At this time, outside the village less than one kilometer away from Lujiagou, a group of strong men from Lujiagou were walking back home with difficulty.
Most of them had pain on their faces, and many of them didn't even have the strength to speak.
There were only one or two energetic people who kept cursing.
"What the hell, it's not a waste of time. I'm almost starving to death."
One of the men with beards cursed loudly.
As soon as these words came out, a red-faced man next to him suddenly became unhappy and said: "Stop talking! No one has eaten, everyone is hungry!"
"I need to eat when I'm hungry!"
The bearded man pointed at his belly and said angrily: "That bullshit martial arts school not only didn't give us any money, it didn't even give us food! If you hadn't stopped me, I would have smashed it right then!"
"You can smash it? Any sweeper in the martial arts school is better than you. You have the guts to do it yourself!"
The red-faced man obviously had trouble dealing with the bearded man, and he was beaten to death with just one sentence.
The bearded man's face turned red.
When he was kicked out before, he did have the urge to smash up the martial arts gym, but he was frightened by a sharp look.
The concierge who was responsible for looking after the door just glanced at him and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word.
By the time he came to his senses, the team had arrived outside Qingyue City.
At this time, the bearded man naturally did not dare to go back, so he could only curse a few words to satisfy his craving.
Being scolded, the bearded man felt unhappy.
It was almost time to arrive home, but I didn't get the 10 taels of silver I originally promised, so I couldn't go home to meet my mother-in-law.
Suddenly, he thought of a crooked idea.
"Brothers, you said our trip was in vain, is it because of Lu Xiaoyue?"
The bearded man asked tentatively.
Speaking of running for nothing, many people became interested and looked over.
Someone immediately said: "Absolutely! If it wasn't Lu Xiaoyue, how could we go to Qingyue City?"
"Yes, that white-eyed wolf back then said he would give each of us 10 taels of silver just for Xiaoyue's sake."
"That's right."
Seeing someone agreeing, a smile appeared on the corner of the bearded mouth, and he said: "Then we suffer the loss of being dumb? Don't you want to get some compensation?"
"How to compensate? Do you dare to ask that martial arts school for money?"
"It's not like we've never suffered losses... We honest farmers, what can we do if we suffer losses?"
"Yes, it's 10 taels of silver! I thought it was unreliable at first, but now it turns out it's really a lie."
Seeing the villagers admit defeat one by one and would rather suffer a loss, the bearded faces were full of disdain.
"Tch! You are just trash who will only suffer losses for the rest of your life!"
As soon as these words came out, the villagers became excited.
"Who are you scolding?"
"You are not a waste. If you have the ability, bring me those 10 taels of silver!"
"That's right, you didn't say you wanted compensation. If you have the ability to get it all for us, I will admit that you are not a waste!"
Seeing that the villagers were beginning to fall into the trap, the bearded man smiled proudly and said, "This is what you said!"
"Let me ask you, we can't afford to offend the martial arts school, but in Lu Xiaoyue's house, there are only the disabled Lu Yuantu and a mother-in-law. Do you dare to go?"
"What do you mean?"
Everyone was frightened and asked quickly.
"Our trip was in vain, but Lu Xiaoyue's family has already made a lot of money!"
"You have all forgotten that before I went to Qingyue City, I gave them 1,200 taels of silver. Those are genuine silver notes!"
"We haven't even seen any of our money! But his family has taken so much money all by himself. Isn't it unreasonable?"
"With so many of us going there, let Lu Yuantu share some of his hard work, do you think it's appropriate?"
The bearded man analyzed it seductively.
After listening to it, many people feel that these words are a bit excessive, but they also feel that these words are very reasonable.
Why can Lu Xiaoyue's family get so much money?
And not only did my trip go in vain, but I didn’t even have food or shelter?
Everyone went to protect Lu Xiaoyue. Now that they haven't received the money, they naturally have to ask Lu Xiaoyue's family for it!
It doesn't take much. According to the original promise, 10 taels per person is enough.
Many people thought so, so they had a few private conversations and quickly reached a consensus.
"That's right! What Lao Shiyi said makes sense. Let's go to Lu Yuantu's house and ask for some hard-earned money. It doesn't cost much. Ten taels of silver per person is enough!"
"Yes, we want the 10 taels of silver we agreed on before, and we don't want any more!"
"I support it too! Anyway, that white-eyed wolf also said that he would go to Lu Xiaoyue's house to retrieve the money in person. Instead of letting him take it back, why not give it to us first."
"Well said!"
The bearded man clapped his hands and praised loudly.
Then he added: "Since we already have an idea, let's not go home yet! Go to Lu Yuantu's house and get the money."
"good!"
A group of villagers echoed loudly.
However, one of these people did not shout along.
He was the red-faced burly man with the beard that he criticized at the beginning.
He knew exactly what the beard wanted.
This group of people were not so much there to protect Lu Xiaoyue as they were to take advantage of her, eat and drink, and make some money along the way.
Now that I haven't gotten the money, I want to ask Lu Xiaoyue's family for it.
Have they never thought about where the target of their protection, Lu Xiaoyue, is now?
What the hell, you don’t even know where the person you’re protecting is, so you still have the nerve to pay for it?
If he hadn't known that he couldn't beat so many people, the red-faced man would have wanted to go up and slap each of them!
"A bunch of ungrateful white-eyed wolves!"
The red-faced man cursed harshly in his mind and followed them.
It's not that we go together to ask for money, but that we are prepared to stand up and help Lu Yuantu's family at the critical moment.
Who can't stand it?
Soon, a group of people arrived at the door of Lu Xiaoyue's house.
The bearded man took the lead, rushed to knock on the door, and shouted: "Lu Yuantu, is Lu Yuantu here?"
If there is anyone who will definitely be in this family, it must be Lu Yuantu.
His leg was bitten by a big black dog and he is still recovering. There is no way he is not at home.
However, after knocking for a while, there was no response.
"Lu Yuantu, please open the door!"
The bearded man continued to shout.
I don’t know if Lu Yuantu fell asleep, but he shouted for a while, but there was no response.
On the contrary, the neighbors heard the sound and came out to watch. Especially the sixth aunt next door who was the closest. After seeing these people, she came over immediately.
"Are you all back?" Aunt Six asked curiously.
Yesterday when people from the city came to see Xiaoyue, she also looked at them and said they were going to the city for two days.
Why did you come back just one day ago?
Aunt Six looked at the crowd and suddenly noticed something was wrong.
