Chapter 375 Ask Hades

After Xiao Huaqian yelled like this, the villagers were really moved.

However, some villagers said: "Where does the Guo family have so much money to help us?"

"At the end of the day, Hua Qian just wants to watch us starve to death..."

"A heartless family, the family is so rich and still refuses to help us, woo woo..."

Hearing the villagers crying for their fathers and mothers, all kinds of abuse and cursing, Xiao Huaqian stomped angrily, and spat: "Bah! A bunch of shameless slobs, they wanted to harm me before, but now they want me to help you. beauty!"

Hearing Xiao Huaqian scolding people so much like Guo Shi, the corners of Yue Xia's mouth twitched again, and said: "Since the old Taoist took money from others to harm others, wouldn't it be better to ask him to hand over the money!"

When the village head heard it, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "That's right!"

The old Taoist priest who was beaten to death by the villagers suddenly regained his spirits when he heard that someone was trying to trick him with money: "Silver... silver, I have already spent... I have spent it all."

The village chief didn't believe his words when he heard this, and said: "Hand over the money, and we won't send you to the official."

The old Taoist priest curled up on the ground thought for a while, and felt that his life would be over if he was sent to the prison, and no matter how much money he had, he would not be able to spend it.

"Okay, I'll give you the silver." The old Taoist had already planned to take out 300 taels at most, and the remaining 700 taels would be enough for him to spend the rest of his life.

The village chief was not easy to fool, he said: "We can only release you when we get the money, where is the money?"

"The silver is not with me. Before I came to Qingshui Village, I hid it by the side of the road. If you want it, send a few people with me to get it." The old Taoist rolled his eyes, thinking that he would go find the silver later. At that time, he took the opportunity to escape.

The village head nodded, and wanted to choose a few people with good character in the village to go with him, so that he would not be greedy against his conscience after getting the money.

At this moment, Xiao Huaqian stood up and said, "Grandpa Six, it happens that my little brother and I are fine, so let's go together."

Seeing Xiao Huaqian's expression of meeting something interesting, the village head twitched his eyebrows: "Then, counting you and Yue Xia, will anyone else follow?"

With Hua Qian and Yue Xia following, the village chief no longer worried about money being corrupted.

Seeing this, other villagers expressed their intention to follow.

"In that case, I'll pick three more people." Afterwards, the village chief picked three men from among them, all of whom were recognized by the village as being kind and magnanimous.

The old Taoist looked at Hua Qian, a girl, and Yue Xia, a little boy, and laughed secretly in his heart, feeling that his hope of escape was greater.

"Grandpa Six, since we have chosen someone, let's go." After Xiao Huaqian finished speaking, she dragged Yue Xia's sleeves and walked forward, and the remaining three villagers followed behind, dragging the old Taoist priest.

When leaving the village entrance, I ran into Li Yan and Xing'er head-on, they were chatting and laughing, and they seemed to be in love with each other.

Xiao Huaqian pouted, tugged Yue Xia's sleeve lightly, and asked: "Little brother, if I'm still alive, would brother Li Yan like me or that shrew Xing'er?"

Fortunately, there was a distance between the two of them and the four people behind them, and those without internal strength could not hear what they were saying clearly.

Yue Xia frowned lightly, looked in the direction of Li Yan and Xing'er, pursed her lips and said, "That kid is not suitable for you."

The truth is always the saddest.

When Xiao Huaqian heard this, her eyes turned red instantly, as if she was about to cry.

Hua Qian, who became a bystander, sighed with her hands on her forehead, and said in her heart: Young Master, you can't even say comforting words or lies, I'm really fed up with you.

However, Xiao Huaqian's recovery ability is very strong, she was sad and said: "I don't care if Xing'er likes it!"

Not long after walking out of the village, the old Taoist stopped in a place with lush weeds and few people: "I buried the silver in the weeds, you go dig it."

After hearing this, the three villagers walked into the weeds together and began to look for the place where the soil had been moved.

Seeing that the three of them were cheated like this, the old Taoist was very proud. Seeing that Xiao Huaqian and Yue Xia were standing a little far away, with their backs to him, he ran away.

However, before he could run far, he was hit by Yue Xia's calf with a stone, and he staggered and fell to the ground.

"Ouch……"

Hearing the old Taoist's screams, the three villagers rushed out and saw him lying not far away, already guessing in their hearts that they were being tricked.

Ever since, in the following journey, the old Taoist was often made things difficult by these three villagers.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, the old Taoist said reluctantly, "That big tree in front is where I hide my money."

This time, the three villagers did not act immediately, but pushed the old Taoist forward, forcing him to point out the location.

In desperation, the old Taoist had no choice but to say: "After the stone on the left is removed, you can dig up the silver."

The three villagers did not all go out this time, but left one person guarding the old Taoist priest.

After a while, as the old Taoist said, they dug up silver, a total of 300 taels.

The villagers who got the money said happily: "Our rations for the second half of the year are finally settled."

"That's right, now I'm not afraid that the children will starve."

Seeing the happy faces of the three villagers, Xiao Huaqian muttered, "300 taels will buy my life...it's really cheap."

The corner of Yue Xia's mouth twitched again, and he thought to himself: The 300 taels has nothing to do with you, they bought old Taoist priests to deal with the crazy girl.

With your childish appearance, will others take you seriously?

Fortunately, Yue Xia didn't say this, otherwise Xiao Huaqian would be in a hurry with him again.

On the way back, the old Taoist tried to escape many times, but was beaten up by three villagers, and he looked even more miserable.

Seeing that Qingshui Village was not far away, Yue Xia suddenly stopped in her tracks: "Three uncles, you take the old Taoist back to the village first, and I will accompany Qian'er to pick some wild flowers along the way."

The three villagers nodded with a smile, patted Yue Xia on the shoulder, and dragged the old Taoist away.

There are indeed many beautiful small wild flowers growing on both sides of the country road, Xiao Huaqian smiled and was about to pick them, but Yue Xia dragged them to her side.

"Come out!" After Yue Xia finished speaking, more than a dozen dead soldiers hidden on both sides of the path emerged.

Xiao Huaqian was stunned by this scene, she grabbed Yue Xia's arm nervously, and said tremblingly: "Little brother... have we met someone blocking the road?"

Before Yue Xia could speak, the leader of the dead men snorted coldly: "We are here to kill you!"

Xiao Huaqian looked at the man who spoke in surprise, and asked in puzzlement, "Why did you kill me?"

"Go to the underworld to ask Hades this question!" After the leader of the dead men finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the dead men surrounding Yue Xia and Xiao Huaqian immediately drew their weapons and killed them.
