Chapter 68

Zhao Shangshu, who was still dreaming of dreams, never imagined that the escape route he had planned a long time ago was completely burned by Fu Yinong. He had long expected his son who suddenly descended from the sky with the rescuers. It has also turned to dust.

Getting out of the sea of ​​suffering can only be an empty dream.

Here, Fu Yinong's pot of stewed pork and cabbage vermicelli is served with the black-faced steamed buns sent by officials. Madam's people are much stronger.

After being exiled for so long, this was the first time that she had a real meal, which not only satisfied her appetite, but also filled her stomach.

Just as Fu Yinong put down the bowl and chopsticks, he heard the voices of Liu Xiong and a man from the yard.

Dou Xiao came here just in time, reckoning that the officials had already settled the dinner at this time, so it would be too late to come and talk about that matter at this time.

"Brother Dou is here so late, what's the matter?"

Liu Xiong didn't put on airs either, and his attitude was very friendly.

Dou Xiao had a worried face. He had originally thought that there were so many of these people in the village. With them in the village, they might not dare to come, but he forgot that these people were all exiled criminals, and they used to be high-ranking officials. , let alone fights, they might be so weak that they can't even lift a bucket of water.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing, feeling ridiculous for his previous thoughts.

"What's the matter? Brother Dou, what's the problem?"

Seeing Dou Xiao frowning but not speaking, Liu Xiong felt a little uncomfortable, guessing that this person has something to ask but is not easy to ask?
Dou Xiao nodded, then shook his head again, he hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Master Liu, it's like this. These days, our village is not peaceful until midnight. If there is nothing important, you must not go out."

"Not quite?"

Liu Xiong immediately thought of the matter of hanging white onyx in every house.

Dou Xiao hesitated for a while, but still spoke truthfully.

"Your Excellency must have seen it too. Every family in our village has held funerals in the past few days, and another family is currently doing funerals. Those who died were the strong laborers of the family."

Hearing this, Liu Xiong only felt extremely weird, and there might be something inside, sure enough, he only heard Dou Xiao continue to speak.

"Actually, there were more than these few families in our village. We were a hunter village, and every family lived on hunting. Since a year ago, I don't know what happened. People who went hunting in the mountains began to go and never return. "

"In the beginning, everyone thought that the beasts in the mountains were too powerful. When hunting, accidents would always happen. But the strange thing is that those who went up the mountain never came back."

"As more and more hunters died, everyone felt that this place was evil, and most of them moved away to find other livelihoods in order to save their lives."

"So there are only nine of us left in the village. We have nowhere to go, and we have gone hunting and never returned. We originally wanted to open up wasteland to grow some food, but we didn't know that if we didn't go up, the wild beasts would come down and catch people by themselves."

"In the middle of the night, there will be the cry of ferocious beasts in this village, and then the strong laborers in the family will be taken away."

"Now I am the only man in the village who has been arrested."

Speaking of this, Dou Xiao had a look of helplessness, this kind of situation where he could only wait to die was really too bad.

After listening, Liu Xiong frowned deeply, and asked in puzzlement.

"Since it is a beast that eats people, why does it only eat strong labor? Could it be that this beast is still picky?"

"This"

Dou Xiao didn't understand either, he didn't think deeply about it before.

Liu Xiong felt that something was wrong, there was no beast that could eat people like this, only eating men and not women.

"In short, Mr. Liu, no matter what you hear tonight, don't go out, close the doors and windows tightly, as long as you persist overnight, you will be safe at dawn."

After giving instructions, Dou Xiao saw that it was getting late, so he turned around and left in a hurry.

Liu Xiong stood in the yard, frowned and looked at the big mountain behind the house, pondering Dou Xiao's words over and over again in his mind, full of puzzlement.

The conversation between the two fell into Fu Yinong's ears word by word. She only took a deep look at the small farmyard and didn't say a word.

Although Liu Xiong here feels that this matter is not as simple as Dou Xiao said, but he doesn't want to cause complications, so he warns everyone that they are not allowed to go out at night, let alone open the door.

The exiles all looked baffled, but thinking of how viciously the officials whipped the man during the day, they suddenly behaved like quails and dared not ask or say more.

The night was getting darker and heavier, and the goose feather snow was still falling non-stop. After a tiring day, most people gradually fell asleep, but You Shi couldn't sleep at all because of tossing and turning. She was really worried that she didn't know where she went Xiao Rongser.

Thinking that although the youngest daughter is arrogant, but timid, she still doesn't know how to be tortured at the moment, thinking about it, Youshi felt that she heard the little daughter's crying of fear, she suddenly turned over and sat up.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Jinniang slept very lightly, and Youshi's big movements woke her up at once, and she quickly sat up too. In the dark, Xiao Jinniang couldn't see Youshi's face, so she could only hold her arm, asked with a worried face.

Youshi sighed lowly, followed by red eye circles.

"Jin Niang, I'm really worried about Sese, I don't know how she is doing now."

When Xiao Jinniang heard it, she fell silent, and she didn't know how to answer this question. Although she didn't know what the note on the dart said, she instinctively felt that it was not a good thing.

However, even if they knew what was the use, they couldn't help at all, and it would be pretty good to be able to take care of themselves so as not to hold back.

Thinking in this way, Xiao Jinniang persuaded in a low voice.

"Mother, stop thinking about it, my little sister will be fine. They arrested my little sister for no reason. They must have a plan. Rong Jin knows this matter well, so we just don't want to make more trouble."

After all, she is a mother. Although Youshi understands this truth in her heart, she still can't stop worrying.

Xiao Jinniang persuaded her a few words, and was about to drag Youshi to sleep, but she didn't want to hear a faint sobbing sound suddenly. Xiao Jinniang turned her head and looked around, but the room was too dark to see. Clear who is crying.

But You Shi stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Jinniang's sleeve, and whispered in front of her.

"It seems to be crying from outside the door."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinniang was taken aback for a moment, it was very cold in the middle of the night, who would go outside to cry without sleeping?Besides, Mr. Liu was repeatedly ordered not to go out before.
