After seeing his wife away, Ji Fangcun sat silently in the room with his work tools at hand.
Those hoes and hammers could be shackles used by Song Jian to exploit them, but they could also become weapons for them to resist these invaders.
I wonder how prepared the Gong family master is.
The time they agreed on was in the evening, and by then they would work together inside and outside to completely rescue the Li family.
But for some reason, he always felt a little uneasy today.
"Brother Ji, that bastard Song Jian brought someone over and asked us all to come over!"
A young man who had a good relationship with him ran in and said hurriedly.
Ji Fangcun changed his mind.
Song Jian would return to his residence at this time every day. Why did it come so suddenly this time?
Could it be that you discovered something? .??.
He remembered the instructions from his wife and the head of the Gong family, picked up the hoe and whispered, "Go and see what's going on first."
Within a few days, there were more than a hundred people missing. Fortunately, the Li family ancestral hall was quite large, equivalent to a small football field. When all these people were gathered together, it was difficult to see them.
Song Jian stood in front of them in a state of embarrassment, his tone as angry as ever.
"Listen to me! From now on, you will guard the door tightly for me. If you dare to let anyone in, you will be dead!"
After saying that, he hurriedly led the Sixth Young Master and his group to the backyard.
The Sixth Young Master didn't even look at these people. He just dragged Li Xian to the backyard with his own hands.
"Master!"
"It's the head of the family!"
"Let go of the master!"
The eyes of all the Li family members were red. The head of the Li family in front of them was dying, with blood stains on the corners of his mouth. It was clear at a glance that he had suffered a lot of abuse.
But the Sixth Young Master cruelly trampled on Li Xian's left arm and broke it.
The head of the Li family groaned, and his breathing became rapid due to the pain.
"If you want him to die, you can continue to cause trouble!"
The Sixth Young Master was so ruthless in his actions that even Song Jian was afraid of him.
Everyone in the Li family was also shocked and could only grit their teeth and not dare to step forward.
"Walk."
They watched helplessly as Song Jian and the Sixth Young Master took the man away, but they were unable to do anything.
The young man looked at the master anxiously and asked in a low voice, "What can we do? The master is still in their hands!"
Jifangcun was also a little upset.
With his too poor wisdom, it is really difficult to think of an effective method.
Just when he was secretly worried, there was someone in the crowd who had already sneaked out while taking advantage of the crowd.
After Lin Mengya received the news that the Sixth Young Master and Li Xian were both at the ancestral hall, she rushed over with Long Tianyu.
It’s not that she didn’t have any arrangements before, she just However, the behavior of the Sixth Young Master and Song Jian was too weird.
In this case, they didn't rush to escape, but came here with the hostages.
Maybe, there is something more important here!
"Master, should we rush in?"
Bai Su asked in a low voice.
Lin Mengya looked at the closed door and already had concerns in her heart.
"Ada, take your people and sneak in first and join our people. If there is a chance, follow the original plan."
Ada nodded, and a few people hurriedly disappeared in front of her.
Lin Mengya looked around and then at the ancestral hall.
She didn't know what she was thinking of, but she actually walked a short distance to the ancestral hall.
Long Tianyu kept watching her.
Knowing the existence of the system and Xiaoyao, he has long been accustomed to his wife's various "strange behaviors".
Maybe she found some clues with the help of Xiao Yao.
And when Lin Mengya came back to him again, she revealed what she had discovered.
"Yu, the fields of the Li family are all concentric circles. I just found on the map recorded by Xiao Yao that the center of these concentric circles of different sizes is this ancestral hall."
When she first came in, she felt strange. Under normal circumstances, the fields on both sides of the road were divided into shapes and sizes to facilitate people's farming.
But here, they are exactly perfect circles.
Perhaps if you look down from the air, you can see the problem more intuitively.
It's just that they don't have the conditions now, so she can only see the simulation diagram of the system.
When Long Tianyu heard this, he also looked around.
"It seems so."
Could it be that this has any special meaning?
Just when the two were uncertain, a loud noise suddenly came from the ancestral hall not far away.
She felt as if there was an earthquake under her feet. In a panic, she held on to Long Tianyu's wheelchair tightly, for fear that he would be injured.
Unexpectedly, when the sound stopped, half of the ancestral hall collapsed.
"Go and save people!"
She directed everyone to search for survivors in the ruins of the ancestral hall.
Fortunately, the building of the ancestral hall is not very high, and most people were in the square in front when the incident occurred, so everyone just stepped on it in panic and caused more damage.
And because of this sudden change, the people in Jifang Village subdued the people left behind by Song Jian and the Sixth Young Master with little effort.
By the time Lin Mengya joined them, the situation had already changed
It's already under their control.
"Master Gong!"
The sharp-eyed Ji Fangcun was the first to spot her.
Lin Mengya handed Long Tianyu to Ah San and the others, and gave some uneasy instructions before walking over to investigate the situation.
"What happened?" .??.
She frowned and looked at the ancestral hall where the sky suddenly collapsed.
And Ji Fangcun was obviously confused.
"I don't know either. It was fine just now, but somehow the backyard collapsed!"
"Oops, the head of the family and the elders are still inside!"
The young man who had been following Ji Fangcun slapped his thigh and shouted.
Lin Mengya did not dare to delay and immediately directed the young adults to go to the backyard to check the situation.
What she didn't expect was that all the houses in the backyard had disappeared.
Instead, there was a large circular pit with a diameter of twenty to thirty meters.
Everyone gathered around the pit anxiously, but no one dared to go down.
Lin Mengya was pulled by Bai Su and took a look into the pit.
It's at least fifty or sixty meters deep inside.
And there are a lot of house debris inside. The most important thing is that the situation inside is not stable at all, and things are constantly leaking from the surroundings.
No matter how skilled the expert is, they don't dare to go down, not to mention, they don't know the situation of this pit at all.
In Jifang Village, they had already searched the backyard and found only four unconscious young people lying in a small room on the east side.
Coincidentally, these four people turned out to be the subordinates who suddenly lost contact with Long Tianyu.
Lin Mengya learned from their mouths that they were assigned to take care of the family head and elders.
They only knew that Song Jian imprisoned these people in order to force them to question the existence of something.
As for what such a thing is or whether it has been found, they have no idea.
Moreover, they fell unconscious this morning after drinking a bowl of water poured by the clan elder.
After listening to their words, Lin Mengya looked at the big pit that suddenly appeared, and her heart sank again and again.
The clan elders obviously didn't want to drag these four people down when they did this.
I'm afraid that they are in danger.
She asked Ji Fangcun to drive most of the Li family members to the front yard.
Not long after, Li Ao, who heard the commotion, hurried over with his people.
"Master Gong, where are my father and some of my uncles?"
Lin Mengya didn't know how to tell him, but in the end, she could only take him to the big pit in the backyard.
"This is?"
Li Ao was also dumbfounded.
"You heard something moving just now. Calm down, I don’t know why, but after we arrived, things became like this."
She felt a little guilty.
It was because she had agreed with Ji Fangcun and the others to do something tonight that she had neglected this place.
Who would have thought that Song Jian and the Sixth Young Master didn't even run away, so they killed one of them with a carbine.
If the head of the Li family really encounters any misfortune because of this, I'm afraid she will feel uneasy.
Li Ao looked at the big pit dejectedly.
"how so?"
He said that he was about to jump in, but in the end, Lin Mengya had someone stop him.
"I'm going to save my father and the others! Master Gong, let me go!"
"No, it's still unstable down there and it's very dangerous! I know you want to save your father, but you have to ensure your own safety, they still need you!"
Lin Mengya pointed at the panicked and helpless Li family members.
Just now, they experienced a narrow escape.
Li Ao stopped trying to break free, knelt on the edge of the pit, covered his face and cried silently.
"I'll watch over here for you. Once it's stable, you'll be the first to go down."
She comforted softly.
This incident was so sudden that even she still finds it unbelievable.
Li Ao managed to calm down his emotions, stood up and begged her sincerely.
"Please be sure to notify me as soon as possible!"
"okay, I get it."
Under the heavy dust, Li Ao turned to face his tribe.
Lin Mengya, on the other hand, retreated to a relatively safe position and kept nervously monitoring the situation inside the collapsed pit.
Her ears could hear the tiniest sounds.
After more than half an hour, there was no movement inside.
The smoke and dust in the air slowly dissipated, and she took a deep breath, carefully distinguishing the smell.
There is no smell of gunpowder, but there is a damp earthy smell.
This shows that the formation of this large pit is probably because the bottom is hollow.
But this ancestral hall of the Li family has existed for at least hundreds of years.
In the past hundred years, there has been no problem at all, and from the way she looked at Li's family, it seemed that no one knew what was going on underneath the ancestral hall.
She already has a preliminary idea in her mind, but it has not been confirmed yet.
After another hour or so, she went to the edge of the pit to check it out in person.
A relatively stable situation has formed around it. As long as it is not damaged by great external forces, it should not continue to collapse.
Bai Su pulled her with the rope uneasily, muttering, "Master, be careful! Otherwise, I'd better go down!"
