Chapter 922 Thank you, our lord
This family is a single generation of three generations, and the grandson is over two years old. It is the time when things are fun and people love him, so the family really takes the child very seriously and dotes on it.
With the intention of trusting him, he locked the child and his mother in the vegetable cellar.
Even so, the family couldn't sleep, staring at the rafters in the dark darkness. They knew that nothing would happen in the first half of the night, but the danger would be after midnight.
Because the boy and girl today have died, and it will be a new day after the child's death.
As the sound of the clock struck outside one after another, midnight came after a long period of suffering.
The whole family suddenly fell asleep. They picked up the shovels, kitchen knives, manure forks and other "weapons" they had on hand, went to the door, and looked out through the crack in the door.
Until the rooster crowed for the first time, no robbers were seen, and the whole family looked slightly relaxed.
Although the mountain gods may come during the day, the villagers will be safe if they can gather together during the day.
They didn't expect that if they were really mountain gods, their little thing would work? Just get together and it would work?
A fish-belly white color appeared in the east, and the rain became heavier. Everyone relaxed their vigilance, lifted the child and the child's mother out of the vegetable cellar, and went back to their houses to rest.
Because they had not slept all night and were highly nervous, the family soon fell into a deep sleep as soon as they relaxed.
No one heard someone falling lightly into their yard, and no one noticed that someone used a dagger to open the door bolt.
The door was pushed open, and a masked man in black walked into the room of the child's family of three.
The child slept between the two adults. The child's mother was worried about the child, so she protected the child with her arms during sleep.
The masked man in black grabbed the child by the collar, lifted the child up, and at the same time raised a dagger and stabbed the child in the chest.
The child was taken away and the mother of the child was awakened. The little woman suddenly opened her eyes and when she saw this scene, she let out a scream.
The child's father also woke up and sat up without opening his eyes.
The masked man in black made a move and continued stabbing with the dagger.
The child's father opened his eyes and instinctively rushed towards him, but was kicked away by the man in black.
They thought the child was dead this time, and the couple were in despair for a moment.
Unexpectedly, there was a "ding" sound, and something hit the man in black's dagger, causing a burst of sparks. Then the black shadow flashed, and the child was already in the hands of a fair and delicate little eunuch.
The man in black was startled and tried to rush out of the door, but was kicked back by Mo Xiang and fell to the ground at Mo Wen's feet.
Mo Wen held the child in his arms and raised his foot, kicking the man in black's chin off to prevent him from taking the poison.
At this moment, Mo thought of it and quickly tapped the man in black's acupuncture points.
The rest of the family heard the noise and ran in. Taking advantage of the daylight outside, they discovered what was going on inside the house. Their first reaction was to rush towards their grandson.
"Grandson!" The old lady hugged the child and cried.
The couple on the bed recovered from their shock and rushed towards the child, "My son!"
The fat boy opened his eyes, rubbed his eyes with his small fleshy hands in confusion, and shouted in a milky voice: "Grandma, mother, why are you gone?"
The movement was so loud that I didn't realize that I was going around in a circle of life and death.
Mo Wen smiled and said: "This boy is a lucky man, he woke up like this."
When the family saw that their child was fine, they cried with joy and knelt down to kowtow to Mo Wen and Mo Xiang, "Thank you two father-in-laws for saving their lives!"
Mo asked: "No need to thank us. If you want to thank us, just thank our prince!"
Mo Xiangye said: "Our prince sent people to protect several villages, so your children were spared."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" The family kowtowed in the direction of Prince Xuan's Mansion.
At this time, the surrounding neighbors heard the commotion, and the guy who took advantage of him with a kitchen knife broke in.
Mo Xiang coughed lightly and said, "The women should put on their clothes before coming out. The two of us are not men, so you don't have to mind."
At this time, the old lady and the young daughter-in-law realized that they were disheveled. Although they were wearing undergarments and underwear and nothing was exposed, it was extremely rude to see outsiders.
"Our prince was thoughtful and was afraid that we would encounter this situation late at night, so he asked us to come." Mo Wen said, mentioning the assassin, and left the room.
Everyone was even more grateful. The prince was so considerate and treated the poor people as human beings.
The father-in-law blushed and did not dare to look at his daughter-in-law, so he turned around and followed her out.
When the neighbors saw two eunuchs carrying a masked man in black clothes out of the house, they guessed it and started asking what had happened and whether the child was okay.
The old man explained excitedly to everyone, "Thieves came to my house to kill the children. Fortunately, King Xuan sent people to secretly protect us in the village! The two father-in-laws saved my grandson's life and also saved the lives of my whole family!"
The neighbors were very honest and they all breathed a sigh of relief and asked Mo Mo one after another, not wanting to thank Mo Mo.
Mo Wen pulled off the assassin's mask and said to everyone: "Everyone can see clearly, this is a human being, not some mountain god!"
Mo Xiang said: "The theory of ghosts and gods is completely false. Don't be deceived by those who are interested!"
The people all looked ashamed and said yes again and again.
Mo asked: "My prince suspects that the person behind this action does not want us to open the mountain to build terraces. There should be some secrets in the mountain. If you know anything, you are welcome to report it."
Everyone looked at each other, trying their best to remember something.
A young man said: "I actually encountered a ghost beating a wall on the hillside next to Lianshan Mountain. Does this count?"
Mo Wen's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Forget it! Forget it!"
The ghost hitting the wall may be because he has lost his way, or it may be because he has a formation.
Another daughter-in-law said: "I heard that several people encountered ghosts hitting the wall there. Later, some people said that there were mountain gods and monsters. Many people did not dare to approach the hillside."
This legend has existed for a long time, otherwise the people behind it would not directly blame the mountain god for being angry.
Mo Wen was about to learn more when he heard the sound of gongs beating outside.
Someone went out to inquire and found out that King Xuan's people also caught a man in a neighboring village who wanted to kill a child, and the child was a girl.
The head of the village beats the gong and invites everyone to go to the public trial.
The villages here are small, and one of the several villages is the longest.
Mo Wen and Mo Xiang happened to take this assassin with them, and met Zhui Feng, who had saved the girl, Zhu Yue.
Because children are usually carried by women, Zhuyue was called.
In fact, there is no need to interrogate, they already know that the people behind it are the Sun family, but they must give an explanation to the people and break this rumor, otherwise the terraces will not be opened and no one will do the work on the dock.
However, Mo Wen tried his best, but the two murderers refused to tell the truth. Instead, they insisted that they were people sent by King Xuan to confuse the public. What happened tonight was a play written and directed by King Xuan in order to deceive the people.
