With a bang, the newly bought crystal vase in Audrey's mother's hand hit the ground. She was stunned. "God! What are you talking about? Why did they kill our family?"
The gentleman seemed to have realized the family's reaction a long time ago. He didn't even blink his eyes at any surprise. "There is no reason. Your family got a huge sum of 80,000 francs for nothing. This is the reason. They Wanting to share the money, this is the motive..."
"What is France like now? It's anarchy right now. All the police and the army have no direct government. They don't know whose orders they should obey..."
"Of course they have superiors, but their superiors don't know where their superiors are. They are looking for them layer by layer. They don't have anyone who can be responsible..."
"Everyone is keeping the rules. No one dares to make trouble at this time. As long as there is no large-scale riot, they will not care about these criminal cases!"
"If I were to take action, now would be the best time... let alone this village... God, this place doesn't even exist on the map. I can't even remember its name..."
"No one will care if your family of three disappears..."
"Child, do you know how much 80,000 francs can buy? Can it change the fate of many families? This is a huge sum of money that you cannot protect!"
"I have a gun!" Audrey's father's facial features were horribly distorted. He picked up the shotgun in his hand and said fiercely.
"Haha... Tuvinant rifle? The Minie rifle that was the standard issue for French chasseurs back then..." The old man knew he was an expert at first glance. He recognized this niche weapon that was briefly equipped with the army at a glance.
"The design of this shotgun is not perfect. Only more than 40,000 were produced in history... There is a steel core column in the barrel, which can easily break under the impact of multiple explosions..."
"You can get something like this from the antique market... Haha... collecting is still useful, but forget it in actual combat..."
"While you were reloading, the knife would have cut your throat long ago!"
Audrey's father looked pale. He had not received any military training at all. Even loading bullets was taught by the businessman who sold him the rifle.
"God, what can I do..." Audrey's mother burst into tears.
At this time, Audrey calmed down the scene and said, "Sir, why should I believe you? What is your identity..."
The bearded old man squatted down with a smile and looked up at Audrey, "I just said that I am British... This is enough, and I can also find out such secretive things. You said that besides me, you also Who can you trust?"
"Besides, you have no choice. Whether you like it or not, I will take you away today..."
This makes it very clear. There are two hundred British gentlemen gathered outside the room in the name of hunting. Then these two hundred people may soon become two hundred sturdy rangers.
Audrey's family began to pack their bags nervously. Who can reason with someone with a gun? The Chinese came with guns, and Audrey's family couldn't resist. The British also came, and they couldn't resist either.
These gentlemen had followers who jumped off their horses and started to help. The actions of these men alerted the villagers in the village, and they realized that Audrey and her family were about to escape.
The villagers who were obsessed with money began to surround them and asked, "What are you going to do? Where are Audrey and his family going?"
"Go away! Untouchables have no right to ask questions, go away..."
"Audrey's family is from our village, you can't take them away..." The angry boy started to curse.
Bang... A crisp gunshot silenced all the villagers who wanted to cause trouble. The old man with the white beard put down the shotgun in his hand, looked at the villagers who were blinded by greed, and said with great disdain, "If you don't want to die, just stay away... …”
Crash... The gentlemen on horseback suddenly changed their colors, took off their shotguns one by one with murderous intent, and began to surround them.
At this time, the village chief and his group of old people calmed down. There were so many rifles, which they couldn't handle. "Who are you? Are you British? What are you doing in France?"
No one was willing to answer him at all, only the gunfire continued to press him!
"We retreat...we don't care...you can do whatever you want, we'll let them go..." The villagers backed down at the critical moment, and they watched helplessly as Audrey's family put all their valuables on the carriage.
"That's our 80,000 francs! Is it just going to fly away like this?"
"We will definitely retaliate. We will report to the local magistrate later and say that the British crossed the sea and invaded us..."
The group of people cursed fiercely in their hearts, but no one dared to say anything.
Audrey was holding her most cherished doll, with the crystal necklace around her neck and the two sapphire cuffs in her pocket.
When she walked out of the house, she saw that everything in front of her was so unfamiliar. The elders and friends she had known since childhood had become enemies, and their eyes were full of hatred.
Everything around her was so unrealistic. Looking back at her little home, she knew that she might never be able to come back from now on. This place would eventually become a dusty place in his memory.
"Let's go, kid... The yacht is waiting at sea. Taking advantage of the fact that there is no strong wind in the Bay of Biscay these two days, we can leave as soon as possible... Believe me, London is a very prosperous city, and you will fall in love with it!"
Audrey's family was taken away with all their property, leaving only the villagers stamping their feet and beating their chests and yelling.
The village was actually only more than two thousand meters away from the coastline. The cavalry quickly arrived on the beach, where there were more than 40 small boats waiting for them.
In the deep sea in the distance, a very beautiful sailing ship is moored quietly. Its white sails are like white clouds in the sky. This is the yacht the old man said.
What a rich man he is, it's incredible that he can privately own such a big boat.
Audrey's family left France in tears. When they boarded the boat, her mother cried bitterly as she looked at the home where she had lived all her life, and her father's eyes were also red and swollen.
Only Audrey, who didn't know whether it was numbness or something else, had no expression on her face at all. In her heart, she was really looking forward to the new world outside.
London! That is a legendary place more prosperous than Paris, where am I going!
When Audrey and her family boarded the deck of the yacht, their family of three did not know that a massacre was taking place in their hometown.
