Chapter 1166 I Never Kill Children
Some of the more timid ones fainted from fright.
After Xiang Ke came out of the house, all the people in the courtyard were dealt with in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Minglang didn't interfere anymore, and Qin Xiaosi tied Chang Da up and bound him to a long bench.
His hands and feet were bound, and his mouth was stuffed with a strip of cloth.
He didn't need to wake up yet, so Minglang gave Chang Da another whack on the neck.
This allowed Chang Da's tightly furrowed brows to completely relax, and he slept soundly.
Once everyone in the courtyard had been dealt with, the commotion could no longer be concealed.
The screams of these farmers would be instantly recognizable to their family and friends who lived with them every day.
"Carry Chang Da to the head of the village's courtyard. Lock it up here and leave him alone."
Someone will come and clean these up.
Qin Xiaosi obediently did as he was told. Xiang Ke rummaged through the corner of the courtyard and found the hidden bundle. Together with His Highness, they led the horse toward the manor's courtyard.
These horses, having followed them, have seen quite a lot.
When she swung her knife just now, everyone was terrified.
She didn't miss the fact that the horses were eating their feed much faster.
Xiang Ke looked at the unfinished feed on the horse, wondering where it was stored in the manor.
They simply repackaged the leftovers and placed them on the horse's back.
Let the horse pull it along.
We haven't even reached the head of the village's courtyard yet.
Along the way, Minglang had already sensed many eyes hidden in the darkness.
"You guys go ahead, I'll go take care of a few people."
Xiang Ke took the reins from His Highness and led the remaining horses through the darkness alone.
Leaving that courtyard, the air felt so much better.
Relying on his memory, Minglang followed the direction in which Aunt Wang and her family had left.
There must be a reason why the head of the village arranged for them to stay in Aunt Wang's courtyard.
Moreover, after Aunt Wang and her family finished packing their things, apart from Aunt Wang, the rest of the family members left without even looking back.
This clearly shows that these people have already gotten used to it.
And the child that Aunt Wang was holding in her arms.
Minglang felt those eyes hidden in the darkness, staring intently at him.
Without waiting for these people to look any longer, he quickly hid himself in the darkness.
Walking in the dark, apart from having less vision than during the day, didn't have any other impact on Yu Minglang.
"Where did this person go? They were just at the gate of the yard a moment ago, how could they disappear in the blink of an eye? Could they really be a ghost?"
Throughout the journey, Minglang kept searching for Aunt Wang.
Holding a child, she wouldn't normally go too far to stay at someone else's house.
Hearing whispers on the street, Minglang pretended not to hear them, focusing solely on searching for the person she was looking for.
"How could that be? If ghosts really existed, Uncle Nine and Chang Da would be the first to die."
"Why did they go silent after they went in? Did you see clearly who came out just now? Are Chang Da and the others dead? Should we run?"
These sounds were incessant.
"Run? Where can you run to? Ever since this empress ascended the throne, the investigation has been extremely strict. You've been registered, so you can't escape the first day of the month, can you?
"Damn it, I didn't see clearly just now, I only heard these people screaming in Aunt Wang's room. The one leading the horse was quite tall, she couldn't possibly be a woman."
Xiang Ke is 175 years old, and he has been practicing martial arts for many years.
He has a strong and upright posture, and looks very dashing during the day. At night, Xiang Ke wears a night outfit and ties his hair up.
It's normal that you can't see clearly when the weather is bad.
Such sounds grew fainter and fainter in Minglang's ears.
These people are all farmers in the village, and they may only know about this kind of business that is done in the village.
However, they were unable to contact the person who was in contact with them.
Minglang searched for people by stepping on the roof tiles in the dark.
She heard the baby crying, and although her mouth was covered, she still heard it.
Minglang immediately chased after the sound of crying.
Standing on the courtyard wall, looking into the house, I could hear Aunt Wang gently soothing the baby through the window.
"Damn it, how come those useless guys from Changda are so slow? Don't they know my grandson needs milk?"
Minglang looked around and was surprised to find that apart from Aunt Wang's family, no one else lived in the courtyard.
I never expected this to be Aunt Wang's yard as well.
It looks only a little smaller than the previous one.
"Wait a little longer. Those few don't look like they'll listen to reason. Won't it take more effort?"
The window paper was very transparent, so clear that you could even see the smoke swirling around it.
Minglang didn't wait any longer and raised his hand to shoot a non-poisoned hidden arrow at the smoking man.
The man's hand, which he wanted to tease the child, froze in place.
Then, the figure collapsed.
"Old man, what are you pretending to be dead for?"
Aunt Wang must have been playing with the child and didn't see the hidden arrow shot in through the window.
Minglang wasn't in a hurry to go down and waited a while longer.
When Aunt Wang's son heard the commotion and came over, he fired another arrow.
The father and son went to hell together.
"Help! Someone's dead!"
As Aunt Wang rushed out carrying her child, a dark shadow fell in front of her.
Minglang turned around and immediately recognized the woman who was staying in her courtyard.
Aunt Wang turned to run away, but Minglang stabbed her in the throat with a knife. Before she fell, he snatched the child from her arms.
The child is exhausted from crying.
Her bright eyes were red, making it hard to bear looking at her.
Minglang didn't rush to leave; instead, she carried the child and walked into the house.
They took care of all the members of Aunt Wang's family, both the old and the young.
But they couldn't find the child who wanted the chicken leg.
"Child, come out quietly, I won't kill children."
Minglang stood in the room, with two corpses at his feet, and shouted into the dark room.
A rustling sound came from beside him, and Minglang heard it.
But they pretended not to hear.
“If you don’t come out, I’ll set the yard on fire. If you die inside, don’t blame me for not showing mercy.”
As he spoke, Minglang turned to leave, stepping out of the house and into the yard.
A child's sinister voice came from behind.
"You dared to kill my mother? I'll make you pay with your life."
Before the child could finish speaking, Minglang kicked him away.
The child's machete fell to the ground.
Minglang carried the child back into the house, only to meet the child's fearful eyes.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't kill children? You can't go back on your word!"
A rare, disdainful smile appeared on Minglang's face as he approached the child step by step.
A foot stepped on his chest and crushed it down hard.
The child's painful screams rang out, and Minglang simply left behind a light, dismissive sentence: "But I killed a man."
