Chapter 54 Fortunately

The Zhou and Lin families were resting nearby. When they saw their families talking together, and when they saw Qin Sanlang suddenly leaving, Zhou Lao and Lin felt that something must have happened.

The two old men hesitated for a while, then got up and came to the resting place of Qin and Gu's family. Standing two meters away, they asked Mr. Qin: "Old brothers, what are you talking about? It's dark and it's not peaceful outside. You guys Why is that little brother still running outside?"

Mr. Qin knew that they were here to inquire about information. He looked at the third grandfather and asked in a questioning tone: "Brother Gu, do you think?"

Because Mr. Qin was familiar with the route to the south, his status among their group gradually became more and more important. However, Mr. Qin respected the third grandfather very much and knew that the three of them were from outside. Grandpa discussed it, and if Third Grandpa disagreed, Mr. Qin would not make his own decisions most of the time.

The Third Grandpa knew the worries of the Lin and Zhou families, so he nodded and said, "There is nothing to hide about this matter. It doesn't hurt to tell them."

Mr. Qin told them that Wu Da and his group were also nearby.

 When Zhou Laolin and Lao Lin heard this, he immediately panicked.

Zhou Laodao said: "Why are they here too? What should we do? That group of people is very difficult to deal with. They always find some excuses to deceive people. Along the way, many people have been deceived by them and lost their money."

That group of people is very greedy. Every time they deceive people, they will deprive the victims of their money and food, and they don't care about the lives or lives of the victims.

“What do you mean by listening to old brother, do you know them?” asked Mr. Qin.

Zhou Lao Lin hurriedly waved his hands and denied repeatedly: "I don't know them, I don't know them. I fled from Xiyu Mansion all the way. I just know them by face."

 Wu Da's group had a dispute with Mr. Qin and his party. They were afraid that Mr. Qin would misunderstand, so they hurriedly explained.

Seeing how nervous they were, Mr. Qin smiled and said, "You two old brothers don't have to be like this. We won't misunderstand anything."

He then told them: "Don't worry too much, that group of people are just market bastards. They are small in number and cannot cause any trouble."

The real villains are Master Cao, Peng Changyong and others. Mr. Qin didn't pay attention to those people at all. He asked Sanlang to find those people and keep an eye on them. He was afraid that those people would come to do harm and make a few people suffer. The women and girls in the family suffer.

Zhou Lao and Lin were still very worried. Instead of leaving, they waited here, hoping to wait for Qin Sanlang to come back and hear the news.

Qin Sanlang went out for a long time and came back after a full two hours.

Knowing that everyone was anxious, he said as soon as he came back: "That group of people was resting in a neem forest near the mountain pass. They had sixteen adults, three women, and two children. They had hoes and firewood in their hands that could hurt people. Knives, sharpened sticks.”

"Wu Da is not here. He must have been thrown into the ruined temple by them. Their current boss is the man with a disfigured face. I don't know his name. They call him Fourth Brother Hu. He is a thug in a gambling house."

“Gambling thugs!” The third grandma and several women were weaving straw clothes nearby. When she heard this, she exclaimed: “No wonder they have so many tricks to deceive people.”

People who work in gambling houses are the best at deceiving and abducting people. They are also very difficult to deal with and shamelessly win over others.

Qin Sanlang glanced at the third grandma and saw that girls from several families were there. He lowered his head in embarrassment, but still told another thing he heard: "That woman with a disfigured appearance is called Sister Liu. She is not a serious family." The woman and Hu Si are not a real couple, their child was picked up on the road, and they mainly use him to cooperate with them."

When the adults heard this, they all frowned. She was not a decent woman, but could she be the kiln girl in the courtyard?

“Hey, who are these people?” The third mistress was distressed to hear this, and quickly asked the Chu family and the Cui family to take the girls from several families to have a rest and not let them listen to these words.

But the third grandfather stopped them: "Wait a minute, sit down and listen."

“Old man, why are you so crazy?” The third grandma threw the straw rope in her hand at the third grandpa. Is this something that a girl’s family can hear?

Third Grandpa said: "That group of people likes to use tricks, and we have a lot of children here. Let them listen, and they will know what they are doing. They will know to be on guard when something happens, and they will not follow other people's rules."

If he were in Gujia Village, he would naturally not let his children hear these bad things, but now they are on the way to escape, and they have problems with that group of people, so they can't hide it from the children. They don't understand anything, and things can easily get into trouble. The third grandmother had to let the children of several families stay.

 Lao Qin asked Qin Sanlang: "What else did you hear?"

Qin Sanlang said: "That Sister Liu and Hu Si are more ruthless than Wu. They plan to use grain to deceive some pretty girls and sell them in the next city."

The family members became more and more frightened as they listened. Why are these people so bad? !

 Lao Zhou and Lao Lin turned pale with fright. He was extremely lucky to have the shamelessness to come to see Lao Qin tonight, otherwise he would not have heard such useful news.

The Zhou and Lin families also have several half-year-old girls. If they hadn’t heard the news and the girls from the two families had fallen into trouble, their lives would have been over.

 That's all Qin Sanlang heard.

After he finished speaking, several families discussed that they must stay away from that group of people. If that group of people settled in the same place as them, Qin Sanlang and Qin Erlang should take turns to keep an eye on them, lest that group of people would Take advantage of their girls.

He also told the girls from several houses: "If there are women or children coming to talk to you on the road, don't pay attention to them, don't follow them, follow your parents closely, shout loudly when you are in danger, and pick up anything you can use to fight. , run immediately when you find an opportunity."

Third Grandpa also specifically told Gu Jinli and Luo Huiniang: "Xiaoyu, Hui Yatou, you two don't go out alone to find food these days."

 These two girls like to go looking for food, and he is afraid that they will meet that group of people on the way.

 Gu Jinli and Luo Huiniang said, "Don't worry, Third Grandpa, we understand."

Gu Yumei suddenly said: "It's Xiaoyu's fault that we have enmity with that group of people. If Xiaoyu hadn't broken Wu Da's tendons and hamstrings, that group of people wouldn't have targeted us."

Gu Jinli laughed angrily when he heard this.

The third grandma was very unhappy and said with a straight face: "Sister Mei, Xiaoyu attacked Wu Da after the disfigured woman and Hu Si came to ask for medicine. You can't blame Xiaoyu for this, we have been targeted by them for a long time. On."

Of course Gu Yumei knew that this matter had nothing to do with Gu Jinli, but she didn't like Gu Jinli. She is the granddaughter of the village chief's family. When she was in Gujia Village, all the girls in the village fawned over her.

 But now, everyone only has Gu Jinli in their eyes and cannot see her goodness at all.

She felt uncomfortable and always wanted to find an opportunity to say something to Gu Jinli.

When Gu Dafu heard Gu Yumei's words, he frowned and felt a little unhappy, but he only had two children left, Gu Dexing and Gu Yumei. He couldn't bear to scold Gu Yumei, so he had to apologize for her: "Sister Sister Mei, you didn't mean it. do not be angry."

Zhou Lao and Lin Lao were a little embarrassed and couldn't stay any longer, so they hurriedly left.

After Qin Gu Luotian's family allocated the manpower for the night watch, they also began to rest. As for the matter caused by Gu Yumei, none of the family members pursued it further.

  Everyone was woken up by the cold before dawn the next day. The weather was getting colder and colder. After several families got up, they put on all their warm clothes and woven straw clothes, packed up their things, and started on their way.

Other victims remembered Gao Bantou's words and set out before dawn for fear that the officers and soldiers of Yuchang Prefecture would catch up and kill them.

On the way, Lin and Zhou's family followed Mr. Qin and others closely, for fear of falling behind and losing their shelter.

Gu Jinli squeezed Gu Jinxiu's hand tightly and looked for the disfigured woman in the crowd from time to time. He actually saw her holding the child and chatting with other victims.
