did not look like a scholar at all. Hearing Liu Qingcao's words, he snorted in derision and spoke in a hoarse voice with hatred in his eyes.

"They all deserve to die, all deserve to die!"

Liu Qingcao was stunned, not understanding the meaning of Liu An's words.

Damn it?

Shouldn't he die?
Although I thought so, I didn't say it out loud.

"Why should he die?" Liu Qingcao's tone was as calm as water, as if he was not curious at all.

Liu Liu looked at Liu An's almost distorted face and frowned.

Although Liu An looked gentle, what he did was not as simple as it seemed. Especially the act of drugging, it was really too insidious and cruel.

The surviving villagers nearby also raised their heads and looked at Liu An angrily, wanting to know why he had done such a cruel thing to them.

Liu An didn't care about the villagers' gazes. All the suffering he had endured over the years was caused by this group of greedy villagers. Without these people, he, Liu An, would not have ended up like this!
"Oh, he deserves to die. Why bother asking why?" Liu An gritted his teeth and spoke hatefully word by word.

Liu Qingcao became impatient and turned his gaze towards the villagers, only to find that these people were evasive and did not dare to look directly at people.

Seeing them like this, Liu Qingcao naturally guessed something, but this matter had little to do with her, so there was no need to waste any more time here.

"Alright, they are all guilty. Liu Xiao, take them with you and hand them over to the bailiffs when we get to the government office."

"Yes, girl." Liu Xiao's voice was cold. He turned around and pulled the person on the ground up and walked outside. The villager was weak after being poisoned and had no ability to struggle. He had to let Liu Xiao drag him away.

Liu An watched the villagers leave one by one. He changed his previous crazy expression, twisted his body on the ground in panic, knelt in front of Liu Qingcao, and looked at the people in front of him with an uneasy expression.

"Little girl, no, no, miss, miss, please let me go, I am a scholar, I can't go to the government office, I can't, I can't go."

"I am not guilty. It is these villagers who are guilty. I have done nothing. Please let me go."

Liu Qingcao looked at Liu An, who kept kowtowing, with a cold face. Her heart suddenly turned cold. In her opinion, Liu An's words were very contradictory to his previous behavior.

As for why, based on what Yuan Bachi said and what she saw, she knew the reason without having to think too much.

"Take him away!" Liu Qingcao shouted softly without any sympathy.

There are many people like Liu An, but few can do what he does.

When Liu An heard Liu Qingcao's words, he paused, and untied the rope with his hands behind his back. Then he suddenly jumped up from the ground and tried to pounce on the person in front of him.

Unfortunately, Liu Wu would never give him this opportunity. She kicked Liu An in the chest, and he flew backwards without any preparation.

"Girl, I'm going to tie that guy up." Liu Wu was as angry as a cat with its fur standing on end. She disappeared in front of Liu Qingcao in a flash. The next moment, she had already caught Liu An in her hands.

"Liu Xiao, take Liu Er and Liu San to pack up, and in two quarters of an hour, take these villagers to Changxin Prefecture. The rest of you, follow me to Feichi Prefecture."

Liu Qingcao didn't look at Liu An, but turned around and gave instructions to Liu Xiao and others.

Outside the house, Liu Qingcao stood in front of Yuan Bachi and his group. After thinking it over again and again, he decided to keep all of them in the village.

As for whether to stay in Xiaojia Village or Liujia Village, Liu Qingcao did not plan to make any arrangements. After all, these people had identity passes and they were all good citizens. He just didn't know whether the government would make any arrangements for them.

The villagers of the two villages are now either dead or sent to the authorities. There are only more than a hundred people in such a large area.

Not long ago, we learned from the information obtained by Liu Xiao and his team that this place was not Xiaojia Village, but Liujia Village.

It turned out that the villagers of Xiaojia Village had long been destroyed, and the village properties had been occupied by Liujia Village.

Most of what Liu Er said was false, and he almost deceived them. It was true that everyone in the village was rotten-hearted.

Liu Qingcao raised her eyelids, and glanced at them with her clear, dark eyes, her tone calm.

“Yuan Bachi, you take the rest of the people and stay here. There are about 20 dan of grain in the village. I will also leave you some potatoes. These are enough for you to eat for nearly two months. Although life will be a little hard, at least you can survive.

If you want to leave after the snowstorm, just take whatever you can use with you. If you want to stay, then live here and I will come to see you when I pass by."

Yuan Bachi was extremely grateful. His children were no longer around, and his parents had passed away. Now only he and his wife were left, so naturally he had no other thoughts.

"Thank you for saving my life, young lady. I have no way of repaying you for your kindness. If you need anything in the future, I, Yuan Ba ​​Chi, will never refuse."

"Live well, and when these hard days are over, your children will come to find you again." Liu Qingcao knew that they were feeling bad, so he had to say this to give them hope to survive.

Yuan Ba ​​Chi's wife Wang Yue'e raised her hands to cover her face and sobbed softly. At this moment, she heard Liu Qingcao's words, her eyes brightened, and she suddenly understood, "Thank you, Miss Xie, we must live well."

Liu Qingcao smiled slightly, nodded, turned and left.

As she said, when she left, Liu Si left a cart of potatoes in the village.

Yuan Bachi watched Liu Qingcao leave and the carriage gradually went away. The snowflakes in the sky were scattered and seemed a little smaller than yesterday. He suddenly felt full of hope.
