The scene was chaotic for a while, and Aaron and Xu Qing quarreled.

"You slut..." Before Aaron could finish his words, he was slapped by Li Erlang with lightning speed, which made Aaron a little confused. He vaguely remembered that he had also been slapped not long ago.

Li Erlang twisted the ink stains on his hands and cursed: "Speak as you say, no need for foul language!" After the beating, he knelt on the ground and said, "Master Cha, the matter of stealing food today is clear. What they did. I don’t dare to make any assumptions. I just ask Mr. Chai to let me explain. We don’t believe what this thief said!!"

Li Aniang also knelt down and cried: "I believe in my daughter-in-law's character. Mr. Chai should ask the people in the village if they have ever seen my daughter-in-law say a word to her husband? He is trying to force me and my daughter-in-law to death." !!”

The people outside the door lit up the flames of gossip. They waited until they finished the gossip to judge the case. They stared at the movement in the courtyard and heard Li Aniang shouting in tears. Thinking about Xu Qing's past, they found that they wanted to I wonder when was the last time she appeared in front of everyone.

Xu Qing really rarely went out, so much so that they almost forgot about this person, and it was impossible to see her talking to her foreign husband.

Aaron watched as the advantage and right to speak gradually shifted to the Li family, and the situation became unfavorable to him. He desperately wanted the official to believe his words, and was forced to reveal more information: "I have seen her adulterer. He looks like a man!! The man has a strong build, short hair, a full beard, and very strange clothes, like a foreigner!!"

As soon as his words came out, anyone with a discerning eye thought he was talking nonsense, and Muramasa on the other side couldn't stand it anymore. "Master Cha, this person's words are not trustworthy. There have indeed been cases of soldiers escaping back to the village in our village, but no foreigners have been found to have fled here. Except for the bandits who fled into the mountains, not a single deserted soldier can hide in the village to evade capture. , let alone a very conspicuous foreigner? He must not hide from others and hide in the village!!"

There were indeed deserters in the village, but the villagers were afraid of being implicated and no one dared to let the deserters hide in the village, so the deserters hid in the mountains and did not dare to go down the mountains easily.

When Aaron saw that no one believed what he said, he continued to argue loudly: "What I said is true!! That person rushed out of that blue brick house and injured us!! Please send someone to look at it, sir!" Look!! You will definitely find the traces left by that person!!" He struggled towards the blue brick study, trying his best to prove himself.

The officer had a headache. Everyone was focusing on this matter. It was about the absconding foreigners. He had to be cautious and ordered the officer to go in and check.

"Ah Weng of the Li family, tell me, what is the use of this house?"

Although Li Aweng stood aside silently from the beginning, he knew in his heart that his grandson's daughter-in-law must have been slandered.

When asked by Mr. Cha, he answered truthfully: "Go back to Mr. Cha, this room is the study room at home. Both the son and daughter of the family have attended elementary school. My Sanlang is currently studying in the county and will take the county exam next year. Most of the students in the study are Sanlang. Use it when studying."

The servant nodded. No wonder the other houses in this family were all mud houses, but this one was a blue brick house made of excellent materials. Since it is a study room, there is nothing wrong with using such materials.

The servants walked around the study room and quickly came out: "Boss, there are no traces on the doors, windows and beams of the study room!"

Another person reported back: "Boss, there are no traces under the window or on the wall outside the study."

Aaron looked in disbelief and shouted: "Impossible!! You must not have seen it clearly!!"

Several servants looked at Aaron with disdain, and even believed that he was talking nonsense.

Li Erlang no longer paid attention to what they were arguing about. When he heard Aaron say that a man rushed out of the study, he had only one thought in his mind: it was the immortal who saved his sister-in-law!

Ji Qingyue, who was at the center of public opinion at this time, immediately felt a sudden dizziness after jumping into the painting. He didn't know what happened next.

When he opened his eyes again, Ji Qingyue was startled by the sight in front of him: in front of him was an upside-down landscape, with the top of the mountain facing him, as if it would fall down and impale him in the next moment!

He couldn't help but tremble with fear.

When his mind gradually cleared up, he realized that it was not the mountains and rivers in the sky, but that he was hanging in the sky, looking down at the mountains and rivers below him.

Ji Qingyue blinked, turned his head and looked around, and was startled again: At this time, he was lying in a pool of dark viscous liquid. When he raised his hand, he felt a huge suction, so he didn't fall.

How is this going?

He took a closer look and understood when he saw the thatched cottage underneath. At this time, he was still in the painting, but somehow he was suspended in the sky.

The weirdest thing is that the sky is a puddle of ink.

Is this his punishment for forcing his way out?

Ji Qingyue quickly noticed something strange about him and determined that he was now upside down in the air. He also discovered that he was probably no longer a "person" in the traditional sense.

Because he saw droplets of ink dripping from his body like drops of sweat. As the ink droplets dripped, a dull pain of flesh peeling off kept hitting his whole body.

The pain made his whole body numb.

He could endure the pain, but he couldn't endure it forever.

This was his punishment for storming the barrier to escape his predicament.

Soon, Ji Qing became more and more painful and fainted again.

At the same time, there was still chaos outside the painting, and Aaron didn't seem to give up. He was forced to have red eyes, like a hungry wolf staring at a lamb, staring closely at Xu Qing, as if he was trying to think of a way to drag her into the abyss.

Li Erlang was still kneeling. After noticing Aaron's gloomy eyes, he was worried that he was talking nonsense again.

Li Sanlang on the side took a step forward and saluted the officer: "Master Cha, this person is full of nonsense and is already crazy. Today he slanders the innocence of the eldest sister-in-law in the family, and tomorrow he can arrange for other girls! Even if he reveals the place where the grain is hidden, , I don’t think it’s credible either! Chao! It’s not that I’m trying to figure it out with malice, it’s that he is already barking! His heart is sinister!!”

The leading police officer watched indifferently, and some of the onlookers outside the door even climbed up the wall of Li's house. It was obvious that the villagers were wavering.

Aaron glared at Li Sanlang in front of him.

Li Sanlang stood with his head held high, standing among the chickens like a crane, neither proud nor afraid.

He ignored Aaron's vicious eyes and looked down: "You are making up rumors for no reason and trying to harm your elder sister-in-law. I can't let the rumors spread!"

Li Sanlang sneered, glanced at Aaron, then turned around, bowed to Xu Qing with a straight expression: "Sanlang's future is not as good as his elder sister-in-law's character, so it is not worthy to mention it." Li Sanlang straightened up and faced The police officer and all the villagers raised their voices: "Everyone knows the virtue of my elder sister-in-law, but she really bullied others too much! My father and elder brother who bullied me have left home to guard the border. If I, Li Changfu, go to the temple in the future, I will go to the temple." But whether it’s the officials or the family members, everyone can feel aggrieved by the injustice suffered by the eldest sister-in-law today, let’s see who will listen and believe in it!!”

The onlookers couldn't help but be moved and spoke in support: "Fu Lang, no need to say more, I can trust you!"

"Yes, you don't have to compete with your future. In fact, we all know that Qing Niang is a good girl who is virtuous and knows etiquette!" Others followed suit.

Li Sanlang choked with sobs: "The future is not as good as the lives and innocence of his family!" Then he bowed to the villagers: "I'm really sorry for delaying everyone's investigation of the case!"

The officer also watched the excitement and said: "Take the three people back to the county government office and hand them over to the county magistrate for interrogation. If they still slander the girl and refuse to explain the whereabouts of the food, torture instruments will be waiting for you!!"

Aaron knew that the situation was over and Li Sanlang had taken the first opportunity. It was useless to talk any more, so he had to beg for mercy and save his life: "Master! I'll do it! I'll tell you where the food is hidden! But I really don't know." Where did Masan go?! Mr. Cha, can you spare my life?"

"If what you say is true, I will definitely plead with the county captain to spare your life!"

The servants took away Aaron and two other people who were still unconscious. Everyone followed the servants to find the hiding place where Aaron confessed, leaving only a few shocked Li family members.

Xu Qing helped Li Aniang up, and her tense nerves finally relaxed. Seeing Li Erlang and Li Sanlang's eyes full of worry, she smiled and comforted the brothers with her smile.

Aunt Li was finally able to breathe heavily. She was too scared to say a word just now, so she could only whisper "God bless you" in a low voice. After the guards led the people away, she let out a long sigh: "I was scared to death..."

Before Li Aniang had time to relax, she looked at the sun. It was almost the auspicious time to get married. She quickly urged Li Sanlang: "Quickly change your clothes and go to your aunt's house. You are the one who stopped her by name!"

Only then did everyone remember that there was a wedding banquet today, and Li Erlang didn't want to join in the fun: "Auntie, you go ahead, I won't go. Auntie will go back to rest later, and I will clean up the yard."

The people had dispersed, but there was still a mess waiting to be cleaned up in the Li family's yard.

Seeing this, Li Aniang didn't force Li Erlang to join in the fun of the wedding banquet. After experiencing this, she herself had lost her excitement and enthusiasm in the morning. She just wanted to finish the wedding banquet and come back early to rest.

After his family members left, Li Erlang quietly sneaked into the study and called Ji Qingyue in a low voice, but after waiting for a long time, no one in the painting answered.

Li Erlang was completely panicked.

He never doubted Aaron's words from beginning to end. Instead, he felt that Aaron was telling the truth. Someone suddenly appeared, rescued his sister-in-law and injured the robber.

Regardless of where those ink stains came from, he was certain that the water stains on the ground were caused by his sister-in-law.

It seems that my sister-in-law already knew about the immortal. The immortal should have returned to the painting, but why didn't he respond?

After thinking about it, he decided to go find his sister-in-law, so he knocked on her door.

Autumn turns to winter, and the days pass by day by day. Without waiting for the rain after autumn, the first snow of winter will soon come.

The days were as peaceful as usual. It had been ten days since the chaos. Li Sanlang officially ended his holiday and took his winter clothes with him to study in the county. Li Erlang watched his younger brother drive away in the car and looked back at the goose feathers floating down from the sky. Heavy snow.

Parting is always more likely to trigger melancholy in people's hearts. There is an unknown person in the painting who is now missing.

After the snowfall, everything is covered in silver, which indicates that the farm work of the past year has officially come to an end.

Li Aweng came back with a drink in a happy mood and had a few sips while eating later. When he entered, he saw Li Erlang standing under the eaves, looking a little melancholy.

"Erlang, come and have a few drinks with Aweng!"

Li Erlang was pulled and pulled by Li Aweng. As soon as he entered the house, he was pushed and sat on the kang. There was a small stove for boiling water next to him, which Li Aweng now used to warm wine.

Li Aweng poured wine for himself and his grandson: "This snow is so wonderful. There is enough water for the wheat to survive the winter. There will definitely be a good harvest next year!"

Li Erlang said while taking a sip: "Nowadays, prices in the county have somewhat declined, but compared to this time before, they have still increased."

Speaking of this, Li Aweng had no choice but to say with a little bit of joy: "Corn costs eighteen cents, and silk costs two hundred and twenty, but it has fallen back. It should have increased again a year ago. The previous price increase came out of nowhere, what kind of disaster could have happened?"

"No matter what the disaster is, I hope it will be later..." I hope that after they harvest the wheat and have more food, of course, it will be the best if they can continue to be safe and the whole family is safe and sound.

Snowflakes were flying outside, and the curtain at the door was lowered, and the heated kang room was warm. The grandfather and grandson drank one cup after another. "Did Zhenniang say when she would be back? Ever since she got married, Jinniang is the only girl left in the house. She feels so lonely."

Li Zhenniang is Li Erlang's elder sister. She is two years older than him and is also very independent. Although he is obviously younger than Li Dalang, he sometimes seems more stable than him.

At that time, Li Zhenniang was the first to discover that Li Dalang had left Xujia Village. Based on the news she heard in the village, she immediately came up with the idea to take Li Erlang with her to help Li Dalang hide it and delay Li Aniang's discovery.

However, when the matter was finalized, after Li Aniang returned from Xujia Village, she and Li Erlang were punished by Li Aniang to pick manure. The excrement bucket was big and heavy, and the smell was very strong. The two children were afraid and did not dare to admit their mistake. They continued to pick the excrement for a month, which made Li Aniang faint. Several children were so frightened that they cried and shouted. I don’t dare to make grandma angry anymore. Later, when I checked, I found out that Aniang Li was pregnant. I was surprised and happy, and the children became much better behaved.

When I think of this, it seems like it was yesterday. Compared with Li Aniang, Li Erlang and Li Dalang and Li Zhenniang have been getting along longer and their relationship is stronger.

Li Zhenniang got married after the autumn harvest last year. She married into a farmer's family in a village near the county seat. It took a day or two to go back to her parents' home. On the day the eldest sister got married, Li Erlang burst into tears and pulled Li Zhenniang and refused to let go.

Recalling the situation at that time, Li Erlang couldn't help laughing: "Sister said in the letter that she will be back in a few days."

Li Aweng was so happy that he took another sip of wine: "Okay, okay!"
