Kicking in her arms gratefully, Ye Xiaoying's steps were firm.

When the neighbors heard that Li Tiezhu had an accident, some of them gave money, and some of them were really poor, so they sent steamed sweet potatoes and steamed buns, and asked Ye Xiaoying to bring them to Li Tiezhu.

Carrying a bamboo basket, the bottom of the pure white gauze is full of food.

bribed the jailer with silver, and Ye Xiaoying was put in.

The food on Li Tiezhu's table was the same as before, and the whole person did not move against the wall.

Ye Xiaoying endured her sadness and shouted at him: "Xianggong." ”

His body trembled, Li Tiezhu immediately stood up with a pout, and hurriedly rushed over, holding Ye Xiaoying's hand tightly, "Lady, how did you come here?" ”

The jailer on the side opened the door, and after Ye Xiaoying entered, she brought out the dishes inside.

"Xianggong, where did you go yesterday afternoon? Did you really kill someone? ”

"Nope!" Li Tiezhu grabbed a big steamed bun with one hand.

He didn't eat all day, he was so hungry that his chest was against his back, his mouth was full of food, and he couldn't speak clearly, Ye Xiaoying waited patiently until he finished eating before asking.

Li Tiezhu first took a sip of water, lowered his head, and his face was full of chagrin.

"I couldn't go to class, and I had some itching in my hands, so I went to my fellow's house to borrow a bow and arrow, and went hunting in the woods!"

Ye Xiaoying's eyes lit up, and she immediately asked, where is the fellow villager? If he can be found, it will be proven that he did not kill anyone.

A trace of despair flashed in Li Tiezhu's eyes, and he smiled bitterly, "It's useless, I had a weapon in my hand at that time, and at the same time I was in the forest, even if there were witnesses coming, they would still say that I killed Lian'er!" ”

She thought about it, only those who have really seen the murderer kill people and pass by can clear Li Tiezhu's grievances, and there will be a day when the matter will come to light.

The daylight slowly became dim, especially when the wind blew the candles in the prison, as if they were about to be extinguished at any time, Ye Xiaoying saw that the hour was not early. After asking Orion's address, he had to leave under the shouting of the official.

Li Tiezhu was reluctant to give up, the fingers of the two people slowly separated, and the empty heart in his hand also stayed here with Li Tiezhu.

After going back, Ye Xiaoying's door was locked, and she immediately went out of the city gate while there was still a glimmer of light outside.

Orion was not far from home, because the road was steep, Ye Xiaoying walked for two hours before she saw the flickering lights in the windows of a house.

Overjoyed, Ye Xiaoying immediately went to knock on the door, "Who?" An old voice rang out inside.

He walked out and pulled the latch open, and raised the lamp he was carrying, and when he saw a simple woman, she said in surprise, "Girl, come in and sit down!" ”

Ye Xiaoying almost trotted forward, never stopping along the way, so her steps were trembling now, panting like a cow, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Daddy."

"Hey!" At the same time, Daddy suddenly stopped and looked Ye Xiaoying up and down, "Although Daddy's name is very common, but girl, you learned it early in the morning, right?" ”

Ye Xiaoying drank a glass of water and gasped, then nodded, and immediately stood up and knelt down towards your father, "Dad, please save Li Tiezhu!" ”

"Li Tiezhu!" Daddy's face changed, "Li Tiezhu came here yesterday and everything was as usual!" ”

Then he pointed to a rabbit hanging on the wall, "Yesterday he hunted three rabbits, roasted and ate one of them himself, and gave me one, and it is said that the other one was also given to her, and he has a bold temperament and a strong body." Why do you need someone else to help? ”

Hanging on the wall was a fat rabbit, Ye Xiaoying seemed to see Li Tiezhu carrying the rabbit with a high-spirited expression, but for some reason her heart was even more sad, and tears fell down.

"Don't cry, you're her lady, right? Li Tiezhu came here occasionally, but he ignored you every word. ”

calmed down, Ye Xiaoying told him the whole story of the matter, and begged her father, "Think about it again, what else can prove that Li Tiezhu has nothing to do with the case?" Otherwise, punishment awaits him! ”

Dad was in a dilemma for a while, Li Tiezhu's hunting place and Lian'er's murder were quite close to each other, and it was really difficult to prove it.

Seeing that Ye Xiaoying's eyes were full of tears and she looked tired, she grabbed the dry tobacco pouch on the side and lit the candle on the table, and the room was filled with the smell of choking smoke.

Ye Xiaoying didn't speak, and her father suddenly stood up.

"Li Tiezhu's life should not be extinguished, a descendant of the back mountain will chop wood on the mountain at that hour every morning. Maybe he was nearby when the murder happened! ”

Ye Xiaoying was overjoyed at first, but when she heard that he was just conjecture, she sighed, afraid that she could only look at the anger, and asked, "Where does his family live?" ”

also told my dad that if I need to testify in the future, I asked my dad to come and testify to save Li Tiezhu.

"This is natural, I have no children and no children, I regard Li Tiezhu as half a son, at that time we often went up to the mountains to hunt together, sometimes he came to borrow my bow and arrows, he was really a good hand when hunting.

It's a pity to die, girl, you're tired too, take a good night's rest, and wait until tomorrow Daddy will accompany you! “

Ye Xiaoying was grateful, and lay on the bed after cleaning up. The sound of the wind whistling outside, Ye Xiaoying's heart went up and down, she didn't understand who framed Li Tiezhu.

In prison, Li Tiezhu couldn't speak, and he couldn't tell the truth. It's a huge headache to come in and swagger a lot outside, and get into fights with people, so you're told, but you can't know who it is.

Time passed in a flash, although it was difficult to sleep, but still took a nap, the early father had already baked the cake and prepared the burden, which made Ye Xiaoying look ashamed.

"Trouble Dad, I'll take the burden!"

took away his burden, but he could not.

"Don't look at my age, my body is tough!"

Dad has a cheerful personality, and talking to Ye Xiaoying is nothing more than how brave Li Tiezhu is and how kind-hearted he is.

But when asked, Ye Xiaoying knew that Li Tiezhu said that he wanted to be reborn, but it was difficult to get rid of his original life no matter what.

He was still thinking about hunting, and he was heartbroken when Zhou Lan died, which made him even more affectionate and righteous.

"What about affection and righteousness, it didn't end up like this in the end." Ye Xiaoying muttered softly. But seeing that my father is not young, but his feet are strong, and he is better than her.

When she went up the mountain, she was tired and panting, but the other party exhaled as usual, and kindly sat down to rest often. But my heart was so anxious that I refused to stop.

At last at noon, they saw a room halfway up the mountain, and Daddy pointed to it and said, "This is exactly there." ”
