Chapter 449 Setting Fire to the House
The two of them spent a very affectionate day and night in this little house, but they didn't know that the village was almost in chaos because of their disappearance.
Those people riding horses are all from the Lin family.
Relying on his power, he beat up the villagers and then promised them benefits.
Anyone who can hand over Lin Yue can get 1000 yuan.
This is a lot of money. These days, ordinary people don’t even have ten dollars to live on, let alone so much money. It’s unimaginable.
But what surprised Erzhu and Uncle Beggar was that the people in Laoya Village were all very loyal and refused to admit that they had ever met Lin Yue.
Seeing that they could not get any information out of the person by forcing him to confess, the Lin family members became so desperate that they actually set fire to a family's house.
"I'll ask you one last time, where is our Miss Lin Yue? Who is hiding her?"
"If you don't tell me, all the houses here will end up like this."
……
This kind of behavior was unbearable for everyone in the village, and they started cursing.
"You crazy bastards, you disregarded the lives of so many of us for one person. You are not human, you are beasts!"
"Don't think we're afraid of you. If you have the guts, just kill us too!"
The people in the village picked up hoes and knives, ready to fight to the death with the Lin family.
These days, they have already accepted Zhang Yaoyang, Lin Yue and others, so there is nothing to say about protecting the people of their own village. At most, they will be heroes again in eighteen years.
Everyone present was very excited, and the Lin family members were frightened so much that they retreated step by step.
Naturally, they didn't dare to kill anyone.
If a little property is destroyed, it can be settled with just a little money.
Now that they had aroused public anger and the villagers were ready to resist, they felt afraid again.
"What should we do? It seems that they really don't know the whereabouts of our young lady. It's not good to continue to force them like this. Why don't we... just retreat!"
"But if we don't find the person, the master and mistress of the Lin family will not let us off. Sigh... what should we do?"
……
Just when the Lin family was a little hesitant, Erzhu could no longer sit still. He pulled the beggar uncle's sleeve and said worriedly, "Uncle, what should we do? These people are too much. If they burn down all the houses in the village, we will be guilty of a great sin."
The beggar uncle was also very embarrassed and said: "Alas... I didn't expect it to be so troublesome. Although the trouble was caused by the boss, we can't sit idly by and let these villagers suffer for us."
Erzhu nodded: "Uncle, don't worry, if it really doesn't work later, I will stand up and take on everything."
If Zhang Yaoyang wants to blame someone, then let him be blamed. He will accept it even if you have to kill him or cut him up.
However, at this moment, it was seen that these Lin family members did not continue to pester, but turned around and rode away on horseback.
Seeing this, the people in Laoya Village naturally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, everyone quickly put down their weapons and went to find buckets of water to help put out the fire.
Erzhu was feeling guilty, so he was the one who worked the hardest. He wished he could pour all the water on the house and put out the fire as soon as possible.
Finally, with the joint efforts of everyone, the fire was finally put out.
But the furniture inside had long since been burned into charcoal, and many of them could no longer be recognized as what they were originally.
The only comforting thing is that these people did not lose anyone's life, otherwise, the people in Laoya Village would be very sad.
Erzhu looked at the family, who could only sit outside because their house was destroyed. They all had sad faces and looked extremely sad.
Erzhu was full of remorse. He walked up to the family that was affected by the disaster and said with a choked voice: "It was me and my boss who caused you trouble. This disaster was caused by us. Don't worry, we will not abandon you. We will definitely compensate you double for this loss!"
The man of the family quickly comforted Erzhu and said with a sigh, "My child, how can you be blamed for this? You are also a victim. We don't blame you for the evil done by those evil people."
"The house is made of stone, but the roof is gone. We will find a way to patch it up, and at least we can get through this winter."
"It's okay. There are so many people watching. No one in our family will die."
Just then, Zhang Yaoyang and Lin Yue came back, looking very happy.
Seeing the village in a mess and the fear still on everyone's faces, they felt nervous.
Zhang Yaoyang grabbed Erzhu and asked anxiously, "We haven't seen each other for just one day, what's going on?"
Erzhu told Zhang Yaoyang everything in detail. After listening, Zhang Yaoyang frowned, his eyes full of guilt and anger: "It's my fault for not considering it carefully. I made everyone suffer."
Lin Yue's eyes were red. She walked to the affected villagers and said with a sob, "Dad, mom, brothers and sisters... I'm sorry. It's all because of me that you have suffered such a great disaster. I will definitely compensate you."
She turned to look at Zhang Yaoyang and said firmly, "Yaoyang, we can't just let this go. My family has gone too far. We must find a way to make them pay the price."
Zhang Yaoyang pondered for a moment and said, "The Lin family is very powerful. We can't force them. But we can't let them get away with it either." He looked at the people in the village and said loudly, "I'm sorry for everyone this time. If you need me in the future, Zhang Yaoyang will never say no!"
The villagers gathered around him, and although they still looked tired, there was no resentment in their eyes, only encouragement. They were all trying to persuade him not to mess around.
That night, Zhang Yaoyang, Lin Yue, Erzhu and Uncle Beggar got together to discuss countermeasures.
Lin Yue said: "I can't stay here any longer. If I don't cut off ties with my family, they won't let me go."
She didn't want to implicate others anymore.
Zhang Yaoyang nodded: "This matter was caused by me, so I should come forward to solve it. You all wait here, I will go find them."
Erzhu hurriedly stopped him: "Boss, you can't go. Those people in the Lin family can do anything. You can't go alone. If you want to go, we have to go together."
The beggar uncle also advised: "Boss, you must not be impulsive in this matter. The Lin family's power is complicated. If you go rashly, you may never come back."
Zhang Yaoyang had made up his mind. He said with a firm look in his eyes, "We have to solve this problem. It's easier for me to do it alone. You guys stay and help the villagers repair their houses."
"Okay, it's settled. I'm leaving tonight!"
Lin Yue was reluctant to let him go, but Zhang Yaoyang was a man with strong opinions. Once he made a decision, even eight horses could not change it.
