Qin Qi frowned slightly, and quietly lifted the bucket.

Open the door and go out.

After the dog barked, there was no movement, and there was still silence in the mountain village.

The lights were gone, and it was dark, and the courtyards were like beasts hidden in the dark.

Qin Qi glanced at it, then walked to the well, took off his clothes, and poured a bucket of water on his head.

After a few buckets of water, the heat of the body began to fade.

The body also began to relax.

Qin Qi brought another bucket of spring cool water up, raised his head and drank a few big sips.

After a few more hours of pranayama, the surge in the body was completely calmed down.

After getting dressed again, Qin Qi glanced at Widow Zhang's house, re-instilled hot water, and closed the door casually.

Seeing Gu Xinyue hugging the thin quilt curled up into a ball, she already let out a slight snoring sound.

Qin Qi didn't feel it, took a handkerchief dipped in hot water, gently coaxed the bad girl who didn't want to be tossed, wiped her body, and let her fall asleep.

She was already sleepy in the spring, but she got up early today, ran to Guazhou, and then walked from the ferry, she was tired.

His massage book also has a soothing effect.

Coupled with the tossing just now, the force she used should not be small.

It is also natural to fall asleep so quickly.

Qin Qi cleaned up the room, then went to bed too, and sat against the head of the bed, one long leg bent up, and the other straight, so that the person who automatically leaned over as soon as he came up could sleep more peacefully.

With his hand caressing her back, looking at her sleeping baby-like face, Qin Qi laughed a little.

His eyes slowly closed.

Fall into a light sleep.

It was just a hand, still clasping lightly on the hilt of the sword he had placed beside him.

When the barking of the dog in the distance suddenly appeared, Qin Qi's eyes opened.

There is no tiredness anymore.

It is clear and transparent, with a hint of cruelty.

A dog barked, and it didn't take long for the village to bark.

A terrible scream followed.

Qin Qi stretched out his hand and blocked Gu Xinyue's ears.

Only the sound kept ringing, Gu Xinyue shook her head, and was still woken up.

After a stirring spirit, he sat up violently and said, "Something's wrong?" ”

"Well, let's take a look." As soon as Qin Qi's legs stretched, he got out of bed, took Gu Xinyue's coat from the side and handed it to her.

When they came, they didn't bring their baggage, and they didn't change their clothes to lead to speculation, and they were wearing old clothes.

Gu Xinyue put on a set of clothes, thinking that this one should be able to be buttoned with a rope, Qin Qi had already reached out with a smile to tie her clothes, tidied them up, and then straightened her hair.

Then he took her hand and opened the door.

A light lit up in the village, and amid the noise of people, a ray of light came to Widow Zhang's house.

And there were two torches in front of Widow Zhang's house, shining on the two people who were lying in front of the door.

Qin Qi led Gu Xinyue and walked over quickly, and when he got closer, he saw clearly that one of the two was a short man, and the other was the brother of the sister-in-law.

In the courtyard, Widow Zhang was holding a kitchen knife, Liu was standing at the door with a hoe, Dahua was holding a big broom, and Xiaohua was standing a little behind with two scissors.

At the door of the rearmost room, a shriveled old man squatted.

He had a carving knife in his hand.

Seeing Qin Qi and Gu Xinyue coming, Widow Zhang didn't know why she was relieved, and hurriedly opened the courtyard door and said, "Be careful of your step." ”

Qin Qi glanced at the several beast traps placed at the door of the courtyard, and then at the two people whose legs were almost broken, the corners of his lips hooked, and he led Gu Xinyue to bypass from the side.

This widow seems to have a lot of experience in fighting.

Even this kind of thing is there.

But why are there only these two people at the door?

Not long after the two entered the courtyard, the group of people in the village also arrived at the door, and the first person shouted: "Big Flower Niang, Old Liu? ”

"Be careful!" The other grabbed him and said, "On the ground! Ground! ”

Under the light of the fire, more than a dozen men in the village could be seen.

Widow Zhang's heart was relieved, and she hurriedly opened the courtyard door and said, "Wait for me to put it away, these gang of killers with a thousand knives!" It's really the idea of beating Lao Liu's head! ”

Someone outside also helped put away a few animal traps and put them aside, and then pushed a person who was bundled into a rice dumpling in, and said: "This person broke into Lao Liu Tou's house, fortunately, Dahua Niang, you woke up, but we were arrested." ”

That person was another brother of Zhang's sister-in-law.

Widow Zhang took a sip and said, "The black-hearted guy, his own fellow villagers are also doing this kind of poison!" ”

Old man Liu took over a valuable job, and everyone in the village knew that although he hadn't seen what the jade looked like, he also knew that the jade was worth a lot.

It's definitely not something that a villager like them can imagine.

And they know the rules of the jade craftsman, if they lose the things of the master's family, they will not only have to compensate for the original price, but also cut off their hands and feet.

There are two surnames in Xiaopozi Village, one is Zhang and the other is Liu, and everyone is related.

No matter how much the salary of the red-eyed old Liu Tou was ten taels of silver, no one said that he had the idea of beating the jade piece.

That's a human life!

When Widow Zhang went to tell the people around Lao Liu, they couldn't believe it.

Why can't this Zhang Daqing's family do such a thing?

Widow Zhang had no choice but to secretly take Lao Liu Tou and the stunned son to her house, and then put down the trap at Lao Liu Tou's house.

I waited until late at night and didn't move, thinking that I was too careful, but I heard a dog barking.

The trap placed by Widow Zhang not only caused a dog to bark, but the dogs in the surrounding yards all barked.

There are many dogs in the village, and one barking will not be good, but a few barking can attract all the dogs.

The people around him were woken up, and a stirring spirit remembered what Widow Zhang had said.

When he went out with the guy, the sister-in-law Zhang's brother pounced on the door of Lao Liu's house and smashed the door open.

Look at his dress again, there is something I don't know.

Only then did he arrest someone and go to Widow Zhang's house to see.

Seeing that there was Zhang Daqing in the two at the door, he kicked it directly in anger.

After kicking twice, I felt that something was wrong, and I looked around, and someone said, "What about the gang that came with them?" ”

There are so many people, if it is a robbery, there should not be only these three.

"Hehe, I advise you not to meddle in your business, you should not see it!" Sister-in-law Zhang's eldest brother laughed gloomily and said: "Hurry back to your own house, for the sake of us being villagers, we won't embarrass you, you just remember that it was this stranger who robbed Lao Liu's things!" ”

"Fuck your shit!" Widow Zhang scolded angrily, and pulled an ear scraper: "You still want to threaten us!" You are a bully in our Xiaopozi Village. ”

"It's a bully." With a cold voice, more than a dozen people slowly walked out of the darkness.

All of them were dressed in black, and they did not carry torches, only the light of the swords in their hands glittered in the darkness.

The first person said: "Ah, let you see us, this is not easy to do, it seems that Xiaopozi Village is going to lure wolves into the village because of the greed for the money of those embroideries, and the village is slaughtered by the strangers!" ”
