Chapter 304: Magpie

Wanru's father can be the village chief here, in addition to being highly respected, his mind is naturally not simple, but his bones are still full of the simplicity and frankness of this place, and he is unguarded in the face of some questions from his daughter, intentionally or unintentionally.

Wanru told Xiao Yi the answers to some of the questions that Xiao Yi taught her every day, which was normal in the eyes of Wanru or his father, but these fragmentary words arrived at Xiao Yi, and after a little sorting and analysis, he accurately guessed where the map was placed.

There was a stout old tree at the back of Wanru's house, the age of which was unknown, and even the oldest man in the village said that he could remember it.

Trees, like animals, grow old, and as they grow old, the branches die one after another, until now, there is almost only a thick branch, and at the top of the branch are several branches interlaced, and in the middle of the branch is a magpie's nest.

"Wanru, I seem to hear the sound of a little magpie calling in the magpie's nest." Xiao Yat stood under the old tree, looking up at the magpie's nest made of branches.

"Why didn't I hear that?" Wanru tilted her ears sideways, but she didn't hear anything, only a few dead leaves rustling and shaking.

"I screamed a few times just now, but now I don't scream again, maybe I'm hungry." Xiao Yat said.

Wanru looked at the magpie's nest, and her two willow eyebrows frowned slightly, "What should I do then, I don't know when their grandma will come back to feed them." ”

Xiao Yi shook his head, "Maybe their grandma went to a far away place, and maybe they will never come back." ”

"Would their grandma be so ruthless?" Wanru asked.

Xiao Yi smiled, but did not speak, because he knew that the grandmother of this nest of little magpies must not have left ruthlessly, but she would never come back, because it had been hit by a small pebble and landed in a bush.

"If you don't believe me, I'll have to go up and have a look." Wanru said that she was about to climb the tree.

Xiao Yi stretched out his hand to stop her, "I'll go." As he spoke, he rubbed a few times and climbed up the thick cracked trunk like a monkey.

A few little magpies in the bird's nest have long been dying, and the little bird without its mother has naturally lost its qualification to survive, the bottom of the bird's nest is covered with soft grass velvet and rags, Xiao Yi probed with his hand, the ground of the rags is a small parchment roll, only a dot is drawn on the parchment roll, and below the dot, there is a small line of text.

Xiao Yi glanced at it, put the parchment roll back in its place, jumped forward, and landed firmly on the ground.

"How's the little magpie?" Wanru's eyes were a little nervous, and she was very concerned about the safety of the little magpies in the bird's nest.

"They're fine, they're not hungry, they're not freezing." Xiao Yi smiled.

"Oh, that's good, it looks like their grandma has prepared plenty of food and water for them." Wanru's face was happy, but Xiao Yi's heart tightened fiercely, and he felt a tearing pain, for this kind of pain, he had become accustomed to it in the past few days.

"Brother Xiao Yi."

"Hmm."

"Will you leave me in the future like Grandma Magpie left Little Magpie?"

"No, I'll always be with you."

"Hehe, I know that Brother Xiao Yi is the best for me." Wanru cheered, holding Xiao Yi's arm and jumping and jumping, this simple girl didn't know that in the shijie outside, one of the most spoken languages was called lies.

This primitive village still retains the ancient tradition of sunrise and sunset, as soon as it gets dark, go to bed early, there is no TV, no computer, no bar, no night club, dark just means time for them to rest.

To the south of the village is a small pool of spring, no larger than half a football field, where Xiao Yat was discovered by Wanru and Luo.

The map in the magpie's nest has only one dot drawn on it, and this dot refers to the pool of water, and the line approved below describes the way out of the village through the pool.

Of course, there are no man-eating water monsters at the bottom of the spring, it is just a lie told by the ancestors of this village in order to hide people's eyes, as long as you dive to the bottom and swim forward, it will not be long before you can reach the shijie outside, this pool of spring water is connected to the outside, that is, the only passage out of the village.

There was no wind, no moon, and no stars, and the weather didn't seem to be very good tonight.

However, the quiet and deep water surface of the pool suddenly flashed with golden light, and a large number of light spots illuminated it.

A group of people rushed towards this place, young and old, each with a torch, and the golden light that flickered on the water was the reflection of the torch.

Xiao Yat was soon surrounded by a group.

"We're so good to you, you're going to do that!" The first burly man yelled angrily at Xiao Yi, this may be the first time in his life that he lost his temper.

Xiao Yi looked around and shrugged helplessly, "I'm not from here, so I naturally choose to leave, but I will keep it a secret and never reveal a word to people outside." ”

The burly man didn't seem to understand what the other party said, he was slightly stunned, and then roared loudly: "You want to kill the village chief!" ”

Xiao Yi looked surprised, "The village chief is dead?" ”

The man roared, "You cut your neck with a wood knife!" ”

"I'm going to kill the village chief?" Although Xiao Yi felt that the incident was strange, he did not make a hasty defense, but just said calmly, because he knew that any defense had nothing to do with emotions, and emotions could not affect the truth.

"Of course you're for that treasure map in our village!"

Few people in the village knew that the village chief had a map to go out, but the whole village knew that the village chief also kept a treasure map, and legend has it that whoever got the treasure map could become the emperor.

"I didn't kill anyone." Xiao Yi's tone was still calm.

"You didn't kill it, so who else!" The burly man said loudly, tears flashing in the corners of his eyes, and pointed at Xiao Yi and said excitedly: "Today, the village chief and A Luo went to Sister-in-law Yang's house to drink, and after drinking, they went home directly, many people saw it, the village chief was fine when he went home, and you were the only outsider in the whole village, and you were the only one who lived next door to the village chief's house, not you!" ”

If the burly man's words sounded full of loopholes to the people outside, they would not be able to withstand any scrutiny, but they were the truth here, because they all believed that the people here would not lie and would not do such things, and the only explanation was that Xiao Yi, an outsider, did it.

"Arrow, you say!" The burly man shouted to the crowd.

Ah Luo walked out, still with a wooden face, but this time he no longer had a simple smile on his face, but a solemn face.

"Today, Sister-in-law Yang asked me and the village chief to go to her house to drink the wine she brewed, the village chief drank too much, and fell asleep on the table for a while, so I helped the village chief back home, and I also met the news at the door of the village chief's house, he was coming out of the village chief's house at that time, and said hello to us." Arrow recounted the story.

Xiao Yi nodded, "When it was almost dark, I did meet the village chief at the door. ”

Xiao Yi recalled that after he came out of the village chief's house today, he happened to meet the village chief and A Luo, and he greeted them at that time, but the village chief's face was a little strange, not the same as before, he thought that the village chief was drunk, so Xiao Yi didn't think much about it, but he didn't expect that it was the first time he saw this silent but amiable village chief.

"Xiao Yi, you killed the village chief, we want you to pay for your life!" The burly man gritted his teeth, and as soon as his words fell, the excited villagers began to shout along.

"Kill him and avenge the village chief!"

"Kill this scourge."

"Let him pay for his life, kill him!"

Xiao Yi stood in place, motionless, on the one hand, he really couldn't do anything to these simple, kind and simple villagers, on the other hand, in the face of this group of villagers who were all martial arts masters, Xiao Yi had no chance of winning, just when Xiao Yi's brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about a way to resolve the crisis, a nice voice suddenly came.

"My Abba wasn't killed by Brother Xiao Yi."

After hearing this voice, everyone stopped moving, and automatically made a way, and a girl slowly walked out of it, the girl's eyes were full of tears, and her face was full of pain from the loss of a loved one, but only Xiao Yi could see that there was still disappointment and sadness in the girl's eyes.

"Wanru, your Abba was killed by this person, and you still have to help him speak?" The burly man's tone returned to its previous simplicity when he spoke to Wanru.

Wanru glanced at the burly man, then at the villagers who cared about her, and said softly: "After Abba went back today, I went to Brother Xiao Yi's house, and I have been with him all the time. ”

Xiao Yi had gritted his teeth at this time, and forcibly held back the tears from flowing out, this girl who was hurt by him and deceived by him fiercely, at this time Ren Ran was excusing him, after coming out of Wanru's house today, she had never seen her again, this girl was lying, lying for herself!

"Wanru, what you said is true?" The burly man asked with some confusion.

Wanru nodded, "What I said is true. ”

"It's dark that day, what are you still doing at his house?"

Although the village is not so conservative, and it is normal for women to chat and visit each other, it is not open until after dark, which is an extremely shameful thing in the eyes of the villagers.

Wanru looked at Xiao Yi and smiled, "I'm sleeping with him, and we sleep in the same bed." ”

There was a commotion from the crowd, and the corners of the burly man's mouth twitched slightly, but his life was at stake, so he gritted his teeth and asked, "Could it be that he took advantage of you to fall asleep, and then quietly went to kill your Abba, and then came back and pretended to sleep." ”

Wanru shook her head slightly, "We weren't asleep?" ”

"Not asleep?" The burly man was a little puzzled, "Then what are you doing?" Wanru said calmly: "A man and a woman are lying on the bed and are not asleep, what else can they do." ”

Wanru's words were like dropping a bombshell into the crowd, and everyone looked at her with wide eyes, they couldn't believe that this kind and lively girl would do such a dirty thing, this kind of thing is normal in Shijie outside, but it can be regarded as a big thing in this village.
