Chapter 921 - Opening the Immortal Trove
An adage says that those who sow virtuous deeds will harvest rewards, while those who plant evils will reap retributions. It's not that the retribution never comes, it's just the time hasn't yet arrived.
These vicious and fiendish people had done inexplicable crimes and evils—and now, retribution had come knocking at their door. No matter if it was Tang Xiu or Xue Yu, none of them had the slightest sympathy for them, while Tang Xiu himself was a man who had experienced too many things. He was deeply aware of the truth that eradicating fiendish people meant that countless good people would be protected from their scourge.
"Alright. We'll hike up the mountains tonight."
Tang Xiu looked up and spoke to Xue Yu after he hung up the call.
Xue Yu nodded. She understood Tang Xiu's character. He never liked to be in the limelight and never liked to deal with trivial yet troublesome matters. Since the police would come over later, it was better for them to leave earlier.
"COME ON EVERYONE, HURRY UP! Don't let Mr. Tang and his wife have any accidents!" Uncle Jia's voice was heard outside the courtyard fence, whereas they could hear people's footsteps getting clearer.
Tang Xiu and Xue Yu exchanged glances and they stepped out of the house. Outside, they saw Uncle Jia leading hundreds of men, women, and children and they were now just less than 20 meters away from the front gate.
When Uncle Jia saw Tang Xiu and Xue Yu coming out, he suddenly looked pleasantly surprised. He then ran over and asked, "Are you all right, Mr. Tang?"
Tang Xiu was somewhat touched on the inside. He could easily imagine how Uncle Jia felt restless for him and Xue Yu. After he came here, he immediately summoned all the villagers. All of these hundreds of people made up almost all of the inhabitants of the entire village.
"Uncle Jia, we're all right, really."
Uncle Jia heavily nodded and said, "This place is not safe, Mr. Tang. Hurry up and leave while there are only a few of the bad guys here!"
"How many hunters came here exactly?" asked Tang Xiu.
"Just seven, but each of them is a ruthless man," answered Uncle Jia.
"If there are only seven of them, then there'll be no problem anymore," said Tang Xiu smilingly. "They are all inside the house now and I've knocked all of them down. By the way, the police will soon arrive, so we need to set off first. When the police get here, you can hand over these hunters to them."
Uncle Jia gawked and stared blankly before he snappily said, "You're an adult, Mr. Tang; how can you spit out such a joke at this time? Just listen to me. You'd better leave the troubles here and snatch the time and chance to leave. We can find some reason to avoid those bad people when they come again."
Many villagers of this village had met Tang Xiu before and also shouted:
"Yeah, Mr. Tang. You don't know how bad those people are. They have machetes and guns, so you gotta hurry in leaving this place!"
"Mr. Tang, Grandpa Jia didn't joke with you. Just hurry up, else you won't be able to go after those bad guys come back here."
"Aiya, you're still too young. You have no idea what danger is looming ahead. Those bastards are simply evil. They even dare to kill people."
"Hurry up and go!"
"..."
Tang Xiu watched those simple yet pure appearances, each containing an expression of concern on their faces. He silently put aside what emotions he felt on the inside and said, "Everyone, just come to the house with me if you don't believe me. I've already subdued those seven bad guys and they are now inside."
