Taking advantage of the gap when everyone else in the ancestral hall was looking at the corpse, Li Chengyuan secretly called Li Nianfeng and said to him: "Are you wronged? ”

Hearing his father's question, Li Nianfeng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after all, he just lowered his head in despair.

Looking at his son's decadent appearance, Li Chengyuan did not comfort his son, he just patted his son on the shoulder, left a sentence of "You will understand in the future", and then walked towards Feng Ying.

It's easy to talk about my son here, but my wife is there, it's not easy to fool!

————

When the people in the ancestral hall were still checking the corpse, the patriarch of the Li family had already mobilized all the Li clan members, and they had only one purpose, that is, to find Li Aniu and bring him back to the ancestral hall.

After hearing the order of the clan elder. All the people of the Li clan almost didn't have any complaints, and they searched for them one by one in the whole town, street by alley. But it's very strange that there are nearly 1,000 people in the Li clan, and they are almost about to turn over the town, but they can't find Li Aniu.

"I said, what did Li Aniu do, he actually needs the patriarch to mobilize all the clansmen to find him."

"Who knows, but since there is such a big formation, it is estimated that things will not be small."

In order to dispel this sleepiness, the Li clan people who came out to find people could only chat like this.

"You say, can it be Li Aniu, what's that?"

"What? Oh, you mean that, can't you? This time, we only let Li Aniu look, I haven't heard of anyone's mother-in-law and aunt. ”

The person who was asked didn't react at first, but after seeing the lewd smile on his friend's face, he immediately reacted, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.

"Yes. However, it would be nice if it was really that, I heard that because of that crime, you are not allowed to wear clothes when you dip in the pig pen. ”

The person who started talking about this topic smashed his mouth and looked disappointed.

"Not necessarily, in case the woman has already been arrested."

"Yes, too...... Hey hey"

Men and men are together, once they talk about these parents, they are immediately energetic, and the two of them are too lazy to patrol the streets, so they squat on the side of the road and talk about the depth and weight of the woman.

"I'll tell you, I've heard people, that pretty widow on East Street ......"

In the middle of his sentence, one of them suddenly stopped, and his eyes widened behind the other.

The man was listening energetically, and when he saw his companion suddenly stop, he immediately became anxious.

"I didn't say you, why didn't you say it in the middle of your words? Isn't it uncomfortable for you to hold back half of your fart? ”

"Tell a fart, it's on fire, hurry up and ring the gong."

"On fire? Where, where? ”

As soon as he heard that it was on fire, the man on the other side could no longer bother to inquire about the pretty widow, so he stood up in a hurry, turned his head and looked at the direction of the fire.

You know, this street is full of poor people, living in adobe thatched houses, if there is a fire, once it is not controlled, then these streets may be finished.

Following the line of sight of his companions, sure enough, a ball of fire was dim and bright, and the night was red in a short time.

"My mother, this is pouring oil, why is it so fast."

Seeing that it was really on fire, the two of them also panicked, and they couldn't care about finding anyone anymore, so they picked up the gong in their hands and struck it.

"It's on fire, hurry up and put out the fire."

For a while, the sound of firefighting in the town came and went.

But to everyone's surprise, before they could run to the place where the fire was burning with the buckets, the light of the fire had already begun to dim, and after a while, the fire had already been extinguished. This makes it a bit confusing for all those who are ready to fight fires and prevent fires.

Although the fire was about to be extinguished, the people in the town still gathered around, and there was no way, the fire really couldn't be cautious. You know, there was a tragedy in the town where a fire burned down three streets in the past, and it is said that at that time, everyone was already roasted, and the whole street could smell the smell of barbecue.

In order not to be grilled and matured, everyone in the town who could rush to the beginning of the fire surrounded them.

"Where is this?"

Seeing that the fire was about to start, some people were confused. Because this place is so remote, there are almost no families around, and even if this kind of place is on fire, it is unlikely to affect other people's homes, right?

"It can't be that someone is here to deliberately set fire to people, right? Behold, the fire is going to be completely extinguished. ”

Seeing that he was going further and further, some people suddenly became suspicious.

"I think I've heard of this place, and it is said that this place used to be the place where the fire broke out, and then the people in the village said that it was not clean, so although this place is also in the town, no one dares to build a house here."

As more and more people became more and more talkative, someone suddenly came to say such a sentence in the middle of the night, plus there was a fire here for no reason, which can simply scare people to death.

"What do you say? Why is there no one living here? Do you remember that mourning star? That's where he lives. How? You know the way during the day, but you don't know you at night? And scare yourself here one by one, a bunch of cowards. ”

Finally, someone who lived nearby couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the whispers of these people. And these people were reminded like this, and finally remembered that this is what it is?

"Death's Star? So what are we going to do, isn't this asking for bad luck? ”

"That's it, if you want me to say, you deserve to be burned, you can save yourself from harming people, and this burn can be burned clean, how refreshing."

"Okay, it's just a child, don't be ashamed to look at you one by one? People have already come here, let's see, even if it's not for children, you have to be prepared for sparks to be scraped away. ”

"No, old Li Tou, you can't say that......"

A group of people quarreled for a long time, and finally they rushed to the place where the fire was burning.

"Hey, is that a person sitting there?"

When the fire was about to be lit, some people saw that there was a person sitting in front of the flickering ashes.

"How fresh, isn't that mourning star living here? Who else could there be but him? ”

"No, that person is definitely not a mourning star, how old is a mourning star, you see how old that person is."

As they got closer and closer, everyone did see that the person was the figure of an adult man, and it was definitely impossible for him to be Lu Yangsheng.

As soon as everyone saw that something was wrong, they immediately became cautious.

When they got closer, an exclamation suddenly sounded in the crowd.

"Li Ah Niu!"

When Li Aniu heard someone shouting for himself, he looked at everyone expressionlessly. Suddenly there were screams of terror in the crowd.

"Hell!!"

"Blood, lots of blood!!"

It turned out that when Li Aniu was first recognized, his face and body were black, and everyone thought he was smoked, but when they got closer, everyone found that Li Aniu's body was not smoked, it was a scab after the blood dried up.

This really frightened the people who came around, they didn't care about any fires anymore, and all of a sudden they scattered, leaving only a small handful of Li clansmen who didn't leave, among them, there were those clansmen who could enter the ancestral hall.

They don't care what the hell or weird, in the eyes of these people, the sky and the earth are big, the ancestors are the biggest, except for the words of the patriarch, these people will not listen to anyone.

"Li Aniu, come with us, for the sake of the same clan, don't embarrass us."

Li Aniu glanced at the clansman in front of him, and stood up abruptly, without a trace of anger, like a walking corpse.

The leading Li clansman glanced at the burned thatched hut in front of him, frowned, called two Li clansmen who were usually more courageous, and ordered: "You two stay here, see if there is anyone inside, and watch here by the way, to prevent a resurgence." ”

The two clansmen who were called looked at each other and were about to nod, but they didn't think that Li Aniu suddenly spoke.

"There's no one in there, I've seen it."

The eyes of the Li clan people in the lead gradually became solemn.

"Have you seen it? Li Aniu, don't tell me that you lit this fire. ”

Li Aniu glanced at the leading clansmen, and suddenly showed an expression that seemed to be crying but not crying, and seemed to be smiling but not smiling, which made people panic.

"yes, I ordered it. I wanted to burn the mourning star inside, but I didn't expect that the rabbit cub didn't come back. ”

When the leader heard Li Aniu admit it, he immediately became angry and kicked Li Aniu with one kick.

"You bastard, you dare to set a fire in the fall, and you plan to burn someone else. Do you know that you are looking for death, I tell you, that is, this family is far enough away from other people's homes to not cause a big disaster, otherwise, I must have picked your kid's skin with my own hands. ”

The leader scolded while beating, but Li Aniu didn't even hide, and kept laughing from his mouth, as if he was enchanted.

Seeing that Li Aniu's mouth was bleeding, the surrounding Li clan people hurriedly grabbed the leader, and the leader was still angry, and waved his hand and said.

"Tie up, don't work this pro-leg to go to the ancestral hall, the master will help him go. Go, get a stick, come and someone to help me, and the master will carry the pig. ”

Although the leader was angry, the people around him couldn't help but persuade him.

"Head, no. We're not ...... kind, so we're not ?"

The leader glared at the person who opened his mouth to intercede, and scolded loudly: "If you want to go, you will go, and if you dare to be crooked, I will tie you up." ”

Seeing that the leader became more and more angry, his subordinates didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so they could only do it obediently.

After a while, Li Aniu was tied up, and Li Aniu didn't resist at all during the whole process, he just kept laughing.

The leader shouted: "Knock on the gong to open the way, and carry the pig into the cage." ”

You must know that Li Aniu has not clearly said which clan rule he has violated yet, but the words and things that the leader said and did were obviously only treated by those who were convicted of the felony of "immersing in the pig cage". There's nothing more insulting in a small town. But even though he knew this, the leader still did it. It can be seen from this that what Li Aniu did made the leader angry.

In this way, except for the two Li clansmen who stayed behind to check the ashes, the others knocked and beat all the way and followed the leader back to the ancestral hall.

In the ancestral hall, Liu Mazi's body has been placed back in place, and the people present except for the Liu clan and Li Chengyuan's family have also walked almost away.

After all, the matter has come to this point, the cause of Liu Mazi's death can be determined, and the murderer has been locked, that is to say, this matter has basically come to light. Except for the two families involved, there was no need for the other families to stay here. In addition, it is now the middle of the night, and most of the clan elders are elderly, so after discussion, several patriarchs let the families except the Liu family and the Li family go back to rest.

"Patriarch Li, you can go back too, don't spend any more time here."

Liu Yunyi looked at the sky, roughly about a moment, and planned to let Li Chengyuan go back to rest. After all, at this time, the Li family is already considered to be the whole clan, which has already given the Liu family enough face, and Li Chengyuan has no need to spend time here to accompany them.

"No, Li Aniu hasn't been caught yet, as the patriarch, how can I go to rest?"

Liu Yunyi also planned to persuade again, but he didn't admit that Li Chengyuan stood up all of a sudden.

"Here we are."

After Li Chengyuan finished speaking, he took the lead in walking out of the ancestral hall.

Liu Yunyi was stunned for a moment, then listened carefully, his face gradually became solemn, and he also walked out of the ancestral hall with Li Chengyuan.

The Lord is coming.
