After sending his wife off, Ji Fangcun sat quietly in the house with his tools by his side.
Those hoes and hammers could be used by Song Jian to exploit them, but they could also be used as weapons to resist the invaders.
He wondered how Patriarch Gong was preparing.
They had agreed to meet in the evening. By then, they would be able to rescue the Li Clan completely.
But for some reason, he felt uneasy today.
"Brother Ji, that son of a b * tch Song Jian brought someone over. He wants us to go over!"
A young man who was on good terms with him ran in and said anxiously.
Ji Fangcun thought for a moment.
Song Jian would return to his residence at this time every day. Why did he come so suddenly this time?
Could it be that he had discovered something?
He recalled Madam Gong and Patriarch Gong's request. He picked up the hoe and said in a low voice, "Let's go and see what's going on."
Within a few days, more than a hundred people were gone. Fortunately, the Li Clan's ancestral hall was not small. It was equivalent to a small football field. When all the people were gathered together, it was not too obvious.
Song Jian stood awkwardly in front of them, and his tone was unprecedentedly flustered and exasperated.
"Listen up, all of you! From now on, guard the entrance. If you dare to let anyone in, you're dead! "
With that, he hurriedly led Sixth Young Master and his men to the backyard.
Sixth Young Master didn't even look at them. He dragged Li Xian to the backyard.
"Patriarch!"
"Yes, Patriarch!"
"Let go of Patriarch!"
All the Li Clan members were red-eyed. Patriarch Li was barely breathing and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. One look and they knew he had been tortured.
But Sixth Young Master broke Li Xian's left arm with a violent stomp.
Patriarch Li let out a muffled groan, and his breathing became rapid because of the pain.
"If you want him dead, you can continue to cause trouble!"
Sixth Young Master's methods were ruthless. Even Song Jian was fearful.
The Li Clan members were stunned. They gritted their teeth and didn't dare to step forward.
"Let's go."
They could only watch helplessly as Song Jian and the Sixth Young Master took them away, but there was nothing they could do.
The young man looked at Patriarch Li anxiously and asked in a low voice, "What should we do? Patriarch is still in their hands! "
Ji Fangcun was also a little upset.
With his poor intelligence, it was really difficult for him to think of an effective method.
Just as he was secretly anxious, someone had already sneaked out of the crowd while there were so many people.
When Lin Mengya received the news that the Sixth Young Master and Li Xian were in the ancestral hall, she rushed over with Long Tianhao.
It wasn't that she didn't have any plans before, it was just that the sixth young master and Song Jian's behavior was too strange.
Under such circumstances, they were not in a hurry to escape. Instead, they brought the hostage here.
Perhaps there was something even more important here!
"Master, should we rush in?"
Baisu asked in a low voice.
Lin Mengya looked at the closed door and had a plan in her mind.
"Ah Da, bring some men to sneak in first and rendezvous with our men. If there's a chance, follow the original plan. "
Ah Da nodded and nodded to a few people, disappearing in front of her in a hurry.
Lin Mengya looked around and then at the ancestral hall.
She seemed to have thought of something and actually walked a short distance towards the ancestral hall.
Long Tianhao kept staring at her.
Knowing about the existence of the System and Xiaoyao, he had long been used to his wife's "strange behavior".
Perhaps she had found some clues with the help of Xiaoyao.
When Lin Mengya returned to his side, she told him what she had found.
"Yu, the fields of the Li Family are all concentric circles. I just found out from the map that Xiaoyao recorded that the center of these concentric circles of different sizes is this ancestral hall."
When she first came in, she felt strange. Under normal circumstances, the fields on both sides of the road were divided into different sizes for the convenience of farming.
But here, they were all perfect circles.
Perhaps she could see the problem more directly if she looked down from the sky.
But they didn't have that condition now, so she could only see the simulation map of the System.
Hearing this, Long Tianhao also looked around.
"It seems so."
Could it be that there was some special meaning behind this?
Just when the two of them were puzzled, suddenly there was a loud noise from the ancestral hall not far away.
She only felt as if there was an earthquake under her feet. In a panic, she grabbed Long Tianhao's wheelchair tightly, for fear that he would be hurt.
Unexpectedly, when the sound stopped, half of the ancestral hall had collapsed.
"Hurry up and save the people!"
She ordered the others to search for survivors in the ruins of the ancestral hall.
Fortunately, the building of the ancestral hall was not very tall, and most of the people were in the square in front when the accident happened. Therefore, they only trampled in panic and caused more injuries.
And because of this sudden accident, Ji Fangcun and the others almost effortlessly subdued the people left behind by Song Jian and the sixth young master.
By the time Lin Mengya joined them, the situation was already under their control.
"Master Gong!"
The sharp-eyed Ji Fangcun was the first to find her.
Lin Mengya handed Long Tianhao over to Ah San and the others. She gave them a few more instructions before walking over to investigate the situation.
"What the hell happened?"
She frowned and looked at the ancestral hall that had suddenly collapsed.
And Ji Fangcun was obviously also confused.
"I also don't know, it was fine just now, I don't know how the backyard collapsed!"
"Oh no, Master and the elders are still inside!"
The young man who had been following Ji Fangcun yelled, slapping his thigh.
Lin Mengya did not dare to delay, and immediately ordered the young man to check the situation in the backyard.
What she didn't expect was that all the houses in the backyard had disappeared.
Instead, there was a large circular pit with a diameter of 20 to 30 meters.
Everyone was anxiously surrounding the pit, but no one dared to go down.
Lin Mengya was pulled by Baisu to look into the pit.
It was at least 50 to 60 meters deep.
And there were many ruins of houses in it. Most importantly, the situation inside was not stable at all, and there were things constantly leaking in from the surroundings.
Even the best martial arts masters did not dare to go down, and they did not know the situation of the pit at all.
Ji Fangcun and the others had searched the backyard, and only found a small house in the east, with four unconscious young people lying on the ground.
Coincidentally, these four people turned out to be Long Tianhao's subordinates who had suddenly lost contact with him.
Lin Mengya learned from them that they were sent to take care of the master and the elders.
They only knew that Song Jian imprisoned these people to force them to tell them about the existence of something.
As for what it was, and whether they had found it or not, they had no idea.
Moreover, they only drank a bowl of water that the clan elder poured for them this morning, and then fell into a coma.
Lin Mengya heard their words and looked at the big pit that suddenly appeared. Her heart sank again and again.
Obviously, the elders did this because they did not want to be a burden to these four people.
She was afraid that they would be in trouble.
She asked Ji Fangcun to bring most of the Li family to the front yard.
Not long after, Li Ao, who heard the noise, hurried over with his men.
"Gong Family Head, where are my father and my uncles?"
Lin Mengya did not know how to tell him, and finally, she brought him to the big pit in the backyard.
"This is?"
Li Ao was also dumbfounded.
"You heard the noise just now, right? I don't know why, when we arrived, things became like this."
She felt a little guilty.
It was because she had agreed with Ji Fangcun to make a move tonight that she had neglected this place.
Who would have thought that Song Jian and the Sixth Young Master would not even run, but come back to kill them?
If the Master of the Li family really met with misfortune because of this, she was afraid that she would not be at ease.
Li Ao looked at the big pit dejectedly.
"How did this happen?"
As he spoke, he was about to jump in, but in the end, Lin Mengya asked someone to stop him.
"I want to save my father and the others! Master Gong, let me go! "
"No, it's not stable down there, it's very dangerous! I know you want to save your father, but you have to ensure your own safety, they still need you! "
Lin Mengya pointed at the Li family members who were panicking and helpless.
Just now, they had experienced a narrow escape from death.
Li Ao stopped struggling and knelt by the side of the big pit, covering his face and crying silently.
"I'll watch over this place for you. Once it's stable, you'll be the first to go down."
She comforted him softly.
This was too sudden, even until now, she still found it unbelievable.
Li Ao managed to sort out his emotions, stood up, and sincerely asked her for help.
"Please inform me as soon as possible!"
"Okay, I got it."
Under the heavy dust, Li Ao turned to face his clansmen.
And Lin Mengya retreated to a relatively safe position, nervously monitoring the situation in the collapsed big pit.
Her ears could hear a very slight sound.
After more than half an hour, there was no more movement inside.
The smoke and dust in the air slowly dispersed. She took a deep breath and carefully distinguished the smell in it.
There was no smell of gunpowder, but there was a smell of damp earth.
This meant that the formation of this big pit was probably because the bottom was hollow.
But this ancestral hall of the Li family had existed for at least a hundred years.
In the past hundred years, there had been no problems at all. And from the performance of the Li family, it seemed that no one knew the situation under the ancestral hall.
She had a preliminary idea in her mind, but it had not been confirmed yet.
After another hour or so, she personally went to the edge of the big pit to check.
The surrounding had formed a relatively stable situation. As long as there was no great external damage, it should not continue to fall.
Baisu was worried and pulled her with a rope. She murmured, "Master, be careful! Or, let me go down! "
