The beauty of the peasant girl of crossing

Chapter 267 Haunted
Xiao Tianmo stretched out his arms and hugged her all into his arms, looking down at her deeply, "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?"

Shen Furong smiled slightly. She said that it was true that she was not tired. Now they don't have to worry so much for the time being at least. When they return to Beijing, they will be even more tired.

At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped the horse, which was equivalent to a sudden brake, and Shen Furong and Xiao Tianmo, who were hugging together, immediately leaned back to the carriage.

"What happened?"

While rubbing her forehead on Xiao Tianmo's chin, Shen Furong got up from Xiao Tianmo's arms. She didn't expect that the brakes of this carriage would have such great inertia.

Stone replied from outside: "Master, the situation ahead is not right, someone blocked the road."

Shen Furong lifted the curtain and glanced out, and was immediately startled.

I saw a Taoist-looking person hanging high on an old tree in front of the left.

The man was still hanging upside down in mid-air, swaying like a pendulum.

The ground below him was crowded with people. This group of people was noisy and noisy, but it happened to be blocking their way.

"Oh! There's a man hanging from a tree!"

Shen Furong frowned just now, and October, who was waiting by the door, screamed in horror.

Xiao Tianmo also saw the situation outside the carriage, so he comforted Shen Furong and said, "Don't be afraid, you stay in the carriage, I'll go down and have a look."

"No, I'll go with you." Shen Furong thought for a while and said.

Xiao Tianmo originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Shen Furong's firm eyes, he agreed.

The two got off the carriage one after another and walked towards the source of the excitement. Shitou, Li Yeyu and Yueyue followed behind them, watching both sides vigilantly.

Walking forward, I saw a black and strong man with a medium stature standing at the head with a gray scarf on his head.

At his feet, there was a female corpse wrapped in a straw mat.

Looking closely, the straw mat was very worn, revealing a few strands of messy knotted long hair and the red corners of the corpse, which made people a little shocked.

Beside the female corpse, four villagers danced with hoes, digging a square pit to bury people.

There were also more than a dozen villagers of men and women, besieged at the intersection, watching the fun with their fingers.

"Ho, you stinky Taoist priest, dare to deceive me again and again, I have to make you look good today!"

The leading man pointed at the Taoist priest whose feet were tied to the tree, and said angrily, "I tell you, Cuizhu is dead, I want you to bury her with her!"

"Humph," the Taoist said coldly, "Xiu is talking nonsense here, splashing Xiaodao all over dirty, it's clear that you don't listen to dissuasion, and you are insatiable, and that's why Cuizhu's life is killed."

"You bullshit!"

The man looked left and right with a guilty conscience, then made a righteous statement, and shouted:

"The little girl Cuizhu kindly saved your life, and even took you in, and gave you a good meal and a good stay. It's already a great grace. How can you incite her to run away from home?"

The Taoist priest struggled to raise his head, with a delicate face, but the deep scars on his eyes spoiled the overall beauty.

At this moment, his face was full of disdain, and the corners of his lips were raised, and he pulled out a broken but extremely mocking smile:

"Instigating? Hahaha... If you hadn't listened to that unscrupulous continuation, for the dowry of 30 taels of silver, besides abusing you and forcing Cuizhu to marry a fool, how could I have persuaded her to leave the village to find another way of life?

Cuizhu is kind and filial, and she is not willing to leave without saying goodbye. She wants to have a good life with you, but you take the opportunity to detain her and tell her that if she does not agree to marry her, they will frame her for running away with someone and bring her down. Pig cage.

If you hadn't persecuted her like this and said all the humiliating words, how could she not want to commit to He Mingzhi?

You people are blinded by money, and you will do anything for money. "

"Bah! Stop talking nonsense here!"

The man's eyes widened, and the expression on his face instantly became extremely hazy:

"It's shameless to say such a thing! Since ancient times, the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, although the Liu family boy is a fool, but his family is also well-off, how can Cuizhu lose money when she gets married?

I think you stinky Taoist has ulterior motives, how can Taoists teach you such a shameless thing! "

Some of the surrounding villagers knew a little bit, and the chatter in private started:
"Cuizhu is also pitiful. She was scolded by her stepmother since she was a child, and she finally grew up next to each other, but she was forced to marry a fool."

"Yeah, pity her biological mother passed away early, and her biological father obeyed her stepmother's advice. Although there are younger brothers and sisters, they are all separated by a layer of belly. No one hurts and no one helps. It's really not easy."

"Hey! No matter how bad she was in the past, it's still better than losing her life now. When someone dies, there's nothing left..."

"It's no wonder Cui Zhu's father was so angry. The dowry given by the idiot of the Liu family wasn't just three melons, but a full 30 taels of silver!"

"Our family also has to save five or six years of labor. Now that Cuizhu is dead, their husband and wife will not be able to take advantage of it, but don't be anxious..."

……

Shen Furong stood in the crowd and listened so much, and probably understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Although the middle-aged man at the head, that is, Cuiyu's father, said it with certainty, it is not difficult to hear from his conversations with the Taoist priest and the surrounding people:
The deceased girl named Cuizhu was cowardly by nature. She was brutally abused by the scumbag since she was a child, and finally was forced to commit suicide because of her unbearable humiliation.

Moreover, although Cuizhu's father appeared to be distressed, the body of Cuizhu in front of him was only wrapped in a casual straw mat, and he didn't even buy a thin coffin, so the burial was very scrawled. A pit, and there are no funeral objects, it can be seen how perfunctory it is.

Shen Furong couldn't help frowning, she turned her head and was about to say something to Xiao Tianmo, but she saw his wide-eyed in shock, looking at the Taoist priest hanging from the tree, his mouth opened in shock, his face full of disbelief .

Seeing this, she also looked suspiciously at the Taoist priest and asked, "What, is there something wrong?"

From what the Taoist said just now, he could tell that the reason why he persuaded Cuizhu to leave the house was because he did not want to see Cuizhu being forced to marry a fool.

Although some people think that he shouldn't be involved in other people's housework, she thinks that if it were her, she would do the same, and she can't be indifferent to life.

It's just that Cuizhu chose to commit suicide, which is a little cowardly.

"this person……"

Xiao Tianmo retracted his gaze and turned to look at Shen Furong, "Rong'er, I know him!"

Xiao Tianmo wanted to save people, and Shen Furong naturally supported him.

Shi Shi clears the way in front, and protects Shen Furong and a few people walk forward, standing opposite Cui Zhu's father.

Xiao Tianmo slightly clasped his fists at Daddy Cuizhu and said:

"I just stood in the crowd, and I have heard some of your business. Even though there is something wrong with this Taoist priest, his starting point is for the sake of Ling Ai. It is a pity that Ling Ai died, but you tied him here and said In the end, it's just to express anger, let him go!"

Cuizhu's father raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and it was even more short and wrong, like a broom:

"Who are you? You want to come here to be a good person when you touch your lips every now and then? I tell you, if it wasn't for him, my daughter Cuizhu wouldn't have died. I'll have to kill him today!"
