Heiwa rode a black green horse towards Bailu Village, the moon went down, and the starlight dimmed. He and his brothers had just finished a job, like planting a row of wheat or harvesting a bunch of rice, and the brothers went back to the mountains on horseback with grain, and they went alone to deliver a bag of grain to Xiao'e.

There is not a single star of lights in the big villages and small villages along the road, occasionally there are a few dog barks, and the famine has completely plunged Bailuyuan into a death-like silence, no matter how big villages and small villages can no longer organize the manpower to patrol and protect the village, even if they break into the house and rob the rich family, the neighbors who live next door to the east and west know what is going on and don't bother to say anything.

Before entering Bailu Village, Heiwa first saw Bai Xing'er's house in Jiaozhuang. Located outside the crowded Bailu Village, this hanging village is just like Taiwan or Hainan Island, which is outside the Chinese territory.

He remembered Bai Xing'er's farm deeply, the breeding cow was extremely strong, the two silver-gray horns on the head of the cow were bent into two semicircles on both sides, and the fleshy face under the neck hung down to the ground as soon as the head was bowed.

The grey donkey was as tall as a mule, and its round fur was shiny, and when he saw the mare, he jumped up and screamed.

The most striking thing is the stallion, whose red mane resembles a cluster of blooming pomegranate flowers. He knew then that a bull overpowered a cow and a cow gave birth to a calf, and a stallion overpowered a mare, and a mare gave birth to a foal, and that a donkey crushed a mare, and that a mare gave birth to neither a horse nor a donkey, but gave birth to a mule foal.

Every spring and autumn, the big and small farmers in the Bailu Plain lead the cows in estrus grass donkeys or mares to the hanging village, Bai Xing'er smiles and asks the customers to sit under the pergola to drink tea, and then lead the female animals to a fence-like wooden frame.

Every year after the summer harvest or autumn harvest, Bai Xing'er leads the breeding cow to call the donkey or the stallion horse, tie a turn of red silk around his neck, and tie a golden copper bell under the red silk, and travel to various villages; The farmer, who had been bred and had already received calves, foals, and mules, heard the tinkling of the brass bells, and brought peas with wooden buckets, and poured them into the pockets that Bai Xing'er put on the backs of the animals, and did not need to say a superfluous word of rap; Bai Xing'er on the one hand is intended to collect accounts, and on the other hand, it means to praise Zhuang.

It is the most primitive and oldest form of advertising to show the heroic appearance of breeding animals to all the farmers who raise female animals in various villages, and attract more people to lead the estrus female animals to his hanging village...... After Heiwa had that kind of affair with white peony or black peony in the cottage, she always thought of peeking at the secrets of Bai Xing'er's breeding farm when she was a child.

Heiwa drove her horse down the slow road at the east end of the village and couldn't help but be startled, and entered the kiln courtyard and jumped off the horse, but she couldn't see the familiar kiln door and kiln window, and the collapsed loess covered the original cave.

He immediately turned over and got on his horse, turned around and ran to the farm where Bai Xing'er was hanging. In the past, the farms where people and horses shouted were desolate, the wooden grids for the untamed henches had been destroyed, the farms were about closed, and in the years of great famine, the livestock had already been sold by the farmers for money for grain or sent to the slaughterhouse to sell meat, and there were ghosts to breed!

Heiwa tied the horse to the dark tree and knocked on Bai Xing'er's door, and it took a long time to hear Bai Xing'er's frightened question in the door.

Heiwa said: "Brother, you are afraid, I am Heiwa." I'll just ask you one thing, it's okay if you don't open the door. Where is my daughter-in-law going? Why did the kiln collapse?" Bai Xing'er hesitated for about a moment and then opened the latch, and said in a low voice: "Brother Heiwa!" You really don't know this yet?" Heiwa was also anxious: "What's going on, tell me what's going on?" Bai Xing'er said: "Your daughter-in-law kills people!" Heiwa was taken aback, grabbed Bai Xing'er's thin shoulder blades and asked, "Who made the poison?" You tell me the truth that you are afraid. Bai Xing'er said, "I don't know." I didn't catch a trace of a word. When the stench came out of your kiln, you found it, and then you dug up the earth and sealed the kiln. Heiwa asked again: "You really haven't heard a word and a half?" Bai Xing'er shook her head again and again: "No, no ......" Heiwa said fiercely: "Forget it, I won't trouble you." I'll tie the horse to the Tsubaki tree, you take care of it, I'll ride it later......" Heiwa straightened to find Lu Zilin's door.

As soon as Bai Xing'er informed Xiao'e of the news of Xiao'e's killing, the first thing that came to his mind was Lu Zilin's face with deep eye sockets and a slender nose.

As soon as he jumped against the wall, he fell into the courtyard with a slight leap, and when he landed on his feet, he stabbed to death a black dog that pounced on his legs.

There was no sound in the courtyard, and he inserted a blade into the crack in the door to break the latch and enter the dark upper landlord's house.

Lu Zilin slept soundly and died, and his mother-in-law fell asleep with her back to him on her side. A knife down, Lu Zilin may not even have the opportunity to open his eyes to recognize people, Heiwa thought about sitting on the Taishi chair, touched the brass hookah, twisted a pinch of hookah and stuffed it into the chimney, fought the fire sickle, and the sound of flint woke Lu Zilin.

Lu Zilin said in a sticky voice: "You, you're more addicted to smoking than me!" Lu Zilin regarded Heiwa as his mother-in-law.

Heiwa sucked the hookah and gurgled, blew the fire paper and lit the oil lamp, and looked at Lu Zilin's huge head on the jade pillow.

Lu Zilin touched the woman who was sleeping next to him and realized that something was wrong, so he turned over and asked, "Who are you?" Heiwa said, "I lit the lamp for you, and you still can't recognize it?" When Lu Zilin was secretly touching something under the pillow, Heiwa said, "Sensei touch, touch." Lu Zilin asked in a different tone: "Heiwa, who should I be......" Heiwa said: "I'll ask you something, say it's you, don't say it's you; If you move your hands and feet, your two strokes will not be better than mine's; It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, let's start the scene after we finish speaking. Do you know why I'm asking you-" Lu Zilin put on his clothes and trousers, pushed the woman next to him again, told her to make tea, turned around and said, "Old nephew! I know what you're here for. I expected you to come looking for me one day. Heiwa said, "Then don't be verbose." Lu Zilin said: "Your daughter-in-law was killed, and as soon as I heard about it, I thought of causing trouble for me." What's up? People will naturally think that you swim and fight me, and if you run away, I will kill you and get angry. But no one can think of another layer, if I want to kill Xiao'e, it is better to kill Zhaopeng! He made me sadder than anyone else made me sad. Besides, I'm not afraid that your nephew will have a heart disease, you escaped, Xiao'e came to me to cry and cry several times, and asked me to intercede with Mr. Tian and tolerate you. I'm soft-hearted, and when I see anyone crying, I cry so much that my hatred is gone, and I run away. Although I didn't say a favor for you, Mr. Tian finally forgave Xiao'e. I see that she is a woman in a panic, Zhou Ji gave her a little food, and some people also took the opportunity to make a mess! Wipe and pee on my face! How do you think I'm going to do it?" Heiwa stiffened her neck and said, "I know that your tongue is soft." If I can't think about it anymore, who only thinks that it is you who killed Xiao'e, what do you say?" Lu Zilin straightened his chest and opened his eyes and said, "If your old nephew wants to kill me, I can't help it; I won't say anything if you kill me because of something else; If you kill me to avenge Xiao'e, your old nephew will regret it in the future. After all, there will be a day when things will be clarified, and you will regret it if you understand that it was not me who killed Xiao'e; Aside people may not regret doing wrong things, you will regret it; Because you are a straight-tempered man with a righteous temper, ...... Heiwa was moved: "Have you heard of who made the poison?" Lu Zilin said: "This matter is a matter of human life, I dare not talk nonsense without real evidence." I'm just going to make sure I don't do anything wrong with your old nephew. If you have evidence that I am the poisoner, I will put my neck under your knife and cut it off you. Heiwa said, "That's good! You are now going to the kang to continue your sleep. I will come in from whence and go out threwh, lest thou open and shut the door. Lu Zilin said apologetically: "Then I won't send you rude......" After Heiwa entered Bai Jiaxuan's bedroom, she was not as calm as in Lu Zilin's house, but it was not all Lu family, only Lu Zilin was a man at home, and the Bai family had hard hands, so they couldn't help but guard against it; From the moment when he climbed the persimmon tree on the wall and fell into the courtyard, he sadly found that the nervousness and cowardice of every time he entered the courtyard when he was a child when he mowed the grass for the Bai family rose from the bottom of his heart, and he could not restrain it.

After ruling out Lu Zilin, one of the suspects, Heiwa was sure that the person who killed Xiao'e was Bai Jiaxuan, Bai Jiaxuan's reason for getting rid of Xiao'e was ten times more than Lu Zilin's, and this person was a cold and hard-hearted person who could think of it and never turn around when he ran to the end.

He pulled Bai Jiaxuan out of the bed, carried him under the kang like a chicken, and pressed the black barrel against his head.

Bai Jiaxuan didn't call or panic, after he woke up from his foggy state and understood what was happening, he stiffened his neck and didn't say a word, just guessing in his heart who this bandit was.

Heiwa said to Bai Wu, who was wrapped in a quilt: "Ming people don't do dark things. You go and light the lamp, let's make it clear. I'm Heiwa-" Bai Wu fumbled in the dark to put on his shirt and pants, and lit the oil lamp: "Heiwa, you can take whatever you want, the money is in the kang box, and the food is in the upstairs hoard...... You put the gun away......" Bai Jiaxuan sneered and said to his wife, "Don't worry, rest assured." Heiwa doesn't want your money or your food when she comes back, just to mention my head! I understand that. Heiwa said, "Understood! Just tell me, is it you or who you assigned to kill my woman?" Bai Jiaxuan said: "Then I'll make it clear!" I didn't kill her, and I didn't assign anyone else to kill her. I've never done anything in my life to do anything sneaky in the dark, you know. If your woman violates the clan rules, I will brush her with a thorn brush, and I will brush it in front of everyone in the ancestral hall, and Xiaowen will be punished in the same way if she violates the clan rules. Heiwa said, "I now believe that it was you who made the poison." In Bailu Village, I can't think of anyone who will do this. I know why you killed her—" Bai Jiaxuan said, "Then you can shoot!" Anyway, I'm going to be the head of life. The last time you had someone break my waist, then I was entitled to live as a long head. Heiwa asked, "Why do you say that I asked you to break your waist?" Bai Jiaxuan said: "You haven't looked at my waist since you were a child. Your brother said your words before he started, 'Your waist is too ......straight,'" and Heiwa said, "It's true, and when I was a child, I was afraid and uncomfortable when I saw your waist." Your longevity has arrived, so it's good to explain this to you tonight. A hammer suddenly flew into the door, and Heiwa raised her hand to separate it.

Heiwa said to Xiaowu, who rushed into the door: "If you don't want to be the patriarch anymore, you come again!" Bai Wu hugged Xiaowu.

Xiaowu said: "You let my dad go!" Something came to me, "Kill and slash and come at me." Heiwa sneered and said, "It's not your turn!" When you become a patriarch in the future, see how you behave. Xiaowu said: "You must find a substitute for the dead ghost to give you that ** to pay for your life, I will be on top; If you let go of my father, I will kill her!" Heiwa said: "If you kill it, you don't kill it, you don't kill it, how do you 'count'? Do you want to kill yourself, or did your father assign you to kill it?" Xiaowu said: "I want to kill, and no one has assigned me." Heiwa said, "I don't believe it." I only believe that your father killed him. I will take him against my life. Be honest, get out of here—" With a shake of his left hand, he dragged Bai Jiaxuan to the door at once, and bumped into a person head-on.

The man said, "I killed him." Heiwa recognized the voice, it was her father Lu San standing in front of her, blocking the door, and said angrily and quietly: "Guisun, I killed that **." ”

"This-" Heiwa was stunned for a moment and said,

"Don't stir up."

"I killed it." Lu San looked at his son more and more calmly and said,

"You let Jiaxuan go. You talk to me, kill and shoot? It's up to you!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Bai Jiaxuan raised his head suddenly, stared at Lu San and said,

"You want to save me, you deliberately took things on you, and you wiped the even out instead of wiping it clean!" Lu San didn't speak, he raised his right hand hanging next to his crotch, it was a bag wrapped in rotten cloth, and then tore off layer after layer of rotten cloth with his left hand, the steel blade of a shuttle dart was impressively presented in the light of the oil lamp, he put the steel blade of the shuttle dart at the feet of the black baby, and said, "Take it!" This is physical evidence. Bai Jiaxuan, Bai Wu's Bai Xiaowu, Bai Zhao's Bai Xiaoyi, and Xiaowu's daughter-in-law and second sister hugged outside the door, looking at Lu San's shuttle steel blade at Heiwa's feet in amazement.

Heiwa let go of the left hand that was holding Bai Jiaxuan's shoulder blade, picked up the steel blade of the shuttle dart from the ground, her eyes suddenly darkened, and her head exploded.

This double-edged pointed pike steel blade is not unfamiliar, it turned out to be installed with a mulberry stick handle more than a foot long, which is an ancestral weapon; The blood stains on the steel blade had turned black and purple, covering the originally shiny blade.

This is undoubtedly the murder weapon. Heiwa raised his head and looked at his father, and the unexpected ending made him panic and couldn't say a word.

Lu San said: "She has harmed too many people, and she can't be asked to harm people anymore." "Saying that, he straightened his chest,

"I have a pike dart for the government to inquire, but you came first. Give—stab me in the chest!" Heiwa's cheekbones writhed, and she lowered her head again, picked up the rotten cloth from the ground, wrapped it around the shuttle blade again, stuffed it into her waist and said, "Great! I'll tell you one last time and forget it. From today on, I won't recognize you......" Lu San said, "Turtle Sun! You call me big. I don't recognize you anymore!" Heiwa came out of Bai Jiaxuan's house, hurried to the dilapidated farm of Bai Xing'er in Jiaozhuang, untied her horse from the tree and turned over and rode on.

Bai Xing'er slipped out of the dark shadow and said, "Brother, go quickly." Brother, you can tell people that you have tethered a horse to me...... "The black baby has already galloped away."

He re-entered Bailu Village, turned his horse's head and came to the door of the ancestral hall in the center of the village, which had served as the headquarters of the Agricultural Cooperative, and fired three shots in succession, the sound of which shook the dead night sky.

He rode his horse through the village alley to the slow track, stood in the kiln courtyard, fired three more shots at the sky, hung his arms in silence for a moment, and then suddenly turned around and urged the horse to run onto the slow track.

The moment he turned his back to the cave and the village, a sigh welled up in his heart: I will never enter Bailu Village again until I die!
