After a distant look at the crowd, Kang Ting saw that the drowning people were stacked on a wooden cart, and it was a thin old horse pulling the cart.

And in this moment, Kang Ting saw a lifeless face on the flatbed truck, facing his side.

Seeing the face of the corpse clearly, Kang Ting took a step back in shock, although the skin of the corpse had been blistered white by the river, but the face was clearly the one he had seen last night. The few missing teeth in the corpse's wide open mouth were still kicked down by him, but the terrifying thing is that when he saved the girl last night and drove people away, the eyes of these people were still good, and now Kang Ting squeezed over to take a closer look, and found that several corpses were the same, leaving only two soaked blood holes.

With a chill behind him, Kang Ting remembered what the girl and Er Niu had reminded him of last night, saying that there were man-eating ghosts in the mountains and forests.

The car pulling the corpse was gradually moving away from the street, Kang Ting was stunned and stared at it in place, and suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder, and the frightened Kang Ting subconsciously clenched his fist and was about to hit it, but turned around, but saw Xiao Wu was tilting his head and retreating, and seeing Kang Ting retracting his hand, he hurriedly shouted as usual when he was fighting: "Kang Ting, don't hit people in the face!" ”

Kang Ting withdrew his hand in time, looked at Xiao Wu, and said with a smile: "I just lost my mind." ”

Xiao Wu approached and said, "I know what you're thinking?" ”

Kang Ting was puzzled, "You know? ”

Xiao Wu clasped his palms together, bowed a few times to God, and said: "You must be thanking God, bless you with great fortune and great life, you also passed through the mountains and forests last night, but fortunately you arrived home safely." However, it is too dangerous, it seems that we can go around in the future, and if we really can't go around, we can't walk that road at night. ”

Kang Ting nodded, he really felt very weird, so he thought that in the future, the mountains and forests would still be able to go if he could not go.

Thinking of this, Kang Ting somehow, remembered the mysterious girl last night, Kang Ting couldn't tell if she was a human or a ghost, if it was really a human, then if he didn't make a move last night, then the girl's fate must be extremely miserable, and those people died and suffered retribution, if the girl was a ghost, then those people would kill themselves, not die in the mountains and forests, but also go to harm the girl elsewhere, so think about it, and deserve it.

After watching the excitement, Kang Ting and Xiao Wu went back to the dart bureau together, entered the gate, and found that the people in the same dart bureau were talking about the tragic situation of the corpse, and a few of them shook their heads and said that it was a pity, and there was one who said that the prefect of Bian Ancheng saw that there was nothing to be fished for, so he decided that those people were drunk and drowned, and they didn't ask about the eyes at all.

Kang Ting thought that the prefect may prefer to see the case, a girl was bullied by a few bastards, and she was humiliated and sued to the yamen, and those bastards held white flowers and silver, and told the prefect about their "grievances", and then the prefect dealt with it impartially, and used his own majesty to persuade the shameless ** son to go home and wake up, if the woman did not follow, the prefect would be selfless and selfless, and detain the person to deal with it.

In the past few years, there have been many such cases in Bian Ancheng.

Don't think about it so much, Kang Ting turned around and went to be busy again, the shopkeeper of the dart bureau is a good character, probably also heard that the prefect's brother-in-law came to find Kang Ting, so he sent someone to call Kang Ting, and discussed to arrange Kang Ting to go on another long dart, and come back in a few days, maybe the prefect's brother-in-law's anger will disappear.

Kang Ting didn't want to dodge in his heart, but if he insisted on refusing, it hurt the shopkeeper's kindness, so after a little hesitation, Kang Ting should get off this errand, and led a few guys with good bodies and brains in the dart bureau to drive a carriage to escort a few boxes of silk and send them to the direction of the capital.

It was the dog days when I was on the road, either the sun was exposed or the rain was continuous, and I sent things back and back, I am afraid that the sky is going to be autumn.

Stop-and-go during the trip, everything is expected by Kang Ting, from Bian An to the capital, put in a whole year, it is also a big job, Kang Ting ran with the old man of the dart bureau a few times before, to what customs and rules in various places, what kind of road to the capital, he has finished thinking before leaving, and then went to the border near Bian An, sure enough, the wind blowing in the valley has brought a trace of autumn coolness.

Standing on the hillside that must be passed to Bian An, Kang Ting stood on a high place and looked in the direction of Bian An City, where the scene was the same as usual, but it was far away, as if it was far away in the mountains and forests on the other side of the sky, and the large dark green had already revealed a sporadic yellowishness.

After returning to the dart bureau to explain the errand, Kang Ting returned home as soon as possible, and his mother, who had not seen him for a long time, happily made a table of dishes, only his father began to frown after a short period of joy.

Kang Ting knew what his father was worried about, when he came home, he came back from the field of his own vegetable garden, estimating that half of the vegetable garden had been harvested, and now there were only a few loose trees, and his father and mother were diligent on weekdays, even when the business of the vegetable stall was at its worst, and there were not so many vegetables left, which meant that his family had not sold vegetables for a long time. After hurrying home, Kang Ting saw that his father and mother were in good health and were not sick, but his father couldn't stop sighing, nine out of nine, he was worried about the vegetables in the garden.

Kang Ting set up the dishes and chopsticks in front of his father, poured out some of the loose wine he had beaten, picked up the bowl and took a sip before asking, "But the bully doesn't allow us to sell vegetables?" ”

Kang Ting's father didn't speak, only his face was full of sadness, and he listened to his mother who was serving food, wiped a handful of tears and said: "In this Bian An City, he has become a king." ”

Kang Ting's father took a sip of the wine his son poured, sighed, looked at Kang Ting and comforted: "Throughout the ages, the people have not fought with the officials, we are just ordinary people, and the confidence from there is the same as that of the officials." I said Ting'er, I heard a few words about you, even though the girl of the Bai family who made wine was beautiful, she had a pungent temperament, and it was not something that people like us could live in, you see you...... Ay. Father Kang Ting's next words didn't know how to say it, and he couldn't help but sigh again.

"Ting'er, there are many good girls in Bian Ancheng, and you are a good young man, don't be dead-hearted, always hang yourself on a tree, you see the girl of the Wang family married by Xiao Wu, isn't it a good daughter-in-law."

“……”

Kang Ting ate the meal, listened to the second elder, and originally wanted to comfort them a few words, but who knew that when he mentioned the Wang girl, he didn't know where to start.

Who knew that when Kang Tingniang saw that her son didn't speak, she thought that he remembered the white girl who made wine again, and persuaded her again: "Look carefully, the girl of the Bai family is obviously not easy to look at, so it is better for me to ask Zhang Matchmaker to ......"

"Mother."

Kang Ting couldn't listen anymore, so he explained: "I'm just used to drinking the Bai family's wine on weekdays, so I often go to the Bai family to buy wine, I haven't looked at what the white girl looks like, I don't know how the white girl fell in love with me?" ”

Women are suspicious by nature, sometimes comparable to the priest who cracked the case in the play, Kang Tingniang asked rhetorically: "Then why do you prefer to drink the Bai family's wine?" There are so many wines in Bian Ancheng, why don't you drink the Zhang family and the Li family? Speaking of which, your cousin-in-law's brother-in-law's family is a winemaker, and the family's business, why don't you take care of it? ”

When these words were asked, Rao is Kangting was open-minded, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, for fear that if he said something again, he would be caught by his mother again. But there is a sentence, that is, his father said that "the people do not fight with the officials", Kang Ting agreed, not because he was timid and afraid of the prefect's brother-in-law, but because he could go out with ease, and there were parents at home, they were old and couldn't stand the toss, and they couldn't sleep all night with a few vegetables, let alone fighting with the government bullies.

Kang Ting didn't know the taste, he took a few bites indiscriminately, and the previous arrogance in his heart slowly faded, thinking that a little person like him, if there was no more turmoil, it would completely make the prefect's brother-in-law think that he had won, and let him go.

Kang Ting thought so beautifully, but it turns out that sometimes if you blindly tolerate it, you think it's okay, but the other party thinks that your humility is far from enough.

At night, Kang Ting finished eating, had nothing to do to go around the street, was bored and was about to go home, took a shortcut and passed a small alley, the small alley was black and pressing, because there were few residents, there was no light from the windows on the road, Kang Ting walked and walked, and he heard the sound of footsteps behind him.

Kang Ting was kind, thinking that he was also a person in a hurry, so he thought that the alley was narrow to avoid bumping into each other, he walked faster, and it was spacious out of the alley, but Kang Ting found that his steps were fast, and the other party's pace was also speeding up, so he thought that people were in a hurry, so he stopped and avoided the wall to the side, so that the other party could pass first, but Kang Ting found that once he stopped, the person was going to stop.

Vigilant in his heart, Kang Ting asked the man, "Who are you?" ”

The man was silent, Kang Ting only heard a small sound in the dark, as if the man had opened something in the dark, and then, a faint medicinal fragrance came into Kang Ting's nose, Kang Ting sniffed lightly, and reacted that the secret way was not good, and he was just about to run away, when he noticed that there were people coming from both ends of the alley, and he had begun to be dizzy, and his legs and feet did not obey the call.

With a slam on the back of his head, Kang Ting was dizzy for a while, fell to the ground, and in a dazed state, he heard someone hurriedly say: "Quick, load it up, and throw it into the mountains and forests." ”
