C91 (1/2)

As the saying goes, a man has gold under his knees. He kneels to the heavens, to the earth, to his parents and to the king.

As he kneeled down, the anger in my heart dissipated quite a bit, so I waved my hand and said, ”Forget it, just get up. I'm not dead yet.”

Hearing my words, Miao De stood up once again, as though he was relieved of a heavy burden. However, there was still a slightly ashamed expression on his face. Seeing him like this, the anger in my heart finally completely dissipated.

Afterwards, he said a few more words of apology before calling for someone to tie the Gu seedlings up.

In the face of solid evidence, the Gu Miao did not deny it and admitted everything. However, he did not mention a single word about the whereabouts of those children. No matter how much Miao De and the rest threatened him, the Gu Miao gritted his teeth, refusing to reveal a single word.

That's their business, and I have no intention of interfering. After all, the good guys from before almost lost their lives. I don't want to have to do it again.

”Um, when you guys came over, didn't you see the fire in your village?” Why does it seem like you guys aren't in a hurry when I see you? ”

When they were about to send that Gu Miao back to the stronghold, I remembered that there was such a thing.

However, after I said this, Miao De had a baffled expression as he said, ”You're still so far away. Can you see that our village is on fire?”

That's right! At such a distance, even if their village was on fire, we wouldn't be able to see it! However, what was that patch of fiery red that Zhang Zikong and I saw earlier?

Zhang Zikong said that Gu Miao was going to attack the villagers, and from the looks of it, Gu Miao had indeed attacked, but what did that have to do with the fire? By the time that flame appeared, Miao De and the Gu Miao should have already arrived near us!

Although I had some doubts, I still followed them back to the village at a leisurely pace. With them, Bighead was very well taken care of and carried on a stretcher.

However, when we returned to their village after almost three hours, we found that their village had already been reduced to ruins! Many old people and women were crying on the ruins left behind by the great fire!

The heck, could it be that the red light in the sky I saw earlier is really because of the fire here? I can see the fire from thirty kilometers away? Could this be what the old monk meant when he said 'destroy the village'?

Seeing this scene, Miao De immediately led his men to count the number of people and treat the injured. I, on the other hand, swiftly ran in the direction of the Miao Family!

Because on the way back, Miao told me that even though Hua Zi had recovered a lot and was able to move around freely, he had already locked him up in his woodshed when the Gu Miao said that the village's child's second disappearance was related to us!

My heart had been hanging in my throat all along as I rummaged through the ruins of the Mulder house, but fortunately, when I turned the ruins over, I didn't find the body of a charred man.

Could it be that Zhang Zikong had rushed back to save Huajie? But with such a long distance between them, would he be able to catch up? If he really did return, then where was he now?

Just when I was wondering, Miao De brought me a more troubling question.

After counting the villagers, Miao De came over to tell me that none of them were missing, not even a single one of them was injured!

What was going on? It was illogical to set fire to all the houses in the village, but not a single person was hurt.
