Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens
Chapter 176 Combating Feudal Superstition
For several days in a row.
Lu Weiguo and his companion were both on and off the mountain, covering almost all the mountainous areas near the county town.
The two were used to climbing mountains, so this short distance wasn't too tiring for them.
It's just that the lynx Wangcai has been wronged.
To get smaller wild animals to go elsewhere.
They gather in a certain area.
Wangcai has been eating and drinking excessively these past two days, leaving droppings and urination everywhere.
Neither of them could descend the mountain until their urine turned white each day.
This made Wangcai feel listless every day, especially as soon as he put down his arms.
They would subconsciously find a tree root to urinate under.
It's no different from a little dog that claims its territory everywhere.
But the real retaliation has only just begun on the other side!
It was pretty much as Lu Weiguo had predicted.
When Qian Duolai wanted to flee, his first thought was to cross the border.
This is enough to prove that the Qian family has an unusual relationship with the border defense.
It's unclear whether someone was planted inside or if there were any vested interests involved.
Starting the next day, border passes will be checked twice a year, provided they have already been checked.
It has spread on a very large scale.
Starting from the border, the project gradually advances towards the county seat.
When they found Mrs. Chang's house, they immediately discovered the problem with the address on the border pass for Lu Bao's entire family.
But after all, they are neighboring villages, and the two villages are only about an hour's journey apart.
Unable to find any problems, the border guards could only make a record and did not linger for long.
However, only one day later...
Members of the temporary anti-feudal superstition office organized by the county government rushed to Old Mrs. Chang's village.
With a clear objective, the group, carrying banners and outlining their demands, drove directly to Mrs. Chang's house.
At this time.
Mrs. Chang was inside treating a child who cried every night.
The room was full of people, all listening attentively as Mrs. Chang analyzed the reasons.
Lu Baojia stood behind her, while Qiu Ling held a small copper gong and knelt in the circle in the courtyard, burning paper money.
"Where is this family? Come out! Someone reported you for engaging in feudal superstition."
The car had just stopped.
The sound entered the room before the person.
"who?!!"
Lu went outside and loudly inquired about the price.
A middle-aged man sitting inside frowned in displeasure at being disturbed.
"Anti-feudal superstition office! These are our credentials. Were you involved too? You two, come here and arrest this kid!"
And that little girl in the courtyard! Burning paper money? What, are you afraid your dead family member will starve to death down there if you don't burn enough?!
That's all feudal superstition! Let me tell you, once someone is dead, no matter how many burials you make, it's not as good as being filial while they were alive!
This group of people clearly had a strong target!
They wouldn't listen to Lu Baojia's explanation.
Without saying a word, they grabbed his hands, pinned them behind his back, and forcibly dragged him into the car.
"Let go of me!! What kind of feudal superstition is this! Have you arrested the wrong person?!"
Lu Baojia struggled incessantly. He was originally a farmer, and his physical condition was much better than those who sat in offices.
For a moment, he was a little out of control.
"Still resisting? If you resist, your crime will be compounded! Do you believe I'll execute you right now?!"
"You've arrested the wrong people? Are you kidding me! We've arrested you all!"
The leader bore a striking resemblance to several of the young men surrounding Zhang Benmo.
A string of fat, a shrill voice, and every word he spoke was full of confidence.
"Waaaaah!!"
Inside the house, the baby who had just fallen asleep was awakened by the shout.
It was struggling in a woman's arms, its voice was hoarse and its hands were waving around, it was clearly frightened!
"Who is it! I finally fell asleep, and now you've woken my granddaughter up again! Baomin, aren't you going to go check it out!"
The woman was furious, her face flushed red, and in an instant, her ears looked as if she had drunk something.
"I'll go take a look."
"No need, I'll go. It sounds like they're here to arrest me. You're guests, it's not appropriate for you to go to this kind of scene."
Mrs. Chang waved her hand to stop her, and then sighed.
With no one around to help her, she had to use her crutches to force herself to stand up.
Then, little by little, they walked towards the door.
"Where is he? Is this the only one? Search! Hurry up and go inside and search!"
The leader has a mission; how can he succeed by only capturing one person?
But as soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Chang blocked the door.
At this point, the doorway was only about one person wide, and since Old Mrs. Chang was using a cane, they didn't dare to force their way in!
The person who came was also taken aback when he saw Old Mrs. Chang.
This little old lady is quite famous, and she used to live in the county town for a period of time.
At that time, almost everyone in the county had heard of her name.
These days, medical conditions are poor and medicines are expensive. Besides, with so many people in the family, who can avoid getting sick or having a mishap?
The person who came had obviously been to Mrs. Chang's house as well.
Even the people following behind her were asked by Old Mrs. Chang to look after the children at home.
"You've made a mistake in arresting people for feudal superstition. We don't have feudal superstition here. I'm just an old lady."
"I've seen a lot of people like that; they just take advantage of their old age to treat the locals."
Mrs. Chang spoke slowly and deliberately, and was not afraid.
Although in this day and age, there's no such thing as an elderly person extorting money from others.
But who would dare to use force against an octogenarian or 90-year-old?
"You...you old lady, don't try to act tough just because you're old! We have a mission here."
"If you don't spread feudal superstition, why are you still burning paper money in the yard?"
The leader's momentum had clearly weakened by half, but he still stepped forward.
Does he believe in Mrs. Chang's teachings?
letter!
You believed it too much!
The higher one's status, the more people they believe in.
Is it okay for the doorway to face the tables and chairs?
Should there be a bookshelf behind the chair?
Many people even hesitate before taking the first step into the office.
Don't think this is a joke.
The fact that some theories have survived to this day indicates that they contain some scientific basis.
"My granddaughter isn't very bright, and all she likes to do is burn things for fun? That won't do!"
Old Mrs. Chang tapped her cane, and an inexplicable aura emanated from her.
Startled, the group immediately released their grip on Qiu Ling.
Qiu Ling didn't care and continued kneeling on the ground, putting yellow paper into the fire.
"You! That's just making excuses! If you have something to say, come to the police station. You're an old woman, don't force us to use force."
"Get out of my way so I can go in and see if there's anyone else. Otherwise, with your build, once you get to our station, the first thing we'll do is prepare a coffin for you!"
The leader, at this point, stopped pretending and made threats.
Their words implied that they wanted to arrest someone else.
Especially considering Old Mrs. Chang's status, they really didn't dare to make any rash moves.
A person who, after experiencing turbulent times, still enjoys a great reputation.
They really don't believe that you can escape capture in those days without some kind of skill!
"Aunt Chang, you should know me too." After saying that, the leader lowered his head and whispered, "I'm just going through the motions, grabbing a few people to take back and report."
"I'll personally send him back to you after this is all over, okay?"
