"Ang, I almost got lost in it just now. Hey, what are you doing here? Come dig hogweed? Mu Qing patted the tiny branches and leaves scraped on his head in the jungle, and said indifferently.

"I, I'm digging, I'm going home." After Tian Xiu'er finished speaking, she quickly turned around and ran away.

Mu Qing stopped the movement in her hand, and frowned as she looked at Tian Xiu'er's figure running away. She really saw it, Tian Xiu'er's basket was empty just now, she didn't dig up pigweed at all, why did she go back in a hurry? Thinking of Tian Xiu'er's surprised expression when she came out of the forest, could there be anything else strange in this forest?

Hey, whatever, anyway, pay attention to yourself in the future, and don't go to that forest again. As for Tian Xiu'er, she originally didn't plan to have any deep friendship with her, but now if she can care about some legends in the forest and stay away from her, she still can't wait for her. Mu Qing thought optimistically.

But when it was slightly dark, when she returned to the village, she found a group of people in her small courtyard, and when the villagers on the periphery saw her return, they quickly avoided a passage, as if she had some infectious disease.

As Mu Qing's footsteps moved, the crowd spontaneously gave way to a passage. This allowed Mu Qing to clearly see that Chen and Li were sitting opposite each other in the courtyard. Sensing Mu Qing's entrance, both of them focused their eyes on Mu Qing's body.

The evening wind blew on the body cold, a few days ago Mu Qing only felt that the wind was blowing comfortably, and she looked forward to the wind every night. But under the gaze of so many people today, Mu Qing only felt that the wind was cool tonight, as if it could penetrate her clothes and blow into her bones.

"Mu Qing is back, did you say this or did I say it?" Li Zheng took a puff of his dry tobacco pouch, looked at Chen and asked.

Chen's face drooped very long, his face was gloomy as if he could drip water, and with Li Zheng's questioning, Mu Qing could feel that Chen's gaze on him seemed to have some subtle changes. In the past, when Chen saw Mu Qing, there was always an urge to kill her in that gaze, because she blamed Tian Dalang's death on Mu Qing, thinking that she killed Tian Dalang, so in Chen's eyes, Mu Qing was her enemy! But today, Mu Qing felt a hint of pity from her gaze.

"What's going on again? Why are all the people gathered in my house? Chen didn't say anything under Li Zheng's gaze, but his face became more and more ugly. It wasn't until Mu Qing broke the silence of a courtyard and took the lead in opening his mouth that Chen seemed to come back to life, jumped up and pointed at the onlookers and scolded: "Phew, it's too early to see our family's jokes!" Hurry up and go back to your own house to find your mother, don't you have a free day and night? It's all about staring at other people's ideas. ”

"Hey, I said her aunt, you can't say that. This is a big deal for the whole village, if you don't give us an explanation today, we will tie up Mu Qing and burn it with fire now, and it will save her from harming others. There are many young people with children in this village. ”

"That's it, auntie, you can't just think about yourself. Besides, you have a three-year-old grandson at home, so you shouldn't be afraid. I think that no matter what, Mu Qing should be tied up first, what if she runs away? The big guy said that I am talking about this reason? ”

"That's right, that's right, tie it up first."

"yes, tie it up first."

In the crowd, there were a series of rebuttals, Mu Qing blinked her eyes, and she was confused, why, she was not there all afternoon, why couldn't she understand what these people said? Did she go to an alien planet? Are these people in the village invaded by aliens? Otherwise, why couldn't she understand a word of what they said?

"Fart, she's the girl I bought back for a penny, I don't know. I tell you, if you drive her away today, then you will have to pay me a penny, and give my eldest son a daughter-in-law. Chen crossed his waist and did not show weakness in the face of many villagers.

At this moment, Mu Qing suddenly felt a trace of warmth on her body, and the ice-like contradiction between her and her in the past seemed to have been pried open today.

When it comes to the question of money, some people are silent. In the final analysis, these are poor families, that is, the Chen family is willing to pay a little money to buy a little daughter-in-law for Tian Dalang, and who else will pay so much money to come out. That's two months' rations for an ordinary family.

"No, you have to lock her up, lock her up now, it will be dark soon, you can't let her come out and hurt people!" Seeing that the sun was slowly sinking, and the night quietly began to cover the earth, the crowd that had been bluffed by Chen's words to ask for money began to be angry again, Tian Laolai mixed in the crowd and took the opportunity to grab Mu Qing's arm. With his force, the other villagers immediately swarmed up, hugging Mu Qing one after another, separating her from the Chen family. Chen was invincible to four feet alone, and was quickly left behind by the crowd.

The crowd hugged Mu Qing and walked towards the small river in front of the village, Mu Qing's arm was firmly grasped by Tian Laolai, and he didn't shake him off several times. Seeing that the river was getting closer and closer, the crowd gradually stirred, and in this commotion, Mu Qing keenly sensed that a dangerous aura was approaching him. Her instinct told her that if these people were really taken to the pond, she might not see the sun tomorrow.

The more times like this, Mu Qing ordered herself to be calmer. She pretended to be panicked and looked around in the crowd, but what discouraged her was that the few people she knew on weekdays were not in these crowds. There was only one short and fat woman with a headscarf on her head, who had once ridden with her in an ox cart during a temple fair, and the people in the cart were disdainful of her. Mu Qing still remembers Tian Xiu'er's expression when she came back and stopped talking, and it was clear that she wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it.

In the crowd, most of the faces were frightened and frightened, mixed with an inexplicable excited look, only her, with a calm face and a pair of eyes without waves. In the moment when she met Mu Qing's gaze, she even pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled at Mu Qing.

Seeing her smile, Mu Qing's heart suddenly became suspicious, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, on this dark night, could she really get rid of these people and escape from Tianjia Village smoothly?
