Chapter 72: Washing
My body jerked violently, and I woke up.
"Xiaobai! Hey, wake up, wake up! ”
Suddenly, someone grabbed my arm, and I reflexively shook it off, and immediately sat up and shrank to the side. When I looked up, I saw Ink looking at me worriedly.
He said softly, "Xiaobai, it's okay, it's okay...... It's us. Ink's hand stretched out halfway and slowly retracted it.
I saw gauze wrapped around almost every part of my body, and I remembered what happened last night. I looked at the ink and said excitedly, "I didn't kill anyone!" I didn't! ”
Shui Mo nodded, his face was unusually heavy, "We all know, let's not talk about this for now." ”
Bai Ye walked to the side of the bed and leaned over, "Stinky boy, it's all over, don't think about it, it's okay." ”
"What do you mean they're all gone? What do you mean by not thinking about it? How could it be okay! I cried, "You know what? They say the whole Sun Village is dead! They're all dead! Hundreds of lives! Those two madmen, they actually killed everyone! Wrong...... Wrong! They also left a living mouth, and then deliberately let that person see my face and put the charge of bloodbathing Sun Village on my head! "I almost jumped out of bed, and then I felt a throbbing pain in my chest, a sharp cough, and a smell of blood in my mouth.
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, don't get excited, you are not lightly injured this time." Ink pressed against my shoulder, and he looked at the corner of my mouth, frowning.
I reached out and touched it, and my fingertips were bright red.
Shui Mo casually put on a coat for me, and continued, "We all know what happened, and we have explained it to the people of Niujia Village, your first task now is to heal the injury first, and we will deal with other things." ”
"You deal with it? How do you deal with it? I questioned, "Will the people of Niujia Village believe the explanations of your outsiders?" And you're still my friends. ”
"Knowing it with reason, moving it with emotion. How can I be stumped by the things on my lips? Shui Mo smiled and patted the bed, "If we can't be even, why are you sleeping on the hot kang in Niujia Village now?" ”
"Hundreds of lives, you can settle it with your mouth?"
I looked out the window, the sky was blue and the sun was white, and it was unusually quiet outside. They're not tying everyone up, are they? I lifted the quilt and jumped under the bed, only to fall to the ground as if I had no bones.
Shui Mo hurriedly helped me up, "I said Xiaobai, can you lie down on the bed honestly, I told you that you were not lightly injured this time!" ”
Bai Ye also scolded, "What are you still talking about?" Every time you act alone, you get injured and come back, if you do this again, I will let Brother Huo send you back to Nanjing and lock you up! ”
I sat on the edge of the bed, pressed one hand to my chest, and looked at Bai Ye, "I want to see the person who accused me of murder, I have something to ask him." ”
"If you have anything to say, wait until you can walk on the ground, and then ask him yourself." Bai Ye had no room for negotiation and sat next to me.
I continued to ask, "Then I want to meet the people from Niujia Village, the old man who sells cabbage." ”
Bai Ye looked at me impatiently, "Where did you come from so many people you want to see?" This is the countryside, do you think that it is like in the city, the old man is idle and has nothing to do, playing cards and bragging in a circle waiting for you to send? ”
Shui Mo echoed, "Yes, Xiaobai, if you think that the two of us are not enough to accompany you, I will immediately call Brother Huo and the housekeeper in." ”
"You said that you have explained it to the people of Niujia Village, I don't believe it, seeing is believing." I looked directly at the ink, he didn't move for a long time, and I made a motion to get up.
Seeing this, Shui Mo immediately held me down, "Hey, what do you want to do?" ”
Ink looked at Bai Ye, Bai Ye pulled his face and walked to the door, I thought he was annoyed by me and left directly, but I saw him open the door and say something to the housekeeper at the door, the housekeeper nodded and left.
Bai Ye turned to me and said, "If you can't finish the work in other people's fields, you will make trouble!" The suspicion is getting worse and worse, and when I go back, I must take you to the doctor, you kid is definitely going to do psychological counseling! ”
I ignored him, and after a while, the old man who sold cabbage came in with his head down.
I looked at the old man, who had long since lost his previous arrogance, his head drooping, his hands in his cuffs, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.
"People are coming, what do you want to ask?" Bai Ye said, "If it's okay, I'll let him go back!" As soon as Bai Ye's words fell, the old man turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!" I shouted, and the old man turned around, still with his head down, and I said to him, "I didn't kill anyone, I don't know what happened to Sun Village, but I didn't hurt any of them, including the livestock there." ”
"We got it." The old man's tone was steady, and he couldn't hear a trace of emotion.
I thought to myself, this is not the right reaction...... "You look up at me." ”
Shui Mo said on the side, "That's right, you look up and take a good look at our Xiaobai, what kind of person has you beaten up?" Such a handsome guy with such spirits, now his whole face is swollen like a pig's head! I was coughing up blood just now! I'm telling you, it's definitely an internal injury! Maybe there will be some disabilities and sequelae, and if you can't marry a daughter-in-law in the future, you will be responsible! ”
I looked at the ink helplessly, "I'm not going to say this. ”
"Huh? Isn't it? Shui Mo said blankly, "Then why do you want him to see you?" ”
I looked at the old man, "Uncle, I didn't want to see you to question you anything, and I didn't mean to blame you. ”
When I said this, the old man raised his eyes and glanced at me, but remained silent.
I continued, "I asked you to come here just to make sure you believe that I didn't kill anyone, that I was forced? As I spoke, I glanced at Bai Ye and the ink.
The old man looked at them too, and lowered his head again, and said nothing.
Bai Ye said to the old man, "If you have anything, the more you don't say anything, the more blind this kid will be, and he thinks that we threaten and intimidate you, what will happen to you!" ”
After a while, the old man sighed and said, "They didn't threaten us, we blamed you for it, and the young man couldn't help it." With that, he bowed to me and turned to leave.
I exclaimed, "Oh, I said! I'm not done yet! ”
The old man went out without looking back.
"Stop yelling! People have also seen and asked, this time I believe we have already explained it to you, right? Talk less and rest more, stop and recuperate. "Bai Ye got up and was going out.
"Why are you going?" I asked.
Bai Ye looked back and smiled, "Ho! When I was a child, I didn't see you so sticky to me, what can I do, cook for you! I'll leave it to you, this stinky boy. He explained to Ink and then left.
When the footsteps were far away, I looked at the ink, "Now there are only two of us left in this room." ”
He wrapped his clothes tightly and bit his lip, "What are you going to do?" Are you trying to scare me? ”
"You're less fucking disgusting! Say! Did something happen? I didn't bother to beat around the bush with him, "Why did you suddenly show up last night?" How did the people of Niujia Village get settled by you? ”
Shui Mo stretched his neck and poked out the window, then turned to me and said, "You still have the face to ask me!" I told you, when I got down there and tied a branch to tell me that I was safe, why did you tie a tree directly to me? I dragged it on it for a long time, and I thought it was water below, you were soaked or something, dead and heavy, and I couldn't pull it up with sweat! ”
"Less poverty!" I asked, "You guys also rappelled?" ”
"Of course! We don't have the ability to jump off a cliff like an immortal! Shui Mo said, "You don't even know what kind of rush I was in at that time!" I'll go back and call someone right away, your old man has left me all the way, blame me for not looking at you, and scolding me like a dog! He continued, "Fortunately, we later found out the last rope that the beard hid in, hey, what kind of heart did you say this man had, he obviously had gloves, and he didn't give them to us at that time." ”
I said in my heart, I wasted his two legs, he wished I fell off the cliff and died, how could he still give us gloves?
I asked, "You're all here, what should I do over there?" ”
"How can you manage so much? At that time, we were so scared by you that our souls were gone, but we risked our lives to come down to you overnight. Those bearded people usually don't do anything to lose their conscience, and what happened in Tuoling Peak will not be loud about it. ”
"Then how did you talk about the people in Niujia Village? Really didn't threaten anyone? I said, "I could see Brother Huo coming with a gun!" ”
Shui Mo was a little surprised, "Did you still see Brother Huo at that time?" When I ran to you, you were unconscious. ”
"I saw Brother Huo, what's wrong?"
"Then you don't see anyone else?"
"Others?" It suddenly occurred to me that before I fainted, I seemed to see a person standing behind Brother Huo, it couldn't be Xiao Fan! After a moment, I realized that it was impossible, if it was a little fan, I would have seen him when I woke up.
I said, "I saw a person standing behind Brother Huo, but I didn't see clearly, who was it?" ”
Shui Mo squinted his eyes and looked at me, "It's the key person who gave you back your innocence." ”
"Who the hell is that?" I said urgently.
"Your future stepmother." The ink is crossed with legs, dangling on tiptoe.
"Huh? Stepmother? I was shocked, "Avgere?" Is Avzhele still alive? ”
"I don't know if it's her life or yours, it's thanks to her survival that I saved you temporarily." Ink said.
"Do all the people in Niujia Village believe in Avrele?"
Shui Mo said, "How can I say it, it is unrealistic to say that the people of Niujia Village completely believe that you did not kill anyone, because the people who testify against you now have different words with Afgere, and both of them are survivors of Sun Village, and everyone doesn't know who to believe for a while." But fortunately, Avgerle's father has a pivotal position in Sun Village, and what her daughter said is naturally not light, so at present, it seems that you still have an advantage in this battle. ”
"Ink ...... In addition to the two of them, the other people from Sun Village ...... Are they all really dead? "I still can't believe that such a beautiful village and such kind villagers have disappeared forever.
Shui Mo sighed, "Xiaobai, there are some things that no one can control, and if they happen, they have to accept it." ”
"Does Avzhele really believe me? Could she have spoken for me because of Bai Ye? I asked.
"You look up to your old man too much! Can Bai Ye alone be worthy of the Avgerle family and the entire Sun Village? ”
"Didn't she see 'my face when I killed someone'? The people from Sun Village said that they watched 'me' kill people. ”
"She also watched 'you' kill people." "She said that at that time, she hid in the room where we lived before and didn't dare to come out, and saw through the crack in the door that the person had killed his parents, and then she had been hiding in the hole in the ground under the table, and through the gap between the floors, she saw that the person had been searching the house at that time...... But Avzhele says that if that person were you, you would have found her out of the cave and killed her, because she had only told you the secret of the cave alone. ”
I asked, "Where is Avgerle now?" Why haven't you seen her all this time? ”
"I used to stay with Brother Huo, but now, I should be by Bai Ye's side."
"Actually, Avgerle doesn't fully believe me, does he?" I paused and said, "She just doesn't want to believe that person is me, so she doesn't want to see me right now." ”
Shui Mo looked at me, "Xiaobai, you have to look at it, after all, they are all mortals, seeing the same face and killing someone, and believing that it is not the same person, it is difficult for anyone to accept this matter." ”
I asked, "How did you find Avgere?" ”
"Who is she we looking for, she ran over by herself!" Shui Mo said, "We just came out of the cave to find you, and we saw her standing in front of the cave in a sluggish spirit...... Bai Ye explained to her for a long time, and with the secret of the cave in their house, she finally chose to stand on our side. ”
"Do you know how the people of Niujia Village know about evil spirits? They opened their mouths and closed their mouths last night, and evil spirits called me. ”
"The man from Sun Village said you told him...... Oh no, no, it was the murderer who told him. ”
"Why did those two madmen tell him such a thing?"
"Who knows, or how to say they're crazy!" Shui Mo leaned over and whispered, "Now that the evil spirit has spread among the villagers, we have broken our mouths, so that they are suspicious that it is just the murderer who deceived them in order to confuse the public." But after all, the murderer was in front of him, and he took out the internal organs of other people's wives and children with his bare hands, but as long as he is a human being, even if he has that mind, he doesn't have that strength. ”
As soon as I thought of that picture, my teeth itched with hatred, "Murder must pay for life!" ”
"The two of them have done a lot of immoral things, they should bear it, and they can't run away from a single one." Ink patted me and said, "Whether you want to solve a case or catch a thief, you have to heal your injuries first." Even if it's for the sake of poor buddy, you have to get better as soon as possible, you don't want to see Shangxian come back, just invite everyone to drink dog broth, right? ”
"Actually, Shangxian doesn't like to eat dog meat as much as you think, he likes to eat grilled fish."
"Don't care what Shangxian likes to eat, you can lie down again, sleep if you can, and I'll call you when the meal is ready."
I nodded, and before taking off my coat, I habitually touched my pocket and realized that it was not my clothes, "What about my coat before?" ”
Shui Mo took it from the end of the bed and handed it to me, "This dress is all rotten like what Yuhuazi is wearing, what are you looking for it, I almost threw it away just now." ”
I rummaged through my pockets - empty! Hakuji's collar is gone!
