"Isn't Erniu going up the mountain with you?"

"Erniu...... He...... Dead ......"

Da Chun immediately hid his face and began to cry.

"What's going on?"

Dachun's daughter-in-law listened to it for a moment, and then asked.

Da Chun sat on the edge of the bed and cried bitterly for a long time, calmed down a little, and then intermittently told his daughter-in-law the truth of the matter.

"How so?"

Da Chun's daughter-in-law stayed where she was, muttering to herself.

How could this such a sturdy young man, just go up the mountain for a while, meet a fox demon? A big living person, just gone? Even the corpse was eaten by the demon fox?

Dachun's daughter-in-law only felt that she had mixed feelings in her heart, but she couldn't express it in words.

"You herb ......"

When she saw the herb in her husband's hand, she wanted to ask something.

When Da Chun heard this, he suddenly jumped up from the bed, and said again and again: "Yes! Medicinal herbs! This is the ...... that Brother Erniu exchanged his life for."

After saying that, he ran out of the house as if he had gone crazy.

"Hey! Da Chun...... Dachun ......"

The daughter-in-law shouted anxiously behind her, but she couldn't stop him.

At this time, there was only one thought left in Da Chun's heart. This medicinal material was exchanged for Erniu's life, and he had to exchange it for money and send it to Erniu's family.

You can't let Erniu lose his life, not to mention, in the end, he won't even get the silver.

Da Chun was barefoot and ran all the way to Renxin Hall.

The old gentleman sitting in the hall stretched out his hand and took the medicinal herb, put it in his palm and carefully observed it for a long time, and said, "That's right! ”

"Since it's this medicinal herb, then ask the old gentleman to give me the silver!"

Da Chun was thinking about the matter of silver, and when he heard that the old gentleman had confirmed the medicinal herbs, he said.

"Heh......" The old gentleman was stunned for a moment, and then instructed the medicine boy in the store: "Xiaoding, go and fetch thirty taels of silver......

After the medicine boy took the silver, Da Chun grabbed it in his hand and wanted to get up and go out.

"This brother...... I see that your eyes are red, and you seem to be in a hurry. Or...... Sit down and let the old man be treated?"

As an old doctor who has been practicing medicine for decades, when I saw Da Chun's appearance, I knew that something was wrong.

"No ......"

Da Chun didn't have the heart to care about this, so he threw a word and went out of the door.

Renxintang was not far from Erniu's home, and it didn't take long for Dachun to arrive.

It's just that...... There is now only a blind old mother left in Erniu's family, and the old woman is not too young, coupled with years of hard work, her health is not very good.

This white-haired man sends the black-haired man to grief...... Da Chun was worried that she couldn't bear it. So for a while, he hesitated in front of Erniu's house, and he didn't dare to go in.

After a long time, Da Chun made up his mind and decided to sneak in quietly and leave the silver behind.

As for the death of Erniu, it is better to hide it for as long as possible.

Thinking of this, Da Chun tiptoed into Erniu's house, where Erniu's mother was sitting by the well in the courtyard with a pile of clothes beside her.

Looks like I'm going to do laundry.

The old woman's eyes were completely blind, so she could only grope slowly with her hands on the edge of the well, and threw the bucket into the well.

Looking at the old woman's rickety figure and struggling to lift the bucket, Da Chun only felt bitter in his heart.

"Is Erniu back?"

The old woman's eyes were invisible, but her ears were sharp. Da Chun thought that his movements were already very small, but he didn't expect to be heard by her.

Da Chun stood quietly, not daring to make a sound.

"Isn't it Erniu...... Why don't you speak......"

Hearing that there was no answer, the old woman asked again.

Only by this time, she already felt that something was wrong. The son knew that he had bad eyes, and every time he came back, he would shout outside the door.

The person who came in must not be Erniu!

Could it be that a thief came to steal?

The old woman guessed in her heart, and at the same time touched her side with her right hand, and there was nothing but a bucket around her. The old woman could only hold the bucket tightly in her hand for self-defense.

I am old and weak, if it is really a thief, what can I do!

Da Chun didn't dare to look at it anymore, and hurriedly put the silver on the table, intending to turn around and leave.

"Is it Da Chun? is it Da Chun!" the old woman asked as if she had suddenly thought of something.

Da Chun did not answer, and the old woman asked again, "What about Erniu? Didn't Erniu go up the mountain with you? Why didn't he come back......?"

Da Chun couldn't hold back any longer, and his eyes were full of tears.

"Auntie......! ......"

Da Chun fell to his knees with a puff and told the truth of the matter intermittently.

"Ah...... How could it be...... How could it be ......"

The old woman subconsciously took a step back, but forgot that there was still a basin for clothes at her feet, and she tripped over it, and was about to fall to the ground.

Fortunately, Da Chun's eyes were quick, and he rushed over with a brisk step to help her up.

As soon as his hands were on the old woman's arm, Da Chun felt that the place where he was in his hand was weak and weak, like a thin noodle. At a second glance, the old woman's face was already full of dead ashes, as if her spirit had been drained in an instant!

The old woman was paralyzed, and it took a lot of effort for Da Chun to help her back into the house.

When he sat down, Da Chun said, "Auntie...... Don't be too sad, Erniu is gone, and I will treat you as my own mother in the future......"

Having said that, Da Chun knew in his heart that these words were useless to the old woman at this moment.

"How can it be...... How could it be ......?"

The old woman just murmured one sentence after another, and the look in her eyes had long since disappeared.

Da Chun was also quite helpless when he saw this, no matter what he said at this time, he was afraid that it would not work, so he had to stay quietly aside.

......

The villagers who followed Da Chun up the mountain have also returned now, but there were only a dozen or so people when they went, and only two have come back now.

It was the two who came back, and they were also covered in blood at this time, and they looked a little stupid.

"Fuguier...... Why didn't I come back with you?"

A woman with a sallow face asked anxiously when she pulled one of the people back.

"Where is my Deng Xian......"

"Where's my second uncle?"

"And my dad......"

......

The villagers who followed the family up the mountain all gathered around at this moment and asked questions one after another. There were more than a dozen people who went up the mountain, and two came back, and they were still like this.

Some bad thoughts faintly appeared in the hearts of the villagers.

The one named Fuguier was pulled by everyone's arm and swayed, and then he seemed to come back to his senses and slowly said everything at the moment.

For a while, the voices of wailing and crying came one after another.

"Then you can't go to this Meishan in the future?" asked one of them.

"Naturally, I can't go, haven't you heard that there is a demon fox in the mountain? This time, so many people have been broken, who dares to go up the mountain?" replied to a person next to him.

The crowd gathered around and talked about it.

"No...... a young man suddenly stood up and said with a sad look on his face, "My father can't die in vain......"

"What else do you want? That's a demon fox, just your two taels of meat are not enough for it to stuff between its teeth......"

A rickety old man beside the young man said this.

"Then I'll go to the police, I can't deal with it. The county magistrate should have a way to ......"

The Ningxian order here has been an official for decades, and the reputation is good, and it is quite popular.

After young people said this, many people agreed with it in their hearts. Immediately, a group of family members of the deceased gathered and rushed in the direction of the county office.
