In the end, the dead man was carried out by Song Jian's people, hastily wrapped in old clothes and thrown into the fields on both sides of the road.
To them, these people are worse than pigs and dogs. They are better off dead and can even save some food.
But what they didn't know was that as they left with their front legs, several figures quietly followed behind them.
The atmosphere in the ancestral hall is getting duller day by day.
Although the strong laborers who went to work still brought relatively sufficient food, due to the long-term abuse before, the weak ones became increasingly unable to hold on.
Death is coming every day.
After returning from work, Ji Fangcun walked around the ancestral hall in silence before returning to the house.
There were several bedridden old people here before. Just yesterday, they were also sent out.
He looked around carefully until there was no one around, then quickly walked to his wife's bed.
"Xiaoman, how do you feel today?"
He took out the hidden medicine and food from his clothes. Li Man took them and looked at her husband's thin face with distress.
"I feel much better. The head of the Gong family has superb medical skills. I think I still have a chance of doing well."
In fact, she knew that this was all an illusion.
The foundation of the body that has long been hollowed out will eventually come to an end no matter how long it lasts.
She looked at her husband lingeringly. Fortunately, they still had some time.
"That's good. The head of the Gong family said that this medicine is specially prepared for you."
He looked around and lowered his voice.
"You can go out tomorrow. Just wait for me with your children. I will reunite with you soon!"
Ji Fangcun could not conceal his excitement in his words.
Li Man leaned in his arms, feeling a little uneasy.
She is a smart person, otherwise she would not have thought of hiding the children in that safe place.
Although Song Jian's hatred for the Li family was obvious, it would not kill them.
Maybe it's not just Song Jian who is eyeing the Li family.
In the evening, Lin Mengya, who was discussing with Long Tianyu a plan to join forces with Li Ao and Huo Xiao to rescue people, received a tip from his subordinates.
"Master, someone from the Presbyterian Church is here again. They will arrive tomorrow!"
Cairu replied in a cautious tone.
Lin Mengya was stunned.
"Why was there no movement before?"
She and Yu sent people out respectively.
Yu's people infiltrated the Presbyterian Church to monitor their movements, while her people were monitoring suspicious people along the way.
Before this, they clearly had not received any news.
Cairu's expression was also a little solemn.
"According to our people, they had been pretending to be a caravan before. Later, they were robbed by a few bandits on the road, and this was their flaw."
Having said that, they have to thank those bandits for accidentally attacking them. Helped them by accident.
But even so, this was sudden enough.
Lin Mengya frowned.
Why don't you come early, why don't you come late, but it's tomorrow?
The medicine had already taken effect. Except for the dozen old, weak, sick and disabled people rescued earlier, the rest were concentrated in the next three days.
She originally wanted to wait for these people to come out, and then cooperate with the Li family internally and externally.
Before Song Jian's reinforcements arrived, Song Jian was completely controlled.
I didn't expect that there would be such a big flaw.
Long Tianyu knew her plan and immediately said, "How about I have someone stop them?"
She thought for a moment and shook her head.
"If we do it now, the people in the Presbyterian Church will soon know that it was us who did it. When they do it on the grounds that we are outsiders, then our enemy will be the entire ancient tribe."
Long Tianyu also knew the pros and cons.
But the people from the Presbyterian Church must be coming in force this time, and if they can hide it from Song Jian, can they still hide it from those people tomorrow?
After discussing with Long Tianyu, Lin Mengya decided to stay put.
When the Presbyterians arrive, they will start trying again.
The next day, Song Jian didn't know someone had arrived until the sound of those people's hoofbeats woke up the entire Li family.
He hurriedly dressed up and went outside to greet him personally.
As soon as he saw the visitor, a flash of displeasure flashed through his eyes, but he quickly covered it up and put on a flattering face.
"Hey, it turns out to be the Sixth Young Master. It's rare for you to be an honored guest in a lowly place. I'm sorry that I missed you from afar. Please forgive me."
The Sixth Young Master just glanced at him and sneered, "Are you considered a member of the Li family? Tsk, you are just occupying a magpie's nest. You are really thick-skinned."
Being criticized so bluntly, Song Jian felt angry.
However, the other party's status is beyond his comparison.
No matter how angry he was, he had to suppress it and continue to greet people with a smile.
"Yes, yes, the Sixth Young Master has taught you a lesson. You have been tired from traveling all the way, so you might want to go inside and have a rest."
But the Sixth Young Master still didn't give him face.
"No need, I'm not here to rest. Bring the head of the Li family, I have something to ask him."
That tone made it seem as if Song Jian was just a dog under his feet.
He swaggered into the courtyard of the head of the Li family, and he was already a little impatient.
The little Li family actually dares to disobey the orders of the Presbyterian Council!
A hint of murderous intent emerged in his brown eyes.
Before leaving, my father's instructions were still in my ears.
Since the dog is disobedient
If it is found, then get rid of it directly, otherwise, it will only come back to bite the owner in the future.
Not long after, Song Jian brought someone here.
The Sixth Young Master raised his eyelids to take a look and greeted with a sneer.
"Master Li, this is the first time we meet. It seems that you are not having a good life."
The head of the Li family, Li Xian, is a tall, handsome middle-aged man.
Their Li family members are naturally handsome, and both men and women have good looks.
It is precisely because of this that they have caused these disasters.
He looked exactly like Li Ao, but his face was a little more calm and old, and now it was completely sunken.
But those eyes always had a clear light.
It seems that nothing that happens to him can destroy him.
Song Jian only saw his back and gritted his teeth with hatred.
Why should I have to miss him all my life?
He became famous in the Presbyterian Church because he could endure pain that ordinary people could not endure.
Until this moment, he was still blaming Li Xian.
But he never thought that it was he who begged Li Xian to recommend him to the Presbyterian Church.
And after all these years, Li Xian has never asked him for help.
Unfortunately, there is always a kind of people in the world who always forcefully attribute their misfortunes to others and feel that it is other people's fault.
"It's the same whether it's good or bad. I don't know why Mr. Six is here today for something important."
Li Xian's voice was a little hoarse.
He hadn't eaten for several days, and he was relying on his willpower to hold on.
The Sixth Young Master looked him up and down and said disdainfully, "You are really not a good head of the family. You knew that offending the elders would lead to death, but you still did it. Do you really think we can't cure you?"
Being scolded like this by a junior, Li Xian's face did look a little ugly.
But he had to endure it to prevent his people from suffering more abuse.
"I am incompetent, but this matter has nothing to do with other people. If the Sixth Young Master wants to kill or behead him, he can just come after me."
"Of course you will be punished."
The Sixth Young Master said as a matter of course, "But those people have made the same mistakes as you. According to the rules of our Presbyterian Church, we must not indulge them!"
This threat smacks of blood.
Li Xian gritted his teeth and had to bow his head for the sake of his tribe.
"Please tell me, Mr. Six, that this matter really has nothing to do with you!"
"I don't like to talk nonsense. The Li family has not done what they should have done, which has caused the Tianren family to be very dissatisfied. I want you to hand over those children immediately. This time, I want all the children under the age of fourteen in your Li family.
child!"
"This, how does this happen?"
Li Xian glared at the other party angrily.
< br> "Aren't you doing this to destroy the roots of my Li family? No, I won't agree!"
The pain his wife's brother endured is still vivid in his mind.
Now, they actually want the entire Li family's children to be those people's playthings!
This is simply to completely destroy the Li family.
"The Presbyterian Council has already made a decision on this matter and cannot tolerate your refusal."
The Sixth Young Master said without mercy.
"Go and bring those little bastards here. I'll just take them away so they don't have to come to this ghost place again!"
The sixth young master's tone was very impatient.
Song Jian didn't dare to delay, after all, this annoying brat was directly connected to the Presbyterian Council.
Li Xian was so angry that he almost fainted.
But he still gritted his teeth and stood in front of the other party.
"Even if I die today, I will never let you take away the children!"
But the Sixth Young Master just raised the corner of his mouth coldly.
"Then if you die, you won't be able to see it anymore?"
Li Xian was stunned and trembling with anger.
"you dare!"
"What am I afraid of?"
He stood up and took out the long sword in the waiter's hand.
"But before you die, I want you to watch me take away those children. I want to kill you in front of them, so that they will understand who to listen to."
"puff--"
Still unable to hold it back, Li Xian spat out a large mouthful of blood.
The Sixth Young Master jumped back in disgust, his handsome face suddenly turned a bit ferocious.
"You are dead!"
He announced Li Xian's fate word by word, and then cut off the corner of the table next to him with a sword.
"I'm going to change clothes, you guys keep an eye on me, don't let him die before I do something!"
After saying that, he took the people and left in a hurry.
Lin Mengya had just learned about the Sixth Young Master's intention, and Song Jian came to the door outside.
"I'm sorry, Master Gong, I have to take the child away."
Facing Song Jian's request, she delayed it as long as she could.
"But his parents haven't come yet."
Song Jian was a little anxious, and his tone was a lot stiffer.
"What does it matter whether his parents come or not? The Gong family leader is trying to evade it in every possible way. Is it possible that the Gong family leader doesn't want to make friends with him?"
Long Tianyu, who was on the side, glanced at the other party lightly.
In an instant, Song Jian shivered and his head became clearer.
The one waiting for him is not easy to offend, but the one in front of him is also a great god that he cannot afford to offend!
Suddenly, he felt a secret pain in his throat.
If he had known earlier, he would have sent someone.
