There is no shop in front of the village here, and in addition to the woods, there are still woods around, and there are even fierce beasts in a few places. Usually the hunters hunt, and they also know that they just wander around the official road, and further in, Xiao Jiu has only been to it once or twice.

"A little bit further, or a little bit back?" Jiang Wanbai asked.

Further ahead was a small mountain bag, which couldn't hide people at all, and it was there that the three people on the ground were caught, so He Wu definitely didn't go in that direction.

As for the future, that is, the direction they came from, after walking a few kilometers, there are beginning to be villages.

After listening to this, Jiang Wanbai began to think. Now they had two directions, one was to look in the forest, and the other was to follow the road they came. It seems that it is difficult to find in the dense forest, but life is very inconvenient, and the way to come is different, which seems dangerous, but in fact it is safe.

Judging from the previous events, He Wu is ruthless, but he also has some courage and strategy, and he is a little conceited, if he thinks about it from his point of view, he will inevitably choose the latter.

"Chase back." Jiang Wanbai suddenly stood up and said urgently.

Everyone was stunned.

"Get on the horse and go." Yuan Huzi was still very convinced of Jiang Wanbai, and immediately galloped on the horse and left with the people.

Jiang Wanbai also hurriedly got into the carriage and followed.

Every time she ran for a kilometer, Jiang Wanbai asked Xiao Jiu to go into the bushes next to her to see if there were any traces of people passing by.

It's rainy on the beach, and the leaves in the woods are rotting and piled up, making it difficult to walk. If He Wu really followed this direction, then he could not have been in the depths of the woods all the time, and he would definitely come to the bushes near the official mansion.

In this way, after chasing for seven or eight kilometers, Xiao Jiu went to the side to check again. When he came back, he gave Jiang Wanbai a thumbs up, "Old lady, I really guessed it, there are traces of broken branches next to it, and it is still very new, it should be that someone has just passed by." ”

I was right, Jiang Wanbai also breathed a sigh of relief, "Get off the horse and chase in the bushes, Xiao Jiu, you lead the way." ”

Xiao Jiu smiled, "Don't worry, in this wood, there is no one I can't catch up." ”

The crowd dismounted, and they were about to chase after them. However, Jiang Wanbai politely refused. Tracking this kind of thing, it is natural that there are fewer people, the better, besides, He Wu has only one person, and there is no need for so many people at all.

Yuan Huzi also felt that she was right, and in the end only picked two agile ones to chase. Originally, he didn't want Jiang Wanbai to go, but Jiang Wanbai insisted on going, and there was no choice but to let her go.

A group of five people moved forward cautiously like cats, for fear of making a little noise and being detected by He Wu.

After walking less than five hundred meters, Xiao Jiu suddenly stretched out his hand to stop everyone's movements, and then pouted and asked everyone to look ahead.

Everyone looked at it, there was a bush in front of them, and there were a few big trees sparsely next to the bushes, and there was nothing abnormal, so they looked at Xiao Jiu with questions.

Hehe, Xiao Jiu showed a smug smile and pointed diagonally upward.

This time, looking in the direction he was pointing again, everyone finally noticed the anomaly. On a big tree a few dozen meters away from them, a figure was sitting on a big branch, resting with his back against the tree, it was not He Wu or anyone.

The man was cunning enough, and everyone looked at each other, stepped back slightly, hid in the bushes, and began to discuss what to do.

"Go up and catch him, and chop him directly." Yuan Huzi said with a murderous face.

Jiang Wanbai looked at the few people opposite hesitantly.

Yuan Huzi immediately understood what she meant, patted his chest and said: "I don't dare to guarantee those outside, but these are all people who have had a lifelong relationship with me, and I dare to guarantee my life." ”

Since this is the case, Jiang Wanbai no longer hesitated, and said in a low voice: "You can't kill him, at least we can't kill him." Today, we came out to chase people and there was a lot of trouble, if we really killed someone, Dong County ordered it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain. ”

"I'm afraid of his eggs." Yuan Huzi didn't have a good impression of Dong Xian Ling at all, but if he really wanted to say that he was not afraid at all, it was also false, "Then what do you say?" Do you want to arrest him and send him to prison?

Don't say that I didn't sue you, with our current relationship with Dong County, it is not impossible to send He Wu in today and he will be released tomorrow. ”

What he said, Jiang Wanbai naturally knew, so from the beginning, she didn't expect any fairness and justice, He Wu killed people to pay for his life, and he had to die.

"Big brother, listen to what the old lady has to say." Xiao Jiu was still relatively calm, and he felt that since Jiang Wanbai said so, he must have an idea.

"You say there's a beast around here?" Jiang Wanbai suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"Yes, I remember that not far from here, there were tigers." Xiao Jiu said as if he understood something, "You mean?" ”

"I've heard that the smell of blood attracts these beasts." Jiang Wanbai said lightly.

"I see. Just look at it. Xiao Jiuyi slapped his thigh and smiled.

Yuan Huzi and the others also understood Jiang Wanbai's plan at this time, and they couldn't help but shudder as if they looked at each other. They just wanted to kill He Wu with one sword, but Jiang Wanbai wanted the beast to eat him alive, the feeling of watching his stomach being torn and devoured......

Jiang Wanbai looked at their faces and knew what they were thinking, but at this time, she didn't care at all. The anger and grief in her chest were full of anger, and she urgently needed a rain of blood to vent, otherwise she felt that she was about to go crazy.

Xiao Jiu disappeared into the dense forest, and after a while, a long arrow shot at He Wu, shooting right on his thigh, and blood splattered out instantly.

He Wu screamed and fell from the tree. However, he did not panic for long. Tearing a rag from his body and barely covering the wound, he turned and ran towards the woods.

After he disappeared, Xiao Jiu came out, smiled smugly at Jiang Wanbai and them, and chased after him again.

Jiang Wanbai and the others stood up and hurriedly followed.

After chasing for a few hundred meters, I saw from a distance that He Wu was about to disappear, but Xiao Jiu was lying there cautiously, slowly retreating.

Everyone realized something and stopped.

And at this moment, a three-meter-long tiger jumped out of nowhere, slapped He Wu on the ground with one paw, and then raised his head in the direction of Jiang Wanbai and them with a long roar.

Tiger Roaring Forest, the shock of that sound, not only from the ears, but also from the heart, the kind of deterrence that belongs to the king.

Xiao Jiu no longer crawled slowly, but stood up with a sigh, and said as he ran towards this side: "Run." ”

The crowd hurriedly ran.

In the process of running, Jiang Wanbai glanced back uneasily, and saw that the tiger bit open He Wu's belly, and a bunch of cyan intestines flowed all over the ground. Not daring to look back, she ran desperately.

After running a few hundred meters, Xiao Jiu stopped, and said happily, "The tiger has already found us, but fortunately it already has prey, so it let us go." ”

Everyone has a sense of the aftermath of the catastrophe.

Soon returned to the official road, Tian Lao Er immediately greeted him, and said with an anxious face: "Mother, are you okay, I just heard the tiger barking, but I was scared to death." ”

"It's okay, aren't we all fine?" Jiang Wanbai replied.

"What about He Wu?" Tian Lao Er asked again.

"He's probably not so lucky." Jiang Wanbai's revenge was avenged, and when she talked about He Wu, she felt like she was in a different world, and her voice was light and fluttering.

When she said this, everyone understood what she meant. From today on, I am afraid that there will be no one named He Wu in this world.

"Yes, evil will be rewarded with evil, and good will be rewarded with good, it's not that you don't report it, the time has not come. Such a person is cheaper to be eaten by a tiger. ”

Tian Laoer's feelings for Tian Laosi and Liu Er are far deeper than Jiang Wanbai's, so when it comes to He Wu's death, he only has endless joy, and he only hates himself for not watching him being eaten alive on the spot.

Jiang Wanbai breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go home." ”

Tian Lao Er nodded.

"What about these three people?" Yuan Huzi asked Jiang Wanbai.

Jiang Wanbai looked at the three people.

The three of them were frightened, and quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, snorting and tearful about how difficult their family was and how remorseful they were.

"Let them write a confession, and then carry Lu Cuirong's body to the official mansion." Jiang Wanbai thought for a moment and said.

The death of Widow Lu and He Wu had already scared the three of them, and they also knew that their crimes would not lead to death if they went to the Yamen, Jiang Wanbai said this, which was equivalent to letting them live, so they quickly agreed.

While counting how He Wu killed Tian Liu, Widow Lu, and Tian Laosi, he defended himself, and finally pressed his handprint on the confession, and the three of them lifted the broken straw mat and went to the official mansion.

This time, Dong County's order was immediately promoted. The facts of the case are clear, the main culprit He Wu has been eaten by the tiger again, and he has nothing to do, so he hastily sentenced three people to 20 boards each, put them in prison and hurriedly retreated.

Leaving the county office, Jiang Wanbai went straight home.

The house was white, there were bursts of crying in the mourning hall, and an endless stream of people came to mourn, and when they saw Jiang Wanbai, they all persuaded her to mourn.

"Losing a father at a young age, widowing in middle age, and losing a child in old age" are the three most painful things in life, among which "losing a child in old age" is the most helpless, so they have reason to believe that Jiang Wanbai must be in pain now.

Jiang Wanbai thanked everyone, entered the mourning hall, and concentrated on sending Tian Laosi and Tian Liu on their last journey.

At this time, all the people of the Tian family except Tian Miao were already all gone, guarding in the mourning hall, burning paper, crying, no one said anything, no one had to say anything.

Zhao looked at Tian Laosi in the coffin, and still couldn't believe that he was dead, so suddenly. Although she was angry that he wanted to take a concubine, she was not at all unable to understand why he did so.

Now, the last bit of resentment has disappeared with his death, leaving only nostalgia and those former warmth.

When he married her, it was her most difficult time. Sometimes Zhao wondered if if he had come a few days late, she would have put the arsenic-frost that had been prepared long ago into her meal with Tian Miao and Tian Chengbao.

After all, life was so hard, and she didn't want to watch the two of them starve to death at all.

Also, he never allowed himself to work in the fields, and every time she went, he would angrily drive her home, or work hard to finish his part.

Tian's family is poor, and he can't eat enough every day, but he always has the ability to get something fresh, such as a skinny bird and two wild duck eggs. It was because of these that she felt that this day was not so difficult.

The tears couldn't stop dripping down, dripping into the brazier in front of them, and they were burned into a puff of green smoke by the flames, curling up.

May you be well underground! Zhao grabbed the paper money next to him and put it into the brazier as if he was dying, igniting bursts of bright flames.

Tian Lao Er quietly thought about what had happened in the past two days, and then glanced at the brothers who had been separated by yin and yang from then on, and suddenly had a kind of enlightenment. There's something you can't grasp even if you try so hard. At this time, it is better to let go, otherwise, you will only lose more.

Perhaps, from the beginning, he was destined to have no son with the fourth child. Before, he just didn't believe and was unwilling, and from now on, he should let go.

Suddenly feeling relaxed, he looked at Wang, the person he had decided to accompany in the future.

Wang's feelings are similar to his.

The eyes of the two people met in the air, and they both understood what the other party was thinking, and their expressions became calm and calm.

Tian Chengyu has grown up a lot after these two days. Looking at Zhang, who had fainted several times after crying, he suddenly understood that Zhang's was not not not in love with him, but in another way, and loved him as much as she could.

Maybe she didn't help scold or grab things for herself, but as long as she had something, she would not hesitate to give it to him. Maybe she knew that she was right, and forced herself to apologize, but she shed more tears behind her back than herself.

She is weak, and she should be stronger. The estrangement between Tian Chengyu and the Zhang family finally disappeared, and he decided that he wanted to protect and take care of the Zhang family like a man.

Tian Chengyu was thinking about Zhang, and Zhang was also thinking about him. She always thought that her life would be fine in the future, but she didn't expect Tian Liu to leave so suddenly, and she was a little caught off guard suddenly.

Why did he let her leave yesterday, why didn't he leave with her, Zhang asked himself more than once. And after this chagrin, it is the guilt of Tian Liu, as well as the guilt of Tian Chengyun and several other children.

She is not a good mother at all, and she does not protect her children well, and Liu'er's departure is probably God's punishment for her.

If this is the case, then she will become stronger in the future and not let her children suffer any more grievances.

has the same idea as Zhang, as well as Tian Laosan.

The Tian family thought about their own affairs, and after this incident, they all changed a lot.

In the evening, when there were very few guests who came to mourn, suddenly a man dressed in silk and with a kind face came in.

He was a little strange, the other people mourned and left, but he went around to the back of the coffin to see Tian Liu's body. As he watched, he nodded his head, as if he was not looking at a corpse, but some kind of goods.

"This guest ......," Jiang Wanbai interrupted him with a loud voice.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Let me introduce myself first, I am the housekeeper of the Zeng Taifu family, my surname is Yang, and my name is Yang Quan. Yang Quan said slowly.

"Mrs. Zeng?" Jiang Wanbaijue's name is particularly familiar, "Which Zeng Taifu?" ”

"When the Taifu surnamed Zeng is the emperor, there is only my master's family." In Yang Quan's voice, there was a kind of pride that could not be concealed.

Jiang Wanbai finally remembered who Mrs. Zeng was. Speaking of which, this matter is also related to Ouyang Jun. Back then, what he broke was Zeng Taifu's orchid, because he wanted to make up for it, so he found Jiang Wanbai, and then he had what happened.

"Zeng Taifu is not in the capital, how can he be here?" Jiang Wanbai was a little puzzled.

"My lord's hometown is from Yancheng. Last year, after the last apprentice, Ouyang Jun, the little marquis of the Zhongyong Hou family, came out of the school, my master felt that he was old, so he played the holy and prayed to return to his hometown to support the elderly.

Speaking of which, the saint was enlightened by my lord, so he specially rewarded the lord with a lot of things, and the position of the master remained unchanged, and he returned to his hometown to spend his old age in peace. ”

When he said this, Jiang Wanbai understood a little. Last year, the court was in turmoil, Ouyang Jun went to the south to suppress bandits, and later a series of events such as the prince's seizure of power occurred, and it is not surprising that this Zeng Taifu returned to his hometown.

It's just that Jiang Wanbai couldn't think of anything that the Tian family could have anything to do with this Zeng Taifu, so she said, "So that's the case." So is there something wrong with Steward Yang coming today? ”

Yang Quan let out a long sigh with a sad face, "It's not my little son yet." The old lady may not know that just yesterday, not long before your granddaughter's accident, my little son went.

My wife heard about this today and thought it was a marriage sent by God, so she sent me to propose marriage. Yang Quan's words were astonishing.

"Propose?" Jiang Wanbai's voice has changed, when Tian Liu is alive, he can still come to propose marriage, but everyone is dead......

No, he said that his little boy was also dead. Could it be that they want to get married......
