Chapter 97: Dumb Girl
Taoyuan Village is the richest village within a radius of 100 miles, people from nearby villages like to come here to buy things, in addition, Taoyuan Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are many outsiders who come here to play.
The group walked along the market, and Qin Huan was passing by an alley, when he suddenly saw a figure running over, followed by five or six people chasing after him.
Shi Beiyan, Shi Yi, and the other two guards all noticed this movement, and several people chased after the figure.
In the middle of the alley, the mute girl huddled in the corner, shivering.
It was the village militia who chased her, one by one running out of breath, "It's for your own good to catch you back, you can go with us." ”
The mute girl hugged her knees, lowered her head, her messy hair covering her entire face, and she did not say a word, nor did she respond to them.
The militia was helpless, and before they could do anything, several people put their hands together and silently read something before they began to arrest people.
The militia at the front was about to touch the mute woman's shoulder, but a pain came from his knee, and he fell to his knees as soon as his feet went limp.
The rest of the militia were in the same situation, looking around and seeing that there was no one, their legs hurt as if they had been hit.
"Is it?" One of the militiamen looked at the mute woman in horror.
Several other people also felt supernatural, and they couldn't help but panic.
The older militiaman spoke, "Everyone knows that it is a mute girl who will be baptized at the altar tomorrow, and she has to think about her family if she dares to escape, and the village will not tolerate their surname." ”
"She didn't dare to run away." The rest of the men looked at each other, got up from the ground and left.
Shi Yi threw away the stone in his hand and walked out of the alley, "Girl, they were driven away, you are safe." ”
The mute girl seemed to be unable to hear, still squatting in the corner with her head in her hands.
"Girl, it's okay, I'm a good person, I won't hurt you."
She didn't speak or look up, Shi Yi took two steps forward, squatted down and bent over, and patted her on the shoulder, "Girl, where is your home, I'll send you back." ”
Hearing the word home, the mute girl was moved, and her hostility towards Shi Yi dissipated a lot.
"I'm such a good man, you see, I don't have a weapon to hurt you." Shi Yi threw the saber away.
Hearing the sound of the weapon landing, the mute girl slowly lifted her head between her legs.
"Ahh Shi Yi was startled, even if there was hair to cover it, the dumb girl's face still made Shi Yi swallow his saliva.
Her forehead is wide and her face is narrow, her eyes are high and low, her chin is protruding and upturned, and there is even an upward arc, Shi Yi can't see more clearly, but the other party's face is distorted, and it is really scary at first glance.
When the mute girl heard his voice, she quickly pressed her face down again and pierced her head lower.
Shi Yi patted his head, regretting that he was startled, "Girl, I'm ...... I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to offend. ”
The appearance of the dumb girl reminded Qin Huan of Fang Ye and Aman.
She didn't have kung fu and came slower than Shi Yi, but she also heard and saw what was happening.
The militiamen had just said a few words, and the altar baptism in their mouths must be a sacrifice, and the person in the corner of the wall should be the living sacrificer.
Since the militia dared to let this person stay here, they expected that the other party would not escape, and even her persuasion would not be effective.
Qin Huan squatted next to the mute girl, "Don't be afraid, this sachet will be given to you, and we will go to rescue you tomorrow." ”
She put the sachet next to the mute girl and walked back with Shi Yi, although Shi Yi followed, she was a little anxious, "County Lord, just leave her like this, she will definitely be arrested." ”
"If you don't leave her, tomorrow night, her whole family may be arrested, and you can't take her away." Qin Huan walked slowly in the alley.
Shi Yi understood, "What is the sachet that the county lord gave her, when she came out of the capital, she saw that the county lord had been carrying it with her, how could she give it to her?" ”
"A refreshing sachet, I hope she doesn't have a chance to use it." Qin Huan was a little sorry to give away the sachet.
Before leaving Beijing, Yunshuang gave her sweat medicine, and was worried that she would be drugged by the gangsters, so she specially made this bag of sachets, although it could not prevent people from falling asleep, but it had the effect of refreshing and awakening the mind, and at critical moments, it could delay the coma time.
Shi Yi scratched his head and walked out of the alley, when Beiyan was watching people play chess outside the alley.
Shi Yi walked next to him, it was a middle-aged man and an old man playing chess, Shi Yi didn't notice it at first, but when the old man played chess, he found that the old man had six fingers, and the fingers were connected to each other, like fish fins.
Shi Beiyan was tired of seeing it, shook the folding fan, and returned to the market with Qin Huan.
The more Shi Yi thought about it, the more panicked he became, "Why are there so many in Taoyuan Village...... Monster-like people. ”
Shi Beiyan pointed to the vicinity, "Be cautious in your words and deeds." ”
Shi Yi hurriedly covered his mouth.
Qin Huan hooked his lips, "You just watched chess, what did you see?" ”
Shi Beiyan stopped in front of a grain store, and he looked up at the plaque.
"The people here believe in God very much, the two people who played chess just now have Buddha strings in their hands, rosaries around their necks, and even a few charms in their sleeves, and they also have a faint incense on their bodies."
Qin Huan stopped with him, and in the grain shop, a middle-aged man in a costume, but half-paralyzed, sitting in a wooden wheelchair was buying grain.
The entourage behind him already carried a lot of pork, bones, and fresh vegetables in their hands.
The shopkeeper of the grain shop packed the rice he wanted, and his attitude was very respectful, "Good man, next time you want to send food to Shantang, you will send someone to give an order, and I will send it directly here, and you will not be saved from running around." ”
The middle-aged man's legs are crippled, but he always has a warm smile on his face, "The children are growing up, so I don't worry if I don't go to see it myself." ”
The charity hall houses orphaned children and has been supported by donations for years.
"A good man is indeed a bodhisattva." The shopkeeper of the grain shop became more and more respectful.
"The Buddha blesses the world, and we just do our best." The attendant pushed the middle-aged man out of the grain store.
Qin Huan looked at their departing backs, "Could it be that he is Liu Youwan, a good person, but he is as his name suggests, he is a good person who does good deeds and accumulates virtues, but unfortunately his leg is broken." ”
Shi Beiyan chuckled, "If he really has a problem with his legs, there will be no mud on the soles of his shoes." ”
"Is he pretending to be sick?" Qin Huan's eyes curled, "The richest man in the village, masochistic and pretending to be sick, it's a bit interesting." ”
Shan Tang.
Liu Youwan asked the kitchen to stew the big bones in soup to nourish the children's bodies.
The children of Shantang are all fatherless and motherless orphans, they have suffered a lot at a young age, and the warmth of some stars can make them remember for life.
When Liu Youwan came, children of all sizes gathered around him to talk, and among the group of children, there was the tallest boy who knelt in front of the wheelchair.
"Good man, I'm fifteen years old, and I want to follow you on a journey!" The boy's eyes were full of determination.
As soon as he knelt, other teenage children also knelt beside him, begging to follow Liu Youwan.
Liu Youwan had no choice but to agree to let the two oldest go with him, and the other children were still young and needed to stay in Shantang.
"What a good man who buys people's hearts." Outside the good hall, Qin Huan was almost about to applaud Liu Youwan.
