Super rare beast girl, run away! The emperor's uncle is coming!

Chapter 225: Cave War with a Woman

She quickly caught up with her brother, and the two siblings competed secretly in the woods, and soon they reached a dense forest deep in the mountains.

The environment here is not the best, with dense forests and thorns everywhere. Her brother took her through carefully, and after a long time they found a cave next to each other. The entrance of the cave was not big.

"It's here!" Qu Qingchen's voice made the people in the cave extremely nervous, and they dared not make a sound.

Qu Qingchen was still wondering why there was no movement, so he leaned forward.

“Ah! Who…who…”

"Uncle, it's me, Qingchen. How are you guys? I came over to take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Jingyao clearly heard the person in the cave let out a sigh of relief, followed by a rustling sound.

Qu Jingyao walked forward and followed her brother into the cave.

The brother and sister hid at the entrance of the cave, looking at what was going on inside.

Dozens of villagers were huddled in the not-so-spacious place inside. Through the light coming in through the hole, one could see that everyone had a look of confusion and sorrow on their faces.

"Qingchen, it's you! I was so scared. How's the situation down the mountain?"

Qu Jingyao looked at the familiar middle-aged man and called him "Uncle" like her brother!

"Uncle, I found that group of people at the foot of the mountain last night still lingering around the village. You guys better hide for the time being."

As soon as the words were spoken, low sobs and desperate sighs were heard in the cave.

The brother and sister comforted everyone with a few words and then walked towards the cave next door. This cave was a little more spacious than the previous one and there were more people living there.

Xu Lizheng heard the noise at the cave entrance and looked over quickly. Seeing the figures of the brother and sister, he immediately stood up and walked towards them.

"Girl, are you back?"

"Well, Uncle Lizheng, I'm back. Are you all... okay?"

Xu Lizheng sighed, then turned his head and looked around the cave.

The cave was dark and damp. The men were fine, but the elderly and children were not so well. Some of them had caught a cold in the past two days and had to endure it without any herbs.

"Uncle headman, I'll go pick some herbs and bring them over later. The situation is still not good, and..." Qu Jingyao lowered her voice and spoke only to the headman.

He was told to make plans early, as the group said they were going to search the mountain tomorrow...

The village head couldn't control himself for a moment and screamed in anger, attracting all the surrounding villagers.

"What! Are they really going to kill them all?"

"When exactly is the village chief?"

"Yes!"

Qu Qingchen sighed helplessly, looking at the extremely angry face of the village head, he could only step forward to comfort him.

"Uncle Village Chief, don't worry. Let's work together to figure this out. We have to get through this difficult time!"

Not only did Qu Qingchen's words not get the understanding of the surrounding villagers, but there were also a group of people gossiping about him.

"Hey, isn't this the eldest son of the Qu family? Are you making fun of him now? Humph, you said you wanted to find a way, but then tell me what it is!" Mrs. Wu teased the villagers around her.

Many village women who had already broken down mentally also started to shout.

Questioning Qu Jingyao and his sister.

"Yeah! You guys are living a life of luxury, while we're all stuck in this mess. When will it end? What do you think?"

"That's right, I haven't seen your family do anything for us! You're just pretending to be sympathetic, who are you trying to show off to?"

When Wu saw that someone responded to her emotions, she immediately became excited, and Qu Shuliang beside her no longer stopped her.

He has never had the chance to attack these two brats, so this time he will give them a warning.

"Can't you just keep quiet? You're still in the mood to make a scene at this hour. You're hopeless."

Xu Lizheng shouted at everyone with an angry look on his face.

After comforting her mother-in-law, Aunt Cui Lian immediately stepped forward to persuade him, saying that it was not appropriate to shout so loudly here. Then she grabbed Qu Jingyao's arm and asked if her mother and the others were okay.

"Aunt, my mother is fine. She is just worried about you."

Aunt Cuilian has been feeling uneasy these past two days. She has to take care of her mother-in-law, and Lingling is also sick. She...

Qu Jingyao understood the situation and glanced around the cave. She saw Lingling lying next to Grandma Xu, and Sister Zhier snuggling next to Aunt Fu. Not to mention Aunt Yu, who was being troubled by her mother-in-law under such difficult conditions.

She shook her head helplessly, then looked at the women who were still shouting and nagging.

"What qualifications do you have to ask my family to help you? Have you done us a favor? Have you had any feelings for us? Or have you had any past?" Qu Jingyao's words immediately made the two of them blush, their voices became lower and lower, and they lowered their heads in embarrassment.

When Mrs. Wu saw this, her face immediately darkened, and she secretly hated this bitch for her sharp tongue and eloquence.

"You're talking nonsense! Aren't we all the villagers who watched you grow up? Don't you have any kindness at all? Haven't you ever received kindness from others?"

A gleam of light flashed in Qu Shuliang's eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up anxiously. He wondered how this stupid woman could become smart now.

Then, with a sincere and earnest look, she said, "Yao girl, you are always so bad-tempered. Your aunt is doing this for your own good. The villagers are all in trouble right now. Don't you really want to lend a hand?"

"Yeah! How could you bear it?"

Qu Jingyao did not find Qu Shuliang's children and Qu Huaer in the crowd, and a trace of doubt flashed across her face.

Then he curled his lips and smiled: "Aunt? You are kidding, I have nothing to do with her, and don't act like you are doing this for my own good. Isn't it the time when you enslaved our family when we were young? Isn't it the time when you beat and scolded us? People! Really shameless.

Didn't my family also suffer when my fellow villagers perished? Wasn't it my brother and my family who helped us escape the disaster? Otherwise, how could we have escaped the pursuit without any help?

And who is the ungrateful one?"

As soon as Qu Jingyao finished speaking, everyone in the cave quieted down instantly.

At this moment, Xu Lizheng's anger broke out uncontrollably, and he scolded some people for being stupid.

They are all villagers of Lingshui Village. Who has the obligation to help everyone? Besides, didn’t the Qu family help everyone after they became rich?

Which family couldn't afford to buy food? When they had no rice to eat, it was the Qu family who came to their rescue. Are they your parents who provide you with food and clothing?

Why must I help you?

After Xu Lizheng finished speaking, the cave was silent except for the old man's heavy breathing and spitting. Everyone lowered their heads in anger after being scolded.

"I'm not afraid to tell you, the brother and sister are here to deliver a message. Tomorrow night, those people will search the mountain. If you continue to make trouble, you will die."

Xu Lizheng angrily waved his sleeves and walked out of the cave.
