When Sha Hu saw two officers and soldiers in front of him, he turned around and ran back.

When the two officers and soldiers saw Shahu running, they then chased after him.

Shahu couldn't outrun two officers and soldiers.

Shahu doesn't know martial arts, two officers and soldiers can do martial arts, where can Shahu outrun two officers and soldiers?

The distance between the two officers and soldiers and the sand tiger is getting closer and closer.

Shahu is in a hurry.

The two officers and soldiers were getting closer and closer to the sand tigers.

At this time, the two officers and soldiers saw clearly: the person in front was indeed a sand tiger.

……

Strangely, after the two officers and soldiers recognized the person in front of them as Shahu, they slowed down.

Why?

They were all afraid of death.

They had heard about "Sand Tiger killed the waiter and the girl's grandfather", and they had also heard about "Sand Tiger defeated Nonsense, Linghu Shrimp, and Linghu Crab".

They said in their hearts: The martial arts outside the waiting staff are higher than ours, and the martial arts of the nonsense are higher than ours, and the waiting staff is killed by the sand tiger, and the nonsense is defeated by the sand tiger, what should we do if the sand tiger kills us?

So they slowed down.

……

The two officers and soldiers saw that the person in front of them was Shahu, and they discussed there:

"What shall we do?"

"What do you say?"

"Let's catch up with the sand tiger, we can't beat the sand tiger?"

"yes."

"Otherwise, you chase the sand tiger here, and I'll report to Ye Dutou."

"Why am I chasing the sand tiger, you go to Ye Dutou to report, not you chase the sand tiger, I go to Ye Dutou to report?"

"I came up with the doctrine, and I should give priority."

"That's not going to work either."

"Why are you so cowardly? If the sand tiger chases you, you run, and it's okay for you to keep a certain distance from the sand tiger. ”

"...... this?"

"That's it."

After the officer and soldier finished speaking, he left.

……

One of the two officers and soldiers left, and Shahu felt less stressed.

The sand tiger continued to run.

The remaining officer and soldier continued to chase.

……

After some time, the sand tiger ran to a village.

There are many alleys in the village.

The sand tiger drilled into the alley.

Because it was dark and because the officers and men were at some distance from the sand tigers, the officers and men did not see clearly which alley the sand tigers had drilled.

The officers and soldiers chased him to the mouth of the alley, and he stopped.

He hesitated: Which alley did Shahu enter?

When he looked, it was quite dark inside the alley, and he couldn't see the situation inside.

He was afraid of being plotted by the sand tigers.

He didn't dare to enter any alley.

……

Shahu shook off the officers and soldiers, and he let out a sigh of relief.

He was so tired that he wanted to sit down and rest.

He sat down.

After he sat down, he thought about his business.

He thought to himself: It seems that Ye Dutou has cast a net for me, and it seems that even if I escape tonight, I can't hide from the cloudy sky.

He also thought: Even if the officers and soldiers can't find me, I can't go out to eat, and I can starve to death just by starving.

He thought of his father and mother again: I got into trouble, will I get into trouble this time and affect my father and mother?

He thought for a moment: Yes, now that Pan Shiren is picking bones in his eggs and finding fault in my family, how can I not affect my father and mother when I cause trouble this time?

When he thought of his father, he was heartbroken: I can't live with my father.

When he thought of the road ahead, he was full of confusion: I am like a little lamb. I'm surrounded by tigers and wolves. How did my little lamb escape the clutches of the tiger wolf?

……

The more Sand Tiger thought about it, the more he had no way to live.

Sha Huxin said: I'm dead!

There happened to be a crooked-necked tree in front of me.

There is a heel rope on the body.

The sand tiger tied the rope to the tree, put the rope in a noose, and stretched his neck into the noose.

……

Not long after the sand tiger was hoisted, a person came in the distance.

He's a man in his sixties.

When the old man saw someone hanging, he hurried over to save people.

The sand tiger was rescued by the old man.

……

After a while, the sand tiger came to his senses.

When the old man saw that the hanged man had eased up, he asked the hanged man: "Young man, why can't you think about it?" ”

Shahu said: "I can't live anymore. I can't live up to my dad either. ”

The old man said, "Don't worry, you speak slowly." ”

"My name is Sha Hu, my father's name is Sha Bo Lao, Pan Shiren asked me to pay protection money, my father and I have no money to pay protection money, Pan Shiren tried every means to harm my father and me, he first instructed people to steal my house, and then picked bones in the egg to find fault in my father and me, my father chatted with an old lady, the old lady complained a few words, let his people hear, he made a big fuss and said that my father rebelled, and I was not angry, I saw the waiter kill a girl's grandfather and bullied the girl, I killed the waiter in a fit of anger, and now the officers and soldiers are arresting me everywhere, I have no way out, So I hanged myself. ”

The old man said: "Young man, you are wrong, there is a line, and you have to try to live." ”

"I don't die, if the officers and soldiers catch me, I will also die, I am a good person, I don't want the officers and soldiers to execute me like a criminal, I think it would be a shame to die."

"You're wrong again, what kind of wind and rain will happen in a person's life, why care about that? Some people are not afraid of being embarrassed when they ride on the heads of the people, do you still care what people say? ”

Shahu thought for a moment: yes.

Shahu said: "Uncle Xie guides." ”

The old man said: "The officers and soldiers caught you, that was no way, the officers and soldiers didn't catch you, why did you die?" ”

Shahu remembered that his father and mother were here again.

Shahu said: "I can't live with my father. It's not easy for my father and mother to raise me, I can't be filial in front of my father, but it will bring disaster to my father, I can't live with my father. ”

"Kid, don't think like that. It's right to see righteousness and bravery, everything is Pan Shiren's fault, and everything is Bao Xin's (county master)'s fault. Think about it, after you die, your father and mother will know that you are dead, how sad will your father and mother be? ”

"I'm not dead, I can't pass this hurdle, Bao Xin (the county magistrate) sent so many people to arrest me, and I can't escape."

"If you are caught by Bao Xin (the county master), there is no way, if you are not caught by Bao Xin (the county master), you should work hard to live."

"Do I still have hope?"

"Yes."

"Yes?"

"Don't look at those people like tigers and wolves, they all think about their own interests, they are nothing remarkable.

You have hope to get through this.

I've heard about you, when you killed Hou San, Hou San's martial arts were higher than you, what did Hou San do to you?

And what happened to your father and you that day, Ling Hushou wanted to kill your father and you, didn't Ling Huchun and the Eighth Lady help your father talk to you?

You are a good person, and when you are in trouble, many people want to help you;

Those people are not good people, and when those people kill good people, even the people around those people may stand up and speak for you. ”

"Am I still hopeful?"

"Yes."

After the old man said that, Shahu didn't want to die.

Shahu said: "Thank you uncle for your persuasion." ”

……

Shahu asked the old man what to call him?

The old man said: "My surname is Ma, and I am called 'Uncle Ma'." ”

……

The old man wanted Shahu to go to his house to sit.

The sand tiger has nowhere to go, and is trying to find a place to hide first.

Shahu nodded.

……

The sand tiger came to the old man's house.

Shahu met two people at the old man's house.

One of the two is named Niu Kun and the other is Yang Ke.

Shahu swore goodbye to Niu Kun and Yang Ke and embarked on a new journey.
