"Well said," Su Shichang patted his thigh again, "It's a pity that the eldest brother didn't understand these truths at that time, he insisted on going his own way, we quarreled a few times, and the trouble was so red that the neck was thick, but it didn't help." He finally took the picture and moved out of the village, of course I couldn't really let him go out of the house, and gave him all the savings of the family, and he built a house outside the village, so the Osmanthus Villa has since become two villages, one large and one small. A stream of water cuts off the brotherhood. ”

"Uncle," said the boy, "when we get Daddy out, let's move back." ”

"Silly boy, it's not necessary to move back, the main thing is to take back your heart, and stop dreaming of making a fortune. If you can make a fortune by relying on that map, your grandfather, grandfather's grandfather, how many generations have you passed it on, why haven't you made a fortune by relying on it? Wu Laonong took down the cigarette pouch, laughed, and said slowly.

"That's right, little boy," Shi Suo listened to Wu Laonong's reasonableness, and echoed casually: "Think about it, since that picture has aroused the idea of greedy for money, it has caused your family to split and have disputes, but I am afraid that Ling Haibo is also because of his desire to see money, so he has a black hand on you." Because of this picture, it is not certain whether you will get rich or not, but your life may not be saved. ”

"Hmph, Ling Haibo, maybe he came here for this picture. That time, our brothers were infighting, and the city was full of storms, and some shameless people came over when they heard the news, intending to steal property, and this kind of thing is less? ”

Xiao Guo noticed that when Su Shichang said this, Gu Zilong's face was embarrassed again, and he quietly turned his head.

After lunch, Su Shichang gathered more than 100 young and strong peasants in the village, carrying knives and spears and weapons, to kill the small village. Xiao Wu also led two big dogs, he said: "To deal with people surnamed Ling, sometimes dogs are more useful than people." ”

Seven or eight people, including Shi Suo, Da Gang and Li Carpenter, prepared to quietly climb over the wall from the back of the village and start a flank attack with the team in front.

Xiao Tong followed Su Shichang to the front of the team, he was both excited and anxious, and he couldn't wait to rush home. The two villages are separated by a small stream, and they will be there in a short time.

Walking through the osmanthus grove outside the village, the gate on the fence is closed, and there is silence inside and out. But this time there were many people, and they were no longer afraid of any ambush inside, Xiao Guo walked up and stretched out his hand to push the door, the door opened in response to his hand, and it was concealed, he said to Su Shichang: "It's still like this, when we came in the morning, it was like this, no one inside could be seen, the door was not closed, and there was an empty city plan." ”

Walking into the courtyard, there are no traces of people in the houses, in front of the house and behind the house, on the side of the road, there is quiet. Xiao Tong said to Su Shichang: "They are playing this trick again, and no one outside can see it, and when you disperse the people, they will be lost one by one." ”

"Don't be afraid, there are so many of us this time, they can't catch them." Su Shichang led everyone to the front of the hall, Gu Zilong hid behind Su Shichang and said: "It's dangerous here, as long as people go in, they can't get out." ”

Su Shichang snorted, "I don't believe in this evil, Xiao Wu, let the dog in first." ”

Xiao Wu let go of a big dog, the dog ran up the steps, went straight to the hall, everyone waited for a while, the dog came out again, wagged its tail, looked calm, and seemed to be safe.

Su Shichang waved his hand, everyone flocked in, entered the hall and took a look, it was empty, there was no figure, all corners were searched, the tables, chairs and furniture were neatly placed, not even a stool was overturned, the window was bright and clean, and there was nothing abnormal.

Gu Zilong scratched his head, "It's weird, it's like a trap here in the morning, whoever comes in can't get out again, what's going on." ”

Out of the hall, everyone searched all the way, and all the rooms were empty, until they walked to the back of the manor, but they ran into Shi Suo and Li Carpenter and others.

It turned out that the stone lock all the way, around the back of the manor, jumped over the wall, and the road was also smooth, and the originally planned "sneak attack" was useless at all, because even if it came in openly, no one would stop it. They looked for a few rooms, but they were all empty, and after walking for a while, they met with Su Shichang and the others.

Xiao Tong was in a hurry, he ran around, searched in his parents' room, his own room, and the room of Ling Haibo and others, but there was still no one. In several rooms, weapons, ballistas, wooden crossbows, etc., were still placed, but there were no human figures.

In the morning, although I didn't see the face of the enemy head-on, after all, there was still a battle, and so many people were lost, and I saw the shadow of the enemy, but now, I can't even see the shadow. The amazement in everyone's hearts is indescribable, could it be that after eating a meal, all the people in the manor disappeared out of thin air?

"Wang, Wang," Xiao Wu's big dog barked suddenly, and ran towards the corner of the manor.

Everyone agreed, followed the big dog, ran up, and ran to a few simple tiled houses in the corner, Shi Suo asked Su Xiaotong: "What is that place?" ”

"Granary."

Xiao Tong and Shi Suo ran in front, only to see the big dog barking and jumping outside the granary, everyone guessed that there must be something suspicious inside, Su Shichang waved his hand, everyone surrounded the granary, Shi Suo and Xiao Wu took the lead in running to the door and kicked open the door.

In the granary, there were piles of grain bags and grain hoards, and an unpleasant smell went straight to the nostrils, in addition to the smell of rice bran, there was also a smell of blood.

"There are people here," Xiao Wu shouted.

A big grain hoard, a few human legs were exposed behind it, Shi Suo and everyone bypassed the grain hoard, only to see a bunch of people lying on the ground horizontally, with ropes tied to their arms, unconscious, and some of them were wearing colorful costumes, which were Gu Zilong's subordinates. There were several people, as if they had been tortured, with wounds on their bodies and faces, blood flowing down, staining their clothes red, and the stuffiness in the granary, and the swarm of flies that they had attracted made people sick.

Xiao Tong ran over, one by one to look for it, he found Fan Ye, Lao Bai and others, those congregations who came back from Changsha, except for Fu Heizi, including Black Spider, Lao Cai and others, and then found his mother, family, and even servants and servants, all huddled together in the corner of the granary, trying to snort, but they all had breath, but they were like they were asleep, and they couldn't wake up.

Su Shichang commanded everyone, untied the ropes of the people in the granary, carried them outside, Shi Suo carefully observed, according to the medical theory he had learned, judged that these people should be poisoned or anesthetic, it was not difficult to understand, so he asked people to call cold water and asked Xiao Tong: "Is there licorice at home?" ”

Xiao Tong shook his head, he looked anxious, and he didn't care about what "licorice", because after looking for a long time, his father Su Shilong and his master Tan Heng have not been able to find it, Xiao Tong sweated on his head, and said to Su Shichang: "Second uncle, my father won't let people kill him, right?"
