accomplice

The heart mentioned to the throat.

Zuo Ji was afraid that Bangzi would tell the truth.

Just listening, suddenly a child said: "How can you come in my aunt's new house?"

"New house?" Mo Jia frowned.

"Hey." Clapper nodded, and finally shook his head again, explaining: "But it's not this side, it's that side. I'm getting married soon, so I tidy up the big room next to it and plan to use it as a new house in a few days. God, I'm sleeping here."

Seeing that there were two pillows on the bed, Mo Jia was dubious and walked out.

In the end, wanting to check the room opposite, he glanced at the number of bowls and chopsticks on the dining table in the house, frowned slightly, said nothing, turned to go out, and left.

As soon as Mo Jia left, the people who brought him also withdrew.

Soon, there was a child by the window in the house and said softly, "Sister, sister."

Zuo Ji frowned upon hearing this.

Out of curiosity, he poked his head cautiously, seeing a pair of small hands pulling on the window, he couldn't help but feel even more strange.

With slick eyes, he got up and looked closer, only to see a six or seven-year-old child whispering at the edge of the window: "Sister."

Zuo Ji looked around the house, but there was no one there.

He stood up and said to the child, "Call me brother."

"elder sister."

Serious frustration.

He emphasized: "It's my brother."

The child is happy.

There are no front teeth in the smiling little mouth, he is mischievous: "I just want to call you sister..."

"Skin!"

Zuo Ji flicked his small forehead, and jumped out of the window into the room while he moved away to touch his forehead.

Someone came to search the village for no reason, needless to say, Bangzi must have noticed something wrong here.

But how to explain it.

Just as he was distressed, Bangzi came in suddenly, and as soon as he saw them, he said, "It's time to eat, it's time to eat."

When the child heard it, he ran away immediately.

Li Xi and Zuo Ji looked at each other with Bangzi's attitude as if nothing had happened.

The two of them exchanged glances, followed the clapper and went out, sat around the table, Li Xi said: "Just now..."

"It's okay." Bangzi said bluntly, "I know you are good people."

"But they are not good people." Zuo Ji was a little worried, and said, "We will implicate you here, so we will..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a lot of movement outside.

Zuo Ji's words were interrupted, only Bangzi sighed and complained: "It's arguing again."

Clapper put down the bowl and chopsticks and went out.

It sounded like women were arguing, Zuo Ji was very curious and followed.

It turned out that it was a family diagonally opposite the door who had a quarrel, and the sky was turned upside down.

It was a war of words between daughter-in-law and mother-in-law.

You talk to each other, very sturdy, you come and go, even kicked the bench over.

Not long after, a girl also joined in the quarrel.

On the contrary, it was the man of their family, a young and strong man squatting beside him helplessly, helpless.

The child Zuo Ji had seen before was frightened and sat on the ground crying loudly.

Zuo Ji folded his arms around his chest and looked there for a long time.

At the end, he asked Bangzi: "They are arguing with them, why are you out to join in the fun?"

Bangzi was very depressed, and pointed to the girl: "Isn't it because I'm afraid that my wife Mao Chun will fight with her sister-in-law?"

"Your wife?"

As soon as he heard that she was the daughter-in-law of Bangzi, Zuo Ji became energetic.

Look around.

Well, it looks good.

But this voice, this posture, is too powerful.

"I said..." Zuo Ji wanted to ask Bangzi how he would live in the future after marrying such a tough woman.

But when he saw the child, he was crying so hard that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked over and took the child away.

Zuo Ji coaxed the child back into the Bangzi room.

Sitting there, Li Xi watched him carry the child back, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, just quarrel over some trivial matters at home."

Zuo Ji sat beside him, comforted the child, and coaxed him not to cry. Seeing that he liked the child so much, Li Xi smiled softly.

Soon, Mao Chun followed Bangzi in.

Mao Chun looked at the child in Zuo Ji's arms, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "I made you laugh just now."

Bangzi took out the bowls and chopsticks, filled them with rice, and put them on the table in front of Mao Chun: "Eat at my place today."

Mao Chuntian smiled at him, and at the end, he walked over and extended his hand to Zuo Ji.

The child has stopped crying.

He also refused to let Mao Chun hold him, the child slipped from Zuo Ji's arms by himself, ignored her, and ran out.

Mao Chun was a little embarrassed.

Zuo Ji felt nothing, and said to her, "Sit."

Mao Chun nodded.

She sat down at the table, just picked up the bowls and chopsticks, when she heard the noise from outside, she couldn't help but startled slightly.

Li Xi's face changed when he heard the voice.

Clapper heard the sound and went out again.

Li Xi winked at Zuo Ji, and the two stood up and retreated to the room in a tacit understanding.

Still jumping out of the window, squatting to hide at the base of the wall, Zuo Ji carefully sneaked to the edge of the wall to look out, and saw Mo Jia and a man who looked like a small leader each riding a horse, led the team, and came back again.

People in the village were afraid of trouble, and they all ran away anxiously.

When Bangzi came out and saw him, he said, "Oh, it's you again, why are you back?"

Mo Jia ignored him, but said loudly, "Aren't you going to come out to see me?"

He knew they were hiding here? !

Zuo Ji was secretly startled, fearing that he would harm Bangzi, and wanted to go out, but was held down by Li Xi.

Li Xi winked: he might be fooled.

This is not impossible.

Maybe I just didn't want to continue chasing it any longer, so I turned back and passed by here, and tried my luck again.

Bangzi was amused when he heard Mo Jia's shout.

"Who are you talking about? We really have never been here before."

When Mo Jia heard this, he looked down at Bangzi, a cold smile spread from the corners of his lips, and the dim light in his eyes surprised Zuo Ji.

wrong!

Mo Jia was sure they were here with Bangzi!

Don't let him hurt the people here!

"Run away!" Zuo Ji whispered to Li Xi and ran out.

Li Xi was startled, and wanted to catch him, but it was too late.

Zuo Ji ran directly in front of Mo Jia and pulled the clapper away. Mo Jia was condescending, and when he saw him, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He got off the horse and walked to Zuo Ji: "What about him?"

"Which him?" Zuo Ji glanced at him coldly: "You think I can't escape with my own abilities, right?"

Hearing what Zuo Ji said, he smiled.

He moved close to Zuo Ji's ear and whispered, "If you mount the horse now, I guarantee that Li Xi will not die."

Zuo Ji was startled.

Glaring at him bitterly, Zuo Ji consciously walked towards Mo Jia's mount.

A person came out of the team, put his palms on his knees and used his strength to send Zuo Ji onto the horse's back.

After getting on the horse, Zuo Ji said to Mo Jia, "What are you waiting for?"

Mo Jia smiled lightly, and immediately came over and got on the horse.

He held Zuo Ji steady with one hand, pulled the rein with the other, the horse stamped its hooves, and turned around slowly, Zuo Ji glanced at the corner of the room, smiled apologetically at Bang Zi who was standing beside him anxiously, and said, "I'm sorry to bother you. "

The other party is strong and strong, and Bangzi can't help him. Hearing what he said, he had no choice but to nod violently.

Mo Jia and his party left the village in a mighty manner.

Fearing that he might fall, Mo Jia started to slow down the pace of the team after walking not far, and kept tightening his arms all the way slowly.

Zuo Ji was so angry that he was speechless all the way.

The group of people did not know how long they walked.

When he came to the side of the mountain road, Zuo Ji accidentally caught a glimpse of a village in the distance emitting white smoke.

Zuo Ji's heart couldn't help but tense up when he vaguely saw the flames rising up.

what happened?

With a bad premonition in his heart, he struggled to get off his horse and ran to look.

Not sure if the fire started in the direction of Bangzi Village, he wanted to ask Mo Jia, but when he turned his head, he realized that the little leader who entered the village with Mo Jia was gone, and the number of people following behind was less than one-third of what he saw before. .

"What did you do?" Zuo Ji was suddenly panicked.

"What did I do?" Mo Jia also dismounted, and approached, "I've been with you all this time, so what did I do?"

Zuo Ji rushed in front of him and grabbed his skirt: "Don't tell me that you plan to slaughter the village?"

"It's not intended..." Mo Jia looked in the direction of the village: "They're already doing it."

Zuo Ji couldn't believe it, he pushed Mo Jia away and ran back, but was pulled back by Mo Jia in three steps and one hand, and pushed him down on the mountain road.

"What's the use of you going back now? Do you have the ability to stop all this? Think about what's all over the village now, dead bodies! Do you really want to go back and see such a scene?"

"Why are you doing this? Didn't I obediently follow you? Why are you refusing to give them a way out? Why?!"

Zuo Ji ran away and yelled at Mo Jia. Seeing how hysterical he was, Mo Jia realized that he had talked too much just now.

"Maybe I should let you go back and have a look."

Zuo Ji was startled.

"Because that was meant to be killed for you to see."

Mo Jia bent down, leaned closer, and stared at him: "Your Highness said, if anyone who shelters is killed, he will be killed in front of you. This is a lesson for you. He wants you to watch carefully and run away from him every time. price."

The... cost of escaping? !

In my mind are the mischievous smile when the child called sister and the firm belief when Bangzi said that they are good people.

These people are innocent.

"What do you regard human life as..."

He couldn't accept it, and got up staggeringly. Mo Jia reached out to help him, but was pushed away.

Seeing that Mo Jia reached out to him again, he staggered back a few steps, and suddenly stepped on the ground without thinking.

The center of gravity moves down instantly.

He was heartbroken and fell back.

Surprised that his life ended hastily again, but what shocked him even more was that Mo Jia jumped down without hesitation.

Mo Jia tried her best to keep up with the speed of his fall, grabbed him with one hand, and threw out the Hidden Blade with a leather strap with the other hand to stab the old tree on the mountain wall, trying to cling to him.

Unexpectedly, the combined weight of the two was too heavy, and the inertia of the fall was too great, the tree broke, and they fell into the darkness together...
