Chapter 386

Yes, Li Jinfeng was speechless. The government that he had high hopes for had given him the most disappointing answer. What else could he say?

"But," Li Yinfeng's lips were still trembling slightly, "But, to burn that person to death, it's really …"

"Cruel!" Liu Kai added.

Seeing that the younger generation in the hall were all discussing, the four old men sitting at the head of the table were silent. Zhang Cai was a little better. Although he was older, he only lived in Guozhuang House. The hatred of the villagers was all in the open. Most of them were rumors and gossip. It was rare for someone to actually do something like this. He had also never seen so many people vent their anger on one person and burn him to death. For a moment, he was not used to it.

Old Shopkeeper Li and Old Shopkeeper Yu were not the same. They lived in Lu Town and had seen many petty thieves. In their business dealings, it was not uncommon to see despicable methods. Especially last time, when Old Shopkeeper Li's family was almost wiped out by the mountain bandits, his mentality had already changed slightly. Towards such evildoers, they were afraid that they would not be able to get rid of them completely. Old Shopkeeper Yu was the same. Of course, even if the two of them wanted the black-clothed man to receive the punishment he deserved, they had never thought that it would end like this today.

However, they had forgotten what this "deserved punishment" actually was.

The two of them looked at Zhang Cai's expression and were about to speak when they heard Zhang Xiaohua cough and clear his throat, as if he wanted to speak. Thus, the two of them immediately looked at each other and then at Zhang Xiaohua.

In fact, the young man in front of them was the main character of tonight. They knew very well that if Zhang Xiaohua did not use the excuse of going to the toilet to escape and capture the black-clothed man from afar, how could there be a family reunion and a follow-up story?

However, since Zhang Xiaohua did not explicitly say that he was the one who captured the black-clothed man, even if they asked now, Zhang Xiaohua might not admit it.

Everyone in the hall had the same thought, so when they heard Zhang Xiaohua cough, they immediately quieted down. They all looked at him with longing eyes, wanting to know what this expert wanted to say.

Zhang Xiaohua cleared her throat and said, "Daddy, I'll sleep with you later. You don't have to worry about me after you put me on the kang."

Clang! Clang! Clang! Some of them fell to the ground, and some of them dropped their teacups. No one had thought that Zhang Xiaohua would say something like that.

Zhang Xiaohua looked innocently at the people who were shocked by her and said with a smile, "Actually, I know that everyone is shocked by the fate of the man in black tonight. But if you think about it carefully, you might be able to find a reasonable explanation."

"Xiaohua, don't talk nonsense. Everyone here is older than you. Who doesn't have as much experience as you? Who is it your turn to speak?"

If it was martial arts, Zhang Cai would not object. But when he saw that Zhang Xiaohua wanted to speak frankly, he felt that his son was exaggerating. Who in front of him wasn't a learned person?

Only he and his son came from the countryside. If they didn't speak well, wouldn't they be laughed at?

At this time, Mr. Liu, who had been silent for a long time, waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhang, age has always been the appearance. If we talk about experience, everyone may not have the experience that Xiaohua has. At such a young age, she entered the Jianghu that we have never entered. Now it has been six years. I think she must have a lot of feelings. Share it with us so that we won't be suspicious of her."

Li Jinfeng also said with a smile, "Xiaohua, just say it. Uncle is just protecting you. I'm afraid you'll mess it up."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Zhang Cai and saw that he didn't have any expression. Then she said, "I'm just expressing my feelings. If it's not good, please add on."

"Actually, in the end, it's still human nature.

Didn't you see when the black-clothed man just woke up? Everyone was so scared that they hid far away. Although the black-clothed man kidnapped Zaizai, no one went forward. Until Zaizai's father went forward as if he didn't care about his life, but the black-clothed man wasn't as powerful as they thought. He killed the man with a knife. Then, when the black-clothed man left Zaizai and wanted to rush out with a knife, everyone was afraid of implicating themselves, so they all moved aside.

If you want to talk about power, it's still the leader. If he didn't stand up at that time, the black-clothed man would probably have run away. "

"Would you have let him run away?" Yu Bihe asked softly.

"Who knows?

Anyway, it didn't happen. It's hard to say. "

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Yu Bihe and said in a mysterious tone.

Yu Bihe's face was slightly red.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I think that at that time, it was that person who threw the lantern at the black-clothed man. The black-clothed man actually didn't have the strength to fight back. When everyone saw how the black-clothed man was beaten up, they knew that they didn't have any qualms about their own safety. That's why they all surrounded him, wanting to experience the pleasure of bullying the strong. They all threw the lanterns in their hands."

"But, the black-clothed man is a martial arts expert. Why didn't he have the strength to fight back?"

Yu Bihe seemed to be a curious baby and continued to ask.

"Haha, this is the punishment of the heavens!"

Zhang Xiaohua said decisively.

Mister Liu said thoughtfully, "If that's the case, Little Blossom, what you're saying is that everyone isn't acting bravely for a just cause and stepping forward bravely. Instead, they're using the attitude of a strong person to wreak havoc on the mentality of the weak?"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "That's right. Mr Liu, it's because you can get the pleasure from bullying the powerless strong that you didn't have before. Or maybe it's because you were bullied by the strong in the past. Today, you treated the black-clothed man as an illusion and did such a shocking action."

"Of course, it's also because of Zai Zai's experience that made people angry. That's why ….."

As she said that, Zhang Xiaohua's voice became softer and softer. Then she sat there and didn't say anything else.

Seeing that everyone in the hall had a serious expression, frowning and thinking while waiting for Zhang Xiaohua to speak, Zhang Cai awkwardly coughed and said, "That ….. Xiaohua is a bit tired and has already fallen asleep. Let's stop here tonight. Cough, cough."

At this time, Mr Liu suddenly understood and said with a smile, "Hehe, five years ago, I saw Xiaohua sleeping soundly. Today, I saw it again. Liu Kai, you and Jin Feng, send Xiaohua to the guest room."

The others who didn't know what was going on all sighed in their hearts, "Strange people, no wonder they reserved a place to sleep before talking. Sure enough ….."

However, Mr Liu's arrangement was a waste. Zhang Xiaohua's body was very light. Although she was already eighteen years old and taller than Liu Kai, Liu Kai could carry her on his shoulder without any effort.

Liu Kai wasn't too surprised. He had already heard Liu Qian muttering about it. Only Li Jinfeng was surprised when he heard it. He didn't think that his younger sister's husband had such a good physique. It seemed like his younger sister was blessed.

It was already past midnight. Although everyone didn't feel sleepy, they still needed to rest. As for who could sleep, only each person knew.

The next day, it was already the sixteenth of the first month. Since they had already seen the lanterns, Lu Town didn't have anything to miss. Zhang Xiaohua followed her father, Mr Liu, and the others to buy some things on the streets of Lu Town. They brought some gifts back to the Guozhuang House.

However, when they were shopping, Zhang Cai was a little reluctant. From time to time, he would whisper to Zhang Xiaohua, "It's just the New Year. Since the New Year has already passed, don't waste any more money. The family doesn't have much income and the money is used up. Seeing that Jian 'er is already born, raising a child in this era is very tiring. He still has to go to school in the future, so it's better to use the money in the right way. Some things are better bought at the Guozhuang House."

Zhang Xiaohua naturally understood her father's feelings and didn't say much. She just followed Zhang Cai's wishes and bought some things. Mr Liu was a little better. It was obvious that the in-laws didn't buy much and she couldn't steal the limelight too much. In the end, everyone also bought some gifts for Jian 'er. It was far from the extravagant shopping scene that Zhang Xiaohua had imagined.

When they returned to the Guozhuang House, everything in the house was the same as before.

However, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't follow them as usual. There were still two little girls in Ping Yang City who needed her to send them back to Carefree City. Moreover, her second brother, Zhang Xiaohu, whose whereabouts were unknown. If she couldn't find out where her second brother was, her cultivation would be in vain.

After lunch, Zhang Xiaohua first stayed in front of her grandmother's grave for a while. Then, she went to the bamboo forest behind her small courtyard. She roughly looked around and then returned to the central room.

At this time, Mr Liu had already returned to his own house to rest. Only Zhang Cai was dozing off in the central room. Zhang Xiaohua smiled and didn't disturb him. She went out and called her eldest brother, Zhang Cai, over. Then, she woke Zhang Cai up.

Zhang Cai asked sleepily, "Is there anything?

Xiaolong. "

Zhang Xiaolong spread out his hands and said, "Father, Xiaohua asked me to come."

Zhang Xiaohua said mysteriously, "Father, do you think we have enough money now?"

Zhang Cai frowned and said, "We have enough. What's wrong?

Xiaohua, is it because you didn't have anything in town this morning and are too embarrassed to ask? "

"No, father. What can I buy?

It's just that when you bought something in the morning, I felt a little distressed. "

Zhang Xiaolong next to her said with some shame, "Xiaohua, it's all your eldest brother's fault. I don't know how to make a living. I can only dig for food in the soil. These few years, we relied on the banknotes you brought back to renovate the small courtyard and build another one next to it. Father must be worried that the banknotes aren't enough. That's why you can't bear to part with them. Moreover, the banknotes are still left for …"

He seemed to be unable to say the rest of his words.

Zhang Xiaohua listened and said with a smile, "Look at what you're saying, eldest brother. I brought the banknotes back for the family to spend. When I find second brother, naturally, there will be a share for him."

Then, she stretched out her hand and hooked her index finger and said, "Father, eldest brother, come. I'll show you something good."

After that, she walked out of the central room.

Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaolong were confused. It wasn't that they didn't think that Zhang Xiaohua was looking for those banknotes, but these banknotes seemed to be, should be looked at in the room. Why did she run out to show off?

Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua actually picked up a hoe from the wall. En, she also let Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaolong each take one.

This, what is she trying to do?
