Zhang Xiaolei left the mountain occupied by Li Fengwu with anger.

For the village of Qianma ahead, he decided to take a detour.

To cross Qianma Village, there are two roads to walk.

One road passes right past the entrance of Qianma Village, while the other road is between the mountains and forests, which can be bypassed from behind the village.

Zhang Xiaolei walked among the mountains and forests, his mood gradually eased a little, and he no longer thought about Li Fengwu.

As he walked, he suddenly heard a faint cry in front of him.

Curiosity drove Zhang Xiaolei to take a few more steps forward, and when he turned a corner of a forest, he finally saw the crying man.

It was a woman who sat on a tree stump, wiping her tears with rags from time to time, and her face was red from crying.

Seeing Zhang Xiaolei, she quickly turned her head away and sobbed softly.

Zhang Xiaolei stepped forward and asked the woman, "Auntie, it's almost dusk now, why are you crying here if you don't go back to cook for your husband?" ”

The woman whimpered, "I cooked and no one ate, my husband died." ”

"Dead? Which village is the aunt from? ”

"Qianma Village."

"Oh."

Zhang Xiaolei nodded, then bypassed the woman, ready to move on.

When he had walked a few feet, the woman suddenly shouted, "Do you have a conscience when you just turn around and go?" ”

Zhang Xiaolei turned around and said in surprise: "Auntie, why don't I have a conscience?" ”

"Why don't you know a few words of comfort?"

"I'm not related to my aunt, and your husband has nothing to do with me when you die, what ...... do I have to comfort me" Zhang Xiaolei said honestly, "I just heard your crying and felt a little noisy, so I asked you." ”

For the former horse village.

Zhang Xiaolei really couldn't get interested.

The woman cried, "My husband is dead, and I don't dare to cry in the village, so I come here to vent for a while." I hid in the mountains and forests, and you still think I cry noisily, and you have no conscience. ”

Zhang Xiaolei nodded: "Oh, I was wrong, apologize." ”

With that, he turned away again.

The woman suddenly stood up and walked towards Zhang Xiaolei, crying as she walked: "Can't you really comfort me?" I wanted to cry here until dark, but the more I cried, the more uncomfortable I felt, and if there was no one to talk to, I was afraid that I would go crazy. ”

Zhang Xiaolei sighed and said, "Auntie, it's not that I don't want to comfort you. We also know a little about your Qianma Village. Qianma Village has this retribution, which is evil and evil. Now that your husband is dead, have you ever thought about the children who were mutilated in your village? ”

The woman retorted, "What do those children have to do with me? I only cried that I didn't have a husband. ”

Zhang Xiaolei shook his head and said: "You only care about yourself, but you didn't think that those innocent children who were abducted and trafficked, I don't know how many were burned to death by the fire." ”

"Burned to death by fire?"

The woman listened with some confusion: "What are you talking about?" ”

Zhang Xiaolei subconsciously said: "Isn't there a fire in your village, and only more than 40 people escaped?" ”

"Yes."

"Aren't there a lot of kidnappers in your village?"

"Yes."

Zhang Xiaolei snorted: "Isn't that it?" I don't know how many innocent children were killed in that fire. ”

The woman wondered, "What are you talking about, those children have already gone back, how can they be burned to death by the fire?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Xiaolei was suddenly a little surprised, and the woman continued: "Not only our village, but also the children of the surrounding villages, have also gone back early. ”

"Why do I not understand the more I listen...... "Zhang Xiaolei asked, "all the way down, all the abducted children in the village have gone home?" ”

The woman nodded, "Yes." ”

"Who brought it back?"

"Their parents, the same villagers who had been abducted before, came to the neighborhood to run errands, and when they saw some familiar children, they went back to inform their parents and fellow villagers, and they came together from several villages around them to get the children back."

"Meaning...... The children who were abducted last month went home? ”

"That's right."

When Zhang Xiaolei heard this, he only felt that the world was spinning.

All...... All went back......

Li Fengwu's words also came to his mind.

"I'll take you 2,000 taels to help you get those children back, count your remaining money, and pay back your money, and finally let you keep 700 taels."

Darn!

It turns out that the children have already gone back!

Zhang Xiaolei only felt as if something was blocked in his throat, he gasped for breath and muttered to himself: "I should have two thousand five hundred taels, but now it has become five hundred taels...... Two thousand five hundred and twenty ...... Five hundred taels ......"

The woman couldn't understand Zhang Xiaolei's words, and she asked, "What are you muttering?" ”

The more Zhang Xiaolei thought about it, the more angry he became, he kicked his legs, almost didn't catch his breath, and sat directly on the ground.

"Deceitful bastard...... "No, he didn't lie, the kids really went back." No, he's liaring...... No, he didn't lie...... If he really asked someone to bring me two hundred taels of silver, it would not be a lie! ”

Thinking of the two thousand taels that he lost like this, Zhang Xiaolei felt a deep grievance in his heart.

How could he be so excessive?

It's not easy to get some money on his own, how can he cheat it all?

Thinking that the silver from the white flowers flowed into Li Fengwu's pocket like this, Zhang Xiaolei's heart became more and more uncomfortable, and his eyes even reddened.

When the woman saw that Zhang Xiaolei also wanted to cry, she wondered: "My husband died, so I'm crying here." And you didn't have a dead husband, why are you crying? ”

"What I lost is more valuable than your husband...... Zhang Xiaolei rubbed his eyes and choked up, "Auntie, can you comfort me a few words?" ”

The woman cried, "I just want someone to comfort me!" ”

They both sat on the stump of the tree and wept.

Zhang Xiaolei wiped his tears, his heart full of sadness.

Two years.

It took him two years to get his hands on the money.

It's good now, I was deceived by Li Fengwu!

Charlatans, as expected, are not credible!

I cried until dusk, and the woman finally wiped away her tears and said to Zhang Xiaolei: "I want to go back and get some food for the baby, and I can't cry here with you anymore." ”

"Then auntie, you go, I'll be quiet by myself."

"Why don't you go to us," said the woman...... "and when it is night, there may be jackals, tigers, and leopards." There is no shop in front of the village here, only we can rest. ”

"There are still dead people in your village, I don't want to go over, I don't want to die."

"Then aren't you afraid of wolves here?"

"I'm afraid."

"The people who died in the village are all from this village, and you will be fine."

Zhang Xiaolei thought about it, and finally agreed.

In this barren mountain range, it is not safe to spend the night.

The woman took Zhang Xiaolei around several detours in the mountains and forests, and finally came to a cave and said to Zhang Xiaolei: "The people in the village live here, you rest for one night today, and continue on the road tomorrow." ”

In the cave, there are many people resting.

After Zhang Xiaolei came in, he found a random place to sit down and said to the people: "Everyone, I will rest here for one night today, and I hope it will not disturb everyone, and I will leave tomorrow." ”

"You're not allowed to go!"

In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted: "I recognize you, you are Zhang Xiaolei!" You are Zhang Xiaolei! You are not allowed to go! ”
