Chapter 139 Injustice
According to Nangong Min, if everything goes smoothly, it will take another three to five days to reach the Immortal Town at the foot of Nangong Shenzong Mountain.
Ever since they killed the people sent by Su Yu in a forest 30 miles away from Luoyun County that day, the two of them have not noticed any trace of anyone tracking them in the past few days.
No matter what the reason was, Mu Jin felt that it was still something worth being happy about.
Mu Jin and Nangong Min have been running around in the mountains and fields, eating and sleeping in the past few days.
Nangong Min, who had been traveling with his parents since he was a child and was used to staying in the mountains, didn't think it was a big deal, but he felt sorry for Mu Jin, so today he suggested that when they passed the next town, they go into the city at night.
Mu Jin was naturally very happy about Nangong Min's suggestion. After all, she was exhausted after running around for days. If she could go into the city and find an inn to have a good rest for a night, it would undoubtedly be much more comfortable than sleeping in the mountains.
Mu Jin asked: "How long will it take to reach the next town?"
Nangong Min replied: "I'm afraid it will take another two or three hours."
"It will take two or three hours. I'm afraid that when we get to the next town, the gates will be closed. How can we enter the city?"
Nangong Min smiled and said, "I'll take Ah Jin and fly in with him using Qinggong, okay?"
Mu Jin smiled and replied, "Very good."
Nangong Min looked at the joy in Mu Jin's eyes and couldn't help but feel happy too.
Thinking about being able to stay in the inn tonight, taking a hot bath, and sleeping on a soft bed, Mu Jin didn't want to wait a moment longer. She gripped the whip tightly, and with a flick of her wrist, the whip struck the agile horse with a sound of wind.
The horse under him seemed to feel Mu Jin's urging. It neighed loudly, and galloped across the mountains and fields at full speed.
Two hours later, when the two arrived at the mountain outside Liangcheng, they could still see sparse lights in the city.
As the two rushed down the mountain, they suddenly heard a hoarse voice like an old woman crying in the empty forest, making the hot night seem a little eerie and scary.
Nangong Min and Mu Jin were both martial artists and were very sensitive to the sound of a slap. At first, they both thought they had heard it wrong. But when the sound got closer, Mu Jin grabbed the reins of the horse and looked at Nangong Min with some fear.
"Min, did I hear wrong?"
Nangong Min shook his head. When the two of them stopped, the crying became clearer. The crying could only be described as heartbreaking and extremely miserable.
Mu Jin is an atheist, but she also firmly believes that there are some things that cannot be explained by modern science, such as her traveling through time. What if they really encounter something dirty...
Thinking of this, Mu Jin tightened his grip on the horse and couldn't help but move closer to Nangong Min.
Nangong Min saw that Mu Jin was afraid, so he pulled out one hand, held Mu Jin's hand, and told her not to be afraid.
The two men rode their horses forward. Suddenly, they saw a dark figure lying in front of a grave and crying.
Mu Jin was stunned again.
Nangong Min looked at Mu Jin and said, "Don't be afraid, Jin. There must be an old man crying over there."
Mu Jin looked in the direction of the sound and found that the eerie crying sound came from the black shadow in front of him.
Mu Jin has always been very vigilant, whether it was because he was working as an agent in the real world or because he was hunted by Su Yu's men not long ago.
She said to Nangong Min: "Why don't we rush over on horseback? In case it's someone from the palace, we'd better be cautious."
Nangong Min didn't think she looked like Su Yu. When he heard the old woman's voice, he couldn't help but think of his grandmother, which made him feel a little sorry.
"If you're scared, you can wait here. I'll go over and see what's going on."
Mu Jin frowned. During this period, she was more inclined to the principle of minding her own business to save her life, but seeing that Nangong Min was determined to leave, it was difficult for her to stop him.
Mu Jin watched Nangong Min riding his horse forward, and she chose to follow him.
When they arrived next to the black shadow, Nangong Min jumped off the carriage first, and Mu Jin followed behind.
Nangong Min approached the crying old woman.
"Auntie, why are you still here so late?"
The old man seemed not to hear what Nangong Min asked and continued crying.
The two looked at each other again, then turned to look around and discovered that there were mass graves nearby.
Mu Jin moved closer to Nangong Min and muttered, "Why are there so many mass graves outside the city?"
Nangong Min turned around and held Mu Jin's hand.
"Normally, in a small city like Liangcheng, the people don't live well, and there was a plague last year. I guess the people buried here are all poor people, or dead bodies that were unclaimed and buried here by the government. Over time, it has become a mass grave."
After hearing Nangong Min say this, Mu Jin nodded in understanding.
The old woman in front of me can cry here, there must be someone of hers buried in the grave.
Nangong Min walked to the old man, slowly squatted down, and spoke patiently again.
"Old man, it's late now. It's not safe at night. Where is your home? Can we take you home?"
At this moment, the old woman who suddenly heard the voice was startled. She realized there was someone around her. Slowly, she stopped crying and turned to look at Nangong Min and Mu Jin with tears in her eyes.
Seeing Mu Jin and Nangong Min, the old woman instinctively curled up in fear.
When the old woman used the night light to look carefully at the two people in front of her, she realized that Mu Jin and Nangong Min did not look like evil people, so she dragged her legs, hugged Nangong Min's legs and cried.
"Kindhearted people, can you please help save my poor wife?"
Nangong Min asked: "What happened to your wife, where is she now?"
The old woman cried, "This morning, bandits from the mountains broke into my house and tried to take my daughter-in-law away. My son stepped forward to stop them, but was killed by the bandits. In the end, my son died, and my poor daughter-in-law was also taken away."
After the old woman told this sad story, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Mu Jin and Nangong Min were both shocked when they heard the old woman say this.
Nangong Min asked: "Then why didn't you go to the government to file a complaint? Ask the government to help you rescue your wife?"
The old woman wiped her tears and snot with her sleeve and said, "These bandits are rampant. Things like this have happened frequently in recent years. The magistrate of this town is Li Quangui. He bought his position. Li Quangui not only extorts money from the people, but also helps those who have more money when the people are wronged."
"Today, I went to the government office to file a complaint. Not only did they not give me justice, but the bailiffs there also broke my legs and threw me into the street."
When the two heard what the old woman said, they frowned. It seemed that Liangcheng was not peaceful.
