Chapter 172: Self-inflicted
The iron head knelt at the door of the grocery store with the corpse of Mrs. Pan next to him, and this battle attracted many onlookers.
"Cuckoo, give him ten taels of silver, let him go, and if he refuses to leave, drive him away." Zhu Yuanyuan's expression was indifferent, and she no longer had the sympathy she had just now.
"You shall not live."
"Yes." The cuckoo answered.
Zhu Yuanyuan picked up another piece of spirit wood and continued to practice the rune, she had already learned the third rune, and she still had to practice more.
"Doctor Du, Miss said, give him ten taels of silver and let him go." Cuckoo said.
Old Doctor Du was persuading Tietou to leave, but Tietou didn't say a word, kneeling there and ignoring him at all.
Now that he listened to Du Juan's words, Doctor Du stopped being verbose and took out ten taels of silver from the counter.
"Son, take the money, let's go."
Tietou glanced at the hand stretched out by Old Doctor Du, he really wanted to take the ingot of silver and leave, but he couldn't.
The cold feeling of the sword resting on his neck has not subsided, he is afraid, he is afraid of death, so... The iron head stubbornly twisted his head and no longer took care of Doctor Du.
The onlookers whispered, and some people recognized that the person lying on the ground was an old woman who came to ask for food yesterday.
When he left, he was still alive, but today he turned into a cold corpse, and he also named Zhu Yuanyuan as the murderer.
Most people remained silent, with Zhu Yuanyuan's ability, it was too easy to take a person's life, but she couldn't be said to be a murderer just because of that.
Doctor Du looked pitiful and persuaded him with kind words.
"Child, it's useless for you to kneel here, our young lady is kind-hearted, she didn't do this, you still take the silver, let your relatives be buried as soon as possible."
Iron Head was unmoved, in fact, he didn't know how to take revenge or anything, he also knew that this thing was weird, but he had no choice.
He is only twelve years old, how do you know what to do when you encounter this kind of thing, you can only obediently tell him to do what he does, and he will do it.
Doctor Du saw that Tietou was obviously moved, but he didn't know why he just refused to leave, seeing that he was pitiful, a child, and couldn't move roughly, he was very helpless.
"Hey, why are you so tough, kid."
Du Juan didn't have such a good attitude as Dr. Du, and said with a straight face: "If you can't leave, if you don't leave, I'll drive people away, and you still pretend to be pitiful if you have bad intentions." ”
Cuckoo's words shocked Tietou's heart, he knew why he came to find trouble, and remembered that Mrs. Pan came here to find trouble, and died after she went back, the retribution of revenge that she said in her mouth, was she also forced to come?
Tietou guessed half right, Pan Pozi came to find trouble, it was to collect money and food, not to be forced, but to be tempted.
Iron Head was at a loss for himself, thinking of the threat of the mysterious man and the death of his grandmother, and he didn't know what to do to save his life.
Seeing that he didn't speak, he didn't mean to leave, so he directly used the system to send their grandparents and grandchildren to the river.
Old Doctor Du shook his head and sighed, "It's scattered, there's nothing to see." ”
After the crowd dispersed, a few people sneaked to the river to see if the iron head was okay, after all, people sympathized with the weak.
Iron Head sat by the river, hugged his knees and cried bitterly, he was relieved to leave the grocery store, there was not so much pressure, but he had to worry about whether he would die quietly in the middle of the night like his grandmother.
He used his crying to vent the pressure and fear in his heart, and everyone couldn't help but feel sad when they saw this scene, and some people were upset for the iron head.
"That Boss Zhu is really, just throw it away, don't leave any affection, just a child, as for being so ruthless!"
"Everyone said that it was none of her business, and they gave ten taels of silver, and Dr. Du had a good attitude."
"I know that Doctor Du is a good one, but that Zhu Yuanyuan is not necessarily, she is ruthless, I heard that she has killed a lot of people."
"Those are all bandits on the rivers and lakes, and Boss Zhu did not kill innocents indiscriminately."
Tietou cried, feeling a lot more comfortable, and seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, he said: "Actually, my grandmother was not killed by Boss Zhu, someone forced me to find trouble." ”
Iron Head was apprehensive and told the story, hoping that someone would help him find a way to get him from the disaster.
It's a pity that the kind-hearted neighbor Uncle Ma didn't approve of him coming to Zhu Yuanyuan's trouble, so he didn't follow, it was the dog girl who found someone to send him and Pan Po over, she was afraid of being affected, and left as soon as she was sent to the door, he didn't want to find a familiar person, so he could only tell strangers.
The two people who were arguing looked at each other and asked, "Who forced you to come?" ”
Iron Head shook his head, "I don't know, I didn't see anyone else. ”
Several people looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Those who dare to secretly calculate Zhu Yuanyuan are definitely not ordinary people, they are all afraid of getting involved in this kind of battle, if they are involved, it will be bad to end up like Mrs. Pan.
"Oops, it's getting late, it's time for me to go home and cook."
"Me too, the work in the field is not finished yet, let's go together."
Three or four people walked away quickly, as if they were afraid that something would happen if they walked slowly.
Tietou was stunned, he thought that these people sympathized with him and would help him, but who knew that they would all be gone at once.
Seeing that only the iron head was left, the dog girl sneakily got down from a small boat and shouted in a suppressed voice: "Iron head,... Iron head, this way, come here. ”
If the dog brought him here, she is also responsible for bringing him back, otherwise the saliva in the neighbors will spray her to death.
Tietou saw that the dog girl was like seeing a relative, and his body regained a trace of warmth, even if she looked disgusted, he didn't mind.
Back at home in Loess Town, the dog didn't care about him, shook his hand and left, the iron head felt cold in his heart, for the first time in his life, he felt that this world was cold and full of malice.
Zhu Yuanyuan's heart couldn't calm down, so she had to put down what she was doing and come out for a walk.
"Miss, you're tired all day, why don't you go to Taoyuan for a walk, Lord Yan is also here." Cuckoo proposed.
"That guy walks around the garden all day long, and he doesn't feel bored." Zhu Yuanyuan smiled slightly.
went to Taoyuan, and Du Juan went to the workshop with interest, not disturbing the space of Zhu Yuanyuan and Yan Bufan.
Yan Bufan sat cross-legged under the peach blossom tree, his eyes closed, as if he was meditating and practicing.
Zhu Yuanyuan walked lightly behind Yan Bufan, blew lightly on his face, and said, "Xiao Fanfan, what are you thinking?" ”
The corners of Yan Bufan's mouth curved slightly, he couldn't help laughing every time he heard this title, and he also politely objected, but Zhu Yuanyuan insisted that it was good, so he had to follow her.
He opened his eyes and glanced around, but luckily no one heard.
"I'm thinking about you." Yan Bufan looked at Zhu Yuanyuan, his eyes and expressions became gentle, and the ruthlessness of the past was swept away.
