Chapter 77 The Truth
Chapter 77 The Truth
When Da Ya and her friends heard that Yang Hualing had sent people to find them, they were all so surprised they couldn't close their mouths.
When the group returned to their thatched hut in the valley from the flat land behind the mountain, they saw two strange men and then believed it was true.
"Brothers, I heard you were sent by Sister Yang?" Daya asked with some skepticism.
The two introduced themselves to them again, saying that they were sent by Lady Hua Lingxing to find the remaining people of Su Family Village.
Hearing this, Daya asked curiously, "How did you find this place?"
When Wang Yi and Huang Zhenghong heard Da Ya ask this, they replied helplessly.
"Six months ago, Lady Hua Lingxing led us to Su Family Village. When we saw the horrific scene, we buried the villagers under her guidance."
Lord Hua Lingxing knew that there were still thirty or forty people missing in the village, and guessed that you must have left, so he sent the two of us out to find you.
Then, in the process of searching for you, we learned that you had stayed in Fengyuan County for a period of time.
Through a covert investigation, we discovered that it was Lü Tianba from Fengyuan County who helped you, but he gave us wrong directions, causing us to make a wasted trip.
After our fruitless search, we went back to find Lü Tianba, only to learn that he had run away. Left with no other option, we interrogated his henchmen at the gambling den and learned that you had headed south. After searching for over half a year, we finally found you here.
The villagers of Sujia Village were filled with gratitude upon hearing this. Yang Hualing had actually kept these two busy for half a year in order to find them.
Da Ya pressed on, "Do you know who harmed the people of Sujia Village?"
Upon hearing Daya's question, Huang Zhenghong quickly explained to her.
"The massacre of those men in black in your Su Family Village was carried out by the Qin Kingdom's Shadow Organization."
About a year ago, the dark figure that Lin Xiaoya from Sujia Village chased after was probably the third and fourth assassins of the Shadow Organization.
The Shadow Organization hadn't received any news from them for months, so they sent their men out to search, and they ended up in Su Family Village. They didn't know why they were massacring the village.
Daya clenched her fist tightly, as if she wanted to vent her anger through the force of her grip.
The light in his eyes flickered intensely like burning flames, and his anger seemed about to burst forth from his eye sockets.
"The shadow organization of Qin, how could you treat our Su Family Village so cruelly, killing so many innocent clansmen?"
I swear, I will make you pay a heavy price, and make you pay for your crimes in blood!
Daya's voice contained endless determination and hatred, and every word struck the hearts of everyone like a heavy hammer.
Those of Shanzi and his martial arts skills were now burning with rage. They gripped their weapons tightly, the gleaming blades seeming to speak of the fury within them.
They knew that only by bringing the murderers to justice could they comfort the spirits of their deceased clansmen.
The two men watched the group of children filled with grief and indignation silently, and a deep sense of respect welled up in their hearts.
They witnessed Daya's indomitable spirit and felt Shanzi and others' unwavering pursuit of justice.
“Miss Daya, Lady Hua Lingxing was heartbroken when she learned of what happened to you. She specially asked us to take you back. She will definitely use her power to help you avenge your grievances.”
Huang Zhenghong said solemnly, his eyes revealing a firm belief.
Daya pondered for a moment, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
Finally, she slowly nodded and said, "Alright, since Sister Yang has said so, then we will go back with you."
At the same time, we also want to thank you for helping us properly bury our relatives in the village, so that they can rest in peace beneath this land.
Then Xiaoyue said seriously, "But before we go back with you, we must go to Fengyuan County and have Lu Tianba's men tell him that he no longer needs to hide."
The two men exchanged a glance and nodded. "Alright, you all hurry up and pack your things. We'll set off for Fengyuan County early tomorrow morning, and then we'll head to Huanling City."
With the help of the two people from the Illusionary Spirit Mansion, everyone in Su Family Village immediately got to work. They packed their luggage, feeling incredibly happy, finally free from their worries.
They knew that this journey would definitely not be smooth sailing.
But they also firmly believe that as long as everyone works together with one mind and one heart, they will definitely be able to solve all the problems and usher in a brand new beginning for themselves.
For the past six months or so, the huge weight that had been weighing on my heart has finally been lifted.
After a busy day, everything that needed to be tidied up has been done.
Early the next morning, they followed the two people sent by Yang Hualing to protect them and set off for Huanling City.
Because Xiaoyue needed to go to Fengyuan County to inform Lü Tianba, everyone had to head north.
After all, their current location is at the border between the Si Dynasty and the Qin State's Ling State.
If they don't go to Fengyuan County, they can go directly east and reach Huanling City.
The return trip was much faster; the group arrived in Fengyuan County in less than 20 days.
The 20 days of running around left everyone exhausted and covered in dust, but it was much easier than when they were on the run.
Wang Yi first arranged for the villagers to stay at a restaurant, and then went to the gambling den with Xiaoyue and the others.
When Xiaoyue and her friends entered the gambling den, the dealer stared at him with wide eyes, hardly believing it, and quickly ran towards them.
"Little Yue, didn't you leave? Why are you back again!"
The dealer politely asked Xiaoyue and the others.
It wasn't that he didn't recognize the two people from the Illusionary Spirit Mansion, but rather that their current attire was quite different from what it had been six months ago.
“Brother, we heard about what happened to Master Lü, so we came back to see him and tell him that he doesn’t need to hide anymore.”
Upon hearing Xiaoyue's words, the dealer knew they were safe.
Xiaoyue paused for a moment, then continued.
"Brother croupier, we will stay in Fengyuan County for three days."
If it's convenient, could you please tell Master Lü that if he really can't make it back, we'll thank him in person next time we come to Fengyuan County.
Upon hearing Xiaoyue's words, the dealer hurriedly spoke up.
“Miss Xiaoyue, there’s no need for that. My eldest son will definitely be back within three days. I’ll send someone to inform him now. You all can rest in the attic for a while, and I’ll go prepare some food for you.”
"There's no need for that. Just go to the restaurant and let us know."
Xiaoyue declined the dealer's invitation, and they went out.
The dealer wanted to persuade them to stay a little longer, but since Xiaoyue and the others wanted to leave, the dealer could only see them off.
The croupier ordered his henchmen to ride fast horses and quickly inform Lü Tianba.
In fact, Lü Tianba didn't escape very far; he just hid himself, since his roots were still in Fengyuan County.
Upon hearing Xiaoyue's words, the dealer's heart tightened. He hurriedly opened his mouth and spoke urgently.
"Miss Xiaoyue, please don't be so polite. My eldest son is a very loyal and affectionate person."
He will definitely be back within three days. I will send someone to inform the boss right away, so please don't worry.
You've all had a long and tiring journey. Why don't you go up to the attic and rest for a while? I'll go prepare some delicious food for you to help you relax."
Xiaoyue gently shook her head, a resolute glint in her eyes, and politely declined the croupier's offer.
"There's no need for you to go to such trouble. We won't go up. When Master Lü returns, you just need to inform us at the restaurant. There's no need for such a fuss."
After saying that, Xiaoyue and the others turned around and prepared to leave without hesitation.
As the dealer watched Xiaoyue and the others leave, he felt a mix of helplessness and reluctance. He wanted to try to persuade Xiaoyue to stay one more time and change her mind.
But Xiaoyue was determined to leave, and the dealer could only stand silently and watch them gradually disappear into the distance.
At this moment, the croupier immediately ordered his henchmen to mount the fast horse and gallop as fast as they could towards where Lü Tianba might be hiding, to quickly inform Lü Tianba of the news.
Actually, Lü Tianba didn't really escape very far; he was just temporarily hiding.
Because his roots are still deeply embedded in Fengyuan County, where there are people and things he can't let go of.
