Chapter 484 - I Do Not Need Cowards
Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. In Xiandong Village, in the early morning, people were seen preparing for the festival. Chuntao hung the calamus and wormwood at the entrance door to their house to ward off the evil. Huo Jin was weaving a bamboo hat for him when Chuntao told him that she would do that.

"Oh! That's sad to hear. Why are they not allowed to have food and water? Isn't this inhumane treatment?" Chuntao complained.
"I thought the same. The head of the family killed his master, so his entire family is forced to die by not having food and water," asserted Huo Jin and sighed.
"But, brother, if you give them
