The moment a large number of thieves rushed out of the mountains and forests, those people hired by Mr. Tong ran so fast that their shoes flew off.
The two servants of the Tong family hurriedly protected Master Tong.
"No, sir, it's a robber! We have to run!"
Mr. Tong also looked pale.
Of course he knew how scary the thieves were, but looking at the carts of food behind him and the refugees living outside Tiebo City, in the end, he still gritted his teeth.
"No matter what, I'll ask them to go back with me to get the gold and silver! I must take these grains back!"
"Master, you must not do this!"
"Master, these thieves are unreasonable!"
When the two servants of the Tong family heard Master Tong's words, their expressions suddenly changed and they hurriedly spoke.
Gu Yuan, who was the "air" on the side, also felt weird when he heard Master Tong's words.
I'm afraid this Mr. Tong has lost his mind!
???????????????You actually want to reason with the robber?
But looking at Mr. Tong's determined expression at this moment, Gu Yuan knew that he really wasn't just talking.
At this moment, the thieves had already arrived.
The two servants quickly protected Mr. Tong behind them.
Master Tong's usual kindheartedness and considerate treatment of his servants also had an effect at this moment. The servant's loyal protection also moved Gu Yuan a little.
When ordinary people encounter such a situation, they will run away long ago without caring about the owner's family.
Suddenly, Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
'Could it be that the vision that appeared on Master Tong foreshadowed his murderer? '
It was not surprising that Gu Yuan had such doubts. After all, the illusion of Mr. Tong was also a thieves. However, after careful comparison, Gu Yuan found that these were not a group of people at all. Even judging from their clothes, the two were still different in age.
At this time, the thieves on horseback were already approaching. Mr. Tong pushed aside the servant and was about to discuss it with the other party, but the other party had already raised the knife in his hand with a ferocious smile on his face.
At this moment, the thief in the illusion also waved the knife in his hand.
In the vision, a bodyguard's head was cut off.
And here.
Mr. Tong opened his mouth and didn't even have time to say anything. The blade had already fallen.
Blood spurted out and heads rolled down.
Everything happened so fast.
Warm blood splashed on his face.
One of them fainted from fright.
But even so, these vicious thieves still ended his life.
Seeing the thieves happily pulling the grain up the mountain, Gu Yuan clenched his fists and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
In his opinion.
Although Mr. Tong's final choice was a little pedantic, he shouldn't have ended up like this.
Why……
Why don't these bastards who deserve to be cut to pieces not even let Master Tong speak?
Although, in Gu Yuan's view, even if Mr. Tong had the opportunity to speak, judging from the way these thieves did things, there would still be no good end, but... that was an opportunity after all!
Master Tong just wanted to bring this food back to Tiebo City and fulfill the promise he made to the refugees.
Why did it end up like this?
"It shouldn't be like this..." Gu Yuan murmured.
Looking at the smiles on the faces of those thieves, Gu Yuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
He saw with his own eyes that one of the thieves picked up Master Tong's head, threw it high into the air, like playing tennis, and then slapped it away with the blade of a knife.
Like some interesting game.
"Damn it..." Gu Yuan's state of mind began to shake.
Right now.
Gu Yuan heard Muyu's voice again.
Immediately, the whole world seemed to be ignited by a fire, smoke rose up, but all that could be felt was the faint scent of sandalwood...
In the smoke, golden light flashed, like lightning flashing in the clouds.
Listening to the sound of wooden fish echoing in his ears, Gu Yuan's heart slowly calmed down.
When the smoke dissipated again, the original day had now turned into night.
He looked around and found himself in an alley.
Maybe it had rained not long ago and there were puddles on the ground.
In what was supposed to be a quiet environment, Gu Yuan heard a few coughs.
As soon as he turned around, a man in cloth walked through his illusion.
While walking, he was still cursing.
"Damn, I'm so unlucky today..."
The man didn't look too old, and his figure was relatively thin. When he walked, his steps were even more frivolous, as if his body had been drained by alcohol and sex at such a young age.
Gu Yuan was not prepared to respond, but just when he was about to turn around, his body suddenly froze.
"Huh?"
He took a few steps forward and followed the man silently, staring at the illusion that appeared above his head.
In the dark environment, the illusion above the man's head is like a picture projected onto the screen by a projector.
In the illusion, there was a little girl wearing a red cotton-padded jacket and two braids. She looked very cute.
In the vast whiteness, the little girl picked up a nearly frozen puppy from the snow, held it carefully in her arms, took it home, and hid it under the quilt.
I don’t know how long it took, but the little puppy finally woke up, and the little girl with braids laughed happily, her big black grape-like eyes turning into crescent moons.
The picture looked very warm and beautiful. Even if he was just a spectator, Gu Yuan had a smile on his face.
But soon, the little girl's parents came back. They found the puppy hiding under the quilt. It looked very angry and wanted to throw the puppy away. But when they saw their daughter crying, they finally relented and the puppy was kept.
…
"Bang" sound.
The man with the illusion above his head kicked open the wooden door and strode in.
The woman holding the child looked a little uneasy.
"Master, you came back so late..."
The woman's tone sounded timid.
Somehow.
Seeing such a scene, Gu Yuan suddenly thought of Yuqin, Liangliang, and the Flower Demon.
When the hot food was brought to the table, the man suddenly became furious, stretched out his hand, overturned the table, and kicked the woman.
"I've been busy outside all day, and you're going to feed me this when I get back?! Huh? I don't even have a piece of meat, so what's the point of marrying you?!"
The woman who was kicked to the ground had fear in her eyes. There were big and small scars on her neck and face.
"The family...the family has no money..."
"No money? Damn, where's the money?"
"It's all because of you, because of you..." The woman trembled, but she didn't dare to say the words she wanted to say.
The man rushed forward, grabbed her neck, and slapped her face several times. The child who came out of the back room was so frightened that she cried. The man picked up the bowl on the table and smashed it.
"Shut up, I! It's so noisy!" he said fiercely.
The child's head was hit by a bowl, and blood hung on his face. Gu Yuan was so angry that he was shaking all over. He stretched out his hand and wanted to strangle the man's neck, but his hand passed through the other man's body.
But the man who had done all this went back to the house to sleep. The woman hugged her child and huddled in the corner, hiding in the darkness and suppressing her emotions and crying.
This situation has happened countless times in this dilapidated home.
In the next few days, Gu Yuan discovered how much this rogue named Shi Laosan was hated by others.
Like the man in the Demon Realm, he often hangs out in casinos. Sometimes, he won't come out of the casino for three or four days.
If you win money, go to Goulan and squander it all.
When I have no money, I first go home to vent my anger, and then I run out and become a gentleman.
He is not a professional thief or robber, and he only picks on elderly people, women and children.
His body, already drained by alcohol and sex, could be pushed to the ground by any man.
But those old people, women and children did not have the strength to resist.
And one night, Shi Laosan, who was also a gentleman in Liang Shang, was discovered. Gu Yuan saw him strangle the white-haired old couple to death, then took out a few copper coins and walked away.
In the darkness, Gu Yuan suddenly felt that he was scarier than any monster he had ever seen.
"Such a person should die on the streets." Gu Yuan stared at him and said coldly.
