"What's going on? Why are you doing such a trick? Tell me honestly, otherwise, you will be left with nothing to eat!" the old ghost shouted in a deep voice.
"this……"
The leading gangster collapsed on the ground: "You two gentlemen, to be honest, we were all hungry, we were desperate, and we had no choice but to go this way. We swear, tonight is really the first time...
"
Su Che and the old ghost were not surprised. A divine realm and a Wuji realm, if even these ordinary people who have no power to bind a chicken can't see through, then they are considered ghosts.
Neither of them spoke, but the "gangster" explained everything clearly...
"Boss, we were originally good young men from the nearby villages, but now that the war in the north has reached this point, all the wealthy children and merchant families who can leave have moved south with their families, leaving this war-torn and barbaric land...
"
"We are the only ones left who are not even qualified to leave. We still have the elderly, weak, sick and disabled at home to take care of, so we have to stay..."
"However, the war has reached this point, with hundreds of miles of desolate land and no harvest from the great farmland. There is nothing we can do..."
"Two gentlemen, we came to be bandits not to stutter, nor to grab food for ourselves, but to feed our families... It's not that we don't want to buy knives, it's..."
"Alas... I'm ashamed to say that we don't even have the money to buy a knife!"
The old ghost started to cry when he saw this guy talking, and he thought it was true: "Then you still dare to pretend to be King Yama of Black Wind Village? Any one of the people from Black Wind Village is more ruthless than all of you put together!"
"Yes, yes, we really don't dare to pretend...but, if you believe it, it will save us trouble in robbing..."
"Get up."
The old ghost shook his head helplessly.
He sighed deeply, the world was in chaos and the people had no food to eat, so the poor and treacherous people took this road, so how can we blame them?
"Masters, do you want to let us go?"
"Master, can we go?"
"Did I tell you to leave?" The old ghost glanced at these people with stern eyes. They were all so silent and scared that they did not dare to move. They stood up halfway, but almost knelt down again.
"Sir, we have said everything we need to say, and we have taken action...I promise that I will never dare or do such a thing again..."
The old ghost waved his hand to silence him and asked, "Did you just say that you are all from this village?"
"They are all from a few miles around." The leader pulled the two people behind him: "They are from this village, but now the village is no longer a village. People are running away and hiding. Some have gone into the mountains, and some have
They dug a pit..."
The old ghost said: "Let me ask you about someone!"
"Sir, tell me, we will definitely tell you what we know..."
The old ghost was silent for a moment and said: "Just go to this temple, go east, there are about seven or eight families behind it, and there is one family. The male owner is a hunter, right?"
"Hunter?"
"this……"
Two young men from the same village hesitated for a moment and looked at each other: "Uncle, before the war, there were many hunters here. Eighty percent of the male heads of every household relied on hunting for a living..."
"Listen to what I have to say!"
The old ghost seemed hesitant to speak: "I'm narrowing down the scope for you, right?"
"Yes, yes, please tell me..."
The old ghost said: "The male owner of this family, this hunter, I heard that he went into the mountains to hunt in the early years and never came out again. Maybe he encountered a blind bear and was eaten... There is only one woman left in the family, and a little daughter...
…”
"oh……"
"knew!"
"Master, this is not the case often. I'll know it when you say that!"
The man was in high spirits: "It's Xiao Yue'er's family! She and her mother have been dependent on each other for many years. It's not easy for mother and daughter in this village... Xiao Yue'er's mother is a famous flower in eight villages within ten miles.
Hua, when she was young, all the strong men who wanted to marry her lined up...It's a pity that this woman also had a bad fate, her husband died..."
"Fuck you uncle!"
The old ghost kicked him impatiently: "I asked you to tell me the current situation of this family, but who asked you to introduce the history of this family? You talk enough!"
Those people didn't dare to look at the old ghost's expression. When they heard that the old ghost was angry, they were confused and kept silent, not to mention not daring to speak.
Su Che suddenly captured the key information from this information...
This old ghost...
He made a joke before saying that he saved the little girl but didn't give her life to her. He also joked that she was only fourteen or fifteen years old.
The relationship is still in the situation of mother and daughter, and she is still a widow...
Su Che was calm, this old man probably saved his daughter and fell in love with her mother...
Otherwise, why would I make a special detour to do this?
"Old ghost..."
Su Che thought of this and nodded at the old ghost: "Old friend?"
as expected!
The old ghost's old face suddenly turned red!
"have to!"
In just this second, Su Che understood everything!
"Ahem..."
Su Che cleared his throat.
Of course, there is nothing shameful about this. She is a widow, her husband has been gone for many years, and she is also alone. If she can see her in the right eye, this is not against the rules of ethics.
"Tell me! How is this family doing now?" Su Che said.
"well……"
The man sighed: "Speaking of which, if Xiao Yue'er were alive, she would have been sixteen years old this year, and would have been a tall and graceful girl..."
"What did you say!?"
"boom!"
As soon as these words came out, both Su Che and Lao Gui felt like they were given a slap in the face! The feeling of a thunderous strike came to their hearts!
The old ghost grabbed the man's collar: "What are you saying, that little girl... is dead!?"
"yes……"
The man said: "More than a year ago, Xiao Yue'er was young and beautiful. Although she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, she was also very generous. The two of them lived a very careful life. I don't know why they were betrayed by the mountain in Heifeng Village.
The thief is targeting..."
"Later, Xiao Yue'er was about to be taken to the mountains to be a concubine. That time was basically unlucky. The people in Heifeng Village are so powerful. The farmers in the village couldn't afford to offend them, and no one dared to stand up for them.
They are orphans and widowers..."
"But later, it was good luck to say the least. They met a chivalrous guy who killed several people in Heifeng Village and saved their mother and daughter. The people in the original village clapped their hands and applauded. It was such a relief for such a hero!
Wherever you go, there is good news... Everyone thought that from then on, Xiaoyue'er and her mother were saved..."
"Unexpectedly, the hero left after rescuing the mother and daughter... A month after leaving, the bandits did not dare to mess around, but as the situation gradually calmed down, they also knew that
The heroes who rescued people just happened to encounter an injustice on the road. After doing this, the people were gone long ago, and it was impossible to guard the mother and daughter, so they tried to start again... Speaking of which
Tragic, that hero is indeed gone... without a trace..."
"You two masters, you also know that those bandits and bandits can't do anything. They are so bold and do all kinds of evil... Xiao Yue'er and her mother were captured and taken to the mountain that night. I only remember that that night, the wind was very strong.
, just like the howling of wolves, when the bandits came down the mountain to the village, no one in the village dared to make a sound, they all hid in the house and did not dare to show their faces, but everyone in the house could hear it clearly, Xiao Yue'er and her daughter
The two of them cried so loudly that the whole village's hearts were broken..."
"If, if my guess is correct, the mother and daughter have strong personalities. After more than a year, they should be... dead..."
