Through the window, they could only see a dozen other people in the yard. They seemed to be well-trained and should be the guards of a big family.
But other than that, they could not find any other clues.
Especially the leader. From last night until now, they only had a glimpse of his back when they came in.
What's more, it was pitch black at that time. Apart from being able to barely make out the shape of a human, nothing else could be seen.
After spying for a while, one of them got up and quietly returned to the crowd.
"Lao, Lao San, you, you say, who, who, who, who are those people outside?"
Obviously, it was a little difficult for the stuttering man to say such a long sentence.
Hearing this, the man called "Lao San" just glanced out of the window coldly.
"I don't know."
The stuttering man tutted. He knew that Lao San was a taciturn person, but now he was so anxious that he could not help but ask.
"Then, then, what, what should we do?"
Lao San glanced at the stuttering Lao Si again and said, "Wait."
"Wait, wait for who? I, I think, Lao, Lao Da must, must be in trouble. Why, why don't we, go and help him? "
Lao Si persistently tried to communicate with him.
Unfortunately, Lao San flatly refused him.
"No."
Lao Si was a little anxious. The more anxious he was, the more difficult it was for him to speak. Moreover, he did not have any self-awareness at all and was like a chatterbox every day.
Lao San felt annoyed and did not want to continue to talk to him. Instead, he chose to close his eyes and rest, treating him as a buzzing fly.
For a moment, only the stuttering of Lao Si could be heard in the room.
Apart from them, the rest of the people in shabby clothes, men and women, old and young, did not dare to say a word.
Judging from their fearful and evasive eyes, these two groups of people were not in the same group.
Unfortunately, they did not dare to resist the control of those people.
And those people should have some ulterior motives, but they could only hide in the room because Long Tianhao and the others were outside.
.....
Long Tianhao sat opposite to a man, who leisurely added a small piece of charcoal to the small charcoal stove in front of them.
Seeing him enjoying himself, Long Tianhao could not help but frown slightly.
"Don't you want to go back and see Ya 'er?"
The other party's hand trembled for a moment before returning to its usual frivolous and feminine appearance.
"Tsk! I had to see it sooner or later. Isn't it a coincidence that I met you guys first? "
Long Tianhao did not believe it. "Oh, could it be because of the scar on your face?"
In an instant, the smile on Qinghu's face froze.
"Tsk, that's true." Long Tianhao glanced at him and said mockingly, "You are not a woman. I don't know why you are so pretentious."
"Besides, Ya 'er treats you as her own brother, not because you look good. You don't know how worried she is about you."
Long Tianhao's words eased Qinghu's expression.
However, he still couldn't help curling his fingers into a fist and mocking himself, "I know she won't despise me."
But he cared.
He was no longer a complete person. If his face was ruined, he would only feel ashamed of his inferiority standing in front of her.
Long Tianhao was not him, so he did not understand Qinghu's thoughts.
He knew that the little girl liked beautiful things, so he only hoped that his appearance could be pleasing to her eyes.
But now …
She reached out her hand and touched the scar on the left side of her face.
From his forehead all the way to his chin, half of his face was cut open.
Although the wound had healed, it was uneven.
From afar, it looked like a blood-red centipede lying on his face.
His androgynous and feminine appearance had completely turned into a hideous monster.
No one knew the breakdown and despair in his heart.
So much so that when the flesh on his face was cut open, he was laughing from beginning to end.
But when he removed the gauze on his face and saw the scar, he cried bitterly. After the wound burst open, tears mixed with blood flowed down and stained his clothes.
So, he hid in silence.
He used the task as an excuse to hide from Lin Mengya.
He swallowed a mouthful of bitter tea and pretended to be relaxed, "Besides, I have something to do. I'll go back to see her when it's over."
He was afraid that Long Tianhao would ask about this matter, so he changed the topic.
"I've been secretly chasing the old thief of the Fang family, but I didn't expect that he would not give up. But I didn't expect that he had colluded with the bandits at the 13th pass. "
Qinghu was still cruel and merciless.
Although he was worried about his own girl, he hated the others, especially the culprit who made him lose his face.
But towards the others, especially the culprit who had caused him to lose his appearance, he had long since hated them to the bone.
Those people would fall into his hands sooner or later.
At that time, he would let them taste the revenge that was a hundred times worse than hell.
"I followed them all the way from the 13th pass to here, but I didn't expect to meet you."
Long Tianhao was silent and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "This is the old house of the Gong family."
"What?"
Qinghu was also very surprised.
After leaving the Fang family, he first secretly spied on Madam Duan and the others.
Later, he accidentally learned that the old thief Fang did not give up after losing everything. He even secretly contacted the Zhao family and plotted to turn the tables.
Because it involved Lin Mengya, he was worried about others, so he went to investigate it himself.
In the end, he found that the old thief Fang not only had a relationship with the Zhao family, but also with Madam Duan!
"Well, so I can't leave for the time being." Long Tianhao continued to whisper.
Hearing this, Qinghu touched his chin, and his eyes were full of shrewdness and scheming.
"In this case, no matter what is here, it should belong to my little girl."
He curled his lips and smiled coldly.
"They made me look like this, and even stole my little girl's things. In this case, I should naturally ask for some interest."
Looking at Qinghu, Long Tianhao was a little speechless.
To think that he had thought that this guy was really feeling bad and was thinking about whether or not he should say a few words of comfort to him.
Now it seemed that it was unnecessary.
This sly fox would not be wronged for nothing.
Thinking about it, some people should die miserably!
.....
Speaking of miserably, no one could be compared to those guys who escaped from the 13 passes.
They had prepared for a full three years, and finally found a godsend opportunity to escape.
They had originally divided into two groups.
One group was to find supplies, hide their identities, and horses as soon as possible. After luring the pursuers away, they successfully escaped.
The other group was to go to the old house of the Gong family to get some things.
However, when their boss wanted to rob two horses, he met the father and son of the Huo family.
Not only was he beaten half to death, but he was also caught by Huo Xiao because he thought he was clever.
The other group of people found the old house of the Gong family right after Long Tianhao.
Before they could do anything, they were targeted.
It was like being possessed by the God of Misfortune, and their faces were so dark that even the gods and humans would be angry.
Now, Lin Mengya personally went to see the three people who were brought back.
However, she was listening to Uncle Huo's interrogation of the three people as the young master of the Zhao family.
"I heard from them that you claimed to be foreign merchants and that you entered the aboriginals by mistake?"
"If that is the case, why were you caught and locked up in the 13 passes?"
"You should know that the people locked up there are traitors of our clan. If you dare to lie, I will not let you off easily!"
Uncle Huo threatened the three people fiercely.
The three people saw that he was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a faint dignity of a superior. For a moment, they had different thoughts, but in the end, they believed his identity as a master of an aristocratic family.
The three people looked at each other.
In the end, it was the injured man who spoke first.
"How should I address you, Master?"
Uncle Huo did not feel guilty at all. "Zhao Gulian! You'd better remember my name, in case you mistake me for someone else. "
Lin Mengya almost laughed out loud.
Okay.
Uncle Huo was not kind enough to do this.
But the Zhao family had wronged Uncle Huo first.
They had made him a scalper for so many years. They had to pay some price, right?
"So it's Master Zhao." The eldest man carved this name in his heart, but he looked terrified.
"We three brothers are not lying to you. If you don't believe us, you can send a letter to our families to verify our identities."
"If you can send us home, we will be even more grateful. We are willing to repay your kindness with everything we have!"
Uncle Huo waved his hand impatiently and looked at the three people arrogantly.
"What kind of person do you think I, Zhao Gulian, am? Is he someone you can order around as you please? "
Let me tell you, if you want me to send a letter to you, I can! But you have to use money to exchange for it. "
When he said that, he even looked at their shabby attire with disdain.
"But I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it."
The talkative man, who was sandwiched between the two people and could feel threatened at any time, was about to cry.
"I'll pay!" He did not care about the two people beside him and immediately shouted, "I'm the legitimate son of the Qiao family! I'm the only son of my parents. If you can give them information about me, they will pay you no matter how much it costs! "
"Qiao family? Which Qiao family? I've never heard of it. "Uncle Huo frowned and said unhappily.
The talkative man did not have time to wipe his tears and immediately explained, "Although the Qiao family is not a big family, we are lucky to have a big business!"
"Do you know about the big business? It's the Gong family! The one that is as rich as a country. Do you know about that? "
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows at the sudden cue.
She did not expect the big business to be so famous?
She looked at the skinny young man and asked, "What's the relationship between your family and the big business?"
