"Father-in-law, my second brother is still lying on a stretcher, and his wife is still blaming you..."
"We don't have much food left. I'm afraid we won't be able to eat it for a few more days..."
"Third brother is nowhere to be seen..."
Listening to his daughter-in-law's story, Wang Bohou's face became stiff, his upper and lower lips trembled but he did not move.
Open up.
He knew a little about what his daughter-in-law was talking about.
A month ago, they still had plenty of food, but when they tried to rescue passing refugees, they were betrayed, most of the clan's food was taken away, and their third son was lost in the conflict.
Twenty days ago, they rescued a father and son, but they accidentally provoked others and implicated them. Fortunately, the clan united and repelled the outsiders.
Ten days ago, he even rescued a beautiful widow from the same village from a group of people. As a result, his second son got a broken head and is still in a coma.
All of this was caused by his meddling. Although he meant well, they were now too busy trying to save people, not to mention that those thugs outnumbered them. Because of their actions, everyone in the clan was talking about it and feeling uneasy.
He blamed himself even more.
And now he is meddling in other people's business, so it is foreseeable that there will be one more person to mouth to feed. Even the filial eldest son Wang Xun couldn't help feeling sulky when he saw his second brother lying on a stretcher, his third brother missing, and everyone in the clan pointing fingers at his family, as all this was because of his father.
Seeing his eldest son like this, Wang Bo sighed heavily!
"Forget it! Just let an old man like me take the risk. I can't just stand by and watch someone die!"
Seeing that their father-in-law was really going to fight that group of thugs with a cane, how could the two really let him go? Li knew that their father-in-law was a kind person and had done nothing wrong.
Although they had rescued people before, they also asked everyone to hide the food. Who could have thought that the group of refugees were so cunning and had been targeting them for a long time.
And then the father and son were really unlucky, they met people who didn't get along with them. And the widow from the same village, since they were from the same village, they should support each other.
Was the father-in-law wrong? He was not wrong. It could only be said that they were unlucky and that problems always occurred. This also led to the father-in-law blaming himself and the clan members complaining. If the father-in-law had not warned of the famine in advance and stored food in advance, the clan members would have vented their dissatisfaction long ago.
Oh, forget it, let’s just save the little girl. She looks so pretty, I’m afraid she’s someone’s lost child.
When she thought about how dangerous it would be for such a young child in this world, with no one to help, Li's maternal love overflowed. She couldn't have a child, and her husband didn't blame her. If...
"I'll go inform someone right away."
Seeing his wife's signal, Wang Xun hurriedly left and informed his tribesmen.
He was just conflicted, but he still had to save people.
Those hooligans are also from their clan. Although they have been removed from the clan, their reputation cannot be harmed! Their Wang clan is also a clan with its own scholarly spirit. How can they be allowed to be ruined?
"What! Those thugs are trying to kidnap someone!"
"These cowardly fellows actually acted like the hateful human traffickers. We must cut off their legs!"
I thought my third uncle, fifth uncle and the clan leader would still refuse, but I didn't expect them to be so furious and indignant after hearing the news brought by Wang Xun.
"Clan leader, uncle, don't you think my father is meddling in other people's business..."
"Hey! What are you talking about? If it weren't for your father, how could we have come this far? What happened before was just an accident... Isn't it because we, the Wang family, have been able to come this far by being kind to others?"
"Do you really think that your clan can continue just by having a few Jinshis among your ancestors? How is that possible?"
"Yeah...your father has good intentions, and it was just an accident before. We are a big tree that attracts the wind, so it is inevitable that someone will covet so much food."
A few people explained in twos and threes, not taking it seriously at all. Then they called some strong laborers from the clan, took their own weapons, and went to deal with those thugs.
There were flashes of flames, and soon the clan leader led a dozen people, carrying their own bull whips, torches and kitchen knives, and rushed over aggressively.
"Here they come! Second brother, where are those guys? I'm going to break their legs!"
"Bah! Those hooligans are still not being honest!"
"We must give them a good beating this time!"
Everyone was talking about it, and the clan leader even asked the second son where the little girl was, but the second son was staring blankly, not knowing what was going on, and Li had a strange look on his face.
"What happened? Could it be that they took that little girl away? Weren't they stopped?"
"No... no, they didn't leave..."
Li hesitated and said...
"What's going on? You look like that. Where's that girl?"
The clan leader said loudly, and before Li could answer, a dragging sound was heard from the side, followed by a crisp voice.
"Girl, are you referring to me?"
Patriarch Wang was stunned and looked in the direction of the voice.
Under the flickering firelight, a little girl of about eleven or twelve was looking at him. She had fair skin, outstanding temperament, a rosy and shiny little face, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak as she looked at him.
She had a clear voice and her little head was slightly tilted. If you ignored the body in her hand that looked like a dead dog, the girl in front of him was probably the cutest little girl he had ever seen.
"you……"
Patriarch Wang stumbled and stammered as he watched the gangster being dragged by the little girl in front of him by his hair like a dead dog.
Keqing suddenly realized and let go.
With a bang, two bruised heads fell to the ground.
His heart skipped a beat.
"Did the old man just break this guy's legs?
? Don’t worry, Keqing has already helped you break their legs.”
Keqing blinked.
"Thank...thank you?"
"You are welcome"
"..."
Chapter 570: Gangster (1 more)
A speechless atmosphere spread as Keqing and the head of the Wang family looked at each other.
Patriarch Wang stepped forward, looked at the thugs lying like corpses at his feet, and cautiously extended his hand.
Hot air was exhaled, and there was still breath. The person was still alive, and he turned up and down. The unconscious head was humming something, as if he was possessed by a nightmare. The pig-like head looked very funny. He observed carefully and found that his face was bruised and swollen, and his legs were indeed broken. Looking at the force, he never expected that it was done by a little kid.
Didn't they tell them to save the little girl? How come... it ended like this?
Patriarch Wang looked at his second brother in confusion, and unexpectedly, his second uncle Wang Bohou also looked confused.
He had been anxiously waiting for his son to call the tribesmen to stop these thugs from abusing the girl, but who would have thought that before the tribesmen arrived, he saw the thugs approaching the little girl and saying something. A shadow flashed by, and then those strong thugs suddenly flew backwards.
Then the girl stood up, as if nothing had happened, walked to the thugs rolling on the ground, and kicked them in the knees one by one, so cleanly and neatly.
The crackling sound of broken bones and the wails of pain were clearly audible even from such a distance. The sun had already set and the night was gloomy. Although it was not pitch dark, it was not clear either.
The screams sounded like those of a pig being slaughtered, suddenly ringing out in the silent night. Looking at the blurry figure, it made people shiver for no reason. It was so scary.
"Father-in-law... am I dazzled?"
Li murmured, seeming a little unbelievable, and Wang Bohou also twitched his mouth.
"If you are not dazzled, then I should be dazzled too."
The two men looked at the scene in confusion, and then saw the little kid picking up one thing in each hand like bacon, then glanced at them lightly, scaring them, and then walked towards them slowly.
She looked like a monster coming out of the darkness, with the howling cold wind, the dim night, and the screams. The two men were shocked and thought that this girl could not be a monster from the mountains. They were so scared that their legs became stiff!
So when Patriarch Wang rushed over, he saw the two men in a dazed state, actually because their legs were stiff with fear. He didn't even notice that Li was tightly holding the second brother's hand, and the second brother was leaning on a crutch and trying hard to not retreat.
After Patriarch Wang came over, the two of them felt more confident. They thought that with so many people here and so lively, the monster shouldn't be a big deal. But when they opened their mouths, it seemed...isn't this girl a monster?
This caused some awkwardness between the two of them.
However, the people brought by Patriarch Wang were whispering to each other, showing some disbelief.
"Little kid, did you really take care of these hooligans?"
"It's not a good thing to lie to someone. Tsk, could it be that your guards are here to find you?"
The old men and women came forward and looked around curiously. They sized up Keqing while looking at the thugs, touching them all over and soon took out some good stuff.
Patriarch Wang raised his eyebrows slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say. But before he could say anything, the tribesmen suddenly shouted.
"Ah, isn't this my handkerchief? How did it get into this jerk's hands?"
"This, this is my wild vegetable dumpling. There's a bite taken out of it. I can't bear to eat it!"
"Fuck, this isn't my daughter's belly..."
Before she could finish her words, the auntie immediately tightened the thing in her arms. Although everyone didn't hear the whole thing, they could tell what it was.
The others who had not taken action were inspired and rushed forward to search as well. Sure enough, they found a lot of their lost things.
He couldn't help but kick the unconscious thugs hard, slapped them hard a few times, and started cursing.
"Damn you, thief! I told you that my house is missing some things every now and then, and it turns out this guy is the one who did it!"
"Ugh! You even stole my child's diapers. Do you have any humanity?"
"These hooligans are so dishonest. If it weren't for this, I really wouldn't know her. They are so dirty!"
The Wang family members were furious. After the natural disaster, they believed that there is strength in numbers and be kind to others. Therefore, the previous expulsion of a few people from the family was left unresolved and they were let go for the time being. Although a few thugs were not honest, they could not abandon them when fleeing from the famine; after all, they were family members.
I thought these guys had been well behaved along the way, but I didn't expect they were still very thieves and stole a lot of things from them.
This was only a part of it. They had no idea whether they had stolen a lot more before and used them up, but they were extremely angry!
He didn't care whether they were dead or alive or had broken legs, he immediately started punching and kicking them.
Keqing and Patriarch Wang just watched as the group of people beat up the thugs. The thugs were pitifully awakened by the pain before they even woke up. Before they could react, they were beaten again and passed out again.
Especially the auntie holding the bellyband, she was very strong and she kicked at the key parts again and again.
Keqing can also
There was a loud cracking sound, followed by an even louder sound of bones breaking, which startled those who were still beating each other. It turned out that they had unknowingly inflicted further injuries on these thugs, and even fractured their hands.
Everyone looked at each other and then laughed.
"Did you see anything?"
"I didn't see anything!"
"Yeah, who can be blamed for this hooligans falling down and getting into this situation after his hands and feet were covered with adhesive?"
"Hey, people still have to be honest!"
Patriarch Wang just watched the Wang family members laughing as he lied with his eyes open. Then he kicked them in dissatisfaction, then left the corpses and walked over to surround them.
"Little kid, your guards are pretty impressive. Where are your family members?"
"I looked at the bruised and swollen hands, which were much bigger than ours..."
"Poor kid, I heard you got lost. Did your parents come looking for you?"
Everyone was very enthusiastic, as if they were not the ones who were punching and kicking just now. Who wouldn't feel sorry for such a cute little baby, with a handsome alchemy, a pink oval face, and a pair of big eyes like purple gemstones?
Patriarch Wang also knew that this was because everyone was now displaced, and both children and adults were emaciated, hungry one day and full the next. They had to live in fear and be on guard against others stealing their food, fighting, or their relatives being targeted by those cannibals.
The environment, appearance, lack of food and water have made everyone numb and discouraged.
Now seeing such a good-looking little girl in a group of skinny people is like opening a floodgate and injecting fresh water into the stagnant water. It is rare to attract attention, and people can't help but have some expectations. Carrying the beauty of life.
Secondly, such a cute little baby who is well fed and well dressed must have an extraordinary origin. Although she is lost now, she may be called back by her family. If they help her, they may be able to get some food or something as a thank you, and they can also hold on for a while longer.
With this thought in mind, everyone surrounded Keqing enthusiastically. Keqing was not an ordinary child, so she naturally knew why they were so enthusiastic.
I remembered that the people I heard just now were called by the old man, all to help me. Although I didn't need help, there were still such kind hearts in this natural disaster. They must know right from wrong and know how to separate. Such a clan has firm ideas and good morals. It would be a pity if they were to disappear like this.
It seems that they are a poor clan that farms and studies, and they know etiquette and may be able to help educate the refugees.
Thinking of this, Keqing must have...
Chapter 571: Wang Clan (Part 2)
"I'm from Hengshan County. I don't have any parents. I didn't get lost. I came here on my own initiative."
Keqing shook her head and answered the question simply.
"Hey, don't lie to me, little girl. I know where Hengshan County is. It's so far away from here. How did you leave by yourself?"
"Yeah, you didn't run away from home... and there's no one to take care of you."
