Farmer’s Blessed Girl

He tied up the bundle, put it into a small cave, and pressed it down with a small stone, then swept away the traces, and dragged Xia Xin away.

Walking, walking, Zhou Yin hugged Xia Xin into his arms, his voice trembling slightly, "Xinniang, I'm sorry..."

The voice was barely audible, but Xin Niang could hear it clearly, her eyes were reddish, she pushed him away, and saw two men in black with swords standing behind, looking them up and down with sharp eyes.

The uneasiness that had been lingering in his heart suddenly fell to the ground.

The man in black looked at them indifferently, and asked, "Did you meet two people at the foot of the mountain before, and the donkey cart they rode belonged to your husband and wife?"

Zhou Yin pulled Xia Xin behind him to protect him, nodded and said, "Yes, we have handed over all the money, there is really nothing left, man, can you let us go?"

Xia Xin nodded while hiding behind Zhou Yin.

The man in black sneered, and approached the two of them with a sword in his hand, "You think I'm a fool? Bai Qi would steal people's property? Say, where is the thing he gave you?"

"I don't know who you are talking about, but we did meet two people at the foot of the mountain before. They were very fierce and said they wanted to borrow our car. I didn't want to borrow it, but they were covered in blood and fierce. We were afraid. He left the car to them and ran for his life."

The man in black looked past him at Xia Xin, and said with a smirk, "If you don't tell me, I have a way for you to say it. It's not on Bai Qi's master and servant, it must be on you."

After all, he leaped deep and landed behind Zhou Yin, reaching out to grab Xia Xin...

But Zhou Yin's movements were not slow. When he jumped up, he quickly turned around to block Xia Xin, stretched out his hand and pushed her to the other side, and shouted: "Run, run towards me and you just now!" Run in the direction you said—"

Xia Xin fell to the ground and saw Zhou Yin and the man in black fighting together, so she wiped the tears off her face, got up and ran.

Seeing this, the other man in black turned around and was about to chase after him, but Zhou Yin ignored the sword that was about to fall on his body, turned around and stopped him...

He pounced on him, hugged him directly and rolled down the hillside, the man in black stabbed him twice but couldn't stop him.

Zhou Yin's style of play is completely reckless. Even if the people in black are good at martial arts, they are still confused by his style of play.

He tightly strangled the throat of the man in black under him, picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it hard at his forehead.

The man in black who was chasing after him stabbed him with a sword, pierced his wrist, and slashed his face, but he didn't dare to kill him. He still had to ask where the thing was.

Zhou Yin strangled a man in black abruptly, and then picked up his sword with his left hand to face another man in black.

He knows some kung fu, but not much, and some of them are just unscrupulous, brave and brave, not like the man in black, who wants to get something from his mouth, so even if he can hurt him, he dare not take it seriously kill him.

The man in black also quickly realized that this was not good for him, because he was restrained and the other party was too desperate, so he also suffered some injuries.

So Xia Xin had to be caught.

The man in black left Zhou Yin behind, turned around and chased after Xia Xin where he had escaped.

Zhou Yin's expression changed, and he followed with the sword in his hand...

Xia Xin buried her head in running, feeling that she had been running for a long time, but when she raised her head, Zhou Yin was kicked in front of her. Xia Xin screamed and rushed to support him. Seeing the bones, there is a blood hole on the waist and abdomen that keeps bleeding...

She was so frightened that she quickly reached out to cover his wound, "Zhou Yin, Zhou Yin..."

Zhou Yin tried to sit up, pulled Xia Xin behind him, raised his eyes to look at the man in black who kept approaching him, his sword was knocked down, his eyes flashed fiercely, but the expression on his face changed in the next moment , They all begged, "Hero, we really don't have what you said. If you don't believe me, I took off my clothes and showed you, and asked the hero to let me go. There is a sixty-year-old mother in my family, and there are children waiting to be fed. I can't die..."

"Hand over the things if you're afraid of death." The man in black said expressionlessly, "I don't care about you killing my companion."

Zhou Yin almost gritted his teeth. He stood in front of Xia Xin, and his heart was entangled. He couldn't bear Xia Xin to die here, but...

He raised his eyes and looked at the man in black. These people were guessing, and they could kill him without evidence. For those evidences, it is unknown how many people died...

At this moment, many things flashed through Zhou Yin's mind, including brothers and sisters-in-law, daughters-in-law, and Bai Qi's master and servant. Finally, he turned his head slightly to look at his wife.

Xia Xin burst into tears, hugged him from behind, choked up and said, "He won't let me go..."

That's right, they can't escape if they don't hand over the things. If they hand them over, they will die, and there are household registration and road guides they brought when they went to pick up the things in the package. Once they find out, maybe they will return Cut the weeds and roots to find Qili Village...

Zhou Yinqiang suppressed the soreness in his heart, held Xia Xin's hand tightly, and said in a low voice: "I am sorry for you, I am too confident..."

I thought no one would come after me.

Xia Xin shook her head, "No, you didn't apologize to me."

Although the sword was in front of him, Zhou Yin was not willing to give up. He grabbed a handful of soil, raised it when the man in black came up, got up, grabbed Xia Xin, and ran away.

He said to Xia Xin: "Even if you can't run, you still have to run. You must run forward and don't look back. My daughter is still waiting for you at home. Maybe God took pity on us and let us live?"

Because of Zhou Yin's words, Xia Xin supported him and kept running.

The man in black, who was blinded by the soil, was furious, and his heart was full of hostility. Seeing that they wanted to live so much, he simply chased after them with a sword and teased, "Two ants, are you still thinking about stealing life?"

There were more and more injuries on Zhou Yin's body. The other party seemed to like to draw swords on his face and legs. Seeing his face covered with blood, his wife screamed in shock and dragged her injured leg forward. He is very happy.

The man in black teased them for a long time, and seemed to be bored, so he landed directly in front of them, blocking their way, pointed his sword at Xia Xin and asked Zhou Yin, "I'll ask you one last time, do you want to tell me?"

Zhou Yin was covered in blood at this moment. He got up from the ground and wanted to hide Xia Xin behind his back, but Xia Xin pressed his hand, tears fell drop by drop, dripping on the back of his hand, and said in a low voice : "Don't be afraid..."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and pounced on the sword, the sharp sword entered his body, and Xia Xin fell limply to the ground.

Zhou Yin's pupils shrank, "Xinniang—"

He climbed up to catch her, and stretched out his hand to cover her wound. Xia Xin held his hand tightly and said, "I know, you are afraid of me alone, so don't be afraid now."

She said softly: "I don't regret it, and you don't regret it either, okay?"

Zhou Yin hugged her and smiled, but couldn't help the tears falling on her face, he nodded and said, "Okay, I don't regret it, I don't regret it."

Zhou Yin said that he didn’t regret it, but he still regretted it in his heart. He shouldn’t have taken Xia Xin out today, he should have left her at home. The girl is still so young, and it’s just when she needs her mother’s company, why is he so confused? Did she come out in the tropics?

The brilliance in Xia Xin's eyes gradually dissipated. Zhou Yin hugged her, and there was no reason to run away. He looked up at the man in black, reached out and grabbed his sword, his eyes were full of madness, "What are you waiting for? What else can you learn from me?"

"you!"

Zhou Yin held the blade of the sword with his hand and pulled it towards him. The man in black withdrew the sword, his face was full of provocative anger, "Do you really think I won't kill you?"

He stabbed towards his arm, but Zhou Yin moved his body, and the sword pierced directly into his chest.

The man in black was furious, and drew his sword out. Seeing that the two of them fell together with their hands clasped, their eyes closed, their breathing became weaker and weaker, and finally they were silent.

When he calmed down, there were only two quietly bleeding corpses on the ground. He stepped forward and turned over. There was indeed no evidence on them, not even anything to prove their identities.

The man in black frowned, and was thinking about whether he should take the body back for careful investigation, when a firework exploded in the dark sky, which was a signal of an emergency call.

He looked down at the two corpses on the ground, kicked them and turned around to leave.

The thing might not really be on them, but where the fireworks exploded.

Zhou Yin and Xia Xin didn't return all night. Although the old Zhou's family was puzzled, they didn't worry too much. They thought they didn't receive anything, so they stayed in the county for an extra night.

It started to rain that night, and the next day was also drowsy. It didn't look like Shi Neng was sunny, so Zhou Jin only took Zhou Dalang and Wednesday Lang to the field, leaving Zhou Zhoulang with a few younger brothers to clean up the house. .

Zhou Zhoulang felt that the thatched house would still be low and drowsy even if it was tidied up, and it would not be very clean, so he groped here and there. Find mushrooms."

Zhou Zhoulang chased him out with a broom, only in time to see his back, "You're lazy again—"

Zhou Zhou Lang shouted without looking back: "I'm going to find mushrooms for my uncle, the mushroom stew is delicious."

A group of friends ran up the mountain with bare hands, laughing and laughing, not sure if they were really looking for mushrooms.

When they got to the mountain, everyone dispersed to look for mushrooms by themselves. Zhou Zhoulang not only wanted to find mushrooms, but also pheasants and rabbits, so he walked farther away. He hummed and walked around two trees. It came into view so abruptly.

Zhou Zhoulang was taken aback, his hands and feet were a little cold, and it took him a while to find his voice, "Little, uncle?"

He ran up and crawled up, knelt down to look, the ground was covered with blood, and the face of the person who fell on the ground was pale, and his face was scratched with scars, almost invisible.

But I can't tell anymore, this is also the uncle who I met yesterday morning, Zhou Zhoulang still recognizes it.

He stretched out his hand to push him, but he didn't dare to touch him when he reached out.

"Thursday, where have you been? Come and see, I found two clusters of mushrooms, and I will share one with you..." The little friend came over as he spoke, and when he saw the people on the ground screamed, he leaned back He fell to the ground and rolled down twice before stopping, "Here... how come there are dead people here?"

Only then did Zhou Zhoulang dare to reach out to touch Zhou Yin and Xia Xin. His hands were cold and breathless.

Zhou Zhoulang couldn't help crying, "Uncle, Aunt, Uncle..."

He turned his head and cried to his friends, "Go back and call someone, this is my uncle—"

Someone turned around and ran into the village. Zhou Yin stretched out his arms to hug Zhou Yin, trying to pick him up, but he was too young, and fell down after only lifting it.

When Tuesday Lang ran up with the people from the village, he saw Zhou Zhou Lang was sitting beside Zhou Yin crying sadly, and when he saw him, he burst into tears, "Second brother, my uncle is dead——"

Zhou Yilang's expression was unbelievable, and the villagers were also in a daze. How could a person who was fine yesterday morning become like this in just one day?

Zhou Hu who followed shook his hands and said, "Erlang and the others are useless, let's take Uncle Yin and Aunt back first."

Only then did the villagers come to their senses, and rushed forward to carry them. Zhou Yilang and Zhou Zhoulang followed behind and carried them back to the village.

Just after entering the village, it rained heavily.

Seeing Zhou Yin and Xia Xin being carried into the house, Mrs. Qian was shocked and passed out directly.

When she woke up, she still felt that she was dreaming, but when she heard the crying from the main room, she knew it was not a dream.

She supported herself and went out, Xiaoqian and others were kneeling on the ground crying, Zhou Yin and Xia Xin were lying on the mat, their bodies were still bloody, obviously everyone didn't react much.

Qian asked with trembling lips, "Where's Zhou Jin?"

Zhou Zhoulang wiped his tears and said: "Father and the village chief went to beg Master Bai, there must be bandits in our county, father went to beg Master Bai to go to the county government to ask the county magistrate to send someone to destroy the bandits and avenge my uncle."

Zhou Yin went to the county town to get the belongings consigned back, but now the husband and wife died suddenly, and the belongings and the donkey cart they brought were nowhere to be found, so they must have been robbed.

The villagers in Qili Village all believed that Zhou Yin was killed by bandits, but they didn't know when there were such vicious people in their area. If they had known...

Zhou Zhoulang wiped away his tears and said, "I knew we should have gone with my uncle yesterday morning. There were so many people there, those bandits would not dare to rob my uncle."

Master Bai didn't expect such a bad thing to happen in Luojiang County, so he came to Lao Zhou's house to take a look at Zhou Yin and Xia Xin, and said straight away, "I'll follow you into the city when the rain stops."

There are bandits in Luojiang County, can they go out with peace of mind in the future?

But before the rain stopped, people from the government came into the village on horseback, looking for someone with portraits in their hands.

Because Master Bai's house is the largest, and it looks like the leader at first glance, and when officials are looking for someone to do business, they always look for such a person first.

So they went directly to the White House first.

Master Bai couldn't help but twitched when he saw Zhou Yin in the portrait, and took the portrait calmly and asked, "Who is the person in this portrait?"

"He is an important criminal wanted by the court. Has Master Bai ever seen him?"

Master Bai's thoughts turned, and finally he shook his head, and calmly glanced at the housekeeper next to him, and said, "I've never seen it before."

He smiled and said: "Since I lived in seclusion in Qili Village, I seldom go out. This person doesn't look like a person from Qili Village. I don't know many people outside. Why don't we invite Li Zheng and the village chief to ask questions? They I'm sure I'll know more about this area."

The official errand should be sent down.

Master Bai nodded slightly to the housekeeper.

The butler hurried to find someone.

The village chief and Zhou Jin are preparing to go to the county government to file a complaint. Zhou Jin took out all the money from his family. Not only does he need to pay for official errands, but he also has to buy them two good coffins...

Butler Bai trotted over, pulled them aside and said in a low voice, "Where are the bodies of Zhou Yin and his wife?"

He said: "An official came and said that Zhou Yin was a wanted criminal, he seemed to be a bandit. Our master and the official said they hadn't seen it, but they will definitely come to the village to inquire in a while."

Zhou Jin was startled, and lost his voice: "Impossible, how could my second child be a bandit?"

Zhou Jin stopped the village chief and was about to sue for justice.

The butler stopped them and said: "My master also thought it was impossible, so he concealed it for you, but the officials are very sure, the master sees that there is something wrong with their situation, you should hide them first, and then go to find out the truth after dealing with them. "

The village chief also felt something was wrong, so he grabbed Zhou Jin and said, "Uncle Jin, Uncle Xiao Yin has been in Shangzhou before, not to mention that he can't be a bandit, even if he did, it should be the officials from Shangzhou who arrested him. As soon as he came back, the officials here arrested him? Little Uncle Yin must have been wronged, and seek justice from the person who wronged him, can this grievance be redressed?"

"That, that..."

The village head said: "Get the people in the village first, and deal with the officials."

The village chief and Zhou Jin called for all their sons, as well as the young people who were staying in the courtyard of the old Zhou's house at this time, and asked them to inform all the people in the village after some instructions.

The village chief took Zhou Jin to the Baifu to meet the officials. When he saw Zhou Yin, who was seven to eighty percent like on the portrait, he lowered his eyes and said, "I haven't seen it before. He's not from our village."

The official squinted his eyes and looked at them, "I really haven't seen them before?"

They went down the cliff yesterday to search for Erji's body, but they couldn't find it, so they wasted all night. Today they went up the mountain to look for the body, but they couldn't find it.

It rained heavily again today, and the traces on the mountain were washed away. It is not known whether the corpse was dragged away by wild animals or taken away by people.

"No," the village chief said timidly but firmly, "this person is not from our Qili Village at first glance, and our Qili Village is remote, and no outsiders come in."

The officer pondered, "We're going to search the village."

The village chief immediately said: "Our village has a roster. If you don't believe me, I can ask all the men in the village to come and check it. If it's a house, it only rained. The countryside like ours is very dirty. I'm afraid it will pollute your lord." feet."

Li Zheng also rushed over, seeing the person in the portrait, his heart skipped a beat. He had never seen the young Zhou Yin, but he was no stranger to the young Zhou Yin.

Moreover, he had heard people say the day before yesterday that Zhou Yin, who sold himself as a slave in Qili Village, seemed to have returned to his hometown to visit his relatives.

He is Li Zheng, the most well-informed person within a mile.

Li Zheng swallowed his saliva. Although he only listened to the second half, he knew what happened. He took a look at Master Bai's face, and could only follow their words, "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and get rid of the old man in the village?" Are all the men called to the entrance of the village?"

He said: "Don't use the young ones to pollute the eyes of the adults. Call everyone over the age of sixteen."

The official added coldly: "It's twelve years old."

"Yes, yes," Li Zheng turned his head and scolded the village head and Zhou Jin who bowed their heads, "Did you hear that, you are twelve years old, why don't you go find someone?"

The officer stretched out his hand, "Where's the roster?"

Before Lizheng came, he took his things with him, quickly took out the booklet in his arms, turned to the page of Qili Village, and said: "Look at the back, there are their dates of birth."

The villagers gathered at the entrance of the village silently. At this time, the rain started to fall again, and the boys over twelve years old stood in a row at the entrance of the village.

When they stood still in front, the women who stayed at home quietly gathered at Lao Zhou's house.

An old woman stretched out her hand to support Qian Shi who was about to faint again and said, "You can't stay at home. Once the officials can't find anyone in front, start searching and it will be over."

"Bury it."

Qian's eyes were full of confusion, "Where can I find a coffin right now?"

"Even if you find it, there's no time to bury it. Let's keep everything simple."

Suppressing her grief, Qian asked her daughters-in-law to bring the quilt brought back by Zhou Yin, and carried Zhou Yin and Xia Xin, who held hands tightly together, into the quilt and wrapped them up, and then wrapped the quilt with oilcloth...

The women silently carried out the tarpaulin that wrapped the two of them, carried them to the field, and dug up a piece of land next to Zhou Jin's parents.

They were buried silently in the rain.

Nannan woke up, opened her eyes and looked around, but she still didn't see anyone she was familiar with, so she couldn't help but pursed her mouth and began to cry.

Xiaoqian hurriedly hugged her in her arms and coaxed her, suppressing her grief and said: "Good boy, don't cry, sister-in-law will change your clothes for you."

Little Qian took off the soft clothes on her body and put Erya's old clothes on her, and hid all the things they brought back in the kitchen.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the faces of the villagers standing in the rain turned pale, but the officials didn't suspect it.

It's really cold in the rain at the moment, they checked the list one by one...

Zhou Zhou Lang's face was the palest, and his hands and feet were trembling a little. He had just changed out of his bloody clothes, and his daughter had just been hidden in the bed, and she was sleeping soundly at this moment. I don't know if she woke up and couldn't see anyone. cry……

The official frowned and asked, "Did anyone come in from the village recently?"

The village chief replied firmly: "No."

The official took a look at his colleagues and decided to go to the village to check.

Just a quick look, there are only women and children at home in each family, indeed there are no outsiders, the official sent away frowning, and said to Li Zheng: "Once you find the person in the portrait, report it to the government immediately."

Lizheng should be right again and again.

It was only when the officer left that Li Zheng realized what he had done. He turned his head and gave the village head and Zhou Jin a sneaky look, then looked at Master Bai in a fawning manner, "Master Bai, this matter..."

Master Bai turned and left, "This matter has nothing to do with me, I just pretend that I don't know anything, but if something happens one day, you have to prepare for the possibility of being linked."

Lizheng and the village head Zhou Jin nodded and bowed to send Master Bai away. Zhou Jin turned his head to meet Lizheng's gaze, then glanced at the young and old who were still looking at him in the rain, gritted his teeth, turned around and knelt down before the whole village, "Followers Ladies and gentlemen, this time it is our old Zhou family who has troubled everyone, but please see that Zhou Yin saved everyone's life, and save his daughter as well. Everyone knows the character of our little Yin. It's impossible to be a bandit."

Zhou Dalang and his younger brothers knelt down together and silently kowtowed.

The village chief sighed and said, "I told the officials that way before, and it's impossible to go back on this matter. Let's just pretend that there is no such person in the village. Li Zheng, what do you think?"

Li Zheng snorted coldly, flung his sleeves and left: "What did I say? I don't know anything."

Once he left, the rest was Qili Village's own business.

The villagers were also panicked, but it was impossible to get them to confess Zhou Yin. This was not only a matter of the dead, but they still had a child left.

Once Zhou Yin was confessed, not to mention the fate of Zhou Jin's family, their daughter would definitely not be well.

"What about the child?" Someone asked, "What if someone finds out about the child's existence..."

Zhou Jin hurriedly said: "The child was born to me and Mrs. Qian, they, they..."

He gritted his teeth and said, "It's just as if they never came back, and everyone doesn't know about it. My Zhou Yin sold himself and left. After so many years, everyone has forgotten what he looks like..."

The villagers looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally agreed.

At Old Zhou's house, the daughter who had changed her clothes was crying sadly, and Xiaoqian couldn't help crying along with her. Once she cried, the daughter stopped crying. Tears were still hanging on her face, but she looked at Xiaoqian curiously. , do not understand why she cried.

Zhou Jin returned to the old Zhou's house covered in water. Qian's face was pale, but he just endured the pain and asked Feng to boil water for everyone to drink.

The faces of the couple were horrific, the village chief stopped Zhou Dalang and said, "I see that your parents' faces are not good, you brothers, be careful, don't let anything happen at this juncture."

Zhou Dalang agrees.

The village chief sighed and said, "Your uncle was raised by them as a son. They are the ones who are most saddened when something like this happens, but you have to tell them that there is another child in this family."

Zhou Dalang regained his energy, nodded and went to find his parents, whispering: "Father, mother, my daughter is still at home."

Only then did Zhou Jin and Qian's expressions change, and they insisted on looking for the child.

The little girl who is only half a year old doesn't know anything, and she is eating the egg custard made by Mrs. Qian in the house at this time. She cried too much today and is a little hungry.

Seeing so many people rushing into the room at once, she was a little timid for the first time, so she turned around and hid in Xiaoqian's arms.

Zhou Jin looked at her, and said after a while: "From now on, she will be your younger sister, your own younger sister, and she will be ranked with you, eighth, so she will be called... Zhou Man."

Good night
