Passers-by told An Xiabai that on the side where he was going to drown people, his family was quite powerful in the government, although he was not a big official, but it was enough, and the government mostly turned a blind eye to similar things, so things became what they are now.

One of the passers-by didn't know what to remember, but he sighed and shook his head and said, "You don't know, the girl who is about to drown is still very young, but only seventeen or eighteen years old. ”

Thinking that a girl in the prime of her cardamom years would suffer like this, An Xiabai really couldn't bear it.

She hurried to the location after asking two passers-by, but she didn't see the scene she wanted.

But they don't look like they're lying.

An Xiabai was puzzled, so he went to ask the old man fishing by the river.

"You mean Qin Shuang'er's matter." The old man sighed helplessly, his expression was very complicated, "They are right, her people really plan to throw her into the river to drown today, but they don't know what happened halfway, they suddenly changed their minds." ”

Thinking of the news he inquired about, the old man couldn't bear it: "They changed drowning to burning, and it is estimated that they are about to start doing it now." ”

At that moment, An Xiabai felt that it was really difficult for him to breathe.

She knew that there was no absolute light in time, but she didn't expect the darkness to be so close to her.

The life of a young girl was held in the palm of the hand by the thugs like this, and An Xiabai couldn't bear it.

After making a decision in a short time, she hurried to the place where the people were ready to be executed.

At the same time, a torch intended to burn people had just been lit.

"Do you know what's wrong?" The old man at the head held a torch in his hand and looked at the girl who was tightly tied to the pillar with a solemn face.

The girl didn't speak, just shook her head in silence.

When An Xiabai felt it, he happened to see the old man talking to the onlookers about the woman's crime.

He said that the girl who was about to be burned at the stake, surnamed Qin Shuang'er, was tied up in this place today because Qin Shuang'er was in vain and poisoned her parents because of a small dispute, which led to their deaths.

The people who are going to burn her to death now are her former people.

They said to all the onlookers bitterly: "We don't know what happened to the usually well-behaved and lovely little girl who became the violent she is now, and guess that she will become like this because she is possessed by evil spirits." In order to prevent future troubles, and so that the evil spirit will not be a disaster to the world from now on, we decided to set fire to her. ”

It's obviously a matter of human life, but they say it is so noble. ，

An Xia Bai sneered, her cold gaze swirled back and forth between the old man and the girl, and suddenly, she felt that the girl's appearance was a little familiar, as if she had seen someone before.

She frowned tightly, thinking for a long time before remembering who the other person was.

In her previous life, after she was shipwrecked for some reason, she wandered outside for a few days, during which it was this girl who helped her to survive.

In their previous life, they lived together for a long time for some reason, and An Xiabai was familiar with her character.

Not to mention whether Qin Shuang'er should repay her kindness to her, let's just say whether she committed a crime or not.

Qin Shuang'er usually doesn't even dare to kill a chicken, how could she be willing to murder her family, there must be some misunderstanding.

An Xiabai couldn't allow her to think too much, the torch in the hands of the elders on the stage had gradually picked up the straw pile beside Qin Shuang'er.

They really want to burn Qin Shuang'er alive!

Realizing this, An Xiabai could no longer stay calm, she hurriedly pushed away all the pedestrians next to her, and then walked quickly onto the stage.

"Who are you?" The old man was wary of strangers of unknown origin.

Although the corners of An Xia's white lips were smiling, her mood couldn't relax.

"I'm with you all the same, and you don't need to know my name."

It turned out to be a troublemaker.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression eased slightly: "Girl, it's better for you to leave our affairs alone, after all, these are our own family's affairs, and they have nothing to do with you, if you don't know her, it's best to go away quickly." ”

An Xia Bai shook his head indifferently, not only did he not walk away quickly as the old man instructed, but even took advantage of his failure to react, directly stepped forward to snatch the torch from the other party's hand, and then threw it on the ground to trample it out.

The old man finally reacted, and said with an angry face, "Girl, what do you mean by this? ”

At the same time as he spoke, the strong men who were originally maintaining order came to the stage one after another.

An Xiabai felt threatened, but she was not scared at all, she could even laugh: "What do I mean, this is saving you, can't you see it?" ”

Save him? It's almost the same to save Qin Shuang'er.

The old man scoffed at An Xiabai's words: "I haven't encountered danger, how can I talk about the rescue, you are really joking about wine." ”

Unexpectedly, after An Xiabai heard it, not only did he not have a panicked look, but he was also very calm: "I didn't say the wrong thing, I'm saving you now." ”

She told the old man with a cold face that the laws promulgated by the imperial court clearly stipulated that no one was allowed to abuse lynching, and now they gathered here to attack a young girl, which was an abuse of lynching.

"If I don't stop you now, and when you really do it later, the news will reach the ears of the officials, and you think about what they will do to you?"

The old man's face turned pale slightly, but he still stubbornly said: "We are not abusing lynching, Qin Shuang'er is already guilty, and the punishment she deserves now is just that she deserves it." Even if the officials come over, they are not in a position to criticize us. ”

It's a big breath, it seems that they do have backers in the government.

An Xiabai pondered for a moment, then changed his words and said: "Even if Miss Qin is really guilty, it is not something that you people can judge at will, and it is the right of the government to handle the case and close the case, it is also the responsibility of the government. ”

The old man's expression became paler.

An Xiabai saw the difference in his face and felt that his words were useful, so he continued to say: "If you people attack the girl today, I will go to the government to complain when I turn around, and I will say that you are a mustard of human life!" ”

The old man and the person in charge of punishment turned paler and paler, but they did not dare to say a word.

They knew that they were at a loss, so they thought about calming things down, and lowered their voices and said to An Xiabai: "Girl, this is originally our own family's business, don't come over and intervene, so let's do it, if you want money, open a number, as long as you promise that it will not affect what we are going to do next, we will not care about you, what do you think?" ”

An Xiabai didn't answer immediately, but glanced back at Qin Shuang'er behind her.

The latter was tightly tied to a stake with a rope, and his bright eyes were extremely dim, as if he had lost hope.

Her look of knowing if it made An Xiabai more and more determined in her heart.

She must save Qin Shuang'er.

"I'm not short of money, I don't want your silver taels, I just want to save this girl's life." She said with a firm face.

Seeing this, the old man immediately chose to give up the plan to negotiate, and with a cold face ordered the thugs he had invited with a lot of money to come to the stage.

What he never expected was that An Xiabai would be so open-minded.

When the thugs approached her, she stepped back quickly, and as she retreated, she said in horror: "Help, murder! ”

Her voice could be said to have been shouted with all her might, and it soon spread to every corner of the neighborhood.

People originally thought Qin Shuang'er was pitiful, but now that An Xiabai, who was helping to speak, was also bullied, they were even more angry, and they picked up something from the ground or from the table and threw it on the table.

The old man couldn't dodge, and was hit by rotten eggs and stones of various sizes, and angrily asked the thugs to hurry over to protect himself.

The scene was suddenly chaotic.

This is the time!

An Xiabai felt that the time was about the same, and quickly rushed to Qin Shuang'er's side and helped her untie the rope.

Qin Shuang'er, who was rescued, looked confused: "Why did you want to save me?" ”

To save people is to save people, how can there be so many whys?

An Xiabai glanced at Qin Shuang'er with a complicated expression, and hurriedly took the other party's hand: "It's too late to explain, it's better to run for your life first." ”

She pulled Qin Shuang'er out of the crowd and rushed to the southwest.

At this moment, the old man found their things and trembled with anger: "Are you all blind, people ran away and didn't see it?" Hurry up and chase her, if she doesn't die today, I'll let you wastes live better than die! ”

His roar reached the ears of everyone present.

The crowd took pity on Qin Shuang'er, and spontaneously used their bodies to block the way of the thugs, and even some of them were more extreme, and directly went to pull the thugs' clothes.

By the time the thugs broke free, the distance between An Xiabai and Qin Shuang'er was already very far away.

"They shouldn't catch up with them if they're running here, right?" An Xiabai took Qin Shuang'er to hide in a forest, panting for breath while observing the movement behind him.

Qin Shuang'er was also tired, but her body was obviously better than An Xiabai, so her face was not so ugly.

"I don't know why you saved me, but I'm grateful to you." Qin Shuang'er knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed to An Xiabai a few times.

An Xiabai's heart softened, and Lian hurriedly reached out to help the person up: "You should save you." ”

Qin Shuang'er in her previous life was not thin on herself, and she could even be said to have a great kindness, she didn't have time to repay it before, and she repaid it very well in this life.

No matter how hard she tried, Qin Shuang'er refused to get up from the ground.

An Xia Bai was anxious: "Miss Qin, you better hurry up, it's not very safe here now, I'm not sure if they will catch up, if you have something to say, let's wait until you go to the official mansion." ”

She thought to herself that it was common sense that the people did not fight with the officials, and the old man and his thugs, no matter how bold they were, would not go to the government to make trouble.

Just when An Xiabai was thinking about running away, the voices of the pursuers faintly came from behind him: "I saw them passing in this direction just now, I guess they won't run too far, let's search the woods carefully, we must find out the people!" ”
