Mu family's little lucky girl

Chapter 129 Going Down the Mountain
During lunch time, the villagers held bowls and discussed at the entrance of the village.

"I heard that this is a big case. Even the magistrate of the county has come to our Ping'an Village in person. I have lived for decades, and this is the first time I have seen such a big battle."

"Ping'an Village will become famous this time."

"Don't tell me, Ah Li looks at such a cute little girl, she can do it since she was a child, why is she so confused when she grows up?"

Someone said regretfully.

"Who said no, what a good little girl, if she does something wrong, she must kill someone."

Aunt Liu's face was serious, "Don't talk nonsense! Ah Li is not that kind of person."

"I think Xue Xiaozhao is deliberately framing Ah Li!"

A few women looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all sensible and didn't talk about this topic again.

A young man came over with a noodle bowl and asked, "Aunt Hua, did you hear a wolf howling this morning?"

Aunt Hua let out an "ouch", her face was terrified.

"I could hear it clearly. My scalp was numb with the screams. My God, I almost sent me away."

Aunt Hua thought of something, her face became serious again, she looked at the young and middle-aged man and said: "I heard that the county magistrate came to our village to find a guide to search the mountains, is it you?"

"Damn! Don't talk about it." The young and middle-aged man looked regretful, "The county magistrate paid two taels of silver to find some people to go up the mountain with them. Two taels of silver is a lot. It is enough for me to work hard for a year. At that time, I agreed , I thought that I have gone up the mountain once or twice, and it is not difficult to lead the way, but who would have thought that I heard a wolf howling suddenly."

"Then who dares to go again, no matter how much money you give, it's useless if you lose your life."

Mentioning this, the young and middle-aged man is both a pity and a blessing.

Aunt Hua also felt sorry for him, but also felt lucky.

"I don't know how many of those officers and soldiers can come out alive."

"A dozen or so have come out." Another aunt continued: "When I was breaking sticks in the field, I saw them holding each other, and they seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries. These people have all gone to Doctor Liu's house to heal their injuries. .”

Aunt Liu was frightened for a while, and the back of her neck aroused a sudden chill.

"It must have been bitten by wolves. They are really lucky, and they can escape from the mouth of wolves."

Another young woman interjected, "I don't know if the people who went in later were so lucky."

The news of Mu Li's "murder" soon reached Lin's ears, she stopped holding the needle, and the needle tip went through the cloth and stuck into the pulp of the index finger of her left hand.

Beads of blood gushed out instantly.

Lin hurriedly stuffed her fingers into her mouth.

Once the needle and thread are lost, I no longer have the mind to sew clothes.

Mrs. Zhang put down the scissors, looked at Mrs. Lin who looked anxious, and comforted her: "Sister Lin, don't worry, the government has its own way of handling cases, and it won't convict Ah Li based on just one person's words."

"Case handling is all about evidence."

After all, Mrs. Zhang is an eldest lady who has seen the world. In addition, Chen Liang had been the county magistrate in Xingzhou County for more than ten years. Under the influence of her ears and eyes, she more or less knew some inside ways, so she was not as nervous as Mrs. Lin .

Another reason is that County Magistrate Wu of Anling County and her husband Chen Liang used to be good friends. Her son Ah Heng would not sit idly by when such a big incident happened to Ah Li. At that time, Ah Heng would come forward However, County Magistrate Wu would also let Muli go for her husband's sake.

Therefore, Mrs. Zhang will not worry even more.

This is Xue Xiaozhao...

Mrs. Lin didn't know what Mrs. Zhang was thinking, nor did she know about Mrs. Zhang's relationship with County Magistrate Wu. Seeing her daughter being slandered, Mrs. Lin was so angry that she slapped her hand on the table, causing everything on the table to shake.

"Old Xue's family is too deceptive!"

"First, the Zhou family arranged for A Li everywhere, and now Xue Xiaozhao came to slander my family's A Li's innocence. Not only did she label her as a murderer, but she also insulted her woman's innocence. How can Ah Li hold his head up in Ping'an Village in the future?"

"How else can she get married?"

The more Lin thought about it, the more angry she became.

"No, I have to settle the score with Xue Tao!"

"This thing can't end like this!"

Mrs. Zhang quickly stopped the furious Mrs. Lin, and she persuaded her kindly: "Sister Lin, you are not in good health, and it is not easy to have too much emotional ups and downs, so please don't get excited."

Lin clutched her chest that had started to writhe again, her face turned slightly pale, and she was pulled to sit down by Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang poured another glass of water for Mrs. Lin, and said softly, "Don't worry, Ah Li will be fine. What you have to do now is to keep calm."

Mrs. Lin took the water that Mrs. Zhang handed her, and looked at Mrs. Zhang with red eyes, "I'm just a girl, and I usually don't want to be beaten or scolded, but now I'm being bullied like this, I can't be a mother. Seeking justice for her, I hate it in my heart."

"Sister Lin is thinking too much." Mrs. Zhang handed Mrs. Lin another handkerchief, looked at Mrs. Lin who was wiping her tears, and said, "A Li is a girl with her own opinions. Although she is kind, she is not at the mercy of others." The soft persimmon, Zhou Shi arranged for Ah Li behind his back a few days ago, don't you think she is still fighting with Zhou Shi?"

"His nose and face are bruised and swollen. This time, you can rest assured that Ah Li will solve it."

Lin groaned a few times and nodded.

As soon as he looked up, he saw old man Mu coming back from the field with a hoe on his shoulder.

Old Man Mu wiped the sweat off his forehead, and as soon as he entered the room, he asked with a smile, "I'm so hungry, what shall we have for lunch?"

Lin suddenly realized: "Oh, I forgot about lunch."

Saying that, she got up quickly and walked to the kitchen, "Wait a while, I'll cook now."

"Sister Zhang, don't go back at noon, just have lunch here."

Mrs. Zhang readily agreed.

These days when they moved to Ping'an Village, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Lin are already like sisters.

"Where is A Li? Why haven't you seen A Li?"

Old man Mu washed his hands, stood at the door of the kitchen and asked.

Lin: "Didn't I go to plant cabbage with you?"

Old man Mu scratched his head: "No, I haven't seen her all morning."

Lin didn't think much about it: "Will you go to Doctor Liu's house to study medicine?"

Old man Mu nodded. Mu Li worshiped Dr. Liu as his teacher, and it was normal for him to learn medical skills by his side.

"Brother Mu!"

"Sister Lin!"

A worried voice came.

Old man Mu turned his head to look at the people who came in the yard, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin is here, come in and sit down."

Seeing old man Mu's smiling face, Qin knew that he didn't know what happened. She was very anxious, and said, "Brother Mu, it's not good, Ah Li has gone into the mountain."

Old Man Mu smiled and said, "I thought she was studying medicine under Dr. Liu, but she went to the mountain. What's the fuss about going to the mountain? It's not the first time Ah Li has gone to the mountain."

Old man Mu thought that Mu Li was still just walking around the foot of the mountain as before, instead of going deep into the forest.

Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Mrs. Qin was so anxious that she ran to the stove and said anxiously to Mrs. Lin: "The eight people sent by the official to search the mountains this morning were all bitten by wolves. When I passed by Dr. Liu’s house, Dr. Liu was healing these people, he couldn’t get away, so he asked me to come and inform you.”

Snapped!
The bowl in Lin's hand fell to the ground and broke in two.

She also heard the howling of wolves this morning...

Old man Mu couldn't laugh anymore, he also heard the howling of wolves in the morning, which made him break out in a cold sweat.

Ah Li is on the mountain now...

Old man Mu rushed out of the house.

Lin's complexion changed drastically, and she didn't even bother to take off her apron, so she also ran out.

Mrs. Zhang quickly extinguished the fire in the pot, and quickly chased it out.

Qin Shi followed the three of them and chased them out.

A lot of people have gathered at the entrance of the village. The big guys are standing, squatting, sitting, or leaning on the tree, all holding bowls in their hands, discussing something in a hurry.

They gathered here, without exception, to see if any corpses were found on the mountain.

Someone sharp-eyed saw a group of people appearing at the foot of the mountain and approaching in great strength and mightiness.

The villagers looked over in unison.

A gust of hot wind blew, wrapped in an unpleasant rancid smell, and rushed towards the villagers watching the excitement at the entrance of the village.

Some people have a light appetite and can't stand the smell, so they vomited violently while leaning on the tree.

Immediately afterwards, more people vomited.

The air was soon filled with an unpleasant smell, mixed with filth and corpses...
