C92 (1/2)

My heart was filled with doubts. I directly asked Miao De's father my question, but his reply made me even more doubtful.

According to him, two more young men had come to the village before the fire, and after the two of them had wandered around the village a few times, they had said that they had seen many children in the mountains.

When the villagers heard this, they naturally followed the two youngsters into the mountains. Since there were no longer any strong men in the village, every single family's elder and guardian followed them into the mountains.

Not long after arriving in the mountain, the village was set on fire. Almost all the houses were set on fire at the same time! The raging flames seemed to have been possessed by a devil as they burned crazily. There was no way to save them at all!

It was only then that the two men finally explained their intention.

In fact, they didn't even see any children in the mountains. They only saw that all the houses in the village had been tampered with, so they tricked all the villagers out.

Not long after, a muddy man in white found the two of them. After conversing for a while, the man gave him a slip of paper and told him to pass it to me. Then, he and the two of them ran towards the direction of the county.

”I wonder what my good-for-nothing son is thinking. You clearly saved the children of the village, so how could you harm them?” Furthermore, if not for your two friends, our village would not have been able to escape this calamity! ”

Speaking of which, Miao De's father started crying again, while I was thinking about the person who looked exactly like Zhang Zikong. And why did you lead me into the woods?

Furthermore, Miao De's father never told him about the incident, so who saved him? Or did he escape by himself?

At this moment, Miao De finally walked towards us as if he had settled everything. His father rushed up to him and slapped him in the face without saying a word. He even dragged him in front of me and started cursing!

”You vile creature! You are really blind! How did I give birth to an ingrate like you? Kneel down to your benefactor? ”

Under my father's reprimand, Miao De obediently kneeled down towards me.

Seeing this, I hastily went forward to help him up. ”It's fine, it's all in the past. Moreover, we're fine now. Let it pass if it's all in the past.”

Seeing that I didn't have any intention of blaming him, Miao De's father didn't say anything more. Instead, Miao De passed me a piece of paper, saying that it was given to me by a girl from the village.

Could it be that he had finally gotten lucky?

Opening it to take a look, the handwriting is extremely beautiful. Indeed, it was written by a woman, but the contents made me frown.

The contents of the note were very concise. There were only five words on it: ”Please don't go back”. The signature was broad bean.

Besides the little witch, who else could come up with such a conclusion?

But why did she tell me not to go back? Could it really be like what Zhang Zi Kong said, that her brother was about to make a big move? However, what big movements of Dong Hai, what does it have to do with me? Had he not given up the insurance money?

If it were before, she would have warned me like this. I wouldn't go back even if I were beaten to death, but now that I have such a heaven defying helper like Zhang Zi Kong, how can I be afraid of him?

Therefore, I didn't even think about it and directly put the paper away.
