Jun Lingyun clenched his fists. He had already raised enough disaster relief money for the people of Li City. These people could have survived this disaster safely.
But Jun Hongyan and the Minister of Household Affairs were greedy and daring, and they just watched helplessly as so many people died miserably because they could not get help.
Jun Lingyun did not expect that they would dare to seal the city and detain the officials sent by the court to supervise it. By the time they learned the news, Li City had already become a hell on earth.
Even if these common people really become wronged souls after death, wandering in this forest, who can blame them?
"Who?"
The white owl suddenly looked behind the tree in front of him.
"Come out! Don't act silly there!"
A dark figure ran away quickly. Two attendants immediately chased after him.
There was a bang, and Jun Lingyun frowned. He heard the two people reply.
"Master, there is a trap! Don't come here!"
"Come back!" Jun Lingyun ordered. He can be arrested slowly, but his people cannot be lost here.
The two of them walked out, patting the mud on their bodies bitterly, with some frustration on their faces.
"Master, our horse's leg is broken, and there is a rope in the grass."
If they hadn't been good at Qinggong, they would have broken their legs by now.
Jun Lingyun dismounted, picked up a few pebbles from the ground and threw them up and down.
After throwing it more than a dozen times, he suddenly looked sharply, and with the added internal force, the small stone flew out.
"Ah!" A scream came from someone who sounded young.
Jun Lingyun took the handkerchief handed over by the attendant and wiped his hands. Bai Xiao immediately flew over, restrained the man who was hit in the leg, and carried him back.
"Let me go, let me go."
They all thought that the person caught by Bai Xiao would be a rough guy who was robbing families and homes, but they didn't expect that the person who was struggling in Bai Xiao's hands at this time actually looked like a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, just a little unkempt.
"Why set a trap here to hurt people?"
Jun Lingyun asked.
The young man stubbornly turned his head away, as if he was looking forward to death.
"If you keep silent, I will make you mute forever."
Perhaps it was Jun Lingyun's voice that was so intimidating that the young man was really frightened.
"I, since I have been caught by you, I can be detained wherever you want. I don't know anything else."
Jun Lingyun looked at this young man, still childish, and turned off the air conditioner.
"I didn't see it, but you still have some backbone. You injured two of our horses. Have you figured out how to compensate us?"
The young man was stunned, "You, you didn't want to take me away?"
"Why should I take you away? You are a half-grown boy who wants to eat and drink for free with me. You have a good idea."
At this moment, seven or eight more black figures came running towards them. Just as the attendants were about to be alert, they saw clearly that those running towards them were actually children.
They ranged from six or seven years old to teenagers, all holding branches in their hands and stopped five meters away from them.
"Let us go, brother, or you won't blame us for being rude."
When the young man who was caught saw his companions coming to rescue him, he became even more anxious and shouted at them.
"Erhu, take the children and leave quickly. You can't beat them. Don't be stupid and run away."
Jun Lingyun looked at the teenagers who were not yet adults and called those younger than him children, which was a little funny.
But my heart can't help but feel sour. Children in troubled times can only survive by hugging each other for warmth. This is the sorrow of those in power.
"We're not leaving. If we have to leave, let's go together. Let's beat the bad guys away together!"
It is true that they are not afraid of tigers when they are just starting out. These children just held up the branches they picked up and rushed towards Jun Lingyun and others.
"Master, arrest or kill?"
Lao Shi wanted to scare these little guys who didn’t know how to live or die.
Jun Lingyun raised his hand to signal the attendants not to hurt these children.
Several children bared their teeth and claws, swung wildly, and were soon grabbed by the back of their necks and controlled.
The young man began to struggle vigorously.
"Let them go! They are still young. I pulled the rope and injured the horse. If you want to beat or kill them, they are coming at me. It has nothing to do with them."
"Wow~"
Lao Shi was holding the two youngest children in his hands. When the two children heard that they were about to be beaten or killed, they were really frightened and immediately burst into tears at the top of their lungs.
It was so exciting that Lao Shi felt like he was going deaf in both ears.
"You set up traps to hurt people first, and then attacked us later. How dare you cry?"
When he asked, the two children cried even harder, and some other children also started crying.
"Oh oh oh, I don't want to be locked up, I don't want to leave my mother's grave."
Listening to the cries of these children, Jun Lingyun felt a pain in his heart. It turned out that they were orphans. They were once the treasures in the hands of their parents, but now they have to live by pretending to be gods and ghosts, robbing families and homes.
"Whoever behaves well will be treated to meat. Children who cry will not get meat."
As soon as Jun Lingyun said these words, almost all the children stopped crying. Only a pair of bright eyes appeared on their dirty faces. They looked at Jun Lingyun who said this. Does he have food or meat?
Some children were already drooling. The boy asked warily:
"You don't want to poison us, do you?"
Jun Lingyun stretched out his hand, and Bai Xiao immediately threw the baggage on him over.
He took out the dried meat from the bag and held it in his hand, "Who wants to eat it?"
"I want it, I want it." The youngest child couldn't resist the temptation and stretched out his little hand.
Jun Lingyun handed the dried meat to the child's hand, and the other children also watched eagerly.
They listened to their elder brother. If he didn't say they could eat it, they wouldn't eat it. They just couldn't help but smack their lips.
"Don't eat the dog eggs, they will kill you." The young man shouted anxiously.
Jun Lingyun looked at him and asked:
"How do you know that I don't feel sorry for you and want to help you?"
"Hmph, you're just being courteous for nothing, you're either committing adultery or stealing. If you're really kind, just let us go."
The young man was so angry that he looked like a hen guarding her young.
"Hey, this kid has read a book and has some ink in his belly."
The waiter joked.
"Don't look down on others, my father is a teacher."
The young man first raised his head proudly, then his eyes turned red, and he turned to look at the large graveyard beside him.
Who can fail to understand at this moment that this young man's father is also buried in this dark forest.
Jun Lingyun found a big stone, and the attendant spread a neat cloth on it with a wink.
Jun Lingyun spread out the baggage in his hand, put it on it, picked up a piece of dried meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.
"If you want something to eat, just come and sit down and eat. Don't think about running away. We are not kind people."
When the young man saw that Jun Lingyun had eaten it himself, he blinked. Could it be that he had really blamed this person wrongly?
"I, I'm not afraid of death. I'll eat it first and let you see if it's poisonous."
The boy, whom the boy called Erhu, volunteered himself, and carrying his attendant, he carried him to Jun Lingyun and sat down next to him.
He secretly glanced at the expressionless Jun Lingyun, then tentatively stretched out his hand, took a piece of dried meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it vigorously.
The other children looked at him like this, drooling.
