Chapter 1101: Something Big Happened

For the sake of caution, they had thought of an excuse to look for Zhou Jingui first, so Shao Qingyuan also carried a bow and arrow on his back.

However, the old woman frowned, as if she didn’t want to get into trouble.

Seeing this, Gu Yundong quickly took more than ten copper coins and stuffed them into her hands. “Aunt, help me.”

The old woman’s expression changed. She put away the copper coins and turned to lead them into the village.

Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

It was indeed rare to see anyone along the way. For the sake of the ten copper coins, the old woman said, “Something happened to Zhou Jingui’s family today. I advise you to come another day if you’re not in a hurry.”

“What happened?”

“You’ve seen it along the way. There’s no one in the village. Everyone just ran to Zhou Jingui’s house to watch the commotion. That family…” She stopped halfway.

Gu Yundong knew that this old lady was a person who would rather be carefree. She knew this from the moment she brought his daughter-in-law home.

Hence, she did not ask further, but her footsteps could not help but become more hurried.

After walking for a while, the old woman pointed not far away and said, “Do you see that? That door is filled with people. It’s Zhou Jingui’s house. Go over yourself. I won’t go.”

With that, she turned around and left.

“Thank you, Auntie.”

“What are you thanking me for? I’m just leading the way.”

The old woman waved her hand and quickly walked away.

Only then did Gu Yundong and his wife continue to walk towards Zhou Jingui’s house. Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, they suddenly realized that the group of people had moved.

The villagers who were originally standing outside the Zhou family’s door to watch the show stepped aside and let the people inside come out.

Gu Yundong did not recognize anyone. From their cries and their distinct appearance, they should be from the Chang and Zhou families. The two elders in front looked like the patriarchs of the two families.

Beside one of the chiefs was a middle-aged man. Gu Yundong heard someone call… Uncle Jingui.

“Could that be Zhou Jingui?” Gu Yundong looked up. “I wonder if Youngest Uncle is among these people.”

Zhou Jingui was Xiaoni’s uncle. It seemed like something big had happened to her uncle’s family. The other villagers were all here, so Xiaoni and Gu Xiaoxi should be here too.

However, they did not see Gu Xiaoxi after looking for a long time.

The two of them could only try their best to reduce their presence as they followed behind this group of people and listened to the excited voices of the crowd.

However, their clothes were different from the villagers’. A few villagers at the back sized them up curiously and asked, “Who are you?”

“Oh, we went to the nearby mountains to hunt. We passed by Great Rock Village and felt a little thirsty, so we wanted to enter the village to ask for a glass of water. In the end, we saw that there was no one in the village. We only heard a big commotion here, so we came over to take a look. What… happened?”

That person was probably not from the Zhou family or the Chang family, so he said with a hint of excitement, “Damn, you still don’t know, right? A couple committed adultery and was caught by the man’s wife. Coincidentally, the woman is from the Chang family and the man is from the Zhou family. Didn’t the two families quarrel? That couple has been locked up in the ancestral hall for two days. The two families have finally discussed a solution and are going to settle them now.”

Adultery between a man and a woman? Furthermore, it was between the Zhou and Chang clans, which were like fire and water. This…
