Chapter 1273 Lifeline
Chapter 1273 Lifeline
Liang Chongyue lived an upright and honest life, and there was nothing he couldn't show to others.
It's not to the point that they'd hide even such a small matter.
Having lived half my life, I even saw my scumbag father off in front of a group of soldiers.
Having been criticized for half his life, if Liang Chongyue had cared even a little bit, those civil officials who wrote the Records of the Grand Historian would have been beheaded long ago.
"Let's wander around."
The system stared at that line of small print for a long time, wondering when the main god had become so innocent that he wouldn't even let the system see this.
In the past, when the main god was bored, it clearly heard that the main god was the one who looked around the most.
Times have changed.
With nothing left to watch, the system sighed, took the screen back from its host, and put it away.
On the panel, Fei He pointed to the coiled fishing line that had been thrown in front of the child.
“Binding these people up for making unfounded accusations against His Majesty and buying and selling commoners will at least result in imprisonment. His Majesty is kind-hearted and will not abandon you, but the path is under your own feet and the opportunity is in your own hands.”
To these children, Fei He's words were a lifeline, a last hope in their hopeless lives.
To these adults, it was a death sentence.
"Why? Since ancient times, women have been expected to stay at home to support their husbands, raise their children, and serve their in-laws. Why should the young girls of today not have to do that after Your Majesty ascends the throne!"
Before the children could react, a huge barrage of questions erupted behind Fei He.
Before Fei He could respond, the girl who had shielded all the children behind her stepped forward first.
I picked up the clean white thread from the ground; it was rolled up, and there were five bundles of it.
It looked quite pretty on her, but no matter how much she tugged at it, she couldn't tear it off.
She had never seen anything like it before, but she quickly figured out how to use it.
He took a bundle for himself and handed the rest to the older children.
The older children stayed together year-round, enduring countless nights of hunger and fear.
They can understand each other with just a glance.
Each of them carried a few younger children and walked towards the women and old men.
His face still bore the fear of being oppressed for so long, but then, as if he had thought of something, his eyes became even more resolute.
Fei He stood there watching, and whenever any woman tried to run away, he would fire an arrow from behind.
Fei He did not answer the woman's desperate questioning.
It's futile to reason with someone who is jealous and unreasonable.
It would be better to save these principles and tell them to the children who still have hope.
The child was often hungry, so it would be difficult to tie up this plump and strong woman with such a white fishing line.
Even with Fei He occasionally firing a few more arrows from behind.
Those women, facing imminent death, were more anxious than the pigs slaughtered this morning.
Several younger children, unable to keep up, fell to the ground or were kicked away by the women and old men.
No one looked back to see how she was doing; the children all had their own tasks.
The children who were injured along the way knew from a young age that no one cared about them, and they had already stood up on their own countless times despite being bullied by these people.
They don't need anyone to feel sorry for them. When they are kicked away or tied up and injured, they can immediately wipe away their tears and get up.
Or, after glancing at the wound and bleeding, if it seems minor, they'll continue following behind their sisters, ready to fight for their lives one more time.
Even at the worst possible time, things won't get any worse than they are now. If they manage to pull it off, their lives will be completely different.
Fei He stood in the courtyard watching the children, while Liang Chongyue sat in a tree watching through a panel.
At that moment, no one cared about the harsh words; everyone who witnessed this scene was only concerned about the future of these children.
When Jiang Yubai arrived with the men in black after hearing the noise, he witnessed this scene.
Staring incredulously at the aunts and great-aunts tied together in the yard.
I used to smile at him a lot because he was good at reading.
But in front of Ah Xiang, he was like a completely different person. He would even laugh at him for being useless when he went to the river to wash clothes and bedding for the whole family while protecting his sister. Now, he had bruises on his face.
And those uncles and elders who used to bully Ah Xiang when he wasn't around are now lying on the ground.
It takes in more air than it outputs.
When he left, these people weren't like this; they were all beaming with rosy cheeks and wearing hypocritical smiles, saying that they might be able to drink his wedding wine when he returned.
But less than a quarter of an hour after he left, he sent someone to Qiyang City to tell his nominal in-laws everything that had happened in his family.
These beasts had long ago helped that idiot from the village chief's family set their sights on Ah Xiang.
I wish he would never come back in this lifetime.
He stood outside the yard and couldn't see what had tied them up, but he could tell who had done it.
The moment Jiang Yu arrived, Fei He had already heard the commotion, and when she slightly turned her head and caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye.
Fei He remained calm and pretended not to see him.
I wanted to see how he would react to this scene.
The guards who brought Jiang Yubai did not step forward; they disappeared as Jiang Yubai turned to look for them.
These people were all extremely powerful, so Jiang Yubai didn't pay much attention to them.
He needed to ask this adult who always had a cold face for him, so Jiang Yubai hurriedly stepped into the courtyard.
Jiang Yubai had only taken a few steps when he saw a figure flash by at the base of the main house wall.
"Watch out, there are still people there!"
It was through these men who had oppressed them for the first half of their lives that those girls rediscovered the joy of being human.
Upon hearing this, and after recognizing who was speaking, someone immediately followed the direction Jiang Yubai was pointing.
Fei He noticed that the girls didn't flinch when they looked at Jiang Yubai; on the contrary, their eyes subtly showed a desire to rely on him after they saw him.
After all, Fei He is an uninvited guest who suddenly appeared in the eyes of these girls. Even if he has a noble status in their eyes, he still cannot compare with Jiang Yubai, who has watched them grow up since childhood.
However, this good thing at least proves that Jiang Yubai is different from those beasts in this village.
If these girls' first reaction upon seeing Jiang Yubai was fear and timidity, Fei He would definitely report this to His Majesty.
At that time, His Majesty will certainly not keep Jiang Yubai.
Sending someone with ulterior motives to the Empress Dowager's side, His Majesty would rather pretend that Jiang Yubai never appeared in front of her.
No one would do that.
"My lord, my mother is seriously ill. The doctor said that only your wife has the cure for this disease. Please take me to find your wife. I am willing to do anything to save my mother."
