After He Liangchang [reported] his son-in-law's identity to Xu He, he did not continue to toss Xu He.

He just ordered someone to tie up Xu He and go with Lu Heng and the others.

Over the next two days, the floodwaters gradually receded.

The torrential rain that has been pouring down is slowly becoming smaller.

Seeing that the flood water receded little by little, and the house gradually revealed the water, but at this time, Xu He, Lu Heng, and Granny Liu were not happy at all.

It's not because of the torture of He Liangchang and others, but in the past two days, they have not eaten a grain of rice, and if it hadn't rained and drunk some rain, the three of them would have died a long time ago.

But even so, the three of them at this time were described as haggard, so hungry that they had no strength to speak.

Finally, on the third day of drizzling rain in the sky, the flood waters completely subsided, revealing the earth covered in mud.

Before that, the crowd had already been removed from the roof.

When the flood receded, Chief He was busy packing up his residence, so he tied the three of them to a wing room in the inner courtyard, and sent the big man who rescued Xu He to the roof to guard him outside.

The big man threw the three of them into the room, then brought three bowls of gruel, and then untied them one by one, and stared at the three of them with a knife and ate them one by one.

When the three of them had finished eating one by one, they tied them up one by one, and then went out and stood guard at the door.

At this time, Xu He saw that there was no one in the house, struggled a few times, and found that the rope was tied very tightly, and there was no chance to escape, so he died and turned his head to ask Granny Liu: "Mother-in-law, where is your little grandson?" ”

Who knew that it was okay not to ask, but when she asked, Granny Liu cried loudly.

At this moment, the door was opened by the big man, and the big man glared at Granny Liu fiercely and said, "Dead old woman, if you want to cry again, I will throw you into the lake immediately!" ”

Granny Liu immediately stopped her voice when she heard this, but her face was full of tears, and she couldn't stop it.

Seeing this, the big man glanced at the three of them coldly, then turned around and closed the door again.

After he left, Granny Liu sobbed and whispered what happened.

It turned out that on the night when Xu He and the others left, He Liangchang tangled up a group of He family members, came to beat Granny Liu, and then snatched the silver left by Xu He and them.

In the end, they took their mother-in-law and grandson to the He family, which is the courtyard where they are now.

He Liangchang said that he would wait until tomorrow to make Granny Liu look good in front of the farmers.

When Lu Heng heard this, he hated and said, "Is it because of us that day?" ”

Granny Liu nodded heartbrokenly.

Seeing this, Lu Heng scolded: "These bastards, no, they can't die well!" ”

Xu He then asked, "And then?" ”

Granny Liu wiped her tears and continued: "My grandson and I thought that tomorrow it would be a big deal to be beaten by the He family, who knew that there was a big flood that night, but fortunately, the He family knew that our grandchildren would not run, so they didn't care about us, I took my grandson to climb high, who knew that it was almost to the roof, my grandson ......"

Granny Liu couldn't talk anymore at this point, she just forced her voice, cried muffledly, and beat her thin chest.

When Xu He and Lu Heng heard this, they knew that the little guy who was dragging his nose and made an agreement with Li Sikui and Zhang Sanrang that he would play together next time should already be more auspicious.

Granny Liu tilted her head upward, tears rolled down one by one, and finally choked up: "The dog was holding on to the eaves before falling into the water, but they pulled the old body and didn't save the old body!" ”

Lu Heng scolded: "Why? Are these people hard-hearted? ”

Xu He said with a cold face: "Because they are afraid of death!" ”

The tiled houses in the south of the Yangtze River are generally resting on the top of the mountain, and the tiles are spread on the slope layer by layer, and the grandson of Granny Liu is holding the eaves.

But this is a living life, and so many big men on the roof watched him being swept away and swallowed up by the flood.

Just like Lu Heng said, are they hard-hearted?

At this time, there were only three people in the house, only Granny Liu sobbed quietly, Xu He and Lu Heng were immersed in shock, especially Lu Heng, in her previous life, she had never thought that this world would be so sinister.

A grain chief who was originally inferior to an ant in her eyes turned out to be ruthless.

Just when the three of them were so depressed by the pain that they couldn't breathe, suddenly He Liangchang hurriedly pushed the door in.

He was followed by the big man who was guarding the doorway.

As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but say, he directly stuffed the big man with a rag ball, and then took the rest of the cloth ball in his hand and stuffed it into Xu He's mouth at once.

Then, he did the same, and stuffed the cloth ball into Lu Heng's mouth.

At this time, the big man also gagged Granny Liu's mouth.

After doing all this, he glanced at the big man and hurried out of the room again.

After he left, Dahan didn't say a word, directly lifted the bamboo bed in the house, and then groped on the brick wall for a while, Xu He was surprised to find that after a small piece of brick was removed from the wall, a mezzanine appeared behind the wall.

Seeing Xu He's eyes widen with an expression of disbelief, Dahan smiled hesitantly: "Boy, haven't you seen it?" Our He family is a hereditary grain chief, a well-known family in ten miles and eight townships, do you think that for so many years, the thieves have come, how can we hide people and hide food! ”

Xu He suddenly understood when he heard this.

It's normal for a large family to have a sandwich wall, and when you encounter soldiers, bandits, and harbor a fugitive......

Thinking of this, Xu He suddenly turned his head to look outside the house.

Seeing this, the big man smiled and said, "Yo, you kid is quite smart, you know that someone is coming to save you?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't give the three of them a chance to struggle, and shoved the three of them into the hole one after another.

After the three of them entered, he picked up bricks to seal the hole, and finally put it on the bamboo bed.

At this time, if Xu He was still outside, he would find that there was no trace of them in the house.

Xu He, who was stuffed into the wall, found that it was dark in the wall, and he could only hear the voice of Lu Heng beside him.

He tried to grope for Lu Heng's tied hands beside him in the dark, thinking of taking this opportunity to untie the rope.

But when he had just groped for Lu Heng in the dark, the woman next to him made a frightened "uh-huh" sound with her nose.

"Well, in the wrong place!" Xu He, who was in the dark, quickly retracted his hand.

But after a while, his fingers touched Lu Heng's hand, and it turned out that this woman realized her thoughts.

Xu He endured the discomfort of being tied back, and used his fingers to find the knot little by little.

Finally touched the knot, Xu He was overjoyed in the dark, and hurriedly tried to untie Lu Heng.

Just then, suddenly, they heard movement outside.

Then, a voice came in faintly: "Wu Decao, are you sure that Xiaohe had a conflict with the owner of this house yesterday?" ”

When Xu He heard this movement, he immediately moved his body vigorously, and even knocked his head and knee against the wall, it was Xue Yongzhi, it was Xue Yongzhi who searched for it!

Xu He knew that they would definitely search and rescue as soon as the water receded, but he didn't expect to arrive so soon.
