Ji Linyuan stumbled, trotting all the way to the ancestral hall, it was already dark, the door of the ancestral hall was closed, Ji Linyuan shouted in a low voice, no one answered, and suddenly his heart sank to the bottom.

He turned around and went to the back river.

Along the way, Ji Linyuan's heart kept sinking, as long as he thought that he was late, his heart couldn't help but tremble.

Widow Zhang and the others followed all the way, and when they saw Ji Linyuan running back with a pale face, their hearts suddenly felt a sigh.

"Yu'er is no longer in the ancestral hall?"

When Widow Zhang saw Ji Linyuan coming back alone, her face was pale, and she knew that she was afraid that it would not be good.

Ji Linyuan didn't stop at all when he heard this, and ran directly past Widow Zhang.

Seeing this, several people hurriedly followed.

Zhang Ziheng followed behind the grandmother he invited anxiously.

After the river, the village chief asked the recipe for the white jade ramen, worried that the night would be long and dreamy, and he couldn't wait for it to get dark, so the sky was dark and let the white jade be carried out.

In this regard, the patriarch was noncommittal and had no objection at all.

Anyway, you have to die, and it is better to die late than early, so as not to have many dreams at night.

Bai Yu was tied hands and feet, stuffed in a bamboo cage the size of a back basket, the whole person was oppressed and shrunk into a ball, frozen stiff hands and feet, pressed like this, the pain was unbearable.

Looking at the calm river not far away, like a monster thinking about its mouth, Bai Yu couldn't help but shrink his neck, and he was afraid in his heart.

The courage to die has already been exhausted in this waiting.

"When the time comes, sink the little widow into the pond. ”

The village chief's voice sounded in the night, and the villagers, who had already prepared on the side, heard this, bent down and lifted the white jade that was placed on the grass.

"The vixen deserves it. ”

"Phew, little slut, look at her eyes with hooks, seducing people everywhere, now it's okay, sink the pond"

"It's long overdue to sink this little slut into the pond. ”

For a while, the eyes of the women who were watching the excitement showed a burst of happiness.

The little widow is simply a thorn in their hearts, since the death of the eldest of the Ji family, the men in the family, whenever they see the little widow, their eyes are like hooks, hooked on the little widow's body.

The white face, the pitiful appearance, even if they didn't do anything, made them gnash their teeth with hatred, which made them always have a kind of man who would be as good as the little widow.

Now that they are going to be sunk, they are naturally happy in their hearts, and no one will seduce their men in the future.

Wang stood in the crowd, looked at the white jade that was lifted up, and smiled.

Qing'er, don't you like the little widow? The little widow is here to accompany you.

Bai Yu was carried in the air, watching himself get closer and closer to the river, and his bound hands were tightly clasped together.

Bai Yu was carried in the air, watching himself get closer and closer to the river, his bound hands involuntarily clenched together, his originally calm eyes, with unspeakable despair and fear, his snow-white teeth clenched his frozen blue lips, not letting himself cry out because of fear.

Time will not stand still because of Bai Yu's fear, and those who carry Bai Yu will naturally not stop, because of Bai Yu's fear and stopped, originally they were not far from the river, but after a while, Bai Yu was carried to the river, one of them took out the scimitar that had been prepared, the blade was sharpened, according to the hemp rope hanging from the cage is two knives, the rope broke in response, only to hear a pop, Bai Yu fell into the back river.

"Sister-in-law......"

Ji Linyuan didn't find Bai Yu in the ancestral hall, so he rushed to Houhe along the way, along the way, Ji Linyuan couldn't wait for two more legs, he was afraid that he would be too late again, and when he thought that Bai Yu might be dead, Ji Linyuan's whole person was a little in a trance.

Hurry up and hurry, and finally felt the back river, and saw that Bai Yu was thrown into the river, and suddenly, I only felt that my heart was broken, and I screamed.

As Ji Linyuan's voice sounded, the villagers who were watching the excitement suddenly changed their faces, and looked at Ji Linyuan with shocked eyes.

Seeing this, the patriarch who was standing on the side hurriedly walked over: "Lin Yuan, what are you doing when you come back?" The patriarch was a little panicked, why didn't this person come back sooner or later, but he came back at this time.

The patriarch had always been a little thin in front of Ji Linyuan, but at this moment, Ji Linyuan didn't seem to see him, and directly ignored him and ran towards the river.

Looking at the still rippling surface of the river, I didn't think about it, and with a bang, I jumped into the river.

The patriarch was originally a little embarrassed when he saw Ji Linyuan ignoring him, but as soon as he saw Ji Linyuan jump into the river without saying a word, he felt that his eyes were suddenly dark.

"Why don't you go and save people, what are you doing? The patriarch looked at the people of the Ji clan around him, and shouted, he was anxious, their Ji clan wanted to get up, and the biggest hope so far was Ji Linyuan, if Ji Linyuan died, how many years would their Ji clan have to wait for a talented master?

The people on the side were also frightened by the accident, and after hearing the patriarch's words, someone immediately jumped into the water to save Ji Linyuan.

The biting cold hit, Bai Yu's already frozen and stiff body, suddenly only felt as if a knife was cutting, Bai Yu, who was still holding his breath, but couldn't hold it back after holding it for a few seconds, subconsciously opened his mouth, the cold river water choked in, and a strong sense of suffocation came, making her involuntarily want to struggle, but her hands and feet were tied, and it was difficult to even move, so she could only let herself sink uncontrollably, gradually, Bai Yu's struggling movements became smaller, and the whole person was fluttering, as if the soul was going to break free from it, and her brain was blank。

Suddenly, she seemed to see an emaciated figure swimming over.

Linyuan!

Bai Yu, whose spirit was already a little sluggish, her eyes suddenly brightened, she wanted to question him, why did he come, how could he stand such a thin body in such a cold river, how could those villagers on the shore let him go?

She opened her mouth, but in vain.

Ji Linyuan saw Bai Yu tied to the cage almost as soon as he got out of the water, looking at Bai Yu's uncomfortable and desperate look, Ji Linyuan only felt as if there was a big hand in his heart that was holding hard, making him almost unable to breathe, and speeding up the movements of his hand, he was fast, but Bai Yu sank faster, seeing that Bai Yu's eyes gradually became godless, Ji Linyuan's heart sank uncontrollably.

Sister-in-law, don't die.

Ji Linyuan's heart was full of pain, and Bai Yu, who had lost his vitality, suddenly brightened his eyes, Ji Linyuan saw Bai Yu looking at him questioningly, and suddenly he was shocked, his hands kept sliding, and finally grabbed the bamboo cage, the bamboo cage was outrageously heavy, Ji Linyuan couldn't take it, seeing that he was about to lose his strength, Ji Linyuan's heart actually crossed a good idea that he could die with his sister-in-law.

But such a thought can be crossed in his mind, someone came to save him, thinking that it was the patriarch who asked people to save him, thinking about it, he tightly grasped the cage holding the white jade, and let the people pull it without letting go, and the villagers who originally came down to save people saw this, and suddenly had no choice, so they had to save both of them.

As soon as Ji Linyuan came ashore, he went to see Bai Yu, only to see Bai Yu curled up in a distorted posture in the bamboo cage, his hands and feet were tied, and there were many stones at the bottom of the cage.

Seeing this, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

Originally, the villagers who were still discussing how to punish Bai Yu when he was rescued by Ji Linyuan suddenly subconsciously shut up.

Ji Linyuan opened the bamboo cage with trembling hands, untied the ropes on Bai Yu's hands and feet, and laid it flat on the ground.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law. ”

Ji Linyuan screamed anxiously twice, but when he saw Bai Yu lying motionless on the ground, his whole person suddenly froze, trembling his hands, and probed the tip of Bai Yu's nose.

No breath!

Sister-in-law, dead?

For a while, the aura on Ji Linyuan's body changed sharply, and his whole body seemed to be shrouded in layers of cold air, which made people involuntarily afraid.

When the villagers on the shore saw Ji Linyuan like this, they couldn't help but feel chills in their vests and wanted to leave, but no one dared to move.

Xue Hanyu and a few people rushed over under the leadership of Widow Zhang, and what they saw was such a scene.

Bai Yu's face was pale, his eyes were closed and he was lying on the grass lifelessly, while Ji Linyuan was like a sculpture, kneeling in front of Bai Yu, exuding a lonely and murderous aura all over his body.

In such a scene, a few people still don't know, they are late, Widow Zhang saw this, and her heart, which was still full of hope, suddenly fell to the bottom.

"Yu'er!" Widow Zhang woke up the people present from this strange atmosphere with a crying voice, and the villagers were about to leave when they saw it, as for the little widow, she was already dead, what else did they see.

After thinking about it, he was about to leave, but he heard a condensed voice sound: "I forced my sister-in-law to death, and you plan to leave like this?" The sound that seemed to have returned from hell made the villagers present shudder.

"She's still saved, get out of the way. ”

Zhang Ziheng and the invited grandmother had just arrived, and when the grandmother saw Bai Yu lying there, she walked to Ji Linyuan's side in two steps and said.

At this moment, Ji Linyuan seemed to be trapped in a cold swamp, unable to struggle, at this moment he had only one thought in his heart, that is, to avenge his sister-in-law, Mama's words were like the sunshine in winter, which suddenly made Ji Linyuan excited.

"Mama, sister-in-law......"

However, before he finished his words, he saw the grandmother walk to Bai Yu's side, and kept pressing on Bai Yu's chest, and with the movements of the grandmother, Bai Yu couldn't stop spitting out of her mouth.

"Ahem......" Bai Yu was choked up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a middle-aged woman in her forties with a serious expression, constantly pressing on her chest.

"Thank you. "Bai Yu was choked and angry, if it wasn't for the woman in front of him to save him, he was afraid that he would have to die like this.

Bai Yu's voice was very small, as if a mosquito was humming, but it still did not escape Ji Linyuan's ears, Ji Linyuan heard the sound and hurriedly picked Bai Yu up from the ground.

"Sister-in-law, you're awake. ”

Ji Linyuan looked at Bai Yu, who had woken up, his narrow eyes were filled with tears, great, his sister-in-law did not die.

Bai Yu was half-hugged by Ji Linyuan, looked to the side, and saw that the village chief, the patriarch and the villagers were there, so he couldn't help but break away from Ji Linyuan's hand and sit with his weak body: "I'm fine." ”

As he spoke, he paused, and slapped Ji Linyuan on the shoulder: "Why did you come!"

She originally wanted to say why he came, but when the words came to her lips, the painting style changed, and the whole person exploded, don't look at what she saw before, but at the moment of death, only she knows how much she doesn't want to die, how unwilling she is, why did she finally live another and die like this?

Originally, Ji Linyuan was worried that Bai Yu would ask him why he came back, but he didn't want to, Bai Yu actually said such a sentence, looking at Bai Yu's fried hair, Ji Linyuan snorted, his eyes regained vitality, and looked at Bai Yu guiltily: "Lin Yuan is late, let my sister-in-law suffer." ”

Bai Yu raised his chin weakly, indicating that it was not like that.

Ji Linyuan knew that Bai Yu was afraid that he didn't have the strength to speak, so he glanced at Widow Zhang who was standing aside: "Auntie, it's so cold, and my sister-in-law's clothes are also wet, so please take my sister-in-law back to change her clothes." ”

Widow Zhang saw that the faces of the patriarch and the village chief were getting more and more ugly, but Ji Linyuan didn't mean to pay attention at all, hesitated for a moment, nodded, and was about to go home with Bai Yu.

At this moment, the village chief finally couldn't hold it back: "The little widow can't go if she doesn't keep the woman's way." ”

The village chief's heart was flustered at the moment, he never thought that Ji Linyuan would run back to save the little widow, and the little widow was obviously dead, but she was rescued again, if the little widow told her about forcing her to ask for a noodle recipe, then the backbone of their family would be broken, and the village chief was afraid that it would come to an end.

Originally, there were a few people in the village who wanted to compete with him for the position of village chief, and if this happened, they would definitely not let go of this opportunity.

At this moment, there was only one thought in the village chief's mind, the little widow must die.

With the village chief coming forward, the rest of the villagers immediately echoed, and the originally scared hearts gradually became less afraid, after all, isn't there still a village chief? Besides, Ji Linyuan is also a scholar, if he really fights, he will not only be beaten, and he doesn't know what they were afraid of before.

"That is, the little widow can't walk if she doesn't keep the woman's way, and she wants to sink into the pond. ”

"It's just that you can't go. ”

There are one and two, and the number of people who echo gradually increased, and the villagers' emotions became a little excited, and Widow Zhang, who was originally helping Bai Yu to leave, hesitated after hearing the voice of the villagers, and then sped up her steps to help Bai Yu go, but she didn't want Bai Yu to hold her back.

"Auntie, I'm fine, just wait. Bai Yu was a little worried, if she was Ji Linyuan at this time, they were all weak scholars, and if the villagers made a move, I was afraid that they would only suffer losses.

For the villagers, Bai Yu's heart no longer has any other thoughts about them, such as what human nature is inherently good.

Thinking like this, Bai Yu leaned on Widow Zhang's body, adjusting her breathing to recover her strength as soon as possible.

Widow Zhang was also worried about Ji Linyuan and them, and when she saw Bai Yu say this, she glanced at her worriedly: "Can you hold on?"

Bai Yu nodded when he heard this.

The grandmother who followed Zhang Ziheng also walked to Widow Zhang's side to help Widow Zhang support Bai Yu.

Seeing this, Xue Hanyu and Zhang Ziheng knew that this was their village's business, and it was inconvenient for them outsiders to speak, but just because they couldn't speak didn't mean they couldn't move, the two of them walked to Ji Linyuan's side in a few steps, proving that they were on the same front as him.

Either way, they all advance and retreat together.

Ji Linyuan felt the movements of Xue Hanyu and Zhang Ziheng, and smiled knowingly, but his eyes fell on Bai Yu and the others, seeing that they hadn't left yet, he knew that his sister-in-law must be worried that they were unwilling to go, thinking like this, he frowned, and was about to speak, when the patriarch who had been silent on the side walked in front of Ji Linyuan.

"Lin Yuan, don't be confused, I don't want to watch the little widow die like this, but if you don't abide by the woman's way, you should sink into the pond, and only in this way will it not affect you. ”

The patriarch knew that Ji Linyuan was very protective of the little widow, and saw that Ji Linyuan was going to get estranged from their clan, and wanted to remedy it, so he directly brought out Ji Linyuan's future to persuade him.

At the same time, he also took the opportunity to show that it was not that he didn't save Bai Yu, but that there was no way to save him, and if he saved her, he couldn't save him.

If it were a different person, he would naturally know what to do when he heard such words, but Ji Linyuan was a little ignorant, at this moment he just wanted to go back quickly, his sister-in-law was soaked all over her body, and if she continued like this, she was afraid that she would catch a cold.

Seeing the patriarch say this, he didn't even look at the patriarch and smiled mockingly: "If you want my sister-in-law's life to save my future, then I don't want my future." ”

He studied because he liked it before, and at the same time, it was his mother's expectation, but his mother died, and his sister-in-law's sentence that he wanted him to be a backer became his motivation, but if he lost his sister-in-law's life because of his future, then don't have such a future.

None of the people present expected Ji Linyuan to say this, and they were a little stunned for a while, Bai Yu was also stunned when he heard the sound, and then, he felt a slight warmth in his heart, and his eyes were a little sour.

"Besides, I believe that my sister-in-law will not do such a thing, and the absence of Gongsha does not mean anything, I have a way to prove my sister-in-law's innocence, you just can't tolerate my sister-in-law anymore, and I'm afraid that you have to wait a little longer, otherwise if you wronged my sister-in-law, it will be murder, and all the uncles and aunts present are afraid that they will not be able to escape the lawsuit, and they will have to go to the yamen of the county seat. ”

Ji Linyuan's words were like a thunderbolt, exploding in the minds of the villagers, and they couldn't react for a while.

The little widow is innocent? How could it be.

But thinking about it, Ji Linyuan's words later, the little widow didn't abide by the woman's way, they sank her in the pond, and no one would say anything wherever she went, but if the little widow was really innocent, then they would hurt people, and they would pay for their lives.

Thinking of this, the villagers who were still emotional and vowed to sink the little widow into the pond hesitated.

"How is it possible, the little widow's palace sand is gone, what innocence is there, you are lying to us, that slut is a slut, what innocence is there. ”

"It's not delicious but dumplings, it's fun but sister-in-law, you protect the little widow so much, can it be that you are the little widow's concubine?"

Since Bai Yu was rescued, the whole Wang family became gloomy, seeing that Bai Yu was about to be taken away, where could he still bear it.

As soon as Wang's words were finished, the villagers couldn't help whispering, Ji Linyuan's whole breath condensed, and the hands under his sleeves were tightly pinched together, but he also knew that now was not the time to fight, so he turned his head and glanced at Wang coldly, and then looked at the villagers and village chiefs and patriarchs present.

"Wait a minute, I can prove my sister-in-law's innocence, if my sister-in-law really doesn't abide by women's morals, it's not too late for everyone to do it, you just don't rush to do it here. ”

As he spoke, he walked in the direction of Bai Yu without looking at them again.

Originally, the villagers were a little stunned when they heard Ji Linyuan's words, no one dared to be this bird, seeing Ji Linyuan say this, there was no objection immediately, yes, it was just a matter of waiting for a while, and when the time came, the little widow would really not abide by the woman's way, and it would not be too late to sink into the pond.

Seeing that the villagers were silent, the village chief suddenly panicked, but he also knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to call them now, so he could only let Ji Linyuan and them take Bai Yu away like this.

The patriarch looked at the back of Ji Linyuan and the others leaving, and his intestines were blue for a while, and now, Lin Yuan was afraid that he was completely alienated from their clan.

As soon as Bai Yu and the others went back, Widow Zhang lit the fire in the kitchen, and asked Bai Yu and them to hurry up and change their clothes, and wait for the two of them to change their clothes and sit by the fire for a while before they could be relieved.

Ji Linyuan saw that Bai Yu had eased up, and went out with Xue Hanyu, asking Widow Zhang to tell Bai Yu about their plans.

"Yu'er, what do you think?" Widow Zhang told Bai Yu the identity of her grandmother, and at the same time told her about the physical examination, but as soon as she finished speaking, she didn't see Bai Yu's answer, and she was immediately anxious, Gong Sha was gone, this is the only thing that can prove Bai Yu's innocence.

"Auntie, it would be good if this could prove my innocence. Bai Yu was silent for a long time, and when he heard Widow Zhang's anxious voice, he raised his head and spoke slowly.

As a modern person, such a way is a humiliation for her, her innocence, her own thing, why should she prove it to others?

But when she thought of Ji Linyuan and Aunt Zhang, she was in a hurry for her, and tried her best, how could she refuse, besides, it was indeed the only way, compared to life, what was this humiliation, and after thinking about it, Bai Yu didn't feel anything.

Widow Zhang was still afraid that Bai Yu would not be willing, and when she saw her say this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you know. ”

Bai Yu smiled when she saw this, got up and saluted the middle-aged woman who spoke little and was serious: "Thank you Mama for saving your life, then you will trouble Mama." ”

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she glanced at Bai Yu, "As long as you really don't do it, no one will wronged you." ”

The villagers followed Bai Yu back to the village, and as soon as Bai Yu and the others went out, they saw the villagers gathered outside the courtyard, looking afraid that she would run away.

couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, they really saw her.

"Lin Yuan, do you have any way to prove the innocence of the little widow. ”

The village chief, who was waiting on the side, saw Bai Yu come out, and hurriedly said, but he was thinking about how to splash dirty water on Bai Yu.

When Ji Linyuan heard that he would let Mama give Bai Yu a physical examination, the villagers on the side immediately stopped doing it when they saw this.

"The medical examination, that's the person you brought, you are what you are. ”

They have also heard of the physical examination, but the person who has done the physical examination was invited by Ji Linyuan, and they must not believe it.

Zhang Ziheng, who had been standing beside Ji Linyuan without making a sound, suddenly came up with the violent temper that he had endured for a long time when he heard this.

"Mama Su is a female official in the palace, how many thousands of gold in the city of Fucheng teach Mama, famous, who bought her, according to your meaning, don't check your body, what to test, just drag it to the sinking pond again." "These people clearly want their sister-in-law to die, according to him, they are too gentle to them, just beat them up, and talk about a fart.

As soon as Zhang Ziheng's words were finished, the villagers were immediately stunned, how did they know that the person they invited was actually someone from the palace, a person from the palace, who was a person who had been an errand by the emperor's side, who dared to say anything.

The villagers didn't make trouble, and the village chief didn't want to say anything by himself, so he directly asked Mama Su to check Bai Yu's body.

Mama Su didn't say anything when she heard this, and went directly to Bai Yu's room, and Bai Yu followed in and lay on the bed.

Although I thought very clearly, but at this moment, my heart was a little twisted, and in the end I had to comfort myself that it would be a gynecological examination, and thinking like this, I was not so repulsed.

When Mama Su came out of the room, the villagers immediately set their eyes on Mama Su.

"Little lady, she is innocent. ”

As soon as Mama Su's words were finished, the villagers were a little incredulous, but no one dared to question Mama Su's words in the end.

Ji Linyuan had never doubted that Bai Yu was innocent, and he was not surprised at all to hear Mama Su say this.

"What else do you have to say? ”

They shouted and shouted at the little widow to sink into the pond, that was because the little widow did not abide by the woman's way, and now that she has proved her innocence, they naturally have no such thoughts, seeing Ji Linyuan say this, they immediately stopped talking.

Seeing this, the patriarch hurriedly walked out: "Since the little widow is innocent, that's a good thing, and we don't have to let the little widow die." ”

"But no, it's all from the same village, who is so ruthless, Lin Yuan, don't take it to heart. As soon as the patriarch finished speaking, the village chief walked over.

Ji Linyuan looked at the two people in front of him, without too much expression on his face, "Since you have proven your sister-in-law's innocence, please go back, don't you still want to carry my sister-in-law to Shentang?"

Ji Linyuan didn't give it to the barbarians like this, so that the village chief and the patriarch couldn't get off the stage, but he didn't want to give them the stairs, when he thought that his sister-in-law almost died, he couldn't wait to let them taste it too, where would they still have a good face to show them.

Ji Linyuan said so, and they were embarrassed to stay here any longer, so they all went home one by one.

As soon as the villagers left, Zhang Ziheng, Mama Su and Xue Hanyu left in a carriage.

"You stay at home today, come to the academy tomorrow, and I will take leave for you with my husband." Before leaving, Xue Hanyu didn't persuade Ji Linyuan to go with them.

Hearing this, Ji Linyuan nodded at Xue Hanyu.

Zhang Ziheng As soon as they left, Widow Zhang went to make dinner, at the dinner table, Widow Zhang was eating, while looking at Bai Yu, she looked at her and stopped talking, Bai Yu showed her straight hair, put down the chopsticks in her hand, and looked at Widow Zhang without tears.

"Auntie, if you have anything to say, just say it, you look at me here, my heart is hairy, and I can't eat. ”

Widow Zhang's heart was really curious, seeing that Bai Yu was in such a club, she glanced at Ji Linyuan, and finally gritted her teeth and asked.

"Yu'er is innocent, but why don't you have that palace sand?"

She thought about this question for a long time, and she didn't understand it when she wanted to break her head, Ji Linyuan on the side heard Widow Zhang's question, and the roots of her ears turned red, but she didn't move, he knew that he should avoid it at the moment, but he was also very curious.

Sister-in-law's innocence, there is no doubt about it, but how can Gong Sha be so good?

Bai Yu originally thought that Widow Zhang was going to ask something, but when she asked this, she couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, her eyes swept Ji Linyuan, and saw that he was red and didn't move.

"Miyasha, probably, it's for me to wash it. When she was locked up in the ancestral hall, she thought carefully that the palace sand was the gecko's blood, and she didn't avoid anything after ordering the palace sand, and she took a bath every day, maybe the palace sand had not yet formed, and then she washed the gecko blood like this, and she didn't pay attention to it.

She really couldn't think of any other reason than that.

Widow Zhang and Ji Linyuan never thought that it would be such an answer, and they couldn't react for a while.

"It's gone, then you've been wronged for what you've suffered this time. For a long time, Widow Zhang muttered.

Bai Yu nodded in agreement when she heard this, isn't it? This is a bloody case caused by taking a bath, and it almost wiped out his life.

After eating, Widow Zhang went home, Ji Linyuan sat by the fire, looked at Bai Yu fixedly, and slowly spoke for a long time.
