() "It was the collusion of officials and bandits." Gu Ziyuan stared at him and whispered, his palms clenched slightly unconsciously.

Something complicated came to mind.

Those people cried for a long time before they gradually calmed down, and Bai Rong asked worriedly, "Then where are you going to settle down next?" ”

It didn't look like they were going to continue on their way, they probably sat down with self-defeating and waited for fate.

Sure enough, they shook their heads one after another: "Nothing is gone, what's the use of going anywhere, if you starve to death on the road, it can be regarded as relief, and it will be a hundred." ”

"Yes, what's the use of living, there is no way out of endless suffering and hardship."

Their mood was at the bottom, Bai Rong couldn't bear it, wanted to cheer them up, and said comfortingly: "Don't think like this, life is to live, as long as you want to live, there are thousands of roads, and there is always a place to return home." ”

The old man sighed, and his words were full of sorrow: "Girl, what you say is good, but this world is so difficult, when will it end?" We don't want to be rich and rich, we just want to have a home and live a stable life. ”

When will it be the end.

This sentence made Bai Rong slightly stunned, it was not that they didn't want to live, but they had encountered too much suffering, and the light in their hearts was wiped out little by little, and they were in the dark and had no way out, so they had no direction.

At this time, a panicked shout was heard not far away.

"Girl, what's wrong with you, my girl? Don't sleep, my mother is here, open my eyes and see my mother. ”

"There's a situation over there, let's go over and take a look." Under the tree where Gu Ziyuan looked, there was a pair of down-and-out mother and son.

I saw the woman holding a boy of five or six years old, who was skinny, slightly pale, and weak and closed his eyes.

"This kid is probably hungry, don't worry, big sister." Bai Rong took out a piece of dry food shortbread from the package, broke it and put it in the palm of his hand, fed it into the child's slightly open mouth little by little, and then used some water to let him swallow it well.

The child tasted the fragrance of the cake, began to ease his senses, opened his eyes, and gradually gobbled up a little, grabbing Bai Rong's hand.

"Good boy, eat slowly, don't worry." Bai Rong held his back and patted him gently while feeding, afraid that he would choke.

When the woman on the side saw this, she didn't know what to stimulate, so she turned around and covered her face and cried lowly.

I heard her wipe her tears and mutter: "As the child's mother, but I can't support him, what qualifications do I have to be his mother?" ”

Hearing the sound of the mother crying, the child stopped eating, and whispered: "Mother, don't cry, I will be obedient in the future." ”

Gu Ziyuan asked, "Where is the child's father?" ”

In this case, why is the head of the family not on his side?

This question touched the woman again, and her face was sad: "He, he is sick and gone, leaving us mother and son, if it were not for those officials who forced us to have no way out, my husband would not have fallen ill because of lack of money for medical treatment." ”

In the end, the words are inevitably mixed with resentment.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up." Gu Ziyuan said apologetically.

The woman shook her head, she had already silently accepted what happened to her, the child suddenly coughed twice with some discomfort, Bai Rong secretly felt that something was wrong, reached out and touched the child's forehead, and was almost scalded back.

The child was not only hungry, but also sick, Bai Rong persuaded the woman: "This child seems to have a fever, and if it drags on any longer, it will worsen. ”

Hearing this, the woman was slightly stunned, anxiety flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her head in frustration the next second: "Good Samaritan, thank you for your help, I have no money and can't give anything back, you can continue to move forward, don't worry about me." ”

Seeing that the woman actually wanted to give up, Bai Rong couldn't help but feel a little stunned: "Can you bear to see your child like his father?" Obviously there is a chance to live, even if there is still a breath of life, you can't ignore it. ”

She took a deep breath and said a long time: "I once had a friend who I had known for a long time, she gave her most precious life for me, I lived, not only because I wanted to live, but also because I wanted to live her share of life together!" ”

"So, let this child live with his father's hope, okay, aren't you also each other's hopes."

Why do you have to see the end to be safe? As long as you live forward, you will be able to go where you want to go one day.

The reason why she and Gu Ziyuan never thought of giving up and escaping for their lives was because they firmly believed that one day they would be able to stand on the land of the capital without fear and without any one to stop.

Shocked by her words, the woman looked at the white face with reddish eyes, and there was a light flashing in her eyes

The man was impressed by the faith in his eyes, and finally nodded heavily.

Gu Ziyuan's clenched palms were also loosened, and the worries about her along the way were completely put aside, and Bai Rong was able to open her heart and tell others about Xiao Tao's death, indicating that she had passed the threshold in her heart, instead of being overwhelmed by Xiao Tao.

At this time.

On the other side, after Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan left, the county residents missed them a little.

However, a bad news woke up the small county town that ordered the order, whether the Li family was slaughtered by the wicked, or the body was found in broad daylight, the whole town was agitated and began to look for the murderer.

As soon as the county commander saw that the deceased was actually the Li family, the muffled voice that had been born for several days suddenly dissipated a lot, and he took the official to the Li family to check the body in a happy mood, and accidentally found that the Li family's death was because he was injured by a sword.

He thought about it for a while, laughed treacherously, and said sharply to the people who gathered around: "The murderer must be the man and woman from before, they threatened the Li family to help them restore their innocence, and now they will flee after killing people!" ”

The noisy crowd fell silent for an instant, but after only a long silence, the people below began to talk.

"We don't believe it, look at this scene, where can two people be like it, there must be more murderers."

"As soon as the two great benefactors left, the Li family died so tragically, I am afraid that if it wasn't for the county order, I would not be able to get angry, so I turned my head and secretly vented my anger with the Li family."

"You are right, this county order has targeted the two benefactors everywhere before, and today it is estimated that it is a thief shouting to catch a thief by slandering the benefactors with such fanfare."

Seeing that those county citizens turned the spearhead on her in an instant, the county magistrate's lungs almost exploded when he heard their words, and he couldn't wait to vomit these foolish people to death with a mouthful of old blood: "You, you people, talking nonsense!" ”

"My lord, you can't just slander others, the affairs of the Li family must be strictly investigated, otherwise, we will go to the capital to find justice for the Li family by ourselves!" Several relatives of the Li family were indignant about this, and they were bound to find out the real culprit.

As soon as the county commander heard that he was going to make trouble in the capital, he panicked in his heart, and if it was a big trouble, it was estimated that his official position would not be guaranteed.

It's just that he pretended to be calm on the surface and promised them to investigate the matter strictly.

But how could he really investigate, so he sent someone to pretend to be at will, and waited for those county people to forget about it.
