Xie Xiang originally wanted to salute this bull-headed and horse-faced jailer, but he didn't expect that this Lin Tou had already turned around and walked forward, and said in a commanding tone as he walked.

After walking dozens of steps, Lin Tou suddenly stopped in front of a cell, scooped up the large set of keys from his waist, identified them for a while before taking out one, stabbed it in and twisted it a few times, and the lock of the cell was opened.

Lin Tou took off the door lock and said to Xie Xiang and Ai Ye very loudly: "Come in and take a look, don't make a loud noise, there is not much time, you must come out quickly when you hear me shouting, otherwise not only will you have a disaster,." It will also affect me and Master Li! ”

Xie Xiang hurriedly nodded in agreement, Ai Ye didn't care much about it for a long time, and pushed open the door of the cell with one palm and rushed in.

"Grandpa......"

Ai Ye cried a little sadly and Xie Xiang was a little busy, just now this Lin Tou still ordered not to scream loudly, Xie Xiang was afraid that Ai Ye's child would not scruple much, and it was too late to be polite with Lin Tou anymore, so he hurriedly followed in.

Walking into this dark cell, Xie Xiang felt the crampedness of the space; Fortunately, Lin Tou suddenly walked in again, carrying an oil lamp like a bean in his hand, he didn't say anything, he hung the oil lamp on the lamp stand of the cell with a blank face, and went straight out and closed the door of the cell.

Feeling Lin Tou send an oil lamp in, Ai Ye instinctively endured his sadness, he had already seen that the old man lying on the floor of the cell seemed to have lost his breath was the grandfather he had been thinking about for a long time.

Although he couldn't really see it when he first rushed in, his grandfather's figure was so familiar to him that he could recognize it at a glance in the dimness.

"Artemisia...... Don't cry. ”

Xie Xiang said in a low voice, with a hint of request. To tell the truth, he is actually not familiar with Li Laohan, who has only one-sided acquaintances, and Xie Xiang is really not sure whether the person lying on the ground in front of him is Li Laohan.

However, in Ai Ye's sad voice, Xie Xiang estimated that it might be.

He also knelt down with Ai Ye beside the dying old man on the ground.

Ai Ye was sensible and couldn't hold back his crying, and the two of them worked together to carefully help the old man on the ground who seemed to have lost his breath to sit up.

"Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa......"

"Uncle, uncle, uncle......"

Ai Ye couldn't stop crying again, Xie Xiang finally saw clearly that this old man who described the withered old man was really Ai Ye's grandfather, the old man Li, the herb picker.

"Ai Ye, whisper ......"

Xie Xiang hurriedly tried it on Old Man Li's snort with the back of his hand, and there was still a faint snort, so he hurriedly whispered to Ai Ye, who was crying bitterly.

Xie Xiang was very anxious, and he also understood why Li Zhutou said that he wanted them to come in first and have a look before discussing.

Obviously, Ai Ye's grandfather was outnumbered and suffered a great loss in the process of fighting and robbing with those officials, and then he was imprisoned in this dark cell.

Therefore, Li Zhutou felt that it was no longer necessary to spend a lot of money on money, so he asked Old Man Li's grandson to go into the cell to see him, and then wait for the government to notify him of the collection of the body.

"Grandpa, grandpa, wake up, I'm Ai Ye, I saved you, grandpa, what's wrong with you? Who tortured you like this? ”

Ai Ye was so crying that he was almost out of breath, Xie Xiang couldn't help but shed tears, and couldn't help but bring the filthy old man Li close to his arms.

After a long time, whenever he thought of this scene, Xie Xiang felt very admired himself, he turned out to be such a clean and pretending to be a dick, and in a certain situation, he would involuntarily return to the most natural nature of people.

Suddenly, Xie Xiang felt that the old man Li in his arms seemed to move slightly.

"Ai Ye, come on, grandpa has woken up."

Xie Xiang was very happy, I hope this old man didn't lose his breath, otherwise leaving Ai Ye would be a tragedy in the world.

"Grandpa, grandpa, open your eyes and see, I'm Ai Ye, I'm your grandson Ai Ye!"

Ai Ye suddenly grabbed his grandfather's thin arms tightly and cried vigorously.

Xie Xiang wanted to stop Ai Ye from shouting so loudly again, but he thought about it or gave up.

Maybe Ai Ye's loud shouting can wake up Old Man Li?

"Grandpa......"

Ai Ye's surprised and happy voice told Xie Xiang that Old Man Li really opened his eyes slowly and miraculously.

Old man Li, who opened his eyes, looked straight at his grandson Ai Ye who was kneeling in front of him, and suddenly two cloudy tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"Uncle, how are you? It doesn't matter, right? If you hold on, I'll definitely try to get you out with Aiye. ”

Xie Xiang hurriedly whispered and said quickly, for fear that Old Man Li would faint again.

Unexpectedly, Old Man Li didn't faint quickly, but shook his head weakly at Ai Ye.

Then, Xie Xiang felt that Old Man Li, who was leaning on his arm, began to gasp.

After leaning down slightly, Old Man Li, who was wheezing, suddenly spoke very lowly.

However, he didn't call his grandson Ai Ye when he opened his mouth, Xie Xiang heard him say intermittently but clearly: "Childe...... Artemisia ...... Mr. Li ......"

Then, it seemed that the old man Li, who had exhausted all his strength, almost didn't even have a process, so he tilted his head, opened his mouth and opened his eyes wide, and completely lost his breath.

Xie Xiang was so frightened that even he forgot Lin Tou's orders, and hurriedly shouted desperately: "Uncle, uncle......"

After calling twice, he finally understood, it turned out that Ai Ye's grandfather had long been dead, the reason why this old man refused to give up his breath seemed to be because of Ai Ye, and there was something that made him unable to do so, and now, he finally saw Ai Ye, and said these words to him, and there was no longer any strength to continue.

"Ah......h

Ai Ye cried out heartbreakingly, Xie Xiang hurriedly put down the old man Li who had lost his breath in his arms, and jumped up to cover Ai Ye's mouth.

For he had heard the footsteps of the woods outside.

"The hour has come, go, go!"

Xie Xiang covered Ai Ye's mouth with one hand, and with the other hand, he held Ai Ye's body that was desperately trying to pounce on Old Man Li, and exited the cell step by step, Lin Tou had already pushed open the prison door; Xie Xiang felt the back of his hand full of mugwort hot tears.

……

"Xia Xueyi?"

Following Li Zhutou out of the mansion, Xie Xiang suddenly saw a slender figure standing there at the end of the street corner.

It seems that Xia Xueyi is a little impatient to wait, and she is not worried that he and Ai Ye will find the door of the mansion.

Xia Xueyi knew that he and Ai Ye went to help Xian Zhang's house, and Wuzhou City was so big, so Xia Xueyi could easily get here.

Fortunately, Xia Xueyi was not too anxious, and went straight into the mansion to find him and Ai Ye; However, Xie Xiang felt that maybe he didn't just arrive.

He didn't want Li Zhutou to see Xia Xueyi, I don't know why, Xie Xiang always felt that Xia Xueyi was equivalent to Jiangyang thieves, Li Zhutou and Xia Xueyi were like policemen and thieves, and it was better to avoid them.

So, Xie Xiang hurriedly said goodbye to Li Zhutou: "Master Li, it's really hard for you today, I will bring this child to the door to thank you another day, please go back and rest first, let's not live here." ”

Li Zhutou glanced at Ai Ye, who was already a little stupid with red eyes from crying, sighed and shook his head, and then said: "Okay, fortunately, this child met Gongzi, tomorrow I will take care of it, and ask this child to take Old Man Li's body back and bury it properly." ”

After speaking, he shook his head again, cut his hands upside down and walked straight away, and the big pu knife he carried on his waist hit his leg one by one, and he seemed to feel any pain.

Looking at the back of Li Zhutou leaving alone, Xie Xiang suddenly felt a little grateful to this head catcher in his heart.

Anyway, this Li Zhutou is not considered to have lost his conscience, maybe he has also done things to help the people of Li to abuse and harm the people of Li in some cases, but in the matter of Grandpa Ai Ye, he really did not have the intention to extort.

If he deliberately concealed the truth that Old Man Li was about to breathe, and blindly asked for some dots, Xie Xiang would really have nothing to do.

It's hard to get that; Among those wolf-like officials, this Li Zhutou may already be regarded as one with a great conscience.

……

"How?"

Looking at Xie Xiang, who was a little lost and depressed, with Ai Ye, who was almost stupid, Xia Xueyi suddenly felt a little distressed, and couldn't help but step forward and hold Xie Xiang's hand and asked softly.

If it weren't for Ai Ye, Xie Xiang felt that he almost couldn't support it and fell into Xia Xueyi's arms.

"Grandpa Li...... Aiye's grandfather, tortured to death......"

Xie Xiang only whispered, and finally touched Ai Yeyin's sorrow all the way; "Grandpa, you can't leave me...... Ah......h

A child's heart-rending cry penetrated the streets and alleys of Wuzhou City in an instant, startling countless people's dogs to bark desperately.

"No help at all?"

Xia Xueyi was still unfazed, and asked softly.

"No...... Don't take the risk, Li Zhutou has already said that tomorrow he will ask Ai Ye to bring the body back and bury it properly. ”

Xie Xiang held back tears and turned his face away.

He gritted his teeth in his heart, Ai Ye's grandfather was actually killed by him and Xia Xueyi, does Xia Xueyi know?

However, in front of Ai Ye, he couldn't say anything.

Xia Xueyi sighed softly: "Let's go back, I'll come with you tomorrow." ”

……

"What? The hen? ”

Xia Xueyi's handsome face was momentarily confused, and even a kind of ridiculousness that felt unbelievable and unbelievable.

"Yes, it's me, it's us who killed Ai Ye's grandfather, if it weren't for me, if it weren't for you, if it weren't for you thinking I'm hungry, you wouldn't have caught that hen in Ai Ye's family...... Xia Xueyi, maybe a human life is nothing important to you, but I feel very guilty, very guilty, this matter will make me uneasy for the rest of my life. ”

Xie Xiang stood in front of the window and looked at an unknown place outside the window, and said word by word.

"I don't blame you, Xie Xiang, I'm sorry, my fault...... I didn't know it was a poor man's animal......"
