Chapter 736: Chapter 736: Fleeing Famine 41

Ever since Geng Dalin found out that Old Huo was his real uncle, he would secretly leave a bowl of rice and a bowl of food every night and deliver it under the cover of darkness.

Geng Dalin also shared with his uncle the hardships his mother had endured over the years raising two sons, which brought Huo Guochang to tears several times.

On New Year’s Eve, Geng Dalin wanted to secretly bring his uncle home to celebrate the New Year together, but after Yuan Chun smacked him on the back of his head a few times, he gave up on the idea.

Nevertheless, Geng Dalin still secretly hid a large bowl of braised pork and fish, along with a large bowl of rice and delivered them to the barn for Old Huo to eat.

Outwardly, he was expressing gratitude to Old Huo for saving his two daughters’ lives.

Therefore, the people in the barn also believed he was being thankful and were unaware of the relationship between Huo Guochang and the Old Geng Family.

But on New Year’s Eve, Old Yang broke out of jail.

He broke out together with Mrs. Yang.

On the first day of the new year, officers from the Public Security Bureau came to Fengling Village to announce the news and specifically called Yuan Chun over to remind her to keep a close eye on her children.

The officers were concerned that Old Yang might still attempt to kill the Geng Family.

But the officers didn’t know that this time, Yuan Chun wouldn’t let Old Yang get away.

Although she sympathized with the Yang family’s ruin dragged down by Su Jingshan, Old Yang’s intent to annihilate the innocent Old Geng Family was too much.

Old Yang already avenged the Yang Family by killing the Yao Family, and he shouldn’t have included the innocent Old Geng Family.

The Old Geng Family had nothing to do with the Yang Family’s massacre, their deaths were unwarranted.

At night, after everyone at home fell asleep, Yuan Chun put on a cotton jacket, slapped an invisibility talisman on herself, and went outside.

"007, guide me to Old Yang’s location," Yuan Chun instructed.

"Okay, Host."

quickly navigated the way.

Old Yang hadn’t fled far; he and Mrs. Yang were hiding in a secret room in a house in the county, where there was a bed, food, and a burning wall keeping it warm, and Old Yang was soundly asleep.

Suddenly, thunder roared through the sky, booming loudly, and a lightning bolt as thick as a wash basin struck the rooftop of a house.

The thunder dragon pierced the roof, hitting the floor.

One bolt after another.

The third bolt pierced the floor, entered through the cracks, and struck Old Yang in the secret room.

Awoken by the thunderclap and panicking, Old Yang instantly turned into a pile of ashes.

Mrs. Yang rolled her eyes and fainted.

The thunder startled many people awake.

Thunder on New Year’s was an unusual event, but the sound was so loud that people didn’t dare go outside; they stayed by the window to watch.

When the thunder stopped, people came out and ran to the house struck by lightning to watch the spectacle, and someone reported it to the police. When the officers arrived, they immediately arrested the family living there upon finding Mrs. Yang.

Subsequently, the Public Security Bureau’s investigation results reached the Old Geng Family.

It turned out that the household with the Yang surname belonged to Old Yang’s son. Old Yang married before leaving the Yao family and killed many Yao people. For fear of the crime being exposed, he secretly sent his eldest son to his adoptive parents after birth.

Outwardly, he claimed his eldest son died of illness.

Later, the second and third sons were also sent to the adoptive parents under various excuses.

Until the birth of the fourth son, when Old Yang had killed off the Yao family, he finally kept the fourth son with him, but he never brought back the first, second, and third sons sent away earlier.
