After the system ran, I took off with my family

"Uncle, have all the villagers gone out to sea?" Lin Shuyue asked, changing the subject.

Old Liu sighed and said in a muffled voice: "Yes, he went out to sea."

After saying that, he turned to look at Lin Shuyue, "Girl, where are you from? Why are you here?"

Lin Shuyue's eyes rolled and she said cheerfully, "I came to Wanhe County to send my eldest brother to the Zhenhai Division, but the main reason is that I want to see the sea and taste the seafood here."

Old man Liu was a little surprised, and then murmured: "Zhenhai Division..."

"Old man, I heard the innkeeper yesterday say that there were people from overseas who looked strange and couldn't speak the language who came to our place. Have you seen them?"

Lin Shuyue's clear eyes were filled with curiosity.

Old Man Liu looked at this clever little girl and became interested in talking. He looked at the sea and recalled: "Thirty years ago, my Haiwa was only two years old.

That day, I took him to the county town to buy things, and we met two tall, yellow-haired, green-eyed people from overseas who asked us for directions.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t understand a word they said, so I could only use gestures. My little Haiwazi was so scared that he started crying.”

Old man Liu's old face unconsciously revealed a smile, but then he remembered something and his expression dimmed.

Lin Shuyue looked at Old Man Liu and felt sad, but she didn't know how to comfort him.

After a long silence, Old Man Liu suddenly had hatred in his eyes and said through gritted teeth, "I have also seen another group of foreigners. No, they cannot be called human beings, they should be called beasts."

“The disaster that occurred ten years ago was not caused by pirates in the nearby waters, but by a group of evil thieves who appeared out of nowhere.

They are all short and ugly, but they are extremely cruel and brutal, they speak incoherently, and the clothes they wear are different from those of the people in our Great Zhou Dynasty."

Lin Shuyue looked at him in shock and asked hurriedly, "Didn't anyone know at the time that those people were foreign barbarians?"

Old Liu shook his head, "By the time the Zhenhai Division arrived, the pirates had already retreated.

Most of us who survived were elderly people who were hidden by our children. We were all so frightened that we didn’t notice these things. I only noticed the abnormality after I calmed down and recalled it.”

"Later, I told the officers and soldiers of the Zhenhai Division about my discovery, but they didn't believe me at all.

The surviving villagers also thought that I was having hallucinations because I couldn't accept the death of my family.

After that, this matter has been weighing on my mind, and I will remember the appearance of the beast who killed my son until I die. "

Old man Liu became more and more excited as he spoke, and his body became a little unsteady.

Lin Shuyue quickly supported him and comforted him, "Old man, don't get excited. Those beasts will get their retribution. You need to take good care of yourself before you can see their end."

Old Man Liu sighed, broke free from Lin Shuyue's hand, turned around and slowly walked towards the village.

Lin Shuyue looked at his back which exuded sadness and felt a little depressed. More and more news confirmed her guess and she had to go back to Zhenhai Division again.

After leaving Da Liu Village, Lin Shuyue rushed to Zhenhaisi with two maids. Perhaps Xiao Zhennian had given instructions, so this time the guards took her directly to find Xiao Zhennian.

In the dungeon, Xiao Zhennian was somewhat puzzled when he heard the soldier's report. However, looking at the wounded but silent Shopkeeper Gao hanging on the wall, he pondered for a moment and ordered, "Go and invite Miss Lin over."

Half a cup of tea later, Lin Shuyue came to the cell under the guidance of the soldiers.

"Ayue, is there something wrong?" Xiao Zhennian stopped her from kneeling and asked in confusion.

Lin Shuyue nodded and said in a serious tone: "Uncle Nian, do you still remember Da Liu Village?"

"Da Liu Village?" Xiao Zhennian frowned and thought for a moment, "Is it the fishing village that was attacked by pirates ten years ago?"

"Yes, that's the village." Lin Shuyue stared at Manager Gao hanging on the wall and said coldly, "Uncle Nian, the disaster in Da Liu Village was not caused by pirates at all, but by a group of evil foreign barbarians."

"What? Foreign barbarians?" Xiao Zhennian looked at Lin Shuyue in astonishment, and Han Guang beside him was also unbelievable for a moment.

Lin Shuyue's eyes never left Shopkeeper Gao's face. She clearly saw the shocked and somewhat flustered look in Shopkeeper Gao's eyes.

"Uncle Nian, I wanted to visit a few small fishing villages today, and I happened to walk to Da Liu Village, where I met an old man. That old man was the survivor from ten years ago."

Lin Shuyue explained seriously, “The old man said that he saw with his own eyes those thieves speaking in a language that was completely incomprehensible.

They are short and ugly, and the clothes they wear are different from those of the people of our Great Zhou Dynasty. They are also extremely ruthless in their attacks.”

Xiao Zhennian's expression became more and more solemn. He looked at Lin Shuyue and said in a deep voice: "Ten years ago, I hadn't come to Zhenhai Division yet. I only read the old case files, which only recorded that pirates attacked Daliu Village ten years ago, and countless villagers were killed and injured.

If what the old man said is true, and we have no grudges against them, why would those foreign barbarians attack the fishing village? "

Lin Shuyue understood his doubts. She stared at Manager Gao and said coldly, "Perhaps those people are evil and mean-spirited in their bones, and like to stare at other people's good things like a vicious dog.

No, using a dog as a metaphor is probably an insult to the dog, right, Manager Gao? "

Xiao Zhennian and Han Guang were a little surprised when they heard her words. They followed her gaze and saw that Manager Gao's originally expressionless face was now full of anger, and his pair of scarlet eyes were staring at Lin Shuyue.

Xiao Zhennian and Han Guang looked at each other and immediately had a guess in their minds.

Lin Shuyue looked at Manager Gao calmly, "Manager Gao, you should have participated in the attack on Da Liu Village ten years ago, right? Do you still want to hide it now?"

Manager Gao stared at Lin Shuyue with his sinister eyes for a moment, and then smiled softly, "Oh, little girl, you are really smart, and I like you very much. If I have the chance to return to my country, I will definitely take you away."

"How dare you!" Xiao Zhennian was filled with murderous intent, staring at Manager Gao with sharp eyes.

Lin Shuyue was not angry, she just looked at Manager Gao quietly, "Manager Gao, it's pointless to keep pretending, you should just tell the truth.

What is your purpose in lurking in the Great Zhou Dynasty? Who in the court is in collusion with you?"

Shopkeeper Gao stared at Lin Shuyue and sneered, "Aren't you very smart? Guess?"

Seeing his fearless attitude, Han Guang became furious. He picked up a whip on the wall and hit him hard.

Shopkeeper Gao snorted, but looked at Lin Shuyue provocatively, "You can kill me or rob me as you like, but don't even think about getting any useful information from me."

Lin Shuyue frowned, she didn't expect this man to be so tight-lipped.
