C14 Direct Confrontation
"I know that, but the same thing, We were chased out by the Imperial Court. In those years, the Imperial Court was unable to do anything to these criminals. This means that even if we stay here, we will not be easily attacked by the Imperial Court. " Lin Qingqian's tone was calm, as if she was only talking about the matter of firewood, rice, oil and salt. From the start, she had already planned out before she dared to take this risk.
However, Madame Sun's expression immediately became unhappy, causing her already somewhat bitter and mean expression to become even more distorted. She coldly snorted and turned around to leave.
Lin Qingqian looked at Madame Sun's back as she left and shook her head somewhat helplessly. She then continued to busy herself with other things.
The next morning, Lin Qingqian woke up with the smell of rotting corpses.
The smell of blood and rotting stench made her feel like vomiting. She forced herself to push away the thing that was pressing on her body. She was somewhat at a loss. She looked at her hands that were stained with blood and a ruthless expression flashed across her face. Even so, Even so, someone was still attacking her?
Last night, someone said that the head of the family had something to do with her and led her to a remote place. He stabbed her in the abdomen with a knife and dragged her to the top of the mountain to dispose of her corpse.
"Damn it, who is trying to harm me?" Lin Qingqian got up neatly and looked at the surrounding corpses. When she saw this, she was shocked. In her previous life, she had done a lot of field inspections and had seen many miserable situations but this was the first time she had seen the current situation.
The bodies were everywhere and their heads were cut off. The blood on their necks had solidified and there were dead spots on their bodies.
Lin Qingqian forced herself to calm down and did a simple check. The dead were all men.
Then why was it alone? She was the only woman?
Lin Qingqian could not figure it out for the time being. She threw away the bloodstained smock and went to the river to wash away the blood on her face and hands. The knife wound on her abdomen had recovered a little. It was no longer bleeding but it still hurt.
Why was it that the other men had their heads chopped off and only her abdomen was injured?
Lin Qingqian returned to the stockade with a belly full of doubts. Along the way, there were villagers who woke up early to rush to the market or went up the mountain to hunt. They saw her and could not avoid her. She did not have the heart to care about those people. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Madame Sun sunning the blanket in the courtyard while the third head stood by the side as if he was waiting for something.
"Mother..." Lin Qingqian tentatively called out. Although Madame Sun's attitude towards her changed yesterday, the matter last night was not excluded from Madame Sun sending someone. Moreover, there was also Third Master...
"You still know to come back? Which wild man did you go with? Do you want to be killed outside?" Madame Sun's triangular eyes were full of vigor. They were full of shrewdness and fierceness. The words that came out of her mouth did not show any mercy.
Zhuh Xueying stood where she was and did not say anything.
"I did not..." Lin Qingqian tried to explain.
In the end, she was still a twenty-first century person. She had lived in the city since she was young. Even if she had entered society for a few years, she had to be reasonable when encountering problems.
But she did not expect Madame Sun to be a completely unreasonable person.
She threw the blanket in her hands onto the hemp rope and walked forward a few steps. She grabbed Lin Qingqian's ear and threw her out of the courtyard. Without even giving Lin Qingqian time to react, she slapped Lin Qingqian's face. Lin Qingqian only felt half of her face was numb and her ears were buzzing.
"You are a money-losing person. You are shameless to give face to others!" Madame Sun immediately kicked over and just happened to kick the wound on Lin Qingqian's abdomen. The wound that had not completely healed was torn again and fresh blood poured out.
"Madam, this old servant saw that there seems to be injuries on Miss's body. No matter what, she is still our family's Miss..." Mammy Wang spoke to stop her, "What's more, the third head is still here..."
Hearing these words, Madame Sun's face turned even darker. After all, there is a good saying that household ugliness cannot be spread.
"Oh! Isn't this Miss Lin? I saw her go to the back of the mountain with a man last night. Why is she covered in blood? Could it be that Miss Lin was..." The villagers who passed by heard the commotion inside and looked over.
Originally, the few of them who came to the stockade were enough to attract attention. When he said this, it was as if he had convicted Lin Qingqian!
Lin Qingqian struggled to open her eyes and looked at the people who were talking.
They said the harshest words but they were in high spirits. Spittle could splash onto Lin Qingqian's face.
Lin Qingqian suddenly felt a sharp pain in her body.
Madame Sun went to get a broom and hit Lin Qingqian with all her strength.
That broom was made of bamboo. The tightly tied bamboo strips hit Lin Qingqian's body and made her cry in pain.
Almost in an instant, Lin Qingqian suddenly reached out and grabbed the broom. Immediately, she used all her strength to pull it towards herself. After that, Madame Sun fell over. Lin Qingqian immediately stood up and pulled out the broom. She threw it on the ground and turned around to enter the courtyard.
"To think that Mammy Wang said that you have regained your consciousness! It was better to be silly and let the old woman worry less. If you insist on coming to this bandit's den, you still have to go meet a wild man in the middle of the night! "Now you dare to attack me!" Madame Sun sat on the ground and did not get up. She was crying but her eyes could not squeeze out tears.
Lin Qingqian entered the yard and saw Zhuh Xueying had long disappeared.
When she first came in, she saw the big guillotine in the yard. Usually it was used to weed and now Lin Qingqian could use it. She had just been beaten by Madame Sun and her whole body was in pain. Her mind was almost blank but she insisted and walked out with the big guillotine in hand.
She carried the guillotine out of the courtyard and saw Madame Sun still sitting on the ground and cursing miserably. There were more and more villagers surrounding her. Lin Qingqian was irritated. Looking at the expressions on the villagers' faces, she felt even more troubled.
She suddenly pulled Madame Sun who was lying on the ground and then clenched her teeth and dragged her back to the courtyard.
"Help! Someone is going to kill!!" Madame Sun cried out in fear. Although she had always disliked her own daughter, Lin Qingqian had never raised her knife at her before.
The villagers also wanted to help.
But Lin Qingqian only turned her head and glanced back. Her eyes were cold and fierce. Just one look made many people want to retreat. "This is our family's matter. No one else can interfere."
"Now, everyone is in the same village. As a daughter, you are holding a knife to your mother. How can we not care?" These words came out from the crowd, and it was unknown who said it.
Lin Qingqian sneered and kicked Madame Sun into the yard. Then, she fiercely closed the door.
"You, you, what do you want?" Madame Sun said in panic.
Lin Qingqian held the guillotine in her hand. Her eyes were cold and she had a smile on her lips. She looked like an Asura. Actually, she was already an arrow at the end of its flight. She just forced herself to take a breath. She said, "Whoever tries to harm me, I'll chop them off!"
As she spoke, Lin Qingqian held the knife and got closer to Madame Sun.
"Did you find someone to trick me out and want to stab me to death? Seeing that I didn't die today, you deliberately ruined my reputation?! " Lin Qingqian asked sternly. Now that things had come to this, she also understood that she did not have any reputation in Madame Sun's eyes at all.
She just wanted to see who was more ruthless than who.
