Their carriage was actually not far from the fat aunt's house, and they couldn't walk a few steps. On the way, I received the envy of the villagers who had not gone far.

Stupid said: "Miss, they are envious of stupid girl." ”

Nie Shuyao said: "In the future, remember that my name is Shui Lan, and I am not stupid at all." ”

"Hmm." Stupid replied happily.

"Does the wound still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt. It didn't hurt the bones, Miss's medicine was good, and it didn't hurt for a long time. Stupid said nonchalantly.

Nie Shuyao gave her a bright smile, this child is really sensible, and the flesh injury is also very painful, just look at the reaction of Shunzi's father just now.

Stupid girl pushed open the door of her house and let Nie Shuyao in. Then he gently closed the door again, and the two of them came to the hall together.

At this time, the sun had set, and it was a little dark in the hall, and the host's family was reluctant to light the lamp, so they stayed up.

After they entered, the stupid girl ran to the fat aunt and cried again, "Mother, they want to feed the stupid girl to the water ghost." ”

When the fat aunt heard this, she was angry and scolded: "Li Zheng really has no conscience, are there still few dead people in our family?" ”

Nie Shuyao hurriedly put down the chicken soup and comforted: "Auntie, don't be angry. Just after giving birth, you have to take care of it. ”

The fat aunt also knew that it was very important for women to do confinement, so she nodded her head busily, took a few deep breaths, and wiped away her tears for the stupid girl.

"I've told me everything. It's a blessing for my stupid girl to be able to follow the girl, and we'll leave it to you. She grabbed Nie Shuyao's hand and said, and she burst into tears when she said this.

Nie Shuyao will see that the fat aunt will be kind, more like a cow aunt with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry." Stupid girls won't suffer if they follow me. Later, when she gets married, I will ask her to bring your future son-in-law to see you. ”

"Really?" The fat aunt didn't believe that her daughter had become someone else's maid, and there were such good things.

Nie Shuyao said: "Really." If the stupid girl doesn't like to be a maid anymore, I'll let her come back. However, the deed of sale still has to be signed first, and I'm afraid that the person in Lizheng will make a fuss about it. ”

As she spoke, she took out twenty taels of silver and put it in the fat aunt's hand, "You can put away this silver." Stupid girl has had monthly silver every month since she followed me. Take these things and buy them for yourselves. ”

"Well, that's not going to work. If you can save the stupid girl, she is her benefactor, and the stupid girl has to follow you all her life if she doesn't want money. The fat aunt looked at the silver and felt dazed, and felt uneasy in her heart.

Nie Shuyao said again: "Auntie doesn't need to say that, it's just an expedient time for me to do this." It's our arrival that has caused such a change in your family, and I'm really sorry. ”

The fat aunt shook her head cleanly, "No, no, even if you don't come, Li Zheng will attack us sooner or later." Alas, if it weren't for the reluctance of the head of the family to leave this ancestral land, I would have wanted to leave a long time ago. ”

"Do you still have conflicts with Lizheng?" Nie Shuyao asked.

"Alas!" The fat aunt sighed again, "I don't know if there is a contradiction. It's just that Li Zheng always deliberately says that we will give him what he wants, and often says some threatening words. Last year, my father-in-law was still there, and he didn't take Lizheng's words to heart. But at the end of the year, my father-in-law fainted at the door of his house for some reason, and his whole body was soaked, and he left without leaving a word. ”

"Who is your father-in-law?"

Stupid girl said: "My father turned out to be Lizheng from Qingshui Village, and this Lizheng, who was going out to do business two years ago, suddenly came back, and I heard that he made a fortune." Slowly, the people in the village asked my grandfather to give up Lizheng's position to him. ”

The "grandfather" here is actually the grandfather, which was collectively referred to as "grandfather" in ancient times. However, depending on the region, the name is also different.

"It started again two years ago." Nie Shuyao muttered to herself. What happened in the past two years? Then he asked, "What happened later?" ”

"Then we were scared of this place. He always said that our family had messed with water ghosts, so let's live in peace. The days are getting worse than the day. I'm a soft kid in charge, and I have to wait for my father-in-law's filial piety period to talk about moving. But today is completely offended by Lizheng, I'm afraid that our stupid girl will really be ...... by him. The fat aunt looked at Nie Shuyao worriedly.

Nie Shuyao smiled: "Don't worry, stupid girl sleeps with me tonight, no one dares to do anything to her." ”

The three of them said something more, and the fat aunt invited them to live at home, but Nie Shuyao declined.

On the way back to the carriage, Nie Shuyao asked Benya, "Benya, how many people are there in your family?" ”

Stupid girl said: "Sister, isn't my name Shui Lan?" ”

Nie Shuyao smiled lightly, "Let's call you Shui Lan when I leave Qingshui Village, I call Shui Lan They don't know who it is." ”

"Well, good. There were originally six people in our family, including grandfather, grandmother and uncle and three of us. ”

"What about them?" Nie Shuyao felt that there was a big problem in Qingshui Village, at least every family had a memory that they didn't want to face.

Stupid girl said: "The master didn't have it last year, and the grandmother and uncle were dragged away by the water ghost when they were washing clothes by the river two years ago." ”

Nie Shuyao corrected her words, "Stupid, remember, there are no water ghosts in this river, and they are not dragged away. Perhaps their deaths were man-made. ”

"Also?" Stupid cleverly grasped the words.

Nie Shuyao patted her shoulder, pressed a wound on her back again, and asked, "Does it hurt here?" ”

"Oops, it hurts!"

"Stupid, you didn't accidentally slip into the water when you fell into the water. Is someone going to ...... you Push it on. Nie Shuyao finally told her this.

The stupid girl suddenly stood up and asked tremblingly, "Who is it?" The horror of falling into the water came back to her mind, and she was terrified.

Nie Shuyao took her hand and comforted: "Don't worry, no matter who it is, I will pull that person out." ”

It was already dark, and several people went to bed early.

Nie Shuyao slept in the carriage with Benya, and the old man slept in his carriage. As for Jiang Yi and Feng Wuya, they slept in tents with Nie Tianxi and the second artillery, taking turns to keep vigil.

Today is a toss-up day. Nie Shuyao soon fell asleep, and he slept very deeply. The same is true of Stupid Ya, no matter how terrible it was just now, as long as she feels at ease when she is by the girl's side.

The time came to the third watch, and the time had just passed. That's what it looks like around one o'clock in the morning. It was Nie Tianxi's turn to keep vigil, and he raised his eyes to look at the river, only to hear the sound of water and insects.

Tonight there was no moon but a starry sky, and with his eyesight, he could see certain nocturnal creatures, such as a flying owl that had just passed by the river.

He yawned, it was almost Feng Wuya's turn to be on duty. I can go back to sleep at this hour.

But a scream pierced the silence, followed by the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping. He looked for the voice, it was the stupid girl's house, and there was a fire there immediately.

"Help, save my baby!"

The fat aunt's sharp voice woke Nie Shuyao from her sleep. I opened the car door and asked, "What happened?" ”

At the first scream, the three men on the night vigil woke up and ran over instantly.

The stupid girl was also awakened for the first time, and shouted: "Sister, it's my mother!" ”

Her hand grabbed Nie Shuyao's arm and didn't let go, as if she was grasping a life-saving straw.

Nie Shuyao soothed: "Stupid, it's okay, let's go see what's going on." ”

Stupid slowly let go of her hand. She took out a fire breaker and lit all the lights in the carriage. I got out of the car.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw the old man running over with a coat on, and asked with concern: "What happened?" ”

Nie Shuyao said: "Uncle Nian, Second Artillery, I'm bothering you to watch it here." ”

She squeezed her eyes hard. Let your eyes get used to the darkness as quickly as possible, only to find that the door of the fat aunt's house is on fire. Pulled the stupid girl and ran over quickly.

At this time, Jiang Yi, who rushed over first, had already caught up with the wrongdoers.

Not far away, there was a black shadow fighting with Jiang Yi, but Jiang Yi was beaten by Jiang Yi in three or two strokes, if he wasn't afraid of hurting the baby in the black shadow's hand, this man in black would have been injured by Jiang Yi's sword.

The man in black also knew that he was not an opponent. Finally, he decisively threw the baby over his side and ran into the darkness.

Jiang Yi caught the baby very neatly, but at this moment. The mutation protruded, and a throwing knife flew out of the shadows. Pierce the baby directly.

"Brother Feng, catch it!"

Jiang Yi also resolutely threw the child towards Feng Wuya, who ran over, and the child cried loudly at this time.

As soon as he cried, the fat aunt also felt the connection between flesh and blood, and vaguely saw the child being thrown out, she struggled to walk a few steps quickly, screamed and fainted.

At this time, Feng Wuya used his strength to pounce on the baby, and finally lay on the ground, but his two hands caught the child steadily.

He raised his head and gritted his teeth and glanced at the child, fortunately, this kid still knows how to cry.

Seeing that Jiang Yi had already chased after the place where the flying knife was thrown, the place where he had fought just now was dark, and he couldn't see anything.

Nie Tianxi was putting out the fire on the gate at this time, and if it wasn't extinguished in time, Stupid's home would most likely be ruined.

"Mother!" The stupid girl ran to the fat aunt, and Nie Shuyao also arrived at the same time.

Then, Feng Wuya also came over with the child in his arms, and the two of them were relieved.

The fat aunt was frightened and fainted for a while, and several people took her home. When she woke up, she found herself in her own bed.

She got up on her bones, and the first thing she said was, "Son, someone is robbing my child!" ”

Nie Shuyao smiled: "The child is by your side, be careful not to press him." ”

The fat aunt realized that it was her newborn son who was asleep next to her, and she cried lowly. While crying, he said, "What kind of sin have I done, someone wants to feed this child to the water ghost." ”

In a word, everyone present knew who did it, but Jiang Yi, who had chased after him, had not come back yet, and even if he chased that person back, he might not be able to punish him.

After crying for a while, the fat aunt suddenly said: "The head of the house, what about my family?" ”

Nie Tianxi said: "Uncle was injured and hasn't woken up yet. ”

He found that the stupid father was behind the burning gate, and was knocked on the head with a stick, but fortunately there was no danger to his life, but he fainted.

After settling these people, the chickens also began to crow, and the white belly of the fish had already appeared in the east.

As soon as everyone's hearts were put down, there was a knock on the door of the stupid girl's house, and the old man shouted, "No, it's not good, it's dead!"
