Chapter 24 Embroidered Shoes
Xue'er chatted with me all night, and when the sky was bright, I saw two figures on the curtains, undoubtedly fat and Xiaoyun, and the two of them had been eavesdropping.
I said to Cher, "I'm a little sleepy, I have to go back."
Cher said, "Then I'll send you."
I thought she would be reluctant to let me go, and say, "Will you come and talk to me in the future?" But all this is just "I thought".
I said, "No, it's just across the street from your house, not far away."
She said, "Then I'll take you to the gate."
I said, "Okay."
When the fat man saw us coming out, he smiled evilly and said, "It's a lot of fun to chat, why don't you talk a little more?"
I took advantage of Cher's inattention and put one knee on the fat man's ass.
The fat man was hindered by his face and image, and it was neither easy to scream nor fight back, and he rubbed his ass with a painful expression, and I smiled kindly when I saw him so embarrassed.
…………
Pushing open the door, I saw a man with a torch knocking on the door, and behind him there was a large group of people with torches.
I had seen that man, he was one of the people who were beaten up by me and the fat man in front of Cher's house that day.
When he saw us, he quickly ran back to the crowd and said to an old man with a long beard, "They were the ones who protected the demon girl yesterday."
The bearded old man said: "We are just here to eliminate harm for the people, you hand over Li Xue's demon girl, we will not embarrass you." It was so mild, like negotiating a fair deal.
This old man has a thief's eyebrows, and he is not a good thing at first glance.
Xiao Yun said angrily: "Sister Xue'er is not a demon girl!"
The following suddenly fried the pot, "The color of the two eyes is different, what is it if it is not a demon girl?" ”
"That's it! Widow Zhang was killed by her! ”
"Spend time with ghosts every day, what is it that is not a demon girl?"
Their attitude is arrogant and domineering, and their tone is snarky, and they can't wait to eat Xue'er alive.
Xiaoyun argued, "When did Sister Xue'er kill Widow Zhang?"
The bearded old man said, "Just three hours ago!"
The hundred ghosts in the courtyard suddenly gathered and rushed to the gate. Cher hurriedly stopped: "Don't hurt them......"
Hundred ghosts, you look at me, I look at you, and retreated helplessly.
I'm really puzzled, everyone is bullying to the doorstep, why are you still holding back?
If I don't care about this, then I'm not a man, blocking Xue'er behind him, pointing to the crowd and saying, "Shut your dogs' mouths!" A group of unseen soil buns, the different eye colors are caused by the lack of iris pigment, you can't say she's a demon girl just because she has heterochromia! We've been with her tonight, why haven't I seen her go out and hurt people? ”
The bearded old man said, "You are in the same group as her, why should I believe what you say?"
Not to be outdone: "You said that Widow Zhang was killed by her, what evidence is there?"
The bearded old man said, "Of course there is evidence!" He brought a red embroidered shoe: "This was found at the scene, and this shoe is exactly the same as the one on Li Xue's feet." And the goddess also said that Widow Zhang was killed by evil spirits, and everyone in the village knew that Li Xue was in the company of ghosts! ”
I argued: "So, if one day someone in the village is slapped to death, can any of you be considered a murderer?" You're all got hands anyway. As for the embroidered shoes, there are more people wearing them in the village, why don't you go home and see if your wife or wife is also wearing these shoes on their feet, and then tie them up as murderers? ”
The bearded old man was annoyed and angry: "Crooked! It's just nonsense! The old man doesn't talk nonsense with you! He turned his head to everyone and said, "Arrest Li Xue!"
Several people ran to Li Xue with ropes.
The fat man roared: "If you are not afraid of death, come!" He had an axe in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, and he didn't know where he got it.
I have a crooked stomach, and I also say that what others say is crooked, and it won't work to reason with these people, so I took the fat man's axe and pointed it at them: "Whoever dares to touch her, I will kill whom, if you don't believe it, try it!"
None of those people dared to come up, and the arrogance just now was gone. After all, this is not a movie, and no one wants to be hacked to death as a bird.
The bearded old man gritted his teeth and said, "You wait! Let's go! ”
The gang really followed him, which shows that this old man is not the leader of the perpetrators, and he must also be a person with prestige in the village.
I asked Xue'er in confusion: "Those ghosts living in your house are enough to abolish those people, why are you stopping them?"
With tears in her eyes, she said that she had been wronged, she could obviously be free from this grievance; Let's say that she was not wronged, she was indeed bullied.
"I don't want to hurt them......"
I almost died of anger when I heard it: "Please! They're all bullied to your doorstep! ”
She shook her head and said, "They came to bully me, it's their fault." If they are hurt because of me, it's my sin. ”
I really want to die headfirst, what kind of logic is that? Cher, Cher, should I say that you are kind, or should I say that you lack heart?
Although the gang is gone, they will definitely not stop there.
Xue'er doesn't want to hurt them, and we can't keep Xue'er all the time, if we want her not to be bullied in the future, we have to solve this matter fundamentally.
To solve this matter, you must first prove that Xue'er is not the murderer of the widow.
But before I can prove it, I have to talk to someone who has prestige in the village.
When I think of people of prestige, the first thing that comes to my mind is the old man with the long beard. Judging from his performance just now, he should be a prestige.
After inquiring with Xiaoyun, I found out that he was the head of the village.
After Xue'er fell asleep, I asked Xiaoyun for the village chief's address and asked the fat man to stay and protect them.
He took the axe he had brought from the fat man and went.
The village chief's house was very large, the fence was very high, and there was no tree next to it.
I had to bring in a few rocks and climb into them.
There were some flowers and plants planted in the yard, and I hid in the grass and observed for a long time, and found that there were four people in his house.
A young man who could not help himself, an old man older than him, and a woman of his age, had nothing to fear.
I took advantage of the village chief's coming out to relieve myself, approached from behind, covered his mouth with one hand, and put the axe on his neck with the other: "Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you!"
His frightened face turned white, and he nodded again and again. I pulled him into the room, let go of his mouth, and said, "Do you want to die?"
The axe was still on his neck, and he didn't dare to scream.
He shuddered, his head shaking like a rattle.
I said, "I just want to talk to you, as long as you're honest, I won't hurt you."
