Chapter 220

220 Karma

Qu Daren couldn’t move at this moment. When he heard these words and saw their expressions, his face gradually paled.

At this moment, the people from the government office would no longer let the Qu family continue to quibble. They brought the Qu family to the government office and interrogated them one by one.

This time, when the news of the Qu family being taken away spread, most of the families in the village ran out to applaud.

Many people who had suffered greatly at the Qu family’s hands also went to the bailiffs to complain.

As a result, one case turned into many cases. The Qu family was finally punished for their past sins this time.

Li Xiaoran didn’t participate in dealing with the rest of the matter and left it to Luo Cheng to handle.

When Luo Cheng returned that night, he brought news of the outcome.

None of the Qu family members were innocent. They had all committed many crimes.

Especially Qu Xiaohua. She had actually killed someone before.

This news shocked the people in the village.

The person who was killed by Qu Xiaohua was a young girl in the village.

That girl’s uncle had given her a silver lock, and Qu Xiaohua had secretly seen it.

Later, Qu Xiaohua went to ask the little girl for the silver lock. The little girl said that she didn’t have it and that it was with her mother.

Qu Xiaohua was indignant, so she tied the little girl up to force the family to give her money.

Unexpectedly, she used too much force and accidentally pushed the little girl to the ground.

The little girl was unlucky. Her head hit a sharp edge and she died.

Shocked, Qu Xiaohua quickly pushed the little girl into a hole and went home, pretending that nothing had happened.

Luo Han was experienced in interrogation, and when he was interrogating people about other things, someone suddenly mentioned what Qu Xiaohua and the little girl had met that day.

Luo Han saw that Qu Xiaohua’s expression was off, so he began to probe her. Qu Xiaohua was so frightened that in a panick, she told him what she had done.

In addition, the other members of the Qu family had also done many evil things.

Previously, everyone had put with the Qu family, so those deeds were not exposed.

Now that everyone had come out to report what the Qu family had done, many things couldn’t withstand scrutiny at all. With a little analysis, they could unravel even more truths.

“What surprises us the most is that the Qu family has actually kidnapped people! Women, girls, and children have all been kidnapped. The Qu family is really doomed this time. The most evil ones will be beheaded, and the ones with lighter crimes will be exiled!” Luo Cheng finally said.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was dumbfounded.

She had never expected such vicious people to exist so close to her.

They were demons under the guise of humans.

Some demons had human appearances, but they secretly did evil things that hurt others.

The Qu family had interacted with the Host several times before. However, although the Host didn’t speak much, she was very stubborn. The Qu family wanted to capture her, but they had never succeeded.

Li Xiaoran didn’t dare to imagine what would have happened if the Host had really been captured and sold by the Qu family.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran shuddered. She felt that the Qu family deserved it!

The Qu family was punished, and peace was restored to the village. The village also discussed it for a long time.

Some people applauded, some bought firecrackers to celebrate, and some cried with joy.

Business at the Luo family’s shop also boomed.

In order to thank Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran, many people came to the shop to support the business.

In the end, Li Xiaoran and the others, who originally only did business at noon, were forced to keep the shop open until night.

Fortunately, it was only for a few days. Later on, under Li Shun and the others’ persuasion, business returned to normal. Li Xiaoran and the others finally got some rest.

At this moment, it was already the 20th of December.

There were still ten days until the Spring Festival!

They were almost done preparing for winter.

The firewood had also been prepared and was stored in a large room. It was enough to burn through the winter.

As the new year approached, the weather became colder and colder.

Luo Cheng planned to go up the mountain to hunt for the last time and get some wild animals so that they could feast during the holidays.

Although there was bacon, fresh meat, chickens, ducks, and fish at home, Luo Cheng still wanted to go up the mountain to hunt some hares and wild chickens.

Li Xiaoran originally wanted to follow, but Luo Cheng said that it was too cold on the mountain. If she followed, she would get cold and might fall sick.

For the sake of Li Xiaoran’s safety, in the end, under the objection of the entire family, Li Xiaoran could only stay at home.

However, not long after Luo Cheng left, Li Xiaoran felt uneasy.

For some reason, she had the same bad premonition as the last time they encountered the Seven Kills Gang.

The restless Li Xiaoran went straight to Luo Ziyang.

“Ziyang, do you know how to find your brother?”

“You’re looking for my brother?” When Luo Ziyang heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he immediately refused. “Sister-in-law, my brother told you to wait for him at home. Don’t mess around.”

“Ziyang, I’m not being willful or messing around. I have a bad feeling. This feeling is getting stronger and stronger. Your brother is probably in danger!” Li Xiaoran said anxiously.

When Luo Ziyang saw Li Xiaoran’s anxious expression, he could tell that she wasn’t lying to him.

“Sister-in-law, to be honest, when my brother goes out to hunt, he doesn’t tell me where he goes! In the past, we could still follow his footsteps to search. But now, look outside. It has already started to snow. Any traces will disappear, so I have no way of finding my brother!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Ziyang’s words, she became even more worried.

“Don’t worry, Sister-in-law. My brother didn’t go out alone! As you know, he has secret guards around him. Therefore, no matter what happens, he can resolve it himself! The only thing we can do is to stay at home and wait so as not to cause trouble for him!” Luo Ziyang persuaded.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she nodded and could only go back to her room.

As it was almost the new year, the shop didn’t sell sliced noodles at noon. Yuan Cheng made some buns and rolls to sell.

Of course, because it was very cold in the winter, the shop prepared a large pot of bone soup for travelers every day.

Customers could come in and drink a large bowl of bone soup for free.

Therefore, Li Xiaoran and the others didn’t have to go to the shop these few days.

Li Xiaoran returned to the fireplace worriedly. As she suppressed the anxiety in her heart, she reached out to warm herself.
