g still wanted to stop him, there was no good reason.Li Lao'er took two steps forward and smiled, saying, "Lord Wen, Lord Liu, I happened to be thirsty. It would be nice to have a cup of tea with Lord...Prayer flag

A crowd of people in mourning

A heavy, black lacquered coffin

What is going on!

They only slept in, and then their house was robbed!

Still, Lao Hei was the first to notice that all the faces in the funeral procession were unfamiliar. He immediately cried out.

"Oh no! Something's wrong!"

If the host has a funeral, it should be sent outwards, not inwards!

At this point, everyone else felt something was off too.

"Stop them, and ask them quickly, what on earth is going on"

"Hold them back, something's not right!"

"Why isn't anyone stopping people on the bridge The fence has been thrown into the river! These people are here to cause trouble!"

Everyone out there has been making a living, their actions are swift when the time comes.

In the blink of an eye, they all grabbed whatever stick they could find, tucked their swords in their belts, and raced after him.

By this time, the funeral procession of the Chen family was only a few dozen paces away from the new village.

Chen Lao'er shouted at the band, blowing the dirge louder and louder.

The sound of the suona, piercing and loud, shattered the tranquility of Suijintan.

Lao Hei went crazy, not caring about manners anymore. He charged into the funeral procession like a tiger into a flock of sheep, kicking over the two musicians playing the suona first.

The rest of the veterans were not idle either, following Old Hei. They beat anyone they saw and smashed anything in sight!

For a moment, the funeral procession was scattered and chaotic.

Chen Chuan and his two older brothers wouldn't stand for being taken advantage of, especially since they already had a lot of resentment and hatred in their hearts.

At this moment, Chen Chuan shouted directly: "Where did the dog servant come from, hit me! Even if the Heavenly King comes today, I will bury my son in front of the Li family's gate!"

The old soldiers and servants following behind the Chen family, as well as the guards, also caught up at this moment. Hearing these words, they all drew their weapons and fought with Lao Hei and his men.

Lao Hei and his men were no weaklings, but even a mighty tiger can't withstand a pack of wolves.

Thirty people versus over a hundred, they were about to be at a disadvantage.

Lao Hei suddenly remembered and shouted to a brother, "Go ring the bell, hurry up and ring it!"

In the workshop in the back alley, people were busy making noodles and vaguely heard the commotion outside.

An old soldier shouted, "Who's going to take a look outside Is something happening Did someone kill a pig in the village Why is it so lively"

Someone laughed and said, "You're daydreaming! We don't kill the pig until the New Year, there are still ten days left!"

Before the words even hit the ground, a clear and high-pitched bell rang throughout the entire Ershang Village.

Everyone was stunned, looking at each other with eyes full of disbelief.

This bronze bell is tied to a big tree outside the village, just beside the small bridge.

Brothers on duty at the bridge, if there's an emergency, notify the villagers to come help immediately.

But this is not Jiangbei. Even though the Marquis's reputation usually keeps things in order, and the Li family acts with caution and kindness, getting along well with the surrounding villages, there are no real dangers here. The bronze bell has become nothing more than a decoration.

I don't want to, at this moment today, to think of such an urgent clock sound!

"What are you thinking Thief!" An old soldier jumped up, grabbed the rolling pin beside him and rushed out.

"Quick, loot the house!" Everyone roared and rushed in, grabbing anything they could find. It didn't matter what it was; as long as they could inflict harm, that's all that mattered.

In the blink of an eye, the workshop was empty.

Then Xiao Cui and the women followed close behind, not lagging behind at all.

Running to the front street, no guidance was needed; the procession of over a hundred mourners stood out as the most prominent presence.

Everyone looked to the outermost perimeter, and saw the man with a white sash around his waist being kicked down onto the ground. It was none other than their brother who had been drinking with them last night. At that moment, everyone's eyes turned red.

Damn, smash them!

"Give me a charge, beat them to death!"

If anyone with eyes and sense could see, this funeral procession was not to be trusted!

What a dreadful thing to be coming to Suijin Beach for, of all places!

Even if you had good intentions, wouldn't you hit someone!

Especially last night when drinking, everyone also talked about how a son in the Chen family died and blamed it on the fourth master.

This is obviously the Chen family coming to cause trouble!

In the village, every young and old man was a veteran who had fought on the battlefield.

Even to barbarians as savage as those in the wilds, they might still be somewhat intimidating.

But now facing these house dogs like guards and servants of the Chen family, how could he possibly take them seriously

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred veterans rushed in.

With Lao Hei and his helpers, the battle situation reversed instantly.

Constantly, Chen's guards and servants were being knocked down.

The percussion band needn't even be mentioned, they had long since rolled head over heels into the ditch beside the road for safety, their trumpets were trampled flat.

Little Cui and other women, unable to fight individually, formed groups and beat their opponents in a gang fight.

They followed the men, and whenever a Chen family guard or servant was knocked down, they would rush forward, wielding whatever they could find—wooden basins, rolling pins, even crowbars and door latches—and beat them blindly.

They continued to beat the person until they were head-injured and could not get up, then they turned to gang up on another victim!

The Chen family did have some confidence. While the guards and servants weren't skilled fighters, the dozens of veterans who followed them from the back streets were more than capable.

They are also the main opponents of Lao Hei and others, just by looking at each other, both sides know that they are evenly matched.

But now each goes their own way, and doesn't care so much anymore!

And those four old soldiers guarding the fence, carrying Mrs. Kong all the way to the new village entrance, hadn't even turned towards the back of the village when they heard the bell ringing.

The four of them were almost scared out of their wits and quickly looked towards the bridge in the distance.

Where are there still wooden fences at the bridgehead It's the funeral procession that is blatantly occupying the road!

They unconsciously lowered their heads to look at Mrs. Kong, only to see her stretching her neck towards the road, smiling and watching the commotion.

What else don't they understand!

To lure the tiger away from the mountain!

Four people hated each other to the bone, and with a burst of anger, they threw Mrs. Kong along with the door panel out of the room, then turned and ran back.

Kōng’s wife was gloating when suddenly she flew up, startled and before she could even cry out, she crashed heavily onto a pile of stones by the road.

Her front tooth knocked right out, blood gushing from her mouth. Her leg was pinned under a large rock, the pain excruciating.

She cried, clutching her legs, but no one paid her any attention!

In Li's courtyard, early in the morning, Li Er went to Guojiazhuang with Mr. Wen.

Guo Wenhao received the remains of his parents and elders yesterday and will be holding a funeral today.

Firstly, people forget quickly. Mr. Guo has passed away for a long time, and there aren't many relatives left who keep in touch with the Guo family.

Furthermore, "a day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father," Mr. Wen, as Guo Wenhao's teacher, should be there to support him at this time.

Jiārén is Guō Wénhào's senior martial brother, and logically he should be helping out with the busy work.

When Kea Jiaren is out and about, Li Lao Er, his father, will go over to pay him a visit and do his best to help his son.

And Lao Si had drunk wine last night, so he was unusually lazy in his bed in the back yard room today.

Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying didn't call him either. After breakfast, they opened the kitchen door, washed the glutinous rice, then soaked it, preparing to grind more glutinous noodles.nect.Finally, she walked back home and sat down on a chair when Tao Hongying returned from the city.As soon as she entered, she habitually hugged her chubby daughter and sat her in her arms, then turn...
