Chapter 1356 - 1351: Easier to Act at Night
"Grandpa, we can’t just let this go! You may dodge it at the start, but you can’t avoid it forever!Moreover, this Wang Dali might have committed a serious crime! If we let him continue to behave recklessly in the village, who knows... the next victim might be from our Old Yu Family!"
Mu Shuangshuang then shared what she knew about Mu Dazhong’s affair with the Yu Family.
The Yu Family listened in stunned silence.
"You guys think those people buried in the soil might have been Wang Dali’s doing too?" Yu Erlang asked.
At this moment, he was increasingly terrified of Wang Dali.
As if he were some kind of monstrous being!
"Second brother, don’t panic! Whether or not he did it is another matter! Even if he did, we can’t keep cowering, we have to figure out a way to get through this!" said Yu Liulang.
At this moment, Yu Liulang had actually regained a bit of courage.
Especially after Shuangshuang arrived.
He has a wife and children, he can’t hide forever!
Now that he has the courage, he’d better do something big, maybe even bring Wang Dali down!
"Actually, if he did it, it’s to our advantage. We can deliver all these people to the government!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"The previous charge against Wang Dali was too light; this time, we can definitely make him spend a lifetime in prison, and he might even lose his life! If he dies, everyone will be free from worries!"
After listening to Mu Shuangshuang, everyone thought it made sense!
But they were still afraid!
"We should call the villagers! There aren’t enough of us Yu Family members to handle a bandit like Wang Dali!" Yu Erlang added.
"We should gather people, yes, but there’s one more thing we need to do!" Mu Shuangshuang glanced at Old Mrs. Yu.
"First, let’s evacuate the elderly, women, and children from the village, so we won’t have any lingering concerns if a fight breaks out!"
The men of Yu Family Village hesitated to act lightly because of the presence of the old, weak, women, and children.
In truth, none of these farmers are pushovers.
With their physical strength, working all day without rest, how could they be useless?
"Yeah, why didn’t I think of that?" Yu Liulang’s face lit up with excitement.
He smacked his head forcefully.
Cursed himself for being stupid!
"Thinking of it now is not too late, but at that moment, Sixth Uncle will need to say something!"
Mu Shuangshuang said.
In such times, unity is crucial; if even one person falters, fearing the plan can’t be completed!
"Alright, whatever you want me to say, I’ll say!"
Mu Shuangshuang called Yu Liulang aside to tell him some heartfelt things.
Letting him relay the same words to the villagers.
In short, ensure everyone gets involved.
"Shuangshuang, your timing is just right, the villagers have been scared for days, unable to eat or sleep!" Yu Liulang sighed.
Whenever he thought about Wang Dali entering the village, he felt terrible.
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t tell Yu Liulang about her plans to leave, she only said she’d help him.
"By the way, Sixth Uncle, do you know where they’re staying? I mean Wang Dali!" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
"I know, they’re on the mountain next to my tea garden, there are plenty of caves and wild rabbits and pheasants there!
The food they stole from the village is mostly transported to that mountain to be consumed by those in the caves!"
Because of Wang Dali, Yu Liulang didn’t dare visit his tea garden.
He couldn’t pick the tea leaves, wasting quite a few good ones.
"Sixth Uncle, can you take me to have a look?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
"Shuangshuang, you..." Yu Liulang was startled, everyone was trying to flee, why was this girl running towards danger?
"Sixth Uncle, how can you catch a tiger without entering its lair? You don’t know how many people are in those caves or their defenses!
If we don’t know these things, how can we let the villagers rashly attack them?"
Mu Shuangshuang was pressed for time and couldn’t spend too long here.
But she knew that once they caught Wang Dali, she had to help resolve all their issues thoroughly.
Leaving no hidden dangers!
"She’s right, Shuangshuang is right! How about after dark, I take you to sneak a look, but we can only watch from afar, not enter the caves or meet them, okay?"
Yu Liulang always considered Mu Shuangshuang as a child.
Children should be kept behind adults!
"Alright, but Sixth Uncle, you still need to lend me a bow, twenty arrows, and a hemp rope, one for me too!"
These are all tools needed for survival and escape!
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Though Yu Family Village lacks hunters, they’re not entirely without them.
Bows and arrows are no issue, and neither is the rope!
During the afternoon, Mu Shuangshuang and Yu Liulang focused on preparing for the cave visit while the Old Yu Family packed their belongings.
Just waiting for Mu Shuangshuang to say they could leave, and they would swiftly depart.
...
As night fell, it became hard to see your hand.
A perfect time to scope out Wang Dali’s cave.
The only issue was the path was tricky, prone to problems.
Luckily, Yu Liulang had lived here for over twenty years, knowing the trouble spots inside out.
On their way, they first reached his tea garden, seeing from afar a few torches on the opposite mountain.
It seemed like someone was keeping watch at night.
"Shuangshuang, are we just going like this?" Yu Liulang was still somewhat anxious.
"En! Sixth Uncle, don’t worry, we’re only checking the situation, not actually fighting, don’t be scared!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
Hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s steady voice, Yu Liulang felt somewhat calmer.
"Shuangshuang, follow me!" Yu Liulang called out, moving ahead.
Mu Shuangshuang followed him closely but was always vigilant about her surroundings.
They spent nearly an hour before reaching the opposite mountain.
The footsteps on the mountain were indeed different.
Quiet and not at all like a mountain should be.
Suddenly, Mu Shuangshuang stepped forward and pulled Yu Liulang into a nearby bush.
"Shuangshuang..." Yu Liulang was startled.
"Shh, someone’s coming—"
Yu Liulang’s body instantly stiffened, he didn’t dare move.
After waiting a while, two men carrying torches approached.
They muttered to themselves: "Hey, at this late hour, asking us to come out for booze, isn’t this putting us in a tight spot?"
"Exactly, the chief doesn’t know what he’s thinking! Avoiding all those places, why stay in this godforsaken spot?"
"I heard he wants to find the person who once taught him a lesson!"
"What, someone taught the chief a lesson?" one of them asked in shock.
"Absolutely, quite harsh too, but the chief still resents this village, otherwise, he wouldn’t?..."
"Then we shouldn’t hold back, let’s go and seize them, anyway, the villagers are cowardly!"
