After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

“Those bodies must have been buried in that big pit.”

Liu Erniu told Jia Zuo solemnly.

A was in deep thought.

No wonder he couldn't find where the body was hidden, it turned out to be in the salt field.

Jia decided to go to the back mountain to find out what was going on.

The two waited for a few days, and finally took advantage of the break in the officers' and soldiers' shifts today to sneak into the woods behind the mountain.

The sky is covered with thick clouds tonight, and not a ray of moonlight can penetrate.

Relying on his memory, Liu Erniu took Jia Zuo to search for the big pit in the dark.

As he was walking, Jiazuo suddenly felt something was wrong under his feet.

The soil in this place seems to be softer than the others.

Jiazu lifted his foot and carefully observed the ground beneath his feet.

Liu Erniu also recognized it at this time.

"Brother Li, this is it."

Liu Erniu lowered his voice and pointed to a large open space in front.

Jia Zuo looked up.

His good night vision allowed him to see clearly that the soil in this place had obviously been covered recently.

Jiazuo stood up, picked up the shovel he carried with him, and started digging on the spot.

The soil was not very compacted, and after A shoveled a few times, he felt something hit.

He put down the shovel, took out a lighter from his pocket and lit it.

When he took a closer look at the fire starter, he saw that what he had just dug out was a foot.

There was some shiny stuff on it.

It seems to be salt.

Suddenly seeing a foot, Liu Erniu was so scared that he sat down on the ground.

"Brother Li..."

A blows out the fire stick.

Pick up the shovel again and cover the exposed foot with soil.

He looked at the flat land in front of him.

It seems that the bodies were buried in the original big pit.

He took out a flare from his bosom and was about to pull the rope to send a signal, but then he suddenly withdrew his hand.

It’s not possible now. It’s late at night and the sound of the arrow fire is too loud, which will easily attract the attention of the guards outside.

By that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's men had not arrived yet, so they were arrested first.

We have to find a way to leave the salt field.

Liu Erniu watched Jia Zuo put the firecracker-like thing in his hand back into his arms.

"Brother Li, is there any problem?" Liu Erniu asked quietly.

"This will make a very loud noise when it is released, and we can't release it now, so I need to leave the salt field." Jiazuo gave a rare explanation.

Liu Erniu thought about it.

"Can we release it as long as we leave the salt field?" Liu Erniu asked.

"It's better to go west."

Deguang County is on the west side of Yangping County, and the closer to Deguang County, the better.

"Brother Li, give the things to me. I have a way."

Liu Erniu stretched out his hand.

Jiazu looked at Erniu in confusion.

"Brother Li, give me the things. I'll help you put them outside tomorrow." Liu Erniu said.

Kazuki's face darkened, "No, you can't take risks on this matter."

"Brother Li, I know you are here to rescue the people of Yangping County."

"Time waits for no one. I don't know when they will dispose of these bodies. Three generations of my family have been in the salt field. Only if I go out will those soldiers not become suspicious."

"Besides, you are very skilled in martial arts. If I fail, you can still protect my grandfather and the others."

"Consider it my way of repaying you for saving my life that day."

"Brother Li, I really don't want my father to die in vain..."

Liu Erniu said this and lowered his head silently.

Then he immediately raised his head and looked at Jia Zuo firmly.

"Brother Li, please trust me just once!"

Seeing Liu Erniu's firm attitude, Jiazuo began to waver.

After thinking for a long time, he took out the flare from his arms and handed it to Liu Erniu.

"Remember, no matter what, you can't get into trouble. If you are in danger, protect yourself immediately. Do you understand?"

Jia Zuo looked deeply at Liu Erniu.

Liu Erniu took the flare and grinned.

"Don't worry, Brother Li."

Dark clouds rolled all night, the air became increasingly gloomy, but not a drop of rain fell from the sky.

It was clearly sunrise, but the sunlight was nowhere to be seen and the early morning seemed as dark as night.

The two officers at the salt field looked at the weather.

"I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily today."

"Yes, the work can't be done. We have to make them cover the salt in the field."

As the two were discussing, an officer came running over.

"Oh no! The little boy from the Liu family is vomiting blood."

"You guys go check it out!"

The two officers were startled and quickly followed the officer to the salt workers' housing.

As soon as the three of them entered the door, they saw that the salt workers' large bunk beds were surrounded by people.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way, everyone!"

The three of them squeezed in and saw that Liu Erniu's mattress was covered in blood and there was a large pool of blood on the ground.

Grandpa Liu held him in his arms and sat on the bed, crying.

"My poor child! What a punishment you have suffered!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Erniu spat out another mouthful of blood with a "wow".

The blood fell to the ground and splattered on the shoes of the three officers and soldiers.

The three of them quickly took a step back.

"What is going on?!" an officer asked sternly.

"I don't know. Erniu was complaining of stomachache last night. I thought he had an upset stomach. But he became like this when he got up just now." said a salt worker who lived in the same room with Liu Erniu.

The officers and soldiers frowned tightly.

Grandpa Liu was still crying.

Liu Erniu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Grandpa Liu.

"Grandpa...I don't want to die..."

"Okay, Erniu, live well. Grandpa won't let you die."

After Grandpa Liu finished speaking, he put Liu Erniu down and knelt down in front of the three soldiers with a plop.

"Sir, please, please let my grandson go out for treatment!"

"He is the only child of our Liu family. I cannot let an old man like me send him off when he is young!"

Grandpa Liu burst into tears.

The salt workers present felt very sorry when they saw this.

They were all aware of the Liu family's situation; these two grandparents and grandchildren were truly pitiful.

Suddenly, a salt worker who lived in the same room knelt down.

"Sir, the Liu family has always been loyal to the salt field. Please send Erniu out for treatment for the sake of our past friendship!"

When he knelt, others also knelt down to beg for mercy.

The three officials looked at each other.

After a long while, an official spoke up:

"I can send him out for treatment, but you have to pay for the medicine. If he can't be saved, it has nothing to do with the salt field. It's his own problem."

Who knows whether the grandfather and grandson will rely on the three of them.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

Grandpa Liu kowtowed repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, let's get him out first."

The officer found a cart, and two salt workers carefully lifted Liu Erniu from the couch and put him on the cart.

He casually pointed at a salt worker pulling a cart, and another soldier followed closely.

"Go away, go away. We have to go back to work soon." The two soldiers evacuated the crowd.

Jiazuo walked to the bedside, reached out to wipe a little of the blood Liu Erniu had vomited, and put it to his nose to smell it.

He looked solemnly in the direction where Liu Erniu left.

Who would have thought that Liu Erniu had stolen a chicken from the kitchen last night and bled it, in order to stage a self-torture trick.
