Chapter 205: There are tigers and wolves on the back mountain
The old man walked around the side of the tombstone, and there were those who were slightly wealthier in the family who stood up the stone monument, and those who were slightly poorer in the family only stood up wooden signs.
He walked around, but he didn't see any more graves, especially the new graves were very easy to identify, and it was absolutely impossible for him to miss them. Finally, when I accidentally swept the corner of the tomb, I saw two stones that were extremely abrupt.
He immediately walked over and rubbed his toes against the ground, and the ground showed signs of turning over, and it was extremely soft. The old man was overjoyed, knowing that he had found the right place.
But after digging it out, it really scared him. He wanted to see if the woman would leave the broken jade for her father to bury, but he saw that there was only a broken bag.
When he opened the bag, there was a complete human skin, and the ugly face of the woman's father made him take three steps back and throw it away.
After calming down, he dug three feet into the ground again, and there was no broken jade, so he thought about it and came to find the woman.
Being asked by Leng Xiao, the old man had to confide the truth, and the woman couldn't help but be angry, but tears rained down. She raised her hand and was about to hit the old man, which frightened the old man.
He is hanging on the eaves at this moment, although it is not high, but he has an old bone, if he really grabs the ground with his head, life and death are unpredictable.
In his frightened gaze, the woman's arm was raised, but it fell again, returning to Leng Xiao.
Seeing this, Leng Xiao continued to ask, "Where are those two broken jades now?"
The old man's heart was a little relaxed, and he heard Leng Xiao's question, but his heart was tight, and he hurriedly reached out to touch it in his arms, but because the movement was too big, he almost fell.
In the end, he was still unharmed, but his pale and stiff body shook a few times. He took out a piece of broken jade, handed it to Leng Xiao, and said, "Great Immortal Mingcha, the old man has only had this piece of broken jade from beginning to end!"
Leng Xiao looked at the broken jade roughly, only to see that the broken jade was rough in workmanship, and there was no pattern, it was like the bottom of a bowl, for the monk, it was such a discardable thing, but for mortals, it was enough to sacrifice their lives to fight.
He handed the broken jade to the woman, and faintly spit out four words between his lips and teeth: "From beginning to end?"
The old man's wailing couldn't help but stop abruptly, but he quickly gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes...... The old man really admired the broken jade, before it was dug up, the old man had never seen it, and he only knew that there was such an object from the genealogy. ”
Leng Xiao sighed, but with a flick of his fingers, half a piece of wood and a few flat stones suddenly flew on the eaves, and the old man screamed and fell.
And those who walked with him were all silent, and their bodies were shaky. Even Li Da, who had been curled up and wailing just now, only dared to endure it at this moment.
The old man landed on the ground with his head, only snorted, and then stopped moving, and a blood stain came out of his head. But it didn't take long for him to sway to the side, how dare he pretend to be dead in front of Leng Xiao!
Even if his back is facing Leng Xiao, it makes him feel like he is always thorned in his back.
He called out a few times weakly, and Xu calmed down a little, and then said in an extremely hoarse and weak voice: "Yes, it was the old man who coveted the broken jade, so he made it difficult for Hong'er everywhere and forced his old father to hand over the broken jade." ”
"If Hong'er wants to join my Wang family, she must prepare a bride price, and the broken jade can be regarded as a bride price. ”
"My Wang family is the richest man in the village, I don't know how many girls secretly like dogs, the old man also looks at the Hong'er people are delicate, and they are kind-hearted, so I thought of such a two-way strategy!"
As soon as his words fell, the woman immediately reprimanded angrily: "You scoundrel, if you hadn't forced each other hard and ruined my family's livelihood, who would marry your stupid son!"
The old man wanted to refute, firstly, he had no strength, for fear of consuming a lot of life, and secondly, in front of Leng Xiao, he did not dare to be presumptuous, and only said in his heart, not to worry about this woman!
Leng Xiao knew that a woman could have such a big anger, except for the old father, the old man must have bullied her a lot, otherwise, there would not be a rumor that a widow Wang hooked up with the village chief fell into his ears.
"Where's the other piece of broken jade?"
"No, I don't know. At this moment, the old man didn't even have the strength to compliment and beg for mercy, so he only replied softly.
The woman immediately said: "Impossible, that broken jade was already taken away by your stupid son, how could you not know!"
When the old man heard this, he was shocked at first, and then said angrily: "This bastard thing, the old man has raised him for twenty years, and he doesn't know how to return it, so he took the broken jade and didn't hand it over to the old man!"
His mouth trembled a little, if that broken jade really fell into the hands of his stupid son, who knows where it would be left behind?
"How did your son die?"
"Don't dare to deceive the immortals, I picked up the ridge there, just because the mother-in-law is useless, there is no child under the knees, I am afraid of making people laugh, although this son is stupid, but he has also raised him for 20 years, this is a great goodness. ”
"Later, this kid had nowhere to go, maybe he was devoured by a tiger and a wolf when he went up the mountain," he hesitated, but still said, "After all, if he is not his own child, he is a burden, so the old man did not look for him." ”
His voice was so soft that I don't know if it was due to weakness or guilt.
Leng Xiao frowned slowly, and asked, "You said that there are tigers and wolves on this mountain?"
The old man was stunned when he heard this, his heart was already racing, and he never thought that Leng Xiao would ask such a question.
He immediately said: "It is strange to say, the old man near the mountain peak has also been there, but he has never seen any living creatures, and on the mountain behind the village, there are often wild beasts infested. ”
Xu was afraid that Leng Xiao would not believe it, so he added: "The old man has seen it with his own eyes, don't dare to deceive!"
Leng Xiao nodded slightly, his eyes closed vigorously, his gaze swept over the dozen or so people, and every time he passed one, he made that person hurriedly bow his head, not daring to look directly.
He interlaced his fingers and stroked them gently, but he asked the woman: "The lives of these dozen people are up to you." ”
The woman's delicate body trembled, her teeth bit her lip stubbornly, and she bit her lip a little white, looking at the dozen pairs of pleading eyes, her eyes fluctuated, but she quickly became firm.
Every word and deed of these people before, every picture, lingered in her mind. She said sonorously: "Engong, the concubine wants all these dog thieves to die!"
The dozen or so people couldn't help but look like ashes, and they opened their mouths to plead, but they found that they were already speechless, and even a move became a luxury.
The woman lifted Leng Xiao's long sword, first walked in front of the village chief, looked at the other party's cloudy eyes, she clenched her teeth tightly, held the long sword with difficulty, and finally screamed and stabbed down with a sword.
The long sword easily sank into the old man's heart, and the old man's body twitched twice, his mouth opened wide, and he was silent.
The woman's body trembled, and she subconsciously let go of her hand, took a few steps back, her chest continued to rise and fall, but she stepped forward a few more steps, pulled out her long sword, and walked towards the rest of the people.
Leng Xiao looked at the woman's back, and saw that one by one he fell to the ground, he didn't know why he was so hesitant, saying that it was kindness, but it was evasion.
"I'm here, what are you running away from?"
Even if you slash and kill some sinners, it is still as decisive as a weak woman who has never been stained with blood.
He clenched his fists, his eyes flickered slightly, he couldn't remember, was he like this back then, why did he always feel that the more he lived, the more unbearable he became?
There was a cry from the front, pulling Leng Xiao's thoughts back. But it was a piece of blood on the woman's body, and while taking people's lives, she was crying to herself, and with every step she took, her legs seemed to be pressed with a thousand powers.
When the corpse was scattered all over the ground, only Li Da was left.
The fear on his face had disappeared, and he had replaced it with a hideous face. Seeing this, the woman was struggling to support herself, but at this moment, she fell backwards and fell to the ground, and the long sword almost injured herself.
She was crying louder, and at this moment, she was already crying, and the long sword fell to the ground, pressing one of her hands. It was as if she had lost all her strength and could no longer lift the sword.
Leng Xiao stepped forward slowly, bent down and lifted the long sword, as decisive as he had killed the tiger demon baby before, and said softly: "Leng will do it for you." ”
The sword rises, the head falls.
With a sword light, Li Da's entire head rolled out, and the woman's expression was much calmer, and she stood up, avoiding the blood that flowed.
Leng Xiao put away his long sword, he didn't know whether his decisiveness was confronted or disguised. He didn't know why he was so resistant to facing death, everything always has a cause and an effect.
But all this, he was destined to have no way of knowing. Maybe it doesn't matter if he knows it or not, all he needs to do is overcome and change.
The woman asked softly beside him: "Engong, can you send the concubine back to the village, there are too many people dead in this house, the concubine does not want to stay any longer, and she also wants to go back and bury her father again." ”
Leng Xiao nodded and said: "It's okay, once the village chief dies, there must be no one to oppress you anymore, it's just the rumors of the villagers, you still have to bear it after all." ”
The woman smiled dismally: "After many years, I have long been used to it." ”
In this grass hut, there is a faint smell of blood, and this corpse may be born with maggots in a few days.
The two returned to the village again, and the woman left alone at the entrance of the village, unwilling to appear with Leng Xiao, so as not to be scolded by the villagers again.
Before parting, she looked at Leng Xiao deeply and asked, "Engong, this heaven and earth are big, do you have a day to return?"
Leng Xiao only said: "The girl also said, this world is big. ”
In this regard, the woman had already been mentally prepared, but her face still showed a little loss, and she quickly changed to a smile: "Engong is very gracious, the concubine has nothing to repay, and she will be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay this kindness!"
Leng Xiao didn't know that after he turned to leave, the complicated look of the woman who looked at him with a smile or loss all returned to indifference.
Who can know about the afterlife? Not everyone in this world believes in the afterlife.
As soon as his body moved, he landed on the hill behind the village, bypassed the cemetery, and went up the mountain.
He looked far away, and there was always a trace of hesitation in his heart, for example, the village chief once said that his son was picked up between the ridges.
But in this barren mountain and wilderness, there is only this small village, and there are only a few villagers, only a handful.
How did he find a baby that no one knows?
