"Who is this person who wants to destroy my Dou family?"
Dou Changsheng was heartbroken, his hands and feet were cold, and he looked at the women and children left behind in each house, all of them died tragically from the poison, and black threads appeared on his cheeks, like a centipede.
I was shocked and angry.
Too cruel.
Even if he has no friendship with Mr. Dou.
But after all, this is my entire family.
Nima?
I just came back yesterday, and if you calculate carefully, it has only been 24 hours, not even 48 hours or two days.
Isn't this to add the character of Tiansha Lone Star to yourself?
Shivering and cold.
When will I, Dou Changsheng, be able to stand up and become the light of the right path?
"Unexpected."
"My family, Dou, has suffered such a disaster."
Dou Wangli gave a sad speech, looking at the painful Dou Changsheng. He just raised his feet to walk over and comforted Dou Changsheng, but immediately his heart trembled.
The evil star.
Four words jumped out of nowhere.
It's been less than two days?
Many of the clan members died.
His thighs stiffened slightly, and then he took two steps back calmly, looking around at the clan members gathered together.
Because Lao Ba and the screams appeared one after another, many people were worried about their families and had already rushed back. They didn't think too much about it at the time, but now they are all in danger.
So now there are only eight people left.
The Dou family didn't have many people, but counting up and down, there were more than 200 people. In less than midnight, only eight of them died.
Among the eight people, Dou Changsheng must be included.
After we went there, there were only seven people.
Myself, my son Dou Changli, the old patriarch, the ninth, the tenth, the eleventh and the twelfth.
Thinking back to yesterday's banquet, the whole family gathered together happily and laughed happily.
It's too awful.
Dou Wangli couldn't help but take another step back.
Already standing at the farthest place from Dou Changsheng.
Looking up at his son Dou Changli, Dou Wangli had already moved closer to Dou Changsheng. Dou Wangli's expression changed slightly, and finally he walked back a few steps helplessly, came to Dou Changli's side, and tugged on Dou Changli's clothes.
After several repeated pulls, instead of pulling Dou Changli away, Dou Changli grabbed his wrist and began to move closer to Dou Changsheng. He only heard Dou Changli's excited words: "Father,"
"It's too dangerous now. Get closer to Brother Seventeen."
"So that Brother Seventeen can protect us."
Dou Changsheng consoled him and said, "Don't worry, Nineteenth Brother. With me here, you will be absolutely safe."
Seeing that Dou Wangli looked strange, he thought that the other party was worried about his own safety, so he continued to explain: "Now the deceased are all poisoned. From this, it can be seen that the enemy's strength does not have an advantage."
"That's why I chose to poison."
"As long as we are united and no one acts alone, the enemy will not be able to do anything to us."
"Doujiazhuang is only six or seven miles away from Qingcheng. With our pace, it won't take half a quarter of an hour to get to Qingcheng."
A quarter of an hour is fifteen minutes, and a quarter of an hour is half an hour. This is still taking care of the old patriarch. If the old patriarch is carried on his back and galloped all the way towards Qingcheng, it will only take minutes.
"When the enemy sees it, he wants to destroy our entire Dou family. If the enemy is not stupid, he will definitely take advantage of such a big loophole. This must be a trap, waiting for us to get into it."
"There must be traps on the road to Qingcheng."
"We want to go in the opposite direction. There are only two roads in front and back of the Dou family. We don't go to Qingcheng. We go into the mountains."
Dou Changsheng now has no clue as to the identity of his enemy.
I thought it was Li Shen who was arresting him, but a great master killed some women and children, some were lower than the third rank, and occasionally one was in the third rank, and he resorted to such despicable methods as poisoning.
This theory does not make sense. Just like the analysis, the enemy has never dared to confront us.
If Li Shen arrests them, there will be only eight of them left. There is no need to expend more energy and they can just show up and kill them.
Dou Changli happily praised and said: "Brother Seventeen is Brother Seventeen."
"He is worthy of being a world-famous hero who protects his clan."
"You can see through the enemy's plot at a glance."
"We, the Dou family, live here all year round and are most familiar with the conditions in the mountains. As long as we enter the mountains, we can use the complex environment of the mountains to lay traps."
"We can fight back."
Dou Wangli looked at the excited Dou Changli. He slapped Dou Changli on the shoulder with hesitation and said, "We can take advantage of the mountain environment and hide directly."
"After a period of time, we will rush to Qingcheng after it is safe. At that time, Changsheng will be able to mobilize the six gate agents to use the power of the imperial court to deal with this enemy."
The old patriarch also echoed the sermon: "Yes."
"So many people from our Dou family have died. This is a major case that shocked Qizhou."
"As a famous arrester of the Six Sects, Changsheng can investigate this case and avenge his tribe."
There were a lot of voices, all of them in agreement. It has to be said that the ninth and eleventh people, even though their whole family was poisoned to death, the timidity and fear in their hearts have suppressed their hatred. Not one of them
Tends to retaliate directly.
They all want to survive this disaster safely and then take matters into their own hands.
But there is nothing wrong with this idea.
Dou Changsheng did not want to fight a bloody battle with the enemy. It was not a matter of being unable to defeat him. As an official of the court, he could mobilize the power of the court and crush him with just one order. There was no need to compete with the thieves in a battle of wits and courage.
Seeing that the young and energetic Dou Changli had been taught a lesson by Dou Wangli and the old patriarch who kept talking, Dou Changsheng looked at Dou Wangli and said: "If you want to enter the mountains, you can't take the main road."
"Where to enter the mountains in Doujiazhuang, the terrain will be more complicated, and we can take advantage of the situation to get rid of the enemy."
"Uncle Qi will lead the way."
Dou Wangli looked towards the mountains. In the dark night, the mountains looked like a ferocious beast lying on the ground, giving people a sense of mystery and fear.
Dou Wangli sighed and said: "If Lao Ba doesn't die, he will be the best hunter in our Dou clan."
"I have to go into the mountains for half a month every month. I know every plant and tree in the mountains clearly."
"If Lao Ba is here, the thief will definitely be hunted by us if he enters the mountain."
"Now it seems that Lao Ba died first, and it was not without reason. The enemy was afraid that we would hide in the mountains, and some were afraid of Lao Ba, so they killed Lao Ba first."
"Lao Jiu, occasionally you and Lao Ba go into the mountains to pick some herbs and hunt some monsters. It's up to you to decide how to go."
Lao Jiu is a bearded man who has always been taciturn and doesn't speak much. He has three claw marks on his neck. The scars are turned outwards and are extremely hideous and terrifying.
At this time, after hearing Dou Wangli's words, he couldn't help but squeeze a wooden sign in his palm. The wooden sign was very ordinary, not a valuable thing, and it had been played with all year round, and it had already developed patina.
The engravings on the wooden sign are now blurry, and they are obviously old.
Lao Jiu nodded and said, "Let's go."
Lao Jiu strode ahead, followed by the rest, and they arrived directly at Lao Ba's mansion.
In Lao Ba's backyard, Lao Jiu reached for the weapon rack, took out a long bow, hung it directly on his shoulder, put the quiver on his back, picked up a scimitar, and started to arm himself.
There were many weapons on Lao Ba's weapon rack, and other people began to hold weapons one after another, and soon they were armed.
Lao Jiu was not only carrying weapons, but also other things. He was going to stay in the mountains for many days, so he naturally had to be prepared.
However, Lao Ba often goes to the mountains and has everything prepared, which saves time and reduces risks.
After a quarter of an hour of delay, Lao Jiu lifted up the wooden board on the ground, and a secret passage appeared underneath.
Looking at this secret passage, Lao Jiu explained in a rare way: "Myna has been going into the mountain all year round and got a lot of good things."
"But every time, a portion has to be given to the clan leader. Once the number of times increases, myna becomes less willing."
"So you asked me to dig this secret tunnel, which can lead directly to the mountain."
"Only Bage and I know about it here, not even Bage, and outsiders certainly don't know either."
"It's the safest place for us to enter the mountains."
The old patriarch looked unhappy, his wrinkled face was completely livid, and he opened his mouth to curse a few words. Lao Ba also tried to attack his family, but in the end he opened his mouth and no sound came out.
Now that we are in a life-and-death crisis, this secret passage is actually a good thing.
After Lao Jiu explained something, he took the flint and lit the torch, and then said to the old patriarch: "Patriarch, you go first."
The old patriarch was not polite and walked first without hesitation, holding a torch and walking into the secret passage.
In the blink of an eye, everyone walked into the secret passage. Lao Jiu walked in last because he had spread the weeds on the wooden planks, and then after entering the secret passage, he slowly moved the wooden planks to cover the secret passage.
After working for a while, he said to everyone: "I don't know if the enemy is watching us."
"If we don't monitor, this can confuse the other party for a period of time. If we monitor, we take the secret passage, and he won't know where the exit of the secret passage is."
"In short, it is safe for us to enter the mountain. Once we reach the mountain, it will not be difficult to get rid of the other party due to the complex terrain of the mountain forest."
The old patriarch breathed a sigh of relief and then said: "Lao Jiu, you have made a meritorious service this time."
"When it's safe, the clan won't treat you badly."
"I'll buy you a big house with seven rooms, and find a good family."
As the old patriarch walked away, he made a promise to Lao Jiu. Now is the time for Lao Jiu to contribute, so the old patriarch will naturally not be stingy.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, I also talked for a quarter of an hour.
Just for the sake of peace of mind of Lao Jiu, let Lao Jiu put in more effort.
"I originally planned to wait until I was about to die to talk to you about Fang'er's matter. I will also give you an explanation when I am safe."
