Chapter 434 My Sister-in-Law Also Says That
e what would happen to such small children once they fell into the hands of human traffickers.I've heard that many wealthy families in some places have unusual fetishes, liking boys and girls. It's si...Zong Hu hesitated. Letting A Yu go after the bandits alone That was too dangerous.
He grabbed Zongyu's arm, "Wait, you don't know how many bandits there are. Going alone won't be enough."
"If you get hurt, how am I going to explain it to your younger siblings"
Zhong Yu just wanted to say no, his body was now uniquely altered by his wife's spirit spring water. His strength increased daily, and dealing with a group of bandits was child's play.
But Zong Hu didn't know. He still insisted, "Why don't we go into the city together first and report this to the county magistrate We can bring some yamen officers with us to deal with those bandits. There's safety in numbers."
Zong Yu shook his head, "It's too late, every moment we delay, Tie Zhu is in more danger."
"Uncle Wang entrusted him to me and Jinxiu for training. We can't let anything happen to this child."
"Big Brother Ah Hu, you quickly save Uncle Li first and take him to the clinic."
After finishing his words, Zong Yu got up and left. Zong Hu couldn't persuade him, so he could only pick up Li Muhai and enter the city first. He found a medical hall and finally saved his life.
The doctor said he had lost too much blood from his wound, and if he had come any later, even the great gods of heaven wouldn't have been able to save him.
Zong Hu thought about A Yu's safety constantly. Hearing that Li Mu Hai was unharmed, he turned and ran towards the county office.
Zong Yu chased after the bandits' trail all the way, following every clue they left behind. Finally, he found their hideout in a secluded mountain valley.
This hideout was chosen quite intelligently. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. He circled around, observing, and found that there was only one entrance and exit, with quite a few people guarding it on both sides.
To get in, you can only go through here. The other places are very difficult to enter.
Zong Yu frowned, it seemed he had underestimated this group of bandits.
If he openly barges in, this group of people definitely wouldn't be able to beat him. But what if he causes a commotion and the bandits choose to kill and run
After all, Tiezhu is still inside.
He cannot be impulsive.
After much deliberation, Zong Yu didn't act rashly. He guarded outside all night but couldn't come up with a suitable plan.
Zong Hu reported the case at the county office and stayed put, waiting for news from Ayu.
But he still didn't come back with Tiezhu, and as dawn approached, an entire night had passed without any news. Waiting like this made people anxious.
The magistrate seeing the situation said, "Those bandits outside the city are quite arrogant. Our county office has a limited number of officials, and several times we went to drive them away but saw little effect."
"Sorry, we can't offer Brother Zongyu much help either."
The other party was the county magistrate. Being able to speak so gently and patiently with him, a commoner from the mountains, showed that he was a man of good character. But Zong Hu still couldn't control his tone.
"Shouldn't the county magistrate be protecting the safety of the common people You can't handle this group of bandits, and you can't just let them run rampant either"
"My younger brother hasn't come back yet, if something happened to him, I..." Zong Hu was getting quite emotional.
The county magistrate nodded in understanding, "Of course, I don't hope anything bad happens to him either."
Though their social interactions may not be the smoothest, Zong Yu and Fang Jinxiu are a couple who clearly have a strong bond.
If something were to happen to him, Fang Jinshi would have no time left to worry about anything else. The well-being of the entire village under his jurisdiction, including those from Noma Village, would be heavily impacted.
"Although I can't solve the bandit problem, I can still help you find your mother's killer."
"The wife of Zongyu's, named Fang Jinshu, I think she is quite intelligent."
"Why don't we bring her here and see if we can come up with a solution"
Zong Hu turned his head away angrily. He wanted to glare at the county magistrate, but he didn't dare.
"My sister-in-law is very busy, she doesn't have time to run over here"
"Besides, that bandit's lair is such a dangerous place, why would you let her, a woman, come here If Ah Yu knew, he wouldn't be able to bear it."
What a terrible idea! What kind of county magistrate is this
"You just said you could help me find the killer of my mother, is that true"
The magistrate nodded. "Of course, it's true."
"Your mountain village is so secluded, with no outsiders usually coming in or out. Based on your report to the police, the murderer must still be within the village."
"Finding the killer is nothing but catching a turtle in a jar."
Zong Hu was astonished, his eyes widening. "You... your words are just like Jinxiu's! My sister-in-law said the same thing."I just wanted a place to live and survive. Now, I want to do everything I can to make sure everyone around me survives and thrives.Perhaps it was fate that led her here. This place is arid, yet she,...
