Zhang Clan Village, Li Clan Village.

A century ago, their ancestors settled down at opposite shores of this river, and these two villages became neighbors. All those years, these two villages got along pretty well, and there would even be an occasional marriage between the two villages. But most villagers weren’t that close to each other.

Right now, Ning Huanxin was looking at the young Auntie Zhang who was stopped in her tracks, while the other women carried that young woman and left.

Ning Huanxin hesitated for a moment, and then she quickly ran down.

“Ning Huanxin!”

Jiang Lixing didn’t expect Ning Huanxin to start running suddenly. He yelled after her and started running after her.

The two of them rushed ahead all the way until they reached that deserted village.

This was once the Li Clan Village.

As far as the eye could see, it was all deserted land with some dilapidated bamboo huts.

Jiang Lixing looked at the deserted piece of land before him. He seemed to still slightly feel the peaceful atmosphere that existed until a few decades ago.

A small butterfly flapping its wings could cause a destructive storm thousands of miles away. So what exactly happened decades ago that caused the overnight destruction of the entire Li Clan Village?

…

What Ning Huanxin saw differed from what Jiang Lixing saw.

The scene before Ning Huanxin was even more shocking.

Originally, Ning Huanxin chased after those people. However, when she reached the village, those figures disappeared, and all she saw was a field of fire.

The fire surrounded the entire village. Groups of people crawled out of their houses. Their faces were as pale as a sheet, and their expressions were painful.

Some people were even rolling on the floor, groaning because of pain.
