The three of Bai Xin had been highly concentrated, and after resting for a while, they were slightly relieved to see that the young man had not caught up. But Bai Xin was so sore from the fall that he couldn't get down and walk, so he had to let Tong Jun carry him slowly in the jungle.

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound of footsteps in front of them, and the three of them hurriedly hid in the grass next to them, carefully lying on their stomachs to see who it was.

I saw a girl running from afar, the girl was slender, wearing a long white dress, her skin was as white as snow, there was almost no blood on her face except for her lips, and the peculiar thing was that her eyebrows and hair were also snow-white, and her long hair was scattered behind her, fluttering back and forth with the girl's panting run.

Behind the girl was a dozen middle-aged men, who were dressed plainly and did not look like bandits and robbers. Some of them were bare-handed, some were holding hoes and shovels, some were holding wooden sticks, and they were shouting, "Stop!" while chasing after the girl.

The girl was so tired that she had no strength, how could she run past the dozen or so middle-aged men behind her, and she was caught up in a blink of an eye, a man grabbed her clothes, and the girl stumbled and rolled on the ground.

The men instantly surrounded the girl, squeezed out a man in his 40s with a stubble on his face from the crowd, grabbed the girl's hair, and hit the girl with his head and face, scolding in his mouth: "You slut, I told you to run!"

The girl was in pain and cried and shouted, "Daddy, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore!"

Seeing this, Tong Jun got up and was about to rush out of the grass. Bai Xin stopped him and said, "Don't act rashly, that person is like her father, let's take a look." ”

The man did not stop because of the girl's pleading, but scolded even more unscrupulously: "I told you to run! You run! See that I don't discount your legs!"

The other people next to him hurriedly stopped him and persuaded him one after another, saying, "Stop fighting, don't really beat him to death again!" If you catch it, forget it, take it back and tell the village chief to send it down!"

The stubble-covered man hatefully threw aside the shovel in his hand, grabbed the girl, and said, "Wait for me!"

The girl cried and trembled, and walked slowly in the direction she came from under the push of everyone.

"How can there be such a father?" Bai Xin said unbearably when he saw the man with such a heavy hand.

"I don't think it's his daughter. Tong Jun said worriedly.

"Why?"

"If you look at the clothes and looks of the people around you, they should be ordinary villagers, they are all black-haired, but the girl is white-haired. ”

When Tong Jun said this, Bai Xin also felt reasonable: "Do you want to keep up?"

"Follow quietly and see what's going on. Tong Jun said: "Besides, you are injured, just go to their village to see if you can find someone to rest." ”

"Hmm. Su Su was also a little worried about Bai Xin's injury, and nodded in agreement.

So the three men followed the men at a distance, until a village appeared.

The village is located at the foot of a mountain, and a small stream flows slowly through the middle of the village into the distance, with sparse thatched huts and fenced yards, about 50 households, which should be considered a large village. The village is surrounded on all sides by large fields, but the crops in the fields are scattered and in disarray.

It was almost evening, the crimson sunset reflected the colorful glow, and a few fiery clouds in the blood-colored western sky remained motionless. Smoke has risen from several households, and from a distance it looks like a picture scroll, full of harmony.

The girl kept crying, and there was no chance to escape under the crowd. She was escorted by the group through the field path into the village. When the villagers heard this, they all rushed out of their homes to look at the group.

Seeing this, several naughty children playing not far away all ran over, picked up the clods of soil on the ground and threw them at the white-haired girl. The girl cried and dodged, but her beaten clothes were covered with dust. "Youkai! you're a youkai!" the child screamed around her, and it was strange that the man who had previously called himself the father of the girl did not defend his daughter, and watched her being bullied by a group of children, silently following behind.

The women, children, and old people who were chatting on the side of the road also cast disdainful glances one by one, as if the girl had made a shocking mistake.

The girl was pushed into a courtyard, and out of the thatched hut came a middle-aged man in a blue robe. After seeing the white-haired girl, she picked up the wooden stick in her hand and hit the girl's waist fiercely, how could the girl withstand the beating of an adult man, and she fell directly to the ground in pain, but she bit her lip and didn't make a sound, only staring at the village chief with tears.

"Village Chief!" the white-haired girl's father squeezed through the crowd and said to the blue-shirted man, "I'm sorry Village Chief, we have captured Lan Lan back!"

"Demon girl!" glared at the girl who was sitting on the ground, and scolded loudly: "Our village is now all caused by you, your mother has committed suicide in fear of sin, and you dare to run away!

The girl lowered her head and still did not speak, and her father came up and grabbed her by the hair and lifted her head, and said, "Lanlan, the village chief is talking to you, can't you hear me!"

The girl burst into tears, trembled with a "hmm", and whispered, "I'm not a witch." I didn't kill anyone, and my mother didn't commit suicide in fear of crime!"

"At this time, she will still be hard-mouthed!" the village chief looked at her and said, "Shut her up in the next room, and don't give her food!"

As he spoke, the crowd pushed the girl into a small room on the side of the courtyard, and with a "bang!" sound, the door was closed and locked.

The girl's father looked at the village chief with a flattering face, and still kept apologizing, saying, "I'm sorry for the village chief, I've caused you trouble." I didn't expect this slut to run away when she heard that her mother had committed suicide!"

The village chief looked at the man with a look of disgust, and said disdainfully, "Go back, Lan Er." In the future, pay attention to one point, our village is not hungry because of your family, and you can do it yourself! Today, for the sake of your dedication to recovering Lanlan, I will not hold you accountable for the time being. It's a good thing she didn't run away, otherwise you wouldn't want to have a good life!"

"Yes, yes, thank you, village chief. The village chief had such a cold attitude, but the man was not angry and left tremblingly.

After the girl was locked up, everyone dispersed.

The three of Bai Xin pretended to pass by this village unintentionally, and also entered the village.

A few of the women chatting saw their three unfamiliar faces and asked from afar, "What do you three do?"

Bai Xin reacted sensitively and said, "Hello aunts, my brother and sister and I plan to go to the Central Plains and pass through here, but it's getting late, let's see if someone can spend the night?"

"North?" The people of this village have never left almost their lives, and they have only heard the occasional passer-by mention the Central Plains, but they do not know the specific place.

"Yes, my brother and sister could have slept in the forest, but I was accidentally injured by a wild beast in the forest, but fortunately I passed by your village and had to disturb for the night. Bai Xin made up casually, saying that it seemed to be something serious, and Tong Jun and Su Su were a little stunned.

"It's true that the neighborhood hasn't been very quiet lately. It's all Lan Lan's girl!" Several women obviously did not doubt Bai Xin's words, and began to chatter again.

One of the fat aunts said, "It just so happens that my husband has gone to the market to change things in the past two days, and my house is my own, so you can go to my house tonight." ”

Several women around also echoed: "Yes, yes, Aunt Qiang's house happens to have a vacant room, they can go to your house to stay overnight." ”

Bai Xin didn't expect them to agree so happily, happily glanced at Tong Jun, and bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, aunt!"

"Oops, it's fine. It must have been hard for the three of you to come out at a young age. I'll lead them home first, and you can talk slowly. The fat aunt said goodbye to the other women and led Bai Xin towards her house.
