The sound of the rain became louder, and the sound of the rainwater hitting the ground was cold and continuous, like countless gloating mouths laughing at the ruthlessness of the world.

Lu Dongqing hid at the end of the alley and witnessed the scene at the back door of the tavern. His heart seemed to be drenched by cold rain, and his shock and anger climbed to the extreme.

He had completely put the matter of Mrs. Qi's betrayal behind him, he just gritted his teeth and said: "How could they bully a woman like this!"

His fingers clenched tightly on the handle of the umbrella, rattling.

If it weren't for his shoulder being firmly pressed by the master, he might have rushed out at this moment.

Lu Zhengqiu looked serious, but the strength in his hands did not decrease at all.He leaned close to Dongqing's ear, and said seriously: "Dongqing, calm down, they just mentioned the Dingguo Army, which means that the purpose of trapping you and me this time is probably not just for information."

Dongqing was startled, and turned her head to meet Master's gaze: "Why did the Dingguo Army find us?"

Lu Zhengqiu frowned, and shook his head lightly: "I don't know yet, no matter what, you must not show up at this moment."

Dongqing gritted her teeth, and looked towards the yard again, seeing that the firewood gate was about to close and be completely shut into darkness.But he was controlled by others and helpless.

Could it be that he could only witness the tragedy happening before his eyes, but could do nothing about it?

Just as he was anxious, he felt a heat in his hands. It turned out that the people around him no longer clamped his shoulders, but instead held his hands, gently stroking the back of his hands with ten fingers.

"Master?"

"Shh, master has a solution."

It turned out that just now Lu Zhengqiu's eyes searched around and landed outside the back wall of the tavern. A familiar figure suddenly appeared beside the wall.

Although it was short, he could see clearly that the man was wearing the same hat as Wutong.

He came up with a clever plan and signaled Dongqing to calm down.

He let go of Holly's hand, turned to gather up his skirt, squatted down, and picked up a stone from the ground.

Under Dongqing's surprised gaze, he put the stone between his ten and middle fingers, and raised his arm to throw it.

He injected inner strength into his wrist, and the stone passed through the thick rain curtain without any deviation from its trajectory. On top of one of the officials.

"Ouch." The man snorted, raised his head, took a step back, and squinted his eyes to look at the door beam.

Lu Dongqing understood, and imitated her master, squatting down to find a stone in the mud and rain, and quickly threw it out.

The two are worthy of being masters and apprentices, even the way of throwing stones is exactly the same.The two worked together and threw the second and third stones non-stop... Each stone hit a different position on the door beam and fell at different angles.

The rain curtain was the best cover. The people under the eaves couldn't see where the stone came from. They just felt that disaster was flying overhead. Before they had time to react, they were hit right on the ground.

The rushing officials stopped, and those who had already entered also retreated one after another, looking up.

When everyone's attention was drawn away by time, a strand of silver thread hung down the wall and hooked the doorframe quietly.

With a bang, the door frame was closed heavily, and even the lock hanging on the door knocker was lifted out of thin air, and the lock cylinder slid towards the keyhole, and locked in with a click under the surprised eyes of everyone.

Obviously no one did anything, but the chaimen closed and locked by itself, as if ghosts were haunting it.

The leading officer spat and said, "This room is weird!"

After hearing his words, the rest of the officials were also excited.

Although the woman who was bullied by them still stayed in the woodshed, none of them dared to move rashly, let alone touch the haunted door lock.

The proprietress was still kneeling in the mud, when she saw this strange situation, she suddenly raised her head, scrambled to the edge of the firewood shed, and grabbed the trousers of the official servant: "Master, sir, this... this woodshed is noisy... Haunted..."

The officer lowered his head, saw the frightened face of the proprietress, and said sharply, "What the hell is going on?"

The lady proprietress continued: "That... that was three years ago, I... I hired a long-term worker in my shop, she is a young and beautiful girl, she was just spotted by a rich young master, and she will get married in half a month Unexpectedly, one night...she moved the vegetable altar in this woodshed, and was raped by passing robbers. The rich family thought she was unclean, so they broke off the engagement. She was disheartened, so...she hanged herself here. "

The proprietress burst into tears, and the official was taken by her crazy demeanor, and even the way she looked at her changed.

She embraced the opponent's thigh, and then cried: "When she died... her tongue fell to the ground, and she said she wanted to hook the soul of that prostitute so that he would not be able to reincarnate in the next life..."

The official finally couldn't listen anymore, and kicked her away: "You are really unlucky for this ghost shop! No wonder there are not enough successes, but more failures!"

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

The officer cursed a few more times. Seeing that the landlady was shaking more and more fiercely, she finally lost interest, ignored the locked firewood room, and led a group of people to leave the yard quickly.

Lu Dongqing was still stunned, looking at the messy footprints in the yard, as if wild animals had been raging, and they were soon filled with torrential rain.

Fortunately, this time, the beast was finally locked out by him, and he failed to eat the man.

Lu Zhengqiu took his hand and urged: "Let's leave quickly."

He came back to his senses, and saw that the other party had turned around and walked into the rain, as if he was about to run.

He instinctively chased after him and called out, "Master, Umbrella—"

Lu Zhengqiu had already stepped into the rain curtain, turned his head in the white mist, raised the corners of his mouth, smiled slightly, and said, "Throw it down."

That smile ignited a fire in his heart.

He threw the extra umbrella aside, followed Master's footsteps, crossed the alley, and ran quickly.

The rain still didn't stop, his shoulders were soon wet by the rain, the outlines on his face were also stained, and the powder dripped down his cheeks on the ground, making him feel brighter and lighter than ever before.

Stepping on the puddle with both feet, a series of clear and rhythmic noises were thrown behind him. Although the splashed mud flowers were turbulent, they couldn't catch up with his speed, and fell back into the quagmire slumped.

He had never run so fast before.

He just saved a person, a person who had betrayed himself.

But he didn't care about being betrayed at all, he just felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

Of course he doesn't like being betrayed, but he already understands that it's not Mrs. Qi or the proprietress who betrayed him, but this harsh world where the strong bully the weak and the weak are forced to do evil. Even if one abandons one's conscience, one can only be slaughtered by others.

With these poor people alone, there is no way to save themselves.

Just helping them will not change the world.

The evils of the world are like this shower, which is fierce and blocks the sky and the sun.He can only break through the predicament by running fast enough.

Now that he is running, the heavy muddy water will never try to trap him again.

Looking at the red back in front of him, it was as if he saw a round of sun after the rain and clouds had parted.
