Everyone had been out for a while, but didn't see Xiaobao follow up. Li Shu couldn't help but loudly call him. After half a sound, Xiaobao slowly walked out. Everyone saw his appearance and couldn't help but laugh: Xiaobao hadn't come out for a long time because he knew he was going to leave home, so he went to pack his things. Although it was an ordinary family, he had a lot of things. He carried two large packages on his back, which were bulging with unknown contents. In his left hand, he held a wooden horse carved from wood, and in his right hand, he held a small red-lacquered stool. A bow hung around his neck, and several feathered arrows were inserted into his collar!

  Li Huai turned around and saw the bulging luggage that Xiao Bao was carrying, and he wanted to scold him a few words. He opened his mouth, let out a sigh, and closed it again! His name is Li Kaiming, the only son of the family, who has been living with his parents since he got married. After marrying his wife, they had two sons and two daughters. When the Japanese invaded, his parents, wife, and two daughters all died in the war. Later, his eldest son Li Zhen Shan was also killed by the Japanese. Now he only has Xiao Bao left, but unfortunately, Xiao Bao is mentally handicapped from birth. Although he is already 20 years old, he will always be like a 7 or 8-year-old child!

  Ji Longfei saw Xiao Bao's tender and slightly clumsy figure, his heart felt a bit sour. He also noticed that Xiao Bao had some intellectual problems, so he swept his gaze over everyone and said: "I suddenly realized I'm a jinx, through these few days of experience, it proves that no matter where I go, I'll bring trouble and disaster to others!"

  Liu Fu was taken aback and said in a bewildered tone: "Young master, how can you view yourself like this? Such words will bring bad luck!"

  Xiao Ru also chimed in: "Yes, brother-in-law, don't talk nonsense! Let's go, when it gets light later, we'll leave the city and those scoundrels won't be able to find us!"

  Jade Dragon let out a sigh, shifted his body to the side, and after they passed by, said: "You don't know what I've been through these past few days! From the day... from the day I got injured, it's as if I'm being haunted by evil spirits. Everyone who has been with me has ended up in a miserable state!" He originally wanted to say that from the day you were shot and killed, we've had nothing but bad luck, but since everyone had already cleared up the misunderstanding, he didn't dare speak directly.

  Li Kaisan, who was already ill, burst out with astonishing strength when the enemy attacked. After things calmed down, he let out a mouthful of air and his legs went soft, making it difficult for him to walk. He could only move forward with the support of Liu Fu and Xiao Ru. At this time, upon hearing Gu Longfei's words, a surge of heroic spirit rose up again, and he said loudly: "A great man living in the world, wealth and honor are in heaven, life and death are by fate, why so many worries!" He saw that Gu Longfei was only in his early twenties, still young, with a gentle appearance, and doing things indecisively, which made him somewhat dissatisfied.

  Jade Dragon heard Li Kaisan say this, seeing that they didn't understand his thoughts, could only secretly sigh in his heart, and it wasn't good to say anything else. He nodded, took the two bundles on Xiaobao's back, and said: "Let's go!"

  A group of people walked for a while, and in the distance, they saw that the city gate was open. There were sentry posts lined up beside the gate, with Japanese soldiers holding big guns, checking one by one the common people entering and exiting. At this time, the sky had already brightened up, but it was still gray and hazy. Most of the people entering the city were country folk carrying vegetables to sell, with baskets, shoulder poles, donkeys, and ox carts all mixed together, crowded and noisy!

  The dragon saw this situation, his heart was excited, the more people, the more chaotic it seemed, the Japanese inspection was not so careful, and it was easy to get out. Li Kai-shan had been in and out of the city for who knows how many times, but he still followed the same path, only seeing a faint smile on his mouth, gently pushing Liu Fu and Xiao Ru away, standing firmly with both feet, taking a deep breath, slowly walking towards the door. If he let Xiao Ru and Liu Fu support him, it would inevitably attract the attention of the Japanese soldiers, relying on himself to walk out, although it was more difficult, but it wouldn't arouse suspicion!

  As expected, they were wrapped in the crowd and left the city smoothly, without arousing any suspicion from the guarding soldiers. Leaving the city to the north, not far away was a small village, which was Liu Fu's home. At this time, the women in the village had all gotten up, washed their faces, poured water into the iron pot, lit a fire, and put it in the stove to cook breakfast for the family. The chimney that stretched high above the roof of the house curved and curled out smoke, making people feel warm and cozy.

  Liu Fu pointed to a distant house with green tiles and said to Gu Longfei: "Young master, do you still remember? That's my home! Hehe, at that time, my family lived in a thatched hut. Thanks to your generous donation, we were able to build this brick house, which looks quite impressive!"

  "Oh, really?" Gu Longfei had no memory of this at all, but he believed that Liu Fu was telling the truth. Before he lost his memory, he had made a lot of money by selling intelligence and working as a translator at Lihe Trading Company, where his boss, Davis, paid him a high salary. So what's the big deal about owning such a small house? However, everything about trading intelligence was told to him by Murong Ding and Liu Fu, and he himself couldn't remember anything! One thing that didn't make sense was where did all the money he made go? When he left home, he had turned over every cabinet and box in the house, but hadn't found a large sum of money.

  At this time, a horseshoe sound came from afar, and when I looked up, it was coming from the direction of the village where Liu Fu's family lived! The horseshoe sound went from far to near, and about five or six horses rushed over face-to-face.

  There is only one road here, and it's not very spacious. Everyone quickly moved to the side to avoid being knocked over by these horsemen! Liu Fu looked at this group of riders with a puzzled expression and asked curiously: "What are these people doing? What did they come to our village for?" Because he knew that their village only had five or six households, except for him making a living outside, they were all honest farmers. No one in the village raised horses, nor had anyone heard of anyone having relatives who raised horses. So who were these people?

  These men rode horses and galloped swiftly, soon arriving before our eyes. The riders on the horses were all dressed in black, with short guns inserted at their waists and a large knife slanted on their backs. The red scabbard on the hilt of the knife fluttered in the morning wind, looking majestic and awe-inspiring. However, they all had their faces covered, making it impossible to discern their features!

  When the riders arrived at Gu Longfei's side, not only did they not slow down to avoid accidentally colliding with pedestrians on the narrow road, but the leader actually raised his whip and struck the horse's buttocks with great force. The horse felt pain, exerted itself, and galloped past like the wind. The people behind followed suit, whipping their mounts, which also accelerated under the lash, flying away in an instant. In front of Gu Longfei and the others, a yellow cloud of dust rose up, kicked up by the horses' hooves, causing everyone to cover their mouths and dodge.

  Li Kaisan coughed for a while and angrily said, "What kind of people are these? They're so lawless, riding horses and rushing about wildly. What if they trample someone?"

  After Gu Longfei and the horse group passed by, he felt a sense of unease in his heart and said to Liu Fu: "Let's go, let's take a look at your home first!" After finishing speaking, he left Li Kaisan and others behind, directly pulled Liu Fu's hand, and walked towards the village. Liu Fu saw that these people were leaving in a hurry, and he also felt something was wrong in his heart. Gu Longfei's expression made him even more flustered, and he hastily rushed home with quick steps.

  When they rushed to Liu Fu's home, they were stunned by the scene in front of them! With the help of Gu Longfei, Liu Fu had built a house and later followed Gu Longfei into the intelligence world, helping him deliver information and earning a lot of money. He dug a large pond in front of his house and built a wall around it. At this time, they walked to the entrance of the courtyard, only to see that the gate was wide open, and they rushed in a few steps. They saw that the surface of the pond was dark red, with several people floating on the water. Looking at their clothes, they looked like Liu Fu's wife and children.

  Liu Fu was greatly shocked and, without even removing his clothes or shoes, jumped into the pond with a splash. The water in the pond was waist-deep, and after Liu Fu got in, his chest was immediately submerged in water, making it difficult for him to move around. He struggled to take a few steps forward and stretched out his hand to turn over a person who was floating face down in the water. To his surprise, it was Ah Gui, the long-term hired laborer of his family!

  Jade Dragon saw the situation, took a few steps to the other side of the pond, hastily removed his shoes and coat, and jumped in. His stature was slightly taller than Liu Fu's, and he walked a little further into the water. He approached a middle-aged woman floating face up and a young boy, although he didn't recognize them (or rather, couldn't remember), but guessed they were Liu Fu's wife and son. With one hand on each of them, he pulled them to the edge of the water, then separately lifted them out and placed them side by side on the shore.

  At this time, Liu Fu also pulled Ah Kui to the shore, and after putting Ah Kui on the ground, he rushed over with a splash. He saw that his wife and son's faces were pale, their clothes were all wet, and there was still red blood flowing out from their necks and chests. His heart felt a sharp pain, and his legs could no longer stand firm, and he fell softly beside them.

  The dragonfly flew away, and with a few rough breaths, it reached out to touch the noses of the two people. It felt a chill in its hand and no breath at all, knowing that they were dead. Shaking its head and sighing, it thought that all this was brought upon them by itself, just as it had predicted earlier. Therefore, it considered itself a jinx, bringing misfortune and disaster wherever it went.
