Chapter 966 Sun Laohai's Family
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man said coldly:
"Old Ghost, take two men back to the gang and report to the boss what happened tonight."
The food those people brought is gone, but they killed two of our brothers!
In particular, the eldest brother's brother-in-law was among them.
If we don't bring those four heads back, we brothers will never have the face to see our sister-in-law again!
The rest of you, come with me to Old Tofu Street.
Use that area as the center and search outwards.
Remember, focus on screening out-of-town personnel!
At worst, we can search the entire North District.
I refuse to believe we can't find those four people!
The others responded in unison.
Before long, the abandoned courtyard was empty.
Inside the room, Wang Daniu, who had been tortured to the point of near death, opened his eyes.
Using his missing little finger to support himself on the ground, he slowly got up.
He slowly moved to the doorway and peered out.
Only after confirming that everyone had left did he return to his room.
He moved to the side of the other brothers and called out to them one by one.
After finally waking everyone up, he turned around and went to the inner room.
He pulled out the bulging money bag from a hole in the wall in the corner.
Seeing that the money was still there, Wang Daniu's bloodied lips slowly curled up.
As long as they have the money, they can continue to live.
The group helped each other as they walked towards their home in the north of the city.
At this moment, Lu Qingqing and the others, fast asleep, were unaware that the largest gang of thugs in Dongyuan City was searching for them.
That night, many residents near Lao Doufu Street in the north of the city had their doors kicked open and were questioned about whether they had seen any outsiders.
The search operation was temporarily brought to a close at dawn the following day.
The people in the inn were completely unaware of this.
Because many people were on duty at the inn yesterday, they hadn't had time to go shopping yet.
Today, those people decided to go out and do some shopping.
Meanwhile, those who remained at the inn were also preparing for their journey.
The most important thing is to prepare plenty of dry rations for the journey.
In addition, we need to borrow the millstone in the backyard to grind more flour.
In addition to food, each household also needs to fetch water and fill their buckets to prevent the possibility of not finding a water source for a long time on the road.
In addition, many households that value cleanliness have begun washing the clothes they wore previously.
In addition, the weather is getting hotter every day.
Some people even dug out their light clothing worn in spring and autumn, washed it, and hung it out to dry.
In the backyard of the inn, everyone was busy at work.
Those who went out to buy supplies all had clear goals.
Before going out, ask around to find out where to buy things. After leaving the house, head straight there, buy what you need, and then head back.
The main focus is on never staying out too long!
Around 6:45 AM, Lu Qingqing looked at the stack of pancakes that had been made next to her.
Looking at the rising sun, I decided to go out for a trip.
When Bai Song met Steward Zhou yesterday, he remembered the Sun family outside the city gate and asked him if he had gone out to look for people recently.
Steward Zhou only said that he was following orders from Young Master Zhou, but he couldn't say for sure when they would go out.
When he returned, Bai Song told her about it.
As previously told to Sun Laohai and the others, the team would stay in the city for two to three days to buy supplies.
This time is reserved for waiting for them.
But last night, they managed to buy the most important food supplies.
As for the remaining odds and ends, most of them have been purchased.
The group will stay in Dongyuan City for no more than one more day before leaving tomorrow.
With this in mind, Lu Qingqing decided to go to the south of the city to take a look.
It would be best if we could find Sun Laohai's family.
If we really can't find it, there's nothing we can do.
She told Old Man Zhuang and Bai Song, and then she and Qin Lang drove the carriage out the door.
As they passed through the northern part of the city, they just missed the people sent by the thugs to search for them.
The carriage traveled along the bumpy roads in the north of the city and arrived at the courtyard where they had been imprisoned.
At that moment, there wasn't a soul in the alley.
It was obvious that there was no one inside who needed to be looked after.
Lu Qingqing drove closer to check and confirmed that no one was in those courtyards.
After driving out of the alley, I looked at the tightly closed city gate and then came to the commercial street closest to the city gate.
The two drove the carriage, asking at one inn after another.
I asked at all the guesthouses near the commercial street, but I still couldn't find one.
Even the innkeeper's assistant admitted that there hadn't been any guests with young children staying at the inn in the past two days.
During the conversation, Lu Qingqing inadvertently learned the truth.
Yesterday morning, the soldiers guarding the city went out and drove away and killed a group of refugees.
Now, not a single refugee can be seen outside the city gates.
Moreover, even the bodies of those who were killed have been disposed of.
In response, Lu Qingqing could only pray that nothing had happened to Sun Laohai's family.
But now, one thing is clear: Sun Laohai and his family haven't come in yet!
At this moment, in the ditch far outside the city.
Sun Dahai looked at the city gate in the distance, his brows furrowed.
For the past two days, he and Erhe have been lying in the ditch at this intersection every day, staring in the direction of the city gate.
Thinking that if Steward Zhou and the others came out again at the city gate, he would run over to pay the fee and register.
Yesterday, the city gates were opened, but instead of Steward Zhou, a large group of soldiers carrying weapons came out.
Sun Dahai witnessed firsthand those soldiers driving away and massacring the refugees at the city gate.
The scene terrified both him and Erhe.
They hurriedly ran towards the foot of the mountain.
After I got home, I told my family what had happened.
After listening, the whole family fell silent.
All I can say is that it was fortunate that the family managed to escape into the mountains in time.
Otherwise, they might be the ones who died.
Recalling the scene from yesterday, Sun Dahai felt somewhat distressed.
I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down and continued to stare into the distance.
In any case, their family has to wait for a chance to move to the city!
Inside the city, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang couldn't find Sun Laohai's family, so they returned to the inn.
When I returned, the inn's backyard was still bustling with activity.
Upon learning that there was no news of Sun Laohai and the others, Bai Song remained silent for a moment, then sighed.
"Fine, I'll go see Steward Zhou again today."
If he can leave the city, we'll wait a little longer.
If that doesn't work, we'll have no choice but to leave the city and start our journey.
Hopefully, Sun Laohai's family will catch up later!
Lu Qingqing went back into the house, took out a bag of silver money, and handed it to Bai Song.
Bai Song glanced at it, sighed, and accepted it.
These days, he's been spending money too extravagantly.
The silver ingots that were originally stolen have been mostly spent.
The rest were mostly gold and silver jewelry and jade.
This kind of thing can be valuable in peaceful areas.
In Dongyuan City, it probably wouldn't fetch a good price at all.
"Brother Lu, consider this money a loan from your elder brother."
Lu Qingqing shook her head.
"I'll cover this cost. Go ask first, and if it's not enough, come back for more."
Bai Song patted her on the shoulder, called Yan Xu, and drove out the door.
Nearly two hours later, the two returned.
Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang were washing clothes in the backyard when they saw them return and hurriedly went to greet them.
