Chapter 172: Mazu Appears
When they arrived at the backyard, Zhao Changgeng limped towards Li Erlang and Zhao Yanyan.
"Yan Yan, are you okay?"
Zhao Yanyan nestled in Li Erlang's arms, her face slightly reddened, "Dad, I'm fine, how are you?"
Zhao Changgeng said: "Don't worry, Yanyan, Dad can still hold on. But your grandfather..."
Time was running out, and Li Erlang rushed to say, "Don't worry, Uncle Zhao, Old Man Zhao is fine. He was rescued by my Third Uncle. Let's go quickly."
Li Yuer checked and found that all evidence had been destroyed by the flour bomb, then he left the front hall and entered the backyard.
"We have to leave here quickly, Uncle Zhao. You can't go out like this. You will definitely be recognized."
Li Yuer thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to come back for a while, so pack up any valuables you have."
Zhao Changgeng hurried into the house to pack up his things. Li Erlang took the kitchen knife from Li Yuer and began to cut the rope on Zhao Yanyan's hand.
Soon, Zhao Changgeng packed some important belongings, changed into an inconspicuous set of clothes, and gave a set of men's clothes to Zhao Yanyan.
"This is the clothes Dad wore when he was young. Put them on first."
Zhao Yanyan didn't act pretentiously. She ran into the house and quickly changed her clothes. When she came out, Li Yuer smeared some soot on her face.
"It's safer this way. Sister Yanyan is too white. It's easy to be recognized as a woman."
Li Erlang led the way, taking the father and daughter out through the back door and running deep into the opposite alley.
Li Yuer looked around and a determined look flashed in his eyes.
She picked up the flour and kept raising dust in the house in the front hall and backyard. When the dust was everywhere and the concentration was high enough, she walked out of the yard, kept a certain distance, lit a few clumps of straw, and threw them towards the house.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
After a series of huge explosions, Lao Zhao Ji Noodle House was completely destroyed.
Fortunately, there are no neighbors living close to the Zhao family's home and it is located in a busy downtown area, so the fire will probably be put out soon.
The people were terrified at this time, and some of them took the lead in kowtowing towards the flames rising into the sky.
“The goddess Mazu has appeared! The goddess Mazu has appeared!”
Then, more and more people knelt down and kowtowed.
Ma Wu and his companions were already frightened out of their wits. They were so terrified that they didn't care about Lord Bao who was still in the house.
The rapist, murderer and rapist Leopard was killed by the "Mazu Goddess".
Ma Wu and his men were so frightened that they ran away screaming and shouting, their minds becoming somewhat confused. As they ran they kept mumbling nonsense: "Mother Mazu, please be magnanimous and spare us for now."
Afterwards, the government investigated the case and only found a mutilated and charred body, but no trace of the Zhao family.
The story became even more bizarre. Some said that the Zhao family was taken away by Mazu and went to the Temple of Poseidon to enjoy a good life.
Some people said that the Zhao family had fled during the chaos and would never come back.
Many people came to the crime scene to burn paper and send gold ingots to thank Mazu for getting rid of the evil.
Wu Bapi was so angry that he smashed several sets of Ru kiln teacups. The beauty he had got was gone again. Fortunately, he still had the twin Hu Ji, otherwise he would have been tired of playing with them. He would have felt uncomfortable if he was not a groom for a day.
However, since this matter was related to gods and Buddhas, he was somewhat afraid. For the next period of time, he did not dare to let anyone forcibly abduct women.
After those people robbed the beautiful women, they would first offer them to Wu Baopi and his son to choose. When they had the rest, the pirates would enjoy them themselves. When they got tired of playing with them, they would send them to prostitutes to make money for them.
The newly opened brothels and gambling houses in Xinpu Town were all the work of Wu Baopi and his sons. On the one hand, they satisfied their lust and greed, and on the other hand, they let the pirates take the blame.
Li Yuer and his companions took advantage of the chaos to escape from Xinpu Town and successfully reunited with Li Laosan and his companions at Sanshu.
"Are you okay?" Li Laosan asked with concern.
Li Erlang shook his head, feeling both scared and excited. "Uncle San, pinch me and see if it hurts. I feel like I'm dreaming. It's so fucking exciting!"
"Ah! It hurts, it hurts!" Li Laosan really pinched him hard. Li Erlang complained regretfully, "You really pinched me! You did it on purpose."
Zhao Yanyan, who was standing by, cast a distressed look at Li Erlang, but she was dark now and no one noticed her expression.
Seeing his father lying on the cart under the tree, looking at him with his head tilted, Zhao Changgeng ran forward crying, "Dad, I'm so glad you're okay."
Old Man Zhao rolled his eyes, indicating that he was fine.
As he said this, Zhao Changgeng was about to kowtow to Li Yuer and the others. Li Yuer quickly dodged, and Li Laosan dragged him up.
"Uncle Zhao, this is unacceptable. You are the elder, and if an elder kowtows to a younger generation, we will shorten our lifespan."
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Zhao Changgeng, who had survived the disaster, spoke incoherently.
Datou comforted him, "Uncle Zhao, it's okay. We are all fine now, but let's leave here first, so as not to run into anyone and cause trouble."
"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go! Let's go!"
Seeing that Zhao Changgeng was staggering, Li Yuer said, "Let Uncle Zhao lie on the cart as well. This cart is big, so you two can take turns pushing it."
Zhao Changgeng quickly refused and said that he could do it, and he coughed up blood in excitement.
Zhao Yanyan was so scared that she started crying, "Dad, how are you?"
Zhao Changgeng wiped the blood from his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Strangely enough, after spitting out this blood, Dad feels much better, and his chest doesn't feel as stuffy anymore."
Li Yuer said: "Maybe it's a good thing. It's good to spit out the blood clots. Let's go first."
"Where are we going?" Li Erlang asked.
Li Yuer thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back to Rabbit Island first."
When they arrived at Rabbit Island, Li Yuer settled the two of them down.
After hearing what happened to the two men, the Li family members were deeply saddened and told them to let them stay there with peace of mind.
Li Meier called Li Yuer to the kitchen shed and said, "I know they are pitiful, but will they bring trouble to our family?"
Li Yuer said: "It's hard to say, so I have to find a way to deal with this matter in the next two days."
"Then what are you going to do about it?"
Li Yuer said that the ice on the strait was about to melt, "We will move out tomorrow and let them live on the boat first. Rabbit Island is remote and it will be difficult for them to find this place. Let's say hello to Uncle Jiu and tell them that we have sold our boat to them.
Even if something happens in the future, we can still pick it out.”
For dinner, Zhao's father and daughter ate a variety of seafood and rice porridge, feeling a little guilty.
Zhao Changgeng said: "You saved our lives, we can't eat and live for free, we will pay for the food."
He thought that the Li family deliberately prepared such delicious food to entertain them, but in fact, the Li family had been eating like this for some time.
Li Laoer said: "Brother Zhao, you don't have to be polite. Everyone has difficulties. I believe you will get through it soon."
The reason why Li Yuer was willing to help the Zhao family was mainly because she hated people who raped women the most and she could not tolerate this.
After dinner, Zhao Changgeng fed his father. The Li family used a curtain to separate a small space for Zhao Changgeng and his father to live in, making it convenient for Zhao Changgeng to serve his father.
Zhao Yanyan lived with the women of the Li family.
