The next day, at the door of the tavern, Qiao Xuan pulled Xi Yan, who was carrying a large package on his shoulder, and reluctantly turned his head to look inside, "Let's go!" Don't look at it. ”

The three of them agreed last night that Xi He went to sell the tavern today and paid off the money owed, and Xi Yan followed Qiao Xuan to live in Taoyuan Village for a while.

"Xi girl, have you heard of it? Those guys are dead! The lady who went to help Xi Yan ask for a doctor yesterday glanced at the package on Xi Yan's back and said in a low voice.

Xi Yan was stunned, "Dead?" She subconsciously looked at Qiao Xuan, Qiao Xuan's face was as usual, and she didn't look surprised.

"Yes! Dead, yesterday I ran on the street like crazy, shouting for help as I ran, and I heard that people died at night! ”

The eldest lady wanted to say something more, but Qiao Xuan interrupted her coldly on the side and urged, "It's time to go!" ”

Xi Yan was a little confused in her heart, and after saying goodbye to her eldest mother, she followed Qiao Xuan.

"Don't worry!" On the way, Qiao Xuan saw that Xi Yan had been frowning, and couldn't help but comfort: "The wicked have their own harvest, their death has nothing to do with us, you don't have to think about it." ”

"Why did they die?"

Xi Yan's hand holding the package tightened, and looked at Qiao Xuan, who was half a head lower than her, and asked, maybe everything has not been going well recently, and she will start to be nervous if there is a hint of wind and grass.

Qiao Xuan smiled, revealing a row of white teeth, and the two small pear vortices on her cheeks made her delicate and cute, "I was scared to death." ”

"I didn't talk nonsense yesterday, they had human lives on their hands, and yesterday I used a little trick to make them see things that they couldn't see before, and they were scared to death with fear."

Xi Yan: "......"

In Taoyuan Village, Qiao Xuan and Xi Yan stopped in front of a dilapidated courtyard.

"This is your home? I remember it used to be—" A small square courtyard, Xi Yan didn't finish the rest of the words, but just looked around.

Qiao Xuan, like Xi Yan, also looked around with curiosity, the three dilapidated rooms were leaning together, and there was no piece of thatch on the roof.

"Snatched by the villagers," she shrugged, helpless.

The original owner, an orphan girl, can survive well in the 'bandit village' is very powerful now, and those things outside the body are snatched away by the original owner, so how important is life.

"Let's go inside!" Broken and broken, it can be regarded as a home, everything starts from scratch, and there will be something in the future.

The two of them had just rested for a while on a broken stool in the room when there was a sound of footsteps outside.

"Isn't that girl dead? How did you come back again? Are you sure you read that right? ”

The man with a fleshy face and a long scar between his eyebrows to his ear rushed to the front.

"I really saw it, and I brought back the girl from the town!"

A man who was short and walked behind the scar man replied.

The two were followed by dozens of people, all with fierce faces.

When Qiao Xuan and Xi Yan came out of the house, the dilapidated small courtyard was already surrounded by a group of people.

"What are you going to do?" Qiao Xuan asked in a deep voice, raised his feet and walked towards the door, Xi Yan followed behind with a wooden stick in his hand as if he was facing a great enemy.

"You are obviously not dead, why did you pretend to be dead yesterday to scare us? Isn't it time to give us an explanation? ”

The scar man slanted at Qiao Xuan fiercely.

Qiao Xuan sneered, his voice loud, "I am the village chief of Taoyuan Village, what do I need to explain to you?" Do you deserve it too? If you are not convinced, we will go to the county magistrate and tell you how you beat the village chief to death yesterday. ”

"What proof do you have that they said they killed you? You're not standing here! ”

An old woman standing at the back had a piercing expression on her wrinkled face when she spoke.

The other woman stretched her neck and spat at Qiao Xuan, and said in a vicious voice: "Cut! I really think of myself as the village chief, and we really give you face as a dead girl. ”

Qiao Xuan snorted coldly and said, "That's good!" I don't deserve this village chief, who of you likes to be whom. ”

"This injury can't be faked! I'll report to the police later," she said, unhurriedly, as she rolled up one of her sleeves to reveal the bruises on her arms.

A group of people exchanged a look, and Scarface opened his mouth to reprimand: "As the head of our Taoyuan Village, go and tell the villagers of Taoyuan Village what it looks like." ”

"That's it! No other village can laugh at us. ”

"We just came here to visit the village chief this time, there is no malice, why should the village chief hold on to yesterday's events? So narrow-minded. ”

"That's right! That's right! I really don't know what to do. ”

Qiao Xuan was about to be laughed at angrily, the poor mountains and bad waters came out of the people, even if he was scared, his soft mouth was so hard, and his words were so ugly.

Since they insisted on putting her in the position of village chief, then she would "well" be the village chief of the "bandit village" and let them know that the rivers and lakes were sinister.

"Since there's nothing to do, let's go back!" She said aloud with a straight face.

A group of people turned around scolding, where did they come from, and where did they go back.

Anyway, it makes no difference to them whether Qiao Xuan dies or not.

Qiao Xuan didn't know what they were thinking, and a pair of indifferent eyes stared closely at the few people who walked at the back, and the original owner was killed by those people.

Xi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and the wooden stick in her hand fell to the ground without strength.

She had heard that the people of this village were formerly bandits, hot-tempered, aggressive, and united with outsiders, but that their relationship between each family was not harmonious.

"It's okay, let's go in!"

When Qiao Xuan turned to face Xi Yan, he looked cute with a smile, very kind, and his big eyes flickered.

The two of them were busy going in and out, cleaning up the small courtyard and the three thatched houses, and then cooking two bowls of porridge with the only remaining bit of brown rice.

Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums approached from afar.

Qiao Xuan's eyes opened suddenly, turned over and got off the wooden bed and walked outside.

"Qiao Xuan, what should I do? It's the officials, they're coming to arrest us" Xi Yan was standing at the gate of the courtyard, staring at the group of people on the path who were getting closer.

In front were several officials with knives, followed by villagers from Taoyuan Village.

Qiao Xuan whispered a few words in Xi Yan's ear, and Xi Yan calmed down, but there was a little hesitation in her eyes: "Can this work?" ”

"Don't worry! People die in their own homes, not in taverns. ”

Qiao Xuan was not flustered, and calmly watched the group of people approaching.

"The two of them are Xi Yan and Qiao Xuan?" The older one of the officials stepped forward and asked.

"We are!" Qiao Xuan glanced at his face, with straight eyebrows, a round chin, a straight and thick mouth, and ears higher than his eyebrows, he was an upright and kind person.

"Someone reported to the official that you killed Wang Da and Lin Yuan, and the adults ordered me to take you back for questioning, let's go with us!"

The villagers of Taoyuan Village originally followed to see the joke, but when they heard such exciting news, they all looked at Qiao Xuan in shock.

I didn't see it! You are such a Qiao Xuan, you dare to kill people, and you are only pretending to be in the village on weekdays, and you are a ruthless person who attacks hard.

Qiao Xuan and Xi Yan were taken away, the people in the village dispersed, and the few ghostly people left behind slipped into Qiao Xuan's house when they saw that there was no one, groped for some things and left.
