Transmigrated into a Farmhouse: The Stepmother Spoils Her Child to the Heavens

Chapter 329 Calling Back the Soul?

"That big guy."

The reason that big guy brought his men to find them was because of Red Phosphorus, wasn't it?

"It's his own guilty conscience that's the problem, what does it have to do with me?"

Upon hearing this, Hongmei glanced at the furnishings in the room, then at the brazier in front of her, and then stared at the chestnuts and fruits that were almost cooked on the fire.

That look seemed to be asking, "Is this also because you feel guilty?"

But to everyone's surprise, Honglin was able to say without batting an eye, "He's just feeling guilty. If he weren't feeling guilty, why would he have come to you?"

"As for the things in this room, and the food, they were all there because he felt guilty."

Regardless of what others thought, Honglin spoke with absolute confidence, and as soon as she finished speaking, the sound of Little Bell rang out.

"Then why would he feel guilty?"

Upon hearing this, the group of people immediately turned to look at Honglin. Seeing that the women were all staring at her, Honglin used her pliers to poke at a chestnut in the embers.

"Little Bell, I'm not a mind reader. How would I know the answer to this question? But if you really want to know, ask him when he wants me back."

Little Bell quickly waved her hand: "No, no, I don't want to know, I don't want to know at all."

She was just curious, which is why she asked, and since there were no outsiders here, she was bold enough to ask.

If you asked her to ask someone else this question, that would definitely be impossible; she wouldn't know the answer and she wouldn't have the courage.

On the other side, Li Changyong saw the signal and immediately led his men over. They then saw Gu Nan and several others inspecting something in the snow.

He rode his horse closer and saw that the dark shadows in the snow were all dead men in black.

"Lord Gu, what's going on? When did these people appear here?"

"This place was just discovered and hasn't completely stiffened yet; it shouldn't have been there for more than two hours."

Gu Nan stood up and looked around: "This place is quite remote. If it's not an assassination attempt, then it's probably just a fellow assassin."

Encounters with fellow criminals are common in the vicinity of Lin'an City. Sometimes, patrol teams in the area can find one or two bodies hidden in the snow.

But this was the first time something like this had happened, so he called Li Changyong over, since Li Changyong was the gatekeeper of Lin'an City.

Have you noticed anything unusual at the city gate these past few days?

Li Changyong glanced at the corpses and found that their wounds were all fatal, with each person having a wound in a vital area, while the rest of their bodies were intact.

Hearing the question, he stood up and shook his head: "No, there's nothing unusual."

"Lord Gu, these wounds were all fatal, and they're all in vital areas. There aren't many people with that kind of skill..."

“I know, I will tell the general, but the guards at the city gate can no longer be the same as before.”

Gu Nan was left in Linjiang City, even though their master had just left a few days ago, though few people knew this.

Hearing that the matter had been handled, Li Changyong didn't ask any further questions. After having the body taken away and buried, he returned to his residence.

He had just gotten back and was about to go inside when something came crashing out. If he hadn't been walking fast, it would have hit him squarely on the head.

"Get out, all of you, get out! I'm not your prisoner, why won't you let me out? Who do you think you are?"

"You think you can just not let me out like that? I'm telling you, you wait and see. When that bastard comes back, I'll be the first to kill him."

Upon hearing this, Li Changyong, who was standing at the door, had veins throbbing on his forehead. He turned around and looked at the people behind him: "What's going on?"

The people following behind didn't know how to answer, so they stood there with their heads down, not saying a word. Li Changyong didn't hear a reply, so he kicked them directly.

"I'm asking you what's going on, are you fucking deaf? Don't you know how to answer me?"

In less than half a day, they've turned me into this state. What are these guys doing?

He also said he had found the person and had them brought back, and that by the time he returned, the person inside would have calmed down. Unexpectedly…

Thinking about this, Li Changyong felt extremely angry. He should have explained things to them beforehand, but he was in a hurry to leave and couldn't explain things to them properly!

The person who had been kicked quickly got up and answered Li Changyong's question. It turned out that Honglin had seen Hua Niang and the others go out.

She wanted to go out with them, but for some reason, the guards at the gate refused to let her pass.

Honglin heard the guards say that it was their general who gave the order, saying that no one in the mansion could enter or leave without his permission.

Honglin pointed at Hua Niang and the others who had just left: "Then why were they allowed to leave?"

But to everyone's surprise, the guard glanced at Hua Niang and the others and said indifferently, "They are not from the manor."

Honglin was furious when she heard this. Hadn't Hua Niang and the others just come in?

If it's already inside, and it doesn't count, then what should count it?

But the gatekeepers felt that Hua Niang and her companions didn't really respect the people inside, so there was no need to stop them.

Enraged, Honglin kicked the door, hurting her foot in the process, and hopped back into the house.

She couldn't go out, and neither could Hua Niang and the others. So they followed the maid back to the room the steward had arranged for them.

Standing at the door, Li Changyong heard the voices inside and finally stopped. He then called out softly at the door, "Miaomiao? Miaomiao, are you there?"

Immediately afterwards, a teacup flew out: "What are you yelling for? Are you trying to summon a ghost? If you have something to say, come in; if not, get out."

She has a very bad temper now, and she is definitely not someone that ordinary people can mess with. After hearing this, Li Changyong immediately ran inside.

He knew that if he didn't go in, he would never be able to step through that door again.

He won't be able to get through that door for at least half a month.

Once inside, you'll see Honglin sitting next to a brazier, warming himself by the fire. Honglin has his hands on the brazier, with charcoal burning below and a coarse grain cake on top.

Li Dayong frowned when he saw this: "My household is not very poor, we still have food, Miaomiao, you don't need to eat this."

He felt that girls should be well-nourished and should eat good food, while coarse grain biscuits like these were more suitable for men like them.
