Following the first signal flare, another signal flare was launched into the air less than a moment later.
The sharp chirping sound spread for dozens of miles, and red fireworks exploded in the night sky.
Many of the sleeping villagers in Tubei Village heard a piercing sound in a daze, turned over and continued to sleep again.
It was freezing cold, and no one wanted to leave the warm bed.
Furthermore, the tranquility and safety of Tubei Village have gradually become ingrained in the hearts of the villagers, and there is no need to panic at all.
The miasma forest at the entrance to the village is thick with mist, and the trees are shadowy.
The snow that had not fallen during the day was suddenly falling again.
The snowflakes are as light as catkins, rootless and helpless in the cold wind, drifting with the wind.
The smell of miasma wood mixed with the coldness in the air.
Six black shadows rushed from all directions as fast as leopards, gathered in front of the miasma forest, looked at each other without saying anything, then turned and rushed into the fog ahead.
The next moment, screams came from the forest.
Beside the reed marsh behind the miasma forest, a man in a moon robe stood with his hands behind his back, while snowflakes fell but did not touch him.
Tingfeng stood behind the man, holding a huge oil-paper umbrella high.
"Master, all six of them have been killed."
"Not alive?"
"No."
"Take the body to Pier 12, and I will examine the body when I have time."
"Aren't you going to take Wangque Tower back with you?"
"How can I put such obscure things in the place where I eat and enjoy the scenery at Wangquelou? Next time you talk nonsense, slap your mouth."
Tingfeng twitched the corner of his mouth.
After watching his men drag out six corpses from the forest, and personally confirming that none of them had faked their deaths, Bai Xiaofeng got on the soft sedan waiting nearby and said in a tired voice, "Go back to the inner city."
After the people who sneaked in failed and were captured one after another, the final blow must be made by Tu Beicun.
Tubei Village is the key to uniting the three major forces.
Now that their whereabouts have been exposed, Tubei Village will be slaughtered. Without the link connecting the three forces, the place of exile will return to the past situation of mutual oppression. At the same time, the master will also eliminate a major problem for the Huo family.
Bai Xiaofeng was sitting in the sedan with a foul look on his face.
Huo Ziheng came up with the whole plan, and the three forces cooperated.
Although they knew that the ultimate goal of the plan was to protect Tu Beishan, the three forces had to jump into this trap.
Now compared with Tu Beishan, the three forces have become soft persimmons.
If they don't fight, others will pick on the soft persimmons of the three of them and pinch them first.
"Master——" Tingfeng's voice sounded outside the sedan.
"I came here for the sake of my godson and goddaughter."
"Yes, Master, I would like to ask if we can leave some manpower here."
"……Can."
"Stay more—"
"Shut up!"
"..."
Except for Mrs. Huo, the rest of Tubei Village are now full of soft-footed shrimps that cannot be beaten. Tingfeng didn't even think about it and left nearly half of the men in Wangque Tower to guard around the miasma forest to protect Tubei Village in peace for the night.
There was a snowstorm in the middle of the night. When the villagers of Tubei Village got up, they found that the yard they had just swept yesterday was covered with a thick layer of snow.
There is nothing to do in winter, so the diligent men and women pick up brooms and sweep the yard inside and outside. They also clean up the road at the door to make it easier for villagers to walk.
"Hey, did you hear any strange noises last night? I was half asleep at the time, and I thought I heard a particularly harsh sound."
"I didn't hear it. The man at home slept like a pig. He snored so loudly that any movement was suppressed."
"It doesn't matter, it's all outside the village anyway. As long as we stay in the village, nothing will happen."
"I actually want to take a trip to the inner city... isn't it the New Year's Eve? We are busy all year round, and during the New Year I want to exchange rice grains for something else to eat, so that I can give my family, my wife and my children something good to eat." "
"Hey, you really dare to think about it. Tell your family about this and see if the elders can slap you."
"Aren't I thinking that things are different now? Hahaha. Just thinking about it, I still don't dare to say it."
"It's a pity that there is no place or person in the outer city where we can exchange things. Otherwise, we can exchange things with each other."
The door to Xiao Su's courtyard also opened. Su Da and Su Er went out carrying a broom, and bumped into Huo Ziheng who was also carrying a broom and came out to sweep the snow.
Su Da said cheerfully, "Mr. Huo, it's cold outside, you go back to the house and warm yourself by the fire! I've arranged this road with Su Er!"
Su Er winked at the man, "Sir, were you kicked out by Mrs. Huo? Your status is a bit worrying now!"
Huo Ziheng glanced at the two of them and raised his lips, "Did you volunteer?"
The two brothers, "..." They were kicked out by their parents and daughter-in-law.
They have never had such a thing as status.
Three grown men waved their brooms to sweep away the snow, and they gathered together while sweeping.
Su Da looked around and saw people working inside and outside the houses around him, chatting and laughing happily, but no one paid attention to them.
He moved closer to Huo Ziheng and whispered, "Mr. Huo, I watched two fireworks set off last night."
Su Er also came closer and squeezed a face between the two of them, "I looked at it too, one is yellow and the other is red!"
There are many things that people in the village don't know, but Xiao Su's family knows.
Otherwise, if Tianbao didn't come back all night, Xiao Su's family would be extremely anxious.
Huo Ziheng laughed when he saw the mysterious appearance of the two of them, "You are so sneaky like this. You will have secrets at first glance. People in the village will come to you later to ask."
The two brothers immediately glanced around again, and sure enough, Chen Dafu, who was nearest, was looking at them with gleaming eyes, "..."
The two of them immediately hissed at Chen Dafu and made a locking gesture on their mouths.
Chen Dafu turned serious, pinched his mouth with his hand, and patted his chest heavily: Don't worry, as brothers, I will keep your secrets!
Su Da Su Er also patted his chest hard and gave a thumbs up: Good brother!
Huo Ziheng turned around and continued to sweep away the snow, with laughter on his lips.
The chief helm of Pier 12.
Tianbao woke up and opened his eyes. Looking at the different scenery above his head, he still couldn't react, and his expression was blank.
When I heard the conversation between the old man and the bearded man outside, I remembered that I stayed at Pier 12 last night.
The little girl sat up, got out of bed, put on her little cotton shoes, and walked out.
"Grandpa Poison, Uncle Bearded, have all the arrests been made?"
Before the baby woke up, Du Buguo and Big Beard, who were sleeping next door, got up first. They didn't leave, but squatted in the small veranda outside the room to talk.
The two turned their heads when they heard the sound, and saw that the little girl who came out still had a look of confusion on her face as she had just woken up. The two crests on her forehead, one tall and one low, one fat and one thin, were completely different from the clean and tidy appearance of the past.
"..." Du Buguo turned to look at the bearded man, "Will you comb Tianbao's hair?"
Bearded man asked, "Why don't you help?"
"If I could comb my hair, could I build a bird's nest by myself?"
"..." The bearded man punched the combination twice in his mind before he went to his bedroom to get a comb.
The two old men kept giving instructions and revising, and they didn't dare to pinch the baby's hair for fear of dragging her down.
After combing their hair, the two of them put away everything in the room that could cast shadows.
