Chapter 969: Chapter 969: To Biluo
In this little over a month spent here, life has been so comfortably peaceful that it almost made one forget the outside world was still ravaged by war.
However, knowing that the two were heading out to rescue soone, everyone refrained from stopping them.
In their hearts, they secretly thought, since they couldn’t lend a hand, they’d make sure to take good care of the place and try to harvest the paddy into the granary before Bai Junjun and Li Wenli returned.
Touched by everyone’s “thoughtful and considerate” behavior, Bai Junjun was moved and promised to bring back gifts for everyone.
And so, amidst the reluctant farewells of the crowd, the two departed.
Regarding Three-Branch Junction, ever since Ah Dao had led people back, they stopped flaunting their presence there.
This was the first ti the two passed by Three-Branch Junction after the incident. They had anticipated that it would be heavily guarded, and sure enough, it was.
One could see the heavily fortified checkpoints outside the Ownerless Land, with rows of guards stationed there.
Unaware people might even think the Ownerless Land is like a massive prison.
Fox couldn’t help but smirk: “These people really think too highly of themselves.”
This must be the so-called village bully, right? On what basis do they blockade soone else’s doorstep?
Bai Junjun, however, was calm, rely slanting a glance and saying, “We’ll talk about it when we return.”
After all, this trip is to find people; making enemies loudly before finding them would only add obstacles later on.
Fox nodded and took the lady on the aerial route.
From Ownerless Land to Biluo City, it would take a month on a fast horse, but for Li Wenli, an hour was enough.
He hadn’t even fully enjoyed holding the lady around her waist before they arrived at their destination.
But even in the middle of the night, Biluo City was still heavily guarded.
Almost every few steps there was a sentry or guard booth, and despite it being late at night, guards were still patrolling back and forth.
The two circled in the sky for a long ti before finally seizing a mont when there were no guards to land in the residential area.
But as soon as they landed, they heard the sound of a bowl breaking with a “clatter” from the yard next door.
The two instinctively stood against the wall, weapons at the ready, but after waiting for a while, no one rushed out from the yard.
After a mont of stunned silence, the quarreling and fighting noises from inside the yard grew more intense.
“Let’s die together, then it all ends!”
“You damn bitch, I should never have redeed you in the first place. It’s bad enough that you’re jealous, but your old vice of stealing n hasn’t changed—who could bear it?”
“Where do you get off being innocent? You’ve had an affair with the widow next door, don’t think I don’t know. Why is it only you get to find won? And what I’ve done, why? Ultimately, isn’t it because you’re inept? Because you’re broke!”
Then, there was another round of the crashing sounds of pots, pans, and utensils breaking.
Bai Junjun and Li Wenli didn’t expect that a random place they chose to land would let them hear a dostic dispute.
Of course, a dostic dispute was one thing, but as the quarrel progressed, it abruptly turned into heavy, ragged breathing—the sound was sowhat fierce and ambiguous.
Could it be?
Fox hesitantly opened his mouth after a while: “It seems… sothing’s not right.”
“Should we… go check it out?”
Bai Junjun was also unsure, as the gasping sounds were indeed a bit misleading.
Just as they hesitated, a strong sll of blood wafted from under the door. The two exchanged glances and silently scaled the wall to get inside.
The courtyard was very dilapidated and shabby, exuding an air of poverty, but at the mont there was no one around; the gasping ca from the main house.
Silently, they moved towards the window, and peering through the crack, they were astonished by what they saw.
