Rebirth Era: I Lead the Whole Village to Prosperity

Chapter 455

Walking outside a dilapidated courtyard wall, the calls became clearer and more piercing.

Liangxiu pointed towards the courtyard, his eyes showing deep worry.

Li Xing nodded, carefully climbed up the wall, and lay on the wall like a light cat.

Her eyes penetrated the darkness and saw two small figures imprisoned in dog cages, whimpering softly, looking helpless and pitiful.

"Sister Liangxiu, look, there are two children crying inside." Li Xing's voice was filled with confusion.

"Do you think it's strange? What mistake did these two children make? They were not allowed to enter the house at night. Instead, they were locked in a cage."

She pouted, her eyes full of confusion and confusion.

After a while, a man's rude beating and scolding came from the courtyard: "Why are you crying? If you cry again, I will sell you to the ravine and you will never come back!" The man's voice was full of anger and impatience.

Then, a woman's voice sounded. Although her voice was small, it was comforting: "Keep your voice down, be careful not to be overheard by others."

There was a hint of worry in her voice.

"What are you afraid of? At this hour, everyone is asleep." The man responded dismissively.

"It's really hard to get rid of these two brats. No one wants these stinky girls, and they have to be fed. They are really two losers."

He kicked the cage hard, his voice filled with anger and disgust.

As the two of them listened to all this, shock and anger surged in their hearts.

It is unimaginable that in this world, someone would treat innocent children like this.

The two clenched their fists tightly, looked at each other, and secretly vowed to save these two poor children. In the quiet night, Li Xing inadvertently kicked a tile.

In an instant, a crisp sound of "click" broke through the silence of the night. The sound echoed in the open space, appearing particularly abrupt and clear.

Oops, Liangxiu's face instantly turned pale, and his heart skipped a beat.

Li Xing's face was full of panic. She covered her mouth, trying to suppress the fear in her heart. Her body tensed involuntarily, as if she was ready to deal with the upcoming changes at any time.

The woman's voice was tense and trembling.

Her footsteps were approaching rapidly, and there was obvious anxiety in her voice: "Is there someone outside? I have to go out and take a look!"

Just as she was about to step out of the room, a "meow" broke the tense atmosphere.

It was a cat meow imitated by Liangxiu, so vivid that it was almost believable.

After hearing this, the man waved his hands nonchalantly, with a hint of impatience and contempt in his tone: "It's just a cat, there's nothing to make a fuss about. You're always so afraid of this and that, and you even said you wanted to do it with me. This business is really disappointing.”

After that, he turned around and walked toward the door of the house. As he walked, he told the woman: "Quick, go get me some wine and let me relax."

Although the woman still had doubts in her heart, facing the man's order, she had no choice but to turn around and go to the east room to get the wine.

Li Xing felt her heartbeat speeding up, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

However, in this tense atmosphere, that meow was like a life-saving straw, giving her a feeling of rebirth after a disaster.

She breathed a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing in her heart, and looked at Liangxiu gratefully.

While the two were relaxing, they heard the door creak.
